Is the iPod Nano Touch a Failure?
I don't see them around... like at all. I mainly see iPhones, iPod Touches, and on occasion, an iPad just because they're big to carry around. Would you consider the device a failure? Apple doesn't seem to be pushing the device at all either.

But yes, I think the iPod Nanos have seen better days. It is no surprise that the popularity of the iPod family has declined because the uber-popular iPhones (smartphones in general) have cannibalized the music-playing abilities of the iPods. And as the market for iPods is smaller these days, there is going to be at least one iPod model that will be the odd red-headed stepchild. That seems like the Nano.
The iPod touches still remain semi-popular because they are a lower-cost zero-subscription alternative to the iPhones. They can do almost everything the iPhone can do, and can run about every app the iPhone can run, except they lack a phone. My prediction is that IF Apple does indeed start manufacturing a so-called "low-cost iPhone", then you can finally see the true demise of the iPod touches.
Meanwhile, the iPod shuffles still got game... because their form factor makes them an overwhelming favorite of many athletes. It is no secret that gold medalist Michael Phelps used a custom water-proofed iPod shuffle during the Olympics. So did bazillions of other athletes. Plus so many people in gyms still use the tiny iPod shuffle during workouts. The cheap price of the shuffle means that it can easily be an impulse buy with minimal buyers remorse.
So that leaves us with the Nano. Caught somewhere in between, it's really in a no-mans-land where it is hard to determine exactly what kind of customers the Nano is most suitable for. The touchscreen of the iPod Nano (touch) is not compelling enough. It simply cannot install and run the same App Store apps that the iPod touch and iPhones can.
In the end, the Nano is the weakest link in the iPod family. I'm not sure Apple can do anything to "push" the design any further.

In my opinion, yes it is.
I think its a stupid size, its ugly af hell, and the touchpart is plain stupid on that size of device. The old ones with the click wheel was way better. Remember its a music device.
I really liked it, a lot more, with the small form factor, when it were like a iPod shuffle Deluxe.
|Feb 13, 2013, 10:22 AM
Do you mean those tiny square ones? I have one in green I like to use it when I'm snowboarding or biking or things of that manner where I don't want to lug around some overly large, fragile device. I never used it for apps, since I Don't think it can even have any? I got it originally because I couldn't afford the larger versions...
I never had one with the button wheel so I can't comment on that.
I think really though, if you want to use it FOR MUSIC you could always get the 160 GB classic. Can't beat that

I have an older iPod Nano hooked up to my car radio and it works flawlessly in that capacity. I have a 5th generation iPod touch for travel since I can use the camera, translation app as well as the money exchange app. I don't have an iPhone since I do next to nothing on a cell phone. I am retired and I don't have the need to keep in touch with anyone. I have a TracPhone in my car for emergencies that costs me $80 a year. So there are uses for all the iPods and if they aren't needed by you, it doesn't mean they are leaving the scene anytime soon.
|Feb 13, 2013, 07:49 PM
I have one, and I love it. I just think that there are not a lot of people left that will buy a device that is purely media and nothing more.
The touchscreen is great, especially since it's much, much bigger than the previous Nano. I have big hands, and I have no trouble navigating it. I use it everyday to listen to music, listen to podcasts and audiobooks, and to count my steps. I like watching a little video on it too. Having my iTunes U content on it is great too. while I'd have probably upgraded my iPhone and iPad twice, this little Nano will probably be kicking around.
People were hoping that it was going to be another "watch" form iPod. And I think that is why it probably didn't sell as well as the previous generation. But there were also people like me who didn't want to take a chance on a product that small too. So they made it bigger and made it much easier to use.
It feels great in my pocket too.

Thanks for the review, I'm debating whether or not to get the Nano, my Ipod 4th gen click wheel's hard drive just died and I'm not sure what to buy, this, the Ipod classic, buy a cheap Sony 4gb and wait for product updates because I really only need an Ipod for podcasts and to have quick access to about 10 gb's of my music collection, I like the ability to connect to my home stereo and be able to play my entire library. Also in the future I would like to buy an Ipod touch to watch movies on the go and I think Apple is moving to offer an Ipod touch with 128 gb's, so I would like to wait on that. Not to mention the fact that the process to move your DVD's to the Ipod takes too long at the current moment.
From comments on Youtube and various other reviews, many seem to be mocking this Nano but I like the fact that the hard drive is flash based unlike the Classic as I would rather not have the worry of another hard drive failure. I'm not too keen on the touch screen but that seems to be the direction all these products are moving toward, do you have a screen protector on your Nano?
I'm assuming you like the sound quality of this Nano?
|Feb 14, 2013, 12:22 AM
Sound quality is good, like that of the other iPods anyway.

