MLS Playoffs
The 2012 MLS Cup (Saturday, 1:30 p.m. PT on TSN and TEAM 1410 radio) will be contested by the same teams as 2011, at the same venue. But don't expect the same game.
Yes, once again LA Galaxy will host Houston Dynamo at The Home Depot Center, with the Dynamo hoping to overturn last year's 1-0 defeat to the Galaxy.
There are many storylines coming into this final, but none bigger David Beckham's last game in Major League Soccer. This will be the final chapter of his playing days in MLS – a league which he's done a great deal to help grow.
The ultimate question, however, is not so much about Beckham, but rather if Houston can turn the tables from last year and win this MLS Cup rematch.
A different Dynamo
Houston will go into this MLS Cup a more confident team than the last time they were here. A year ago the Dynamo had to deal with the absence of their most influential playmaker, midfielder Brad Davis. Not only do they have Davis ready to play this time around, but they can go into this game knowing that they can field a more potent offensive lineup.
Last year Houston sat back and allowed the Galaxy to carry the play, hoping they would catch LA on the break. It never really worked and the Dynamo never really looked like scoring, but they did keep the game close, which gave them the best chance to win.
Houston are now a more comfortable team in possession of the ball. Players like midfielder Boniek Garcia offer something different from last year, using his dribbling skills to attack defenders or make quick runs to get in behind the defence.
Another key player will be striker Will Bruin, who has continued where he left off in the regular season by finding his scoring touch with four goals so far in the playoffs.
It's quite clear to me that the Dynamo now have players to compliment the skills of Brad Davis, and this should change their approach from last year to be more of an attacking threat.
Motivation or distraction?
As for LA Galaxy, they will go into the game as clear favourites, however they will have to contend with the distraction of it being David Beckham's last game in MLS. That being said, they've had to deal with intense spotlight ever since Beckham joined the team, so this should be nothing new for them.
The Galaxy have been the best team in MLS during the second half of the season and they are playing like a team that believes they are the best team in the league.
Facing a more attack-minded Houston team could end up playing right into their hands, as they have shown that they're a very devastating team on the break, especially with Landon Donavon on the team.
There is hope for Houston, and they need not look further than LA's last game. It was evident in the second leg of the Western Conference final that Seattle did not fear the Galaxy counterattack, as they committed players forward to overcome their 3-0 deficit. Mind you, they were at home.
However, Seattle probably would not have been so bold had Donovan been in the lineup. He is the most important player to LA's counter with his speed and decision making in the final third.
His partnership with Robbie Keane has been, at many times, unstoppable.
In the end, the key to the match will be whether or not Houston can contain the Galaxy counterattack. They definitely can't sit back like they did last year, or they'll be inviting trouble. On the other hand, they'll need to be selective about when to push numbers forward or else they'll be cut apart by the speed of Donovan and skill of Keane.
It's a delicate line that Houston will need to toe if they have any chance of spoiling the Beckham finale known as MLS Cup 2012.
In the end, I think that LA are just too strong. They're the best team in the league, they're at home, and they'll have the buzz of Beckham's last game spurring them on.
PREDICTION: LA Galaxy 3-1 Houston Dynamo
The 2012 MLS Cup final will be a rematch of last year's final: LA Galaxy versus Houston Dynamo at the Home Depot Center, the same venue as last year. If that's not remarkable enough, then consider that these two teams finished fourth (LA) and fifth (Houston) in their respective conferences during the regular season.
What does this mean? Well for one, it turns out that home field advantage wasn't much of an advantage at all.
Sporting Kansas City in the East and San Jose Earthquakes in the West won their conferences by five and nine points respectively, giving them home field advantage right to the final. Both teams had strong regular seasons, especially at home, which they would be relying on come playoff time. However, both SKC and San Jose would lose their first round matchups to much lower seeded teams in the playoffs and see their season come to an abrupt end. Kansas City had 10 more points than Houston and San Jose had 12 more points than LA.
When you see what LA and Houston have done it is easy to discredit the regular season. Of course, here in Vancouver we painfully remember the eighth-seeded LA Kings powering past everything in their way to win the Stanley Cup.
So what does home field advantage mean in a two-leg series? Well, you get to play the second match at home, which means you know what you have to do to win in front of your crowd, and if it goes to extra time or penalties you have the advantage of playing on your home field.
The problem with this is that you really need to get a favorable result on the road in the first game so you don't have too much of a mountain to climb in the return leg (see DC United and Seattle).
You also have to consider that the team that has home field advantage has to travel twice. First to their away match, then back home. The lower seeded team gets to stay at home for the first match, without traveling, and then embark on a single trip for the second game.
DC United were a strange exception this season. They were the higher seeded team, but due to Hurricane Sandy they ended up hosting the first game in DC, with the return leg moved to New York. And guess what? That ended up working out just fine for United, as they had a 1-1 draw in the first leg before winning a thrilling 1-0 game in the second leg.
In the end, DC would fall in the Conference final when the tables were turned and they hosted the second leg after being faced with a 3-1 deficit from the first game in Houston. It proved too much to overcome.
Same thing happened to Seattle. They fell 3-0 to LA Galaxy on the road. A valiant effort saw them pull within a goal at 2-0 in the second leg, but a penalty kick awarded to the Galaxy broke their backs.
You could say that Houston is a team built for the playoffs and that the Galaxy have the best talent in the league, and that's why they are preparing to battle for the MLS Cup again.
But the results of the MLS Cup playoffs are sure make teams think about how they approach the long and hard MLS season and what is the best route for progressing into the postseason.
The second year in Major League Soccer for Vancouver Whitecaps FC was marketed as Round 2. We had a new coaching staff, some new players, and lots of optimism going into the new season.
Preseason had gone well in Arizona and Florida and everybody wanted to get the season started. Martin Rennie – in his first year coaching in MLS – liked the look of his Whitecaps FC squad and felt his team could challenge for a playoff spot. Getting there would be no easy task though.
Fast start
The season began in fine fashion as our 'Caps won their season opener at BC Place with a 2-0 victory against expansion side Montreal Impact. Optimism was high, but we all certainly knew that an opening day win does not make a season (see 2011 opening win vs. Toronto FC).
The next game, however, provided further proof that this would be a historic year. The boys got their first away win in MLS by beating Chivas USA 1-0 on a Jay DeMerit header. This was a sign that the mentality of this team had changed; Rennie was slowly but surely building a winning culture.
The next two games would end up as 0-0 draws, which meant the 'Caps remained undefeated and had shut out the opposition in every match. The run of form continued as the team achieved an MLS record for longest shutout streak to start a season.
It was a great start for the team, but this was only the beginning. Much work remained.
Proving their mettle
April saw the 'Caps hit with their first taste of adversity. A blown lead and first loss on the season at San Jose and a home loss to Sporting Kansas City could have sunk the ship early, but Vancouver persevered. The Blue and White grinded out a pair of 1-0 wins, at home to FC Dallas and on the road to Columbus Crew.
The early season success altered expectations. Suddenly fans and media were dreaming big, how good could this second year team really be?
Lessons learned
The season was steadily moving along until the 'Caps faced off against Toronto FC in the Amway Canadian Championship finals. A 2-1 aggregate loss to the team that would end up finishing dead last in MLS was nothing short of a massive disappointment.
Having been brought back down to earth, it became easier to reflect and evaluate. Clearly there was still work to be done.
Rome was not built in a day
Despite the positives from the first portion of the campaign, questions also remained from fans, media, and the club itself. What is the ultimate goal for this team? Is winning the only thing that matters? What about entertainment value, many asked? Was the team scoring enough goals? What about the young players, shouldn't they be playing more? Why aren't there more Canadian players?
