CHESTER, Pa. – Landon Donovan earned one goal and two assists in his 200th regular season game with the LA Galaxy.
Only three other players have attained this mark as Donovan joins Cobi Jones (306 games), Kevin Hartman (243 games) and Mauricio Cienfuegos (206 games) as having played at least 200 games for LA. The LA Galaxy forward is already the club's all-time leading goal scorer in the regular season with 83 goals.
Donovan will certainly bypass Cienfuegos later this year, but will likely need another year in a Galaxy uniform to catch Hartman for second place.
CHESTER, Pa. – Bruce Arena's postgame comments following the LA Galaxy's 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday.
The victory snapped LA's two game losing skid and gave LA their second victory on the road this season. LA ends their three game road trip on Sunday against the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena.
Arena's comments are below…
(On the game…)
ARENA: "We were a little better tonight, not great. We were unbelievably sloppy in the first half and some sloppy times in the second half, obviously some good goals. We had a little bit better performance, some better concentration in the second 45 minutes and we will take the three points but we certainly realize we have to get this team better."
(On Landon getting back into form…)
ARENA: "My suspicion is he (Landon Donovan) is a very good player and so it's just a matter of time where he is going to get his touch back, his confidence, and his fitness on a more consistent basis. We'd like to believe that that is going to start now. His second half was real good, he got a little tired in the first half which is natural in these second games but I thought his second half was spectacular."
(On Donovan's second half…)
ARENA: "His second half was really good. I thought he got a little tired in the first half which is natural in these second games and I thought his second half was spectacular."
On having Robbie Keane back
ARENA: "Robbie (Keane) is a great player, what else can you say. He makes us look real good, he was pretty good tonight. I was surprised he got through 90 minutes, I thought we were going to have to take him out around 75 minutes, but we had to keep him on the field and he did a good job towards the end."
(On whether the team pulled Todd Dunivant out due to fatigue as well…)
ARENA: "He was dead. His legs were shot and you can get away with one of your strikers being a little tired, but your back line has to be a little bit more solid so I thought the change was good. He did fine, it's going to take some games to get him back as well."
(On what this win will do to carry them into New York …)
ARENA: Hopefully good energy but we will find out Sunday. It's good to get the win, but we have a long task ahead of us. We have to get our legs back, make sure the players recover the right way, and hopefully step on the field and give the Red Bulls a good game on Sunday.
(On the team's depth with Charlie Rugg and Gyasi Zardes playing major minutes…)
ARENA: "Well, they haven't played major minutes. They've played a little bit. The minutes on those two don't add up two probably don't add up a 120 minutes yet. They're players with a lot of potential and we feel about them and we have to find the right ways to move them along so they can be productive for us."
The LA Galaxy are heading back to North Carolina for the U.S. Open Cup.
The two-time USOC champions will travel to North Carolina face either NASL side Carolina Railhawks or PDL club Carolina Dynamo on May 29. The two teams face off at the Railhawks' home pitch of WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C. on May 21.
If the Railhawks defeat the Dynamo, the match will take place at WakeMed, but should the Dynamo advance, the match will take place at Macpherson Stadium in Greensboro, N.C. The Railhawks eliminated the Galaxy from the tournament last year with a 2-1 third round victory in Cary.
The U.S. Open Cup match will take place in between LA's clash against Seattle Sounders FC on May 26 at The Home Depot Center and their June 2 match against the New England Revolution.
What do you expect from
LAGalaxy.com's Paolo Ferrari caught up with Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane, Mike Magee, and Todd Dunivant to preview tonight's clash against the Philadelphia Union.
Watch the video below...
Vancouver Whitecaps FC center back Johnny Leverón has been suspended for one game by the MLS Disciplinary Committee for his foul on Jose Villarreal in the third minute of the LA Galaxy's 3-1 loss to the Whitecaps.
The Honduran defender was awarded a yellow card for the foul by Sorin StoicaLeverón will serve his suspension for Vancouver's match against the Portland Timbers on May 18.
The suspension was only one of the MLS Disciplinary Committee's five rulings on Wednesday, which included one game suspensions for Chivas USA's Mario De Luna, Colorado Rapids forward Edson Buddle, Real Salt Lake defender Kwame Watson-Siriboe and a reduced suspension for San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Marvin Chavez, who saw his two game suspension reduced by a game.
Watch the Leverón's foul below...
Landon Donovan spoke with Joe Tutino in the latest edition of the Galaxy All-Access Podcast.
Joe Tutino spoke to Donovan about a number of topics including his 200th game in a Galaxy uniform as well as a number of topics. But the answer that may draw the most looks is Tutino's question to Donovan about the SI.com report that he'll be left off the U.S. National Team squad for their June matches, which include three World Cup Qualifiers.
"Well, Jurgen and I have consistently spoken over many months now. I was not aware that was information that was already made public. Jurgen has not told me that it was definitive."
Tutino then wondered if the report could be incorrect."
"You never know...all I can do is I've said all along is do what I do. If I'm looking at it objectively, do I think I can help the team]? Yes, absolutely. Do I think that I've really earned my way back in yet? Probably not. That's a sort of six in one, half dozen in another," Donovan added. "But I really do believe that if I get called in that I can help the team, even if I'm not playing, I can help the team. I think that my experience having been through this three times could be very beneficial, but if I'm not in then it is what it is and I'll get my way back in.
Listen to the full podcast below…
CHESTER, Pa. – Robbie Keane has targeted Wednesday's match against the Philadelphia Union to make his return from a three match injury layoff and it seems like he'll be on the field as the LA Galaxy look to end a two game losing skid.
Keane returned to training late last week after dealing with an ankle injury, but did not travel when LA dropped their second straight match in a 3-1 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The Irish forward rejoined the Galaxy on Sunday and trained with the club during each of their sessions in Philadelphia.
"I've been out for a few weeks and it's nice to be back," Keane told reporters at PPL Park on Tuesday. "I'm not going to be match fit, you know, because I missed three or four weeks. But I've done a lot of fitness with the trainers so I feel good and feel ready to go. It's been a frustrating few weeks for me, but I'm back now."
And according to Keane's teammate Landon Donovan, he seems poised to lift the Galaxy's attack against the Union.
"He looks sharp, he looks good, he'll add a dimension to our attack," said Landon Donovan. "Whether Robbie is playing our not, we have to be back and our group is going to be better."
CHESTER, Pa. —Todd Dunivant has missed the past three matches with a left leg strain, but the LA Galaxy left back is expecting to be available for selection for Wednesday's match against the Philadelphia Union.
Rookie Greg Cochrane has filled in for the veteran left back, but he was among those who struggled in LA's 3-1 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps FC last Saturday. If Dunivant does take the field on Wednesday, it would be his first appearance since his strain first occurred during the Galaxy's 2-0 win over Sporting Kansas City on April 20.
"I'm feeling good. I'm ready to go and ready to be available," Dunivant told LAGalaxy.com. "We've had two losses in a row and we want to right the ship a little bit and it's an important game because we have a three game road stand and we didn't start off very well so it's an important game to come back on."
Dunivant's veteran presence could be immense for a Galaxy back line that has struggled at times in recent matches, directly leading to goals for the opposition. The Galaxy can ill afford such lapses on Wednesday against a Union side that boasts current MLS leading goal scorer Jack McInerney and veteran forward Conor Casey.
"Defensively, we've played pretty well, but we've broken down at critical moments and that's something that we did too much last year," Dunivant added. "It's the sign of a team that may be a little too lax and we need to keep being mentally strong for 90 minutes and making sure that throughout the entire game we're clued in."
CHESTER, Pa. - Landon Donovan understands that if he's going to earn his way back on the U.S. National Team, first and foremost, he'll have to improve his form with the LA Galaxy.
A report by Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl released on Tuesday states that Donovan will not be called up by U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann for their next month's World Cup Qualifiers and friendlies. The report goes on to state that the door is still open for Donovan to earn the call for the 2013 Gold Cup, which begins in July.
In five games played this season, Donovan has scored one goal and one assists. Following Galaxy training at PPL Park in preparation for Wednesday's match against the Philadelphia Union, Donovan spoke about the speculation with the U.S. squad.
"Any player that has a chance to play for the national team is always thinking about it, but the reality for me is to get back there, I have to play well for the Galaxy," said Donovan. "So I can think about it and dream about it all I want, but the reality is that I have to play well here and then eventually maybe I'll get my chance again. I'm hopeful, but I can only control what I can control and I'm going to do my best to get called up."
In the latest edition of View from the Booth, I fill in for Cobi Jones (big shoes to fill, I know) and analyze the LA Galaxy's match against the Philadelphia Union with Joe Tutino.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Very Classy
My wedding invitations just came in a couple days ago. They are absolutely beautiful. The colors are exactly as they show online. The quality of the paper and printing is magnificent. The processing time is exactly what they tell you, usually a week. The one thing I was disappointed with was them not sending me a tracking # (via email) once my order shipped like they said they would. However, my order still came in on time. I had my sister order my bridal shower invitations from Magnet Street as well and I can't wait to see how they look. I would definitely recommend Magnet Street for anyone who is looking for simple yet classy invitations for any special occasion.
We used Premium Smooth paper, a fold-over type of invite, with a pocket inside, and it held two big cards--we used both sides.
We used Premium Smooth paper, a fold-over type of invite, with a pocket inside, and it held two big cards--we used both sides, to let guests know accommodations available, how to get to our town, what the events planned were, and how to reply to the invite. I truly appreciated the representative talking to me on the phone first, then emailing every day after to get the correct spellings, punctuation, and using the coupon was a real added bonus. As well, she advised me how to save $50 by having the invites mailed to North Dakota rather than Manitoba, Canada, where I live! We used this same company for the Save The Date magnets, and everyone we sent them to, commented on how original they are! We used a photo of us at the Grand Canyon on the magnet, and inside the wedding invite, we used a photo of us sitting in a heart shaped rock at Valley of Fire in Nevada. People rave about our pictures there. I found this company by Googling and they will get my vote every time! I will recommend this company to anyone. Also liked the speediness of the order being done. Another thing I liked was the fancy initial on the fold over part on the front. It was fun finding two quotes to be used-one for the back and one on the inside at the top, just above the ceremony details. Our invite is very unique, to be sure!
Amazing wedding invitations
I was so pleased with the way the card and the stickers I brought were done. I previously ordered cards from a different company and returned it. I ran across the magnetstreet website and saw these folder invitations that I fell in love with and after seeing then completed and finished and in my hands I fell more in love! Thanks magnetstreet for making a huge difference in my wedding.
Forever Yours Invitations
We ordered the Forever Yours Invitations, along with 2 inserts - one for directions and one for a response card. I love the fact that the back of the invitation also can have information, so it is a bit cleaner and doesn't have as many inserts. It came in the estimated time frame, and was nicely packaged. The ONLY complaint is that the flap does not have a little slit to tuck into like we originally thought. Not a big deal though, we assumed it would because a different invitation we had gotten as a sample had one. We still wouldn't change our invitations and are very happy! The customizing ability is really what made us order from MagnetStreet. We will definitely order from here again for our menu cards and ceremony programs.
Better than expected
I was hoping to save a bit of money ordering online, but I think I ended up spending about the same amount (small guest #'s so not a lot of bulk in my order). I had ordered samples prior to placing my order but changed the design I ended up with in the end. I love the colours and font choices. I absolutely love the pearl paper, makes it look a bit fancier I think. Unfortunately the colour is worn/ missing from the edges of some pieces, looks like that's where the paper was cut. I ordered these ones specifically so that I could add my own embellishments to match my wedding theme.

