Ri Ra Irish Pub

- http://www.mandalaybay.com/dining/ri-ra-irish-pub/
Ri Ra Irish Pub brings authenticism to a whole new level — it was constructed from a pub meticulously restored in Ireland, then shipped and reassembled at Mandalay Place. Offering a lineup of live music, a comprehensive drink list and fare that defies pub standards, the latest endeavor from Irish natives and longtime friends David Kelly and Ciaran Sheehan and their American partner, Jay Luther, also delivers live entertainment seven nights a week, including traditional Irish Sessions and visiting bands direct from Ireland. A weekend brunch is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Ri Ra's executive chef, James Sawyer, says they take seven days to brine the beef in house for their corned beef and cabbage and for the Reuben.

Advanced Air Duct SolutionRead MoreIt's hard to clean air directly. So instead, Advanced Air Duct Solution's team of highly trained technicians cleans ventilating systems and ductwork. At both homes and offices, they use a 10-step process that relies on negative air pressure to clear ducts of dust, secondhand smoke, and residual vapors from cleaning products. They apply a similar process to chimneys too, stripping away buildup and any scraps of red velour left by Santa Claus.172 main st unit 32Metuchen, NJ US

HOUSTON An off-duty Lakeview police officer opened fire on a suspect in a jewelry store robbery Monday in southeast Houston.
Police said the criminal posed as a customer as he walked into Lewis Diamonds and Timepieces around 1:30 p.m. in the 19300 block of the Gulf Freeway.
The man held a large bag as he approached the officer, who was working a second job as a security officer. The robber proceeded to pepper spray the officer in the eyes at point-blank range, investigators said. Then he pulled out a plastic toy gun and began making demands.
That s when the officer began firing repeatedly at the man, but he still managed to run out the back, hop in a silver car and get away, police said.
Anytime you have a situation like this. It is pretty terrifying for the witnesses, said HPD spokesman Victor Senties. Fortunately, due to the officer s actions, no one was hurt.
Employees at a Best Buy store located across from the crime scene were hoping the robber would be caught soon.
It s scary; we are so close to the jewelry store, it can happen to us. I know we are a bigger store, it s just scary, said Ashley Luckey, who works nearby.
Police said they are not sure if the robber got away with any merchandise.
This is the third robbery in recent weeks in which pepper spray was used.
Police said it s too early to say if the crime could be connected to the other ones.

After Harrah's tried to rob me I went to the Empress/Hollywood casino and had a good time. The slots were average tight but the food was good.
JMJ It gives the allusion that all is happy and winning but that's smoke and mirrors. As you talk to others around you, no one is winning! Go downtown to Harrahs where the action is.
The Empress Casino no longer exists. Back before Hollywood bought it and re modeled, the Empress was Jolly Good. I won on several occasions. Starting with Craps, Black Jack and Video Poker. I seldom left without a few winnings.
It is now Hollywood Casino and has been for at least two years. It has been updated after an extensive fire in the Casino over two years ago.
went with some friends. music was loud, won some money, seen a few people from our area. we did not eat any food, just drank. haha
Best seafood buffet! Pavilion looks great since I was there last. No luck on slots or tables, but everything almost made my loss worth it.
I know these experiences can range in accordance with how much one might win or lose at these types of places but you'll need some extra cash in your pocket to get started if you're playing some of the table games. Standard Blackjack doesn't allow anything less than a $15 minumum. Its been that way for years. You can play...
Stayed at Harrahs but made 2 trips here. We actually had a lit if fun & were able to play much longer per dollar spent than at Harrahs! Liked the atmosphere too.
Since being rebuilt from being burnt down, empress casino now hollywood casino buffet quality has gone way down. Buffet price on friday night now 36.00 with tax. Crab legs on menu, but they ration them out to you. The rest of the buffet food you would get a better quality just going to a golden corral. On two different occassions...
Apparently this is now known as Hollywood Casino, was moved a few miles down river to its new location. The games were all top of the line, brand new games, plus a few oldies thrown in. Had an excellent feel to it. Wish we could go back again soon, but we live 800 miles away!

SYRACUSE. N.Y. (AP) - Police in Syracuse, N.Y., say a 17-year-old girl held up a bank by threatening tellers with what she claimed was a bomb detonator.
The Syracuse Post-Standard reports that Cheyenne Brandon walked into an Alliance Bank branch Wednesday morning, holding a device attached to a cord.
Court records say she told the tellers she had a bomb and "was going to blow everyone up" unless they turned over their money. Two tellers gave her a total of $1,395.
Police tell the newspaper an officer saw Brandon running into a nearby park and caught her, recovering the money. There was no bomb.
Brandon is being held on a first-degree robbery charge.

