Stewart leaving Meadowdale to take job at Garfield
Mark Stewart led the Mavericks' football team to a record of 87-49 and nine playoff appearances and seven state playoff appearances in his 13 years at Meadowdale.
Monday he informed that team he feels the need to try it again.
After turning the Meadowdale football team from doormat to perennial state contender, Stewart announced that he is stepping down to take a similar position at Garfield, which went 1-8 this past season and is overshadowed by schools like Skyline and Bothell in Kingco and the school's own basketball program.
"It's got potential and you can build something there and the challenge is to see if you can do it again," Stewart said of the Garfield job. "It certainly would be easier to stay (at Meadowdale). But if I had to pick a time I'd pick a time when I'm looking out at good football players ... committed to the program and doing it then instead of when it's thin."
When Stewart arrived at Meadowdale before the 2000 season he found a once-proud program in bad shape. The Mavericks were coming off of an 0-9 season and were in desperate need of direction. Stewart provided it and over the next 13 seasons built Meadowdale into one of the biggest football powers in Wesco.
Stewart finished his time at Meadowdale with a record of 87-49 and guided Meadowdale to nine playoff appearances and seven state playoff appearances. This past season's loss to Eastside Catholic in the quad-district playoffs was the first time the Mavericks didn't advance to the state playoffs since 2006.
"It's a huge loss for us not only for our football team but our community," said Meadowdale athletic director Chris Murphy. "Mark is a coach that understands the bigger picture. He works so well with kids and developing them as football players and helping them become fine young men."
Many of those "young men" were at a meeting Stewart called on Monday in which he informed them he was starting a new chapter in his coaching career. Stewart said it was an emotional meeting and that he stressed to his now former players that it was up to them to keep Meadowdale football moving forward.
"Some of these kids you've known since seventh, eighth grade or Little League and you want to coach them until they leave," Stewart said. "Obviously it was pretty emotional. There's no other way to put it. My whole point to them is they are Meadowdale football and it's on them to keep it going as they will. It's something bigger than me or them as individuals."
As for hiring a new coach, Murphy said he plans to officially open the job up to applicants next week and that he'll be looking to fill the position quickly.
"We want a good fit that can get the program moving again," Murphy said.
Glacier Peak head coach Rory Rosenbach, who has had a healthy rivalry with Stewart and Meadowdale since the school was established, recounted a story of when he knew Stewart was going to be a formidable opponent. In overtime of a game between the two teams, Glacier Peak ran a reverse that Rosenbach thought would catch Meadowdale off-guard. Instead a Maverick defender was in the right spot waiting for the GP runner and threw him for a 10-yard loss.
"He remembered something from a game he had scouted weeks earlier and was ready for it," Rosenbach said of Stewart. "That's when I knew that Mark was a coach that was prepared and had his team ready."
Rosenbach said he was surprised that Stewart was moving on and felt Wesco was lesser for it.
"He's a great coach and a fantastic guy," Rosenbach said. "Garfield is lucky to get him and it's quite a loss for Wesco."
For Stewart, who played for the University of Washington as a linebacker from 1979-82, the move to Garfield represents a new challenge and a return to a place he coached and taught at 20 years ago.
"It's more about the challenge to see if you can go to a place where I think that a lot of coaches would say 'There's not this, there's not that in the city,'" Stewart said. "But be able to go to a place and step up to the challenge and they have young men there who want to play football too. To see if you can bring your experience and get it done there as well."
But leaving Meadowdale after 13 season, his longest stop as a head coach, will be tough.
"I've got great friends here and that made the decision real hard," Stewart said. "I've got great friends here on the staff and I will miss this chapter in my life. But it will also be nice turn the page and take on a new challenge."

The BUAV has welcomed the long-awaited announcement from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) that 90% of its chimpanzees will be permanently retired from research and transferred to sanctuaries. The US is the only remaining nation in the West still to use great apes in research, and the NIH is the world's largest funder of biomedical research.
The announcement follows a 2011 conclusion by one of the US's most esteemed scientific associations, the Institute of Medicine (IOM), that most research using apes is "unnecessary".
However, the NIH has not yet committed to the idea of a total cessation of experimentation with great apes and will keep around 50 chimpanzees in reserve for "future potential research" should it be deemed justifiable, according to new, stricter criteria.
The BUAV Chief Executive, Michelle Thew, expressed her disappointment at this decision and said: "The psychological and physical harm to the animals, and the scientific ineffectiveness of their use in experiments, demonstrate that there should have been a total ban on the use of chimpanzees in research."
The BUAV has worked closely in supporting the New England Anti-Vivisection Society (NEAVS) that spearheaded national US efforts to end the use of chimpanzees in US laboratories, following legislative successes within the E.U. over the past decade.
NEAVS president, Theodora Copaldo, said today: "For the US National Insitutes of Health to agree to release and retire the vast majority of its chimpanzees is nothing short of a major paradigm shift in US scientific thinking. Today, we celebrate with the chimpanzees and all the other animal protection organizations, sanctuaries, and individuals who helped make this possible. Soon hundreds more chimpanzees will live the rest of their lives without threat of invasive research. But, our next task is to reverse the unnecessary decision to keep 50 chimpanzees in reserve. This speaks to the fear that often accompanies scientific advances, even when made by the highest of authorities. Keeping a reserve population has no scientific basis or merit, because chimpanzees are never going to benefit or protect human health research."
Recent proposals have recently also been announced, by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), to list all chimpanzees as 'endangered'. Currently, wild chimpanzees are listed as endangered, but captive chimps only enjoy 'threatened' status, which allows them to be used for research, in entertainment and as pets. Such reclassification would mean even stricter regulations around the use of chimpanzees in biomedical research, affecting both NIH and other privately funded research in the US, forcing probable revisions to NIH policy on the use of great apes in the future.