Update: Milliken Lake Area is closed as of Monday, 6/9/14. No fishing or picnicking allowed for the rest of the 2014 season. Milliken Lake had a total fish kill this winter and is being restocked and the picnic shelter is going have a new roof installed. At this time we are not sure when the area will reopen.
tranquil setting, flowing rivers and natural prairie land - the Des
Plaines Fish and Wildlife Area has it all! Visitors will delight in
the abundance of wildlife, restful picnic areas and variety of sportfishing
species. Farmland and woodland, prairie and swamp, still water and shoreline
offer unlimited opportunities for nature lovers and sportsmen.
Prior to 1948 what is now
called the Des Plaines Fish and Wildlife Area was owned by the federal
government. The Illinois Department of Conservation acquired the site
in 1948 and established its use as a recreation area. Additional land
was accessed following the completion of Interstate 55 in the 1960s.
From that time to 1975, the area was used primarily by hunters and unmanaged
day use. The Division of Land Management took over the area in 1976 and
extensive facility upgrades occurred. In recent
years, more than 350,000 people visit annually Des Plaines - an area
of more than 5,000 acres, including approximately 200 acres of water.
A restful break from hunting,
fishing or hiking can be a special event. Picnickers can choose to lunch
along the Kankakee River or under the large shelter on the banks of Milliken
Lake. Both sites provide tables, stoves and water along with cooling shade
trees and picturesque views. A playground area is present at
Milliken Lake.
Open water and ice fishing are popular events and productive! Milliken Lake, as well as several ponds and the river backwaters, provide panfish, catfish, and bass fishing. Milliken Lake is stocked with catchable trout in the spring. The Kankakee River borders the site on the south with 3 miles of shoreline providing access to boating enthusiasts and excellent walleye and northern pike fishing.
Designated camping areas are available for those wishing to stay overnight at the site. These are Class C (vehicular access, no showers) areas with graveled pads, water and pit toilets. The campground is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, from mid-April (weather permitting) to mid-October, closed the rest of the year.
A public boat launch with three paved ramps is available on the Kankakee River for boating on the river or its backwaters. Motors are limited to 10 horsepower or less on the backwaters, but no limits exist on the Kankakee River. No boating is allowed on Milliken Lake. Boat ramps are closed seasonally from the end of October for pheasant hunting season thru mid April (weather depending).
Equestrian Trail
A 12 mile trail is open
from mid April thru October, weather permitting, from
6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
hunting is the most popular choice for sportsmen at Des Plaines, and
largest pheasant hunting (by permit only) facility in the state is located
at the site. For variety the site also offers
rabbit, dove and coyote hunting. All hunters are required to have permits and
check in at the site office. Waterfowl hunting is available at the
County Waterfowl Management Area, with hunting blinds allocated
via drawings.
acres of the Des Plaines SFWA are dedicated as a
nature preserve which contains many remnants of theIllinois' natural prairie. The preserve is managed to protect and perpetuate this
prairie heritage for future generations. Visitors are encouraged to view
this area, but are reminded that all plants and animals here are protected
and are not to be disturbed in any way.
Trap Range
hand trap ranges and an archery range are open to the public
daily except
during pheasant hunting season. Sportsmen are welcome to practice
and hone their skills so they will be ready to go on opening
In addition
to the two hand trap and archery ranges, Des Plaines
hosts three
wingshooting clinics and two Hunter Safety Classes annually.
Wwingshooting clinics are held on the first weekend
June; the Hunters Safety Classes are available in June and
The Des
Plaines Fish and Wildlife Area is well known for numerous field trials
and dog training events held throughout the year. The plentiful open areas,
swampy backwater areas and woodlands provide a perfect spot for all types
of training. Whether you are training your animal or just being a spectator,
these events can be a great way to spend a day or weekend outdoors.
Disabled Access
The following programs have disabled accessibility: hunting, fishing, camping, and picnicking.
Local Attractions
To enhance your trip to the area,
Located ten miles south of Joliet and 55 miles southwest of Chicago in Will County, the site is accessible from Interstate 55 at mile marker No. 241, Wilmington exit.