These are all important questions that need to be posed and each of them are part of the values that the club is looking to instil moving forward. But it can also be easy to lose sight of the big picture. This remained only the second year for the club in MLS. All of these questions will be answered over time, but only so many aspects can be managed at once. Building a winning team, an entertaining team, a team filled with Canadian talent on the field – it's all a process. For now, the most important thing was to allow coach Rennie to put his own stamp on this team. He has built a winning culture at every club which he's coached, but that takes time and patience. If he could get this team to the playoffs in his first year, it would be a massive achievement and a big step in the right direction.
Tough decisions
Many coaches would not tinker with a team that was picking up points fairly regularly, but Rennie had made it clear that he was not just building for this year; he was looking at a team that could be one of the best for years to come.
Tough decisions had to be made before the season, and it was felt at the midway point of the season that more changes were needed.
This was not an easy time for players to come into the team. It's never easy to adjust to a new team, a new city, a new culture, and a new league. It's especially difficult to do it in the middle of the season during a stretch of nine out of 13 games on the road.
Results were mixed, but sometimes it takes one step back to take two steps forward.
Making history
With 39 days away from home and a rough winless stretch, it would have been easy for the team to fall apart and look for excuses, but you never heard that from the coaches or players. The team showed great resiliency, and in the end the season's body of work achieved the main goal at the beginning of the year – a first ever playoff spot for a Canadian MLS club.
Their reward? A date with the defending MLS Cup champions, the star-studded LA Galaxy, on the road no less.
In the end the boys gave them the fright of their lives – probably much more than they expected. Not only did we score an early goal, but we also nearly doubled the lead to 2-0 with 20 minutes to go. Unfortunately it was not to be, as the Galaxy eventually came back to win 2-1.
I was so proud of the performance in our first playoff game and it just reinforced what I already knew: we belonged in the playoffs after competing all season long in a tough Western Conference.
Final thoughts
We have a coach in Martin Rennie who is not afraid of making big decisions. Of course not everyone will agree with every decision – you can't please everyone. And not every decision will be correct either. As a coach you make some choices that will work and some that will not. The key is that everyone learns from the process. That is why I am really excited for next year.
This team has come a long way from last year and has shown it can compete with the best teams in MLS. Now Rennie and his coaching staff have a season under their belt and are more familiar with what works in this league. They will also have a squad of players that are also more accustomed to playing in North America, with the physicality and the travel.
Of course there will be more changes, but having made the playoffs this year, expectations will again be raised. There will be highs and lows again next season, as there always will be, but I'm confident that the best is yet to come.
So that was the season that was…
The build-up to last Thursday's inaugural MLS playoff game had that familiar postseason buzz that 'Caps fans know all too well. What was also exciting to see was the amount of attention that Whitecaps FC drew from being in the playoffs.
Of course, the Blue and White filled a certain void (no NHL hockey) for Vancouver sports fans last week, and although it did not result in a win in LA, the performance of Martin Rennie's side left some good feelings.
The feedback from media and supporters after Thursday's game was one of pride, as most were aware of the tall task that faced the 'Caps against the star-studded Galaxy.
The contest required spirit and commitment from Vancouver, and that was seen in abundance at The Home Depot Center. By giving the defending MLS champions a severe test of their credentials, Whitecaps FC might have even played a key role in the destiny of this year's MLS Cup title.
Traditionally, playoff exits leave an empty feeling. In this case, however, there was an acknowledgement to the efforts made by Rennie's side in LA and indications by observers of how it offered a glimpse into a promising future.
Vancouver Sun sports columnist Iain MacIntyre was particularly struck by what he witnessed on Thursday, as he drew comparisons to where the club was in 1977 and how it built towards an NASL Soccer Bowl title by 1979.
There was also an intriguing - some might say prophetic - tweet from former 'Caps and Seattle Sounders FC head coach Alan Hinton (@alanhinton11): "Whitecaps FC will within two years be the number two franchise behind Seattle in MLS…I know, I have been there!"
As for yours truly, the 2012 season was one where every match offered an opportunity to Whitecaps FC. Building and growing as an MLS outfit were, in many ways, the club's objectives this season. In other words - 2011 was about establishment; 2012 was about strengthening.
Clubs that have shown steady growth in MLS are usually amongst the league's elite. While that challenge lies in front of Whitecaps FC, this second season suggests Vancouver are now following a similar path.
While it would have been nice for the playoff journey to continue, much was achieved this season. What is really exciting is how things can improve even more, starting in 2013.
Hunger and desire are bedrocks of successful sides, and it would not surprise this soccer scribe if those are the driving influences behind a memorable Whitecaps FC campaign in the New Year.
As we enter the quiet of this offseason, we take positive vibes from a season that gave strong glimpses of very bright days ahead.
Time to prepare for the next chapter of this great journey!
Till we reconvene in the spring…
What a difference a year makes!
This time last year, Whitecaps FC were wrapping up what was a turbulent inaugural season in MLS, and head coach Martin Rennie was preparing for a postseason training camp to familiarize himself with his new squad.
Our MLS Cup Playoff experience was a distant one last year, with our television screens showing the unfolding drama in the cities of our league rivals. Fast forward to this week, and our engagement for the MLS postseason is at its highest level. On Thursday night, Whitecaps FC make history as the first Canadian club to take part in the MLS Cup Playoffs.
The midweek trip to Southern California was an effort earned over 34 regular matches by the Blue and White and sign of significant improvement for a burgeoning MLS club.
Five victories and 15 points more were achieved than at this point last year, with only MLS Supporters' Shield winners San Jose Earthquakes and playoff-bound D.C. United making larger turnarounds statistically.
Vancouver's 43 points was also the highest total achieved in a single MLS season by a Canadian club, with expansion club Montreal Impact also joining the 'Caps in passing the 40-point barrier in 2012.
The club's first three wins away from home, plus 12 clean sheets also contributed to the improvement, but even Rennie knows there is plenty of room for further progress.
Much of that can be set aside for 2013. Right now, Whitecaps FC are six results away from an MLS Cup title. If anyone knows the recent postseason history of MLS, it is not as improbable for Vancouver, as it initially looks.
This past weekend offered a very good 'dress rehearsal' for the clash with the Galaxy at The Home Depot Center. Like LA, Real Salt Lake can be a formidable foe when they are at home.
The type of tests that Whitecaps FC endured in Saturday's 0-0 draw were not only good for them tactically, but also mentally. Shutting down a potent RSL attack required organization, commitment, and spirit.
The 'Caps not only showed those characteristics in hostile territory, they left the Rio Tinto Stadium pitch feeling confident and full of anticipation for Thursday night.
Relishing the opportunity that is the 2012 MLS Cup Playoffs will be a big part of the game plan in Carson, California. Few, if any, expect a Whitecaps FC postseason run, but Rennie's squad know their chance to become MLS champions is no more or less than any of the other nine contenders that will be involved.
Long-time 'Caps supporters will be the first to reveal their excitement at this time of year, as the club's playoff folklore has done much to shape the identity of the Blue and White.
One only needs to look back to the championship years of 1979 and 2006 when Whitecaps FC triumphed against the odds. Now its 2012 and we're in that familiar position again.
The key is to enjoy the journey, starting Thursday. Any achievement from this point on will be greeted with delight and excitement, as few outside Whitecaps FC nation believe Vancouver is capable of achieving anything in this year's playoffs.
I say, "Let the skeptics think that way…we'll worry about getting a job done on Thursday...and beyond."
The playoff train is at the station!
All aboard for LA!