I have the 7th Gen Nano... I've seen one or 2 at the gym... but what's great about it is the bluetooth. It doesn't ever need to be seen. At the gym I have it clipped to my hip while I work out using my BT headphones.
I do prefer the older "watch" sized iPod though and I just found an 8gb one for 85 bucks used on Amazon. I'm actually debating which one to keep right now.
I also own an iPhone 5 and a iPad Mini currently, using a Nano in the gym is much better solution than my phone (which is big and heavy and I'm always worried about cracking the screen with a weight) and it's also great to not be distracted by texts and phone calls while working out.

I went to Best Buy tonight to try the Nano out, of course on all of the Ipod models they had no music or video loaded which defeats the purpose, I'll have to try Radio Shack or the Apple Store tomorrow but I'm resigned to the fact that I really don't have a choice if I want a stopgap Ipod.
The question for the people that have the Nano 7th gen, is navigating the music easy, for some podcasts I need to fast forward through commercials and I was surprised at how small the Nano is, in fact I understand some of the complaints, video must be useless with such a small screen, touch screen seems like a waste as well, better off with a click wheel and more memory. This is how Apple gets you, they don't give you a middle of the road choice, they don't give you 20 or 30 gb's, so if you have a large library you are forced to go with the Classic.
Anyway my only worry is the small touch screen and ease of use with changing music and fast forwarding through podcasts, thanks for any insight you can give me.

I wouldn't consider the iPod nano a failure. It's just stuck in the middle between a very cheap iPod (the shuffle) and a really kick ass iPod with lots of features (the touch), the latter which is only $50 more.
For me I still prefer the iPod nano for working out. It has built-in Bluetooth now, and has Nike+ integration which I use. Unlike the shuffle, it has a screen, so I can don't need to wear a watch, and I can easily switch songs and playlists. Overall it's not much bigger than the shuffle and is a lot smaller than the touch.
People tend to use their iPod touch out in the open and keep their iPod shuffle clipped to their shirts. The nano has no such clip, and doesn't have apps, so usually it's kept in the pocket, which is why you're less likely to see people use it.

If you're used to the interface of the iPod touch, you can use the 7G iPod nano. and unlike the 6G "watch" model, the touch screen is actually big enough to be usable. Mind you, I wished Apple would offer a 32 GB version so I can store more audio on the player, though.

If they would have added wi-fi for wireless syncing/streaming, etc...then I think it would still have had many more legs to go on...but without, it's extremely limited when most all of people's iDevices have that functionality.
For example, I have an old nano now that I have to manually sync, however I don't because my iPhone has all my music, and I don't have to worry about moving the cord to my computer, and waiting for it to sync.
If it would auto-sync with icloud like my iphone, mac mini, and ipad, then I'd get the new nano to take to the gym instead of risking breaking my phone, lol.

Well I have been trying out the Nano and I'm leaning to returning it and just getting the Classic. Unfortunately the Nano does not seem to be conducive to playing podcasts, especially if you have to fast forward through the commercials, it is almost too touch sensitive with not enough real estate on the screen. For example, while rewinding or fast forwarding near the volume bar, you sometimes hit the volume bar. On the drop down screen from the top, it sometimes takes forever to pinpoint the small taskbar to fast forward it with increased speed. Also I hate the fact that the drop down screen which tells you how much time is remaining in your podcast, does not stay on the screen, it disappears after a few seconds and I don't see any possible way in the settings to keep it there permanently. That is a big deal when you are looking to see what place you are in the show, especially when listening to talk radio with commercials.
I thought I would really like the addition of an FM radio but I find it does not get in many stations and when you try to manually tune it, the overly sensitive touch screen can be frustrating to land on your station.
In general the Nano is too small if you like to browse your music library. My concern with the Classic was the traditional hard drive, I wish it was flash based but my first Ipod Classic lasted over 7 years, so I'm hoping this one does the same. I'm sure after I buy it, Apple will upgrade it but so it goes.
It is tough to buy the Classic over the Touch but even though the Touch has a large screen, I'm afraid that some of the same issues as far as podcasts go, will be the same, for example the drop down menu not staying on the entire length of the podcast, although I could be wrong about that.
Also I followed Apple's advice and fully charged it right away. I've been listening to a podcast for ten minutes and the battery level has already gone down a tick. This may be crazy to some but the Nano is even too small to put in your pocket, there seems to be an obsession with these wafer size products, I don't get it.