HAMPSTEAD — While it had three ties in the East Central 2-A Conference, Topsail had not lost a league match — until its regular-season finale Wednesday against Swansboro.
Turning in one of its better matches of the season and snapping a four-game losing skid in which it had scored just one goal, Swansboro defeated the Pirates 2-1 to clinch third place in the
The playoff pairings will be announced Monday by the NCHSAA.
"Big win for the boys. They played well," coach Doug Kidd said, adding that while his Pirates had lost four games they had not been "playing terrible. We've been competing well and working hard. So it's great to see the hard work pay off and we find a way to get a result and put away a couple of goals."
Topsail (11-6-4, 8-1-3) led 1-0 at halftime on a goal by Devon Esteves, but Swansboro tied it on a goal by Austin Shedd and got the go-ahead goal by Dalton Miller later to finish the regular season 11-8-2 and 7-4-1.
Had Swansboro lost, Richlands, with its 5-1 win over Croatan, would have climbed into third while dropping the Pirates to fourth. Either way, however, both Swansboro and Richlands will be on the road for their first-round playoff game.
"We couldn't move past third place, but we knew that we could drop into fourth place, and we really wanted to improve on that try to finish as high as we could. In comparison to last year, we finished two spots ahead (of last year's fifth-place finish)," he said. "So a good amount of improvement."
Kidd said the effort "ranked up there" among the better ones this season.
"We've played a lot of good games," he said. "But I think it's just a more complete game for us. We minimized our mistakes, and I think that's crucial for us because we were making some in the previous four games."