As we look forward to playing in our first Major League Soccer (MLS) playoff game against the mighty Los Angeles Galaxy, the task at hand appears quite daunting. The Galaxy are the reigning MLS Cup champions, and they boast three of the top players in the league in Robbie Keane, Landon Donovan and of course, David Beckham.
If you are looking at this game on paper it is hard for anyone to really believe that we have any chance of going to LA and getting a result. Fortunately the game is played on the field, and not on paper. In fact, our boys can look at some playoff history that will show them they can do it.
To be the best …
It was back in 1979 when we were to face the cream of the North American Soccer League (NASL), the two-time defending Soccer Bowl champions New York Cosmos. In their team were World Cup winners Franz Beckenbauer (Germany) and Carlos Alberto (Brazil), as well as Giorgio Chinaglia (Italy) and Johan Neeskens (Netherlands) – the latter of whom led Holland to the runners-up spot in back-to-back FIFA World Cups in 1974 and 1978. Not to mention the wealth of other talented players they had on their team.
The Cosmos had finished with the best record in the NASL (24W-6L). In order to get past them, we needed not only to beat them once, but twice in a two-match home-and-home series – or in an extra mini-game should we win one match each.
We had confidence from beating them twice during the regular season, but this was the playoffs, and they had the added incentive of hosting the Soccer Bowl at their home venue – Giants Stadium.
Up against the odds
I have to say in looking at both teams' rosters, our chances did not look too good. But we knew as a team that once both teams got out on the field that we were not going to be outworked by New York.
There was no doubt that there was more quality in their team, but mentally we felt that we had the edge. We were confident that we were more of a team and that we really trusted each other and could overcome anything that the Cosmos threw at us. But as they say, talk is cheap, and in the end you have to do your talking on the field.
Who wants it more?
We played the first game at home in front of a sell-out crowd (32,875) at Empire Stadium. The game was tense, hard fought, and very close. But we remained focused throughout the match and held strong. Eventually they were the first to blink and we came away with a 2-0 victory on goals by 'Wee' Willie Johnston and Trevor Whymark. The job was half done, but there was still plenty of work left to do going back to New York.
Even winning the first game did not change people's opinions; the prevailing thought was still that the vaunted Cosmos had too much firepower for us and that would show with them playing at home.
When you go into a game as an underdog it is said that you really have nothing to lose and can play freely. There is some truth to that – there was definitely more pressure on New York than us – but we had a lot to lose. We had a chance to get to the Soccer Bowl and we were not going to let this team stand in our way.
We lost the game in a shootout, which meant that we would immediately play a 30-minute mini-game. The mini-game also ended tied, meaning the contest would go to a second shootout. After going toe-to-toe for almost four hours, we eventually came out on top.
David had conquered Goliath.
Our 'Caps face a mighty challenge against the Galaxy and will have to play their best game to advance. But I know firsthand that even the most talented of teams can be beaten.
The first step is believing that you will win.
Before the season, Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie set a goal to make the MLS Cup Playoffs. That may have seemed a lofty goal for a club coming off of a last-place finish in 2011, but after a long season the 'Caps achieved that goal. Along the way the team got their first MLS road victory, set a record for the longest shutout streak to start an MLS season, and put together an impressive home record by losing only three of 17 matches at BC Place.
We will most definitely be underdogs going into next week's playoff clash versus LA Galaxy on the road, but one fact remains: this team is one of only 10 clubs left that can win MLS Cup this season.

