Bruce Arena on possible international returns of Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane and the status of Omar Gonzalez
CARSON, Calif. – Omar Gonzalez will not be heading out on international duty with the U.S. National Team, but could the LA Galaxy get Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane back before next Wednesday's game against the Montreal Impact?
"It's possible" says Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena.
Gonzalez has already withdrawn from U.S. duty with a hip injury, but following training on Tuesday, the Galaxy boss stated that the club has communicated with the national teams of Ireland (Robbie Keane) and the U.S. (Landon Donovan) about having the players return in time for Montreal.
"They're well aware of the fact that we'd like to bring the players back," Arena said, who reiterated that the decision is in the hands of their respective national team coaches. "We've been in contact. We know what we're doing there. We didn't make a decision, but we in a timely fashion have requested to see if the players could return."
Donovan indicated following Sunday's 5-0 victory over Chivas USA that he'd like to help out the Galaxy next Wednesday while Robbie Keane downplayed any return "as far as I'm concerned, I'm going to play for my country, and that's it."
Meanwhile, in an interview with LA Galaxy Insider after the SuperClasico, Jaime Penedo also indicated that he was unlikely to return due to the importance of the October World Cup qualifiers to Panama's hopes of reaching Brazil next year.
As for Gonzalez's status for Montreal, Arena stated that there was no update on his status, but said that the team will "just see how he responds."
It looks like we may have the schedule in place for the 2013 MLS Cup Playoffs.
Multiple sources including SI.com's Brian Straus and Seattle Times reporter Joshua Mayers have provided the complete schedule for this year's MLS postseason.
As for how the Galaxy's quest for the postseason is shaping up, check my Playoff Picture piece for LAGalaxy.com.
The full schedule is below…
Knockout Round: October 30 and 31 (single game, No. 4 seed hosts No. 5)
Conference semifinals: November 2-3 and 6-7 (home and home series hosted with the higher seed hosting the second leg. Scoring based on aggregate goals. No. 1 seed playing the Knockout Round winner while the No. 2 seed plays No. 3)
Conference finals: November 9-10 and 23-24 (home and home series hosted with the higher seed hosting the second leg. Scoring based on aggregate goals. Higher seed hosts second leg. Two-week break between games due to FIFA international window)
MLS Cup: December 7 (hosted by team with best record in the regular season)
Thoughts on the postseason schedule?
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy clinched their second consecutive MLS Reserve League West Division title with a 2-0 victory over Chivas USA.
The victory is the perfect cap to a season that saw the Galaxy reserves go undefeated in their last eight matches after going winless in their first two matches. On Monday, LA controlled the tempo against Chivas USA with Hector Jimenez and Jose Villarreal scoring in the win.
"To win the Reserve League title for a second year in a row is great," said Galaxy reserve league head coach and LA assistant coach Curt Onalfo. "The thing with the reserve league is that it has a lot of functions: developing players, bringing guys back from injury, and you're keeping guys sharp so you're trying to balance all of that as a coach, but at the same time, you're the Galaxy so every time you step on the field, you win. So being able to accomplish all things two years in a row has me very pleased."
"We take this real seriously and these guys don't get many days off. When the first team is off, we're plugging away with reserve games and getting guys sharp," Onalfo added. "We put in a good effort and it shows because when they were called upon in [the CONCACAF Champions League], they stepped up. Today was a big game for them and they stepped up again and how we stepped up to the challenge."
Back from injury, Leonardo moving toward game action after 45 minute shift with the LA Galaxy reserves
CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy defender Leonardo continued his return from injury on Monday with a 45 minute shift in LA reserves 2-0 victory over Chivas USA.
Leonardo has missed the Galaxy's last two league matches with left adductor fatigue that he states occurred in the closing moments of the team's 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders FC on Sept. 21 and then became re-aggregivated during LA's trip to Costa Rica for CONCACAF Champions League play.
"It was the first time that I've played or trained with the group. The last couple days, I've been training off to the side and it was good for me to do that. I realized that there are a couple things that I need to work on and I'll work on that."
Rookie Kofi Opare has performed well in Leonardo's absence, but following the reserves victory, assistant coach Curt Onalfo admits that the Brazilian center back is back in the mix for a starting role—possibly as soon as LA's Oct. 16 game against the Montreal Impact.
"[This appearance keeps] him sharp. He's been out two weeks and it keeps him in the mix for the next game," said Onalfo. "We just wanted to be smart [with playing him 45 minutes] and moving him along slowly. He's on target [for Montreal]."
The Brazilian center back agrees that Montreal could be a target for him.
"My fitness is not that far off where it was just two weeks ago, I didn't lose that much," said Leonardo. "I'm confident that I can get it back in the next couple of days. Yes, we're off for a few days this week, but I'll have a few individual sessions to do that."
LA Galaxy right back Sean Franklin reflects on being present during the Los Angeles Dodgers dramatic win
CARSON, Calif. – Los Angeles is still buzzing following the Los Angeles Dodgers dramatic 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Monday evening, and as the Boys in Blue advanced to the National League Championship Series, LA Galaxy right back Sean Franklin was there to enjoy the action.
The lifetime Dodgers fan and two-time MLS Cup champion was in the stands at Chavez Ravine on Monday evening and on Tuesday, still marveling at the atmosphere in the crowd as the Dodgers moved to within four victories of their first World Series appearance since 1988.
"It was crazy. I've been in the stadium and seen some games, but to see the stadium like it was on Wednesday and the way that it ended was amazing. I was fortunate to get tickets and go with my closest friends. It was a great feeling.
But what was the moment like when Los Angeles' newest hero Juan Uribe belted his National League Division Series winning home run in the 8th inning?
"The moment that he hit you knew that it was gone and everyone just went crazy," said Franklin. "I had my hands up and once the ball went in the stands we were all high-fiving and jumping around. We were high-fiving strangers and that was one of those night's that you made a friend with everybody."
Omar Gonzalez will not be joining the U.S. National Team after all as the LA Galaxy defender pulled out of the squad with a left hip strain suffered during the first half of LA's 5-0 victory over Chivas USA last Sunday.
The injury caused Gonzalez to exit LA's SuperClasico rout at half time, but following the match, associate head coach Dave Sarachan -- and Gonzalez himself -- described the substitution as precautionary. Gonzalez will now have less than 10 days to get fit for the Galaxy's match against the Montreal Impact on Oct. 16.
Puebla defender Michael Orozco replaces Gonzalez in U.S. camp as they prepare for World Cup qualifiers against Jamaica on Oct. 11 in Kansas City, Kan. and Panama on Oct. 15.
Expect Gonzalez to be fit in time for Montreal? Upset that he's not with the U.S. this week?

CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo has the hopes of a nation resting upon his shoulders this week as he seeks to help Panama slay Mexico at the vaulted Estadio Azteca and reach the World Cup for the first time.
Panama currently sit in fourth place in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying tied on points with Mexico, but ahead on the goals scored tiebreaker. A victory against El Tri on Oct. 11 would help Panama inch closer to locking down fourth place, which would allow them to face New Zealand in a two-leg playoff for a berth in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Penedo's Panama have had plenty of success against Mexico over the past year with the Central Americans picking up a 2-0-1 record in all competitions against El Tri. However, this time they'll have to do so at the Estadio Azteca where Mexico are traditionally dominant, but dropped their last home World Cup qualifier to Honduras 2-1. With Mexico coming off their first defeat in 27 competitive matches at Azteca, Penedo knows that Los Canaleros are in for a battle.
"It's going to be a tough game. A complicated game," Penedo told LA Galaxy Insider on Sunday. "Playing in that stadium against that team is always difficult, but we have lots of confidence that we can have a good game. That's what we want and that's what the entire country wants."
Although there is speculation that his U.S. National Team teammates Omar Gonzalez and Landon Donovan may return before the match between their two countries on Oct. 15, don't look for Penedo to return if Los Canaleros can't get a result in Mexico.
"If the result in Mexico doesn't matter, we'd still have an opportunity [to qualify for Brazil] with the last game, but that will take care of itself. Right now, I just want to concentrate on Friday," said Penedo. "Today was an important game, we got three points that we needed and it keeps us in the fight and on the right track."
CARSON, Calif. -- Landon Donovan's tying of the all-time MLS regular season goals record is no doubt a great accomplishment, but let's look at it by the numbers.
134: Goals scored in Donovan's career
301: Number of games that it took Donovan to reach the mark compared to 365 for Cunningham.
25765: Number of minutes that Donovan has played in his career compared to the 22751 that Jeff Cunningham played.
102: Goals scored by Donovan for the LA Galaxy
32: Goals scored by Donovan for the San Jose Earthquakes
3: Number of regular season games left this season for Donovan to break Cunningham's record.
Now that you've looked at those numbers and read my sidebar on Donovan's accomplishment, I ask a simple question:
CARSON, Calif. – Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and Gyasi Zardes got the goals in the LA Galaxy's 5-0 demolishing of Chivas USA, but midfielder Michael Stephens was one of the true unsung heroes in the victory.
Stationed on the right side of midfield, Stephens was efficient as he completed 59 of 68 passes on the evening while frequently testing Chivas left back Jaime Frias. The 24-year-old assisted in LA's build up play in the final third throughout the match, but he nearly got on the score sheet in the 57th minute when he launched a pass to Robbie Keane that was deflected off a Chivas defender in the penalty area.
After being afforded the chance to start for the first time since June 28, Stephens admitted that he was desperate to capitalize on the opportunity.
"I had a good game. I just kept it simple because there was not much running to do with how hot it was out there. It made my job easy and I just played small touches which is what Bruce wanted of me and it worked out," said Stephens. "Any time that you get an opportunity, you want to do well with it and this year, I haven't always taken the most of my opportunities, but today was a good one. I'm trying to build on it at the end of the year."
Following the match, associate head coach Dave Sarachan took notice of Stephens' stellar play.
"Mikey competes. The guy competes. He's tactically very sharp in terms of knowing where to position himself. You never have to question his desire and his effort that he's going to put in," said Sarachan. "I think he made good decisions today. Fair enough, we had some space to play, but I think Mikey, in that role, both sides of the ball, did a very good job."
Should Stephens get more opportunities?
Share your thoughts below.
CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy associate head coach Dave Sarachan addressed the media following the LA Galaxy's 5-0 victory over Chivas USA on Sunday.
Sarachan's thoughts are below...
(On the win...)
SARACHAN: "It was no secret that we were at a point now that we needed three points. I thought the guys, given the conditions today and as hot as it was, came up with a very good attitude and came up with three points, which is the most important thing. It gets us closer to a playoff position. Sure it's nice to score five goals, but the key was getting three points and we did that. It's massive. We kind of think that the season started today."
(On Landon Donovan tying the MLS all-time regular season record...)
SARACHAN: "We've known Landon for a long time. Very proud over these years to follow Landon, to be a part of Landon's career. We say it over and over when Landon is healthy and in full tilt you take him over anyone else. Very proud and he should be very proud of the achievement, but he will be the first to tell you that the three points were more important. Just hope it continues."
(On Gyasi Zardes' performance today...)
SARACHAN: "Gyasi has been like a caged lion for us in terms of getting some points on the board. We spent some time in training, and hopefully it paid off a little bit for him, on recognizing moments where he can really use his speed to get by guys. Today, I thought he did an excellent job of finding those moments to find some space to use his speed to beat the defenders. That's part one. Part two is that once you've beaten the defender you get to serve it properly, which he did. He had two assists and got himself a goal. Production wise we are very pleased for Gyasi. I thought in the second half, like most guys, tired a little bit, maybe took his foot off the gas. He's a young guy, so he needs to understand that 90 minutes is 90 minutes, but this was a big game for him. I was pleased."
(On Michael Stephens' performance today...)
SARACHAN: "Mikey competes. The guy competes. He's tactically very sharp in terms of knowing where to position himself. You never have to question his desire and his effort that he's going to put in. I think he made good decisions today. Fair enough, we had some space to play, but I think Mikey, in that role, both sides of the ball, did a very good job."
(On defeating Chivas USA...)
SARACHA: "I'm just happy we won. It didn't matter who we played today. It's a Clasico, and I know that you guys build that up as an emotional affair. I think that we are at a point in our franchise that it's not quite the emotional affair that you guys think it is. It was just another game today. We respect them. I think their coach is a classy guy. I think their staff is trying to get that ship righted. We respect them. We look at this as we banged in some goals, which we were pleased about, and got three points. It happened to be against Chivas."