Indianapolis, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - Chip Ganassi Racing drivers Tony Kanaan and Scott Dixon led the way in Friday's final practice session for the Indianapolis 500.
Known as Carb Day, this one-hour practice session was the last opportunity for teams to prepare for Sunday's 500-mile race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Kanaan, the defending Indy 500 champion, posted the quickest lap at 227.838 mph. The Brazilian made a total of 46 laps during the session. He is in his first year as driver of the No. 10 car for Ganassi.
"It feels good to be up there today, but that's not what it's all about," Kanaan said. "Last year, I was already happy with the car I got, but I think we've got a better car. But the field is definitely more competitive this year."
Kanaan won the Indy 500 for the first time in his 12th attempt in 2013. He drove for KV Racing Technology at the time.
If Kanaan takes the checkered flag on Sunday, he would become the first driver to win this race in consecutive years since Helio Castroneves did it from 2001-02.
Dixon, a three-time IndyCar Series champion as well as the 2008 Indy 500 winner, was second quickest in practice. He made a total of 50 laps, with his best one clocked at 227.773 mph.
Kanaan will start the Indy 500 from the inside of row 6, while Dixon will roll off from the middle of row 4.
Townsend Bell, driving an entry for KV Racing Technology, was third on the charts, followed by Castroneves, a three-time winner of the Indy 500, and rookie Mikhail Aleshin.
Ryan Hunter-Reay, Marco Andretti, Alex Tagliani, Juan Pablo Montoya and Josef Newgarden were sixth through 10th, respectively.
Kurt Busch, who is attempting to become the first driver to compete in both the Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on the same day, was 15th fastest.
It was the first time Busch was on the track at Indy since he crashed hard into the wall during Monday's practice here. He is driving Marco Andretti's backup car since his primary No. 26 vehicle could not be repaired in time for the event. Busch completed 53 laps, with his best one at 224.684 mph.
"I was a bit anxious to get back in the car and see how I was going to feel," Busch said. "There's a lot to be said about guys when they hit the wall. They lose their confidence a little bit. I didn't lose my confidence. I just needed to make sure that I didn't overadjust the car when I got back in traffic."
Busch will start the Indy 500 on the outside of row 4.
On Thursday night, Busch qualified 28th for Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, which is scheduled to start shortly after 6 p.m. ET. The waving of the green flag for the start of the Indy 500 is expected at 12:12 p.m. ET.

Actress, Mayim Bialik, has teamed up with Cruelty Free International to campaign for a United States ban on animal tests for cosmetics. The images can be viewed here.
Mayim Bialik stated: 'It is very important to me to speak out on behalf of animals who cannot protest their suffering and ask the compassionate people of the United States to join me, and Cruelty Free International, to call on the U.S Government to end the outdated use of animals for cosmetics testing once and for all. It doesn't take a genius to know that using animals for these cruel and unnecessary tests is unjustifiable. '
The introduction of the Humane Cosmetics Act on 5th March by U.S. Representative Jim Moran (D-VA), follows extensive campaigning in the US by Cruelty Free International and precedes a Congressional briefing "Global regulations and advancements in alternatives to animal testing for cosmetics," hosted by Cruelty Free International in cooperation with Congressman Moran to be held on Tuesday, March 11, 2014.
Cruelty Free International, CEO, Michelle Thew, said: 'We are delighted that Mayim has joined us to speak out for the thousands of animals who continue to suffer in cosmetics tests here in the U.S. With the introduction of the Humane Cosmetics Act, we are hopeful that it won't be long before animal cosmetics testing here in the U.S is consigned to history.'
Mayim, who plays Amy Farrah Fowler on the hit show 'The Big Bang Theory', joins Norman Reedus, Peter Dinklage and Ashley Bell to put the issue of cosmetics testing on animals at the forefront for consumers and policy makers around the world.
Cruelty Free International is calling on Americans to lend their support to the campaign by signing our petition and by asking their legislator to co-sponsor the Bill.
Cruelty Free International, established by the BUAV in 2012, is the leading global organization solely dedicated to ending the use of animals to test cosmetics and consumer products throughout the world. We work with governments, regulators, companies and partner organisations worldwide to achieve effective long-lasting change for animals.

LMAO... This kid doesn't even watch the games. All he cares about is that its Kobe's fault. What is funny is that Kobe/Shaq both averaged nearly 25 shots a game. As for Kobe/Bynum um Drew only became a force the last 2 years of his time here. As for Kobe/Pau that is all on Pau who choses not to be aggressive. Yes, Kobe is obviously the problem. Thanks to Odom1year for opening our eyes
All I care about is lakers winning chance. Taking lots of shots with 30 FG% and committing team high turnovers, not his faults ? Saying Pau/D12 not aggressive is a joke. Did you know they complained not getting enough touches through Media ?

Motor vehicle collisions are responsible for more work-related fatalities and also represent the highest worker'scompensation claims of all measured causes. NHTSA, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, estimates that driver error is a factor in 95% of serious crashes so it makes sense to support employee training focused on safe driving skills and collision avoidance techniques. Helping employees become safer, defensive drivers saves lives and money.
Motor vehicle collisions kill about 33,000 people a year in the United States and cost over $260 billion dollars in lost wages, worker absenteeism, property damages, etc. For employers this means that 11% of all employees will be involved in a crash each year-- many will be injured, some fatally. NHTSA estimates that motor vehicle collisions cost companies $350 dollars per employee per year—a huge premium!
Over 750 companies, government agencies and other organizations depend on SafetyServe.com to train their employees effectively and efficiently in safe driving skills. SafetyServe.com has been providing the National Safety Council's Defensive Driving Course online version since 2000.