I have a 4th generation and I still see more 4th-5th generation Nanos than 7th generation. Maybe I'm just getting old and cranky, but I still think the 4th generation with the clickwheel was the best Ipod if all you want is a dedicated music player. Ipod has lost its way since.

|Mar 19, 2013, 01:48 AM
i don't think it's a failure. i myself bought one and really like it. i was having second thought as i already have ipod touch, shuffle and classic and yet the nano 7th has a distinct place. it's so convenient to carry and 16 GB is more than enough space for all my music. i am using it more than my classic and touch and love carrying it. i can easily slide it in my pocket even with a case/screen protector. i even have a belkin armband that i use when i am out walking or biking.

people aren't stupid - they've seen the Nano form factor flip flop and how Apple touts it as "all new" each time. they throw in great features, then take them away, then reintroduce them and call it "all new". enough is enough
Apple needs to add features to the Nano - not take them away. Bluetooth was LONG overdue. hell, this thing should at least have Wifi for AirPlay, Wifi sync, etc.
the reason why we aren't seeing Nanos all over the place is b/c the people around us who would have bought a Nano most likely spent the extra $50 and bought an actual $199 iPhone 16GB (subsidized price) where they can use iTunes Match and stream all 80GB+ of their music at their finger tips without the need to store anything locally. this is the same reason i don't see the iPod Touch anywhere either. the Nano has lost its purpose with the exception of people who use it to work out (i do), or 12 yr olds. but even 12 yr olds are getting iPhones.
Apple is smart - they are doing this on purpose. the margins on iPods are pitiful compared to the all-mighty iPhone. if they could dissolve their entire iPod line in exchange for everyone owning an iPhone they would do it.
for the sake of keeping the Nano innovative, it should at least have wifi and the ability to output via AirPlay and also stream from iTunes Match. the iPod Nano would work great to double as a home music remote. also bring back the camera and video camera, which would sync to a Macbook or Windows PC via Photo Stream when on wifi. these are all minor modifications that can still maintain the thin profile, albeit it would need to be a bit longer device than the current 7th gen. i'm OK with that though

Cold-hardy hellebores bloom when rest of garden is dormant
They're hardy, bloom early and require little attention
Cheryl Turner / MCT
Hellebores come in shades of pink, as well as purple.
The Gardener's Workshop
The long-lasting flowers make eye-catching bouquets.
The Gardener's Workshop
Hellebores grow vigorously in shade, even when competing with a large trees' roots.
The Gardener's Workshop
A hellebore blossom shows how it forms seeds that will disperse to create new plants.
"I began researching shade garden plants and fell in love with hellebores," she says.
"They bloom when nothing else is blooming, and brighten up a winter garden."
Hellebores are forgiving plants, Turner said.
Once established, they require minimum maintenance: Just trim back the earlier year's growth so the new blooms can emerge and be seen and enjoyed.
The best tip, she said, is to make sure the plants are watered regularly when they are first planted. Then sit back and enjoy the annual show, which often begins with early bloomers like Jacob in December.
The genus Helleborus includes several cultivars, the most common being Helleborus orientalis, nicknamed Lenten rose.
Hellebores are cold-hardy beauties for several reasons: Deer and voles do not like them. Hellebores tend to dislike being transplanted, so place them where you want them and leave them be.
They also give you dozens, sometimes more, new plants because they reseed and spread.
"Hellebores are the most fabulous dry shade ground cover -- ever!" said Liza Ziegler of an online shop, The Gardener's Workshop, www.shoptgw.com.
"Planted at the base of large trees that suck the life out of others, hellebores seem to shine. They are evergreens that bloom in winter, last till June or so and deer don't eat them -- what's not to love?" she said.
When planted in organic-rich soil in the fall, the plants need little care, Ziegler said. Planted in early spring, they need supplemental watering to get established.
"We mulch, but not too deeply to allow the seeds that drop to have contact with the soil to germinate into a plant," she said.
"We might spread some compost as mulch every couple of years and top with a thin layer of leaves. No fertilizers needed.
"It takes up to two years to get a 6-inch plant, which makes them pricey. It takes time to grow them into the half-gallon pot that you purchase for $20," she said.
Ziegler says her entire hellebores collection, which numbers in the dozens, started with three plants she purchased in 1991.
"Most folks cut them too early to have a long-lasting cut flower," she said.
"Once they have bloomed and the heads that initially are facing the ground lift upward, the color changes to green and the seed pods have developed in the center we harvest for cut flowers.
"We cut the stem at ground level and place it in fresh cut-flower food. They last two to four weeks in the vase at this stage."

