Can't wait to see EG playing with passion at full strength ! Go EG ! Go Hornets !!!
He posted this one yesterday:
I'm so ready for this season to start. About 7 weeks till training camp. IM READy.— Eric Gordon (@TheofficialEG10) August 15, 2012
And this one just now:
Man!!!!! I was a little heavy coming back after knee surgery. YIKES!!! twitter.com/TheofficialEG1— Eric Gordon (@TheofficialEG10) August 15, 2012
Seems as though he has found a likeable personality after all of this contract stuff went away.

I'm with Gordon, can't wait for training camp, and to see not only Gordon, but the rest of these young guys perform as well.
Sorry about the double pic, tried to edit the post but HR is not letting me.
Good to know that he's ready.
If fat Gordon drops 20 ppg, I'm looking forward to healthy Gordon.
EJ is the lightest he has ever been since even his days as a Hoosier. I am guessing we will see similar numbers to his 10-11 season with the Clippers. Before he fractured his wrist, he was averaging 24.6 points per game for the first four months of the season.
When is training camp?
And EJ wil beast this year
True Love
Yeah, somebody else must be handling his twitter account. Look at how much better the grammar is on these two tweets compared to previous tweets.
Can't wait to see him and Davis destroy CP3 and Griffin. I wish training camp started tomorrow.
What i heard from a family member who stay in Indiana, said they asked him how would he feel to build a house and family in NOLA, they said he cracked up laughing & said "he love the fans and city, but nothing can replace his home." Until he get a ring in NOLA ! Sorry I didn't been post it, but it happened like 3 weeks ago.
2013-1014 is the season the Pelicans fanbase grows!!!!
Definitely, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else but New Orleans even if I was a billionaire, this is my city, my heart, so yea it's everything to me.
i am glad he has a heart transplant (since his whining episode early) about playing for Hornets......EG10 needs to be a leader & organizational presence and face for this franchise of a young & developing team...I think EG10 is ready to silence his doubters and earn his keep..... My prediction for EG10 .....Average 25pts, 5 Steals, 3-4 Rebouds a Game.....

I actually just inspected some raw castings for this today. They look good so we gave them
the go ahead to send them to be machined. I'm not sure where we are on their schedule so
I can't give you a hard date but it's a local tooling company that we work with quite a bit
doing the machining so I don't think it will be too long.
Sorry thats all the info I can give you right now.Kevin Schuh

It sounds as if Miller is on top of this one...may take some time...BUT, if it comes down to it, if you have a broken part and a welder and a lathe and a milling machine and know how they work/how to use them YOU CAN MAKE ANYTHING!! That is my "motto" and so far I haven't been stumped!Don J

Comments about Shimano Internal Hub Grease:
After about 5000 miles of almost daily use, my Shimano Nexus 3-speed coaster hub was starting to make an awful screech when the brake was applied. After doing a bit of research, I found that the lubricant was old and worn out and I needed to put some more lubricant in the hub. Maybe some other lithium-based lubricant will do the job, but I didn't take any chances and ordered the Shimano grease. The procedure was easy: After removing the rear wheel, I opened up the hub on the coaster-brake side, pulled out the coaster brake shoes, wiped out the dirty old grease, and squeezed a generous amount of this goop in the hub, reinstalled the shoes, topped it all off with some more goop and re-assembled. The improvement was noticeable. The hub operates more quietly and smoothly, and the brakes are smooth and quiet.

As in title, i'm after a selection of shoes (sizes listed below) and i'm willing to pay a good, not rape, but a good price for all. I have the money ready to go, with even more funds coming early January, so i'm after quite a few pairs of these (depending on the prices).
ANY AM1 HAVE TO BE EITHER UK 9.5 or 10
ANY HUARACHE LE or THE INNEVA WOVEN HAVE TO BE EITHER UK10 or 10.5
Particular Air Max 1's I am after are:
HOA OG Red
Patta x Parra Cherrywood (for a good price)
Patta Chlorophyll
Patta Lucky Green
1b Safari
x Supreme Keep Rippin Stop Slippin
Dirty Denim
Maxim 1+ Red
Parra Maxim 1+
BUT if the shoe you own and have for sale isn't on this list, just contact me (details given below) and if I like the shoe, i will probably buy, and that goes for all models (AM1, 90 etc)
Particular Air Max 90's I am after are:
HOA Infrared
Infrareds from 2000
Any of the VT pack
Particular Huarache LE I am after are:
For this shoe, I am not really 'bothered'. I have the ACG Mowabb's atm, and would love another pair - any real c/w, preferably white based, but I would probably put an offer in for ANY c/w saying they are in a very good condition and wearable.
Like I said above, I am after the Inneva Woven's in preferably a UK10.
I'm also after the Air 180 x Size?, so if you have them, let me know
All the shoe I want to buy must in a very good condition, DS is quite a priority, but I will settle for VNDS once i've seen the shoe via photos. I would love everything OG to be included, but again, it's not my #1 priority.
Contact me by replying to this post, sending me a PM or email me (preference, as once you message/pm me, i'll refer you to my email)
my email address is:
and as long as I am awake (UK time) and not importantly busy (hardly ever), I will reply within minutes.
Shoes must be shipped to me (in the UK), so name your price including this.
Paypal ready to go, or meet up's in Birmingham (UK).
(if you require feedback, I can refer you to previous collectors I have brought shoes off)
Thank you, and I'll be waiting to hear from some of you