Cleveland County has seen multiple shootings in recent weeks.
A store clerk was killed in a smoke shop shooting between Kings Mountain and Shelby in June.
Also in June, a deputy shot a man at a traffic stop in Shelby.
This month, a woman was shot and killed in a Shelby apartment complex long known for crime.
Despite those recent incidents, county authorities report fewer total shootings in the first half of 2013 than in the first half of 2012.
Here's a lookback at the year so far and what police say has made the difference in the number of shootings.
-January – June 2013: Four shooting incidents
-One involved two teenagers.
-January - June 2012: 15 shooting victims
-Those included two homicides and one incident with a BB gun.
-Over the past year, shootings have decreased by 73 percent.
What's changed in Shelby?
"Last spring, we had a period where we had several houses that were shot into, groups that were going back and forth," said Shelby Police Chief Jeff Ledford. "When we saw that uptick, that's when we started getting outside the box. We got together and said here's the problems we're seeing, how do we work together to fix them?"
Ledford said after that, the police department started the Partnership for Change movement, a partnership between faith-based organizations and law enforcement in the area. The partnership works in various neighborhoods to hold walk-throughs and community events every few months.
"I believe it has made a difference," he said.
Ledford said events for teens at churches and events like Midnight Basketball at Shelby City Park on Fridays also help keep kids from being involved in crime.
"It's important that we keep our kids busy and give them something productive to do," he said. "That keeps them from going out and finding things on their own. A lot of times we focus on finding things for young people to do to keep them out of trouble, but it's also to keep them from being victimized. We look at that from prevention on both sides."
Kings Mountain
-January – June 2013: Two shooting incidents
-Neither was a homicide. One started as a domestic violence incident at a club and another was on Alpine Drive.
-January – June 2012: One shooting incident
-That incident was a homicide, the death of Joseph Moses on Walnut Street.
What's changed in Kings Mountain?
"As far as our crime rate, for the past eight years now we have been significantly below our crime rate peak of 2002, and well below our crime rate in 1993, which was 20 years ago," said Kings Mountain Police Chief Melvin Proctor. "This crime pattern is a solid base of numbers of a true picture of crime being low in Kings Mountain. We have accomplished this while annexation has occurred. This is a success because of partnerships with the community and business leaders, along with a lot of hard work by all the employees of the police department, along with combining our efforts with the resources from other departments within the city."
Cleveland County
- January – June 2013: Four shootings, three cleared by arrest.
- One of those is the homicide at Smoker's Etc., which is still an open case.
- January – June 2012: Five shootings, four cleared by arrest or unprosecuted.
- That includes one homicide that was cleared by arrest.
What's changed in the county?
"One shooting is one too many," said Cleveland County Sheriff Alan Norman. "The intent and the opportunity is just something that we as a law enforcement agency cannot take away. If an individual wants to do bodily harm to another individual, whether it be by a firearm or other means, even if you have a law enforcement officer on every two blocks or every mile, you can't take away the human intent. If we have a deputy sheriff that's just recently went down a road, that patrol car going by is a deterrent. But if that mindset of doing bodily harm to another individual is already instilled in that person's mind, and they have the intent and the means to carry that out, then they're just waiting on the time and the opportunity to do that."
The sheriff said the county has been blessed considering the number of citizens it has and that the county's crime rate is fairly low.
Norman attributes the low rate to active law enforcement in patrol areas, high visibility, reduced response time, placing the sheriff's office's critical incident team in higher crime areas, the re-establishment of Community Watch and customer friendliness.
"The perfect world is to have zero assaults, period," Norman said. "Our goal at the sheriff's office is to make it zero assaults. And that goal is obtainable in a perfect world, but unfortunately we don't live in that perfect world. But it's my job and responsibility to make sure that we continue to strive to make the county as safe as possible."

About REAL ID
- Congress passed the REAL ID Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-13, 119 Stat. 231) in an effort to strengthen the security, authentication and issuance standards for state driver licenses and ID cards.
What it means for you
- At some point within the next five years, it is expected that federal agencies will only accept for official federal purposes* a driver license or ID issued in compliance with the REAL ID Act.
- To assure that Wisconsin driver license and ID holders can continue to use their licenses and IDs for federal official purposes.
*Federal official purposes are defined as:
- boarding federally regulated commercial aircraft
- accessing federal facilities that require identification to enter
- entering nuclear power plants
You decide whether or not you need one – Wisconsin offers a choice
- Wisconsin is issuing both REAL ID-compliant and non-compliant driver licenses and ID cards.
- The cards will look similar.
- The cost for either card is the same.
Which should you choose?
- At some point within the next five years, it is expected that federal agencies will only accept for official federal purposes* a driver license or ID issued in compliance with the REAL ID Act, so that decision is based on whether you plan to use your driver license or ID card as identification for federal official purposes (see above).
- If you have a valid U.S. passport or another acceptable form of federal identification, you can use that for identification, rather than a REAL ID-compliant driver license or ID card. A list of Transportation Safety Administration approved documents is available at: www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/acceptable-ids.
- If you do not apply for a REAL ID-compliant card and change your mind, you can still apply for one at a later time.
There is no reason to rush out to get a REAL ID-compliant card
The law is being phased in over several years. Most people will be able to wait until their driver license or ID card is up for renewal before applying for a REAL ID-compliant card.
Wisconsin REAL ID-compliant and non-compliant driver licenses and ID cards will look similar
- They will be made of the same materials; offer the same security features designed to prevent tampering, counterfeiting or duplication; contain the same information; and have the same general appearance.
- The only significant difference is a star verification mark on the front of the card in the upper, right-hand corner of the REAL ID-compliant card.

Whenever I have encountered any ethical proposition I find that atheist and a theist view it differnetly. I am not sure whether this is same issue of ought vs is.
To me as an enquirer after truth I parapharse the Sagan Feynman staement as : I want questions that need answers and not answers that disallow any questions.
Consider the statement "Thou shall not lie" , Is this a proposition whose truth value has to be determined or is the TRUTH. In the first case I can raise questions and then try to answer them. Within these questions may lie how science may attempt to create process of determing the truth, In second case there is no question. All is told. It to be Ought. Hence no questions so no answers mere blind following.

