St. Edward's Students Cover Austin Entertainment in Journalism Class
This fall, nine students enrolled in Entertainment Journalism at St. Edward's University and began giving their perspective on everything from Austin happenings and artisan foods to technology philosophy through blogging.
Taught by Michael Barnes, former entertainment editor for the Austin American-Statesman, the Entertainment Journalism class is a writing and discussion-based course on blogging, criticism, short- and long-form feature writing and celebrity journalism.
Barnes has a doctorate in theater history and criticism, and is on the Austin social scene every day reporting for Out & About and other larger stories about how Austinites live. He attends dozens of events each week and brings his expertise and real-life experiences to the classroom. He teaches entertainment journalism every fall semester at St. Edward's. Enjoy nine student blogs from his class:
Lucas Ayoub '12, a Communication major, has Lukebox, a blog devoted to the world of entertainment, mostly for Austin, Texas, the Live Music Capital of the World.
Rebecca Butler '12, an English Writing and Rhetoric major, has Rebecca Redd, a blog focused on Austin entertainment, but also discusses music, movies and fashion from around the world.
John Langston '12, a Communication major, has TexasTechno, a blog focused on tech philosophy and all things digital.
Ian Peoples '13, a Communication major, has Keeping it Easy, a blog about keeping things simple.

A Tree which stands in a Lake District wood is the tallest in Cumbria and could be the largest in the North West.
The 57.8-metre giant grand fir in Skelghyll Wood, Ambleside, has also been recorded as the tallest of its species in England, breaking the previous Cumbrian record of 55 metres, which was held by a conifer at Thirlmere.
National Trust ranger John Pring got the idea to get the tree measured and recorded by the National Tree Register charity when driving through Ambleside.
He said: "I've driven on that main road (A591) in Ambleside for a long time and I just thought: 'That really is a very big tree, I wonder how big it is? We were surprised just how tall it was when we measured it. There are some very big trees in the area but we didn't realise how tall it actually was. This is just one of the thousands of big old trees the National Trust looks after in the area."
Mr Pring, who has covered Windermere and Ambleside for 20 years, is now encouraging nature lovers to go to Skelghyll Wood and see the true scale of how tall the trees are for themselves and the grand fir, which was planted in 1860, looks set to continue growing and could push the 60-metre mark unless there are any accidents such as a storm blowing it over.
The tree was measured by tree climbers Mark Sigrift and Mick Lupton of Aspen Tree Management in Witherslack by dropping a long tape measure and using a badminton pole to attach a tape measure. "It just shows that the tree is happy with the climate there," said Mr Pring. It's only 160 years old so it is still growing."
SPACE pirate and alien life forms could soon be seen zooming around the Lake District – thanks to a new million dollar movie.
Old Hutton writer and director Rick McLeod has teamed up with a group of American producers to make a science fiction film based on cult television series Firefly.
The US consortium, one of whom has done sound-tracks for Mr McLeod in the past, originally began filming experimental sequences in county – but then the idea turned into a feature-length film.
Although $1 million is a relatively small budget for a movie, Mr McLeod said he was 'shocked' when the group gave the figure.
"Last year was a good one for us – we're still reeling from that – so when they approached me my first question was 'Are you serious?'
"It's not easy to make films in Cumbria, especially with the UK Film Council gone. When we had Leslie Grantham here, he was unpaid because he loved the script.
"It's great to know that our hard work is starting to pay off."
The film, called Lost Transmission, follows the lonely adventure of Blake, captain of a mining ship, with no-one but his computer to talk to after war breaks out on Earth. But he leaves the planet to find life on other worlds.
Filming is expected to start in early 2012, and will be split between Cumbria and America.
CGI effects are already being worked on by the studio, which created a castle in the middle of Windermere in a previous flick.
Before filming begins in earnest, Mr McLeod is shooting a short promotional video with action sequences in Old Hutton.
And he is looking for '23rd century pirates' to star as extras in a fight scene on Sunday, to be led by a trained fight choreographer.
"We're seeking punks, goths and heavy rockers. Long or short hair, tattoos and piercings are a bonus but not essential. The more outrageous the look the better," said Mr McLeod.
Filming will last for between two and three hours and anyone interested can email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Participants are requested to send a head shot with their email.
Discussions with actors to play the role of Blake are still going on.