Toru and Run have been best friends forever, so when Toru learns that she's managed to get into the same high school as Run, she runs to tell her... only to find Run in a compromising position with yet another girl, Yuko. Needless to say, that makes things a bit awkward at school, with Toru fending off those who might be interested in Run while Yuko and their other girlfriend, Nagi, have to deal with Run's own penchant for drama.
But it's not all angst all the time, and as the school year progresses the four girls and their many classmates find time to laugh, play, and figure out how to handle the unexpected problems life likes to throw at the them. Like bugs in the house, accidentally giving each other horrible haircuts, freezing up at karaoke, or forgetting to put your underwear on in the morning.

She just put 1/2 in food daily!
seems to work
By london2z
from bellingham, wa
My 11 year old cat has been diabetic for over a year, now. And I have been giving him twice-a-day insulin,(PZI), for about 6 months. I've been using the vet's method of giving the same dose for a week, and then testing at the end. Although I also test him once or twice more during the week. The vet's method has less bounces. (I recommend not trying the tight regulation method. It didn't work- too much BG bouncing). Anyway, after 4 weeks or so on GlucoEnsure, his BG went from being in the 350-425 range, including nadirs, which it had been at for two months, down to about the 260-360 range. It's two weeks later, now, and still about the same. So it seems as though it is effective, though the jury is still out.

Holistic is better
By rgburns
from chatsworth, ca
Our very overweight 14 year old cat was showing signs of diabetes. Rather than stress her with testing by the vet, this method was a no brainer. She looks better and we've also changed her diet to very high protein dry food too.

Kitty on her 10th life..thanks so much!
By Kitty lover!
from Manhattan Beach, Ca
A year ago my then 15 year old kitty was diagnosed with diabetes which required twice daily injections. This cat is mostly feral, and though not afraid of me will not come out from under the bed for anything except food and some loving! Injections were out of the question nor did I want to subject her to the agony of dragging her out from under the bed twice a day. Vet told me it was just a matter of time and she would lose the use of her legs and go into a coma. I went on line to look for another possible solution. Thank Heavens I found this web site. The kitty will soon be 16, and is thriving. She plays, eats like a little pig, and seems to feel great. I know without this product she would be "across the rainbow bridge" Instead, she is on her 10th life. I mix half a capsule into her food twice a day. My other cat also gets the other half though she is not diabetic, and it has no side effects, except perhaps to keep her blood sugar normal.
By Cat Lady
from Utah
I have lost 2 cats to diabetes, both at the age of 16. It seemed that after insulin was started, it was all downhill from there. When my 14 year old male cat started to show the symptoms, I was heartbroken. I did a lot of research and decided to switch him to canned food only with no wheat gluten and added the GlucoBalance as well. The results are nothing short of amazing. He was losing weight, being lethargic, having trouble walking, and drinking tons of water. He is now almost back to normal. He is his old purring self again, with bright eyes, and is putting on weight. If you think your kitty needs insulin, go for it, but please try what I've done as well.
Miracle in a bottle
By Sprocket
from Green Bay, WI
This supplement truly is a miracle worker! My eight year old cat was diagnosed as diabetic after she withdrew, became sedentary, and drank all the time. I couldn't afford daily insuline injections and the testing that was required for treatment through the vet office, so I purchased this. All I have to do is add half of a capsule to her wet food twice daily. Incredibly easy and she can't tell the difference. Within the first month her activity level increased dramatically and her symptoms of diabetes are non-existent. She is my old cat once again and it is fabulous not to see her struggling or in pain. Can't recommend enough!
Great results!
By Boo's owner

About Me Long-Time Pet Owner
My cat was diagnosed with diabetes in Feb '09 and was not doing well at all. I started him on a high protein diet as well as half a capsule in the morning and half at night. It took about 4 weeks to see results, but slowly we started seeing improvement. It is now the end of June and he is doing great! We have gone through two bottles and will start a third soon. Definately much better than giving him shots twice a day and works with our busy schedule.