Roy Williams hopes to stay around until the end of today's game at
With 14.2 seconds remaining and the crowd ready to pour onto the court to celebrate what became a 90-57 upset of the then-No. 3 Tar Heels, Williams shook hands with
Williams said he has "zero regrets" about taking his team — or at least most of the group — off the court and into what he considered a safe haven.
"It was ugly and some people could have gotten hurt," Williams said.
Yet it wasn't that easy, particularly with the backlash that ensued. Before that, though, unbeknownst to Williams was the fact that five walk-ons and director of basketball operations Joe Holladay had remained at the court as the game was completed.
That wasn't part of Williams' plan when he departed. He wanted the entire entourage with him.
This week, Williams was able to offer a light comment while acknowledging that he received criticism from some corners for the decision.
"One of the walk-ons (came to me and said), 'We thought we could take any shot we wanted to,' " Williams said of the time when the coach wasn't watching.
That was about the only chuckle that the Tar Heels could find in that experience.
While Williams said there has been a calculated response from his coaching staff to losses this season, the debacle last January in
"There was no sense in that one," Williams said.
The Tar Heels return to
The memory of the debacle exists.
"I remember Coach writing '33' on the board," junior guard Reggie Bullock said. "They beat us by 33 points. We shouldn't say any more about it. We should just go out and play."
This season has been filled with fluctuating results for the Seminoles, too. They bumbled through their non-conference schedule, but they've responded well during the past week in the conference.
"I guess you might say our backs are against the wall a little bit,"
"I'm sure we have plenty of time to overcome our inadequacies,"
Who: North Carolina (10-5, 0-2) at Florida State (10-5, 2-0)
When: 2 p.m. today (ESPN)
Where: Tucker Center, Tallahassee, Fla.
Series: North Carolina leads 42-12

I just realized that if I lose my beat-to-hell DX Valkyrie anytime soon I'm in a world of hurt, and I don't have time for my Champ. Valkyrie to get the crap beat out of it enough to turn it over with my weak-ass throw, SO I'm going to break down and try some new drivers that are (in theory) so understable that even I can turn them over out of the box.
Which brings me to my question: Where would I find one of the following that I could go buy right now, w/o having to order it online?
1. Vulcan (pref. Star, but would try Pro)
2. Katana (pref. Blizzard, but would try others)
3. Anything else that I could turn over easy (I'm not very familiar w/ other manufacturers)
Obviously I'd like the lowest weights possible, since as I mentioned above, I can't even turn over a brand new 168g Valkyrie.
Thanks in advance!!

DALLAS — Hunter Huss coach Walt Wallace didn't know how his team would react to Monday's game at North Gaston considering the Huskies hadn't played in 10 days and suffered a disappointing loss to Ashbrook that night.
After a 70-48 victory over the Wildcats, Wallace could breathe a little easier.
"It was a pretty good effort," he said. "I was worried about that because we had such a long layoff and things didn't go very well then. You don't know how you are going to respond to begin with."
The Huskies had no problems with North Gaston and didn't show any effects of a lull in the Big South season, which included a school holiday last Tuesday and a postponement of Friday's originally scheduled matchup against the Wildcats due to inclement weather.
"A couple of the kids told me in the locker room, 'Don't worry, coach, we got you. We're going to come with our A-game tonight,'" Wallace said. "You don't know how you're going to respond to not playing very well at Ashbrook."
Huss (14-3 overall, 6-1 Big South) jumped out to a 20-point halftime lead with Kerrion Moore (16 points), Jerimiah Hunter (14 points) and Jaelan Kennedy (10 points) doing all the scoring in the first two quarters.
The Huskies were never in jeopardy of a surprise upset by North Gaston (7-11 overall, 0-7 Big South) in the second half and cruised to an easy win.
"I think they took their frustrations out on us," said North Gaston coach David Handsel. "They brought a lot of energy and we had a hard time matching up with them. They're a very, very good basketball team. They came out and played really well."
Moore finished with 20 points, Kennedy had 15 and Hunter added 14 and three blocked shots.
Corey Staley led the Wildcats with 11 points. Daquan Mintz scored eight.
Huss is at home Tuesday against South Point and Friday versus Kings Mountain. North Gaston travels to Ashbrook on Tuesday and Forestview Friday.
In the girls' game, North Gaston downed Huss 36-17 to improve to 8-8 overall and 3-4 in the Big South.
The Wildcats matched their total number of conference wins from last year with the victory over the Huskies and have won two more games overall this year from the 2011-12 season.
"We're always happy with a win, but we've seen them play better," said interim coach Apryl Smith. "It was a good team effort."
Jamie Staley topped North Gaston's scoring with 10 points. Kendal Cloninger had nine.
Huss played without the services of leading scorer Jalaah Crosby, who suffered a concussion in practice Thursday.
"It hurt us not having her being a senior," said Huss coach Jason Cabe. "Hopefully she can get cleared by the doctor and be back with us maybe (tonight). If not, maybe Friday."
August Jones and Nicole Knox each scored four points for the Huskies (1-16 overall, 0-7 Big South).