Connemara - for Cyclists and Tourists
With the Mayo Greenway a huge success and the Connemara Greenway in the planning process, which is wonderful as it will be a great benefit to both visitor and local alike. We might think we're pretty innovative in creating these cycling routes.....well, we've been pipped to the post by R. J. Mecredy & Company Limited (c. 1930) at the Irish Cyclist Office in Dame Court, Dublin!
An old friend of the proprietor of Renvyle House came across 'Mecredy's Road Map - Connemara, for Cyclists and Tourists' taking in "Dangerous Hills, Nature of Road Surfaces, Scenery, etc." I cannot find a date on the map but assume it's from the 1930's as it mentions the Clifden Railway, which was closed in 1935. The cycling routes in this map take in Connemara, Galway, Achill and the West. It is a beautiful map and lists various hotels along the way, one of them being Renvyle House with Mrs. Blake as the proprietor.
Other hotels in Connemara mentioned on the reverse side of the map include The Railway Hotel in Clifden, Mongan's hotel in Carna, John Wallace's hotel in Maam, the Zetland Arms Hotel, King's Hotel in Leenane, Lyden's Hotel in Clifden, the Leenane Hotel in Killery Bay, the Letterfrack Hotel with proprietress Mrs. O'Grady and many more gems.
I particularly loved the helpful advice to cyclists in the west of Ireland 'Hints and Explanations' and they are worth sharing:
"Our Standard of good and bad roads is based on the average of the United Kingdom. Cyclists, therefore, who are used to snad-papered surfaces which obtain on roads such as the Great North Road, between Biggleswade and Peterborough, in England, must not be disappointed if the roads marked Blue do not come up to their expectations.
Head winds and mud make a great difference in one's impressions. Roads vary very much at different seasons of the year and under different circumstances. For example, a long drought will sometimes make an otherwise excellent road like a bed of a torrent, and wholesale metalling will make the surface seem atrociously bad.
In Connemara, high winds are very frequent and usually blow from the West. Consequently it is better to enter the country from the North-West, as at Westport, and leave it at Galway."

Debi Mazar: 'I'm So Busted!' Big-Tobacco Whistleblower of 'The Insider' Fame Chides Flick's Star for Smoking
"Having played one of the '60 Minutes' producers who helped bust Big Tobacco in 'The Insider,' Debi Mazar was red-faced this week after the film's real-life hero dressed her down for lighting up." That's the word from the New York Post's Page Six column. "During a live interview on BlogTalkRadio, host Olivia Wilder asked Mazar, 'Are you a smoker?' 'I don't have to answer that question. It's irrelevant,' the actress replied," continues the report.
"In the next breath, however, she admitted, 'I smoke from time to time but I got the facts and I don't smoke in front of my children. I quit and then I start. I quit and then I start. Right now, I'm somewhere in between.'"
Unfortunately for Debi, Jeffrey Wigand – the fired Brown & Williamson veep who in 1995 blew the whistle on the company for making its cigarettes more addictive by adding a cancer-causing agent – was listening and called the show. "You still smoking?" Jeffrey (who was played by Russell Crowe in the 1999 flick) asked Debi. "I'm so busted! I'm having a little bit here and there, yes. Is this a smoking intervention?" she said, later adding, "I've had two kids. After the breast milk dries up if [cigarettes] are sitting around, it's very tempting."
Jeffrey's final warning? "Stick around for your grandkids!"

HAZARD—Approximately 800,000 federal workers across the nation are not at work this week after Congress failed last week to approve a stop-gap measure to fund the federal government. Some effects of the first government shutdown in 17 years are now being felt locally.
The White House ordered the shutdown of non-essential services following the congressional impasse. Members of the Republican-controlled House of Representatives had approved multiple resolutions to continue funding the government, but attached measures to either repeal, defund, or otherwise delay the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. The Senate, controlled by Democrats, refused to approve the plan as long as it contained measures to affect the health care law, resulting in last week's shutdown.
Despite the halt in most government services, not a lot has changed at the local level thus far, though there remains some uncertainty if the shutdown persists.
Social Security and unemployment payments were still to be sent out as usual, and the Eastern Kentucky Veterans Center in Hazard is operating normally. The U.S. Postal Service is also operating at normal levels, as the agency is exempt from federal furloughs.
Other agencies, such as the Mine Safety and Health Administration, were expected to see a drastic downturn in activities as nearly 1,400 of the agency's 2,355 employees were to be furloughed, according to MSHA's own plan released last month. MSHA will still maintain certain "key functions," utilizing 768 employees to inspect specific mines across the country based on past history. They will also investigate accidents and miners' complaints.
An employee in MSHA's Hazard office declined to comment last week, directing any questions to the agency's Washington, D.C. headquarters. A call made to MSHA's main telephone number was greeted with a message noting certain government activities have been suspended due to a "lapse in funding."
Local residents depending on the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, known as LIHEAP, can expect at least a week's delay in funding to help pay electric bills for the winter months.
LKLP Executive Director Rick Baker said the sign up period of LIHEAP has been delayed a week, and at present participants won't be able to sign up until Nov. 12, a delay that the area's low-income families were not counting on.
"Typically, people who use this program year after year, they know when it starts," Baker said. "They plan on having that money. It's having an effect on low-income people."
Additionally, the federal government has not yet allocated LIHEAP funds to each state, and if the shutdown persists and that award is delayed, it could push back the sign-up period even further.
Likely to be alarming to mothers with young children, on Tuesday of last week the government also suspended funding of the WIC program during the shutdown. WIC provides education, nutritious foods, and access to certain health-care services to low-income mothers with young children.
According to news reports, WIC services remain online for the time being by utilizing a $125 million contingency fund that was only expected to last for a week, as nearly 9 million people rely on the program.
Anya Weber, information officer for Kentucky's Cabinet for Health and Family Services, said on Wednesday there has been no interruption of services to Kentucky's WIC participants due to the shutdown. In 2012, she added, 130,000 people participated in the program.
Weber said last week the cabinet will be able to "maintain business as usual in the near term," and officials are evaluating other programs relying on federal grants to determine how long they will be able to function at present levels. The states's Medicaid program, for instance, has funding to continue.
"A number of state programs that rely on federal funds have prior year grant balances they are still spending," Weber said. "For those, as long as the federal draw process functions, we should be OK. However, not all programs have prior year grant balances. That process of completing the cabinet wide analysis will take a day or so to fully complete."
In terms of recreation, anyone coming to Perry County expecting to use the campgrounds near Buckhorn Lake's dam will not be given access, as the U.S. Corps of Engineers closed that portion of the park due to the shutdown. It will not reopen until funding is reinstated. Other recreation areas at Corps lakes are also being affected, according to a press release issued on Tuesday. State and local parks, however, have not been affected.
"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers understands the impact that these actions might have on the American recreating public if we are required to close our recreation areas," said Col. Luke Leonard, Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District commander. "We know that this is a time of year when many vacationing families are using or planning to use Corps recreation facilities, and we will reopen them for public use and enjoyment as quickly as possible."
In the meantime, there is currently no end in sight for the shutdown, with Republican House members unwilling to budge on a continuing resolution without concessions on the health care law, and Democrats unwilling to accept any changes to it.

