BP temporarily suspended from new federal contracts
Wednesday - 11/28/2012, 11:08am EST
The Environmental Protection Agency temporarily suspended the BP oil company from new federal contracts, grants and other covered transactions, citing the company's "lack of business integrity" and criminal proceedings stemming from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster.
The action by the Environmental Protection Administration won't affect current contracts, but prevents BP and its affiliates from new government contracts "until the company can provide sufficient evidence to EPA demonstrating that it meets federal business standards," the agency said.
In London, BP said it had no immediate comment but expected to make a statement later Wednesday.
BP pleaded guilty on Nov. 15 to 11 counts of misconduct or neglect of ship officers. In addition, the company pleaded guilty to one count of Obstruction of Congress and one misdemeanor count each for violating the Clean Water Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. All of these charges stemmed from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion. Eleven people were killed in the incident, which led to the greatest environmental disaster in U.S. history.
The EPA suspensions were standard practice when a criminal case raises responsibility questions about a company. The suspension came the same day two BP rig supervisors and a former executive were scheduled to be arraigned on criminal charges stemming from the deadly explosion and the company's response to the resulting oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The suspension will remain in effect until BP can show the EPA it is meeting federal business standards.
It was not immediately clear what new or pending contracts the suspension might affect. In the past, BP has been a major supplier of energy to the U.S. military, and has also provided fuel products and drilling services for other U.S. agencies such as the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.

CIT offers a dedicated virtual server in the Unix environment running the Solaris operating system on the DCSS VMWare cluster environment.
With virtual servers, the customer receives an economical service similar to having a dedicated physical server, even though multiple "virtual systems" are running on the same server. Virtualization offers faster and more flexible provisioning with decreased downtime, at a lower cost.
The Solaris Virtual Server or VM is similar to the Windows Virtual Server and runs on the same type of hardware. It provides a VMware environment for applications that require the Solaris operating system but have low memory and CPU requirements. The standard Solaris VM comes with a minimum of one virtual CPU and two GBs of memory that can be expanded.
Virtualization results in a lower cost solution over standard dedicated physical servers. Along with the cost savings, opting for virtualization brings you additional operational benefits, such as:
Just as we do for your physical servers, we provide a high quality production environment for you under our Virtual Server service:
The CIT hosting staff provides the same operating system support, patching, security, backup and monitoring as it does for the dedicated hardware solution. CIT provides support for virtual servers that must reside behind application firewalls or load balancers as a separate offering.
If you are interested in the Virtual Server service, please contact the NIH IT Service Desk by phone at 301-496-HELP (301-496-4357), 866-319-4357 (toll free), or 301-496-8294 (TTY).

I was wondering if this would be better served as a few pages, rather than one "index" of pages. If it were broken up into logical pieces, it'd be alot easier to search or browse through. It might require not using the 'children' macro in the wiki pages, unless each logical section becomes its own page, then you could use it again.
I'd be willing to work on reorganizing this if you guys think it'd be a good idea.
I guess reorganisation would be an option. I believe Confluence now honours ordering of pages, so there are probably a lot of places we could start using that capability.
A couple of things to realise though is that other places within the wiki might be relying on a particular pages structure, e.g. things like the children macros might be used in higher up pages with different depth settings. Also, we need to make sure that whatever we do still turns out ok when you do the PDF generation. Sometimes the structure is a compromise between what works well on the web site and what works well for the PDF. But don't let those things hold you back - it might just involve some extra testing initially.
Well, I probably wouldn't want to tear up this page, in light of what you said. This page serves as a good "table of contents" to the site, and if you're looking for something specific, it serves that purpose very well. My main "concern" is that it's somewhat intimidating since there's so much information presented.
Just as some examples, see:
http://www.python.org/doc/ http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/ http://java.sun.com/javase/reference/index.jsp
Java's documentation page is the most cluttered, but it does break its doc's down into use-cases, rather than simply categorizing the content. Groovy's doc's do have separate sections for different kinds of users (the new user, the "I'm looking for more info on X" user, the advanced user, etc.), but I think the page could do a better job of stating the intent of these sections, like Java's doc page does.
Ruby's page is the most user-friendly, in that it's easily approachable and well-formatted. It doesn't really offer too much as an example beyond that, though. (Plus, it's not really clear why there's four different manuals, 8 different getting started guides, etc.)
Python's doc is the most like Groovy's, but it doesn't separate content by its various uses: the Tutorial, Reference, and Python/C API all seem equally relevant, even though they would vary dramatically based on what kind of Python developer you are.
It seems to me that the site should aid you in figuring out what to look at, where to browse. I mean, it's a wiki, but it's also the first-stop for any Groovy developer, so its unbiased display of information might not be the best route.
Just my two cents: I kind of feel like I've gotten ahead of myself.
I don't know if it matters anymore, but the "Groovy JDK" link in the "Reference" section goes to an "Oops!" page.

I had been wearing Bulgari Blu, and then I discovered Noir . I love it, people ask me what I'm wearing, my boyfriend loves the scent and comments on the scent, and my 20+ yr old daughter is determined to buy and use it (but not when we're together). Wish it lasted longer on the skin, but that will not deter me! Bulgari knows and loves women!