On the job in the classroom
VISTA -- Hundreds of Vista high school students every year are on the job while inside the classroom.
The Regional Occupational Program, around since the 1960s, has steadily increased in popularity through the decades by providing kids a taste of the working world and the skills needed to join it.
"It's a real world interpretation of what it takes to be successful," ROP principal Richard Crane said. "They're producing things here that people are paid for in the real world."
Up to 1,800 students -- split evenly between juniors and seniors at Rancho Buena Vista and Vista high schools -- join the program every school year, Crane said.
"There's a heavy demand for our courses," Crane said. "For some, there are waiting lists."
The classes offered are varied and pique the interests of aspiring auto mechanics, Web designers, landscape artists and future CEOs. Classes are held on the high school campuses and are limited to juniors and seniors.
Instead of listening to lengthy lectures, reading books and taking tests, ROP students are learning skills that relate directly to industries they'd like to pursue as careers. Assignments are due on deadline and projects are assigned to teams -- just like the real world does it.
"It's really more about survival skills for the future," said Natalie White, 16, a junior at Rancho Buena Vista. "It's really honest. You can't slack off."
While automotive classes have been a longtime favorite among the guys, these days any classes related to computers and programming are sure to be filled with boys and girls.
ROP even partners with technology giants Oracle and Cisco to offer classes that teach industry insights, giving students a technical edge when seeking employment.
Vista ROP runs on an annual $2 million budget funded by state, Crane said.
"It swells and sways," he said.
Different type of student
High school students set on attending college may not find ROP classes a good fit. ROP classes are electives, taken by choice, and held on the high school campuses at the same time as other academic classes.
Most college-bound students struggle to make sure they've earned enough academic credits in math, science and English. Often there's no room in their schedules for something extra, like graphic arts or Web-page design.
"This could be great for those who are not interested in a four-year college," Crane said. "Here they can develop work skills, leave high school and find employment that leads somewhere."
Fraser Lovat, 17, is a Rancho Buena Vista senior who has taken a couple of computer-related ROP classes, including the Oracle Internet Academy.
During a recent graphic arts class, Lovat spent the period working with the design program PhotoShop to create and color a cartoon character to be used for a brochure.
Lovat isn't sure if he'll go straight to college or find a job after graduation, but he says this graphic arts class will pay off with whatever path he chooses.
"If you get good at this type of stuff, you can make a lot of money," he said. "It'll look good on your resume, if not help you with your future."

Is Wikipedia Distributing Child Pornography?
A co-founder of the Wikipedia online encyclopedia is accusing the website of knowingly posting pornographic cartoons or illustrations of underage children.
In a letter written to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) earlier this month, Larry Sanger, who helped create Wikipedia but left the organization in 2002, specifically mentioned two entries–'pedophilia' and 'lolicon'–in the Wikipedia Commons section of the encyclopedia that are filled with at least 25 different explicit drawings of underage children engaging in sexual acts. According to FoxNews.com, Sanger told the FBI that he believes the entries violate federal obscenity laws.
"I wasn't shocked that it was online, but I was shocked that it was on a Wikimedia Foundation site that purports to be a reference site," Sanger told Jana Winters of Fox News on Tuesday.
"I think a lot of teachers and education technologists responsible for the filters at public schools don't realize how much and what level of pornography there is in the system," he added. "I'm quite sure that if they knew there were pages devoted to pedophilia, it might make them think twice about giving students unrestricted access in schools."
Sanger, who now works with educational websites, told Winters that he originally started searching for explicit content on Wikipedia and its sister sites after learning from teachers that they were unaware Wikipedia could contain inappropriate content for students. He later learned that, under federal law, failing to report obscene content is a criminal offense, so he contacted the FBI.
On Wednesday, Sanger backed off of the "child pornography" charge, telling the AFP that it could be "misleading" and that "It didn't occur to me until afterward that many people restrict 'child pornography' to mean photographs of real children. If I had realized this sooner, I would have used 'depictions of child sexual abuse' instead."
Officials from the online encyclopedia are denying the accusations.
"Our community abhors issues around pornography and pedophilia and they don't want to provide opportunities for these things to take place," Wikipedia spokesman Jay Walsh told AFP on Wednesday. "We don't have material we would deem to be illegal. If we did, we would remove it."
Furthermore, in an online response, the Wikimedia Foundation–Wikipedia's parent company–emphasized that the organization "obeys the law" and that they had "not been contacted by the FBI or any other law-enforcement agency with regard to allegedly illegal content on any Wikimedia projects."
"Our community of volunteer editors takes action to remove illegal material when such material is brought to its attention," the statement continued. "If and when we are informed by law enforcement agencies of illegal content that has not already been removed through self-policing, we will take quick action to delete it."