Does Illegal Immigration Explain the Disconnect Between Jobs and Wages?
After seven years of "recovery," the jobs picture is finally beginning to brighten a bit. Last month's jobs number, 280,000, was relatively good. But economists are puzzled: if hiring is picking up, why are wages and GDP stagnant, or even shrinking? At ZeroHedge, the pseudonymous Tyler Durden proposes an answer. It begins with the fact that nearly all job gains have gone to immigrants: There were other curiosities: the vast »
All Job Growth Since 2007 Has Gone to Foreign-Born Workers
With the latest jobs report published, Senate Budget Committee staff have updated their analysis of job creation and population growth. They start their analysis in December 2007, when the last recession began. This is their conclusion: There are two tables underneath – one showing foreign-born employment, the other showing US-born employment. What it shows is astonishing: foreign employment in the U.S. rose by 1.7 million, while the employment of U.S.-born »
The Big Lie On Unemployment
The administration is crowing over the fact that the unemployment rate has finally fallen, after six years, to 5.6%–not even a good number, by historic standards. But almost everyone understands that the reality is quite different, in part because the rate has dropped largely on account of people giving up, dropping out of the labor force, going on disability, and so on. But one question I have never seen answered »
Where Did the Jobs Go?
Somewhat remarkably, given that it has presided over the worst recovery–by far–of the post-war era, the Obama administration tries to slice and dice employment numbers to portray itself as a champion of job creation. There are, indeed, a few more jobs today than there were six years ago. Yet for most Americans, the employment scene has gotten worse, not better. Why is that? Senate Budget Committee staff offer data in »
Will Yesterday's Jobs Report Boost Democrats?
Democrats are touting yesterday's jobs report–248,000 net new jobs were added in September, and the unemployment rate fell to 5.9%–as a victory for the administration that should improve the party's prospects in November. Thus, to cite just one example, President Obama boasted in a speech yesterday that by any measure, the economy today is better than when he took office. I should hope so! Obama took office shortly after the »
The Obama Economy, In Eleven Charts
Today the Republicans on the Senate Budget Committee put out a chart book that documents the Obama administration's failures in economic policy. From the introduction: The great economic tragedy of our time is the erosion of the American middle class. Millions of Americans find themselves locked out of the American Dream. Their wages are either flat or falling, even as the price of energy and goods surges; the labor force »
Let's Not Drive Down Wages With Immigration "Reform"
Today's jobs report was disappointing–only 142,000 jobs added, well below analysts' expectations; 60,000 workers left the labor force; June and July payroll estimates were revised downward; and 12% are either unemployed, or working part-time while seeking full-time employment. All of which raises, once again, the question why anyone would consider it a good idea to import tens of millions of new, unskilled and semi-skilled workers to compete with Americans who »
The Awful Jobs Picture: 6.2% Unemployment Is Only the Beginning
The Labor Department reported today that the economy added 209,000 jobs in July as the official unemployment rate rose to 6.2%. But, as Peter Morici explains, that dismal unemployment number only begins to tell the story: Adding in discouraged adults who say they would begin looking for work if conditions were better, those working part-time but say they want full time work, and the effects of immigration, the unemployment rate »
The scandal of part-time America
Mort Zuckerman, writing in the Wall Street Journal, notes the deceptive nature of the hype surrounding the June jobs report showing the addition of 288,000 jobs. In reality, full time jobs decreased by 523,000 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics — a shocking number that is obscured, but hardly offset, by the addition of 800,000 part time jobs. Following the release of the June report, President Obama proclaimed, "Make »
Today's Jobs Report: A Note of Caution
Today's jobs report was the best in a long time, thank goodness. But a friend on the Hill points out some facts that shed light on the broader issues that are still very much with us: Today's report shows increasing strength in the jobs market. June employment (according to the survey of businesses) rose by 288,000 jobs. The BLS revised their April jobs estimate from 282,000 to 304,000 and their »
The Disaster of Obamanomics, In Two Charts [Updated with more charts from Joe]
Apologists for the Obama administration sometimes argue that the nation's declining rate of labor force participation is largely a function of baby boomers retiring from the labor force. Unfortunately, this is not the case. This chart, prepared by the Senate Budget Committee, pretty much says it all. An unprecedented number of men–one in six–between the ages of 25 and 54, what should be their prime earning years, are either unemployed »
The Failure of Obamanomics In Three Charts
Democrats are spinning April's relatively good jobs numbers as a victory for the administration. The reality, however, is that the current recovery is the weakest of modern times, as economic growth, after more than five years of Democratic Party policies, stands at near zero. The Senate Budget Committee offers the following three charts, which show how the Obama administration's government-centric policies stack up against the Reagan administration's free enterprise approach, »
The United States of Disability
Barack Obama is often referred to as the Food Stamp President, but it may be even more appropriate to call him the Disability President. On his watch, the number of Americans living on Social Security disability benefits has skyrocketed to 11 million. Are Americans suddenly getting more sickly? No, they can't find jobs. One recourse for the long-term unemployed is to declare themselves permanently and totally disabled. Of course, those »
The real unemployment, cont'd
Walt Whitman famously observed to a friend in 1863 that "the real war will never get in the books." Whitman knew what he was talking about, so the proposition can't be discounted. But in the case of the Civil War, if the real war hasn't gotten into the books, it's not for lack of trying. Louis Masur even made a good book out of Whitman's challenge. I have Whitman's feeling »
How Bad Is the Economy? This Bad
I have often said that in order to understand how bad our economy truly is, you have to have children at an age where they and their friends are getting out of school and looking for jobs. After five years of ostensible recovery, the job situation is brutal for young people. This was confirmed once again by a study of recent Minnesota graduates that was covered in yesterday's Minneapolis Star »
More of the same in the latest jobs report
In January, the U.S. economy added only 113,000 jobs. Most forecasts were for job growth of closer to 200,000, which still would not have been all that impressive. On the other hand, the unemployment rate dropped slightly, from 6.7 to 6.6 percent. This has become the familiar pattern — anemic job growth coupled with very small decreases in the unemployment rate. Indeed, the theme of BLS's "Employment Situation Summary" is »
More On Today's Awful Jobs Numbers
Paul has already noted how weak the December jobs report was. This paper, released yesterday by the liberal Economic Policy Institute, includes several charts that provide a valuable overview on the Obama jobs disaster. This chart shows that if the workers who have dropped out of the labor force were still looking for work, the unemployment rate would be virtually unchanged since 2009: As of November, it would have required »

