Obesity is the condition in which the weight and accumulated fat of a person has reached a level that significantly affects their health, longevity, circulatory system, respiratory system, skeletal system and sleep in addition to other parts of their life and body.
Many public health officials, doctors and even First Lady Michelle Obama have called attention to obesity in recent years due to the alarming pace at which it seems to be rising. The World Health Organization estimated that as of 2008 approximately 1.5 billion adults (age 20 and above) were overweight and of these more than 200 million men and nearly 300 million women were obese.
The organization went on to project that by 2015 approximately 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese.
Medical professionals often define obesity as a measurement of the Body Mass Index, which is a ratio of height and weight. Someone with a Body Mass Index, or BMI, of greater than 30 kg/m2 is considered obese. People with a BMI between 25 kg/m2 and 30 kg/m2 are considered overweight or pre-obese.
According to the World Health Organization, the fundamental causes of obesity are lifestyle-related: the intake of excessive calories on one hand and the lack of physical activity to burn those calories on the other.
In addition to lifestyle issues, a few cases of obesity have been known to be caused by genetic predisposition, endocrine problems, pharmaceutical drugs and mental illness.

It always morbidly amuses me that most if not all of those who are against capital punishment are for torturing someone for the rest of his or her existence by locking him or her in a cage and, at the very least, depriving him or her healthy sensory input, as if that's so much more humane than a quick death.
Can you explain why sensory input is "healthy"?
That's not what I said. Sensory input is not necessarily healthy, obviously. But a healthy person needs positive sensory input, and a serial killer doesn't deserve any such thing.
I don't understand why isolation from the human race would unquestionably be torture, since some people like that isolation.
Hence the alternative (below).
The alternative is rewarding the violently sociopathic criminal's actions by providing him or her a comfortable existence which is utterly undeserved.
You're right about that comfortable existence. I would not want to subject someone to physical and sensory isolation if it could be proven that this amounts to torture - with this proof, I would find it just as abhorrent as anyone else.
Inmates don't hang themselves because they're enjoying life.
What I really want from these murderers is not their pain but their remorse.
Why? And how do you propose to squeeze remorse out of someone who clearly has no regard for human life?
Is it possible to put someone through a non-harmful mental exercise that would cause him to recognize the depth of the harm he has done?
I imagine it is possible, I just don't see a need for it.

Gentle reader, I apologize for the dearth of updates recently. But with a new month comes new opportunity for mathematical investigation, so let's dive right in!
In keeping with my summertime theme of mathematics and food (see e.g. here and here), I'd like to share with you a story about a recent dinner I shared with my better half. After a day spent apartment hunting, we decided to treat ourselves to a dinner out.
Everything we learned about treating ourselves we learned from Parks and Recreation.
In keeping with the theme of treating ourselves, we ordered two desserts at the end of the night, and both looked quite delicious. We agreed to each eat half of one dessert and then trade for the second half. One was in the general pie family of desserts.