Positive Results - Have Reordered
By AvonLady
from Binghamton, NY
Our older MinPin was diagnosed with diabetes in Feb. After changing her diet to a Low Carb (and adjusting feeding schedule) and using this product for over a month, I am happy to report that she is doing very well (also using Tract Ease). As, I could not see putting her and US thru constant testing and/or twice daily shots, I sought out a alternative and I am very happy with the results. As she is about 20lbs I started her out for two weeks on the 1/2 capsule twice daily and didn't see much results so I went to the full capsule twice daily as her weight was borderline between the small and medium size dogs and now have seen great results. She does still tend to be thirsty but have had days where she has left water in her dish. I am hoping with continued use that will improve. I have reordered this product and will continue to use. I starting testing her urine with strips (about aweek ago)and the ketones have been the color of small amount - this morning I noticed it was lightened up alittle more towards the trace color. So, here is hoping that it will keep getting lighter in color to negative amount.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

In the consumer IoT, everything is new, and the IT world of bits and bytes holds sway. But industrial and commercial realms encompass operational technology (OT) that has been around for 25 or 50 years. This grittier, pre-IP, more hands-on world has much to gain from Industrial IoT (IIoT) applications and principles. But adding sensors and wireless connectivity won't work in environments that demand unwavering reliability and performance. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Ron Sege, CEO of Echelon, will discuss how as enterprise IT embraces other IoT-related technology trends, enterprises with i...

Customer Raves & Reviews
Save the Date
Our Save the Dates turned out perfect. I was very impressed with the options we had to choose from, but fell in love with Romantic Ruche. The print quality was above what I had anticipated and the overall product was flawless. I was also impressed with the delivery of the product. It came in a cute box(which I'm using to store my wedding information) along with a useful magazine. I would highly recommend this company to others, as it was recommended to me.
Perfect Save the Date Magnet!
The Romantic Ruche Save-the-Date Magnets are a wonderful product! The magnet backing is strong, immediately adheres to any magnetic surface and it's not flimsy or weak like some other magnets I've seen. The size is perfect - large enough to actually see your photo and text, but small enough for it to be a nice addition to a refrigerator or office without being over-bearing. The printing and final product is very true to the personalization that we did. The personalization tool that MagnetStreet uses is great and so easy to use! We changed the colors and some of the fonts to match our style, and everything came out true to color and true to size! We are extremely happy and have already received so many compliments on them! The product was also shipped on time, and I couldn't believe the package I received in the mail! It was packaged in an adorable keepsake box with a magnetic cover to keep everything organized. Everything was wrapped carefully, and they supplied enough envelopes for a few "oops" addresses. They also sent a gorgeous book of examples of their wedding invitations, with two beautiful samples with vellum and envelopes, which really helped us understand the care and attention to detail that MagnetStreet provides! I will definitely be ordering from MagnetStreet again!
Loved the Save the Date
I am so glad that I decided to get The Romantic Ruche magnet I loved the design! I switched up all the colors so I was a little worried that it would not turn out right. But it is absolutely perfect! I couldn't be happier! The mini magnet is indeed mini I still love it! But if I could do it again I may of chose the other size.
LOVE our Save the Dates!!!
Just got our Save the Dates in the mail today and I LOVE them!! I am so excited to put them together and mail them out!!! We choose the Romantic Ruche design because it was beautiful and simple at the same time! We personalized our mini magnet to our wedding colors (coral) and it turned out beautifully!! We also chose to do the "design your own" card holder and used the same design and added our date. The colors and the photo printed extremely well on the magnet and the card holder has a great texture to it. We choose the mini magnet because our picture was vertical and it fit better on the mini magnet than the standard size. I also want to say that I was very worried about problems with postage and mailing such a small sized item and I called Magnet Street probably about three times to check sizes and add things to my order...everyone was always SO nice and easy to talk with, they helped answer all of my questions each time I called! Oh and you get an actual person when you call, not an automated system :) They were so awesome I am going to see if we can get our invitations made from them in the same design! We loved working with Magnet Street and I will definitely be referring ALL of my friends that will be future brides!! Thanks so much Magnet Street!!
Gorgeous Vintage Save Date Card
We are so pleased with our Romantic Ruche save the date magnets! They look beautiful!!! The staff was very punctual in getting this order processed and it arrived three days ahead of schedule, which made me a very happy bride! The presentation and quality of MagnetStreet's work is impeccable. We are looking forward to purchasing more products from MagnetStreet to help celebrate our special day.