WILMINGTON, Del. – With a sick relative and a son headed off to war, Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden has grounded his campaign for a few days.
Tales from the Trail
Bush gave him a ride anyway
ST. LOUIS – President George W. Bush gave Kenny Hulshof a ride on Air Force One to a fundraiser on Friday for the Republican congressman who just hours earlier had voted for a second time against the financial bailout package.
Amid inaction on financial bailout, blame game continues in McCain ad
PHOENIX – U.S. lawmakers have yet to back a plan to try and stem the global financial crisis. But the vigorous round of finger-pointing over who is to blame for it continued on the campaign trail on Tuesday as John McCain's camp singled out Democratic rival Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton in a new ad.
Hagel questions Palin experience
Sarah Palin has energized the Republican base since John McCain picked her as his vice-presidential running mate, but one prominent Republican is not impressed.
Obama defends community organizers
LANCASTER, Pa. - The work of community organizers, who work for low salaries to help people in impoverished communities, is getting lots of attention this week as Republicans poke jabs at Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama's job experience.
Media should back off Bristol Palin, Obama says
MONROE, Mich. – Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said on Monday the pregnancy of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's daughter was not relevant to the campaign and reporters should back off of it.
McCain's VP pick Palin draws boos when mentioning Hillary Clinton
WASHINGTON, Pa. – So maybe saying nice things about Hillary Clinton at a Republican rally isn't such a good idea.
John McCain's new vice presidential nominee, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, acknowledged the New York senator on Saturday when reflecting on her new found role as a national candidate.
The reaction from a large chunk of the audience: boos.
"I think as well today of two other women who came before me in national elections, and I can't begin this great effort without honoring the achievements of Geraldine Ferraro back in 1984 and of course, Senator Hillary Clinton," Palin said.
Boo. Boo. Boo.
So much for trying to win over disaffected Clinton supporters. They, apparently, are not turning up to McCain-Palin rallies.
But no matter. The Alaska governor breezed on with a nod to her own historic bid, in Clinton's wake.
"It was rightly noted in Denver this week that Hillary left 18 million cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling in America," she said. "But thankfully, as it turns out, the women of America aren't finished yet, and the voters will shatter that glass ceiling once and for all."
The McCain campaign has made a concerted effort to win over Clinton backers who were upset at her loss in the Democratic primary to Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
Palin's presence on the ticket puts the mother of five in line to make history as the first female U.S. vice president if she and McCain beat Obama and his running mate, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, in the Nov. 4 election.
Welcome to St. Paul!
"The Daily Show" has this welcome sign for Republican convention-goers in St. Paul, as posted on flickr:
Will Biden help Obama with the Catholic vote?
DALLAS – With Delaware Senator Joe Biden on the ticket, will Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama make inroads with wavering Catholics in the race for the White House?
In an election year that has seen both Obama's campaign and that of his Republican rival John McCain try to woo voters of various faiths it is sure to be a question that pundits will ask in coming days.
Obama on Saturday chose Biden, 65, as his vice presidential running mate, ending days of frenzied speculation.
Biden, originally from the battleground state of Pennsylvania, will bring not only foreign policy expertise to the ticket — he chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — but strong working-class roots and his Catholic faith.
Catholics had strongly supported Hillary Clinton in her failed bid for the Democratic nomination and a number of polls have shown a fairly close race among Catholics with Obama leading nationally by a small margin.
Conservative Catholics tend to line up with evangelicals on issues like abortion but there are also many liberal Catholics in America who like the Democratic Party on economic issues.
Almost one-quarter of U.S. adults are Catholic but their electoral clout is somewhat diluted by their distribution.
According to a June report by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University in Washington, nearly four in 10 U.S. Catholics reside in New York, California and Texas, none of which are closely contested. The first two are solidly Democratic and Texas is Republican.
The report said states "where the Catholic vote could make a real difference are Florida, Ohio and Louisiana."
Pennsylvania is widely seen as another battleground for the Catholic vote.
72 Candles and a Running Mate
WASHINGTON – Republican White House hopeful John McCain may unwrap a surprise of his own when he celebrates his birthday next week in the battleground state of Ohio.

It takes guts to edit out superstars Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan from a film, and that too a film which features newcomers in the lead.
But that's precisely what the makers of Fugly have done. They've decided to remove the big Yo Yo Honey Singh number featuring Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. The promotional number was meant to roll with the end-credits. Instead we now see Kiara Advani's character gazing reflectively into the serene landscape of Leh as the end-credits roll. Says the film producer Ashvini Yardi, "We took a conscious decision to remove the Salman-Akshay song as it did not jell with the film's ending. We feel it's important to be true to the theme and mood.In any case the song was meant for promotional purposes."
Promotional songs featuring superstars are often thrust at the end of our films. Recently Yo Yo Honey Singh's chartbuster Party with the bhootnath did not jell with the ending of Bhootnath Returns. The director decided to put the song halfway through as the end-credits rolled.