More cameras
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Canon has expanded its lineup of entry-level DSLRs, adding two new higher-resolution models to its range. The Canon EOS 750D and EOS 760D are both built around a new 24.2Mp APS-C sensor and offer the same set of features in slightly different shells, with one camera body designed with the more experienced photographer in mind. Let's take a closer look at how the two models differ.
With an 18-Mpix CMOS sensor the Canon EOS 1200D, otherwise known as the Rebel T5 in the US and Kiss X70 in Asia, is the latest entry-level model DSLR from the maker. Read on to find out how this newly updated model performs.
The Nikon D5300 is the successor to the year old D5200 featuring a similar 24-Mpix CMOS sensor of it predecessor but lacking an optical low pass filter for improved clarity. Read on to find out how well the new camera performs.
Introduced in July this year, the EOS 70D at first sight seems like a regular update to the maker's mid-range EOS 60D model. It shares a number of features with the firm's existing SLR range including a 19-point cross-type phase detection AF system, a 3-inch (1.040M dot) articulated touchscreen and built-in WiFi connectivity with remote viewing and image transfer. The camera can also shoot at up to 7fps and has 1080/30p video recording with stereo sound using an optional external microphone.
Following on from the enormous success of the OMD- E-M5, the firm has now upgraded its flagship PEN E-P model with a '5-axis' stabilized 16-MPix MOS sensor. Read on to find out how well it performs in our labs.
Following on from the distinctive styling of the K-30, the new Pentax K-50 is a mid-range, sensitively priced DSLR featuring a tried-and-tested stabilized 16-MPix CMOS sensor with fine-tuned image processing and sensor sensitivity of up to ISO 51,200. Read on to see how well it performs in our labs.
After the runaway success of the full-frame 35mm f/1.4, Sigma is taking the initiative with this new ultra-high speed, pro-level standard zoom designed for APS-C format cameras. The specification is particularly promising, but does it mean the end of fixed focal lenses for APS-C? Read on to see how well this cutting-edge model performs in our labs.
With its compact and lightweight body, the Canon EOS 100D / Rebel SL1 / Kiss X7 is the smallest DSLR in the firm's line-up. While it adopts a similar performing sensor to the EOS 700D, the body is around 25% of the size of that model by volume and presents its own set of challenges when selecting lenses for it. In this review, we've taken a look at the optical quality of 130 different lenses fitted to the camera but this time we're also making some limited recommendations about the handling and video capabilities.
This is the third and concluding part of the series of choosing the best performing lenses for the APS-C format EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i, where we take a look at wide-angle primes, telephoto lenses and so-called super-zooms. The 18.1-Mpix sensor used in EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i is similar to those in Canon's other current APS-C models, including the new EOS 100D / REBEL SL1 and EOS 7D, so our results may still be helpful when choosing your next lens, even if you don't own this particular model.
This is the second part of the series of choosing suitable lenses for the APS-C format EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i, where we'll discuss 'standard' lenses (zooms and primes) as well as short telephotos. The 18.1-Mpix 'Hybrid CMOS' sensor used is similar to those in Canon's other current APS-C models, including the new EOS 100D (REBEL SL1) and semi-pro EOS 7D, so our findings may be valuable even if you don't use a EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i.
Canon's lightest and smallest DSLR to date the EOS 100D (aka Rebel SL1 / Kiss X7) is unashamedly aimed at the entry-level market. However, boasting a 2nd-generation 'Hybrid' 18-Mpix CMOS sensor and many features of the upper entry-level EOS 700D, this minuscule model is an intriguing proposition. But is it simply a case of cramming in a similar sensor and miniaturizing the rest? Read on to find out. In this review we also reveal the results of the Sony SLT Alpha 37 sensor.
After comparing the imaging chain of the full-frame Canon EOS 5D Mk III across a raft of lenses, we've now turned our attention to the APS-C format EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i. The 18.1-Mpix 'Hybrid CMOS' sensor in this camera is similar to those of the same size and pixel count used in the firm's other models, including the semi-pro EOS 7D, so it may still be of interest even if you don't own a EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i.
To website
The Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i is the company's latest addition to its novice-oriented 'Rebel' series. With more than two decades of continuous success in its film and digital incarnations, these little SLRs have been improved and refined to the point that Canon's biggest challenge seems to be finding new ways to distinguish its updated models. Place the new EOS 700D / Rebel T5i alongside its predecessor the EOS 650D and the differences are so minimal to be of little real importance.
Read the article
Replacing the 650D the 700D becomes the new flagship DSLR in their 'EOS for Beginners' range. Continuing to feature a 18-megapixel APS-C 'Hybrid CMOS' sensor, 100 - 25,600 ISO range, 5fps burst shooting and 9-point AF the new model is almost identical however. Costing $1099 it's up against stiff competition, with rivals such as the Nikon D5200 and Sony Alpha 58 packing more resolution for less money.
To website
The Canon EOS 700D / Rebel T5i replaces the very short-lived Canon EOS 650D / T4i but is almost indistinguishable from it in terms of design, operation and specification. Our tests have found the image quality and performance of both cameras to be identical and they use the same batteries and accessories as well. Accordingly, this review is a very slightly modified version of the EOS 650 review we posted in the summer of 2012. We've retained product images of the EOS 650D where there's no meaningful change in design, and except where indicated, any comments in the body of this review which reference the Canon EOS 650D / T4i are equally relevant to the Canon EOS 700D / T5i and vis-versa.