The case of alleged physical and sexual abuse against a 72-year-old Kinston man is in the hands of the N.C. attorney general's office.
Nov. 17, the N.C. Industrial Commission received a civil suit filed by Raleigh attorney Bruce W. Berger on behalf of Gwendolyn Woods and her uncle, seeking damages of more than $10,000. The filing names the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services and the O'Berry Neuro-Medical Treatment Center as defendants.
The suit claims O'Berry employees beat, sexually assaulted and "negligently applied too much force" during the care of Woods' uncle. The suit also says DHHS and O'Berry, "failed to properly and adequately hire, train and/or supervise its employees resulting in a situation where the assaults … could take place."
Woods' uncle, who is described as "mildly mentally retarded" and "partially paralyzed on his right side" in the suit, entered O'Berry in May 2010 and began telling family in mid-2011 he wanted to be removed from the facility because of physical mistreatment, a matter that came to a head in August of this year.
Woods, speaking to reporters outside the Lenoir County Courthouse on an unusually warm and windy Monday, said her uncle continues to suffer from the alleged incidents.
"My biggest thing is where (he)'s at right now," Woods said. "Where he's at right now is that he is still hurting, that he is still suffering. He is still talking about it, and it has not left him. By him doing so, he was still acting out. But now he's home."
After being placed in protective custody at O'Berry following an Aug. 17 examination at Lenoir Memorial Hospital, Woods' uncle transferred to the Caswell Developmental Center before returning home with Woods on Nov. 20.
"Just yesterday, I turned my TV on mute, and I had some company, and they heard him in there just talking about it," Woods said, referring to her uncle's room at her home. "Talking about the guy in his bed, and telling him to shut up. He's still talking about it."
Under state law, the Industrial Commission is a vested court of original jurisdiction for tort claims against state agencies, such as this case. It processes about 500 claims annually.
According to an NCIC official, once the commission receives a claim, it's forwarded to the state attorney general's office, which has 30 days to determine if a state agency is liable. If so, that opens a period of evidence discovery by the plaintiff and the defendants, a process that could take months.
From there, the case is scheduled for a hearing before an NCIC deputy commissioner. If either party is unhappy with the result there, it can appeal to a three-member panel of the full commission.
However, most of the process can be averted. The official said that once the attorney general's office reveals its findings, the parties can choose to enter into mediation instead.
The Wayne County Department of Social Services referred Woods' uncle's case to the county district attorney's office for possible criminal charges, though Berger said Monday he was unaware of any action by the district attorney so far.
On the civil matter, Woods, appears ready to take the case as far as it will go.
"People need to know that abuse is going on," Woods said. "And it's not just there, it's everywhere."

The material is great but would be nice to be able to write on it. And we got our order in 5 days from approval. We are thrilled! Thank you again!
Best cards, can't wait to send them!
I love the variety of cards and the ease in personalizing them. I plan on using magnetstreet for all my correspondance material.

Comments about Elongated Toilet Seat Riser:
Because of his arthritic my husband was finding it more and more difficult to get up off the toilet by himself. With this raised seat that problem has been taken care of. I will say if a person without a handicap and with shorter legs tries to use this item it could be a problem but for anyone who experiences the inconvenience of needing assistance to get up off the toilet, this product could be a life saver.

CARSON, Calif. – Todd Dunivant is returning to the farm this weekend. No, not an actual farm with cows, chickens and horses, but "the Farm," which is a colloquial term for Stanford University where Dunivant was a star defender for the Cardinal.
Dunivant is expected to lead the Galaxy on Saturday when they take on the San Jose Earthquakes at Stanford Stadium. The match is a homecoming of sorts for Dunivant, who was a four year starter at Stanford where he captained the Cardinal to the 2002 College Cup Final while picking up a host of personal honors along the way.
"It's one that I circle without a doubt. The fact that we can play at Stanford and play where I went to college is huge," said Dunivant. "It's fun. I'll have friends and a lot of people from the university there. They're making a big deal of it, and again, they're getting a huge crowd so it's great for their organization and the league."
Playing at the modern facility at Stanford rather than the rustic and intimate confines at Buck Shaw is not without disadvantages, however.
"They didn't build that stadium for soccer, which is kind of disappointing. They want to be as tight as possible for the football confines and to their credit, the football team has been great," said Dunivant. "It's okay, it's not that small, but it is tight."
CARSON, Calif. – The American sporting world has begun its social progress with the acceptance of openly professional athletes and on Wednesday, the U.S. as a whole made its own move forward thanks to a ruling by the United States Supreme Court.
In a 5-4 ruling, the justices threw out the section of the Defense of Marriage Act that denied federal benefits to same-sex couples and rejected the state of California's same-sex marriage ban, allowing gay and lesbian couples to once again wed in California.
Robbie Rogers, the first openly gay professional male athlete in a major American sport, was overjoyed by the decision.
"I just have a smile on my face," Rogers said. "My dad was here [at Galaxy practice] and he was talking about it. I'm far from getting married, but I have friends that have been together for a really long time and now they can get married. Also guys that have been separated for green card reasons and all that stuff. It's exciting and I'm from California, if I wanted to get married then I'd want it to be here in front of my family, so it's cool."
Rogers is well-aware that there are plenty in society who will feel anger over the Supreme Court decision, but he's seen many come around on the issue —particularly his own mother.
"My mom sent me a text this morning and asked how I feel about this and I said that 'I feel great mom and I'm really excited about it.' My mom comes from a really conservative catholic family and she said that she's so happy for my friends that can now get married," said Rogers. "Times are changing. My mom is such a loving person, but probably a few years ago, if I had asked her that then she probably would have had no comment."
The Supreme Court's ruling left many questions unanswered as there was no complete acceptance of gay marriage, but Rogers was reflective when asked about the progress that society has shown in the past year.
"Things are progressing and things are moving," said Rogers. "I feel like this has been a pretty special year."
Rogers also commented on his personal twitter account, which you can see below:

The LA Galaxy Under-18's were unable to overcome a pair of early defensive breakdowns on Tuesday as they dropped their second game of the Development Academy 2-0 to the Dallas Texans.
Dallas scored two goals in the first half with strikes from Broady Hickey in the 17th minute off a penalty and Christin Soldat, who capitalized on a defensive breakdown seven minutes later. Following the Texans two goals early, the Galaxy controlled the run of play throughout the second half, but were unable to cut the lead to one. That doesn't mean that they didn't have plenty of opportunities, however, as LA was unable to find the back of the net.
Heading into the final match day, Group 8 remains wide open as the Texans lead the way with four points, the Galaxy are in second with three, New England Revolution with two, and San Jose Earthquakes with one.
The Galaxy can assure a place in Finals Week with a victory over New England and a Texans loss or tie to the Earthquakes on Thursday. If Dallas defeats San Jose then they will qualify for Finals Week regardless of the Galaxy result.
Heading into the final match, Yi believes that his players will be focused and ready on Thursday.
"I get the feeling from these guys that I don't have to say much. They know what they have to do. I strongly believe that we should have gotten something out of this game with the amount of possession and clear chances that we created for ourselves in the second half," Yi told LA Galaxy Insider. "No one likes to lose, but you have different reactions to a loss and I'm pretty upbeat going into New England. The effort that these guys put in -- besides two plays -- was outstanding."
According to Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl, Landon Donovan's U.S. National Team absence is about to come to an end.
SI.com reported on Tuesday afternoon that Donovan will be included in Jurgen Klinsmann's U.S. squad for the 2013 Gold Cup. The 31-year-old Donovan was not included in the U.S. roster for last month's World Cup Qualifiers and has not taken the field for the U.S. since last August. U.S. Soccer is expected to make the squad official sometime this week.
The tournament runs from July 6 to July 28 across the U.S. and wILL likely cause Donovan to miss all five of the LA Galaxy's league matches in July.
Thoughts on Donovan returning to the U.S.? Upset that he may miss an entire month's action?