These shoes are great. As I climbed more and more in these shoes I loved them more. They are not very aggressive but allow for great climbing. I love the thick heel as it pushes your toes forward and helps enforce proper footwork. I definitely don't regret buying these.
This shoe is okay. I wore my previous ones for a year so these felt pretty good when I first put them on. I have pretty wide feet, wear size 7.5 street shoe and sized down to 37. It is definitely a little loose in the heel area but can slightly be fixed by pulling the back velcro tighter.I consider my footwork to be decent (not dragging the rubber across the rocks) so I was pretty surprised that about 3 weeks after using this shoe, the front part of the rubber has started peeling. The quality of the shoe is pretty bad for how much you pay for it. With all the different climbing shoes out there, I would not buy these shoes again.
I like Sportivas in general because I have narrow feet and they tend to be lower volume shoes. This one is no exception. But Sportivas also tend to run very long, so you really need to size down. I wear a 10 wmns in a street shoe, but around a 39.5 (8 wmns) in this brand. I didn't purchase small enough on this one and had to return it.
I bought this shoe and it looks almost as pictured. Never got to try it out though because the heel is very aggressive and really bites my tendons/ligaments on my heel. So I guess I would say be warned of the aggressive heel that doesn't seem that aggressive in the pictures.
This was my first pair of climbing shoes. I initially tried the Evolv Elektras, but couldn't get them to fit properly. The Katanas are a fantastic alternative; the narrow La Sportiva fit doesn't work for everyone, but it is perfect for me. The heel cup bags slightly, but that should not matter much for a newer climber. The Katanas are comfortable but still aggressive and clean-edged enough to make you feel confident in your foot placement. Don't forget to size down, the leather stretches significantly!
Perfect for all type of climbing, either you´re a begginer or an experienced climber. Super comfty and easy to put on. The velcro straps let you adjust them as tight as you want. I´m size 8 on street, bought these on 37.5 and fit right for training, but I could go even a whole number down. Totally recommend them, a must have, la sportiva is great.
These were my first pair of real climbing shoes and I loved them. I wear a street shoe size of 10.5 and got these in 38.5. I wore them for a year and a half, mostly for gym climbing, and they served me well. They took longer to break in than I would have liked, but once they stretched a bit they fit great and I started climbing better. They're great for narrow feet because they're low volume and the straps pull in opposite directions so they fit evenly on both sides. They're a light color so they tend to look pretty gross after a while, but they don't hold on to awful foot smell like synthetic shoes do. I'd recommend these to anyone who wants to start getting serious about climbing.
I had these shoes as my first pair of climbing shoes. The size was kinda funky, I needed to get about a size and a half bigger than I actually wear, but they still fit funny. Quite stiff and hard to break in, and at that point I was mainly indoor climbing, so I would have preferred a more flexible shoe (just my personal preference). Overall, they did their job, but after about 6 months, I moved on to my next pair.
I initially bought these shoes in a 39.5 but had to return due to them being too small. I'm normally a size 40, sizing up a half size didn't really do too much for me unfortunately, the shoes just didn't fit my feet much to my dismay. I love the Sportiva brand, the Katana's are beautiful and perform great, aside from the discomfort. I couldn't get these broken in to where I could wear them exclusively when climbing and the heel was a little baggy on me also. I kept these shoes but ended up giving them to a friend and trying Evolv's instead which fit me like a dream. I still miss the Katana's though!
I love the Sportiva brand and absolutely loved these shoes the moment I laid eyes on them. They look awesome, they're a beautiful color and perform great but I could not get them to break in to a comfortable level for me. The heel was a little baggy but no complaints on the toebox. I also felt like the stitching around the ankle area was a little rough. Loved the shoe but needed something with a different fit. Sent them back for a bigger pair to no avail.

Customer Raves & Reviews
2 Thumbs Up!!
Extremely pleased with my programs that I ordered. They are high quality and very professional. I had a few things I wanted edited to make them more personal and magnetstreet worked quickly and efficiently to make what I wanted happen. The turn around time was super fast. I have now ordered my save the dates, menu cards and programs from this company. Highly recommend.
Beautiful Wedding Program
I am so impressed with my wedding programs from Magnet Street. Everything about the process was easy! The picture on the front came out really well. The quality is great. I will definitely recommend this product to a friend.
Beautiful Programs!
Our ceremony programs were perfect! The quality of the paper was great, design was beautiful and I loved being able to personalize the colors to exactly what matched our wedding colors.
Fast, beautiful, and amazing customer service!
Like many other reviewers I ordered these programs the week before my wedding and they arrived on time. I even made multiple changes to the proofs. Everyone I dealt with provided excellent customer service . The best part is that the programs looked amazing and I got numerous compliments. Thank you!
The print quality came out beautiful. The design program itself was not difficult to use, although it did have a few quirks. The only issue I had with the whole process, is the default font on the front title where the name goes was odd. It would display nicely in the editor, but then when you saved the changed, it changed the font on the previewer. Specifically, the letter S would look like a T. We ultimately just changed the font all together and it looked and printed as it did in the editor and previewer. The one question I had about it was if the front picture did wrap like a centimeter onto the back page (as it shows in the previewer). It indeed does. So if you are wondering about it, it does print out exactly like the previewer shows. I would highly recommend this program, it printed out just as it showed in the preview. The paper came out high quality, and the printing was exceptional. The shipping and processing was also quick. Overall, I would highly recommend using magnet street and this program specifically was perfect for us.

Hope the Chinese don't get near these sharks. They will all be finned and thrown back in the ocean to die. A terrific picture.

