Colorado Rapids
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy will look to extend their home unbeaten run to 27 games on Saturday when they host the Colorado Rapids.
Not only have the Galaxy gone unbeaten at home since last March but the club is on a three game unbeaten run despite playing without captain Robbie Keane. The Rapids arrive in Southern California without injured Marcelo Sarvas but boasting a respectable two game unbeaten streak.
In the latest edition of LAGalaxy.com's By the Numbers, we look at LA's fantastic home record against Colorado.
CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena says Robbie Keane and Jose Villarreal are "not likely" to feature in this weekend's clash with the Colorado Rapids.
The Colorado match will be the fourth consecutive game that Keane has missed with a groin strain while Villarreal reinjured his right hamstring during his participation with the U.S. Under-23's last week. In Keane's absence, the Galaxy have performed ablely, complying a 2-0-1 in three matches.
"I'm not spending a whole lot of time worrying about them. When they're ready, they're ready," Arena said on Thursday. "We can't worry about it right now, we'll see. Every day tells us a little bit more."
CARSON, Calif. -- On Wednesday, the LA Galaxy returned to the training ground for the first time this week, but captain Robbie Keane was not with the squad.
Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena confirmed to reporters that Keane did not take part in the team's first session ahead of this Saturday's clash with the Colorado Rapids. Arena revealed that the Irishman will continue to be evalauted throughout the week as he looks to recover from a groin strain that has caused him to miss the last three games.
Although the Galaxy have gone unbeaten in the three games that Keane has missed, Arena admits that the Irishman's absence has been felt particularly due to the fact that LA has started three different forward combinations since the captain went down.
"It is an impact. We don't have any Robbie Keanes sitting on the bench at the moment," Arena said. "When you lose Robbie, you lose some characteristics of your attack but then it takes a little bit of time. But having said that since when Robbie has been out, we've still been able to get points. It is what it is."
While Keane's status is still in doubt, Arena did have positive news regarding Jose Villarreal who the Galaxy boss is, "will be getting back [to practice] soon."
Former LA Galaxy midfielder Marcelo Sarvas set to miss match against his old club after undergoing knee surgery
CARSON, Calif. -- Former LA Galaxy midfielder Marcelo Sarvas will not suit up for the Colorado Rapids against his old club this weekend after the Rapids announced that the Brazilian midfielder will miss the next four to six weeks after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery.
Sarvas' surgery was performed on Monday in Los Angeles to repair a right knee issue that had been plaguing the 33-year-old Brazilian for several weeks.
According to the Denver Post, Sarvas will remain in Los Angeles as he recovers which means that it could be possible for the Galaxy to honor the two-time MLS Cup champion at some stage during Saturday's game.
Marcelo Sarvas says contract issues and the need for a new challenge led to his move from the LA Galaxy
CARSON, Calif. -- Marcelo Sarvas is no longer a member of the LA Galaxy, but the Brazilian midfielder who was a major part in two MLS Cup titles spoke to LAGalaxy.com about his tenure with the team.
In my exclusive sit down with Sarvas, the Brazilian speaks about his arrival and what brought him to the club as well as his relationship with the fans and teammates. However, not every bit was included in my own written piece or the video interview.
Below were some excerpts from my exclusive sit down with Sarvas.
(On replacing David Beckham in the midfield…)
SARVAS: I came to a team that was a championship and where every player was good especially in the midfield where we had Beckham and Juni. I worked so hard to get a spot but that year, I found my spot on the team because of the Olympic games where David was very busy. Then I started to play and the team started to win games—not because of me but because we were good. We then reached the playoffs and I started to play more and get more credit. That was year was the last year for David and then me and Juni started to play every game. It was a pleasure to replace David but, of course, it's hard to fill his shoes. You can't say anything about David and what he made for soccer. Then me and Juni started to work together and people started to see how we work together. This year was the best year for me for sure.