CARSON, Calif. – Jose Villarreal burst on the scene last year with the LA Galaxy first team and quickly became a staple for his club and the U.S. U-20. But while the eldest Villarreal was scoring astounding goals, his younger brother Jaime has sought to showcase his own skills.
There are plenty of similarities between the two, right down to their maturity, size (both stand about 5-foot-8), and even the need to undergo bilateral compartment surgery. Jose went under the knife to correct the issue during his first preseason with LA in February 2012 while Jaime had the surgery more than seven months later.
Since the injury, Villarreal has blossomed into one of the U-18's brightest stars with four goals in 10 appearances, many of the tallies coming during the stretch run that saw the Galaxy defeat Real Salt Lake-Arizona for the Southwest Division title. Galaxy U-18 head coach Alex Yi is well aware that Jaime looks to his older brother for inspiration as he tries to follow in his footsteps.
"I know that Jose is an inspiration for Jaime and Jaime was fortunate enough to play with Jose last year with the U-18's," said Yi.
But the youngest member of the Villarreal clan has chosen a different word to describe his feelings.
"It's motivation," said Villarreal. "A lot of people expect for me to do the same as him, but just watching him puts my own expectations up high so I have to do a good job."
But his older brother's success isn't the only motivation for the young midfielder. Following his injury, Yi dared Villarreal to reach top level fitness and become a regular for the U-18's. And with the Galaxy in the Development Academy Playoffs on the precipice of a place in Finals Week in July, with Villarreal contributing along the way, he has clearly passed with flying colors.
"My challenge to Jaime was to get himself to the level of fitness that an elite player should have. Everything that I've thrown at Jaime, he's embraced it and taken it on. He's always been a mature kid and he always had a very, very high soccer IQ. It was just a matter of getting his fitness back to where it should be…and Jaime is, I think, in the best shape that I've seen him with the Galaxy."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy Under-18's began the Development Academy with a bang as they crushed the San Jose Earthquakes 4-1 in their tournament opener. Not much time to celebrate, however, as they look to lock up a spot in Finals Week against regional powerhouse Dallas Texans.
The club that developed the likes of Omar Gonzalez, Clint Dempsey and numerous others held firm in their first group 8 match by playing the New England Revolution to a 1-1 draw. With just one team advancing from group play onto Finals Week in July the stakes will be high heading into Tuesday's clash.
Although mystery is a common element in youth soccer matches, Galaxy U-18 coach Alex Yi is quite familiar with the Texans industrious style of play.
"They're a very good club. We know Dallas Texans pretty well. I lived in Dallas for a couple of years and watched a lot of David Hudgell's teams," said the former FC Dallas defender. "His teams are very respected and have a very particular style of play. Also, they'll be playing in front of their families and fans, so that will be a tough one."
As for that "particular style of play," Yi describes it in just two words "very physical."
"They will like to hit long balls into channels where they will have big athletic guys who will run down balls, second balls, pick them up and go from there. For us, it's about being in a good starting position defensively and dealing with those first and second balls," said Yi. "Also, keeping possession of the ball and not letting them find a rhythm. They're a team that once they have the rhythm, they could really punish you. It's about being very disciplined and clean on set pieces."
The style may be different than the one the more technical Galaxy side play, but forward Jaime Villarreal sees more than a few similarities between the two teams.
"They're very good defensively, and they're a similar to team to us because they have a lot of Hispanics and they touch the ball really well," said Villarreal. "But we have to be the better team, keep the possession, and attack smart."
The two teams also have a long history of facing off against one another with one match sticking out above all others. In July of 2011, the Galaxy U-16's defeated the Texans 4-0 using six of the players who will likely suit up on Tuesday. Although the Galaxy won by a convincing margin as they eventually clinched the Development Academy title, the match was marred by two red cards for LA.
With a chance to practically lock up Finals Week qualification on the line, Yi doesn't expect his young charges to lose their discipline again.
"These guys will remember that. The thing that these guys have is experience," said Yi. "They've played the Dallas Texans before and these memories don't fade fast. They'll know what it takes."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy's reported pursuit of Mexican international Giovani Dos Santos has taken another turn.
According to the Spanish daily Marca, an 8 million euro transfer bid to Dos Santos' current club, Mallorca as well as a 2 million euro contract offer were rejected by the 24-year-old. LA's offer wasn't the only one to be reportedly rejected as Marca reports that Mallorca rejected a significantly smaller bid from Spanish giants Valencia.
That's not all, however, as the Spanish newspaper goes on to state that a bidding "war" could be brewing for Dos Santos between the Galaxy and Valencia.
When reached for comment, the Galaxy declined comment on the report.
Thoughts on Dos Santos rumors? Could the Galaxy win a bidding war with a Spanish side?
Share your thoughts below.
To advance from the Development Academy "Group of Death," the LA Galaxy Under-18's were going to need a massive performance from forward Justin Dhillon, and in the first game of the tournament, he delivered.
Dhillon scored a hat trick while Sebastian Velasquez added a fourth goal as the Galaxy U-18's crushed the San Jose Earthquakes U-18 side 4-1 in their first match of the tournament. The Cal Poly commit has now scored 20 goals in U-18 Development Academy games this season after scoring 17 times during the regular season. Sebastian Velasquez scored the fourth and final goal for LA.
In the other action from group eight, Dallas Texans drew the New England Revolution 1-1. A full recap of LA's match and the rest of the games can be found at Top Drawer Soccer.
The Galaxy U-18's are back in action on Tuesday night against the Texans. Their match against the club that produced the likes of Omar Gonzalez and Clint Dempsey kicks off at 7:15 p.m. PT.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy Under-18's return to Texas this week for the Development Academy Playoffs and will be eager to apply the lessons of their last trip to the Lone Star State.
In March, the Galaxy went 1-2-0 during their participation in Dallas Cup, finishing third in the group. Although the Galaxy were unable to advance to the knockout stages, they were competitive in their two defeats to eventual tournament champions Fulham and Brazilian power Coritiba.
As they look to this week's Development Academy Playoffs in Frisco, Texas, which begin with a match against the San Jose Earthquakes on Monday, the Galaxy look to show off what they learned at Dallas Cup.
"I think that we got a good experience off of that," said midfielder Jaime Villarreal. "We played lots of good teams from across the country and it helped us more when we came back because we saw their high expectations. It was good for us and made us a better team."
Galaxy Under-18 head coach Alex Yi believes that having played against some of the top teams in the world will aid his team as they look to advance from a tricky group 8 that includes San Jose Earthquakes, Dallas Texans, and the New England Revolution.
"I think it'll help a lot," said Yi. "For kids who aren't professionals and aren't used to having to bring that type of focus and competitiveness to every game, having been to those types of games gives you calm and confidence.
"They can think that 'I've been here before; I've been in these types of situations or I've played against a Fulham who won at Dallas Cup and we could have gotten something out of that game,'" Yi added. "It lets you know how fine a line it is between success and failure. It helps them know what it takes to succeed in those types of environments."
A late equalizer by Daniel Cuevas gave the U.S. a 1-1 draw with France at the U-20 World Cup to preserve the Americans hopes of qualifying for the knockout rounds.
Cuevas came into the match in the 77th minute replacing Jose Villarreal and eight minutes later, he notched the equalizer with a goal off a free kick by Luis Gil. Although the U.S. earned their first point of tournament, they had numerous opportunities to beat the French as Mario Rodriguez earned a penalty in the 64th minute, but Luis Gil was unable to convert.
All four Galaxy Academy graduates saw time against France as Villarreal went 77 minutes in a start while Oscar Sorto made his tournament debut by going a solid 45 minutes after coming on at the half. Sorto was particularly impressive as he was placed at his natural right back spot, which allowed head coach Tab Ramos to push explosive DeAndre Yeldin into the attack more. Meanwhile, Rodriguez and Javan Torre each went a full 90 minutes.
The U.S. will need a win in their final group match against Ghana on July 27 to have any hopes of qualifying for the Round of 16
Can the U.S.advance?