Despite Four from Hebberd, Women's Lacrosse Falls 20-12 to #4 Limestone
April 5, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Despite a team-high four goals from Rachel Hebberd (Golden, CO), Pfeiffer University fell 20-12 to #4 Limestone College in Conference Carolinas women's lacrosse action on Thursday afternoon. The victory pushes the Saints to 12-1 overall, 4-0 in league play while the Lady Falcons fall to 7-6, 3-1.
Limestone quickly jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first nine minutes of play before Shannon Bonnel (Mechanicsville, MD) and Liz Melesh (Annapolis, MD) scored back-to-back slicing the lead to one. The Saints would tally six of the next seven as Kristi Korn (Rochester, NY) snuck one of her three on the day in before she scored the second and third of three-straight at the end of the half with Bonnel as Pfeiffer trailed 9-6 at the break.
Limestone again bolted out of the gates in the second half grabbing a 17-8 lead with a pair of Hebberd goals stopping stretches of what could have been 10-0 Saints run. Katherine Athens (Huntingtown, MD) and Hebberd would round out Lady Falcon scoring on the day with two-straight goals apiece over the final 12:25.
Sarah Oor (Uxbridge, CANADA) led all scorers with a half-dozen goals while Racquel Prager (Seaford, NY) followed with five. Brigid Milchling (Cockysville, MD) made 12 saves in net stopping six in each half.
Pfeiffer will now look towards its final home game of the 2012 regular season facing Erskine in a league matchup at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Live stats will be available at http://www.gofalconsports.com.

A friend and I were heading up Warner Avenue the other day, and neither of us had eaten anything. I remembered the little Angel Food Donut Shop with a drive-through window. How cool is that? Sure, there are plenty of drive-through places, but it's rare to find one with donuts, apple fritters and other delicious breakfast treats.
The store has been here for years. Lots of regulars gather inside to talk about what's going on, read the newspaper, or chat with the owners.
Service was extra fast the morning we visited, and though there were several people ahead of us, we got our donuts and coffee in less than three minutes.
Eat in, outside, and, of course, drive through. Angel Food Donut Shop is in Fountain Valley at 16953 Bushard St., near Warner Avenue. Hours: 6 a.m. to noon, Monday through Saturday; 7 a.m. to noon, Sunday. Info: 714-962-5455.
Speaking of drive-through windows, did you know that Los Primos Mexican Food has a drive-through? The restaurant is under new management.
This is the home of the Monster Burrito – potatoes, onions, cheese, bacon are just some of the goodies in this close-to-a-pound dish. Yes, it's definitely suitable for sharing. Tacos, taquitos, enchiladas, they're all good here.
Los Primos Mexican Food is in Fountain Valley at 9475 Warner Ave., near Bushard Street. Hours: 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., 7 days a week.
Info: primosmex.com or 714-963-8226.
The Fountain Valley Chamber of Commerce 2012 Business Awards luncheon is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 26 at Los Caballeros Racquet and Sports Club. The ceremony will honor one business in each of three categories: Entrepreneurship, Environmentally Conscious and Community Spirit.
Sponsorship opportunities and program ads will be accepted until Feb. 8. Nominees for the Entrepreneurship award:

I go to Sears and try to do the return but they will not give me a full refund, SYW side is saying since I owe points and will hang on to ~$200. Spent over an hour at Sears while the store manager talked to the SYW folks without luck. You would think if I tried to return both it would even out, guess not. I need to call SYW and see if I can try to sort this out.
If not I might just keep it. Or if anyone wants this TV in the Los Angeles area PM me. I bought it for $560 and would be willing to sell it for that much. TV is still in the unopened box.
Sunday 1/20 Ordered the tv from sears.com and picked it up later that day. 258,500 sywr points posted to my account.
Thursday 1/24 Ordered a 2nd tv from sears.com, used the 258,500 from the prior order, got $275 in lands end gift cards from shop discover (cost $220 discover cash back bonus money), and put the remainder on my discover card.
Friday 1/25 Received e-mail from sears.com that there was a problem with the order. Called to find out and they said discover declined the charge.
Called Discover and they said they did not decline it, it appeared on my account, and that sears messed up. Also got the approval code from Discover that they had sent through to sears.com
Called sears back and they changed their story. Now it was a computer glitch on their end. So I was told my shopping cart was saved and all they needed was an updated form of payment. I explained all my forms of payment were valid and that they had messed up the order. Then they said I could not use the 258,000 sywr points since they were being credited back to my account in 7-10 business days. Yes, my sywr points are being held hostage by sears and their complete ineptness, stupidity, etc.
I went round and round and round with Sears.com that day and no one could do anything. I even stopped into a sears store, had the manager call about it and we were told the same lie as the first one that Discover had declined the charge. When I told them that was wrong, they were pissy and sarcastic in their response of, "No we didn't, it was Discover declining the charge," and they proceeded to hang up on us.
So I placed another order and this time they did not give me the 250,000 sywr points. Waiting to hear what their excuse is this time.
WARNING: sears doesn't know their @$$ from a hole in the ground when it comes to the sywr points and also their ordering system is a complete disaster many times. Look at how many different people got different amounts of points (or no points) when ordering the exact same item. A friend of mine is a lawyer and will draft them a letter, just to let them know we are thinking of them.
sears =
My TV issue STILL isn't resolved but I'm supposed to hear back this Saturday. I have a higher up's direct number now and she claims she has my call back scheduled on her calendar. If I don't get a call from her on Saturday I'll start spamming her line with calls. The TV went out of stock/removed from site while they changed the price up to 899.99 and dropped the points down to 100,000, but now that its back in stock they better give me my damn TV and fulfill the original deal at the least. She claimed she was even willing to give me a comparable 3D TV, without up-charge, if that one didn't come back into stock but I'm 100% fine if they just fulfill the originally placed order.