GARETH DUNCAN writes Butch James will be pivotal for the Lions against the Crusaders, but he'll need his heavies to set the momentum up front.
The Lions/Crusaders match on Saturday will see a defining individual clash between Butch James and Dan Carter as the two pivots boast the abilities to win the game for their respective sides. However, in order to play such an influential role, they'll need their respective pack of forwards to set the platform up front.
This is an area the Lions will need to improve in. They've shown moments of brilliance with a cavalier approach, but the absence of several first-choice forwards and regular unforced errors has cost them – especially on attack. While they're currently on a three-match losing streak, they've only scored six tries in the campaign so far (the lowest tally in the competition, shared with the Melbourne Rebels). James said this is something the team is working on.
'We need to be sharper on attack, and that's been one of the main focuses at training this week,' James told keo.co.za. 'We are hoping to improve on our lineout and scrum performances, which need to be better. The injuries in the squad [the Lions have lost 12 first-choice players] haven't made it easy for us, but we remain positive and are determined to win this weekend.'
If the Lions do manage to hold their own against the Crusaders pack, this will place a greater emphasis on the flyhalf battle.
All Blacks veteran Carter will make his first Super Rugby start of the season against the Lions. Although he's not expected to play the full 80 minutes, he's a major boost for the Christchurch franchise. The Crusaders are touted as major title challengers, but have looked inconsistent in the opening weeks of Super Rugby. They've suffered two losses from their four fixtures, and have struggled for regular momentum on attack. Against the Cheetahs last weekend, they relied on a 75th-minute Israel Dagg try to seal a late 28-21 win.
Carter will add some stability to the Crusaders backline, that has yet to live up to its true potential. His organising and playmaking skills will likely improve the team's general interplay, while his influence with the boot (tactical and at goal) will be a useful weapon.
The Lions will need a plan to nullify Carter's threat. Cue James.
While first-choice Elton Jantjies has been sidelined for the past three weeks, head coach John Mitchell couldn't have asked for a better back-up pivot in James – who'll be the perfect player to mark Carter. The 33-year-old not only matches his New Zealand counterpart for experience, but also has the attacking and defensive game that can give the Lions the platform to record a much-needed win.
'Dan Carter and [scrumhalf] Andy Ellis will bring a strong kicking game, but we're prepared for that,' said James. 'I want to play a big part at 10 this weekend, by performing a leadership role in the backline and putting in a commanding performance. The guys around me also bring a lot of energy, which motivates me.'
According to current form, it will be James's physical guard that will make the biggest impact. In his two starts against the Sharks and Stormers this season, he has made 20 tackles, provided a burly presence in the flyhalf channel and forced three turnovers.
Quade Cooper told SA Rugby magazine it's these kind of defensive strengths that trouble opposition pivots: 'I've played against him a couple of times and players do worry about his physicality. I can remember the look in his eye of always wanting to bash someone. He's built like a strong centre but has the brains and skills of a flyhalf.'

He talks through the creative challenges of making music powered by YouTube, and unveils the first 2 minutes of his new work, "Sleep," with a video choir of 2,052. The full piece premiered a few weeks later (yes, on YouTube!).

Penny Wise, Dollar Foolish: Buy-Sell Imbalances On and Around Round Numbers
2012, Management Science
Utpal Bhattacharya, Craig W. Holden, Stacey Jacobsen
This paper provides evidence that stock traders focus on round numbers as cognitive reference points for value. Using a random sample of more than 100 million stock transactions, we find excess buying (selling) by liquidity demanders at all price points one penny below (above) round numbers. Further, the size of the buy-sell imbalance is monotonic in the roundness of the adjacent round number (i.e., largest adjacent to integers, second-largest adjacent to half-dollars, etc.). Conditioning on the price path, we find much stronger excess buying (selling) by liquidity demanders when the ask falls (bid rises) to reach the integer than when it crosses the integer. We discuss and test three explanations for these results. Finally, 24-hour returns also vary by price point and buy-sell imbalances are a major determinant of that variation across price points. Buying (selling) by liquidity demanders below (above) round numbers yield losses approaching $1 billion per year.
Bhattacharya, Utpal, Craig W. Holden, and Stacey Jacobsen, 2012, "Penny Wise, Dollar Foolish: Buy-Sell Imbalances On and Around Round Numbers," Management Science 15, 413-431.

In French, if someone asks you how old you are, you respond, "J'ai 51 ans", which translates to "I have 51 years." It one of the quirks of grammar between the languages, which don't always intersect. In English, we do say, "I own _______" (fill in blank with something of which you have global, all-encompassing command of), which is a popular phrase, one that I haven't been able to translate to French friends.
(I recently said on Twitter that "…Karen Carpenter owns the Christmas carols", which probably confused non-native English speakers, and perhaps a few English-speaking ones that aren't wise enough to appreciate Karen's proprietorship of Christmas music as much as I do.)
Last year when I had 50 years, I celebrated with a birthday bouillotte. But this year, I'm not going to get so crazy. When your birthday falls two days after Christmas—and an unspecified number of days after Hannukah, and during Kwanzaa, it's hard to rouse much enthusiasm amongst friends and family. And because it's a week where a lot of people choose to travel, most people have headed out of town. Either that, or I've finally done it, and managed to offend everyone I know because they're not returning my phone calls or e-mails. (And who says I have no talents?)