(On his mindset and why he was such a fan favorite…)
SARVAS: There are a lot of people who pay to make that day special for their family and their kids and that means that you have to give everything that you have. That doesn't mean that you're perfect every day, but they have to see that you're trying and you fight for them. Now I go to Colorado with the same mentality to play for the people over there.
(On the goal against Seattle…)
SARVAS: I don't know if I was preparing myself to leave the club because no one knows how negotiations can go. But things started to build up during and after the season and I was starting to feel like this was my last year with the Galaxy. When I scored that goal, it was like I was saying good bye to everyone and that's why I felt that emotion. Even though we were going to the final, on my mind was that it was probably my last goal. Everything came very fast."
(On when he started to feel like he was going to leave…)
SARVAS: Everyone knows the salary cap situation in MLS and everyone wishes for more which is normal. You have a team that is successful and every player wants more because your price rises. That's normal in every club, but we know how it is here. We know that the Galaxy are always working with a tight budget so in my mind, I felt like we couldn't reach what we wanted. Also, I think that every player and athlete needs a challenge. "Every player and every athlete needs a new challenge. I've been here for three years and while it's natural to get settled, I always try to look over those emotions. It was time for a new challenge to get the best for me. Last year, I showed my best here and now I think I need something more to get the best from me. This move came at a good time for me.
(On the importance of getting a new contract…)
SARVAS: I think that with a contract you have to fight for the best for you and your family and that's what I did. I'm 33, it's no secret and I know that I'm going to be retired in three or four or five years. I'm prepared to play more with the way that I take care of myself, but the end will come soon, and my family has to be settled. Soccer doesn't give the same opportunities to all players that are financially secure so I had to fight for my family.
(On what it'll be like playing the Galaxy…)
SARVAS: "I don't know. It'll be nice to play against the guys that I know and it'll be a real special moment for me."
The annual Major League Soccer All-Star Game is heading to the Rockies.
The league announced on Wednesday in Denver that the 20th annual MLS All-Star Game will take place at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, the home of the Colorado Rapids in Commerce City, Colorado on July 29th. The opposition for the MLS All-Stars has yet to be confirmed. Colorado last hosted the All-Star Game in 2007 when the MLS All-Stars defeated Scottish side Celtic 2-0.
Unlike past years, the date of the All-Star Game could benefit the Galaxy who play their final match before the All-Star break on the road against the Houston Dynamo on July 25 before returning to action on Aug. 1 in Commerce City against the Rapids.
#Rapids96 head coach Pablo Mastroeni will coach the #MLS All-Stars
— Daniel Boniface (@danielboniface) January 21, 2015
Former LA Galaxy midfielder Marcelo Sarvas is excited to lead his new team the Colorado Rapids after being dealt from the MLS Cup champions on Thursday in exchange for the third spot on the MLS allocation order.
Giving his first interview since the trade, Sarvas told Richard Fleming on the Colorado Rapids podcast that negotiations about a move to Colorado have occurred since the days following LA's MLS Cup triumph. Although the 33-year-old admitted that it was bittersweet to be living the Galaxy, he said that was eager for a new challenge in Colorado.
"I feel sad because I left a place that I had a lot of feelings for, but I'm also very happy because I believe in God and he opened this door for me. I feel comfortable to say that it was the right move," said Sarvas. "I expect big things from Colorado."
Sarvas and the Rapids will take on the LA Galaxy for the first time on May 5 at StubHub Center.
Bruce Arena tells ESPN FC that Marcelo Sarvas trade provides LA Galaxy with "flexibility" to build 2015 roster
PHILADELPHIA -- The LA Galaxy dealt one of chief contributors to their 2014 MLS Cup title run on Thursday by trading Marcelo Sarvas to the Colorado Rapids, but the club now appears primed to replace the departing Brazilian with another top tier talent.