On May 25, 2011 NASA finally pulled the plug on one of the world's greatest Mars explorers, the rover Spirit. The six-wheeled robot landed on Jan. 3, 2004 on the Red Planet and was expected to last about three months so NASA definitely got its money worth out of the little guy.
Here's a quick tour of some of the biggest discoveries and accomplishments made by Spirit. Here's one of the first looks sent back to Earth by Spirit a day after it landed. Note its air bags in this image.
Credit: NASA
One of the more interesting phenomenoms encountered on Mars by Spirit is the existance of mini dust storms called "dust devils." Here's a movie of one captured in 2007.
The "Home Plate" area investigated by Spirit showed evidence of volcanos as it showed coarse grains that were likely spread by an explosion falling on top of finer material in this enhanced image.
Bedrock shown in this 2004 image shows a complex geological history. Some of them show signs of water erosion.
n 2005, Spirit revealed this image of an area that contained sulfur and possibly a trace of water. It's most likely a volcanic deposit formed around gas vents.
A few months after it landed, Spirit's left front tire began showing a problem by using much more energy than the others. Here, JPL engineers Eric Aguilar, left, and Joe Melko work in a sandbox to find a way around the problem. The wheel eventually died in 2006 but NASA scientists were able to keep it rolling on five wheels by driving it backwards and devising easier ways to turn.
On a positive note, the dead wheel dug up Martian soil which enabled Spirit's most impressive discovery - a patch of nearly pure silica. This was most likely caused by hot springs or steam vents.
Spirit contained a rock abrasion tool and was able to drill into 15 different rock samples and analyze them.
Five years after this image was taken by Spirit in 2005, NASA scientists concluded that this area showed a past that was wet and non-acidic and could potentially sustain life as we know it. The rocks were identified as magnesium iron carbonate with a 10x higher concentration of carbonate that ever seen on Mars. NASA say "Carbonates originate in wet, near-neutral conditions, but dissolve in acid."
A look at Husband Hill, the 269-foot peak climbed by Spirit.
The view from the top of Husband Hill.
More rock exposures. Spirit took these images while leaning at a 27-degree angle. NASA describes: "(A) The northern edge of Home Plate, (B) the coarse-grained lower unit, (C) the fine-grained upper unit."
This 2006 view of Spirit was taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbtier shows the robot at work in the region it explored.
Here's an artist's conception of what Spirit would look like on Mars.
And here's a resume compiled by NASA of Spirit's accomplishments.
Just after landing the camera perched on Spirit's mast took this picture of it from above.
While unpacking itself on the Martian surface, Spirit took a closeup of one of its wheels.
Here's one of the last photos taken by Spirit in 2010 as it was about to endure its fourth Martian winter. You can see it's stuck and NASA scientists were unable to move its solar panels directly toward the sun to sufficiently recharge the batteries.

Hakeem, Magic, Michael, Bill, Larry, Shaq, Tim, KG and so on. Kobe has outlasted them. He's played more minutes in the season and playoffs. He's been asked to be the main facilitator, scorer, and defender on his teams, unlike them because of roster ineptitude.
His peers at his position a decade ago were AI, T-Mac, Vince, Ray, Rip, Manu, and later on Wade yet most are out the league or greatly reduced role guys. Kobe however has had the longest prime of any wing player in history
Kobes longevity even if he retired tomorrow can only compare to Malone and Kareem, because statistically no perimeter player has ever had such an extended prime, some have had higher peaks, but not been 25-5-5 for a decade without their minutes protected or responsibilities greatly reduced. Fact is he's truly special, a pride to have in a Laker uni, whether you like him or not personally because you know he gives his all to the job even in the offseason and always has.
Kobe is like the Energizer bunny of NBA superstars, and yeah the only other guys that compare are Kareem and Malone.

LOS ANGELES -- Gerald Wallace is rapidly becoming a cult hero amongst Nets fans, and here's a cool example of why.
With the game on the line Tuesday night and Kobe Bryant at the charity stripe, Wallace began jawing with the Laker great.
What was Wallace talking about?
"I was trying to get him to close his eyes to shoot."
Now remember, Michael Jordan is famous for hitting a free throw with his eyes closed, and we all know how much Bryant wants to be like Mike. So maybe there was a chance Bryant would play along.
Turns out he would've – for a steep price.
"I had to make a big bet," Wallace said. "So I told him just shoot the free throws."
There's no telling what this "big bet" involved, whether it was thousands of dollars, millions, maybe even a car. But Wallace was obviously willing to pay up if it scared him off.