This is great news I only played otter creek once before my back surgery and was sad to see it go. Glad its coming back
Good work Jeremy, as usual.
KFW called me this morning and we had about a 45 minute conversation. The individual I spoke with this morning is disc golfer from MD. He said things are moving slower than they expected. They are set to take over the park but the feds haven't even signed off on it yet. They are moving on with planning regardless in order to be able to start working as soon as possible.
He said that he wants to start by meeting with me to discuss the general "way it was" at the park. He's unfamiliar with where any of the activities used to be so he's asked me to go over the general layout of activities in the park. Julie and I used to help lead the adventure and team building programs at OCP (Julie worked there full time and I was a full-time volunteer) for years so this has given us a excellent "in" with these guys. They want to see what activities can co-exist with hunting and fishing at OCP. He said that he's used to being perched in a tree hunting and having a mountain bike trail, joggers, disc golfers, etc. twenty feet behind him and there not being any problems. That's what they're hoping to achieve at OCP.
I've provided them the acreage, an arial footprint, and estimated ammount of users per day for the DGC all per their request. He said our next step will be an online survey to show the amount of people interested in disc golf at OCP. I don't know when that will happen but he said that's our next step once things get rolling. I'll let you know as soon as he tells me. We need to contact EVERY golfer we know at that point to have them sign the survey.
We have a lunch date to further discuss disc golf. It's looking good for disc golf at OCP.

"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
Sounds promising. Looking forward to signing a survey to let them know the popularity of disc golf in the area. Jeremy,thanks for spearheading this.
Sounds like there's an opportunity for a redesign? I'd take it either way...

"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
Personally I'd like to see the old layout and if we are really really lucky a second course.
I'm not sure how things will be with hunting in the area though. I don't mind if they offer it but I would prefer it be away from the other activities.
Bring on the survey!

In this week's show, we focus on how Latinas think about themselves as sexual beings, and the constraints on their decisions about sex and reproduction. We hear from one woman whose decision to end a pregnancy brings up memories of a history of control of women of color's fertility. We also examine how changes in funding of public health clinics in Texas have affected the choices of tens of thousands of women in the state. And we tell you the stories of some of the nearly two million people who have been deported during the Obama administration.
Latino USA, the foremost Latino voice in public media and the longest running Latino-focused program on radio, is the first radio program to commence equal-access distribution via Captioning for Radio. "Research has shown that Latino children have a higher incidence of hearing loss and deafness than other populations," according to Latino USA's Anchor & Executive Producer Maria Hinojosa. "When the opportunity to break this sound barrier came to our attention, we were pleased to embrace this new technology developed by NPR Labs and Towson University for the thousands of Latinos with serious hearing loss."