MALE', Maldives; July 22, 2011– MEGA Maldives Airlines today successfully completed the first direct scheduled flight from Beijing Capital International Airport to Male'. The Male' International Airport was in a festive mood in anticipation of the arrival of this historic first flight by a local airline and was celebrated with traditional Maldivian entertainment. A welcoming committee in traditional formal dress welcomed the passengers with flowers as they exited the aircraft. Many passengers stopped to take pictures with the members of the welcoming committee and in front of the aircraft. Later, members of the media were able to go onboard the aircraft for a brief tour. The flight carried 223 passengers to Male', who were heading off to various resort destinations in the Maldives.
The Beijing route launched today was key target destination from the very beginning of services by MEGA Maldives Airlines and to have successfully achieved that target is a proud moment to the company, its management and all staff.
The non-stop capital-to-capital scheduled route from Beijing to the Maldives will invigorate bilateral trade for both Maldivian and Chinese entrepreneurs alike seeking new business opportunities and will contribute to the already close diplomatic relationship between the two countries.
On Monday, 25th of July, MEGA Maldives Airlines will hold a press conference to recognize the successful launch of the Beijing and Shanghai direct flights. The airline will also introduce its second class of cabin crew, who are now completing their rigorous training and beginning to join operations.
The on-going drive by the company to create new jobs in the country's aviation industry continues this week with the recruitment of the third class of cabin crews on Wednesday 27th of July. An open interview day will be held at CHSE from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm for the recruitment, with priority given to applicants who apply before the date to the MEGA Maldives Airlines office.
MEGA Maldives Airlines appreciates and thank the efforts of all who have been contributed to the success of the airline from the beginning, for the support, guidance, and oversight.

MEBANE — Eastern Alamance coach John Kirby said his team's offense is "kind of potent, and when they're on, they're pretty good."
Perhaps a bit of an understatement, but a fair assessment.
The Eagles routed McMichael 75-7 on Friday night thanks to five touchdowns from running back Malcolm Summers in both teams' Mid-State 3-A Conference opener.
Summers got the scoring started early. The Eagles (3-1) took the ball on the Phoenix's 46-yard line after the defense forced a punt. Quarterback Joey Lanier completed a 27-yard pass to receiver Malik Wilson — one of just two passes the Eagles threw all night — before Summers took an end around to the left and raced into the end zone. On Eastern Alamance's next possession, which started at the McMichael 24, Summers ran twice, the second for 1 yard and a touchdown.
The junior wasn't done. The Eagles' defense forced two straight four-and-outs. Summers ran both punts back for scores, the first for 56 yards and the second for 55 yards. He tacked on a 2-yard rushing score a couple of minutes later.
That was all in the first quarter.
"Malcolm had a great night," Kirby said. "He had a complete game. When he was at the running back spot, he made a couple key blocks that sprung his teammates."
Summers finished with 10 carries for 105 yards on the ground, tacking on 128 yards on punt returns.
"I just did what I did," he said. "Thanks to my line and everybody blocking for me. It wasn't just me."
Not only did Summers show up to play, the Eagles' defense came out strong. The Fighting Phoenix (0-4) managed 60 total yards in the first half as Eastern Alamance's defense bounced back from a rough outing against Southern Alamance a week earlier in which they gave up 54 points, the most points an Eagles team had allowed in a game since 2004.
"This was great, especially coming off last week, where our defense was being questioned and our aggression," said cornerback Ryan Woods, who had an interception of quarterback Forrest Bullins. "I think this was great, this was the exact push we needed, especially going into conference play."
The Eagles got three second-quarter touchdowns, one each from Brandon Bryner, Josh Lynch and John Lamot, to put the score at 55-0.
The teams agreed to play with a running clock in the second half, but that didn't slow down Eastern Alamance. Lanier punched in from 1 yard out 2½ minutes into the third quarter to put the Eagles ahead 62-0. Lamot and Lynch added long touchdown runs in the fourth quarter.
McMichael's lone score came on a 1-yard quarterback dive from Austin Elrod with 6:51 left in the fourth quarter.
"They showed up and we didn't," said McMichael coach Charles Shields. "We've been riddled with poor numbers and low numbers and a lot of injuries and we're basically relegated to a JV football team at this point. It is what it is. We can't make excuses for it, it's just reality."
McMichael running back Chris Wheeler was the lone bright spot for the Fighting Phoenix, finishing with 20 carries for 115 yards — 99 of those yards in the second half against backup Eagles defenders.
Lamot ended with eight carries for 135 yards and two scores, while Lynch had seven carries for 90 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Eagles' running game really got going.
"We threw two passes, we ran the football, our offensive front made blocks, our running backs made blocks and our receivers made blocks and our guys ran," Kirby said. "I'm proud of our football team because it was a tough loss last week and we bounced back and played really well."
Summers said last week's performance was a big motivating factor.
"We had to come back from last week," he said. "It fueled us to get better this game. I guess the scoreboard showed it. It's a statement saying that we're coming and we're going to do our best to try to win the state championship."