Sony seems to have a liking for doing things differently to other makers: hybrid cameras with bigger sensors, compact cameras with serious, professional attitude and single lens reflex cameras with fixed, translucent mirrors. Its new SLT Alpha 58 camera shows just how good a strategy this is, close to the quality of their Alpha 77 at half the price!
As the boom in hybrid mirrorless cameras continues and some have questioned the future of the entry-level DSLRs, can the launch of the smallest and lightest DSLR to date revitalize this market? We preview the key specifications of the new super small Canon 100D (Rebel SL1) and take a look at the new EOS 700D (Rebel T5i) and updated EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM 'kit' lens at the same time.

Lenses tested on D7100
Is DXoMark going to test some lenses on Nikon D7100 and publish articles regarding the test and comparison results? Really hope that there will be similar tests conducted on Nikon DX bodies.

Re: Lenses tested on D7100
Hello everybody. First of all thanks to the DXOMARK team for their outstanding work. It would indeed be nice to have the newer Nikon 24MP DX bodies tested. I think that many people are intested in buying some new lenses but are waiting to see how they perform on the 24MP sensors (d3200, d5200, d7100). It will be very interesting to see the real impact of those extra pixels in terms of actual image resolution ? Greetings everybody.

Still a great phone
There might be no major upgrade but the T5i still has the latest and best features today. But if you are looking for "beginners" or entry-level dslr, you should consider the Rebel SL1. Read the review at http://www.squidoo.com/canon-eos-rebel-sl1-review

Young Irish writer/director Gerard Barrett follows up his 2013 debut Pilgrim Hill with the equally as gritty Glassland, a film which makes the absolute most of its two excellent leads to present a powerful study of the devastating personal battles being fought behind myriad ordinary doors. Here, Barrett addresses the same themes of isolation, despair and parental relationships as in his first film, but shifts his focus from the empty expanses of rural Ireland to the claustrophobic confines of the nondescript working class backstreets of Dublin.
In modern day Columbia, just as in the rest of the world, the gap between rich and poor grows ever wider, swallowing entire generations in the process. This is the bleak reality at the heart of Gente De Bien, the third feature from Colombian director Franco Lolli which, although nothing new, is a solid entry in the enduring stable of Latin American social cinema.
"There can be no murder in paradise." That is the intriguing backbone of both novelist Tom Rob Smith's 2008 best-seller and this rip-roaring adaptation, which casts the multi-faceted Tom Hardy in the role of a battle-hardy member of the military police in Stalin-era Soviet Union.

LITTLE ROCK, AR-- A 12 year-old girl fights a possible case of parasitic meningitis.
Traci Hardig, the girl's mother, is praying a medical miracle.
"I am a determined mom that I'm going to get to take her home with me," said Hardig.
She says her 12-year-old daughter, Kali, went swimming recently, but quickly started getting sick shortly after.
"I kinda brushed it off that she was really tired. We let her go to sleep. When she didn't wake up the next day, I knew that wasn't Kali,"said Hardig.
So Arkansas Children's Hospital is where Hardig took her daughter for emergency treatment.
Hardig says the doctor told her Kali has symptoms of parasitic meningitis.
"He says it is a very fast moving disease. Normally, if it moves as fast as it could, she could be gone by the weekend," said Hardig.
Kali made it through the weekend, but right now she is in a medically induced coma.
The Centers for Disease Control says with parasitic meningitis, a parasite enters the body through the nose, mainly happening when a person goes swimming in warm freshwater places.
The sickness travels to the brain, where it destroys brain tissue.
"If your child has been swimming anywhere this summer and they start complaining about their head hurting and running a fever or just not acting normal, go to the doctor," said Hardig.
Health department leaders say the illness is so rare, only 2 people have survived in the United States.
"I am praying Kali is going to be the 3rd one to beat this. I want her to be number 3," said Kali.
Health department leaders could only confirm they are investigating a possible case. They haven't shut down any bodies of water or pools as a result.
The health department says symptoms of parasitic meningitis include fever, headache, vomiting and stiff neck.
If you or child experiences one or more of these symptoms, go to the doctor immediately.
The centers for disease control says to prevent the illness avoid warm freshwater, like lakes or rivers, during periods of high water temperature and low water levels.
Also hold the nose shut or use nose clips when swimming. Plus, avoid digging in, or stirring up, the sediment in shallow areas.
Health department leaders say the illness is so rare and serious, only five Arkansans have been diagnosed in the last 40 years. All five of them died.