We'll see how it goes. NewDoc did you get your issues resolved yet?
Thank you for sharing. I had the exact same story while ordering a second TV on Thursday, Whatever cancelled order without canceling email or confirmation number. Lots of calls but can't find any answer, lots of email but never got an answer.
It is obvious sears intentionally didn't let us use the rewards point.
"Thank you for contacting Shop Your Way Rewards regarding your recent TV purchase.
This bonus offer was intended to only award once per customer. It was misfiring and you did receive it multiple times. A bonus fix was put into place, which is why it did not award points on your final purchase. Unfortunately, I cannot add the points for your last TV purchase.
Once again, thank you for contacting us and being a Shop Your Way Rewards member. We value your business and look forward to serving you in the future."

Man, you guys need lots of lesson in how to play Sears and its reward program. I've been winning their game for about 2 years and owning their stupidity to my advantage. I got on this deal and I completely pwned them. I have to admit though the dumb morons working at the B&M made it so easy. So it is somewhat YMMV.
Here is one lesson. You used the points from this deal. Good luck getting a refund. You will be in for a monster fxxk session lasting at least 2 weeks even if you return the TV and everything you got using the points. Better off contacting your CC. Sears' system is so fxxked up that they just don't know what to do.
So, I ordered 3 TV's in rapid succession, as soon as the bonus points posted to my account. Picked up 2 of the last ones, and left the first one at the store, withough picking it up. I was hoping it would self cancel, but it didn't.
I called the store last week to cancel it, but it was still in the system on Saturday.
Saturday, I chatted with Sears rep to cancel, and he did over the chat. However, my points have not been taken back. How long does it take for the points to be taken back? Or will I get to keep them? Anyone know?
6 TV's in the house with Verizon FiOS and we only pay $4.99/month to connect all 6 of them. Thanks to Ceton InfiniTV and Windows Media Center.

The TWO ONE
Have I mentioned how excited I am to watch the 'Caps this season?
Well I have, but hey, now is the time for excitement, and this certainly looks to be a very entertaining team!
What continues to intrigue me the most about this side is our rookie wingers.
This was a position that I played for the 'Caps many years ago, so I'm very interested to track the progress of Kekuta Manneh and Erik Hurtado.
WATCH: Manneh shows what he's got
I grew up watching my home team Manchester United, who for the most part have always used two wingers. When they were in full flow there was no better sight. They went right at the opponent's fullbacks and looked to get dangerous crosses into the box for their strikers to finish.
So what does make a great winger?
Stick to the plan
First of all you, have to be patient. You spend a great deal of time holding your position out wide and relying on your teammates to get you the ball. This can be frustrating at times if you're not getting involved in the match, and naturally you will want to start wandering inside to go look for the ball and try to get more involved.
Sticking to the plan, that is how I got my nickname Chalkie.
Back in the day I was playing in a game for Oldham Athletic. I hadn't seen the ball for ages, so I decided to leave my position on the wing and go hunt for the ball. It was not long before our manager Jimmy Frizzel screamed at me to get back out wide and put some chalk on my boots (the touch lines were marked with white chalk), which I promptly did. Hence my new nickname, which has stuck with me even until today.
WATCH: Dane Richards gets compared to the Legend
It's not always about taking on defenders …
Having dribbling skills certainly is a plus for a winger, but it is not necessary (I was told by one fan I only had two moves).
A certain fellow named David Beckham was not known for his moves with the ball, but you would find it very hard to find a better crosser of the ball than Mr. Beckham. He would only need a yard of space to cross the ball or bend it around the defender.
Another similar player that had the same type of game was someone some of you longtime 'Caps fans will remember as "the Silver Fox" Alan Hinton. He was not very tricky or fast, but he too would find that yard of space to whip in a dangerous cross for his strikers to attack.
… But speed and dribbling certainly help
Of course, if you do have dribbling skills that makes things very frightening for defenders. Cristiano Ronaldo was the king of the step-overs when he first came to play for Manchester United. There have been other wingers like Ryan Giggs (sorry another United player) who could do amazing things with the ball while running at full speed. These types of wing men would beat you inside or outside, or just twist you into the ground then run away from you.
WATCH: Giggs in his prime
If you have speed, then you can knock the ball past a defender and find a cross or make the runs into space and look for balls over the top of defenders to create breakaways. With or without the ball, these players with speed stretch defences and excite the crowd with their play.
No fear
There are different types of wingers, but one thing they have to have is courage. As a winger, you will be kicked because you have too much skill for the defender – sometimes by accident, but many times just to slow you down.
You also have to have a certain fearlessnesses. You can't be afraid to take on one, two, maybe even three defenders at a time. Of course you may not get through, but if you do you've opened up the play and set your team up with a good chance to create a goal.
I am probably biased when I say that there's no better sight than seeing teams that play with two wingers to open up the game and play attacking soccer.
And that's why I am excited to see this year's 'Caps – and in particular Manneh and Hurtado. All the weapons we have will make this MLS season a very entertaining one.
Bring it on.
When it comes to finding players, there is one thing that you can never coach or develop. That my friends, would be speed. You either have it or you don't.