RICHLANDS — Northside took care of business Monday in the first round of the East Central 2-A Conference girls' basketball tournament.
Ashanti Curry scored 15 points while Kayla Hill and Lizzie Perez each added 13 as the top-seeded Monarchs defeated No. 8 Topsail 61-33 at Richlands High School.
Northside (20-4) will play Clinton on Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the semifinals. The Dark Horses beat Croatan 47-34 in the opening round.
Against Topsail (7-16), the Monarchs used a 7-0 run in the first quarter to take a 9-2 lead and never looked back. Northside then outscored the Pirates 13-4 in the second quarter to take a 30-13 lead into halftime.
"It was certainly a different atmosphere than Friday," said Northside coach Chad Novelli, referring to the Monarchs' 50-37 win at East Duplin that gave them the league's regular-season title. "The days when the girls don't have school, we always come out a little flat. But they came out and did what they had to do today."
The Monarchs had early trouble against the Pirates' taller lineup, which included 5-foot-10 Carlie Smith and 5-9 Kayla Hyatt.
However, Northside made adjustments on the boards and finished with a 39-26 advantage on the glass. Smith ended with 4 points and 12 rebounds. The Pirates were led by Chandler Skipper's 12 points while Mindi White added 11.
"We've had plenty of practice being the shorter team throughout the season," Novelli said. "We know we are not always going to get the rebounds. Getting better position is what we need to work on, but we are so aggressive underneath, that it makes up for our lack of height."
The Monarchs used their athleticism to their advantage as Northside forced 22 turnovers. Topsail committed six turnovers and only shot 2 of 6 from the field in a second quarter that saw the Pirates score just 4 points.
"In the first quarter we needed a little wake-up call coming off Friday, which was a pretty emotional night for us," Novelli said. "We knew coming in the first quarter might be a little rough."
Clinton 47, Croatan 34: Fourth-seeded Clinton outscored fifth-seeded Croatan 13-2 in the third quarter en route to an opening-round victory.
The Dark Horses (18-7) will play Northside on Wednesday in the semifinals. The Cougars (6-16) will be the ECC's fifth and final automatic playoff seed, barring a team seeded lower than them wins the tournament.
Croatan looked primed for the upset as the Cougars took an 11-10 lead on a 3-pointer by Maddie Heverly 50 seconds into the second quarter. However, the Dark Horses scored 9 of the next 12 points to take a 20-14 lead into halftime.
Croatan then just managed two free throws in the third quarter, which allowed Clinton to pull away.
"I think they turned up their pressure," Croatan coach Andrew Gurley said. "In the first half we were able to adjust and beat their press. Their pressure got to us (in the second half)."
Sammy Jo Layko led the Cougars with 7 points.
Clinton was led by Courtney Pearsall's 15 points and Kristen Glasper's 13.
Clinton 58, Swansboro 37: Eighth-seeded Swansboro held its own against No. 1 Clinton for most of the first half.
Then the Dark Horses outscored the Pirates 21-4 in the third quarter en route to a first-round win over the Pirates.
Clinton (18-8) will play South Lenoir on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the semifinals.
Swansboro (5-20) jumped to an 8-2 lead early and hung tough with the Dark Horses by forcing Clinton to take difficult shots. However, the Dark Horses forced 9 turnovers in the third quarter and turned most of their takeaways into transition points.
"It was so much us trying to slow down. It was more trying to make sure we put bodies on their guys when they attacked the basket. We tired to hold our ground more than try to jump with them," Swansboro coach Ed Walsh said of his team's first-half effort. "Then we struggled all of the sudden in the third quarter. All of the sudden we couldn't break their press."
Yuwsef Thorton led the Pirates with 13 points and 7 rebounds.
Jalen Banks scored 13 points to lead Clinton.
South Lenoir 62, East Duplin 44: South Lenoir's Ishmael Baldwin scored 22 points to lead fourth-seeded South Lenoir past No. 5 East Duplin in the opening round.
The Blue Devils (14-9) will play Clinton on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the semifinals.
"They got second-chance points and they got to the free throw line," East Duplin coach Robert Ross said. "Look at the free throw stats, they beat by (12) at the line, itself. They also had 12 blocks. They are long and lanky and we don't have a lot of size."
Malik Baker led the Panthers (8-17) with 17 points while Nicholas Williams added 11.
East Duplin was hoping to advance to the ECC tournament final for the third consecutive season and for the fourth time in five seasons.
The Panthers will still be the league's fifth and final automatic playoff seed if a lower-seeded team doesn't win the conference tournament.