New security standard to boost agency trust, use of mobile devices
Friday - 5/3/2013, 5:46am EDT
Agencies soon will have a minimum set of cyber standards for securing their iPhones, Androids and BlackBerry devices.
The Chief Information Officers Council and the Homeland Security Department are receiving comments on the draft version of mobile cyber standards called for under the Digital Government Strategy.
The document is split into two parts: a security architecture and a security baseline.
"Essentially, what's being published is a narrative of how the baseline will work, a framework by which an agency can walk through understanding what their mission requirements are, working to balance out the economics against capabilities against security, and trying to find that sweet spot, and then moving into the many risk areas — what we are calling tailored risk, operations, finance, security, etc.," said Kevin Cox, the program manager for the information security tools tiger team of the CIO Council, at TechAmerica's 23rd Annual CIO Survey Conference in Washington, D.C. Thursday. "From that framework, once the agency has worked through that, they will have a good sense of what their architecture will look like. Then, they can go to the reference architecture and build out what the ultimate mobility will look like for their agency."
Cox said the working group is overlaying the mobile cyber standards with the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Special Publication 800-53 Revision 4 on security and privacy controls, which was released earlier this week, so agencies can focus on the specific security standards for mobile computing.
For instance, NIST added a section on mobility in the operational environment considerations. The section also includes specific access controls for mobile devices and promotes the idea of tailoring the codes for specific environments — fixed versus mobile.
Cox said the CIO Council has been working on the secure baseline and architecture for several months.
"Two key events we've held, one in December and one in March, held up at NIST was a technical exchange meeting to really brief out what we were finding, brief out the direction and, again, receive agency feedback and input on this. We've also had input from industry as much as we can," Cox said. "One key thing that we have looked to do is to align as much as possible with the existing security standards that they already need to meet. That's why it was key that we aligned everything with 800-53 Revision 4 so it wasn't a new set of requirements coming down, but simply a scaled down overlay of what you need to focus on specifically for mobility."
The CIO Council, NIST, and the departments of Defense and Homeland Security will review agency comments over the next few weeks with a goal of releasing a final version by May 23 — the one-year anniversary of the Digital Government Strategy, Cox said.
Benefits are clear
While the CIO Council finalizes the security standards, agencies are moving forward with mobile computing. Many have pilots or full production approaches to mobile devices and apps.
But several CIOs said the security baseline and architecture will provide several long-term benefits.
Simon Szykman, CIO, Commerce Department
Simon Szykman, the Commerce Department CIO, said while he hasn't seen the latest draft document, the obvious advantage is how standards improve security across the board.
"There are other advantages as well. There are some organizations that don't have the level of depth and skill sets and maturity in the mobility area to really do it well themselves, so it also saves them the effort of having to struggle to develop that kind of a baseline for their own use," he said. "The other benefit is it helps create some type of standardization so there is some type of standards that provide at least some minimum waterline everyone has to reach."
Szykman said the baseline and architecture also will help vendors because they will know where to start when developing mobile apps and software.
He compares the security baseline and architecture to the Federal Desktop Core Configuration standards developed in 2008. The FDCC, now called the U.S. Government Configuration Baseline, helped usher in a more secure and simpler desktop operating system environment.
DoD's Brian Teeple, principle director to the deputy CIO, said products that meet the security baseline also could be vetted once by the government and used by everyone, which would cut down the time and costs.
DoD has been one of the leaders in the use of mobile devices, and late Thursday announced it approved Samsung's Knox Android and BlackBerry 10 operating systems for use on military networks.
It also will award a contract for mobile device management software in the very near future.
Priorities remain the same
Security remains one of the top priorities for agency CIOs.
TechAmerica's survey found CIOs listed addressing budget reductions, ensuring a properly trained workforce and cybersecurity as their top three priorities.
George DelPrete, a principal with Grant Thornton, oversaw the survey development, and said a big challenge for CIOs is how best to secure mobile devices.
"There are a lot fewer controls on mobile devices than there are within a network, and it's creating great opportunities for cyber terrorists," he said. "CIOs are still working to try to navigate through that."
DelPrete added CIOs also see the potential of mobility-as-a-service, and said they need help around data sharing and retention policies.
He said there is growing acceptance of a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy. Almost 48 percent of the CIOs said they have such a policy, but federal IT managers also said they needed a better approach to overseeing how mobile apps are developed and used within the agency.
DelPrete added CIOs see great promise in pairing identity management with mobile devices as a way to improve security.
Darren Ash, the CIO of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said his agency recently implemented a BYOD policy. He said about 10 percent of the workforce is voluntarily taking part in the BYOD initiative.
Ash added NRC also is piloting mobile devices for nuclear reactor construction inspectors.
"What we want to focus on, what we have to focus on really, is around the concept of working from anywhere," Ash said. "But really, fundamentally, it is the information. So when we think about application modernization, app design, everything about how our employees work and interact, we have to design around the information layer. We know as we modernize, if we have to re-modernize, if we have to redo something in a couple of years, I'd rather have dealt with the information first and foremost, and we can deal with the presentation layer later."
Ash added NRC hasn't gone down the path to develop mobile apps yet, instead focusing on capabilities and tools for their inspectors, such as recording data and sending it back to the server.
But Ash said NRC will begin the app development process in the coming months with an eye toward what types of apps will help employees do their job better.
DoD's Teeple also said application rationalization is a major priority for the military. He said DoD is virtualizing apps and reducing the number they are using before they move software to the cloud.
There were several other interesting highlights from the survey.
One is that CIOs said OMB's 25-point IT plan is past its prime. They said while things such as moving commodity IT to the cloud and data center consolidation will live on, and the plan did what is was supposed to do, it is no longer the driving strategy.
CIOs also said OMB's memo on CIO authorities from last fall hasn't had a major impact.
"CIOs are working through challenging times and they need to do things differently, need better control over IT spending, and the acquisition process needs to be better for IT," DelPrete said summing up the conclusions from the survey.