So with the fourth and fifth picks in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft, Martin Rennie and his staff went with Kekuta Manneh and Erik Hurtado. And what did the 'Caps acquire with these two youngsters? Speed.
And that is exactly what we could use.
So as 'Caps fan Bill Pollard said on our Facebook page, "Show me the Manneh!", or in Erik's case, "Show me the E-Money!"
It's time to make it rain.
Last year when Dane Richards played for us on the wing (especially at home), his speed really helped our possession game. It opened things up for the 'Caps as teams were wary of the threat of balls over the top. That's what speed can do for you and what Manneh and Hurtado can give us if they are used on the wings.
But when Richards was out of the lineup, or when he was shutdown, there were numerous times when our 'Caps simply looked like they had run out of ideas going forward. We did not look like creating any chances on goal and there were few options on the bench to change things.
What these two draft picks give Martin Rennie and his staff are more options, a change of pace. Because of this, the team will ultimately be in a position to be more versatile and less predictable.
Yes, we are talking about two young players who's first priority will simply be to establish themselves in their first MLS season, but they could not be in a better place to fulfill their potential.
I feel that one of Rennie's great strengths as a coach is the way he handles players and how he teaches. Younger players obviously have more to learn, and the most successful ones are more receptive and eager to be taught their trade.
We know that coach Rennie is big on bringing in character players, so you can bet the work has been done on these two young players to make sure they have the desire and work ethic to take their game to the next level. I really feel this is a great fit that is going to provide a lot of excitement and joy for the team and the Vancouver fans.
You need only to look at the job done with Omar Salgado last year by Rennie and his staff. Salgado looked ready to establish himself as a consistent contributor when he started four games in a row before getting injured. Look also at the way they handled Darren Mattocks and Gershon Koffie, who both had stellar seasons.
Now, will Manneh and Hurtado come into the team and do what Mattocks did last year? Well the answer is that they don't have to.
We already have a number of pieces in place, experienced players, so there can be a patient approach to easing these players into the lineup.
But when they do get on the field, they will get the chance to show that one quality that really frightens defences, that speed that each has in abundance.
I can't tell you how excited I am with our new additions. We couldn't ask for more than to bring in young guys with speed that want to make an impression!!!
Remind you of anybody? ;)
After sifting through all of the reports at the MLS Player Combine and reading through the various final Mock Drafts, I'm feeling confident that this will be a strong 2013 SuperDraft for our 'Caps.
In our first ever MLS SuperDraft in 2011 we had control of our own destiny with the number one pick and we chose Omar Salgado, who I feel would have made a big impact last season had he not got injured.
Last year the consensus was that the top two prospects were Andrew Wenger and Darren Mattocks – who both seemed to be worthy of the top selection. In the end we got Mattocks, and I'm sure like me, you'd likely agree that things turned out for the better for the 'Caps.
This year there is much debate about who should be number one, and where all the players will land in the draft. With this uncertainty, that essentially makes our #5 and #10 picks more valuable.
If we hold on to the picks, there could end up being some very talented players left on the table as teams debate their best course of action, rather than having little thought to do with a surefire selection. Meanwhile, Martin Rennie and company are also fielding a number of trade offers as coaches will be urgent to move up to secure the player they fancy.
That leaves the possibility of making a trade for one or both of our picks that could land us a quality MLS player that fills one of our needs.
In the end, it doesn't really matter how we acquire a player – whether through our draft picks or through a trade – as long as we get players that can help our team.
Rennie has gone on record as saying that he would like the team to create more chances next year. Vancouver has a solid foundation at the back and for the most part has established itself as a hard team to beat, which is a good formula for success. But the team would benefit by adding a couple more creative players on the wing or in midfield.
We already have two players from the draft in Omar and Darren who are destined to be important players for this team, and I believe that they will both have even bigger seasons than they had last year.
This year's Superdraft should see the addition of either another exciting prospect or two coming out of college, or a proven player through a trade helping our team make another run at the playoffs and beyond.
It looks like we're set up for a successful SuperDraft, and that's yet another important step towards a successful season.
The 2013 season opener is less than two months away and with the announcement of the schedule today comes a lot of anticipation and excitement as we look forward to a number of marquee matches.
With former players such as Sebastien Le Toux with Philadelphia Union (July 27) returning to BC Place, and with rivalries growing against other clubs, there will be a sense of familiarity throughout the 2013 home schedule.
Our home opener has been public for a while now, and I'm sure like me you are all looking forward to getting off to a fast start against our Canadian rivals Toronto FC, just as we did in 2011 when we were victorious by a 4-2 margin.
Of course it's not going to be an easy game, but BC Place has become a fortress for us and with the added incentive of Eric Hassli and Terry Dunfield coming back to play in front of what should be a sellout crowd, it does not get any better than that.
I'm confident that we can kick some TFC butt.
With the Cascadian rivalry heating up on and on the field it's easy to see why many 'Caps fans will have these matches highlighted on their calendar.
Portland Timbers will visit us twice this year with the first game on May 18. We have some payback to give to the Timbers and these two games could go a long way towards bringing the Cascadia Cup to Vancouver.
As far as our other Pacific Northwest "friends", we will have to wait until July 6 for the only visit of Seattle Sounders FC.
If these games are half as good as last year, it will be well worth waiting for.
Memories of that playoff match against LA Galaxy still linger.