A trucker hat is one of the most popular casual hat styles in the world. The back mesh allows your head to breathe in hot weather and does a great job keeping you cool. The style started off as a promotional item for the farming community but became much more. Available in foam trucker hats, cotton, and polyester, the trucker cap grew in popularity with the rise of the skateboarding culture. Many Hollywood celebrities like Ashton Kutcher, Pharell Williams and Justin Timberlake have lifted the trucker hat to new heights of popularity. We strive to carry the largest and highest quality of truck driver hats caps in the industry. Our caps are available in classic and modern styles designed not only for truck drivers and athletes, but for everyone. Our trucker caps come in vibrant and deep colors and unique designs including baseball, military and driver styles.

OXFORD, Ohio - A wild offensive shootout saw Akron pull away in the final three minutes as it took an 84-77 victory over the Miami University women's basketball team Saturday afternoon. The RedHawks fall to 14-9 overall and 6-4 in the Mid-American Conference. The Zips improve to 16-7 overall and 7-3 in the MAC.
Erica Almady had a career game as her teammates continued to find her down low. She finished with a career-high 20 points on 7-for-11 shooting. She was one of four players in double figures as Courtney Osborn had 18 points, Kirsten Olowinski contributed 14 points and Haley Robertson finished with 13 points.
For Osborn, her 18 points give her 1,957 for her career. She needs 23 more to break Amanda Jackson's (2003-08) Miami scoring record of 1,979 points.
The RedHawks were on the attack right from the start as jumpers from Haley Robertson, Olowinski and Almady gave them a quick, 6-0, lead. The Zips fought back, tying the score at 12 with 13:13 remaining in the period. Osborn and Almady would then follow with a pair of jumpers to spark Miami on an 8-1 run that gave it a 20-13 lead with 7:47 to go.
Akron's ability to hit timely three-point baskets kept it in the contest throughout the game. A pair of baskets from downtown started a 17-9 run that put the Zips up for the first time, 30-29 at the 2:26 mark. Haley Robertson immediately followed with a three-pointer to give the lead back to the 'Hawks, but a 7-0 run to close the half sent Akron into the break in front, 37-32.
Miami shot 45.2 percent (14-for-31) during the first half, but Akron was able to top that with a 50 percent (13-for-26) shooting rate. The Zips also hit five shots from behind the arc, which helped them overcome a 21-9 rebounding deficit.
Hannah Robertson opened the second half with a three-pointer that cut the Akron lead to two. The lead fluctuated between two and six points over the next seven minutes as the teams continued to trade baskets. Following a pair of layups from Rachel Tecca and a couple of free throws from Sina King, the Zips took a 55-49 advantage with 12:07 to go in the game.
A jumper, followed by a three-pointer from Osborn made it a one point game at 55-54 at the 11:04 mark. Akron answered with a 5-2 run to go back in front 60-56, but back-to-back jumpers from Osborn and Almady would finally tie the score at 60. The teams would trade baskets once again over the next three and a half minutes until a jumper from Haley Robertson tied the score at 68 with 5:46 to go.
Hannah Robertson made a free throw at the 4:45 mark to put the 'Hawks in front for the first time in the second half at 69-68. Tecca and King responded with baskets that put Akron back up by three. A layup from Almady made it a one-point game at 72-71 with 3:28 to go, but a key 5-0 run by the Zips gave them a 77-71 advantage at the 2:40 mark.
An old-fashioned three-point play by Olowinski cut the deficit to three with 2:18 remaining. Hannah Robertson then have a great chance to cut into the lead even further after she got a steal, but Hanna Luburgh recovered nicely to get a block and secure the ball back for Akron. The Zips would then hit their free throws down the stretch to finish off the 84-77 win.
Miami finished the game shooting 50 percent (31-for-62) compared to 46.7 percent (28-for-60) shooting for Akron. The Zips found a lot of their success at the free throw line, going 21-for-23 (91.3 percent) from the charity stripe. Tecca was strong all night for Akron, finishing with 29 points and 11 assists. The RedHawks ended up winning the rebound battle, 35-31.
Miami returns to action next Saturday when it hosts Central Michigan at 1 p.m. That game is part of a doubleheader that will see the men's basketball team take on Buffalo at 3:30 p.m. Both games will be available on Miami All-Access for those who have a subscription.