The iconic introduction – "Bond, James Bond" – is there.
The beautiful Bond girls are there.
The megalomaniacal villain is there.
The exotic locations are there.
"M" and "Q" are there.
The spectacular opening action sequence is there.
The memorable song (sung by Adele) is there.
And, most important, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson are there.
If Broccoli and Wilson are there, you know that "Skyfall," which opens today, is the genuine article. Yes, 007 is back for his 23rd adventure.
Broccoli – whose father, Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli, and business partner Harry Saltzman started the Bond film franchise 50 years ago with "Dr. No" – has been on James Bond movie sets since she was a baby. She started her film career as an assistant director on "Octopussy," and joined her half-brother Michael as a producing team on "GoldenEye."
Wilson, Cubby's stepson, went into the family business on "The Spy Who Loved Me" as an assistant to the producer, and later executive-produced "Moonraker."
The siblings sat down with The Orange County Register just days before the opening of "Skyfall," in which Daniel Craig returns as the British secret agent with a license to kill, and Oscar-winner Javier Bardem portrays the villainous cyber-terrorist Silva, who is bent on destroying MI6 and its aging leader M (Judi Dench). The film was directed by Sam Mendes, who won an Oscar for directing "American Beauty."
ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER: You have been intimately involved with the Bond franchise for a long time, but you weren't involved in the early Bond films of the 1960s. What do those films mean to you?
BROCCOLI: Those movies created a whole new genre that didn't exist before. We look back to those films as inspiration, to remind ourselves that those films are the DNA of our films.
WILSON: They're classic films, and being classic films, they are used as templates by other filmmakers to tell stories.
OCR: Barbara, what are your earliest memories of the James Bond movies?
BROCCOLI: My earliest memories are of being in the Bahamas for "Thunderball," and then "You Only Live Twice." They're not exactly home movies for me, but they certainly trigger memories.
WILSON: We still watch those old films all the time, and I think "Goldfinger" had all the elements of the Bond movies you see today. Those early films set the world that people come to expect when they walk into a Bond movie.
OCR: How long did it take until you understood who James Bond was?
BROCCOLI: I thought he was a real person until "You Only Live Twice." He dominated the household. James Bond was all we talked about at the house. They were making them in rapid succession back then.
OCR: Given changing times and the public's fickleness, how has this franchise endured for 50 years?

According to Cosmopolitan, Frozen and Broadway star Idina Menzel expressed quite the excitement when recently asked if she would be willing to play Queen Elsa on the Broadway stage.

Men's Volleyball Sees Comeback Fall Just Short; Brewer Hits .520 With 17 Kills
February 14, 2014
MISENHEIMER, NC - The Pfeiffer men's volleyball team's (4-6, 3-2 CC) comeback bid came up just short as Lees-McRae (6-4, 2-2) came away with a dramatic 3-2 victory on Friday afternoon. Pfeiffer erased a 2-0 deficit and had three match point opportunities, but Lees-McRae took the fifth set, 20-18.
Michael Brewer and Sonny Hirini each had 17 kills for Pfeiffer, who hit .269 as a team. Brewer posted a .520 hitting percentage and added 11 digs for his second straight double-double. Fabio Diniz added 11 kills and eight assisted blocks, while David Specian handed out 54 assists.
Brady Markle had a game-high 21 kills for the Bobcats and Matt Harpenau added 20 kills and 11 digs.
The Falcons continued the trend of starting slowly, dropping the first set 25-21. Pfeiffer is now 3-7 in the opening set on the season, and have been outscored 240-228 in the opening frame.
Lees-McRae took the second set by a score of 25-19 as the Falcons hit .111.
Pfeiffer awoke in the third set and hit a scorching .500 for the game with 15 kills and only two errors. Brewer had five of his 17 kills in the set and Specian closed out the 25-18 victory with a kill.
The Falcons ran out to a 10-7 lead in the fourth set and seemed destined for a victory when they took a 21-18 lead on a kill from Brewer. However, Lees-McRae rallied and cut the lead to 22-21. Kyle Landigran cemented the win with a kill that was set up by Specian as Pfeiffer won 25-23, setting the stage for a dramatic fifth set.
The team's alternated the first eight points of the set before Lees-McRae scored two straight to take a 6-4 lead. Lees-McRae kept the momentum going and took a 9-7 lead on a kill by Kevin Morrison. Pfeiffer would respond with four straight points and six of the next seven tallies to take a 13-10 lead. However, the Bobcats refused to go down easily and scored three straight to tie the game. Hirini set up the first match point opportunity on a kill but Harpenau answered with a kill of his own to tie the score. Pfeiffer grabbed a 16-15 lead but Harpenau again had the evener, dodging the second match point. Evan Blair responded to give Pfeiffer a third chance to win but Hirini's service error ended that threat. Eventually, Lees-McRae got back-to-back kills from Morrison and Harpenau to get the win.
In total, the lead changed hands five times in the fifth set and was tied on 12 separate occasions.
Pfeiffer's 63 kills in the match were a season-high.
The Falcons return to action on Tuesday night a 7 p.m. as they host Coker in non-conference action.