When the two-time defending MLS Cup champions come to town, those will be matches that you will not want to miss.
LA will be making two visits to BC Place this season and we will be looking to get our first win against the Galaxy in MLS, which nearly came in the playoffs last year when we were 1-0 up entering the last third of the game.
As we've seen in the past, battles between these two teams will be open and attack-minded. And while Beckham has moved on, this is certain to be another star-studded Galaxy squad led by world-class striker Robbie Keane.
April 13 and September 28 should be two mouthwatering matches as Real Salt Lake roll into town. Salt Lake are always a team that like to pass the ball and attack teams, home and away, so it should make for some entertaining games.
August 10 we will see the high flying San Jose Earthquakes – who finished as the top team in the 2012 MLS standings – come to BC Place and provide our fans with lots of thrills. The Quakes were last year's top scoring team with an impressive 72 goals scored. The 'Caps will look to remain unbeaten at home against reigning MLS leading scorer Chris Wondoloski and his Earthquakes.
This promises to be another thrilling season, and with four exciting Western Conference clashes (Portland, Seattle, and Colorado twice) at the end, we're sure to see the season end with a bang.
2012 will be remembered as a year of firsts for Vancouver Whitecaps FC in Major League Soccer (MLS): getting our first away victory, winning a game by four goals for the first time, and of course becoming the first Canadian club to make the MLS Cup playoffs.
The 'Caps also set a record for the longest shutout streak to start an MLS season and collected the most regular season points ever by a Canadian MLS team.
So why should we expect 2013 to be even better?
There are plenty of positives to look forward to, but the challenge will be even greater. Having made the playoffs last season, the Blue and White will now be viewed as a more dangerous team, so they certainly won't have the ability to sneak up on anyone this coming season.
With that said, I was really impressed by Martin Rennie's first year in charge. He and his coaching staff did a tremendous job last year improving the team and building a winning mentality.
While his squad will be in tough this year, I can see them building on last season's success and taking another step forward.
And I will give you my reasons why.
1. It starts at the back, Part I
From a goalkeeping standpoint, right now we are stronger than last year. You may be asking how since we have the same guys in net. The difference is that we now have two guys who have both proven themselves more than capable of getting the job done.
Joe Cannon has been a great goalkeeper in this league for some time and was outstanding when called upon last season. Late in the season, Brad Knighton stepped in and showed that he too is a quality starter, consistently coming up with solid performances down the stretch. With two guys that they know they can count on, the 'Caps can't go wrong.
2. It starts at the back, Part II
On defence we saw Jay Demerit and Andy O'Brien establish a rock solid partnership down the middle, which looked great against eventual MLS Cup champions LA Galaxy. With Martin Bonjour also gaining a great deal of experience as a starter last year, and Carlyle Mitchell now with a number of games under his own belt, the centre back position looks quite strong.
It was also great news when Young-Pyo Lee signed on for another year. With more emphasis on keeping him fresh for the whole year, I expect him to be even stronger than last season – when he was named team MVP. Throw in the consistent play of Alain Rochat and the ever-improving performances of Jordan Harvey at left back and the 'Caps are set to have a very reliable backline.
3. Hungry young talent
Our talented younger players are a year older and will be looking to establish themselves as legitimate MLS players, recognizable around the league. Gershon Koffie (21), Darren Mattocks (22), and Omar Salgado (19) will be leading the youth brigade. With the talent they have and their willingness to learn and to be the best, it can only bode well for our 'Caps.
And right behind them we have Russell Teibert (20), Caleb Clarke (19), and Bryce Alderson (18) chomping at the bit to get on the field. These are three very talented homegrown youngsters and with the right mentality, each of the three is capable of making a big step up in 2013.
4. Stability
Unlike last year, Martin Rennie goes into his second season in MLS with less tinkering to do, and a more established squad. There were many players that were playing in MLS for the first time last season, all while making a new home in Vancouver. Making things harder for some of those players was the fact that they didn't join the team until midseason.
Going into preseason this year, there will be much more of a settled squad that knows what MLS is all about and will not be surprised by the travel, time change, and climates that this league will throw at you.
And let's not forget the stability of the coaching staff and technical staff, all of whom will be back again this season with a full year of MLS experience. They now all have a much more comprehensive understanding of the wants and needs of a grueling season.
5. Home Field Advantage
The 'Caps improved greatly on their home record from 2011 to 2012 and will look to continue that trend in 2013. Last year's improvement was partly due to the fact that the team had a full season at BC Place, but the biggest reason was the raucous, intimidating atmosphere created by fans.
As the team continues to improve, so too has the fan support. Ultimately, that will always be one of the biggest keys to success.
With only two months until the season kicks off against Toronto FC at BC Place, there are many genuine reasons to be excited once again. The first two years have been a rollercoaster ride, but I am predicting a Whitecaps FC team that will give us many thrills that will top anything we have done in MLS so far.

If you've read my blog before then you have surely heard me mention the vision that the ownership group of Vancouver Whitecaps FC have for the club and for the game of soccer here in Vancouver, and in fact across the province and country.
They are very passionate about the direction they want the 'Caps to go in, and one of the main goals for the club is to continue to develop the grassroots level of the sport.
These are certainly lofty goals and ones that will take a great deal of collaboration. Yes, Whitecaps FC can take a leadership role in this, but it is impossible for the club do this on our own.