Okaloosa County is asking the Northwest Florida legislative delegation for more flexibility in how it spends bed tax money.
County commissioners specifically want more leeway in paying public safety and emergency responder costs incurred with the flood of tourists every year.
"We love the tourists coming here, don't get me wrong, but if the tourists can help pay for more of the services we provide, then why not?" Commission Chairman Don Amunds said Wednesday. "It helps everybody."
The county's 5 percent bed tax is levied on all short-term condominium, hotel and vacation home rentals in Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Okaloosa Island, Mary Esther and Cinco Bayou. The bulk of the tax is paid by out-of-town visitors.
Commissioners have sent a letter to the delegation asking lawmakers to clarify and consider expanding which tourism-related services can be funded with bed tax money.
Read the letter for yourself. >>
In its final report of the audit of the county's Tourist Development Council, the state Auditor General's Office questioned the county's use of bed tax money to pay for beach patrols and lifeguards.
County Administrator Jim Curry said the Auditor General's Office is requiring the county to have the question of bed tax funding for lifeguards "addressed legally" before it returns to evaluate the county's finances in 18 months.
"So what the board will have to do is either seek an attorney general opinion or file some type of friendly suit to have a legal determination on it," Curry said.
Commissioners say the funding of lifeguards and other beach safety personnel is vital to maintaining a healthy tourist industry.
"Tourism is incredibly important to our economy, but it also creates substantial seasonal stress on public infrastructure and services," Commissioner Nathan Boyles said.
Boyles said he would like to see beach safety and law enforcement "defined in statute as appropriate uses of bed tax monies." Infrastructure projects that directly benefit visitors, such as pedestrian walkovers, also should be included, he said.
"We want to follow the rules, we just need to know what the rules are," Boyles added.
Curry said using bed tax revenue to pay for more beach-related safety services could ease the strain on the county's general fund.
"Right now those services are being funded primarily through the general fund," he said. "That's your property taxes, your sales tax and so forth, and that's the fund the last six years we've struggled with in this economic downturn."
To illustrate their arguments for greater freedom in bed tax spending, commissioners sent the legislative delegation a copy of a recent report issued by the county's Public Safety Department.
According to the report, 94 percent of the 995 rescues on county beaches from 2010 to 2012 were visitors from outside the Emerald Coast. During the same two-year period, 91 percent of the almost 8.2 million people to visit Okaloosa's beaches were from out of the area.
The report also showed that 85 percent of the lifeguards' 307,636 "preventative actions" were made with tourists.
Tracey Vause, the county's beach safety director, said having the resources to fully cover the beach in the spring and summer is vital to the safety of tourists.
"We're constantly trying to share the message of what safe behavior is on the beach," he said. "It's an important component of what we do. ... The majority of the people who come here are tourists, so they're not as intimately aware of the hazards as locals would be."
Vause said he would like to have a larger pool of lifeguards.
"There benefits to having patrols and benefits to having (lifeguards) in stations," he said. "What I really would like to have is a little more flexibility so I could do one or the other. And more resources provides you with flexibility."

(Alexandria, VA) July15, 2011 – Former Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears NFL guard Ruben Brown will be making pit stops at Salvation Army programs across the country as part of the 11th annual Ruben Brown Motorcycle Run between July 15 and August 15. The 7,000 mile run will see Ruben riding and visiting nine major cities to raise awareness and funds for Salvation Army social service programs for youths and others in need. While on the road, Ruben will visit underprivileged kids, seniors and other clients of The Salvation Army as many Americans face continued economic challenges.
"Growing up in Salvation Army programs as a kid, I saw first-hand how people can have little or nothing at all, yet still have the opportunity to achieve something great," said Ruben Brown, who played in the National Football League for 13 seasons before founding the Ruben Brown Foundation. "It's more important than ever to help The Salvation Army raise awareness and needed funds so they can help as many people as possible."
The Motorcycle Run will be celebrated by Ruben, Salvation Army supporters and benefactors and motorcycle enthusiasts through a variety of events and activities at stops during the ride.
Ruben will kick-off the Ride by joining The Salvation Army, city officials and local business supporters in Buffalo, NY at 12pm ET on July 15 for hot dogs and ice cream, and group prayer before the send-off. Other cities where Ruben and others will rally in support of The Salvation Army include:
As a fundraiser for The Salvation Army youth programs, supporters of the Motorcycle Run can contribute a $10 gift via text message by texting the word "RUN" to 80888.*
In addition, supporters can give online at www.SalvationArmyUSA.org/RUN or www.RubensRun.com. Ninety percent of all funds donated will go to support the work of The Salvation Army; the remainder will subsidize transportation expenses associated with the Run. Donations will stay in the local community in which it was raised, helping The Salvation Army provide direct support to 30 million Americans each year through a variety of services including homeless shelters, food and meal programs and adult rehabilitation. Fans can follow Ruben's progress at www.facebook.com/rubenbrownf oundation and www.twitter.com/rubenbrownFNDN.
Nationwide, The Salvation Army has seen increases in demand from old and new clients, as well as decreased donations from supporters. A Salvation Army report, "Feeding the Need 2011," released earlier this year, found that 94 percent of Salvation Army food service programs saw an increase in requests for food assistance in 2010. At the same time, nearly 60 percent of Salvation Army programs saw donations remain flat or decline from all funding sources.
"Thanks to supporters like Ruben Brown who work tirelessly on behalf of The Salvation Army, we will continue to help families and individuals who have worked to overcome the recession," said Major George Hood, National Community Relations and Development Secretary for The Salvation Army. "The Motorcycle Run is a great opportunity for communities to look beyond the economy and focus on supporting our neighbors."
Partnering with the Ruben Brown Foundation and The Salvation Army along the way will be the Center for American Military Music Opportunities (CAMMO), whose mission is to provide music therapy centers for service members and veterans of all ages to help restore emotional and physical well being following grueling deployments. CAMMO's military musical artists will also be entertaining participants in select cities throughout the Run.
"During Ruben's Motorcycle Run, military artists will play and sing their hearts out to support Ruben and The Salvation Army. This is a great opportunity to highlight the importance of raising awareness and support for families, seniors, veterans and youths nationwide," said Cathie Lechareas, Co-Founder and Executive Director of CAMMO.
Since beginning the Motorcycle Run in 2001 in Buffalo, NY, Ruben has seen the event grow from a couple hundred riders, to a few thousand riders today. The Ruben Brown Motorcycle Run has become an increasingly popular event that has raised more than $500,000 for a number of charities including The Salvation Army, CAMMO, Dreams Take Flight, The Bo Henson Foundation, Buffalo Prep, Inner City youth football, Camp Good Days, The Community Foundation of Greater Buffalo and numerous high school and youth athletic programs.
The Ruben Brown Foundation is committed to raising funds for youth development organizations that focus on athletics, cultural, and educational programs - similar to those that were available to Ruben as a young child at The Salvation Army. More information about the Ruben Brown Motorcycle Run, The Salvation Army's service programs and CAMMO is available online at www.rubensrun.com, www.salvationarmyusa.org and www.cammomusic.org.
*A one-time donation of $10 will be billed to your mobile phone bill. Messaging and data rates may apply. Donations are collected for The Salvation Army by mobilecause.com. Reply STOP to 80888 to stop. Reply HELP to 80888 for help. For terms, see www.igfn.org/t.

text: So as most of you know, EWNCW and JBW are having a cross-fed war. This got me thinking, there are about 7 or so efeds here on EWN with EWNCW and JBW being top dogs and HWA, BWA, AR, AWF and EWA as the indy feds. There is a lot of talent between these efeds but there are some who are exclusive to a certain efed. Anyways i was think about who i'd like to see face of from different efeds for example Mark Dimension from EWNCW vs RedRum from JBW. So what about all of you. Who would you like to see cross over and take each other on?