All Tim Vincent wanted to do was continue playing baseball.
And after hitting the diamond following his five-year stint in the Marine Corps, the 31-year-old Vincent now finds himself as the skipper of a first-year local adult amateur team.
That team is the Jacksonville Pirates, a 28-and-over squad that plays in the North Carolina/South Carolina Men's Baseball League and features former high school players like Vincent who simply enjoy playing ball — for nothing.
The NC/SC Men's Baseball League is in conjunction with Roy Hobbs Baseball, an adult amateur association.
"This is something I've been doing for a long time and right around 2000 I started playing back home (in Bayside, N.Y.)," Vincent said. "I played a few years up there and did the Marine thing, and when I got out, I started my first few years working in the civilian world.
"In 2011, I decided to start playing ball again and I found the Wilmington syndicate (of Roy Hobbs Baseball) and played in a couple of leagues in 2011 and 2012 to get my feet wet in the league and get back into baseball."
Vincent, though, did more than just get back into the game. He became a full-fledged active member, courtesy of the league, based in
"Right around the holidays, the president of the league approached me and said, 'Hey, if there was enough interest in the
And that's exactly what Vincent and the Pirates have continued to try to do since officially forming in January. The Pirates are not owned by any one person and the men's baseball league is responsible for scheduling and booking umpires.
Meanwhile, Vincent is the face of the Pirates, locally and within the league. He is the team manager and one of the pitchers while assistant manager Steve Brown is an infielder and pitcher along with being Vincent's right-hand man.
Their job, in addition to putting together a competitive team, is to get word out about their team's existence. The Pirates play in a league where games are nine innings — in doubleheaders they play seven — and teams use wooden bats.
There's also rules to ensure "more flexibility in positions changes that are not as complex as in the big leagues," Vincent said.
In addition to the Pirates, the league features three
"I love baseball and pitching is a huge passion of mine. When the opportunity presented itself to start something here … there really wasn't a whole lot going on for family-friendly (activities)," Vincent said. "I thought about something that appeals to the younger, athletic crowd. We encourage everybody to bring their kids. There are cookouts and language (needs to be respectful).
"The hardest thing has been getting cooperation from the area. Something we need is (sponsors). We can't get any business sponsors. We are not asking for a whole lot. And then we don't have a field."
The Pirates play their home games at
On the field, the team has progressed, despite a 1-7 record, Vincent said.
"We have a group of players who had been out of the game for a while and so the first few games we were testing the water and seeing who could play where," Vincent said. "Offensively, we are quickly coming to be a competitive team. Defensively, we are making a few changes with some new players. I would put our pitching staff against anyone in the league.
"The easiest thing is getting everybody on the field. This is the best team I've been on where everybody is on the same sheet of music and enjoying themselves."
Three players are natives of
The rest of the 16-man roster came to the area through the military. Vincent said between "40 to 50 percent" of the team is active duty military or former military.
"We are trying to keep this core together as much as possible," Vincent said. "We want to get a couple wins in the column and make as much noise as we can. Next year we are hoping for .500 or better and we would like to make a competitive run in the playoffs."
If anything else, Vincent and the Pirates just look to continue playing ball.

College Signing Day is a national holiday among those that follow college football. While college soccer's own signing day does not get the same level of exposure and scrutiny, it is an important deal as well.
Seven LA Galaxy Academy products signed their letter of intent to schools across the country on Friday as they look set to begin the next stage of their soccer development.
Leading the way is Galaxy Academy starlet Paul Arriola, who is currently training with the club's first team throughout the preseason. Arriola has committed to national powerhouse UCLA for the fall semester. Joining Arriola at UCLA are two other Academy players; defender Nathan Smith and midfielder Willie Raygoza. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Josh McNeely and midfielder Drew Murphy are heading to Isla Vista to attend UC Santa Barbara while highly touted forward prospect Justin Dhillon is heading to Cal Poly.
Rounding out the group is defender Vincent Reyes, who is off to Florida International University in Miami, where he will be coached by Bruce Arena's son Kenny, a former Galaxy U-16 head coach.
CARSON, Calif. – Fitness concerns with midfielders Juninho and Michael Stephens have forced Rafael Garcia into a starting midfield role at the start of the preseason and the second-year midfielder has wasted no time impressing..
In LA's victories over the U.S. Under-17 national team and Los Angeles Blues, Garcia has been extremely influential in two first half appearances. As he looks to build upon a rookie season that saw him make a total of five appearances in all competitions, Garcia admits that he is taking whatever chances that he gets in stride.
"It's been going good. I'm happy to jump in and help out. I'm just working hard and trying to do my thing," said Garcia. "The team has been helping me out…with pointers here and there, talking from the back line and a few little things, but it's been coming along well and I'm happy to get the minutes."
During LA's opening preseason matches, the second-year midfielder has been partnered alongside midfielder Marcelo Sarvas, who has provided an offensive presence that balances Garcia's grit and energy.
"We work well together, he obviously brings the experience and I bring the energy so it works well," said Garcia. "He brings experience so [I learn] when to go on certain runs, when to hold the ball, when to play long."
But what has Garcia gained in these first two preseason matches? "Mostly fitness," he admits, but also plenty of "confidence and motivation."
"Anytime that you get to start a game whether it's a practice game or a real competition, it's always an honor," said Garcia. "For me, I just look at it as I have to keep working hard and when my number gets called, I just have to learn from these opportunities."
LA Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez started and went 90 minutes in the U.S. national team's 2-1 defeat to Honduras in a World Cup Qualifier
Gonzalez started alongside former Houston Dynamo defender and current Stoke City defender Geoff Cameron in the middle for the U.S. national team. Clint Dempsey put the U.S. ahead in the 35th minute off a beautiful through-ball from Jermaine Jones.
However, Honduras tallied two unanswered goals with the first coming in 39th minute on Juan Carlos Garcia's incredible bicycle kick goal that blew past goalkeeper Tim Howard. Honduras went ahead for good in the 78th minute when the Central Americans capitalized on a defensive lapse by the U.S. with Jerry Bengston giving Honduras the victory.Gonzalez had a stoppage time header, but fired his chance over the bar.
Complete highlights of the game are below...