BDG wrote:Thank you Cachooka.
In order of Kobe's phrases, I can make out ...
"I'm 90 percent ... (???)"
"I might make these b****" (I think that's what he says here)
"How much you put on it?" (referencing the bet)
"How much you put?"
"You put 5 grand."
Then he says one more short phrase, and shake his head at Wallace, laughing at him. I'm positive of everything here -- pretty apparent if you can read his lips.
He wasn't saying 500 grand like some people are saying -- he said 5 if you watch that clip ... realistic bet for those two guys to make given their salaries.
Three men, one play, a glimpse at major potential
By Dave McMenamin
To hear Kobe Bryant break down the most important play in the Los Angeles Lakers' 95-90 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday was akin to hearing a forensic detective combing his way through a crime scene and describing how each bit of evidence fit together to illustrate what went down.
First, some context. The Lakers led by three heading into the fourth quarter and then went horridly cold, starting off the final period by going nearly eight minutes without a field goal and seeing their three-point lead turn into a six-point deficit thanks to missed shots, turnovers and poor free throw shooting.
Metta World Peace finally made the take-the-lid-off-the-rim basket -- a 3-pointer from the left corner -- to cut Brooklyn's lead to two points with 4:39 remaining.
And that set up the play that changed the game.
"It's kind of a domino effect," Bryant said. "To start the game, they went to a drop defense and I stepped up and had 11 points in the first quarter just from pulling up and shooting. After that, they had to change their coverage a little bit and went more to showing up a little higher on the screen-roll and I was able to hit Pau and he hit jump shots. So now, they have to pre-rotate and now I hit Pau and now Pau's hitting Dwight slipping to the rim or hitting Metta in the corner for a 3.
"So it's kind of a domino effect."
Bryant drove right past Gerald Wallace, but was forced to pick up his dribble when Brook Lopez stepped up to cut him off just below the foul line.
In true Bryant form, he already left his feet when Lopez collapsed on him, but was able to turn around in midair and pass it out to Pau Gasol who came to the ball to catch it at the top of the key. (Sidenote: Bryant leaving his feet before he passes is easily the most frustrating part of his game to see over and over again. For being as fundamentally strong as he is, he chooses to break this cardinal rule of basketball way too much.)
Bryant then came back out to the wing to get it back from Gasol and positioned his body in a way -- shoulders square to the rim with his feet spread apart enough to give him a good base -- that Wallace and Lopez both closed out on him, thinking he was going to shoot. Rather than shoot it, Bryant flipped a pass over Wallace's head to Gasol who was cutting towards the free throw line.
When Kris Humphries saw Gasol coming down the lane with the ball in his hands, he left Dwight Howard who he was checking on the baseline to cut off the Spaniard.
Then Gasol, seeing that Howard was as open as the day is long, immediately threw a lob pass that Howard caught and threw down for an alley-oop dunk.
That made it a tied game, 86-86, with 3:05 remaining. The Lakers made the dominoes fall and never looked back.
"It was a good, good play," Gasol said. "Kind of a double drag and then they jumped Kobe, because obviously he's a great player and then I was able to get that pocket pass. I made the intention to go to the rim and Dwight was wide open. I always try to find him every time when I'm rolling there, unless they back off a lot from me and then I have to get the shot up, which is also a good choice."
As much as the play worked because Bryant shot pull-up jump shots in the first quarter to get the Nets to change their defense to pressure the ball, it also worked because Gasol kept shooting the ball from the foul line extended all night when he was open. Even after he missed a couple in a row, he didn't defer when he got an open look from there. If Gasol had shown a reluctance to shoot the ball in that position, maybe Humphries doesn't close out on him and stays home with Howard and then there's no lob portion of the play to finish it off.
"They mostly come out of Kobe's pick-and-rolls," Gasol said of his team-high seven assists. "He gets all the hockey assists on my assists so he's the one initiating the action. They have to make a decision as far as how much they want to commit to Kobe and commit to the roll of Dwight and then I make the next decision, which is most of the time hitting the opposite wing for the open jumper or hitting Dwight if I see that he has an opportunity to score."
(For the record, we had to ask Bryant what he thought of adding the hockey assist as an official statistic -- holler, HoopIdea -- and he was non committal about the possibility. "It's really just if they want to add it, they'll add it," Bryant said. "For us players, it really doesn't change the game except for statistically we'll probably get a little more assists.")
Howard had the least to do with the play out of the three guys involved. He really didn't have to think, just observe what was playing out in front of him and use his tremendous athleticism to punctuate the chain of events with a slam dunk. But that was part of the beauty of watching he and Bryant and Gasol come together to make the play happen. Bryant did the skill work by shifting the defense into a compromised position, Gasol did the thinking work by assessing the skewed D that Bryant had created and then deciding the best possible avenue to score and Howard did the physical work by doing what he does best and leaping toward the hoop.
"It's a great play for us because you got to pick your poison," Howard told ESPNLosAngeles.com. "Sometimes they drop back on Kobe, he hits the jump shot. They come up, he passes the ball to Pau. If my man leaves me then I have a dunk. If my man stays home, Pau got the jump shot. So, we just got to slow the ball down and make the defense pay for making mistakes.
"It just shows that we're learning each others' game, we're getting into a good rhythm on the offensive end and we're playing together. It will only get better, so we just got to keep going."
That's the ultimate motivation to want to play together, when you see that a teammate gets it and that you're both operating on an unspoken plane while you're playing that renders the defense inconsequential.
The Lakers are still an unfinished experiment, but the way their elements are naturally mixing already doesn't make you think it's all going to blow up in their face.
"There's a lot of stuff you can't guard," Mike D'Antoni said after his first game on the sidelines ended with a win. "Kobe in the angle pick-and-roll with Pau there and going 7-feet (Gasol) to 7-feet (Howard) and Pau can pass ...
"So, a lot of good stuff."
Kobe nursing sore ankle
Kobe Bryant | Lakers
Apparently, Kobe Bryant turned an ankle during Tuesday's game and said that it bothered him all night.
"Had a hard time sleeping last night. Ankle still throbbing. Had to get up every few hours to ice it," he wrote on his Facebook page.
We should know more about his status for Wednesday's tilt with the Sacramento Kings as game-time nears, but Bryant notoriously plays through just about every injury, so he should be on the floor. However, Wednesday's game is the second of four contest in five days for the Los Angeles Lakers, so he'll have have a pretty heavy workload on the joint in the coming days.

Noticed that. I LOVE that play where Kobe finds Pau top of the key after the P&R, it just leads to great results. Pau can take the FT line J, find a corner shooter (MWP), attack the rim, or if the D rotates to him he can lob it to Howard.
It was unstoppable last year (we called it KGB, Bynum instead of Howard) and we didn't run it nearly enough. It seems we're going to it more this year.
And when Nash comes back, that's one of the best passers/shooters in the game running the P&R attracting even more D, and that's Kobe mothereffing Bryant on one of the wings. UNSTOPPABLE.

