In the lead up to Saturday's Guinness International Championship Cup match at Dodger Stadium, Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo threw out the first pitch -- and well, the second one -- at Wednesday's game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees.
During his time at Chavez Ravine, Ronaldo bonded with Dodgers star Yasiel Puig, which was profiled all over social media. Whereas people who typically throw out the first pitch don a Dodgers uniform and a cap, Ronaldo was clad in his Madrid best with his iconic finely trimmed hair totally immaculate.
Check out Ronaldo's first and second attempts below. Did he get a strike?
The LA Galaxy have landed in Phoenix ahead of Thursday's match against Real Madrid at University of Phoenix Stadium.
As expected, the temperatures in Phoenix are well...hot. It's a toasty 108 degrees at the moment and the temperatures are expected to be the same at game time. Luckily, the stadium is an air-conditioned venue. Whew.
Above is a shot snapped of Downtown Phoenix.
LA Galaxy midfielder Juninho was named to the MLS All-Star inactive roster on Wednesday afternoon.
Per the league's Collective Bargaining Agreement, the complete MLS All-Star roster includes 32 players, with the inactive roster being determined by player vote.
The nod is Juninho's second time on the inactive roster as the Galaxy midfielder was selected in 2011. This season, Juninho has made 22 appearances—all 22 being starts—while tallying two assists and forming a successful tandem with fellow Brazilian midfielder Marcelo Sarvas.
Now anyone knows me that I love rap,, I was born in the late-80's, and I love soccer -- well obviously -- but how do I feel about this new fusion of all those things for the website Funny Or Die and the MLS All-Star Game? Well, I love it.
LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez joins in the on tank top and fanny pack fun with fellow MLS All-Stars Brad Davis, Graham, Zusi, Kyle Beckerman, Chris Wondolowski, Jack Mcinerney, and Mike Magee.
Now as for each of the verses, I'm a big fan of Gonzalez's flow, but props go to Beckerman and, of course, Magee for bringing the fire. See what I did there?
Check it out.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy will match up against some of the world's best on Thursday when they take on Spanish giants Real Madrid. As LA prepare for their seemingly annual match against Los Blancos, no one is more amped than the Galaxy's rookies who get their first chance to face off against the players they grew up watching on television.
When asked to reflect on the match, the first name off every Galaxy players tongue is Portuguese international and former FIFA World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo, who leads the charge for Los Merengues. The Portuguese star is considered one of the top five players in the world and has shined against the Galaxy in past meetings –just take a look at videos from his appearances in 2010, 2011, and 2012.
Stopping Ronaldo is a challenge for any defender, but two Galaxy rookies, who may be asked to stop Portuguese attacker or some other Madrid star, take the task in stride.
"For anyone that plays soccer, you know Madrid and you know Ronaldo, [Mesut] Ozil because you you've seen these guys on television," said defender Kofi Opare. "They're some of the world's best players and to get a chance to be on the same field with them is definitely something that I've penned on the calendar."
"I just want to contain him. I know that I'm going to be going up against him because a left wing," said Oscar Sorto. "It's going to be unbelievable."
As for their plan is to stop Ronaldo? Both defenders have different tactics.
"I'm just going to look behind me to see if I have help," said Sorto with a laugh. "I'll hopefully play well, but it'll be a good experience."
"I just know from watching him that he's quick and quick with his feet. I guess if I can't get the ball then maybe I can get him a little bit," said Opare. "It'll be interesting."
With a successful Gold Cup in the books, Landon Donovan is enjoying some of his best form of 2013 and with his success comes questions about his future.
Donovan's contract with MLS concludes at the end of the 2013 season, but the Galaxy forward admits that he's not focusing on his contract just yet.
"We will see. I'm open to whatever happens," Donovan told reporters in Kansas City on Tuesday. "I haven't made any decision yet. If there are offers, I will analyze them and see what happens."
This season, Donovan has made 12 appearances in MLS regular season play with three goals and six assists. Donovan also shined at the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup with five goals and seven assists en route to winning the tournament's Golden Ball (MVP) and a share of the Golden Boot (tournament leading scorer).
However, after his much publicized break from the game earlier in the year, the fact that Donovan is going through life day by day is not surprising.
"I don't know yet," Donovan added of his MLS future in 2014. "I'm enjoying every day at this moment. I want to continue like this and when the time comes, I will make a decision. We will see."
The complete video in Spanish is below…
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy have had to make do without their captain Robbie Keane for the past two matches, but once their MLS schedule resumes, they hope to have Irish forward back in the lineup.
Since suffering a left hip flexor strain in the second half of LA's 2-1 defeat to the Portland Timbers on July 13, Keane has been unavailable, but made his return to the training ground this week. The Irish forward hasn't begun full training just yet, but took part briefly in Tuesday's session.
Although appearing in this week's Guinness International Championship Cup matches seems like a no go for Keane, he's got his sights on being ready for next Sunday's match against FC Dallas.
"Hopefully, I can get minutes before [the Dallas game] that. This is just my second day today, so let's see how it holds up. I wasn't supposed to do the training with the team, but because I felt good, I wanted to do it," said Keane. "The trainer's schedule is a little bit different than my schedule, but I know my own body and I felt good today. As long as I keep going, I'm training again tomorrow with the team and do some extra work afterward, we'll see how I feel."
Various international absences and injuries have limited Keane to just 12 games this season, but the forward has contributed plenty when available with team highs in goals (seven) and assists (eight).
Although Keane won't be on the field for this week's ICC matches, he will be in attendance and offer a few words of encouragement to the squad's younger players.
"Just go out and enjoy it. We know that it's going to be a tough game and the chance to win is probably nil," said Keane. "We know that it is going to be difficult, but it's good for [the team] to just go out and enjoy themselves and appreciate how these players play, and also do their best."
Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez talk about which of their MLS All-Star teammates they'd take back to LA
LA Galaxy players Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez are currently in Kansas City ahead of Wednesday's MLS All-Star Game, in an interview with MLSsoccer.com, the Galaxy stars talk about who from the all-star roster they would take back to LA -- and who they'd kick off the team.
It's hilarious, so check it out.
The newest section of StubHub Center, "the Champions Lounge" is already one of the more popular areas of the stadium.