One shot. One chance. That's all you get.
If you're lucky.
Being a football player and making a team in the National Football League is accomplishment enough. Being a member of a group of players who reach the Super Bowl is rarer still. Dan Marino, one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game, made it to and lost the Super Bowl in his second pro season. Surely, he'd be there again.
He wasn't.
Two Kinston High School graduates were good enough and lucky enough to make it to Super Bowl XX, both playing for the New England Patriots. The game was a high-point of their careers, and for the 1980s Patriots. It was also about much more than what happened between the goal lines of the Louisiana Superdome on Jan. 26, 1986.
The Patriots drafted tight end Lin Dawson out of N.C. State with the 212nd pick of the 1981 NFL Draft. They took offensive guard Ron Wooten out of UNC two rounds earlier, at No. 157. By the 1985 season, they were seasoned veterans in the prime of their careers.
To get to New Orleans that year, the Pats had to do it the hard way. They got in the playoffs as a wild card team and had to go on the road to beat the New York Jets, the Los Angeles Raiders and then the Miami Dolphins in the AFC Championship Game.
The hype
After the last win, the rhythm and routine that served the team well was interrupted. How players and organizations respond to the build-up to the Super Bowl can impact what happens on the field.
"There are more distractions, many more requests for interviews," Wooten said. "You're in a town with tons of fans, and family traveling, and they expect and deserve more of your time, so there are more distractions than usual. But, with the professionalism of the coaching staff and players, I don't think many teams get lost in that hype and take their eye of the ball."
But if it's the first time in the big game for a particular set of coaches and players, adjustments have to be made on the fly.
"Of course, it's a euphoric time, because most of the world is watching," Dawson said. "You get phone calls from not only your relatives, but people you haven't talked to for years that find a way to contact you through the football organization. You find out very quickly that the marketing giants of the NFL kind of take over. And, for eight or nine days, you kind of lose sight of the fact that it is another football game."
Dawson reflected that part of the problem was dealing with logistical necessities — training, practicing and sleeping in strange places. Bedouins in cleats and pads.
It can start to mess with a player's focus.
"You start thinking about the Super Bowl versus the game, and there's a difference," Dawson said. "There's a marked difference in thinking about a football game versus the Super Bowl."
Wooten said the proliferation in sports media and player availability through social media brings an added pressure to athletes like this season's Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, but pressure and an amount of outsized ballyhoo have been part and parcel of what makes the Super Bowl.
"In Super Bowl XX when we played, every interested sports fan in the world watches it — it's the most expensive advertising of the year, it has the best ratings," Wooten said. "Certainly, we were playing in a Super Bowl that had a very unique team — the Bears — with a national following and a lot of hype. So, there was an extra-special amount of hype and coverage."
The game
The New England offense depended heavily on the run and time of possession, making both players key.
"We were strictly a running team," Wooten said. "We didn't have a lot of skill, or at least production, in the passing game, and coming from behind was a very difficult thing to do. We were beating teams with aggressive special teams play, a defense that got turnovers and an offense that possessed the ball and ran it."
Dawson caught 39 balls for 427 yards and four touchdowns in 1984, and though passing production was down, he was expected to be an integral part of disrupting the Chicago Bears defense. A defense, coached by defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan and running his signature "46" scheme, considered to be one of the all-time best in the NFL.
"That defense was what you call the '46' defense — it's different because they put a defensive back over the tight end and put a rushing linebacker on the outside," Dawson said. "Our game plan was to use two tight ends to neutralize that 46 defense, which we believed was going to work."
On the second play of the game, Bears running back Walter Payton fumbled at Chicago's 19-yard line and the Patriots recovered. On New England's first offensive play of the game, quarterback Tony Eason threw the ball to Dawson for what most accounts considered to be a would-be touchdown.
Dawson dropped the ball as his left patellar tendon ruptured.
He'd torn the tendon against the Jets and played most of the game. Dawson scored a touchdown against the Raiders before he had to come out of the contest, and even played significant minutes against the Dolphins until he had to head to the bench.
Dawson and the medical staff agreed the tendon could be repaired after the season was over. He said he regrets taking the painkiller injection and going into the game — once the tendon blew, "our game plan kind of went out the window at that point."
After being tied at three points a piece, two scores off Patriots fumbles and two solid drives by the Bears put Chicago up 23-3 going into halftime. When New England didn't turn the ball over, the team couldn't complete enough passes with Eason or Steve Grogan, while the Bears bottled up running back Craig James.
The Patriots gained yards on only four of 21 plays in the first half, putting up minus-19 yards of offense. Once Chicago went 96 yards on the second possession of the second half to go up 30-3, the Pats went into a state of high anxiety.
Wooten said that element of a team's psyche is what makes pro football different than baseball or basketball, which closes the season with a best-of-seven series.
"In football, it's one game, and things start going badly against you, you almost have a sense of desperation setting in," Wooten said. "And I would call it panic. Where, 'Look, this is getting away from us.' Unfortunately, we know that if you react with panic to any situation, you're not going to be happy with the outcome. I think that happened to a lot of AFC teams down in that period of time — certainly the Patriots. We were ill-equipped to come from behind against teams."
Indeed, the 46-10 shellacking New England got was not unusual during the NFC's 13-0 run from Super Bowl XIX to Super Bowl XXXI. AFC teams lost by an average of nearly three touchdowns — only the four-point win by the 49ers over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl XXIII and one-point classic victory by the New York Giants over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV stand as outliers.
In the days immediately following the Super Bowl, the Boston Globe ran a series of stories by sportswriter Ron Borges detailing a pattern of drug use among Patriots players, especially cocaine use. Wooten admitted that 90 percent of what went on that season never made it into the media. But, what did turned that offseason into his "worst nightmare."
Wooten said he and other players were aware some of their teammates had serious problems and it was harming their performance. Dawson said he didn't believe the allegations of cocaine abuse. But both credit head coach Raymond Berry with holding the team together when distrust between players and New England's management and ownership was at its highest.
"We dealt with it mainly because of the leadership of our coach," Wooten said. "Raymond Berry recognized the problems with recreational drug abuse. Marijuana, cocaine, other things were a distraction. And alcohol, to be honest with you. He took it upon himself to get programs and counseling for players that they had identified had this problem before it all came out.
"So, he was trying to deal with it proactively, because there was recognition that it was a problem. His sincere love and respect for these individuals and his desire to help them — it was more of that, combined with their focus as athletes."
Dawson looked at an offseason and full regular season that he would need to rehab his knee instead of be on the field. And going into the 1986 campaign, a fortunate break was hard to find.
"After (the stories broke), there was a lack of trust on our team. It got pretty bad," Dawson said. "There were guys who wanted to be traded, and we came back the next year. Raymond Berry, being the leader he is, pulled us back together. Then we had four of our defensive starters go down in preseason. … I know we lost four players for the season, and things kind of went into the tubes."
Out of adversity emerged a division champion. New England went 11-5 and won the AFC East. Dawson was able to get himself healthy without being rushed back on the field. What got the Patriots through the '85 playoffs came back into effect.
"When you're a guy like me, where at any organization I'm with, that becomes an important part of my life," Wooten said. "We had a lot of players like that who acted the same way — 'This is our team, we have a lot of respect for our coaches and the owners, we don't need to cash this in and not stay together and achieve.' We were able to do that."
Dawson said the bond between the players of those seasons still lasts.
"The issue is going from a high to an ultimate low. There's no real reward for losing the Super Bowl. And, you become close to those players," Dawson said. "By the way, when we got together for our 20th reunion, Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots — he's won, what, three Super Bowls and been to six — said that our team, our group of guys from '85-'86, were still the closest of any team that he's had. It really impacted us."
Looking back, looking ahead
Tonight, Ravens linebacker and future member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Ray Lewis will play his last game. Wooten was on the same line Hall of Fame offensive guard John Hannah, who closed out his career in Super Bowl XX.
"There was nobody more focused on winning than John," said Wooten, who like Dawson was an inaugural selection for the Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame in 2004. "That, sort of, was infused in players who were still there and left behind. What I expect Ray Lewis will leave for the Ravens will carry through for several years. His intensity and focus and commitment will carry forward. That's how John's impact carried forward."
And for some of the players in Super Bowl XLVII who never make it back, what's special just might be who are in the stands to see them.
"The great thing was — Coach Coley Little was my mentor," Dawson said of the 2012 Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame inductee and legendary Kinston youth coach. "He's been my mentor for as long as I can remember. And being able to bring him to the Super Bowl. That was a joy to me. Those little things like that — being able to bring him to watch me play in the biggest game of the world. It wasn't a reward, but it was a small token. That, to me, was something.
"Second, just seeing all the families together for the first time. Seeing grandmothers, and people who would never come to a regular game. My mother was able to come to New Orleans and see me play in the Super Bowl. Those were great, great stories."