LA dealt Sarvas and an international roster spot to the Rapids on Thursday in a move that saw the Galaxy move up to the third spot on the league's allocation order. Reports have swirled that move will allow the Galaxy to acquire U.S. international Sacha Kljestan, a player who has long been on the club's radar. According to ESPN FC's Jeff Carlisle, the deal should allow the Galaxy the freedom to acquire Kljestan or any other returning U.S. international as neither the two teams ahead of them in the ranking, the Montreal Impact and San Jose Earthquakes are expected to impede LA's plans.
In addition to Arena speaking out about the Brazilian midfielder's departure, Sarvas' partner in central midfield Juninho also addressed his departure via his personal instagram.
"Marcelo, I want to wish you the best of luck in the next step of your life. Thank you for teaching me a lot of things about soccer, especially never giving up no matter the situation. You are a very good player and an example of dedication and companionship," Juninho said. "We were a good duo. It was a pleasure to play and live by your side and to know you in and off the field. Good luck to you in your next new club. LA, my family and I gonna miss you, Champion.'

There's no feeling better than scoring a goal in the playoffs.
Ahead of the LA Galaxy's Western Conference Championship contest against Seattle Sounders FC, I joined Galaxy TV to look at the top five playoff goals in club history.
Check it out the video above and if you disagree with any of my selections, leave a comment below.
Colorado Rapids Goalkeeper Joe Nasco earns fastest red card in MLS history in 6-0 loss to the LA Galaxy
CARSON, Calif. -- It's safe to say that Colorado Rapids goalkeeper Joe Nasco had one of the worst nights of his career, and he did it all without playing a single minute.
Just 34 seconds into the game, Alan Gordon skirted past Nasco during a scramble in front of goal, but before he could get a shot off at an empty net, Nasco yanked down the forward. Despite the extremely early juncture of the game, referee Baldomero Toledo pointed to the spot and handed out a red card for Nasco which was the quickest red card in league history.
Gyasi [Zardes] and [Alan] Gordon made great runs across the box and Todd [Dunivant] put in a great cross in front of the goal and when you do that, good things happen," said Landon Donovan. "Gordon did a good job to get his feet on it and was going to score and got pulled down, so that's part of the game and it's unfortunate for them."
Prior to Nasco's foible, the previous holder of the dubious distinction was former New York Red Bulls defender Carlos Johnson, who was sent off in the second minute of a match with the then-Kansas City Wizards back on April 23, 2009.
Although Nasco will likely have to carry the distinction for some time, he got little sympathy from the home side.
"If the goalkeeper doesn't do that, then they don't get the red card," said defender Omar Gonzalez. "That's the way the game is played, those are the rules. It's tough that's the way it went down, but that had to happen."

Former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit today moved the Delhi High Court to oppose the plea of the then AAP government to withdraw the appeal filed by her dispensation against a lower court order to register an FIR against her in a corruption case. "Permit applicant Sheila Dikshit to object to the withdrawal application (filed by Aam Aadmi Party government) and permit Dikshit to contest the present petition," the plea, which is likely to be taken up tomorrow, said. The Arvind Kejriwal government had on February 14 (when it resigned) moved the court seeking to take back the appeal, filed by the previous Congress government, against the decision of a lower court, saying
Dikshit will have to defend herself as she is no more the Chief Minister and the government lacked the "locus standi" to fight for her.
Opposing the move, Dikshit, in her plea, said "the said act of the appellant/petitioner/ state is unconstitutional in as much as there has been no change in the facts and circumstances of the present case which has necessitated the state to file withdrawal application."
Seeking the impleadment of Dikshit as a party, the plea, filed through lawyer Mehmood Pracha, said "the act of the state...would adversely affect the right of Sheila Dikshit as one of the affected parties."
Justice VP Vaish is likely to hear the pleas of the state government and Dikshit tomorrow. The AAP government, which resigned after the controversy over passage of the Jan Lokpal Bill, had highlighted its stand against corruption and said the cabinet's decision to take back the appeal was approved by the Lt Governor.