The Washington state senators have no term limits. Senatorial terms last four years. Senators are elected from the same legislative districts as are members of the Washington State House of Representatives. Each district elects two representatives but only one senator.
Article II of the Washington Constitution establishes when the Washington State Legislature, of which the Senate is a part, is to be in session. Section 12 of Article II allows the dates of regular sessions to be determined by statute. Section 12 limits the length of regular sessions to 105 days in odd-numbered years and 60 days in even-numbered years.
Section 12 also establishes rules for convening special sessions of the Legislature. It states that special sessions can be called by the Governor of Washington or by resolution of two-thirds of the members of each legislative house. Special sessions are not to exceed 30 days in length.

In the latest edition of the "Galaxy All-Access Podcast" Joe Tutino speaks with myself and MLSsoccer.com's Scott French to give an early season assessment of the LA Galaxy. We touch on pleasant surprises on the team, disappointments, Designated Players, the CONCACAF Champions League, and a number of other topics in our discussion.
Check it out below.
CARSON, Calif. – There's no doubt that LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane is one of—if not the most—important player on his team.
The Irish forward has tallied five goals and four assists in just six matches so far this season. When Keane is the lineup, the Galaxy have scored 15 goals—five belong to Keane—and hold a 4-1-1 record,compared to a scant six tallies and a 2-4-1 record when he's unavailable.
Although the Galaxy clearly miss the Irish forward's production when he's away, LA head coach Bruce Arena says that there's simply no magic formula for replacing him.
"If you took LeBron James away from the Miami Heat, how do you think that they'd be? Those are the facts of life of sport. Good players make a difference. That's why we pay that player a lot of money," said Arena. "You don't swap a reserve for Robbie and if you have a way of doing that then I'd like for you to send me that formula. I'll go right to the lab and mix it up, and get it ready to go. Those are the facts of life."
On Saturday, the Galaxy will be without Keane yet again when LA travel to face Real Salt Lake. During their last visit to Rio Tinto Stadium, the Galaxy were without their Irish forward, but preserved as they smashed RSL 2-0 on April 27.
Despite not having Keane for a second straight match, LA midfielder Marcelo Sarvas admits that they'll simply have to move on and preform the job themselves.
"We cannot cry and we cannot think about this. He's not here. Omar [Gonzalez] is not here," said midfielder Marcelo Sarvas. "The guys that step on the field know that they must take the responsibility and it is their opportunity to show to the [coaching staff] that they can play.
"If you can't replace his technique then you can do another thing. You can fight," added Sarvas. "If you're not able to do the same things [as Keane] then you can find spaces and use your speed, fight, and help in the defense. Every player has their own characteristics."
CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena provided a brief update on the club's injury situation heading into this week's training prior to the team's match with Real Salt Lake on Saturday.
Just three players were listed on the club's injury report following LA's 5-0 defeat to the New England Revolution: Todd Dunivant (left quad strain), Leonardo (left ankle) and Jack McBean (fractured left clavicle).
"Jack is not clear yet. Todd is coming around. Leonardo is going to be a little bit," said Arena, who did not offer a timeline on Leonardo's status.
As for whether or not Dunivant could be available for this weekend's game against RSL, Arena did not rule the defender out of action.
"Possibly," said Arena. "It's possible. We'll see."
Could the LA Galaxy be searching south of the border for their third Designated Player? According to a report by ESPN Deportes' Tomas Colombo, the producer of the radio show Jorge Ramos y su Banda, the Galaxy have offered a contract to 24-year-old Mexican international Giovani Dos Santos.
According to the report, the Galaxy have offered a deal to Dos Santos, who signed a four year contract with Mallorca last summer. However, the report states that the Galaxy aren't the only team interested in the services of the Mexican midfielder as Spanish giants Valencia as well as Mexican club Queretaro have tendered offers.
Whether or not there is any validity in these reports remains to be seen, but when asked about the club's pursuit of Designated Players by LA Galaxy Insider last month, club President Chris Klein stated that the team is looking for the right fit.
"We'll continue to be aggressive in the Designated Player market and if someone comes along and it fits us and fits what we need then we'll be aggressive in pursuing that," said Klein.
What do you think about this rumor? Think it has a chance of happening? Could Dos Santos help the Galaxy?
Share your thoughts below.
The LA Galaxy have logged some heavy miles over the last few weeks.
Over their last five games in all competitions, LA has played just one match on the west coast with the rest taking place on the East Coast. LA's most recent trip out east ended in two defeats as the Galaxy fell 2-0 to the Carolina RailHawks in U.S. Open Cup play last Wednesday before dropping a 5-0 result to the New England Revolution
In fact, during their three trips to the east coast this season, the Galaxy are 1-3-1 in all competitions. The team's lone win in the Eastern Time Zone came on May 15 when they demolished the Philadelphia Union 4-1. LA will not travel out east again until August when they visit Miami, Florida for the Guinness International Champions Cup and then again in September for a league match against D.C. United on Sept. 15.
"It's tough. Going to the west and playing a game then coming to the east and playing a game," DeLaGarza told LA Galaxy Insider. I put money on it that the one that does the travel probably loses the games. It is part of playing in the U.S. it's a big ass country and travel is part of it."