LAGalaxy.com's videographer Paolo Ferrari has provided a highlight video of Tuesday's 3-0 preseason victory over the Los Angeles Blues.
Check out the highlights below...
CARSON, Calif. – A.J. DeLaGarza may not have been called up for the U.S. national team's World Cup Qualifier against Honduras, but the LA Galaxy centerback is making the most of his opportunities at the club level.
DeLaGarza started Tuesday's 3-0 preseason victory over the USL Pro's Los Angeles Blues and went a total of 60 minutes in the win. During the match, DeLaGarza provided a vocal presence in the back alongside Tommy Meyer in the first and Leonardo in the second as he organized a Galaxy back four that overpowered the third division side's offense.
After the club's well-documented disappointing start to the season in 2012, DeLaGarza admits that there is "a lot of improvement from last year already" in just two preseason matches.
But how does the defender feel about his own level since returning from International duty?
"I feel good," DeLaGarza told reporters on Tuesday. "My confidence was high in camp and I thought I did pretty well. To not get called in, [for the Honduras World Cup Qualifier] obviously, my confidence was a little down, but now I'm back here and I'm making the most of my opportunity. I'm trying to get back in where I was fitness wise like everyone else."
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy picked up their second victory of the preseason on Tuesday with a 3-0 win over USLPRO side Los Angeles Blues.
The scoring began in the 4th minute when a cross by Rafael Garcia set up an own goal by Blues midfielder Gabbi Gonzalez. Robbie Keane slotted a turnover in the box in the 15th minute before Jose Villarreal ended the scoring in the 76th minute while LA was down a man after Leonardo went down with cramp.
A few notes from the match...
The Galaxy started the match in the following formation:
*There were only two changes from last week's game against the U.S. Under-17's as Mike Magee moved into midfield for Gyasi Zardes while A.J. DeLaGarza started for Omar Gonzalez, who is away with the U.S. national team.
*Clark put together another strong performance on the left side as he showed an ability to link up with the likes of Keane and Zardes.
*The Galaxy first team held almost complete command of the match in the second half with the Blues only making a couple of forays out of their own half.
The Galaxy ran out the following lineup in the second half:
Sorto---DeLaGarza (Opare '60)---Leonardo (Inj in 72)----Gaul
*Paul Arriola put together another solid performance creating a couple of scoring chances, but was unable to find the back of the net. Arriola celebrated his 18th birthday on Tuesday.
*After starting goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini faced almost no action in the first half, Brian Perk made three saves as the Blues tried in vain to get on the board.
*The game was the first appearance for the Galaxy's second round draft pick Kofi Opare.
*Another strong game for Greg Cochrane, who was energetic down the left side. .
*LA played down a man for the last 18 minutes of the game after Leonardo suffered what Bruce Arena described as a cramp.
*There were two yellow cards in the match with Colin Clark picking up one in the 41st minute while Villarreal picked up one of his own in the 82nd.
*Following the match, Arena told reporters that first round pick Charlie Rugg is getting closer to returning to the field. Rugg himself told reporters that he's been dealing with a nagging groin injury.
*The Blues lineup for the match was as follows:
Carl Woszczynski; Matt Hall (Darryl Robson, 46; Dallas Moore, 71), Cory Miller (Adrian Dubois, 46), Erlys Garcia (Dutch Jock, 46), Jermano LoFuSang (Connor *Name not found*, 46); Jimmy Turner, 83); Gabriel Gonzalez (David Bakal, 46); Artur Aghasyan (Juan "Kichi" Perez, 46; Matthew Xiano, 71), Allan Russell (Georges Ba, 46), George Davis IV (Nelson Pizarro, 46), Deon McCauley (Sergio Del Valle, 24); Chris Cortez (Duran Davis, 33).
On Tuesday, the LA Galaxy announced the formation of an Academy Alliance with local clubs Redondo Beach-based South Bay Force (The team that produced Homegrown players Jose Villarreal, Oscar Sorto, and Gyasi Zardes) and Laguna Hills-based West Coast Futbol Club as well as adidas to identify and develop new players across Southern California.
Read more about the partnership here, but one of the things that I found most interesting about the development was the "LA Galaxy Player Pyramid."
Take a look at the structure of Galaxy palyer development below..
CARSON, Calif. – After three seasons of loans, Juninho is with the LA Galaxy for good and the tenacious Brazilian midfielder couldn't be happier.
The deal to bring Juninho from Brazilian club Sao Paulo on a permanent basis became official in mid-January after the Brazilian spent the past three seasons on loan. Juninho returned to Southern California from Brazil last Thursday and spoke to the media for the first time on Monday.
The move from Southern California to Brazil took some time, perhaps because it included Juninho's wife's Yorkshire terrier Julie, but now that it is over, Juninho admits that things are "perfect" in LA.
"[It was] easy because I didn't play [at Sao Paulo] too much," said Juninho, who is currently in the process of applying for a green card. "Here Bruce [Arena] gives me all the support and love here. I play a lot of minutes. I'm happy to be here."
Now that Juninho has arrived in Southern California, he is quickly looking to re-gain his fitness as he reported that he is currently at "70 percent" after the offseason, but expects to return to full fitness soon.
Although it was all smiles on Monday, Arena admits that the Galaxy entered the negotiations with Sao Paulo with some apprehension due to a few past experiences.
"We managed to do it in the first week of January. Our past experiences were it wasn't going to be easy but it turned out to be something that made sense for both club," said Arena. "We've always had a good relationship with them. We're happy for the player, we're happy for our club.
"Sao Paulo is a club with a lot of talented players, sometimes they can't keep everybody," Arena added. "We were fortunate to create a relationship where we were able to get Juni here."
With Juninho at The Home Depot Center for good, the Brazilian and the rest of the Galaxy can now focus on the task of going for an unprecedented third consecutive MLS Cup championship.
"It's a different year with different kinds of players," said Juninho. "I'll during the games. I think we'll be fine."