The previous Congress government had gone to the high court in September last year against a lower court order to register an FIR against Dikshit on a complaint of BJP leader Vijender Gupta alleging her administration misused public funds to the tune Rs 22.56 crore in an advertisement campaign ahead of 2008 assembly polls. The order was stayed by the high court.

Verve had a Number One single with The Drugs Don't Work in September 1997. The group disbanded when singer songwriter Ashcroft launched his solo career with Alone with Everybody (2000). Chris Floyd's portrait was made in Richmond Park, overlooking London during a break from recording Urban Hymns at a studio in Chiswick.

But here's what really razzed my dazz: At Tappo, seasonal appetizers are the constant on the laminated menu, while a separate sheet lists the shifting nightly selection of mains. The place specializes in Mediterranean tapas. We perused, and I was thrilled to find that one of the regular offerings was faraona tonnatoguinea fowl in a tuna fish sauce ($16). These speckled birds hark back to the African continent. Perhaps it was their reputation as crop robbers as well as their feral tendencies that inspired xenophobic Europeans to dub them the Bohemians of the barnyard, or perhaps it was the fact that, although they were eaten in ancient Greece and mentioned by Herodotus, it was Gypsies who revived their consumption in the 14th century. The Italian word that I saw on the menu, faraona, recalls their connection with pharaonic Egypt, as does the Latin name of the genus, Numida, meaning from Numidia, the ancient equivalent of Algeria. Along with cats and jackasses, guinea fowl are the only animals to survive transplantation from Africa to the New World. Eaten in other parts of the hemisphere, they come in a poor fourth in these partsafter domestic hens, turkeys, and wild birds. We don't know what we're missing. The tasty flesh was sumptuous under the light napping of tuna sauce, which masked the muskiness of the bird and highlighted the fatless flesh's resemblance to baby veal.
Tappo, however, offers more than faraona. A cazuela of angulas ($28) was toothsome, but only tepid the first time. On a second try, a tangle of baby eels and their companion chunks of garlic arrived sweet, tender, and, crucially, bubbling hot. The sardines tartare ($10)a combination of minced raw fish, red onion, bits of tomato, and snippets of chive with a zest of citrus to bring out the slightly smoky flavor of the fishwere a sharp twist on the usual tuna and salmon. From the bounty of salads, the arugula with a crumble of goat cheese and slices of strawberry ($8) proved a tempting mix of sweet and bitey. Baked baby bay scallops ($12) were less successful, their well-cooked delicacy overwhelmed by scallion and radish sprouts. On a second trip a carnivorous friend and I decided to try a main, opting for the aged sirloin Tagliata ($26). A mighty slab of perfectly pink meat arrived, accompanied by a toss of arugula topped with shavings of parmesan and a lemon wedge. But there was enough left over for sandwiches. We had no intention of resisting the lure of Tappo's aps.

Dae Jo-yeong (died 719), also known in Korea as King Go (Hangul: 고왕, Hanja: 高王), established the state of Balhae, reigning from 699 to 719.
Background and Early life[edit]
Dae Jo-yeong was the first son of general Dae Jung-sang (Hangul: 대중상, Hanja: 大仲象) or Qiqi Zhongxiang (Chinese: 乞乞仲象 pinyin: Qǐqǐ Zhòngxiàng) of Goguryeo, and was born in Goguryeo.
After the fall of Goguryeo to the Silla-Tang armies, Dae Jung-sang remained in a part of Goguryeo which had not been attacked during the 3rd Goguryeo-Tang war. Afterward, Dae Jung-sang was opposed to the Tang. In the confusion of the Khitan uprising led by Li Jinzhong against the Tang (Zhou) in May 696, Dae Jung-sang led at least 8,000 Goguryeo remnant peoples, the Sumo Mohe people, to Dongmo mountain, and the Baishan Mohe leader Geolsa Biu (Hangul: 걸사비우, Hanja: 乞四比羽 pinyin: Qǐsì bǐyǔ), made an alliance and sought independence.