Last week, I received the following email from my old school: "The governors of Abingdon School have today, 24 November 2009, announced the appointment of the new head of Abingdon from September 2010. Please follow this link for more information." Then there was a weblink on which, I'm afraid to say, I didn't click.
"If they won't put the bloody name of the bloody headmaster in an email, then they can't expect me to take an interest!" I thought. I was having a bad day. "Exactly how interesting do they expect me to find the name of some, doubtless highly thought of, but to me almost certainly anonymous, private sector academic? I get emails promising to double the size of my cock and introduce me to Russian girls and I don't follow those links, so why should I waste valuable clicking seconds just to find out that 'Arthur P Geography is excited by the challenge of Abingdon after a very successful three years as deputy head in charge of pastoral hockey at St Hufflepuff College, Hampshire'?"
"That's told them – in my head," I thought and went off in search of a cat to kick. But it turns out the name would indeed have meant something to me, for it was none other than Miss Felicity Lusk. "Old flame, is she?" you might be thinking, if you don't know me. "You know you're getting old when the head of the school you went to is someone you've had sex with, eh?" Well, I suppose that's true of legal sex.
No, I don't know Felicity Lusk, but her name is only unremarkable if you consider Joan an unremarkable name. For a pope. The new headmaster of my old school, an all-boys' school, without even girls in the sixth form like some public schools have for the older boys to practise on, is a woman! What do you think about that, eh? Pretty interesting! Pretty radical!
It's probably more of a big deal for me, having spent five years there brimming with testosterone and self-doubt and finding the female sex so alluring and terrifying as to make the prospect of living in a world populated by three billion of them utterly exhausting. They say that power is a great aphrodisiac. For teenage boys, so is oxygen. It could get messy.
But it's an appointment that's almost certainly been made for the right reasons. All of the tell-tale signs of cowardly, defensive, anti-meritocratic decisions – and I work in TV and so witness those every day – are in this case absent. There are bound to have been gifted male candidates, and the governors would have had a quieter life if they'd appointed one of them, so I'm forced to the conclusion that Lusk was picked because they thought she was the best person for the job and institutional sexism be damned.
Hooray for that, basically. That makes me proud of the old place. It's not usually a pioneering school – it's middle of the road, middle of the price range, middle of the country, not that academic, not that sporty, its most famous alumnus is Francis Maude, you get the general idea – so its reasons for this departure from the norm, I'm pretty sure, will have been based on talent.
It's beguiling, that feeling of pride in an institution one used to be part of. It gives a fleeting sense of belonging, like a supportive message on Twitter or a maitre d' saying: "Good to see you again, sir." It momentarily makes me think about going to an old boys' reunion and consider the possibility that there's something more to a school than certain people and a certain time.
It's an illusion. I was probably as happy at Abingdon as I would have been anywhere at that hormonal point in my life, but since then the institution has had all of its constituent parts replaced more than once; it's not really my grandfather's axe any more. All that is meaningfully left of my experience there are the friends from that time with whom I'm still in touch.
Nothing shatters this illusion of community more quickly than the fees that my alma mater is now charging. For a dayboy, which is what I was, it's £13,380 a year – for a boarder twice that. That's nearly five times what it cost when I started there just over 20 years ago. And I'm not just being a curmudgeon, mourning the passing of the penny chew, because this hike is way ahead of inflation. Mars Bars, for example, do not now cost £1.50.
I realise this is true not just of Abingdon, but of all private schools and has been for a while – but I still don't understand it. Have their costs escalated? The only other commodities to have gone up at that rate are property and cigarettes and I can't imagine public schools needing to buy much of either. If teachers' salaries have quintupled, I missed it. Is there a sudden global shortage of drawing pins and chalk?
This price rise neutralises any affection I might have for the school because, quite simply, it's not for the likes of me any more. My parents were polytechnic lecturers in 1987 and could just about manage the fees. There is no way that the same is true of their modern equivalents. My old school is now accessible only to a fraction of the income groups that it used to be.
It's pretty dismal, I know, that it takes the exclusion of families like my own to bring home to me the iniquities that have always existed in the private education system and there's no reason why the state educated should give a damn about any of this. It's a quantitative, not a qualitative, change – but still surely a regrettable one.
Provincial minor public schools like Abingdon have stopped making the educational equivalent of a high-end but affordable family estate car and started turning out Bentleys. There must be a market for these more luxurious teaching services, as most private schools seem to be doing OK from their new business plan, but there's no escaping the fact that they've followed the market, not the need.
That's not how charities are supposed to behave.

Joss Whedon's 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' adds two new recruits
"S.H.I.E.L.D." has picked up two new recruits.
Iain De Caestecker and Elizabeth Henstridge are joining the Joss Whedon-directed pilot about the covert agency spun off from last summer's Marvel superhero smash "The Avengers."
They join "E.R." vet Ming-Na and Marvel movie universe regular Clark Gregg, who will somehow be reprising his role as Agent Coulson, last seen in "The Avengers."
Coulson, along with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), has represented S.H.I.E.L.D. in multiple Marvel movies, including the "Iron Man" films, "Thor" and "Captain America: The First Avenger."
The agency will likely continue to play a pivotal role to such upcoming Phase II films as "Iron Man 3," "Thor: The Dark World" and "Guardians of the Galaxy," so there's a chance that the stars of the show could pop up on the big screen.
The duo will both be a part of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s tech arm, with Henstridge playing Agent Gemma Simmons, while De Caestecker will play Agent Leo Fitz, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Whedon is also co-writing the pilot for Marvel TV and ABC TV Studios along with his brother Jed Whedon and sister-in-law Maurissa Tancharoen ("Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog").
Henstridge also starred in J.J. Abrams and Mark Schwahn's "Shelter" pilot, while De Caestecker starred in the BBC's BAFTA-winning "The Fades" and will soon be seen opposite James McAvoy in "Filth."