Our Square Fan Wedding Programs are beautiful...and useful at a hot July wedding in an un-air-conditioned barn loft! We loved the ability to choose a design, add our own photo to personalize it, and even alter the text boxes (albeit through written instruction) The service center was incredibly helpful...we appreciated it. Delivery was quick, too!

Billiel was charged with public indecency, a third-degree misdemeanor, and resigned his position as editor, effective today.
Few details were immediately available. The sheriff's department will conduct a press conference at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, at which time the names of all subjects will be released.
The alleged incidents took place in a Shelby County park, Sheriff John Lenhart confirmed earlier today.

CARSON, Calif. - For the second time in two years, the LA Galaxy will visit the White House to celebrate their MLS Cup triumph, but as opposed to last year, the Galaxy will meet President Barack Obama in far better straits than they were a season ago.
In 2012, the club found themselves in seventh place in the nine-team Western Conference with a record of 3-5-2 by the time that the White House visit rolled around in May, but this year, four games into a busy 2013 slate, LA is undefeated in all competitions with a 2-0-2 record.
The record won't be the only difference as the Galaxy will not meet President Obama along as they will be joined by the Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings, who are also owned by AEG.
"It's a great honor. It's great for our two teams, the Galaxy and Kings, the champions of their respective leagues and AEG," said Arena. "It'll be a fabulous day for our organization so we're looking for it."
Although The White House trip will serve as a celebration of last season's achievements, one member of the Galaxy believes that once it is over, it may help the team get into the right mindset for the long 2013 season.
"We got to [visit the White House] last year, but we don't take things like that for granted so I'm definitely looking forward to it," said Magee. "[The MLS Cup title] is a little fresher in our minds so maybe getting it over with might help us mentally. Last time we were there, we were last place in the world so it'll be good to put that behind us and get that visit out of the way and focus on this year."

CARSON, Calif. – Landon Donovan will be returning to the LA Galaxy next week and according to head coach Bruce Arena, the plan is for him to attend the club's White House visit next Tuesday.
Arena revealed following Thursday's training session that the club is "planning on Landon going" to the White House visit next week. LA is scheduled to visit the White House on Tuesday along with the Stanley Cup Champion LA Kings.
Although Donovan is scheduled to attend the visit, Arena admits that it will take some time for the forward to reach game fitness.
"Naturally, a player of Landon's caliber would be great to bring back into the team. We need to be patient, it's going to take some time," Arena said when asked about Donovan's integration. "You don't go from being away to stepping on the field and being ready to play and being up to the level that he left us in December. It's going to take some time and we need to be patient."
What are your thoughts on Donovan's return?