There has always been a belief in the 'Caps organization that in order to be successful we need to be developing our own young players, and that means building partnerships around British Columbia and beyond.
Last week I had the pleasure of going to Nanaimo for the announcement of a new Whitecaps FC Island Academy Centre in partnership with Harbour City FC. There was certainly a buzz surrounding the announcement and a ton of enthusiasm from locals that there was now support and collaboration from the 'Caps.
Creating these academies means the club is building relationships in these communities and hopefully becoming an asset, as well as providing some leadership in player development.
Vancouver Island joins the 'Caps academy centre network that includes Vancouver, the Okanagan, and the Kootenays, with more to be added in the near future. Make no bones about it, Whitecaps FC are intent on branching out near and far to help grow the game to nurture young players who could one day star for the Blue and White.
There are many challenges for those who live outside of the Lower Mainland. It's sometimes hard to get high level coaching or the competition they need week in and week out. These academy centres will not solve every problem, but it will establish a clearer pathway to achieving soccer success.
These communities now have a firm belief that their young players can not only dream about taking their soccer to the next level, but will have an opportunity to do so.
Remember, I too was once a boy who closely followed his favourite team and dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player.
Now there are many more kids in BC who can have good reason to hold that same dream.
The 2012 MLS Cup (Saturday, 1:30 p.m. PT on TSN and TEAM 1410 radio) will be contested by the same teams as 2011, at the same venue. But don't expect the same game.
Yes, once again LA Galaxy will host Houston Dynamo at The Home Depot Center, with the Dynamo hoping to overturn last year's 1-0 defeat to the Galaxy.
There are many storylines coming into this final, but none bigger David Beckham's last game in Major League Soccer. This will be the final chapter of his playing days in MLS – a league which he's done a great deal to help grow.
The ultimate question, however, is not so much about Beckham, but rather if Houston can turn the tables from last year and win this MLS Cup rematch.
A different Dynamo
Houston will go into this MLS Cup a more confident team than the last time they were here. A year ago the Dynamo had to deal with the absence of their most influential playmaker, midfielder Brad Davis. Not only do they have Davis ready to play this time around, but they can go into this game knowing that they can field a more potent offensive lineup.
Last year Houston sat back and allowed the Galaxy to carry the play, hoping they would catch LA on the break. It never really worked and the Dynamo never really looked like scoring, but they did keep the game close, which gave them the best chance to win.
Houston are now a more comfortable team in possession of the ball. Players like midfielder Boniek Garcia offer something different from last year, using his dribbling skills to attack defenders or make quick runs to get in behind the defence.
Another key player will be striker Will Bruin, who has continued where he left off in the regular season by finding his scoring touch with four goals so far in the playoffs.
It's quite clear to me that the Dynamo now have players to compliment the skills of Brad Davis, and this should change their approach from last year to be more of an attacking threat.
Motivation or distraction?
As for LA Galaxy, they will go into the game as clear favourites, however they will have to contend with the distraction of it being David Beckham's last game in MLS. That being said, they've had to deal with intense spotlight ever since Beckham joined the team, so this should be nothing new for them.
The Galaxy have been the best team in MLS during the second half of the season and they are playing like a team that believes they are the best team in the league.
Facing a more attack-minded Houston team could end up playing right into their hands, as they have shown that they're a very devastating team on the break, especially with Landon Donavon on the team.
There is hope for Houston, and they need not look further than LA's last game. It was evident in the second leg of the Western Conference final that Seattle did not fear the Galaxy counterattack, as they committed players forward to overcome their 3-0 deficit. Mind you, they were at home.
However, Seattle probably would not have been so bold had Donovan been in the lineup. He is the most important player to LA's counter with his speed and decision making in the final third.
His partnership with Robbie Keane has been, at many times, unstoppable.
In the end, the key to the match will be whether or not Houston can contain the Galaxy counterattack. They definitely can't sit back like they did last year, or they'll be inviting trouble. On the other hand, they'll need to be selective about when to push numbers forward or else they'll be cut apart by the speed of Donovan and skill of Keane.
It's a delicate line that Houston will need to toe if they have any chance of spoiling the Beckham finale known as MLS Cup 2012.
In the end, I think that LA are just too strong. They're the best team in the league, they're at home, and they'll have the buzz of Beckham's last game spurring them on.
PREDICTION: LA Galaxy 3-1 Houston Dynamo
Martin Rennie and his coaching staff will be racking up the air miles as they continue to look for that special player, that diamond in the rough, that player that could take them to the next level. To do so, they will be using all their contacts and scouts to get good leads on potential players that could make their mark with the 'Caps in Major League Soccer (MLS).
I had the chance to sit down with assistant coach Carl Robinson who had six successful years playing in MLS and now has the chance to scout and help bring the right kind of player to Vancouver.
Carl has built up a great number of contacts around the globe through his playing days, which he relies on now to keep tabs on players throughout the world.
"We get maybe 50 players a week sent to us as foreign players realize more that North America is a great place to live and MLS is a good league to play in," explained the Welshman. "We will go and watch a player four or five times before we make a decision."
Building a team
When Whitecaps FC coaching staff head out to scout players they obviously have a plan. This isn't just a one-off plan, its part of an overall map for the club's success.
Robinson talked to me about their short, medium, and long-term plans.
Last year they worked off a short-term plan of getting the 'Caps turned around from a last-place finish in the club's inaugural MLS season. The goal was to make the playoffs. Mission accomplished.