In our great nation, I am often surprised, sometimes dismayed and many times confounded by what we choose to focus our considerable angst.
Currently, the country is in an uproar over the Second Amendment. The outcry of "They are taking our guns" can be heard from Maine to Florida to New Mexico to Washington. People all across our great nation are saying things such as "You can't change the Bill of Rights" or "Amendments are set in stone."
Well, actually both amendments can be changed and have been, but I am not here for a gun control argument. What I am here to point out is the hypocrisy of the people railing against the "attacks on the Second Amendment," while directly under their nose, many of our other so-called sacred amendments are being dismantled.
The First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and 10th have been, are and will be trampled on in the name of "progress." That is our hollowed Bill of Rights and where is the outrage? Where are the signs? Where are the rallies?
The First Amendment stating Freedom of Speech has been under the gun for more than a century. From registration fees to permits to outright laws prohibiting it, our speech has been and will be censored on a daily basis. We have all seen people taken away by police for being the lone descending voice at some public meeting, rally or hearing.
The Fourth Amendment — prohibiting unreasonable search and seizures — is a complete joke at this point. Oh sure, we all see on television shows such as "Law and Order" that some shiesty lawyer get a scummy client of with some motion about there being "no warrant for the search" and "the search was illegal," however, in the real world, this simply does not happen.
Between questionable traffic stops, profiling and "relaxed" criteria for smashing through doors, the Fourth Amendment is in shambles. Of course, many out there will disagree with this statement but only because it has not been them looking down the barrel of police assault rifle because they "fit the description."
The Fifth Amendment, which sets out rules for indictments, eminent domain and due process, is in complete disarray. The Patriot Act has all but put an end to many of our sacred steps of due process while local governments have run amok with eminent domain.
Once again, the outrage is tethered at best, and non-existent, at worst.
So why the outpouring of support for the Second Amendment? Why do we care more about our guns than our civil liberties? Is it as simple as guns are tangible items? You can hold a gun in your hand but holding onto due process may prove more elusive.
The ridiculous nature of what we choose to be upset about doesn't stop with the Bill of Rights.
We have all either heard, are or know someone that has uttered something along the lines of "Why did we bail out the auto industry? If they were any other failing business, they would have gone under."
Between the bailout the banks received and the life preserver floated to the automakers, many Americans feel "business is business" and if it cannot be run properly it should be shut down. Makes sense right? And the fact that tax dollars were used to bail out these businesses were rescued by taxpayer dollars added even more fuel to the ever-growing fire.
So why then is no one calling for the Postal Service to be put out of its misery? Here is an institution that is losing $14 million a day and it's propped up by tax dollars, yet no one is hollering to pull the plug.
I am not saying that is what I would do or that I want them to shoot the postal service, but where is the outrage? Why is running the postal service on a ridiculously unsuccessful business model OK, but helping the auto makers is not?
What's the difference?