MLS Commissioner Don Garber revealed that the league was looking for ways to soften the fixture blow on MLS clubs competiting in the CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals and on Thursday, they delivered.
The league announced on Thursday that the Galaxy's match against the Montreal Impact at The Home Depot Center, which was originally scheduled for April 6 has been moved to Oct. 16. Meanwhile, Seattle Sounders FC also saw their April 6 match against Chivas USA moved to Sept. 4.
In addition to the league match, the Galaxy's MLS Reserve League opener against the USLPro's LA Blues on April 7 at CSU-Fullerton will also be rescheduled. No date for that match has been set yet.
Seattle open their CCL semifinal series against Santos Laguna on April 3 at CenturyLink Field while the Galaxy host Monterrey on April 4 at The HDC.
CARSON, Calif. – Jose Villarreal and Jack McBean have been performing well as of late as each have scored at least one goal during the LA Galaxy's last two matches. With the teenagers in form and Robbie Keane away on international duty, it would not be a shock to see Bruce Arena opt for an all-Homegrown forward corps during Saturday's match against the Colorado Rapids.
Villarreal and McBean each bagged goals in the CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal second leg against C.S. Herediano, but McBean notched his second goal in five days with a late strike in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Chivas USA. The teenagers aren't the only options as Mike Magee started the MLS regular season opener against the Chicago Fire and the CCL quarterfinal first leg against Herediano up top alongside Keane.
If it is the youngsters and Magee is stationed out wide, the Galaxy attacker believes that they could cause some damage against the Rapids back line.
"I think it'd be great. I think it'd be good for them to play with each other because their confidence will be a little better," said Magee. "I know the first time that I played with Robbie, I was a bit intimidated and I'm sure Jose and Jack were as well. With them together, hopefully they can link up and build confidence. Knowing that, I have to do a better job of getting up there [from midfield] and instill a little confidence in them."
Regardless of who steps in for Keane, Magee feels that any of the Galaxy's forwards will be able to fill the captain's shoes.
"Obviously, those are some big shoes to fill and he's a guy that we rely on to score goals and create chances. Whether it's the youngsters or myself or a combination of one of them and me, we'll be fine," said Magee. "Obviously Jack and Jose have done well to score goals and I have as well, so they deserve minutes, but we'll be fine either way."
Do you think a McBean and Villarreal forward partnership can succeed? Or would you rather see Magee with one of the youngsters?
Share your thoughts below.
Speaking to ESPN The Magazine reporter Doug McIntyre, LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena touched on a number of topics including the Galaxy, the U.S. national team, those in the U.S. who don't watch MLS, and a host of other topics.
Perhaps Arena's best Galaxy related quote is regarding LA's bid for a third straight MLS Cup title.
"I don't think the league would be happy," Arena told ESPN The Magazine. "The league's plan is to not have any club be particularly good for an extended period of time. That's the basis of the single entity [ownership structure], to bring about parity. It would be good for our organization, but that's not our focus"
Read all of Arena's comments in the story here.
More Notes are below...
*Arena's comments come after Brian Straus' sensational piece in The Sporting News about the discontent with U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
*Michael Bradley addressed the story on Wednesday describing criticism against Klinsmann as "shameful."
*Clint Dempsey will serve as the U.S. captain for both upcoming World Cup Qualifiers against Costa Rica and Mexico.
*Former Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Saunders will make his Real Salt Lake debut this week with RSL's number one goalkeeper Nick Rimando away on international duty.
CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy defender Oscar Sorto was not a member of the U.S. U-20 team that qualified for the U-20 World Cup in Turkey by way of last month's U-20 CONCACAF Championship, but his dream of heading to Turkey lives on.
U.S. U-20 head coach Tab Ramos called the 18-year-old for two training camps, the first in December in Florida as well as a week-long camp in Puebla, Mexico in January, but did not name Sorto to the 20-man roster for the U-20 CONCACAF Championship. But if the call from Ramos does not come, Sorto has other options as he could also suit up for El Salvador, who also qualified for U-20 World Cup.
The nation of his parents' birth has been aggressive in their recruiting of the Galaxy Homegrown defender, but Sorto remains interested in joining the U.S. set up.
"They were sending me emails, but Tab Ramos sent me a message that he was going to call me up for April's camp so I'm going to just wait on El Salvador to see if Ramos takes me to the World Cup," said Sorto. "Right now, I'm just waiting for the U.S. call. El Salvador was on me and I didn't want to say yes to them and no to the U.S. so that's why I was being patient for them to call me."
As he waits for his chance with the U-20's Sorto believes he is continuing his improvement on a daily basis with the Galaxy.
"Right now, I feel like I'm improving, getting better and listening to every coach," said Sorto. "Just listening to them is helping me become a better player."
CARSON, Calif. –This could be a huge week for LA Galaxy forward Chandler Hoffman.
Since being acquired from the Philadelphia Union on March 1, the 2012 MLS SuperDraft First Round draft pick has yet to make an appearance for the Galaxy. However, with captain Robbie Keane away on international duty, Hoffman has an outside shot of filling in for the Irish forward.
Jack McBean, Jose Villarreal and Mike Magee appear to be the front runners to man the forward position for Saturday's match against the Colorado Rapids, but Hoffman is looking to state his case to head coach Bruce Arena.
"There's definitely an opening this week with Robbie gone on international duty and Omar [Gonzalez] gone as well. I'm trying to train as hard as I can and try to prove that I deserve a chance on the field," said Hoffman. "I feel ready, I've been here two and a half weeks now and I've kind of got used to how the club works and how guys go about preparing for games. I feel like I'm ready to step up if called upon."
Hoffman admits that while there were initial jitters when he joined the Galaxy, but after spending the past several weeks integrating himself in the squad, he feels ready to contribute.
"I've been staying after training whenever possible to work on finishing and working on whatever I can to get better and try to learn from Robbie and Mike," said Hoffman, who admits that he has placed close attention to Keane's training habits. "Anything that I can pick up, I want to incorporate in my game and help this team get victories."
The LA Galaxy will host a Online Town Hall with LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena and club President Chris Klein on Thursday from 1-2 PT.
Time Warner Cable SportsNet reporter Kelli Tennant will MC the event and fans can send in questions either on the Galaxy website or on Twitter using the hashtag #GalaxyTownhall

TwinStickShooter is now free!
To celebrate something (we're not sure what), TwinStickShooter is now a free game! That means everyone can enjoy the game without paying a dime for it! There's another TwinStickShooter related announcement, and that is that the game is no longer available through IndieVania, since that entire website went offline. Fortunately, we've made the game available through itch.io instead!
TwinStickShooter update
A small TwinStickShooter update has been released on IndieCity, Desura and IndieVania. The update fixes a problem with some achievements that wouldn't unlock and some issues with the installer were resolved. An updated version of the demo has also been released through both our website and IndieCity. The old version wouldn't always launch properly when running in fullscreen mode. This issue has been resolved in the new version.