Now they can move forward with their medium and long-term plans as they look to make the 'Caps a team that makes the playoffs every year and starts challenging for the MLS Cup.
To do that, you need the right players, and that's where scouting comes in.
What does it take?
Aside from the obvious requirements of talent and soccer-playing ability, many off-the-field factors determine whether a foreign player will have success here.
The first thing Robinson mentioned was the adjustment players have to make in coming to North America. It has been said before that MLS is very different to many other leagues around the world. It's been called a very athletic league, and when you combine that with other challenging factors, you can quickly see why there are a number of good players that have had trouble adapting to playing in this league.
It can take players up to six months to settle down. First off, they're in a new country with new teammates, and if they have a family, that adds another level of adjustment. From there players must conform to a different playing style, travel, time change, and different climates that they will play in.
So before deciding on whether to bring in a player, coaches will want to feel comfortable that he's capable of making these adjustments.
To find that out, Whitecaps FC coaching staff will first talk to the manager of whichever team their targeted player is playing for. This allows them to do a background check on a player to see what his attributes and character are like. After all, Rennie has always preached that he wants to bring in character players.
What's on the horizon?
With the offseason providing a window of time away from training and preparing for matches, Robinson will be doing some traveling as he continues to scout for talent, having already been to South and Central America.
A possible trip to Africa could also be on the cards. Robinson would hope to find another gem like Gershon Koffie, who had a solid 2012 season for the 'Caps.
"You find that the young African players are usually very raw, but if you can find a player that is willing to listen and work hard to reach their potential you can find that special player."
And if he and the rest of the coaching staff are successful in finding a diamond in the rough, it could help make the 'Caps a cut above the rest of the competition.
The 2012 MLS Cup final will be a rematch of last year's final: LA Galaxy versus Houston Dynamo at the Home Depot Center, the same venue as last year. If that's not remarkable enough, then consider that these two teams finished fourth (LA) and fifth (Houston) in their respective conferences during the regular season.
What does this mean? Well for one, it turns out that home field advantage wasn't much of an advantage at all.
Sporting Kansas City in the East and San Jose Earthquakes in the West won their conferences by five and nine points respectively, giving them home field advantage right to the final. Both teams had strong regular seasons, especially at home, which they would be relying on come playoff time. However, both SKC and San Jose would lose their first round matchups to much lower seeded teams in the playoffs and see their season come to an abrupt end. Kansas City had 10 more points than Houston and San Jose had 12 more points than LA.
When you see what LA and Houston have done it is easy to discredit the regular season. Of course, here in Vancouver we painfully remember the eighth-seeded LA Kings powering past everything in their way to win the Stanley Cup.
So what does home field advantage mean in a two-leg series? Well, you get to play the second match at home, which means you know what you have to do to win in front of your crowd, and if it goes to extra time or penalties you have the advantage of playing on your home field.
The problem with this is that you really need to get a favorable result on the road in the first game so you don't have too much of a mountain to climb in the return leg (see DC United and Seattle).
You also have to consider that the team that has home field advantage has to travel twice. First to their away match, then back home. The lower seeded team gets to stay at home for the first match, without traveling, and then embark on a single trip for the second game.
DC United were a strange exception this season. They were the higher seeded team, but due to Hurricane Sandy they ended up hosting the first game in DC, with the return leg moved to New York. And guess what? That ended up working out just fine for United, as they had a 1-1 draw in the first leg before winning a thrilling 1-0 game in the second leg.
In the end, DC would fall in the Conference final when the tables were turned and they hosted the second leg after being faced with a 3-1 deficit from the first game in Houston. It proved too much to overcome.
Same thing happened to Seattle. They fell 3-0 to LA Galaxy on the road. A valiant effort saw them pull within a goal at 2-0 in the second leg, but a penalty kick awarded to the Galaxy broke their backs.
You could say that Houston is a team built for the playoffs and that the Galaxy have the best talent in the league, and that's why they are preparing to battle for the MLS Cup again.
But the results of the MLS Cup playoffs are sure make teams think about how they approach the long and hard MLS season and what is the best route for progressing into the postseason.
While the players are departing all over the globe to begin their offseason break, it is certainly no time off for our coaching staff. They have lots of work to do as they look to put next year's team together, which will mean scouting trips across North America as college tournaments get under way, and trips around the world to unearth that next gem of a player.
Scouting through the college ranks will be very interesting this year since we have two first round picks in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft (#5 and #10) that could really fit some of the team's needs for next year. The NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament begins this Thursday evening as 32 teams will begin their quest for a spot in the College Cup, taking place in Hoover, Alabama, on December 7 and 9 – the weekend after MLS Cup.
When you think about the last couple of MLS SuperDrafts it is exciting to think what type of impact players we could draft with our two first round picks. We've already seen great young prospects join our own team in the form of Omar Salgado and Darren Mattocks. However, while those picks were number one and number two overall, there are often diamonds in the rough that can be found outside of the top couple of picks.
Look no further than this year's Eastern Conference finals where two young draftees have been key figures for their respective teams. Will Bruin of the Houston Dynamo (11th overall in 2011) has scored four goals already these playoffs, while Nick DeLeon of DC United (7th overall in 2012) has come up with a pair of timely goals to lead his side.
These playoff performances are no surprise either.