I. Mr. Moore has been for many years a resident of Freeport. They were taken to Eastern Long Island Hospital, where Mr. Moore was treated for minor cuts on his hands and slight burns of the head. His son was treated • for third-degree burns of the hands, legs and arms. Both were released and returned to the actor's present home at 875 Fifth -avenue. New York. The blast, which occurred as Mr. Moore and his son were preparing for a fishing trip, threw the actor to the floor of the deck house and his son against a bulkhead in the engine room. It blew the top of the cruiser into the water and damaged parts of the machinery, but the craft stayed afloat.

He appeared in the motion picture "Boys Town" and also in the service production, "This Is the Army." Mr. Moore said later that he and his son "were lucky to be alive— it could have happened out. in the bay." He said he prized the cruiser but added the scare was enough to keep him off small boats for the rest of his life. The seventy-year-old comedian said he had loaned the cruiser, the Vicmore, to the Coast Guard during the war and that it had been returned to him eight months ago.

As reported in the New York Times, "At polling stations, teams working on the study were able to pick locks to access memory cards and use hand-held devices to plug false vote counts into machines. At boards of election, they were able to introduce malignant software into servers."
We learn that one of the companies whose machines had failed was none other than Hart Intercivic.
With television time to fill and no ability to declare a winner so that the long night's broadcast can be brought to a close, the staffs keep digging for relevant information to keep the attention of their viewers—and that is when it gets very real.
It turns out that Hart Intercivic is owned, in large part, by H.I.G. Capital—a large investment fund with billions of dollars under management—that was founded by a fellow named Tony Tamer. While is is unclear just how much H.I.G. owns of Hart Intercivic, we do learn that H.I.G. employees hold at least two of the five Hart Intercivic board seats.
Tony Tamer, H.I.G.'s founder, turns out to be a major bundler for the Mitt Romney campaign, along with three other directors of H.I.G. who are also big-time money raisers for Romney.
Indeed, as fate would have it, two of those directors—Douglas Berman and Brian Schwartz— were actually in attendance at the now infamous "47 percent" fundraiser in Boca Raton, Florida.
With that news, voters everywhere start to get this queasy feeling in the pits of their stomach.
But wait—if you're feeling a bit ill now, you'll want to get the anti-acids ready to go because it's about get really strange.

In the latest edition of View from the Booth, Cobi Jones and Joe Tutino analyze the LA Galaxy's clash with Real Salt Lake.
Check it out below.
CARSON, Calif. – The reports linking the LA Galaxy to Mexican international Giovani Dos Santos have been the main talking point across MLS over the last 24 hours.
On Wednesday, a report by ESPN Deportes stated that the Galaxy had offered an $8 million a year deal to the 24-year-old Dos Santos, who is still under contract with Spanish second division side Mallorca. The Los Angeles Times chimed in with their own piece on the rumors on Wednesday evening and linked LA's reported pursuit of the midfielder to the club's record television deal with Time Warner Cable.
Following LA's training session on Thursday, LA Galaxy head coach and general manager Bruce Arena addressed the report.
"We, as usual, don't comment on players until we sign them and...players under contract. You don't talk about players that are under contract," Arena told reporters.
LA midfielder Landon Donovan, who has plenty of battles with Dos Santos' Mexico while with the U.S. National team over the years, knows just how talented the dynamic attacking midfielder is.
"I think that he's a fantastic player," said Donovan. "Certainly, he's hurt us many times with the U.S. team as far as talent goes, there's not many players that I've played against that are that talented. We'll see what happens."
Donovan was quick to acknowledge that he's "heard a lot of rumors" during his time with the Galaxy, but he admits that signing a Mexican star could be very important to the Mexican community in Southern California.
"In this community, it would be really important," said Donovan. "It's been quite a while since this team has had a Mexican player, I think. It would be pretty cool, but let's not put the cart before the horse."
Thoughts on Arena and Donovan's comments? Do you think Giovani Dos Santos will suit up for the Galaxy?
Share your thoughts below.
The LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake are a pair of the premier club's in MLS and in the Western Conference, but their approaches to success are drastically different.
I took part in this "Point/Counterpoint" segment with RealSaltLake.com's Sam Stejskal on the approach that the two teams have.
LA Galaxy Insider Adam Serrano
ARGUMENT: LA may target stars, but aren't afraid to build from the ground up.
Yes, the LA Galaxy are the team of Robbie Keane, Landon Donovan, Omar Gonzalez, Robbie Rogers and, formerly, David Beckham. But if you think that the Galaxy are simply a team of glittering stars then you're missing the point.
All MLS teams, including LA and Real Salt Lake, operate within the same salary cap constraints and roster limitations, but it is how a team manages those rules that will prove how successful they are. RSL's prudent spending approach has worked for them, but Galaxy head coach and general manager Bruce Arena's own method is a tad more complicated, but just as balanced.
The Galaxy does boast two Designated Players in Keane and Donovan, and if reports are to be believed then they may be after a third in Mexican star Giovani Dos Santos. Signing talented marquee names has been a major pillar of the team's mission statement since the league's inception, but it doesn't stop there. LA's squad is also littered with young players as just eight of the club's 29 players are over the age of 25. At the forefront of this youth movement are LA's four Homegrown Players (Jack McBean, Jose Villarreal, Gyasi Zardes and Oscar Sorto), each of whom have made the game day roster this year.
Yes, investing in marquee names is important to the Galaxy as they look to stay at the forefront of the league, but as important to LA's master plan is developing the young talent rich soccer hotbed of Southern California. This season, the Galaxy have given significant opportunities to McBean, Villarreal, and Zardes, who in turn have shown flashes of the talent that may make them successful in the professional ranks.
This balance of youth and star power has been on full display this year as Arena has thrown most of his Homegrowns as well as his recent draft picks into action as LA look to win an unprecedented third straight MLS Cup. Whether or not this approach will pay dividends come the winter months remains to be seen, but LA's youngsters have already tasted success in 2013, after all, they did defeat RSL 2-0 during their last trip to Rio Tinto using a youth-laden lineup.
Will the Galaxy ever stop signing Designated Players or being linked with some of the game's biggest names? Not a chance. However, just as unlikely is LA's willingness to invest in young talent and polish a few hidden gems along the way.
After all, you need a complete squad to win a championship, not just few big names.
Sam Stejskal of RealSaltLake.com
ARGUMENT:RSL's model is more nuanced than LA's star-driven roster development
On Wednesday, a report surfaced that the LA Galaxy have offered 24-year-old Mexican national teamer Giovani Dos Santos an $8 million contract to sign with the team this summer.
Regardless whether or not that report is true – and there are signs that indicate it isn't – it's not hard to imagine the Galaxy offering Dos Santos that kind of dough. They've certainly splashed that sort of cash before – see David Beckham and Robbie Keane, amongst others – and giving that big money to Dos Santos would make sense. The Barcelona product is young, has an impressive pedigree and would be a big draw with the millions of Hispanic fans in Southern California.
The fact that a report like that is at least somewhat believable is a good marker of the different worlds that Real Salt Lake and the Galaxy operate in. Yes, both teams have won MLS Cups since 2009, both have been fixtures near the top of the Western Conference table over the last five years and both deal with the same salary cap and roster constraints as every other team in the league.
But you'd never see a report claiming that RSL offered Dos Santos – or anyone else, for that matter - $8 million to come to the Wasatch Front. For better or for worse, the Claret-and-Cobalt has to do things differently than the Galaxy. There's just not as much money to play with. In order for RSL to enjoy the sustained success it has since before it won the 2009 Cup, the technical staff has had to create and maintain an innovative – at least for MLS – tactical system. They've had to find diamonds in the rough in the domestic and international markets. And when Jason Kreis, Garth Lagerwey and Co. pays big money – though not "big" by LA's standards – for a player like Javier Morales or Alvaro Saborio, they can't afford to miss.
To be clear, both RSL's and LA's models work. The two teams have won three of the last four MLS Cups and one method isn't necessarily any better than the other. But one model – and I trust you know which one I'm talking about – does require a little bit more work, a little bit more thought and a whole lot less room for error.
Who do you agree with? Which approach is best?