KOLKATA: Mohammedan Sporting returned to winning form as it beat George Telegraph by a solitary goal in a premier division encounter of the Calcutta Football League on Thursday.
Mike Okoro scored in the 82nd minute to give Sporting full three points and keep it in the title hunt.
The match, held under lights, was held up for 19 minutes owing to power failure in the Salt Lake Stadium. Mohammedan Sporting, which lost 0-2 in the previous encounter against East Bengal, struggled for most of the occasion against Telegraph. A moment of brilliance from Okoro saved the day for Mohammedan Sporting which has tallied 23 points from 11 matches.
This also helped Sporting tie league leader Mohun Bagan on points, but the latter has played a match less. — Principal Correspondent

The Price of the Ticket: Barack Obama and the Rise and Decline of Black Politics (Hardcover)
Fredrick Harris
Special Order
The historical significance of Barack Obama's triumph in the presidential election of 2008 scarcely requires comment. Yet it contains an irony: he won a victory as an African American only by denying that he should discuss issues that target the concerns of African Americans. Obama's very success, writes Fredrick Harris, exacted a heavy cost on black politics.
In The Price of the Ticket, Harris puts Obama's career in the context of decades of black activism, showing how his election undermined the very movement that made it possible. The path to his presidency began just before passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, when black leaders began to discuss strategies to make the most of their new access to the ballot. Some argued that black voters should organize into a cohesive, independent bloc to promote both targeted and universal polices; others urged a more race-neutral approach, working together with other racial minorities as well as like-minded whites. This has been the fundamental divide within black politics ever since. At first, the gap did not seem serious. But the post-civil-rights era has accelerated a shift towards race-neutral politics. Obama made a point of distancing himself from older race-conscious black leaders, such as Jesse Jackson- and leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus-even though, as Harris shows, he owes much to Jackson's earlier campaigns for the White House. Unquestionably Obama's approach won support among whites, but Harris finds the results troublesome. The social problems targeted by an earlier generation of black politicians--racial disparities in income and education, stratospheric incarceration and unemployment rates--all persist, yet Obama's election, ironically, marginalized those issues, keeping them off the political agenda. Meanwhile, the civil-rights movement's militancy to attack the vestiges of racial inequality is fading.
Written by one of America's leading scholars of race and politics, The Price of the Ticket will reshape our understanding of the rise of Barack Obama and the decline of a politics dedicated to challenging racial inequality head on.

TUESDAY, June 12 (HealthDay News) -- Infants delivered by Cesarean section are three times more likely than babies delivered vaginally to fail their first hearing test, which is performed shortly after birth, new research from Israel finds.
However, the researchers noted that parents should be aware of this difference, but not alarmed, because this hearing "problem" is typically temporary.
Dr. Tatiana Smolkin, a neonatal researcher at Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, Israel, who worked on the study, said the loss generally disappears after 72 hours.
"Fluids are retained in the middle ear," which seems to affect neonatal hearing, she explained.
U.S. experts agreed that parents should take the information in stride.
"I think the take-home message is if you have had a C-section be prepared there is a higher chance your baby is going to fail one of these hearing tests, whether or not they have a hearing loss," said Dr. Richard Rosenfeld, chair of otolaryngology at SUNY Downstate, in Brooklyn, N.Y. He co-chaired the committee that crafted the American Academy of Pediatrics' guidelines on the management of the middle ear problem known as otitis media with effusion.
Dr. Dennis Woo, a pediatrician at the University of California, Los Angeles, Medical Center in Santa Monica, said the problem is often transient, and if the testing were done three or four days after birth, the results would likely be very different.
"There is nothing worrisome here as far as for the parents," Woo said.
To be sure, parents need to follow up with the baby's pediatrician, the doctors agreed.
For the study, the Israeli researchers evaluated 1,653 newborns. Of these, 1,170 were delivered vaginally; the other 483 by C-section.
They looked at the babies' results on their first hearing test, known as the otoacoustic emissions test.
Otoacoustic emissions are sound