When I first wrote for Running Times in the 1990s, I would mail a 5 1/4" floppy disk to editor Scott Douglas. We subsequently evolved to 3 1/2" disks by snail mail and then blissfully launched into the Internet age, giving me an extra two days for writing each month. Technology has changed vastly in the intervening 15 or so years, but how much more do we know about training? In this article, I scan 15 years of my articles for Running Times (with topics suggested by editor-in-chief Jonathan Beverly and the enduring Scott Douglas) and look at when I was right and when, due to subsequent advances in science and coaching, I was, well, wrong. A bit of reflection is healthy and occasionally humbling!
THEN: In the November 2003 issue, I wrote this about tempo runs: "Arguably the single most important type of training for distance runners. Scientific studies have shown that tempo runs are an effective way to improve lactate threshold pace, which largely determines the pace you can maintain in a race. Unfortunately, the science does not provide much detail on how to do tempo runs. As a result, coaches and runners have interpreted them in a wide variety of ways." At the time, I recommended tempo runs of 20-45 minutes. By 2006 I had extended them to 50 minutes.
NOW: I wholeheartedly stand by the endorsement of tempo runs, but am now more open-minded about the range of effective workouts. Rather than limiting tempo runs to a maximum of 45-50 minutes, I now agree that there are benefits from a slightly less intense version of up to about 80 minutes. These runs are useful in preparation for any race of 10K or longer, and particularly for the half marathon to marathon.
Jerry Schumacher, coach of American 10,000m record-holder Chris Solinsky, includes these longer tempo runs (Jerry calls them "rhythm runs") in his athletes' training, with Solinsky gradually increasing his rhythm runs from 10 miles (50 minutes for Chris) to 18 miles. Solinsky starts these runs on the easy side and builds into them. Thinking back, many of the Boston area runners in the 1980s took a similar approach, starting our long runs relatively slowly and building the pace until we were approaching marathon race pace for the last 6-10 miles. Jerry and others have advanced the concept a step further and I bow to their wisdom.
Verdict: RIGHT
NOTES: More open-minded now.
THEN: In the July/August 2002 issue, I recommended trying barefoot running, saying: "You can strengthen your feet and ankles by using them as they were designed to be used. Take off your shoes and let your feet move on natural surfaces. When you walk or run barefoot, you strengthen the little muscles in your feet which have been sleeping peacefully in your shoes for years. You also stretch and strengthen your calf muscles and may improve your running form. The protection provided by your shoes allows you to get away with sloppy running style. It is very difficult, however, to run barefoot with bad technique and almost impossible to overstride."
I then explained, "You need to be very careful when starting a barefoot running program. Picture your soft little feet muscles and tendons if you suddenly say to them, 'OK, we're going to start this training program by landing with 4 times bodyweight several thousand times'–a sure recipe for injury," and went on to recommend the following way to start barefoot running: "Before you start running barefoot, you should walk barefoot for a few weeks to strengthen the muscles in your feet and ankles and toughen up the skin on the bottom of your feet. Start out by walking barefoot for 5 to 10 minutes a couple of times each day. You can also do exercises while walking barefoot such as high knees and walking on the balls of your feet to prepare your feet for running barefoot."
The column continued, "Start out with 5 minutes at the very most, and increase slowly, running barefoot every two to three days. After a couple of months, you may get to where you can run barefoot for 20 minutes, but for some people a few minutes will be all they can handle. … After a few weeks of running barefoot two or three times per week, your feet and ankles will be much stronger, which should reduce your injury risk when running. You should also find that you have more spring in your step and a slightly longer stride. Approached cautiously, barefoot running can be a useful and refreshing addition to your training."
NOW: Barefoot running has boomed since 2002, with many runners ending up on the injury heap from launching into it too quickly. I stand by both my overall endorsement of barefoot running and the particularly cautious approach to incorporating it into training.
Verdict: RIGHT

Chemotherapy Based on Positron Emission Tomography Scan in Treating Patients With Stage I or Stage II Hodgkin Lymphoma
Trial Phase
Phase 2
Trial Purpose and Description
Trial Purpose
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells and allow doctors to save the part of the body where the cancer started. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures, such as PET scan, done before, during, and after chemotherapy may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well chemotherapy based on PET scan works in treating patients with stage I or stage II Hodgkin lymphoma.
Trial Description
- To determine the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with non-bulky stage I or
II Hodgkin lymphoma treated with ABVD alone or followed by escalated BEACOPP and
involved-field radiation therapy.
- To compare the PFS of patients who are PET positive versus PET negative after 2 courses
of ABVD.
- To evaluate the complete response rate in patients treated with these regimens.
- To determine the predictive value of semiquantitative evaluation of FDG/PET uptake
using various approaches at baseline, after 2 courses of AVBD, and at completion of
- To determine the predictive value of volumetric changes on CT scan after courses 2 and
4 of ABVD and compare with PET parameters with and without combination analyses
(PET+dedicated CT data).
- To compare the predictive value of metabolic parameters/changes both visual and
quantitative, IHP criteria, volumetric CT changes, molecular parameters, and
conventional parameters, including initial prognostic score.
- To assess whether elevated baseline serum soluble CD30 (sCD30), IL10, CCL17, and CCL22
correlate with clinical response and PFS.
- To assess whether persistent or recurrent elevated serial serum sCD30, IL10, CCL17, or
CCL22 correlate with relapse/progression or PET scan results.
- To confirm independently useful tissue biomarkers for risk stratification in patients
with non-bulky stage I and II Hodgkin lymphoma treated with these regimens.
- To compare mediastinal bulk on standing PA and lateral chest x-ray (> 0.33 maximum
chest diameter) with chest CT (mass > 10 cm).
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
- ABVD chemotherapy: Patients receive doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 3-5 minutes,
bleomycin sulfate IV over 3-5 minutes, vinblastine IV over 3-5 minutes, and dacarbazine
IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 2 courses.
Patients then undergo PET scan. Patients achieving complete response (CR), partial
response (PR), or stable disease (SD) with a negative PET scan receive 2 additional
courses of ABVD chemotherapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity. Patients achieving CR, PR, or SD with a positive PET scan proceed to
escalated BEACOPP chemotherapy.
- Escalated BEACOPP* chemotherapy: Patients receive doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 3-5
minutes and cyclophosphamide IV over 60 minutes on day 1, etoposide IV over 45-60
minutes on days 1-3, oral procarbazine on days 1-7, oral prednisone on days 1-14, and
bleomycin sulfate IV and vincristine IV on day 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2
courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Within 4-6
weeks after completion of BEACOPP chemotherapy, patients undergo involved-field
radiotherapy (IFRT) 5 days a week for 3½ weeks.
NOTE: * HIV-positive patients receive standard BEACOPP instead of escalated BEACOPP.
Patients undergo fludeoxyglucose F^18 PET/CT scan at baseline, and within 8-10 days after
completion of chemotherapy. Patients also undergo additional PET/CT scans within 3-4 weeks
after completion of ABVD or within 12 weeks after completion of BEACOPP and IFRT. Patients
with a negative PET scan proceed to follow up. Patients with a positive PET scan undergo
biopsy**. Patients with a negative biopsy proceed to follow up, and patients with a positive
biopsy are treated at the discretion of the investigator.
NOTE: ** Patients for whom biopsy is neither clinically appropriate nor medically feasible
proceed to follow-up. Patients for whom biopsy is neither clinically indicated nor medically
appropriate undergo a repeat PET/CT scan after 3 months. If PET/CT scan remains positive,
patients undergo biopsy as above.
Patients may undergo blood sample collection for biomarker studies.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year, every
6 months for 2-3 years, and then annually for a maximum of 5 years.