In the latest edition of the "Galaxy All-Access Podcast" Joe Tutino speaks with myself and MLSsoccer.com's Scott French to give an early season assessment of the LA Galaxy. We touch on pleasant surprises on the team, disappointments, Designated Players, the CONCACAF Champions League, and a number of other topics in our discussion.
Check it out below.
CARSON, Calif. – There's no doubt that LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane is one of—if not the most—important player on his team.
The Irish forward has tallied five goals and four assists in just six matches so far this season. When Keane is the lineup, the Galaxy have scored 15 goals—five belong to Keane—and hold a 4-1-1 record,compared to a scant six tallies and a 2-4-1 record when he's unavailable.
Although the Galaxy clearly miss the Irish forward's production when he's away, LA head coach Bruce Arena says that there's simply no magic formula for replacing him.
"If you took LeBron James away from the Miami Heat, how do you think that they'd be? Those are the facts of life of sport. Good players make a difference. That's why we pay that player a lot of money," said Arena. "You don't swap a reserve for Robbie and if you have a way of doing that then I'd like for you to send me that formula. I'll go right to the lab and mix it up, and get it ready to go. Those are the facts of life."
On Saturday, the Galaxy will be without Keane yet again when LA travel to face Real Salt Lake. During their last visit to Rio Tinto Stadium, the Galaxy were without their Irish forward, but preserved as they smashed RSL 2-0 on April 27.
Despite not having Keane for a second straight match, LA midfielder Marcelo Sarvas admits that they'll simply have to move on and preform the job themselves.
"We cannot cry and we cannot think about this. He's not here. Omar [Gonzalez] is not here," said midfielder Marcelo Sarvas. "The guys that step on the field know that they must take the responsibility and it is their opportunity to show to the [coaching staff] that they can play.
"If you can't replace his technique then you can do another thing. You can fight," added Sarvas. "If you're not able to do the same things [as Keane] then you can find spaces and use your speed, fight, and help in the defense. Every player has their own characteristics."
CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena provided a brief update on the club's injury situation heading into this week's training prior to the team's match with Real Salt Lake on Saturday.
Just three players were listed on the club's injury report following LA's 5-0 defeat to the New England Revolution: Todd Dunivant (left quad strain), Leonardo (left ankle) and Jack McBean (fractured left clavicle).
"Jack is not clear yet. Todd is coming around. Leonardo is going to be a little bit," said Arena, who did not offer a timeline on Leonardo's status.
As for whether or not Dunivant could be available for this weekend's game against RSL, Arena did not rule the defender out of action.
"Possibly," said Arena. "It's possible. We'll see."
Could the LA Galaxy be searching south of the border for their third Designated Player? According to a report by ESPN Deportes' Tomas Colombo, the producer of the radio show Jorge Ramos y su Banda, the Galaxy have offered a contract to 24-year-old Mexican international Giovani Dos Santos.
According to the report, the Galaxy have offered a deal to Dos Santos, who signed a four year contract with Mallorca last summer. However, the report states that the Galaxy aren't the only team interested in the services of the Mexican midfielder as Spanish giants Valencia as well as Mexican club Queretaro have tendered offers.
Whether or not there is any validity in these reports remains to be seen, but when asked about the club's pursuit of Designated Players by LA Galaxy Insider last month, club President Chris Klein stated that the team is looking for the right fit.
"We'll continue to be aggressive in the Designated Player market and if someone comes along and it fits us and fits what we need then we'll be aggressive in pursuing that," said Klein.
What do you think about this rumor? Think it has a chance of happening? Could Dos Santos help the Galaxy?