Establishing Balhae[edit]
The Tang killed Geolsa Biu, and Dae Jung-sang also died. Dae Jo-yeong integrated the armies of Goguryeo people and some Malgal tribes and resisted Tang's attack. His overwhelming victory over the Tang at the Battle of Cheonmun-ryeong (Hangul: 천문령, Hanja: 天門嶺) enabled him to expand his father's empire. He claimed himself the King of Jin in 698, and established "Jin state" (Hangul: 진국, Hanja: 辰國). He established his capital at Dongmo Mountain in the south of today's Jilin province, and built Dongmo mountain fortress, which was to become Jin's capital.
He attempted to expand his influence in international politics involving the Tang, the Göktürks, the Khitan, Silla and some independent Mohe tribes. At first he dispatched an envoy to the Göktürks, allying against Tang. Then he reconciled himself with the Tang when Emperor Zhongzong was restored to the throne.
In 712, he renamed his empire Balhae. In 713 he was given the titular title of "Prefecture King of Balhae" by Emperor Xuanzong. After a period of rest within the empire, King Go made it clear that Silla was not to be dealt with peacefully because they had allied with Tang to destroy Goguryeo, the predecessor of Balhae. This aggressive stance towards Silla was continued on by his son and successor King Mu of Balhae.
Death and Succession[edit]
Dae Jo-yeong died in 719, and his son Dae Muye assumed the throne. Dae Jo-yeong was given the posthumous name "King Go."
Dae Jo-yeong had at least two wives. His only known sons through his first wife were Dae Muye, and Dae Munye. The sons through his other wife or wives were Dae Chwi-jin, Dae Ho-bang, and Dae Nang-a. The only concrete fact regarding Dae Jo-yeong's sons was that Dae Muye was the firstborn and oldest among them. He had younger brother, Dae Ya-Bal.
After the fall of Balhae, the last prince led all of the Balhae aristocracy into the fellow successor state of Goguryeo, Goryeo. Dae Jo-yeong's descendants include modern-day Koreans who bear the surname "Tae" (태).
In South Korea, a television drama on KBS1 was launched since September 2006 in his honor. Roughly 30% (based on 2007 survey) of the Korean viewers enjoyed this programme.
Dae Jo-yeong built a vast army and a powerful navy just as the Taewangs of Goguryeo had done.
The third Chungmugong Yi Sun-sin class destroyer commissioned by the Republic of Korea Navy is named Dae Jo-yeong. KDX-II class destroyers are named after significant figures in Korean history such as admiral Yi Sun-sin.

Man Without a Country
To hear him tell it, Richard Chichakli would like nothing more than to return to his humdrum life as a Richardson accountant. But thanks to the U.S. government, that may never happen.
In April 2005, federal agents with guns drawn stormed Chichakli's modest brick home, informing him that they had permission to search the house (See "Secret Justice," by Jesse Hyde, December 21). At the same time, treasury agents were raiding his office on Central Expressway, where, according to Chichakli, they seized more than $500,000 in valuables, including a boxful of diamonds and a stack of $1,000 bills.
The raid was the result of a July 2004 executive order signed by President Bush that imposed economic sanctions against those who were contributing to the chaos and unrest in Liberia, including Victor Bout, a Russian who is widely considered the world's most notorious arms dealer.
Chichakli, who is of Syrian descent, once considered Bout a friend and worked with him as an accountant. While Chichakli maintains he never had anything to do with Bout's alleged arms trafficking, evidence gathered by the U.S. government says otherwise.
Since his assets were frozen, Chichakli has been living in exile, first in Syria and now in Moscow. For the last two-plus years, Chichakli has been in a legal battle with the U.S. government to clear his name and return to America, where his wife and teenage son still live.
But last month, those hopes were dashed when U.S. District Judge David Godbey dismissed Chichakli's claims that his constitutional rights were violated when federal agents raided his home and office and subsequently froze his assets.