I know I'm getting in on this conversation a little late, but I just joined this forum less than a week ago. Here's my two cents.
[quote author="TheChampion"]Case in point, Larry Nichols spared the life of his hostage after she began reading The Purpose Driven Life to him. Only one paragraph and something changed in him….Why the change? God's spirit spoke to him.
The expression "any port in a storm" comes to mind.
[quote author="TheChampion"]Just rambling, but whoa, what would the world do without God….there'd be serious problems, my friend.
The Greek and early Roman civilizations didn't have your god. The Chinese empires (prior to this century) didn't have your god.
If you actually go back and look at history, there were lots of great civilizations that lasted for centuries or millenia that had nothing to do with your god.
What would the world do without your god? Pretty much what it's always done. It will endeavor to ensure that the children are healthy and thrive. It is pure conceit to think otherwise.

Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer has selected Johan Goosen at flyhalf for the Rugby Championship Test against the Wallabies on Saturday.
Keo.co.za reported yesterday that Goosen would start but Meyer surprised by completely omitting Steyn from his 22, selecting the uncapped Elton Janjties as pivot cover.
Asked about his decision to leave Steyn out, Meyer said: 'This was very difficult, but I looked at what the team needed first and then at the impact on the individual. At Loftus, where he has played well, it is a big call. But he accepted it graciously. I feel it is in his best interest that he doesn't play. He'll fight back.'
Meyer said he had contemplated including Steyn's on the bench but was dissuaded from this course of action because of the potential to expose an already under pressure player. 'It isn't going to help him to bring him on with 20 minutes and he ends up having to kick the game-winning or game-losing goal. I either back him 100% or not. That's the decision I had to take,' Meyer said.
Meyer also dispelled the perception that Goosen's natural attacking instinct would be reigned in to come in line with a game plan that is widely perceived as conservative. He explained that a sharp assessment of the state of the defensive line was key in determining what action to take.
'There's a misconception that Goosen must fit into a rigid structure. He has the freedom to play the situation as he sees it,' he said. 'But this is not Currie Cup rugby where you have space and time. I've said to him to go out and express himself, that's why I picked him. He must determine when it is on to go wide or take the safer option.'
He added: 'People have to be realistic though, you can't expect a 20-year-old to win the game on his own.'
Elsewhere Frans Steyn (who's struggling with an ankle injury) is bracketed with Jaco Taute in the midfield. The Lions youngster will make his debut in the No 13 jersey if Frans Steyn fails to recover, with skipper Jean de Villiers taking over at inside centre.
'I want two experienced guys on either side of Johan. Jaco was very good at 13 in Super Rugby,' Meyer said in explaining this move.
The medical staff were highly optimistic about Steyn's availability on Tuesday evening but he rolled the same ankle in Wednesday's training session. A call on his availability will be made after the captain's practice on Friday afternoon.
In other changes Andries Bekker and Eben Etzebeth unseat Juandre Kruger and Flip van der Merwe in the second row. 'There is great competition at lock now,' Meyer said. 'Flip played his best Test ever against the All Blacks and Juandre was very good as well.
'It was a horses for courses change there. Australia are very good at lineout time and we want to exert pressure on them there. I feel that Eben, Andries and Duane is a good combination to achieve that, as well as a little more mobile which is crucial as Australia will play expansively. Also Andries is a little more experienced and in 50-50 calls like this I always go with the more experienced guy.
Probed on why Taute had leapfrogged Juan de Jongh in the pecking order, Meyer said: 'Jaco would have been in the squad earlier had he not been injured. He is 106kg and runs the 100m in 10.7. So I looked at the way Australia defend and thought we could exploit that [better with Taute]. I can't elaborate on that because we're talking game plan then. It's a tough call on Juan.'
Coenie Oosthuizen comes onto the bench after a neck injury in the only other change to the bench.
Springboks – 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Bryan Habana, 13 Jean de Villiers, 12 Frans Steyn/Jaco Taute, 11 Francois Hougaard, 10 Johan Goosen, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Duane Vermuelen, 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Jannie du Plessis, 2 Adriaan Strauss, 1 Beast Mtawarira.
Subs: 16 Tiaan Liebenberg, 17 Coenie Oosthuizen, 18 Flip van der Merwe, 19 Marcel Coetzee, 20 Elton Jantjies, 21 Jaco Taute/Juan de Jongh, 22 Pat Lambie.