The LA Galaxy have logged some heavy miles over the last few weeks.
Over their last five games in all competitions, LA has played just one match on the west coast with the rest taking place on the East Coast. LA's most recent trip out east ended in two defeats as the Galaxy fell 2-0 to the Carolina RailHawks in U.S. Open Cup play last Wednesday before dropping a 5-0 result to the New England Revolution
In fact, during their three trips to the east coast this season, the Galaxy are 1-3-1 in all competitions. The team's lone win in the Eastern Time Zone came on May 15 when they demolished the Philadelphia Union 4-1. LA will not travel out east again until August when they visit Miami, Florida for the Guinness International Champions Cup and then again in September for a league match against D.C. United on Sept. 15.
"It's tough. Going to the west and playing a game then coming to the east and playing a game," DeLaGarza told LA Galaxy Insider. I put money on it that the one that does the travel probably loses the games. It is part of playing in the U.S. it's a big ass country and travel is part of it."
The eastern travel over for the moment, LA forward Landon Donovan is eager to turn the page.
"This was a tough week for our team," said Donovan. "We didn't have the easiest time getting to the stadium [on Sunday] so it was a little bit of a rough trip. It's nice that we're past it and we'll have some west coast games coming up that are going to mean a lot to us."
LA Galaxy to face El Salvador's Isidro Metapan and Costa Rica's Cartaginés in CONCACAF Champions League
The LA Galaxy learned their opponents for the CONCACAF Champions League on Monday after a wild process in CONCACAF that included a re-draw,
LA were inititally placed in Group 8 alongside Mexican giants Cruz Azul and Cartaginés, but due to CONCACAF's rule stating that Mexican and U.S. teams could not meet in the group stage, a re-draw of three groups took place. The Galaxy were ultimately placed in Group 8 with Salvadoran side Isidro Metapan and Costa Rican club .
The 2012 Apertura Champion Isidro Metapan faced the Galaxy in last year's edition of the tournament with LA defeating the Salavadoran side in both matches. Boasting El Salvador internationals Andres Flores, Milton Molina, Eliseo Quintanilla and Alfredo Pacheco, as well as Panamanian forward Nicolas Munoz, Metapan have become one of the most successful clubs in El Salvador as of late with seven titles in the last five years. Metapan play at the Estadio Jorge Calero Suárez, which is two hours outside of San Salvador. Last year, the Galaxy traveled for two hours by bus from the team's hotel in San Salvador to the match.
Cartaginés are making their first ever appearance in the CCL and fell in penalties in the Final of the Costa Rican 2013 Verano championship. But the Costa Ricans earned a ticket into the tournament after CONCACAF allocated a spot to Costa Rica after stripping Belize of their position in the tournament after the federation deemed that the nation did not have a stadium suitable to host a Champions League match. Cartaginés boast a trio of Costa Rican interntionals including forward Randall Brenes, midfielder Mauricio Castillo, and former New York Red Bulls defender Carlos Johnson.

Antwerp's dominance as the world's biggest trading hub for rough diamonds is being tested by strategy changes at some of the largest gem suppliers and growing competition from rival trading centers.
In the most immediate challenge, De Beers, the biggest producer by revenue, is moving the sorting and trading of rough stones to Botswana from London to secure access to the world's largest supplier of diamonds by value. The shift, to be completed next year, is part of the African nation's efforts to build its own trading center in the capital of Gaborone and ends a decades-long De Beers practice of holding sales in the U.K.
Nov. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Pierre De Bosscher, chief executive officer of the Antwerp Diamond Bank, Ari Epstein, chief executive officer of the Antwerp World Diamond Centre, and Anish Aggarwal, partner at Gemdax, talk with Bloomberg's Andrew Clapham about De Beers's decision to move its sorting and trading of rough diamonds to Botswana from London, and its potential impact on Antwerp as the world's biggest trading hub for the stones. (Source: Bloomberg)
"Being close to London will no longer be an advantage to the Antwerp diamond industry and some players might move to different locations," said Jackie Morsel, vice president of Dali Diamond Co., one of De Beers' 76 international diamond customers, known as sight holders.
For more than 40 years, Morsel has made the 200-mile (320 kilometer) trip from Antwerp to buy his supply of rough diamonds from De Beers in London. This time next year, he will have to travel more than 5,000 miles to Botswana for his purchases.
While four-fifths of rough diamonds still pass through Antwerp, the city faces growing competition from the Middle East and Asia, as well as Africa. Dubai in the United Arab Emiratesand Mumbai, India, in particular are making strides in developing the gem-trading industries in those cities.

Hi Everyone,
Anyone have any issues with the quantity of fiber? Do you ever get used to it? I don't want to go into detail but I can gather you all know what I'm talking about.
If you are not used to eating plants (fiber), then you are definitely in for a surprise. Usually what happens, and I'm making an assumption here, is food starts to move rather quickly through the digestive tract. You may find yourself going to the bathroom more often. That's a GOOD THING. That's fiber's job.
Your body will eventually get over the shock and settle into its new fiber-full diet. It's also okay to pull back on the fiber a little bit and add it in more slowly over the next few weeks.
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
Haha, that's kinda of what I was thinking. I've always been a decent veggie eater, beans as well and always chose whole grain bread when eating bread I guess I am just eating that much more now. I'm not bothered by it, but my feeling is my family is based on the recent comedic comments.