The eastern travel over for the moment, LA forward Landon Donovan is eager to turn the page.
"This was a tough week for our team," said Donovan. "We didn't have the easiest time getting to the stadium [on Sunday] so it was a little bit of a rough trip. It's nice that we're past it and we'll have some west coast games coming up that are going to mean a lot to us."
LA Galaxy to face El Salvador's Isidro Metapan and Costa Rica's Cartaginés in CONCACAF Champions League
The LA Galaxy learned their opponents for the CONCACAF Champions League on Monday after a wild process in CONCACAF that included a re-draw,
LA were inititally placed in Group 8 alongside Mexican giants Cruz Azul and Cartaginés, but due to CONCACAF's rule stating that Mexican and U.S. teams could not meet in the group stage, a re-draw of three groups took place. The Galaxy were ultimately placed in Group 8 with Salvadoran side Isidro Metapan and Costa Rican club .
The 2012 Apertura Champion Isidro Metapan faced the Galaxy in last year's edition of the tournament with LA defeating the Salavadoran side in both matches. Boasting El Salvador internationals Andres Flores, Milton Molina, Eliseo Quintanilla and Alfredo Pacheco, as well as Panamanian forward Nicolas Munoz, Metapan have become one of the most successful clubs in El Salvador as of late with seven titles in the last five years. Metapan play at the Estadio Jorge Calero Suárez, which is two hours outside of San Salvador. Last year, the Galaxy traveled for two hours by bus from the team's hotel in San Salvador to the match.
Cartaginés are making their first ever appearance in the CCL and fell in penalties in the Final of the Costa Rican 2013 Verano championship. But the Costa Ricans earned a ticket into the tournament after CONCACAF allocated a spot to Costa Rica after stripping Belize of their position in the tournament after the federation deemed that the nation did not have a stadium suitable to host a Champions League match. Cartaginés boast a trio of Costa Rican interntionals including forward Randall Brenes, midfielder Mauricio Castillo, and former New York Red Bulls defender Carlos Johnson. The Costa Ricans play at Estadio José Rafael Fello Meza Ivankovich, which is a 13,500 seat stadium with a grass field about 15 minutes outside of San Jose.
The LA Galaxy will learn their two opponents for the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League group stage on Monday evening.
The draw will take place in Miami at 5 p.m. PT and will air live on ESPN Deportes. Due to their status as MLS Cup champions, the Galaxy have been placed in Pot A alongside Mexican league champions Club America and Club Tijuana, Costa Rican champions C.S. Herediano, Guatemalan champion Comunicaciones, Honduran side C.D. Olimpia, Arabe Unido of Panama as well as the Supporters' Shield winning San Jose Earthquakes.
LA could be partnered alongside any of the following teams:
Pot B: Cruz Azul (Mexico) Montreal Impact (Canada), Alajuelense (Costa Rica), Victoria (Nicaragua) and Isidro Metapán (El Salvador).
Pot C: Luis Ángel Firpo (El Salvador), Cartaginés (Costa Rica), Guatemala 2, (pending tournament), San Miguelito (Panamá), Real Estelí (Nicaragua), W Connection (Trinidad and Tobago), Valencia FC (Haiti), Caledonia AIA (Trinidad and Tobago).
Above is a photo snapped just after the Galaxy's flight this morning of Boston Harbor and it's final approach to Los Angeles.
The arrival ends an eight-day trip for most of the contigent, who participated in both the club's 2-0 U.S. Open Cup defeat to the Carolina RailHawks as well as the 5-0 loss to the New England Revolution.
Over that period, the Galaxy flew 5,442 miles. LA will return to the road later this week when they take on Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday.
International Update: Robbie Keane scores two and is poised to become Ireland's all-time caps leader
Both Robbie Keane and Omar Gonzalez made significant contributions for their national teams over the weekend.
Keane notched a brace as Ireland demolished Georgia 4-0 in Dublin on Sunday as he tied former teammate Shay Given for Ireland's all-time appearance record with 125. In fact, Ireland manager Giovanni Trappatoni was incredibly complimentary of Keane's move to MLS and said that it has revitalized the Ireland captain.
Meanwhile, Gonzalez went the distance in the U.S. National Team's 4-3 win over Germany at Washington D.C.'s RFK Stadium. The start was Gonzalez's fifth straight with the U.S.
Both Keane and Gonzalez will be back in action on Friday. Ireland takes on the Faroe Islands in a pivotal World Cup Qualifier while the U.S. take on Jamaica. The two LA stars aren't the only Galaxy players who may suit up for their country this week as Homegrown right back Oscar Sorto will look to make his Toulon Tournament debut when the U.S. Under-20's take on Korea Republic on Wednesday.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Sunday's match was a brutal one for the LA Galaxy, who fell 5-0 to the New England Revolution.
My sidebar on the LA Galaxy's defeat can be found here while my Three Points to the match can be read here.
A few notes on the match including some provided by the Galaxy Communications staff below:
*The Galaxy arrived at Gillette Stadium 55 minutes prior to kick off on Sunday after traffic en route.
*The 5-0 defeat ties the club record for the biggest margin of defeat in an MLS regular season game, equaling a 5-0 loss to the MetroStars on June 15, 2002.
*This was also just the second time that the Galaxy have conceded five or more goals in a game under Bruce Arena. LA lost 6-3 to FC Dallas on September 12, 2009 at The Home Depot Center.
*The Galaxy are 0-5-0 in MLS this year when conceding the first goal and 0-7-0 when doing so in all competitions.
*This was the 17th straight game in all competitions this season that the Galaxy have made at least one lineup change.
*According to the team issued game notes: Todd Dunivant (left quad strain), Leonardo (left ankle) and Jack McBean (fractured left clavicle) all missed the game because of injuries.
*Bryan Gaul and Kofi Opare were in the 18-man squad for a regular season for the first time in 2013. Each of LA's 29 rostered players have been on the gameday squad at least once.

Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, October 10, 2013
OWEN WILSON is reportedly expecting a child in January with his personal trainer. She's married, but has been separated since before she and Owen started fooling around. Owen also has a son who was born in January of 2011. He and the mother broke up a few months after the birth.
After several years together and two kids, JESSICA SIMPSON still doesn't trust fiancé ERIC JOHNSON. At least that's what the "Star" tabloid claims. Sources tell the magazine that Jessica is so worried about Eric cheating that she's been firing female staff members so he won't be tempted. One source says, quote, "Jessica is away a lot for work, so that leaves Eric at home with the kids and staff. She doesn't want him to have any pretty girls around. She even let go of a longtime employee and family friend because she feared Eric was flirting too much."
Sources say KRIS JENNER left BRUCE so she could start COUGARING. One source says, quote, "The separation was Kris' idea. She's tired of being held down. She wants to date, and she wants to date younger men." She's already been linked to "Bachelor" BEN FLAJNIK and BRITNEY SPEARS' ex, JASON TRAWICK.
KHLOE KARDASHIAN and LAMAR ODOM were spotted together Tuesday, in an SUV headed for KRIS JENNER'S house. This was after Kris and her husband BRUCE announced their separation. Meanwhile . . . TMZ says Lamar is flying to New York for meetings with several NBA teams. And he's bringing proof that he's CLEAN.

Pearl Arredondo:
My story, from gangland daughter to star teacher
Pearl Arredondo grew up in East Los Angeles, the daughter of a high-ranking gang member who was in and out of jail. Many teachers wrote her off as having a problem with authority. Now a teacher herself, she's creating a different kind of school and telling students her story so that they know it's okay if sometimes homework isn't the first thing on their minds.

As of now, the Brohan Museum in a changing exhibition architecture, a new presentation of the rich holdings of the Art Nouveau period to see. Be shown, for example, works of the Paris World Fair in 1900, the Arts and Crafts movement, the Wiener Werkstätte, artists and companies such as Alfons Mucha, Alfred Grenander, Henry van de Velde, Johann Loetz., Peter Behrens and Bruno Paul. The exhibition features furniture, artwork, porcelain, glass, textiles and metal.
The Art Nouveau is represented in the new presentation as a social phenomenon. Whatever one may call the movement - whether Jugendstil, Art Nouveau, Secession style or Stile Liberty - it was more than just a style. Behind this was rather an attempt to develop a new, comprehensive all areas of life aesthetics. There creative answers were sought on contradictions, which were connected directly or indirectly with industrialization. Nature was not only a source of inspiration for a new ornamentation, but also a model for a better life model. Symbolism, dreamy and fairytale worlds shaped the motives and were often rather unpleasant reality of everyday life.

The Arts window by J. & R. Lamb Studios is the centerpiece of this major new exhibition that illustrates the rich diversity of styles that made up the aesthetic environment of the late 19th century in both Europe and America. Lamb Studios, a prominent American glasshouse of the era, exhibited the 1894 neoclassical window widely. In preparation for its debut at the Morse, the window, more than eight feet in diameter, underwent extensive conservation. The installation features 20 additional leaded-glass windows and selections of art glass, pottery, and furniture, a number of which also have never been exhibited. Other windows on view—some avant-garde, others reviving the past—include examples by Tiffany Studios, John LaFarge, Frank Lloyd Wright, Edward Burne-Jones, Donald MacDonald, and Heaton, Butler & Bayne.

Men's Basketball Inks Local Standout to National Letter of Intent
November 21, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University fourth-year men's basketball coach, Jeremy Currier, has announced the signing of Charlotte prep standout guard, Stefan Kostic, for the Falcons 2014-15 recruiting class.
We are extremely excited to have Stefan join the Falcons basketball program, Currier said. Stefan is an outstanding young man that is driven and disciplined both on and off the court. He is a fundamentally sound player that is incredibly efficient on the court.
Last season, the Serbian native led the Charlotte United Christian Academy to a successful season while earning All-Region and All-Conference honors, as well as being named the Charlotte Area Christian Athletic Association Player of the Year. Kostic averaged 18.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game as a junior. He was identified by the Charlotte Observer as the Regional Player of the Week on January 15, 2013.
Last summer, Kostic helped PSB Select AAU earn the 17U Big Shots Championship at Clemson University, AAU Super Regionals Championships, and the Gold Summer Championship.
Rick Lewis, Recruiting Director for the Phenom Hoop Report and Director of the Phenom 150 Camp stated, Stefan is a smart, heady and cagey point guard that plays with poise and confidence. He has an excellent understanding of the game and can make shots, but also can use his size and strength to get into the lane and create opportunities for himself and his teammates.
Kostic joins a Pfeiffer basketball program that is the youngest in the Conference Carolinas and currently 2-2 for the season. The Falcons currently have the highest scoring backcourt tandem in the league in freshmen Mike Smith (Lexington, KY) and sophomore AJ Clark (Burlington, NC) as they combine to average a staggering 44 points per game. 611 sophomore center Silvere Aluko (Manchester, NH) is currently leading the league in block shots per game at 3.75 per contest.
Stefan fits in great with our guys, and will be a key contributor for our basketball team said Currier. His ability to pass and make shots is complimented by his defensive intensity. Like many of our current players, Stefan loves getting in the gym and working to improve his game every day.