The U.S. Congress just released the brand new funding bill for FY2014 – a massive bill involving more than a trillion tax dollars – and we are thrilled to announce that horse slaughter will not be coming back to United States soil.
The ASPCA worked day and night to ensure that tax dollars would not be spent on inspections that enable the slaughter of horses for human consumption. We worked closely with other animal welfare organizations, consumer safety groups, as well as thousands of citizens representing the 80% of Americans that oppose horse slaughter, and Congress has listened. The message from Capitol Hill is loud and clear on this issue: Our horses deserve better and this dangerous industry must not be tolerated. Horse slaughter has no business here.
Advocates fought hard when the Agriculture Appropriations bill was being considered at committee level, winning votes in both the House and Senate that amended the bills to prohibit funding for horse slaughter inspections. And tonight, we finally know that this horse slaughter funding limitation is intact! Congress is not expected to make any changes to the bill text at this stage of the game, so the writing is on the wall for any efforts to open horse slaughter plants in the U.S. Both chambers are expected to pass the bill, and the president is expected to sign it into law, later this week.
Now is the time for Congress to take the final step in protecting America's horses from this nightmarish industry, by passing the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act (H.R. 1094 / S. 541) to prevent both the slaughter of American horses for human consumption in this country, and their export for that purpose abroad.
Be a voice for horses and urge your members of Congress to cosponsor the SAFE Act today!
Kudos to all of those unselfish and dedicated folks who worked tirelessly to get the word out there and get this bill passed.. What a day what a day.... step back, take a bow and enjoy the applause!!!!
Ok I'm going to play devils advocate here. If there is no funding for inspections then what does that mean for slaughter plants themselves? Without funding for inspections (fyi, those are to ensure that animals are handled and euthanized as humanely as possible). Then doesn't that still leave the door open for slaughter to be reopened in the us? The fact is that they can still be shipped across the border where conditions and handling practices are barbaric compared to the us. Further more, that still leaves the hundreds of thousands of unwanted horses EVERY YEAR to what? Starve to death? Get tossed to the way side? Was that even discussed in the budget or by anti-slaughter advocates. Before anyone starts crucifying me for being pro slaughter I will go on record to say I DO NOT WANT HORSES HARVESTED FOR FOOD. It is not our countries culture as a whole. I just feel like its being very short sided to the real problem. You can't fix stupid, and it is impossible to regulate how people treat their horses or make decisions regarding them.
I live in Canada, and have closely watch the slaughter industry since the early 1960's. It is the height of American arrogance to say your plants were more humane. They were designed by the same people as the ones in Canada, and run by the same standards. In fact, your slaughter shill, Temple Grandin the Bloodthirsty designed our newest ones here.
Mexico upholds far higher standards than either the US or Canada. The border guards turn back horses that are emaciated, injured and pregnant. Neither Canada nor the US has ever done that.
You actually are pro slaughter, since every word you're spouting is pure lies published by the PR teams at the slaughter corporations. If you want shipping to other countries to stop, agitate for the SAFE Act.
The ONLY relationship slaughter has to horse abuse and cruelty, is that it creates it. When animals are considered disposable objects, profitable ones at that, they will be disposed of.
No, you can't fix stupid, as you said.
Horsewoman, You are correct there are no humane slaughter plants anywhere, rather it be in Mexico, Canada or the United States. It is very wrong to target just 1 country. I believe we all are to blame for this cruelty to our horses. I believe in stiffer laws against animal cruelty. Not just for the horses but for all animals in the world. I believe the thorobred association should be held responsible for the unwanted foals being born then tossed aside due to they dont messure up. If our goverments would just put into laws that the owners of these horses are to be held responsible for their actions, there would be alot less unwanted neglected abused horses in this world. And its not just the thorobred association. Its for all horse owners. Rather its a small time horse farm or a multi-million dollar industry. We as human beings need to stop breeding just to be breeding horses. We us the people created these problems. It started with the people, it needs to end with the people.
Horsewoman, You are so right, it makes no difference where a horse is slaughtered, the poor terrified horse suffers regardless of location. I will say that the horses must suffer longer if they are transported, but that really isn't the point. I think horse slaughter should be banned everywhere, in every country. And, Canada is certainly no worse than the US or Mexico. I live in the US, but anyone who thinks we are better than other countries in the care of our animals is sadly mistaken.
Horsewoman, of course you are correct to call any Americans arrogant who put themselves above Canada or Mexico on this matter, but you're wrong about one person, and that's Temple Grandin.
A great deal of her incredible work and her life have been dedicated to the humane slaughter of cattle, and now horses. You may be against any horse slaughter, but if you ever were involved with the raising of cows "the old fashioned" way, you know they have as different personalities as horses do (and have been ridden by many a child). If the US is going to send horses to slaughter, it has to be in the US, done humanely, including with humane transport. If we're not, we've got to come up with a plan to care for the hundreds of thousands of horses no longer young/good enough for Muffy to show, fast enough for syndicates to race, too expensive for people to care for, esp. after loss of a job or the death of an elderly partner, and any number of other reasons that hidden horses become sick, isolated, emaciated, and knee deep in their own manure every day in this country.
It means that without inspectors the horse meat will not meet USDA standards for human consumption. Thus, processing plants that would have opened will no longer be profitable. Doesn't fix the entire problem but stops the processing of horse meat in the USA. By the way, the reason dog food must pass USDA inspection is because so many poor and elderly have to eat it. Sad commentary.

Attention, and the creative response
Zen koans are an important part of the practice of Rinzai Zen, one of the main schools of Zen. They help people to learn that intelligence and creativity function by themselves, like breathing, or heartbeat - that we don't have to rack our brains to come up with creative solutions to problems. Racking the brains usually means that we are rummaging among our known data looking for something unknown - looking for something that isn't there - a needless waste of energy.
Christianity approaches this matter with statements like, "Why do you worry? It doesn't add a single hair to your head." Or, "If you are being taken before the judge, don't practice how you are going to respond. Your Father in Heaven will give you the answer after the question is asked." (or something like that)
Most of us premeditate how we are going to deal with situations that haven't happened yet, so our responses aren't creative. Koan practice, on one level, is a simple exchange between student and Zen Master in which the student goes into the question and answer session with no premeditated or rehearsed answer. The student goes in empty, and responds 'off the top of his head', depending on what the Master says or does. If you take aim before the target appears, you'll never hit the mark. Koan practice helps the student to see the effectiveness and creativity of the unrehearsed response. He learns to trust himself. He learns to pay attention to what's being said and done, instead of just waiting to blurt out his premeditated response. This is one of the main reasons why the samurai were interested in Zen. (Wage war with surprise moves). (The sparrow can't catch the butterfly, because even the butterfly doesn't know which way he's going to dart next).

6. Make room for exercise
This is reason in itself to de-clutter your house. Most people I know say they would do a little morning yoga or some push-ups and crunches, if only they had room to do it. Make room. I live in a studio apartment - not a large space - but I have plenty of room to spread out my yoga mat because I decided to omit the ubiquitous coffee table from my floor plan. Evaluate which pieces of furniture are absolutely necessary, and give the others away. If you must, must have a large coffee table in your living space, put it on wheels so that you can push it out of the way.

CAAM Presents Go Tell It On The Mountain: The California African American Museum (CAAM) presents the exhibition "Go Tell It On The Mountain." The exhibit showcases 24 artists who examine Christianity's role in fostering political action and social engagement. The exhibition's curators, Nery Gabriel Lemus and Mar Hollingsworth, utilized James Baldwin's 1953 novel of the same title, "Go Tell It On The Mountain," as a point of departure to select a variety of pieces. The selections celebrate faith and, at times contrast, the oppositional forces within Christianity and the underlying tensions of religious control as well as human hypocrisy. WHERE: CAAM is located at 600 State Drive, Exposition Park, Los Angeles. For more information visit www.caamuseum.org or call (213) 744-2024.