Please keep this thread related to steps as part of a plan of action to promote atheism/reason (or crush religion, take your pick).
I think protesting against any religious stuff on public property (especially Xmas) will not help one bit.
Think about it. If the RR ever totally controlled gov't they'd be able to install any religion as their favorite. However, as long as freedom of speech (unabridged) is around they have a problem.
1) I think the biggest way to get the debate going (all the while having nothing to do with legislation or protesting legislation or protesting gov't) is to stand around churches on Sunday with various prior resurrected gods hanging on a cross with the name of the "eventual resurrectee" like Mithras or Osiris (Osiris is the best choice).
Every Sunday going to church, the attendees would have to see it. Sunday after Sunday.
2) I would like to put together a typical 12-month calendar whereby the large pictures for each month are anti-monotheism but in a roundabout way. For example, December's picture would be a flood of meteorites shown in the sky descending to earth. Another month could have the Egyptian pyramids against a backdrop of meteorites. IOW, people would see the calendar, not realize what it's true purpose of, but possibly be interested in the pictures for each month.

Q: How can someone get a second opinion?
A: These are some ways to get a second opinion.
- Talk with a primary doctor. He or she may be able to recommend a specialist. This might include a surgeon, medical oncologist, or radiation oncologist. Sometimes these doctors work together at cancer centers or programs.
- Ask the Cancer Information Service (800-4-CANCER) for help. It can provide treatment facilities, cancer centers, and other programs supported by the National Cancer Institute.
- Get names of doctors from other sources. Check with a local medical society, a nearby hospital, a medical school, local cancer advocacy groups, or other people who have had pancreatic cancer.
- Consult The Official ABMS Directory of Board Certified Medical Specialists. This book from the American Board of Medical Specialists lists doctors by state. It gives their specialty, background, and training. It is available at most public libraries or on the Internet at www.abms.org.
Pancreatic Cancer Statistics
These are 2011 statistics from the American Cancer Society's Facts & Figures about pancreatic cancer:
- About 44,030 people will be told they have pancreatic cancer this year.
- The rate of pancreatic cancer in both men and women has decreased slightly over the past 15 to 25 years.
- Nearly 90 percent of people with cancer of the pancreas are age 55 and older, and more than 70 percent are ages 65 and older.
- African-Americans are more likely to develop pancreatic cancer than whites - the reasons for this are not clear.
- Smokers are two to three times as likely as nonsmokers to get pancreatic cancer.
- An estimated 37,660 Americans will die of pancreatic cancer this year, making it the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in both men and women.