Panetta orders ethics training review for officers
Thursday - 11/15/2012, 2:35pm EST
By ROBERT BURNS
AP National Security Writer
BANGKOK (AP) - Citing a string of ethical lapses by senior military officers, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has asked the Joint Chiefs of Staff to review ethics training and to brainstorm on ways to steer officers away from trouble.
The move is a reflection of the depth of concern triggered by a series of misconduct cases in a military that prides itself on integrity and honor but has suffered an unusual number of stumbles after a decade of war.
In a memo to Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Panetta made no explicit reference to the David Petraeus sex scandal, which also has ensnared the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen. Panetta's press secretary, George Little, said the memo was the product of internal Pentagon discussions that began before Petraeus announced he was resigning as CIA director because of an extramarital affair.
"I will emphasize very strongly that the secretary was going to embark on this course long before the matters that have come to light over the past week," Little said. He added that Panetta believes the vast majority of senior military officers serve with distinction and in accordance with ethical standards.
Panetta mentioned no specific cases of officer misconduct but noted in his memo to Dempsey that, "as has happened recently, when lapses occur, they have the potential to erode public confidence in our leadership and in our system for the enforcement of our high ethical standards. Worse, they can be detrimental to the execution of our mission to defend the American people."
A number of senior officers have faced disciplinary action this year for misconduct, including Gen. William "Kip" Ward, who was reduced in rank from four stars to three this week after investigators determined that he had misused government funds for lavish spending while commanding U.S. Africa Command.
Panetta told Dempsey to work with the chiefs of the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps to review ethics training for officers to determine whether they are adequate, and to provide views on "how to better foster a culture of value-based decision-making and stewardship" among senior officers and their staffs. That is another way of saying Panetta wants a game plan for ending the string of bad behavior.
He said the initial results of the chiefs' review, along with their recommendations, should be ready in time for Panetta to report to President Barack Obama by Dec. 1. The text of the Panetta memo, which he signed on Wednesday, was provided Thursday to reporters traveling with the Pentagon chief, who was in Bangkok for talks with senior Thai government officials in advance of Obama's visit here this weekend.
"Beyond mere compliance with the rules, I also expect senior officers and civilian executives to exercise sound judgment in their stewardship of government resources and in their personal conduct," Panetta said. "An action may be legally permissible but neither advisable nor wise."
Panetta said he intends to raise these issues in a meeting next month with all of the military service chiefs, the services' civilian leaders and the generals and admirals who lead major commands like U.S. Central Command.
Ethics issues associated with the Petraeus and Allen matters were raised during Panetta's joint news conference Thursday with his Thai counterpart, Sukampol Suwannathat. The two spoke to reporters after signing an update to a 1962 U.S.-Thai statement framing the security relationship. The United States and Thailand are treaty allies - a relationship that Washington sees as a cornerstone of its security interests in Asia.
Panetta said he knows of no other senior U.S. military officers being linked to the Petraeus investigation, and he said he retains "tremendous confidence" in Allen.
"I am not aware of any others that could be involved in this issue at the present time," he said, adding that he wanted the American public to understand that the vast majority of military officers serve ethically.
"One thing I do demand," he said, "is that those who seek to protect this country operate by the highest ethical standards."
Panetta declined to describe the nature of the emails and other correspondence between Allen and Florida socialite Jill Kelley, which others have called flirtatious and potentially problematic for the Marine four-star general.
Asked whether any of those emails are sexually explicit, Panetta said, "What I don't want to do is to try to characterize those communications because I don't want to do anything" to limit the ability of the Pentagon inspector general to conduct an objective review of the Allen matter.

LUMBERTON — The teen pregnancy rate in Robeson County fell in 2012, but Robeson still ranks sixth in the state when it comes to teenagers who get pregnant.
"This is a good sign," Bill Smith, the county's Health director, said. "Although the rate has improved, and we are still sixth in the state, it certainly indicates that the sex education in our schools teaching consequences is bearing benefits."
According to statistics compiled by the North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics and released by the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of North Carolina, the pregnancy rate for ages 15 to 19 in Robeson County in 2012 was 61.8 for every 1,000 girls, an overall decrease of 10.6 percent from the 2011 rate. The rate was 31.5 for ages 15 to 17 and 100.4 for ages 18 and 19.
There were 308 teenagers in Robeson County who got pregnant during 2012 — 88 ages 15 to 17 and 220 ages 18 and 19.
Robeson County's teen pregnancy rate decrease mirrored that of the state. Teen pregnancy rates decreased in 74 of the state's 100 counties in 2012.
The statewide 2012 rate of 39.6 per 1,000 — a historic low — means that fewer than 4 percent of teenage girls in North Carolina experienced a pregnancy in 2012.
"Most counties have nearly eliminated pregnancies to minors, which is a tremendous victory," Kay Phillips, chief executive officer of the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Campaign of North Carolina, said in a statement. "The best way for us to make additional progress overall is by helping our state's medical providers connect young adults with the most effective forms of birth control and by helping our young adults know how, and where, to access the health care they need."
Other highlights from the report include:
— In Robeson County, the pregnancy rate of blacks was 45.3 per 1,000, and it was also 45.3 for whites.The pregnancy rate for Hispanics was 82.9 per 1,000. The report did not include a pregnancy rate for American Indians.
— The rates in counties that touch Robeson for teens ages 15 to 19 were: Columbus, 50.5 for every 1,000 teens; Scotland, 73.9, which was second highest in the state; Hoke, 47.4 percent; Cumberland, 56.8; and Bladen, 47.3.
— The teen abortion rate dropped by 13 percent across the state.
— Pregnancies to white, black, and Hispanic teens dropped 8 percent, 11 percent and 13 percent respectively.
— Statewide, 24.5 percent of pregnancies occurred to a girl who had been pregnant before. This was the lowest proportion of repeat pregnancies in state history. The percentage of repeat pregnancies in Robeson County was 26.3.
— North Carolina's teen pregnancy rate is now 62 percent lower than when it peaked in 1990.
Smith said that the report is a little deceptive because it includes 18- and 19-year-olds, who accounted for 71 percent of the teenage pregnancies in the state during 2012 and 71.4 percent of all teenage pregnancies in Robeson County.
"These are not really individuals that are part of the teen (pregnancy) problem," he said. "These are adults."