Burt ReynoldsBurt Reynolds: The Evening Shade star's 1996 divorce proceeded him filing bankruptcy to the tune of $10 million in the red, though he kickstarted a career resurgence just a year later with his Oscar-nominated performance of XXX director Jack Horner in 1997's Boogie Nights, parlaying the unexpected accolades into a steady stream of profitable show biz gigs thereafter.
Toni Braxton: The ravishing R&B star, a six-time Grammy winner who's sole more than 40 million albums, has declared bankruptcy twice, both in 1998 and 2010.
Teresa Giudice: The Real Housewives of New Jersey star and her husband Joe filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the fall of 2009, claiming her husband's real estate investments plummeted with the economy, leaving them more than $8,700,000 in the red.
Willie Nelson: The On The Road Again singer was deep in debt to the taxman in 1990, claiming in court papers that he owed the IRS more than $16.7 million when filing for bankruptcy that year.
Suge Knight: The rap mover-and-shaker -- whose Death Row label spawned stars like Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg -- filed for bankruptcy in 2006, claiming in court papers he had just $11 to his name.

Cyndi Lauper: The True Colors singer was not seeing green during some early career struggles -- filing for bankruptcy in 1981, after her group Blue Angel disbanded and was sued by their manager -- but put herself on the map just two years later with her enduring pop anthem, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.

Gary Coleman: The diminutive Diff'rent Strokes star sure could have used Mr. Drummond's help in 1999, when he filed for bankruptcy. The late child star, who played Arnold Drummond on the hit 80s comedy, said medical expenses and mismanagement were the reasons he was out of cash.

You've brought a new dog into your home—congratulations! Now comes your first dog-training challenge: house training.
House training is not an exact science—there's no sure-fire formula or timetable that will work for every dog. The important thing is to make it a positive, not a stressful, experience. Being attentive, patient and consistent are the keys to success, along with the following dos and don'ts:
Do: Closely supervise your dog. Limit the dog's run of the house to the one or two rooms where you are able to see her at all times. Dogs usually show "pre-pottying" behavior such as sniffing, circling and walking with stiff back legs; all signs that you should get her to the potty area ASAP! As the training begins to take hold, you can slowly enlarge her territory as she learns where the potty area is—and that the house is not a toilet!
Don't: Yell at or spank a dog for a mess she made earlier. If you catch her in the act, it's okay to startle her by clapping or making a noise (hopefully this will stop her long enough for you to whisk her outside). But a dog will not learn anything by being scolded for a past accident, even one a few minutes old. Just clean it up and soldier on.
Do: Offer big, enthusiastic praise when she gets it right. Whether your goal is for your dog to eliminate on pee pads indoors or to do it outside, you have to really throw a party for her when she succeeds. Lavish her with praise, affection and some yummy treats!
Don't: Rub her face in it. Ever!!! In addition to this action making your dog fear you, she's incapable of making the connection that it's the act of soiling indoors you object to—to her, you just really hate pee and poop. If she thinks that the waste itself is what you dislike, she'll only get sneakier about hiding it from you.
For more detailed advice on house training specific to your pet, please visit our Virtual Pet Behaviorist articles on Weekend Crate Training, House Training Your Puppy, House Training Your Adult Dog or House Training Your Puppy Mill Dog.
Had a friend that would grab up the pup as soon as she saw it have an accident and take it outside. She actually taught the pup that if she wanted to go outside to play, just poop on the floor and you get to go out. It took many weeks to teach the poor little puppy that outside was for pooping. She did that by saving every accident and putting them outside in the spot where she wanted the pup to go. The pup finally figured it out.
I got a chuckle out of the training of the puppy.
And sometimes its easy to get the response you don't want. I have made such a habit of walking my dog am & pm that she now feels the only time to do her thing is out back in the field near the woods. NOT on her run! At least I don't have much cleanup to do.
My wife and I foster rescue puppies, and we've found that the absolute gold standard for potty training is to associate pooping outside with a command (like "Go Potty") and rewards. We had a heck of a time figuring this out with our own two dogs, but our most recent foster would not only ring a bell by the door when she needed to go outside, but if we were going to bed and sending the dogs out for a business trip, she'd go on command (while our other two knuckleheads chased each other around the yard).
We've also seen some good results with associating it with walks, but instead of taking your dog out and then returning home as soon as business is completed, don't leave your yard until your dog poops, then reward him/her with a walk.
I foster rescued puppies also. One thing I've found is to keep giving the command, "Go Potty" (or some prefer "Do your business"), AS the pup is "going." Don't give praise AS the pup is going, because "Good Dog!" or whatever may be associated with the command to go. They get praise and sometimes a treat as well, but only when they're finished, especially when they come to me as well!
If a pup will or won't go outside, and then consistently comes back in and pees in the house, need to be certain there's not an infection or some other medical condition. I also paper train, but some don't. Two people I know who travel a great deal with their dogs, have trained them to use the "pads." Whether in an airport, or going into a facility for therapy work, they both say they there may not be any place for the dog to "go," so they put down the pad in a remote corner, give the command, and it's done!
I agree with Bill the "party" or in his case walks don't happen until you do your business. We have 3/4 of an acre fenced in and dog sit/ board as many as 8 dogs at a time. We all go out many times a day, but some of the younger dogs start playing then "forget" to go. So if anyone is having accidents in the house they go out on a leash and walk around the general potty area. Once they go we start the party. BTW is say "hurry up" instead of "go potty". Since they are not people I don't think they get a shy bladder under pressure :-)
I always have water in the crates with my puppies. I actually use crates that are bigger and do not use dividers to make the crate smaller. If a pup has to go, a pup has to go. Puppies need water to help digest their food and if I recall from other readings they should always have access to water. You have to just take them out to potty before you leave. I put towels in the crate and if they pee before I get back, I just wash the towels. I have had no problems house training or crate training.
"Hurry up" was the first thing out of my mouth when I starting training our last puppy to do her business outside. It stuck. She's now 12 years old, and still responds to the command each time.
For a while, I was a little embarrassed that someone would hear me say "hurry up" and think I was trying to get her to pee or poop faster. Then I realized that the command got the job done, and she got praised when she was successful. Heck, the dog doesn't know what the words mean. If other people don't like the words, the heck with 'em. :-)