There will be an an LA Galaxy connection on the Brazil squad named for their upcoming matches against Colombia on Sept. 6 and Ecuador on Sept. 9.
Ricardo Goulart, the younger brother of Galaxy midfielder Juninho, was named to the 22-man squad for the U.S. based friendlies on Tuesday. The September games will be the first for the Selecao under new head coach Dunga and the first since the South American nation was unceremoniously dispatched from the 2014 FIFA World Cup with a devastating 7-1 defeat to eventual champions Germany on home soil.
Goulart, 23, plays for Brazilian club Cruizero and is current goal scoring leader in the Brazilian Serie A with eight goals for the Belo Horizonte based club.
"My family and I are very happy that my brother has been called into the national team," Juninho told LA Galaxy Insider on Tuesday. "I've been with him throughout his career and it's such an honor to see him represent our country. I hope that this is the start of a long career for Brazil for my brother."
The LA Galaxy will be giving away a special edition tin lunchbox to the first 15,000 fans on Saturday when the club takes on Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
The old timey lunch box features Galaxy players of yesteryear and today including Cobi Jones, Mauricio Cienfuegos, Omar Gonzalez and Robbie Keane. Emblazoned on both sides is the bridge between the two eras in Galaxy history: Landon Donovan.
Check out a vine of the box below.
On this day in LA Galaxy history just six years ago, Bruce Arena was hired to be the Galaxy's head coach and general manager, forever changing the club's history.
The now 62-year-old Arena was hired amid a tumultuous 2008 campaign for the manager and his current team as the Galaxy as the team limped out of the gate with a 6-8-6 record under Ruud Guillit and interim head coach Cobi Jones before the former U.S national team head coach took the reins. Immediately after taking the helm, Arena's Galaxy went 8-13-9 to finish second to last in the Western Conference, but the club reached the Superliga final before falling to Mexican side Pachuca in penalties.
By the 2009 campaign, Arena had reshaped the Galaxy by drafting Omar Gonzalez and A.J. DeLaGarza and acquiring goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts who all helped lead the team to the MLS Cup final where they fell in penalties to Real Salt Lake. For Arena's role in reshaping the Galaxy from laughingstock to MLS Cup contender, the LA boss was awarded the MLS Coach of the Year Award.
Since that 2009 season, the Galaxy have won two MLS Cups, two Supporters' Shields and reached the Western Conference Final each year except two with Arena at the helm. During his time with the Galaxy, Arena has gone 91-51-51 in regular season play and 13-4-2 in the postseason as well as 2-1 in MLS Cup matches.
Arena's success with the Galaxy has helped bolster the legacy of a head coach that is already widely considered the best American coach ever. Overall, Arena has a 60 percent winning percentage in 331 games coached which is the highest winning percentage among coaches with 50 or more games coached. The Galaxy boss' 72.5 percent winning percentage in the postseason is also a league record.
In terms of total regular season wins, Arena is second in MLS history with 168 victories which is behind only Seattle Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid. But despite being second in regular season victories, Arena is first all-time in playoff victories which 27 which is four better than Schmid's mark.
Interesting side note, Arena is fourth in all-time career winning percentage among MLS head coaches to have ever coached in the league. Tied for first is former Galaxy assistant Ralph Perez who won his only game as a head coach when Los Angeles defeated the San Jose Earthquakes 1-0 in June 1999.
With Robbie Rogers on the mend, left back Todd Dunivant aiming to return to the LA Galaxy starting lineup
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Veteran left back Todd Dunivant made his first MLS appearance since April during the LA Galaxy's 4-1 defeat to the Columbus Crew last Saturday and now he may be in line to start Wednesday's clash with the Colorado Rapids.
Incumbent left back Robbie Rogers started the match against the Crew despite suffering a quadriceps injury earlier in the week, but was forced to exit the defeat midway through the second half. After Rogers' injury, the Galaxy switched to a 3-5-2 formation as they looked to erase a one goal deficit, but after falling behind 4-1 in the 84th minute, Dunivant was inserted into the match.
The minutes were the first for Dunivant since the left back suffered an abdominal tear in April. Dunivant has been in full training since early August and recently went nearly 80 minutes for LA Galaxy II on Aug. 9.
"It wasn't the best circumstances [to return] because we're down three goals, but it was great to get back on the field and get some minutes," Dunivant told LA Galaxy Insider at training at Ohio State on Monday. "It's not easy as a defender to get minutes because there's not a lot of circumstances where it makes sense to insert a defender so I was happy to be on the field, but it would have been nice if the score was the other way around."
With Rogers admittedly "day to day," Dunivant may have a chance to make his first start against the Rapids on Wednesday where the Colorado native is expected to have more than 80 friends and family in attendance.
Although the 33-year-old admits that he'd be overjoyed to return to the field, he knows the decision will ultimately be made by head coach Bruce Arena.
"It's a great opportunity, but we'll see what Bruce decides. I'm definitely ready to go and I'm anxious to get back on the field," said Dunivant. "We've been on a great run and I want to be able to contribute to that."
If both players are healthy, who should get the start at left back: Todd Dunivant or Robbie Rogers?