DeLeon played in 28 games this season, scoring six goals and adding four assists for United. Bruin, meanwhile, had a solid rookie season in 2011, playing in 25 games and scoring five goals while adding one assist. This past year he showed that he's taken his game to another level by scoring 12 goals and adding four assists in 32 games to establish himself as a regular starter.
It's not just midfielders and strikers who are valuable in the draft. Chicago's ninth overall pick in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft, defender Austin Berry, started 28 games for the Fire and chipped in three goals.
These are the types of players our coaching staff will be looking for as they scout the NCAA tournament. With a year in MLS under their belt, Martin Rennie and the rest of his coaching staff now have a better understanding of what they need to help take Whitecaps FC to the next level.
Having two picks in the first round is a big opportunity for the 'Caps and they're working hard to ensure that no stone is left unturned.
So while the players get a well deserved rest, our coaches are putting in more air miles to ensure we get the most out of the offseason.

Her name was Obie. When she died in 2013, Martha Harris went into mourning. She had owned the black Labrador for six years and her death left Harris shaken and bereft.
"She was everything to me. She was my daughter," said Harris, a retired nurse and medical office receptionist. After surgery failed to relieve her 11-year-old dog's pain, the Glyndon resident had her euthanized.
"I wanted her to die with dignity but it was the hardest thing I ever had to do," said Harris, who keeps Obie's cremated ashes in a box on a bookcase, surrounded by photographs of the two in happier times.
In her sorrow, Harris turned to the Baltimore Humane Society, a private, nonprofit organization at 1601 Nicodemus Road, Reisterstown. Besides its veterinary practice and animal adoptions, the "no-kill" society offers a unique service — pet grief groups led by a certified counselor. In the local area, only one other venue, Hunt Valley Animal Hospital, appears to have a similar service.

Think you're excited for some Orioles playoff action? Consider Trufflz, who may be more excited than anyone else in town.
Trufflz is a 4-year-old shih tzu owned by Caryn Green, who lives in Mount Washington and works at Glarus Chocolatier in Timonium — hence the pup's name. She has an impressive collection of orange and black toys that Green collects every Halloween and is spending much of her time this week in an Orioles tutu and hair bow.
"We are waiting for our Orioles to triumph in the post-season and hopefully bring that World Series trophy back to Baltimore," says Green, who's also a life-long fan of the team.

Jon Walker's friends were looking forward to watching him reunite with his beloved German shepherd, Zara, when he returns from a year-long Army deployment in Afghanistan later this month.
But his dog bolted into a patch of woods while playing catch with a dogsitter in Crownsville last week and a non-stop effort to find her has proven fruitless, leaving them suspicious that there might be more to this than meets the eye.
"Jon is devastated," says his friend Heather Cappelli, who's spearheading the effort to find Zara. "I feel so badly for him. He wants to come home and look for her, and he can't. We're doing everything in our power to find her before he comes back."
Walker, who is from Kent Island, was deployed to Afghanistan about a year ago and left Zara in the care of Ashley Morsberger, a friend who's from Davidsonville but now lives in South Carolina. On a visit to her parents' home last Monday, Morsberger took Zara to a field in Crownsville. She said she threw a ball and Zara ran for...Read more

Customer Reviews:
Rated 2.5 out of 5�by 6 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Ron I would buy this product again I have a chipping area in the back yard and a 500 sqft green. The mat allows me to move around the yard without tearing up my grass. Has good feel and large enough to get both feet on the mat. I had a smaller mat but the issue was with the stance being off of the mat. Need to make sure you roll out the mat and make it smooth so you get a good feel when hitting, if not and it's wavy you dont the get a true feel. September 10, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by Scotty H Not for Heavy Ball Hitters If you pick the ball, this may work for you. However, if you take a proper divot when you strike the ball this will not last long. Purchased at a local Dick's two months ago, have hit 300 - 400 irons off it and it is falling apart. The artifical turf is pulling out, including the backing. Commercial Grade is an inadequate discriptor. Hank Haney Commercial Grade from [@] is twice as thick and far more durable....had one for 8 years before needing to replace.....heading back in that direction. Twice the cost, but in the end worth it if this one needs replacing so frequently. August 22, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by flyingryno This hitting mat IS NOT commercial grade I returned this product to the store after one session of ball striking. The mat was torn and cut from the underside. I am a decent ball striker and really expected to have this for a few seasons of backyard practice but was completely dissapointed with the product. Steer clear of this hitting mat. September 9, 2012

The Georgia Institute of Technology (commonly called Georgia Tech, Tech, and GT) is a public research university in Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States. It is a part of the University System of Georgia and has satellite campuses in Savannah, Georgia; Metz, France; Athlone, Ireland; Shanghai, China; and Singapore. The educational institution was founded in 1885 as the Georgia School of Technology as part of Reconstruction plans to build an industrial economy in the post-Civil War Southern United States. Initially, it offered only a degree in mechanical engineering. By 1901, its curriculum had expanded to include electrical, civil, and chemical engineering. In 1948, the school changed its name to reflect its evolution from a trade school to a larger and more capable technical institute and research university. Today, Georgia Tech is organized into six colleges and contains about 31 departments/units, with a strong emphasis on science and technology. It is well recognized for its degree programs in engineering, computing, management, the sciences, architecture, and liberal arts. Tech is consistently ranked as one of the top 10 public universities in the nation and is a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities.