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Miami University softball team dropped a pair of games to Western Michigan on Friday. The RedHawks fell in the opener, 9-4. They then dropped a 4-0 decision in the nightcap. Miami is now 16-19 overall and 4-4 in the Mid-American Conference. The Broncos improve to 13-24 overall and 4-4 in the MAC.
A grand slam home run in the bottom of the second broke a scoreless tie and gave Western Michigan a 4-0 lead in the opener. The RedHawks were able to get one right back in the top of the third. With one out, junior shortstop Kylie McChesney doubled to right field. A groundout by sophomore outfielder Taylor Shuey moved McChesney up to third. She was able to score on the next play on an error by the Broncos third baseman.
WMU added two more in the bottom of the third to take a 6-1 advantage.
Miami got back into the game with three runs in the top of the sixth. Shuey led off with a single, while junior outfielder Tiyona Marshall was hit by a pitch. A single from senior second baseman Kristy Arbour scored Shuey and made it 6-2. Senior catcher Kayla Ledbetter followed with a double that brought home Marshall. Junior outfielder Bree Lipscomb completed the RedHawk scoring with a single down the right field line that scored Arbour and pulled Miami to within two at 6-4.
Unfortunately the comeback was not to be for the RedHawks, as Western Michigan answered with three runs in the bottom of the sixth to take a 9-4 win.
Shuey finished the opener 2-for-3 with one run scored. Arbour was 1-for-4 with one RBI and one run scored.
It was a pitching duel between Miami's senior Paige Myers and WMU's Erin Binkowski in the nightcap. The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the fifth. The Broncos broke through for four runs on six hits to secure the 4-0 win.
Shuey, Lipscomb, McChesney and sophomore right fielder Tanya Busby each recorded hits for the RedHawks in game two.
Due to the potential for bad weather on Sunday in the DeKalb area, Miami will now take on Northern Illinois in a doubleheader Saturday. The first game will begin at 3 p.m. (EDT).

We did not ask for this.
We did not set our platters
before Death and beg,
"Please, if you will,
More suffering."
We did not make secret pacts
with our cells in the night,
urging them to darker deeds.
We did not stand
in the middle of the field
and call the lightning down.
Somehow, we were chosen-
As oaks before they are felled,
As fruit, crushed into wine.
And so it is.
So let us choose
To unearth what was once lost to us,
display it, sparkling, on our persons.
To unlock, unbar those doors
that shield us from one another.
To welcome ourselves home again-
grow warm before the fire,
laugh at the lightning,
savor the wine.

The Florida Times-Union reported the four-year deal is worth slightly more than $20.6 million and includes a fifth-year team option.
Bortles, the third overall pick, will also receive a $13.34 million signing bonus, according to the paper.
"We are excited to get Blake under contract as we finish up minicamp," Jaguars general manager David Caldwell said in a statement.

He knows where he needs to get better and is willing to do the work. He's a down to earth guy, a blue collar guy and he just wants to be the best he can be."

Lionfish, lionfish, everywhere! In the news, on the reefs (both artificial and natural), in shallow waters and way down deep. You'd think every man, woman and child would know that lionfish are an issue by now, but it's not so.
Read the entire 2015 Florida Saltwater Fishing Regulations Guide online! Our unique digital edition allows you to page through the entire guide, just as if you were reading the magazine.
Within state waters of the Atlantic and Gulf, the snapper aggregate bag limit is 10 fish per harvester unless the species rule specifies that it is not included in the aggregate. This means that a harvester can retain a total of 10 snappers in any combination of species.
For most species, Florida's recreational bag limits apply to all state waters off Florida, which extend out to 3 nautical miles on the Atlantic and out to 9 nautical miles on the Gulf...