Gyasi Zardes is up for MLSsoccer.com's Goal of the Week after his stellar strike in the LA Galaxy's 4-1 defeat to the Columbus Crew last Saturday.
The goal came in the 49th minute of LA's defeat as Zardes volleyed a Dan Gargan cross into the back of the net for his 10th goal of the season. Zardes now has goals in his last four matches and nine in his last 10 games.
LA Galaxy II are heading to the postseason for the first time in club history.
The Galaxy USL PRO affiliate clinched a playoff berth on Saturday with a 1-0 victory over OKC Energy FC. Center back Daniel Steres notched a header in the first half to seal the win for Los Dos over the Sporting Kansas City affiliate.
With the win, Galaxy II now have 43 points in their inaugural campaign which will assure Los Dos of a postseason berth in their inaugural season.
A.J. DeLaGarza insists that staying on the road could benefit the LA Galaxy as they look to overcome Crew loss
COLUMBUS, Ohio— Typically after a road match, the LA Galaxy immediately return to Southern California, but this time around the script has been flipped.
The Galaxy fell 4-1 to the Columbus Crew on Saturday in their worst defeat of the 2014 regular season. LA suffered their biggest margin of defeat, but rather than fly cross-country to return home, the club will remain in Columbus for two days before heading to Colorado for Wednesday's clash with the Rapids.
Following the team's crushing defeat, there was understandable concern that the loss may put a damper on the Galaxy's week-long road trip, but defender A.J. DeLaGarza insists that the opposite is true.
"We can't let this loss linger. We have a game in a couple of days and it might be good for us all to be together. We get to all go through this together and not just head home [separately]," he said. "We're going to go have dinner together and do whatever we can to get the morale back up so that we don't let this game affect us for the rest of the season."
Galaxy captain Robbie Keane agreed that LA will need to put the loss behind them quickly ahead of Wednesday's match at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
"The good thing about the season is that there is always a game around the corner," Keane said. "We have a game on Wednesday and have to pick ourselves up fairly quickly…let's see what we're made of [against the Rapids]."
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The LA Galaxy suffered their worst defeat of the season, but the club received a silver lining as Gyasi Zardes continued his torrid scoring streak.
Zardes scored in the 49th minute of the Galaxy's 4-1 defeat to the Columbus Crew to bring his goal total to 10 on the season. The 22-year-old second-year forward has now scored in four straight matches to go with nine goals in his last 10 games.
"It's my teammates, definitely. It's not just me," Zardes said of his scoring streak after the match. "It's the whole combination of play and when we combine I just make that hard run into the box and my teammates just put it right there on my foot and I just put it on frame."
Despite adding to his scoring goal run, Zardes was unlucky not to add a second in the 83rd minute. With the Galaxy down 3-1, Zardes was unable to get to a Robbie Keane pass that had the forward alone in front of an empty net.
"There were various times in the game when we had opportunities," Zardes said. "The only difference is they put away their opportunities as opposed to us."
Although Zardes kept up his scoring streak, don't expect him to celebrate or dwell on the defeat to the Crew—he's already set his sights on Wednesday's match against the Colorado Rapids.
"We are definitely forgetting about this game and just working hard to prepare for Wednesday," said Zardes.
Robbie Rogers says he's "day to day" after quad injury forces him from LA Galaxy defeat to Columbus Crew
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- It's safe to say that this wasn't the Ohio homecoming that Robbie Rogers was expecting.
In his first match against his former club, Rogers was forced to exit in the 64th minute as the Galaxy fell 4-1 in their worst loss of the MLS season. Feeling the effects of a quad injury that he suffered in training on Wednesday, Rogers was forced to leave midway through the second half which led the Galaxy to play three defenders in the back, a move that ultimately resulted in two unanswered goals by Columbus.
"I felt good in the first half, but in the second half I couldn't play anymore," Rogers said. "I couldn't move. It's kind of why I was just sitting back," said I had to go out. I tried to play through that injury. It was effecting too much of the way I was playing. I couldn't cover ground so I had to take myself out, unfortunately."
Rogers referred his injury status as "day to day" and noted that it is not expected to be a long term thing as he looks to recover in time for Wednesday's match against the Colorado Rapids.
But even though he's hopeful that he can return Wednesday, Rogers was frustrated about his return to Ohio.
"It's a 4-1 loss. I don't think we matched their intensity. I don't think we stepped to press the ball. I don't think we finished our chances when we created them," he said. "Overall, it's a really disappointing night because I came back here and obviously you want to beat your friends. I was really disappointed."
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The LA Galaxy fell 4-1 to the Columbus Crew on Saturday evening.
Following the match, LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena addressed reporters.
His thoughts are below.
(On the Crew's performance in the victory...)
ARENA: "[Federico] Higuain had a very good game tonight. His passing was good and their movement was good. In the first half, they clearly out played us and their passing and finishing was better on the night. There were a lot of goals for us tonight, but our passing and finishing was poor. We had opportunities to do a better job getting around the goal and we didn't do it. A lot of the basics, we got beat on tonight. Give them credit."
(On Gyasi Zardes' goal...)
ARENA: "We're going to have a party once we get back to the hotel. No, give him credit, it was a good goal and he probably should have had another one."
(On facing Gregg Berhalter...)
ARENA: "He did a great job. He has a great future in the coaching profession."
(On the Crew honoring Landon...)
ARENA: "I think it is very nice. Landon has had a great career and to be recognized in these markets we go into, it is tremendous. Hopefully, the results don't all end up like they did tonight, but It was a tremendous gesture on behalf of the Crew. We are very grateful for that."
(On if the pregame ceremony was a distraction...)
ARENA: "It's going to be happening every time. It certainly looked distracting tonight."
(On Clark's performance...)
ARENA: "He played well and made some big saves. Our finishing was pretty poor and I remember two or three good saves on Robbie [Keane]. On the night, we were pretty poor on finishing. To his credit, the goal he conceded was a very good finish. He was pretty solid. It was a good game."
On if he was surprised by the Crew's performance:
I think they are better commenting on it than I am. They probably played their best game of the year. They played very well. You have to give them a lot of credit. We knew it would be a good game. I kind of liked the game that I saw. I thought it was a game that was perfectly suited for our team, but we came up short.