I hated grinding in WoW, but i really don't mind it in Tera. I've killed queen hm over 100 times and i still enjoy the fight a lot, in wow I would usually be tired of an instance after the 5th or so farm raid, if not even before.
Though, I still hate the crafting system.
Leveling in isle of dawn again (just finished). I see an over abundance of zerkers. No mystics and No lancers and no Sorcs
Mostly zerkers and slayers, a few priests and archers.
Also, yeah, with the free seven and they added almost every old player went to zerk. Mostly because they are the easiest class at 60 to pull high dps. Sorcs will still beat them, but zerkers just need the right crystals to hit for a million
btw @ lvl 60 are ranger good for dps/pvp ?
Not to mention that there are few zones you can actually skip, but since you say Tera has the best dungeons I assume you ran them as much as you could while leveling. That's not something I really enjoy doing, I did each one twice at best to complete story quests and then moved on. Even only leveling with rested experience that wasn't enough for me to be able to skip any zones.
Different tastes, I guess. I never got tired of leveling in WoW, especially after the revamp of the 1-60 content. Plenty of variety when you needed it between multiple zones, dungeons, the ability to level through PvP, etc. Tera, though, as an altoholic I burned out really quickly. It didn't help that if I hated a zone (looking at you, Essenia) I didn't have much of a choice but to complete it. It was either that or run the same level appropriate dungeon ad nauseum, which wasn't much better.
I guess we just do have much different tastes. I do understand what you mean though, I can see for some people how kill this and this and this and this over and over would get very boring. It never got boring for me except on my priest and mystic, bu thats probably because i cant stand leveling healers. But the combat was the highlight for me, so it was easy for me to enjoy it the most. Plus, I can't seem to stand the leveling in wow. Never got in to it. And on the dungeon note, what class did you play?I've realized that while playing my lancer it has been a million times more enjoyable.
Mystic leveling is stupid boring. Their attacks have zero depth. Priest is some what better but yea I get they are not suppose to be competitive dps but holy cow is it stale.
As far as fun leveling goes( mind you my lancer is only 35 right now) I would probably rank in order of fun as: lancer, slayer, sorc, archer, warrior, zerk, priest, mystic. The healers are just so damn boring and play the same from 1-60 basically.
I will concede that I rank zerker much lower than it should be. It was fun, but I couldn't stand the fact that it took 50+ levels to really feel the class. Most of the other classes, cept healers cause I just don't really enjoy playing them, showed their potential/potential much earlier.
For me, I've always enjoyed the leveling process for any mmo I play. Its not necessarily about the quests or the combat...but revisiting dungeons again. Its just not as fun at max lvl as it is going through the dungeon at appropriate levels, even tho you do get a few groups that cause headache.
I don't know. Dungeons in tera were always kinda addicting. I couldn't help but want to run them over and over, especially as a lancer. There's just so much going on that I can't help but enjoy it.
i decided to lvl a archer this time around since that what i rolled in aion so if its as hard as people make it seem it should be easy for me
You know, the funny thing is I hated my lancer. I leveled all the classes to at least 45 and lancer was by far my least favorite. The only way I'd play it is if my bf accompanied me with his sorceress. The killing is so ridiculously slower than any other class -- yes, even mystic -- it's just unbearable. I've never enjoyed playing a tank in dungeons either.
Honestly, I didn't find mystic anywhere near as bad as other people said. At least up until level 40-45 they are massive killing machines. I could pull basically everything in sight and AoE it down with no problems. It made those endless killing quests go by very quickly. Priest was similar, but the fact that they get dropped on their ass if an enemy just breathes on them wrong became a huge turn off in the long run. It got to where every fight was a challenge just to stay on my feet long enough to even do any damage.
Slayer and 'zerker were probably my overall favorites. Playing a sorc, warrior, or archer after those two felt like a huge downgrade in dps combined with needing to put in a lot more effort to get the job done.