Former UFC champ BJ Penn to undergo eye surgery to repair cataract - MMAmania.com
From BJPenn.com:
"January of last year is when I first noticed there was a problem. I was looking at my iPhone and I really couldn't tell what was going on. At first, I thought I tore my retina, so I went to my doctor and he said, I can see right away what the problem is, you have a cataract.' The doctor told me it could be traumatic or it could be from this medicine I was taking called Prednisone, which is what I had been using over the previous few years for sinus infections. I'm definitely hesitant to fight right now with the cataract in my eye. People ask me all the time if I'm going to fight again and I almost just want to change the subject because right now, I definitely don't want to fight with a cataract in my eye. The number one reason for the surgery is just for daily life. I have a tough time driving at night when the lights are shining and I'd like to get that back. On the other hand, you never know what you're going to be thinking if the surgery goes well. If I go in the gym and I'm knocking down all my sparring partners and doing awesome I would definitely think of fighting again."

PHOENIX, AZ - Arizona Sports 620 KTAR-AM continues to expand its local content, announcing today the launch of a new integrated program that will showcase Mixed Martial Arts on all of its platforms.
"MMA is one of the fastest growing and most exciting sports in the world," said Ryan Hatch, Bonneville Phoenix Vice President of News and Sports Content.

How Windows Phone Is Turning Its Slim App Selection Into a Strength
Any mobile developer who wants to make money (read: every one of them) targets Apple's iOS platform first since the user base is massive, representing the greatest potential for profit.Windows Phone, by comparison, has feeble market share (just 2% of phones shipped, according to IDC), so benefits to succeed aren't as great.
However, a smaller platform means a shorter road to success. On iOS (and Android as well), marketing an app rapidly becomes a race to the list of Top 50 downloads. If it can't get there, it's very difficult to stand out from the 700,000+ other titles in the App Store. The Windows Phone Store, however, has just over 110,000 apps.
That's still a lot of competition for developers, but with Windows Phone 8 Microsoft is doing everything it can to turn the road to profits into a multi-lane highway. The new store has several avenues for apps to stand out besides simple download rankings. Besides that, the store is available in 191 countries, which is more than either the iOS (155) or Google Play (132) app stores. It's also launching at the same time as Windows 8, which shares the same design and much of the underlying code.
"The time is right now for Windows Phone," says Larry Lieberman, director of Windows Phone apps. "If you look at what's happening with Windows 8, more people than ever are going to be exposed to a very similar interface. That's a huge opportunity in terms of the cross-platform experience."
With the re-launch of the Windows Phone Marketplace as the Windows Phone Store, Microsoft didn't just give it a cosmetic makeover — there are entirely new features and capabilities. The most important is that discovery in the store is now powered by Bing.
"We have much more sophisticated algorithms and take many more inputs from users," says Todd Brix, senior director of Windows Phone Apps and Store (pictured above). "[The Store] takes into account a lot of inputs — downloads, trajectory, crash rates — so there's positive signals and negative signals. The higher your crash rate relative to your install base, the lower on any kind of list it's going to show up. So we're rewarding developers who deliver quality."
hanks in part to Bing, there's now much more than just Top Free and Top Paid lists in the store. New categories include New+Rising (highlighting apps whose download rates are spiking), Best-Rated (which ranks according to users' star ratings), Collections and "Picks for You." There's an entire group at Microsoft dedicated to finding the absolute best apps for Categories, Brix says, and to put them into specialized collections such as "Let's Go Shopping," "Pet Owners" and "Saturday Night."
Potentially more interesting is Picks for You. These are personalized recommendations from the store that take into account not just what apps you've downloaded, but how great a role they play on your phone (how often you launch it, whether or not you've pinned it to the Start screen, etc.). It also looks at what your Windows Phone-owning friends are downloading — if you're connected on Facebook.
"What we're trying to do is say there isn't a one-size-fits all set of applications that everybody needs," says Brix. "We're trying to build a phone for not everybody, but for each person. The 50 or 100 apps you might want are certainly going to be different than the 50 or 100 apps that I want."
If users take to the new categories — and they work the way they're intended to — the fight for top spot in the Windows Phone Store won't play as great a role for developers as it does on iOS and Android. Microsoft hopes that will be attractive to developers who are weary of the nonstop battle royale for the top positions in other app stores.
"On other platforms, the store environment is pretty static," Brix says. "You're fighting over download rank and whether or not you're in the top three screens or not. [Windows Phone] surfaces great applications that you'd probably never see on a big list."

Our original Kara Koram bags became legends in the mountaineering realm. Our new high-tech reintroduction reclaims the title as the ultimate high-altitude sleeping bag. From the Karakoram to the North Cascades, this ultralight mummy handles the highest and coldest extremes.
"The bag leverages a time-tested design—the mix of vertical and horizontal baffles was inspired by parent company Eddie Bauer's classic 1950s mountaineering bags—that's been updated with the latest materials and construction techniques...Result? The Kara Koram kept testers warm into the teens in New Hampshire, and one cold-sleeping tester rejoiced that she was warm enough to sleep without socks during subfreezing nights in the Tetons."
"I was skeptical at first, but the lightweight design and classic Eddie Bauer down proved to me that this bag is better than any bag out there. On cold nights high in the Tetons, it kept me warm and comfortable without overloading my pack on the approach."

Mayo Clinic researchers have made a number of important contributions to studies on depression, especially in relation to other medical problems, psychiatric disorders or addictions. Areas of research include:
Mayo scientists sometimes use a blood test, the cytochrome P450 test, to help pinpoint genetic factors that play a role in a person's response to most antidepressant medications. This information helps doctors understand which medications might be better tolerated for one person versus another and which should be avoided based on how a person's body breaks down (metabolizes) drugs.