Lady Falcon Lacrosse Picks Up First Place Vote; Picked #2 in Preseason Coaches Poll
January 26, 2012
HIGH POINT, N.C. - Conference Carolinas women's lacrosse head coaches recently voted on the 2012 season preseason polls. Limestone took the number one position for the sixth consecutive year with Pfeiffer, who secured a first place vote in the process, and Queens following behind closely to round out the top three spots.
After coming within one win of national championship last season, Limestone College women's lacrosse has high expectations. In 2011, Limestone won its first 17 games and entered the NCAA DII Tournament with the No. 2 overall seed. The Saints defeated northern rival No. 6 West Chester by a 10-9 score in the national semifinals before falling to eventual three-time champion Adelphi in the national championship game. It was the first such appearance in program history after a long history of success.
The Saints finished the season with an 18-2 overall record, tying the program mark for most wins in a season set the year before, and return three of their four IWLCA Second-Team All-Americans. Among those are senior attack Racquel Prager who scored a near season record 60 goals and finished with 67 points and junior goalkeeper Rashelle McLellan who posted a 7.28 goals against average. Junior midfielder Chelsea Treat, the 2011 Conference Carolinas Player of the Year, rounds out that group. As a unit, Limestone returns 26 of the 30 players that were a part of last season's national runner-up squad.
For the third-straight season, Pfeiffer University has been selected second in the annual coaches' poll. The Lady Falcons finished the 2011 campaign with a 12-6 overall record, going 6-1 in Conference Carolinas play, before falling to Limestone in the league's title game.
Once again in 2012, Pfeiffer will have to look for other goal-scorers as Sarah Hebberd and Alex Cook, the top two scorers from a year ago along with Shannon Bonnel, have departed. Bonnel returns for her third season after putting home 37 goals with 12 assists while Natalie Marvin enters her final season after a 34-goal and team-high 27-assist season last year. Liz Melesh and Rachel Hebberd are both back after 20+ goal-scoring seasons in 2011 while Katherine Athens also added 18.
Fourth-year Head Coach Dawn Easley will also look towards 12 freshmen to help out along the way.
Queens returns 13 letter winners this season from their 2011 squad. Of the group, attacker Shannon Casey and defender Akasha Kasper are two standouts that were recognized on last season's All-Conference and All-Region teams. Kasper's performance as a freshman also awarded her a spot on the IWLCA All-American team and the Synapse Sports All-Rookie Team.Casey will be an offensive threat again this season after leading her team in points with 72 last year on 21 goals and 51 assists. Brittany Philip will also be looked to score on the offensive end after scoring 42 goals last season.
Conference Carolinas Preseason Coaches Poll (First Place Votes)
1. Limestone - (6) 36
2. Pfeiffer - (1) 29
3. Queens - 27
4. Belmont Abbey - 22
5. Lees-McRae - 14
6. Converse - 12
7. Erskine - 7

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
Primarily to diagnose and monitor acute pancreatitis; also sometimes to diagnose and monitor chronic pancreatitis or other pancreatic diseases
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms of a pancreatic disorder, such as severe abdominal pain, fever, loss of appetite, or nausea
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm; sometimes a random urine sample, a 24-hour urine sample, or a sample of peritoneal fluid
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Amylase is one of several enzymes produced by the pancreas to help digest carbohydrates. This test measures the amount of amylase in the blood or urine or sometimes in peritoneal fluid.
Amylase is secreted through the pancreatic duct into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum), where it helps break down dietary carbohydrates. It is also produced by other organs, particularly the salivary glands.
Amylase is usually present in the blood and urine in small quantities. When cells in the pancreas are injured, as happens with pancreatitis, or when the pancreatic duct is blocked by a gallstone or by a pancreatic tumor in rare cases, increased amounts of amylase are released into the blood. This increases concentrations of amylase in the blood and also in the urine as amylase is eliminated from the blood through the urine.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. Sometimes a random urine sample, a 24-hour urine sample, or peritoneal fluid is collected.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Story Courtesy of Lee Wright, Clayton State Sports Information
MORROW, G.A. – Pfeiffer's Chris Woods was selected as the 2010-11 Daktronics Division II Southeast Region Player of the Year for men's basketball, which was announced on Wednesday.

He is joined on the All-Region first team by Georgia Southwestern's Phillip Brown, Lincoln Memorial's Desmond Johnson, Augusta State's George Johnson and Clayton State's Timmy Downs.
With the first team selection, all five players are automatically eligible for Daktronics Division II All-American honors.

BEST: Jennifer Love Hewitt showed off her curves in sexy style! The single siren rocked an embellished Herve Leger halter with glitter peep-toes.
WORST: Liza Minnelli sort of left us speechless, but not in a good way. This is one of those ensembles that makes you question a persons sanity.

The shoe looks great. If you have pretty feet, the shoe will look beautiful on. Gives you the gladiator look without all the straps on your ankles. However, I found the straps to be very uncomfortable, plus they did not look good on my feet, so I sent them back. I wish I had read the returns info better. I didn't realize I would be paying to send them back. I don't think I'll be shopping here again, unless I'm getting shoes for my kids or a shoe I've already tried on before elsewhere.