Despite the ruling, Chichakli continues to insist that he hasn't been given a fair shake. "The majority of the media [are] assuming that my case was tried in a court of law, by a jury of my peers and where evidence [is] presented and reviewed prior to rendering judgment," Chichakli says.
But this wasn't the case.
Instead, Chichakli says a judgment was handed down even though his attorney was never seen by the judge or allowed to present evidence in his behalf. He also says Godbey didn't ask a single question of the government legal team that presented the case against Chichakli, a case they described as "highly complicated."
"It seems that all the highly complicated matters as the government described became so crystal clear to Judge Godbey without the need to see evidence or listen to an argument given by the person who filed the case," Chichakli says. "I think nowadays...cases are getting to be selectively treated either as a case for the court or a case for the back door of the court."
The Office of Foreign Assets Control, a division of the U.S. Treasury which is handling the case against Chichakli, has denied all requests for comment.

Our Partners and More

More Info
What our
Our flagship product: The AskPatty.com Certified Female Friendly® program was designed specifically for automotive retailers to attract, sell, retain and increase loyalty with women. Our program provides you with the training, tools, and support you need to dominate your local market with women.
Ask Patty trained and certified retailers are held to a high level of customer satisfaction for women consumers.
Program Overview:
If your social media presence is gathering dust, the GoSocial program will manage your social sites for you and keep them active.
Being "Certified Female Friendly®" adds a new dimension to customer service. Not that we at AutoAid in Van Nuys California haven't been Female Friendly for the past 31 years in business, but becoming an AskPatty.com Certified shop has enhanced our presence in the independent automotive service arena. Primarily, it has given me an EDGE in marketing my shop to women in the community, in that just the mere mention of being Certified Female Friendly brings comfort to women who in the past have dreaded going to a mechanic without a male figure at their side for fear of being "ripped off". Women appreciate the fact that AutoAid staff has taken the time to train to be better listeners, maintain cleaner shops and be patient with their needs. We have also benefited greatly by Jody DeVere's supreme knowledge of Social Media Marketing and her willingness to share that knowledge on a personal basis. It's the sign of the times and either you get on board or you'll be left behind.

DFA continues probe of US drone
More News from Tarra Quismundo
The Department of Foreign Affairs is conducting a further inquiry into the US drone that was found floating off the coast of Masbate even as it ruled out any sovereignty issues arising from the incident.
Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario on Wednesday said that retired general Edilberto Adan, executive officer of the Presidential Commission on the Visiting Forces Agreement (PCVFA), is continuing an investigation into the drone recovery.
The United States Embassy in Manila has explained that the aerial target drone had been deployed from a US Navy destroyer in September last year as part of an all-US naval exercise and was brought to Philippine coastal waters by ocean currents where it was found by fishermen in Masbate last Sunday.
The drone, an unarmed aerial vehicle that the US Embassy said was different from that used for surveillance was found to have barnacles, indicating that it had been in the water for a long time.
"Since it did not fly over Philippine territory, I don't think in that specific case there are any sovereignty issues," said Del Rosario told a press briefing Wednesday.
"I understand the drone has not flown over Philippine territory and unarmed and used as an aerial target. That's my knowledge to this moment," the foreign secretary said.
The militant Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan), which claims that the US uses drones for surveillance operations in the Philippines and has called on Congress to conduct an inquiry, said the DFA seemed to have accepted the US explanation at face value.
"The DFA merely accepted the statement of the US government without even conducting its own probe. The DFA also refuses to address the broader issue, which is the use of drones in Philippine airspace, and whether the US is abusing the VFA to gain unrestricted use of Philippine airspace," said Bayan secretary general Renato Reyes Jr.
Bayan earlier cited a New York Times report that revealed the US military's use of drones to hunt down an Indonesian terror suspect in Mindanao in 2006. The US military maintains a contingent in southern Philippines to provide technical assistance to the Armed Forces.
Del Rosario pointed out that the DFA was continuing with its investigation.