Baseball games aren't played at Internet speed. That's part of their charm.
But Major League Baseball wants fans to have high-speed Internet access when they're attending games at the 30 Major League stadiums across the country.
So MLB Advanced Media — the league's technology arm — announced Thursday that it has teamed with San Diego's Qualcomm to evaluate the ballparks for ways to improve wireless Internet connectivity.
"Particularly for the younger demographic, connectivity is oxygen. It's a requirement," said Joe Inzerillo, senior vice president and chief technology officer for MLB Advanced Media. "You need to have good connectivity like you need to have toilets."
As part of the agreement, a Qualcomm engineering team will provide in-ballpark assessment and planning for wireless access, including Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G networks. The project will continue over the next two years.
Relatively few Major League ballparks have stadium-wide Wi-Fi today. San Francisco was the first to adopt it about a decade ago. The San Diego Padres installed free Wi-Fi throughout the ballpark last year, putting in 425 antennas.
Working with Verizon Wireless, the Padres also took steps to enhance cellular coverage.
"Our competition is the couch at home, air conditioning and a refrigerator full of beer," said Steve Reese, vice president of technology with the Padres. "The ownership here realizes we're in that competitive environment, so we really need to be on top of our game."
Reese estimates that less than a quarter of Major League ballparks have stadium-wide Internet connectivity. It's tricky to bring access to stadiums, he said, not only because crowds clog networks but also because of unusual angles and structural steel that block wireless signals.
Inzerillo said this is the first time a sports league has made a comprehensive effort to bring better Internet service to its stadiums — "not just a little piece of connectivity but really trying to do a program that is leaguewide."
It's a smart move, said Will Richmond, head of Internet video research firm Broadband Directions. Several new stadiums, such as the NBA Brooklyn Nets' Barclays Center, are opting for technology as a way to draw crowds.
"You can certainly imagine an app that allows you to watch replays or have contests and things like that," he said. "You could do a dugout cam; interact with the players — all kinds of different things that aren't really possible when all you have is the Jumbotron."
Major League Baseball's goals aren't that ambitious yet, Inzerillo said. For now, the league wants to learn how people use the Internet in stadiums. It also wants ballparks to have enough capacity to handle peak demand.
"We're trying to make sure every ballpark is up to the level where, if they hosted a playoff and World Series game, they could," Inzerillo said. "You are going to get 45,000 or 50,000 people, and the time to find out whether you can handle that capacity is not when the event is occurring."
Qualcomm has been doing this kind of work for years. It consulted on wireless connectivity at the last four Super Bowls. It has worked behind the scenes at the Olympics, national conventions and NCAA championship games.

Tools, Equipment and/or Special Items Required:
Because the instructor(s) use technology to minimize the need to produce, print and store large quantities of paper copies, students may want to include the cost of some printing as they develop a budget for college expenses. It is estimated that students use approximately one ream of paper each semester to print out notes, hand-outs, etc. They may also want to consider the cost of printing (ink) and/or the cost of making copies, at the college or other site of their choosing.
ADJ students should have access to a personal desktop or laptop computer with internet access. Blackboard learning system accounts are established for each ADJ course and quizzes are designed to be completed via computer on the students' own time, rather than during scheduled class times. Due to selected deadlines, students may need to complete some assigned work at times when the buildings on the main campus or the DSLCC Rockbridge Regional Center are closed.

Final Score: (10) Oklahoma 52, Kansas 7
Norman, OK (Sports Network) - Landry Jones threw for 291 yards and three
touchdowns, as the 10th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners destroyed the Kansas
Jayhawks, 52-7, at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
Jones completed 19-of-28 passes and Kenny Stills added six catches for 90
yards and a score for the Sooners (5-1, 3-1 Big 12), who have won three
straight heading into a top-10 clash with undefeated Notre Dame next Saturday
in Norman.
"We've been very disciplined with how we're playing," Oklahoma coach Bob
Stoops said of his team. "It was another really solid game. Now it's on to
Notre Dame."
Justin Brown returned a punt 90 yards for a score and Roy Finch added a 100-
yard kickoff return touchdown, marking the first time in school history that
the Sooners have had both a kick return and punt return for a touchdown in the
same game.
Kansas quarterback Michael Cummings couldn't get anything going against the
stout OU defense, as he managed just 111 yards on 10-of-21 passing with a pair
of interceptions for the Jayhawks (1-6, 0-3), who have lost six straight.
"It hurts because this is the first time this year that a game got away from
us in the first half," Kansas coach Charlie Weis admitted. "We haven't had a
game this year where it got away from us in the first half."
Oklahoma got a 37-yard field goal from Michael Hunnicutt on its opening
possession before Jones completed all four of his passes on a 4-play, 87-yard
drive, including a 44-yard scoring strike to Stills for a 10-0 lead.
Kansas seemed poised to score when Brown muffed a punt deep in OU territory on
the Jayhawks' ensuing possession, but the Sooners quickly regained control as
Tom Wort sacked Kansas backup quarterback Dayne Crist and forced a fumble,
which was scooped up by Casey Walker and returned 45 yards to the Kansas 28.
The Sooners capitalized on the turnover early in the second, as Blake Bell
punched it in from a yard out to extend the margin to 17-0.
Oklahoma then forced another Kansas punt, which Brown returned 90 yards down
the sideline for a score, as he stretched the ball inside the pylon to give
the Sooners a 24-0 lead with 10:04 left in the second.
Cummings was intercepted on Kansas' next drive and Oklahoma added to its lead
shortly after when Damien Williams carried it in from four yards away.
After another Kansas punt, Jones hit Sterling Shepard in the corner of the end
zone for a 9-yard scoring strike to extend the margin to 38-0 heading into
locker room.
Finch returned the opening kick of the second half 100 yards for a score and
after a Kansas three-and-out, Jones completed his next four passes, including
a 25-yard TD pass to Trey Millard to press the lead to 52-0.
The Jayhawks cracked the scoreboard late in the fourth as James Sims scored
from a yard out to cap a 19-play, 80-yard drive.
Game Notes
Oklahoma owns a 70-27-6 lead in the all-time series ... Oklahoma has won the
last eight meetings between these two teams ... Sims finished with 102 yards
on 28 carries and also caught two passes for 56 yards ... Kansas is still
searching for its first victory against an FBS school this season.