Everett police break up tire theft ring
Snohomish County Sheriff's Office
Everett police and the Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force on Thursday recovered more than $10,000 in stolen tires, including these.
Snohomish County Sheriff's Office
Everett police and the Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force on Thursday recovered more than $10,000 in stolen tires, including these.
Everett police and the Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force deflated a criminal ring that allegedly was selling stolen tires Wednesday evening.
Detectives turned to Craigslist for potential suspects after an Everett commercial tire company was hit on three different occasions.
On the free classified ad site, they found a sales pitch for tires that matched those stolen from the Everett business.
During the burglaries, dozens of tires were stolen. Their value ranged from $445 to $725 each. Their total value exceeded $11,000.
Detectives posing as buyers answered the ad.
A deal was struck to purchase 10 tires.
The parties agreed to meet in a parking lot in the 1000 block of Broadway in Everett.
Two men suspected of hawking the hot wheels pulled up in a silver Volkswagen. They were wary, making a "heat" check by circling the parking lot twice and looking for police cars and officers.
Seeing none, they called their prospective buyer.
The undercover detectives and tire thieves made small talk. The independent businessmen explained that the tires were en route.
A few minutes later, a red pickup with its bed full of commercial truck tires pulled into the lot.
The detectives examined the tires. Some had the word "Everett" written in chalk on them. It also appeared that factory stickers had been removed.
That's when the detectives signaled for their backup officers to move in.
Three men were taken into custody for interviews. They helped police recover other missing tires.
The case remains under investigation.

One of the first questions I face when I start playing with a new language, is about how to set a project using this language so that I can build and package my code. While learning how to do this with Groovy I ended up putting together a starter project that has a reusable build script and runner class that allows me to quickly get a new Groovy project up and running.
Groovy Quick Start is meant to help developers new to groovy to get started by providing a way to have a groovy project up and running with a minimum effort. It provides a default layout and a reusable gant script that knows how to compile, test and package your project out of the box.
Compiling your project
prompt> gant compile
This target knows how to compile any source files that are available in the default source location. If you execute this target out of the box should report the succesful creation of the required build output folders and the compilation of one sample java class and two sample groovy classes
Testing your project
prompt> gant test
The test target will compile the source code in the src and test_src folders, and then it will execute the unit tests located in the tests_src folder. When you run this target out of the box it will succesfully report the execution of two sample test classes
Preparing to distribute your project
prompt> gant distro
the distro target will create a distribution folder in your build_output folder. This dist folder will contain a lib folder with all the jars from the project lib folder, as well as the contents of the src folder packaged as a jar. Also in the dist folder is your README.txt file and a bin folder that contains the sample batch file provided with the project. To test the distribution you can cd into your
%path%\groovyquickstart\build_output\dist\bin and run the file "run.bat". This launch script will print the help message:
usage: runner [option]
"-h" help Print out this message containing help.
"-n" name <name to greet> The name of the user to be greeted.
"-r" run Runs some target.
"-v" version Print version information.
To test the sample commands in the Runner class, enter the command "run -n "foo" -r" This will return the output:
prompt> Hello from the starter class foo
This sample Runner class demonstrates how to use the CLI builder to read parameters from the command line and to execute a class in the project, based on those parameters.
Packaging your project
prompt> gant package
This target will create a zip file with the content of your dist folder in the
"\build_output\dist" folder
Customizing GroovyQuickStart
When you use the default folders for your project artifacts the gant script should work without modifications, If you feel that you need to add or improve your build steps just modify the gant build script to suit your needs.
Eclipse Support
The GroovyQuickStart can be imported into Eclipse, once you use the Eclipse import facilities you will need to update the project build dependencies to point to the correct location of the Groovy libraries.
For more information review the readme file located in the "groovyquickstart\docs" folder
I hope you can take advantage of Groovy Quick Start Project to get started on your groovy project and please feel free to contact me with any questions at firstname.lastname@example.com
Additional info for unix/linux users
An example 'run' script to test the distribution: run
Use that instead of the 'run.bat' that comes packaged in the groovyquickstart.zip .
It appears the original blog/site went down, the zip file is now attached: groovyquickstart.zip
Update (08/2008)
My blog was out of comission for a while , but I am working on updating this project to use the new joint compiler, in the meantime here is a new zip file containing the run file for linux groovyquickstart1.zip
2 Comments
The softwarecraft link is dead (goes to keyword server). Are there alternative locations for the project?
All the information is on the readme file and the zip file contains the source code. I will be setting up a svn repository for it this week, but I do not believe that is required in the short term