GREENVILLE - A former New Madison bar owner has been charged with several sex crimes involving two underage female victims.
Klint P. Kuck, 33, of New Paris, Ohio has been indicted on two counts of Rape and one count of Kidnapping, felonies of the first degree. He has also been charged with two misdemeanor counts of Selling or Furnishing Beer or Intoxicating Liquor to an Underage Person.
The charges stem from an investigation that alleges Kuck, who was the the former owner of the Backroads Bar & Grill in New Madison, provided minor females with alcohol before committing the criminal sex acts.
The offenses allegedly happened July 13, 2012 and Feb. 22-23, 2013. Both female victims were said to be 19-years-old at the time of the reported crimes.
Kuck, a graduate of Eaton High School, appeared for an arraignment Jan. 27 with his defense attorney Kevin L. Lennen of the Rion, Rion & Rion law firm in Dayton. A bond in the amount of $10,000 was ordered by Darke County Common Pleas Court Judge Jonathan P. Hein in which Kuck immediately posted and was released.
The case is set for a pre-trial conference March 6 at 8:30 a.m. Kuck faces up to 33 years in prison and a $60,000 fine if convicted on the three felony counts as charged.

Deaccessioned Artworks
The Indianapolis Museum of Art has embarked on a systematic evaluation of its collection since 2007 to identify candidates for deaccessioning (e.g. sale, transfer, or exchange). All objects proposed for deaccessioning are subject to the criteria and procedures outlined in the IMA's Deaccession Policy. Since 2007, the furniture, antiquities, textiles, American painting, European painting and contemporary collections have been reviewed and assessed. The decorative arts, Asian art and African collections are currently under review with additional works proposed for deaccessioning to be presented for approval at the Collections Committee and Board of Governors meetings in the future.
During this survey of the collection, unaccessioned objects that are found will also be reviewed for possible disposal and/or acquisition. These objects will be advertised in The Indianapolis Star in accordance with the State of Indiana's legislation governing abandoned cultural property in an effort to find the original owners and/or to gain clear title. After the required waiting period, all abandoned cultural property will either be accessioned or disposed of.
Each work of art identified as a deaccession candidate will be deaccessioned according to the Deaccession Policy in a timely manner. The income generated through the auction of deaccessioned works of art will be reapplied towards the purchase of new works of art in each respective curatorial area.
These efforts will allow the Museum to exchange select objects for others believed by today's curatorial leadership to be better aligned with its mission. Please see below for a searchable list of deaccessioned artwork recently sold, transferred or exchanged, and corresponding sale results when applicable, as well as deaccessioned works awaiting sale, transfer, or exchange and their assigned valuations. We have also begun to link deaccessioned artworks to artworks newly acquired by means of the relevant funds.

Please don't take this as me jumping down any of you guys throat. I think it's a good discussion to have. In my head it makes since to have a hard cap, or harsh penalty since we do try to stick to NBA rules when we can. I also think it just makes the league more interesting and balanced. I'm trying to understand the other point of view that NO penalty is better, but I can't wrap my head around it.
But, lets not let the discussion turn into more than what it is. A discussion with differing opinions.

RIP Craigos. A true CW legend. You will be missed.
Didn't they tour there less than a year ago? itstl.
The one, the only CW Black
Code:47.3 W Coppinger to Heads Smacked the ball straight into the groin of Iwuajoku who has fallen over, miraculously with the ball still caught in his scrotal area! Out!
First recorded incidence of anyone from The Wirral being described as "haughty". GIMH's clearly being hanging around with us southern snobs for too long; he'll be getting out of the shower to take a piss next.
Anyway, as DCYE suggests, an interesting call. I'd guess it's a player-lead pull-out as the SA board seems to have invariably supported the Asian bloc of late.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"The PFA does not represent players when they have broken the law and been convicted on non-football matters."
- Gordon Taylor in 2009 following Marlon King's release after a prison sentence for sexual assault & ABH
I think if all the non-asian countries pull out, the asian bloc might as well conduct a 20-20 Asia cup.
Funny how some people argue, 'If they could play Ashes despite bombs in London, if they could play IPL despite the Bomb blasts in jaipur, they ought to play in Pakistan too'
In the former it was national pride with a bit of personal glory plus money, in the latter, it's pure bloody filthy money. Sadly Champions trophy offers nothing in that scale. Can't really blame players for lacking motivation.
I can't understand why the media has decided to report South Africa's decision to withdraw on security grounds as a 'boycott'. Completely misleading. There's no moral principle involved, just a rational decision based on whether it is safe to go or not. If I was invited to go for a weekend break in Baghdad right now, I would say no - but I wouldn't be boycotting the place...
Would rather see SA playing than Pakistan tbh.
Sreesanth said, "Next ball he was beaten and I said, 'is this the King Charles Lara? Who is this impostor, moving around nervously? I should have kept my mouth shut for the next ball - mind you, it was a length ball - Lara just pulled it over the church beyond the boundary! He is a true legend."
If Shoaib plays, I'd rather see Pakistan
with all the unfortunate bomb balst happening in india i think australia will not be touring india as well
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
RIP Craigos
Some might argue that the mere useless existence of the Champions Trophy a principle is worth boycotting

Gender Reveal Ideas – It's A Boy! For SURE!
Every once in awhile we get a request for custom ice cream that makes even our cheeks blush. A customer called and asked if we could have some custom labels ready for pick-up one evening. We said, "No problem! What would you like the labels to say?" She explained that she would be using eCreamery custom Ice Cream as part of her Gender Reveal Party that evening and proceeded to list a couple adorable, "It's A Boy" names.
The names were:
Snips & snails & puppy dog tails, that's what little boys are made of.
Bouncing Baby Boy Smith
Daddy Mike's Sidekick!
*real first and last name was changed.
She then asked if we had ever put ultrasound pictures on our ice cream labels. We had not but we wanted to give it a try. I have always heard that they distinguish the gender by examining internal body parts so I wondered what exactly she was going to email me.
For her 4th pint label we added an ultrasound picture.
Thanks for revealing to us that there are always new things to say with eCreamery Customized Ice Cream Gifts.