National League Preview from The Sports Network
Tuesday, June 17 (All times Eastern)
Chicago Cubs (29-39) at Miami Marlins (35-34), 7:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Chicago - Jeff Samardzija (2-6, 2.77) Miami - Anthony DeSclafani (1-1, 5.56)
(SportsNetwork.com) - Rookie Anthony DeSclafani takes the mound opposite veteran Jeff Samardzija on Tuesday night when the Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins continue their three-game set at Marlins Park.
Samardzija was tagged for a season-high nine hits against Pittsburgh on Thursday, as he yielded four earned runs over six innings to go along with seven strikeouts and two walks.
The right-hander ranks among the National League leaders with a 2.77 ERA on the season but with only a 2-6 record to show for it. In his last outing, the offense was shut out for the fifth time among Samardzija's 14 starts. The Cubs were hitless in eight at-bats with runners in scoring position in that 4-0 loss to Pittsburgh.
"That's obviously not what you want to happen," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said of the run production. "It's kind of a coincidence when Jeff's throwing."
Meanwhile, Miami made a couple of moves to shake up its pitching rotation with the team just a game off the pace in the wide-open NL East. DeSclafani was called up from Triple-A New Orleans to replace Jacob Turner, who was sent to the bullpen. It is the second big league stint for DeSclafani, who was promoted from Double-A Jacksonville back in May and made two starts in place of injured 2013 NL Rookie of the Year Jose Fernandez before getting sent back down.
With Miami's rotation sporting a 6.55 ERA since June 5, the organization decided it was time to bring DeSclafani back up to the big team. The Marlins also called up top prospect Andrew Heaney to take the rotation spot of Randy Wolf, who was designated for assignment on Monday.
"We're trying to win," president of baseball operations Michael Hill said. "(DeSclafani and Heaney) are a part of what we're trying to do here. We felt like bringing the young pitchers in ... this was the time. Hopefully, they will help us win games."
Chicago claimed a 5-4 extra-innings victory in Monday's series opener. Playing the unlikely role of hero with a two-out RBI single in the 13th was Travis Wood, who threw eight shutout innings the previous day.
"Any time you're grinding it out and everybody's running out of pitchers and everybody is running out of players, to pull it out is outstanding," Wood said.
Starlin Castro notched his 10th homer of the season for Chicago. Castro boasts a 1.192 OPS over his last 10 games.
For Miami, Giancarlo Stanton hit home run No. 19 and Casey McGehee continued his hot streak with two singles and three walks. McGehee is batting .452 in his last 10 games and has hit safely in 11 straight.
Chicago won two of three against the Marlins at Wrigley Field earlier this month. Samardzija earned one of those victories on June 7, when he allowed two runs over seven innings.

R.I.P. 'Big Man': Clarence Clemons in his own words
Our appreciation includes vintage interview with the late sax star
In each interview, this gentle giant spoke thoughtfully and candidly. He combined the charisma of a rock star and the earthiness of the everyday guy he was.
Below is our second interview with Clemons, which ran Dec 13, 1989. Its headline, appropriately, was:
The Boss and the Big Man
From 1971 to 1984 they were virtually inseparable -- rock 'n' roll brothers in arms who provided a musical and visual focal point for the millions of pop fans around the world who bopped and hopped to the sound of New Jersey's Big Boss beat.
But two months ago, with a new decade looming, Bruce Springsteen decided he didn't want to be the Boss any longer. With little fanfare, but much fan despair, he shelved his fabled E Street Band. By doing so, he also bid farewell to his longtime instrumental foil, Clarence Clemons, whose Big Man monicker stemmed as much from the enormous sound he gets from his saxophone as it did from his imposing physical stature.
"I'm pretty excited now that I have this freedom," said Clemons, who performs tomorrow night at the Bacchanal with his band, the Red Bank Rockers.
"Before, I was waiting in limbo for Bruce. But now that he's made his decision to go ahead without the E Street Band, I can go ahead, which is really liberating."
Just how liberating remains a matter of conjecture among Springsteen's fans and music industry insiders.
Rather than confirm the permanent dissolution of the E Street Band, Springsteen's management and record company have danced around the issue by describing the split as a hiatus of an indefinite nature. Not so, counters Clemons.
" `Hiatus of an indefinite nature' means there is no band!" he sputtered, speaking by phone from his Marin County home. "That's how I think of it: We have no more E Street Band. Bruce might decide to take the band out again, and I hope everybody will be available. But everybody isn't going to sit around waiting. I have two sons to put through college."
Was Clemons surprised by Springsteen's decision?
"I guess I was," he said. "But I moved from New Jersey to the West Coast three years ago, and -- at least subconsciously -- that was the beginning (of the split). I've talked to a couple of the E Street guys, but we're not as close as we used to be. Even when I lived in New Jersey, we came together for one reason only, and that was the band."
In fact, the split between the Big Man and the Boss was apparent as far back as 1983, when Springsteen recorded many of the songs that would appear on his enormously successful 1984 album, "Born in the USA." Both the album and the tour that followed established Springsteen as a mega-star whose generation-crossing popularity inspired Ronald Reagan to appropriate "Born in the USA's" title track for his presidential re-election campaign.
Less noted at the time was the fact that the album and tour found Clemons unexpectedly relegated to a minor role in the increasingly bland E Street Band. During a conversation last August in Toronto, where he was on tour Ringo Starr's All Starr Band, the friendly saxophonist acknowledged that his contributions to the E Street Band had been substantially reduced.

Staff Reporter
NIZAMABAD: The Congress party's credibility will increase among the people of Telangana only when it fulfils the promise it made over separate Telangana during the last general elections. Fielding a barrage of questions from mediapersons at Meet the Press programme conducted by the Press Club of Nizamabad here on Saturday, MP and AICC secretary Madhu Goud Yashki, said he has been making all out efforts to prevail upon the party high command to take a favourable decision on Telangana. "However, the elements which have been working against Telangna are powerful and unless all forces advocating separate Statehood get united the dream cannot come true ", he deplored.
Mr. Madhu Goud, said that as long as he continued in politics he would do a few good things for people", he said.
Asked as to whether he would quit his AICC secretary post if the high command did not announce its decision in favour of Telangana, he said resignations were not solution for achieving the goal. He hastened to add that there would be some impact of resignations of TRS legislators in the elections.
Press Club president J. Ganesh presided.