Maine Squeeze: Maine Squeeze and Banana Splitsville (Paperback)
Two irresistible and hilarious love stories (and really cute boys)!
In Maine Squeeze, eighteen-year-old Colleen Templeton can't wait for summer. She's going to share a house with her best friends, earn money for college, and spend every free moment with her boyfriend, Ben. It's the perfect plan. At least until she discovers that she's going to be working side by side with Evan, the guy she dated last summerthe best summer of her life . . . until he broke her heart. Will Colleen be able to keep her cool when this summer starts heating up?
Courtney Von Dragen Smith didn't plan on being single her senior year. But in Banana Splitsville, thanks to her now-ex-boyfriend Dave, single is exactly what she is. And miserable. That's okay, though, because she has a plan: steer clear of boys for the rest of high school. Oh, and stick to a new vegan diet. But it turns out that ignoring all guys (well, really one guy in particular) is about as hard as keeping away from sundaes when you work at Truth or Dairy. Is Courtney falling in love again? (With more than that dish of scrumptious ice cream?)

Embattled Rice bows out; Kerry new front-runner
Friday - 12/14/2012, 1:17am EST
By BEN FELLER and JULIE PACE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Susan Rice, the embattled U.N. ambassador, abruptly withdrew from consideration to be the next secretary of state on Thursday after a bitter, weekslong standoff with Republican senators who declared they would fight to defeat her nomination.
The reluctant announcement makes Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry the likely choice to be the nation's next top diplomat when Hillary Rodham Clinton departs soon. Rice withdrew when it became clear her political troubles were not going away, and support inside the White House for her potential nomination had been waning in recent days, administration officials said.
In another major part of the upcoming Cabinet shake-up for President Barack Obama's second term, former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska now is seen as the front-runner to be defense secretary, with official word expected as soon as next week.
For the newly re-elected president, Rice's withdrawal was a sharp political setback and a sign of the difficulties Obama faces in a time of divided and divisive government. Already, he had been privately weighing whether picking Rice would cost him political capital he would need on later votes.
When Rice ended the embarrassment by stepping aside, Obama used the occasion to criticize Republicans who were adamantly opposed to her possible nomination.
"While I deeply regret the unfair and misleading attacks on Susan Rice in recent weeks, her decision demonstrates the strength of her character," he said.
"I am saddened we have reached this point," Rice said.
Obama made clear she would remain in his inner circle, saying he was grateful she would stay as "our ambassador at the United Nations and a key member of my Cabinet and national security team." Rice, too, said in her letter she would be staying.
Clinton, in a brief statement, said that Rice had "been an indispensable partner over the past four years" and that she was confident "that she will continue to represent the United States with strength and skill."
Rice had become the face of the bungled administration account of what happened in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, when four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, were killed in what is now known to have been a terrorist attack.
Obama had defiantly declared he would chose her for secretary of state regardless of the political criticism, if he wanted, but such a choice could have gotten his second term off to a turbulent start with Capitol Hill.
In a letter to Obama, Rice said she was convinced the confirmation process would be "lengthy, disruptive and costly." The letter was part of a media rollout aimed at upholding her reputation. It included an NBC News interview in which she said her withdrawal "was the best thing for our country."
"Those of you who know me know that I'm a fighter, but not at the cost of what's right for our country," she tweeted later.
Rice may end up close to Obama's side in another way, as his national security adviser should Tom Donilon move on to another position, though that is not expected imminently. The security adviser position would not require Senate confirmation.
Rice would have faced strong opposition from Senate Republicans who challenged her much-maligned televised comments about the cause of the deadly raid on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Her efforts to satisfy Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Kelly Ayotte and Susan Collins in unusual, private sessions on Capitol Hill fell short. The Republicans emerged from the meetings still expressing doubts about her qualifications.
"The position of secretary of state should never be politicized," Rice said. "As someone who grew up in an era of comparative bipartisanship and as a sitting U.S national security official who has served in two U.S. administrations, I am saddened that we have reached this point."
Attention now shifts to Kerry, who came close to winning the presidency in 2004 and has been seen as desiring the State job. In a statement, he made no mention of his own candidacy but praised Rice, who was an adviser to him in his presidential bid. Kerry was an early backer of Obama and was under consideration to become his first secretary of state. Obama has dispatched Kerry to foreign hot spots on his behalf. Kerry played the role of Republican Mitt Romney during Obama's presidential debate preparations this year.
The longtime senator would be almost certain to be easily confirmed by his colleagues on Capitol Hill.
If Obama taps Kerry for State, the president will create a potential problem for Democrats by opening a Senate seat _ one that recently defeated Republican Sen. Scott Brown is eyeing. Brown had been elected as Massachusetts' other senator in January 2010 after Democrat Ted Kennedy died, stunning the political world as he took the seat held by Kennedy for decades. Brown lost that seat in the November election.