COMMERCE City, Colo. – The LA Galaxy reserves picked up their third straight victory on Sunday with a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids reserves at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Chandler Hoffman provided the goal in the – minute when he finished a square ball provided by Kenney Walker. Hoffman now has five goals with the reserves this season. Colorado threatened late in the first half as well as periodically throughout the second stanza, but could not find the equalizer.
LA is now 4-1-2 this year in MLS Reserve League play. The Galaxy's next reserve match is on Sept. 1 against the San Jose Earthquakes.
"It was a really fought collective effort. The altitude certainly played a factor, in the first half, we certainly played well and then there was a stretch of about 15 minutes where they were pressing. Those are the times that on the road, you have to have the right mentality and weather the storm—and we did. Fortunately, we got the goal and went up right before halftime," said Galaxy assistant coach and reserve team head coach Curt Onalfo. "We were really solid in the second half with the exception of a play or two. We showed a lot of character in how we managed the lead and held on. It was a really important three points and well deserved."

On Thursday, December 6, Sheriff Dana Lawhorne and his staff hosted a special ceremony to honor the educational accomplishments of eight inmates at the William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center.
Education coordinator Krista Sofonia presented Jose Cruz Argueta, Edsel Dugais, Erik Lacayo, Christopher Paulk and Sean Randolph with Certificates of Achievement for passing their General Educational Development examinations. The five wore caps and gowns and were cheered by visiting family members invited to attend the ceremony. Ms. Sofonia thanked GED volunteers, including Mary Jane Malone of Del Ray and AnnMarie Almaguer, a graduate student at Marymount University who completed an internship at the Detention Center this fall.
Joseph Weeks of ORS Interactive joined Sheriff Lawhorne in congratulating Delane Galloway, Thomas Gupton and Darryl Wise for earning their ServSafe® Food Protection Manager Certification. The three inmates, who work in the Detention Center kitchen, now hold a locally and national recognized certification which will make them more competitive candidates for restaurant and food service employment opportunities. The eight-hour program, administered by ORS Interactive of Falls Church, covered food safety regulations and concepts, including time and temperature control, preventing cross-contamination, cleaning and sanitizing, safe food preparation, receiving and storing food, and methods of thawing, cooking, cooling and reheating food. The Alexandria Sheriff's Office began offering this type of training to its inmates for the first time this year.

First Drive: the new Peugeot RCZ
Now that the RCZ's got a new (better) face, we thought it perfect time to remind ourselves what it's like...
Posted: 24 Jan 2013
Ah, the Peugeot RCZ.
Very astute, but you need to add the word 'facelifted'. Don't tell me you missed it. I know it's easy to get distracted by the RCZ's sweeping proportions and low rear deck, but up front there's a new nose. A better nose. One that no longer looks like a gaping black maw. Yes, the huge single grille with its black bumper insert is now a much svelter two-level grille, separated by a body colour section.
OK, so what else is new?
Not a whole lot. This facelift is emphatically from the trim, kit and colour school of easy upgrades. You can have the roof rails in matt black as well as silver now, the base Sport model is available with a leather/alcantara trim combo (for £1,200), there's a new 19-inch wheel for the higher spec GT version and, umm, that's about it.
Hmm, so everything as it was before?
Everything. So you're probably wondering why we're bothering with it. Well, sometimes it's worth reminding ourselves about a car, and the thing with the Peugeot RCZ is that's it's easy to forget what a decent car it is. It's easy to deride it as another style-over-substance Euro-coupe, and, true, I expect most people buy it for that exact reason. However, it's also more than halfway decent to drive. The ride is nicely taut, not harsh or crashy, just well judged and sporty. It has strong front end bite and turn-in and a real appetite for corners. OK, so refinement isn't perfect due to short gearing and above average road noise, but the RCZ is engaging enough to get you excited about driving it, and the 1.6-litre engine...
Yes, surprisingly so. Given the small displacement, I expected it to be fitted with a big sluggish turbo to deliver the claimed 197bhp, but actually it's immediate and effortlessly eager and feels quicker than a 0-62mph time of 7.8 seconds suggests. It even sounds good in a gruff way. The whole car is responsive and reasonably engaging. But then this is the engine to have I suspect, the other options being another variant of this 1.6 turbo with 156bhp and a 161bhp 2.0-litre diesel. The 200bhp version is only 6g/km dirtier than the lesser petrol at 155g/km and returns a claimed 42.1mpg (we got a consistent 35mpg).
What's it like inside?
Well, the ambience is pretty good. There's a lot of glass, so it's light and airy with good visibility (bar the intrusive A-pillars), but...
But... the seats are too flat, unsupportive and mounted too high in the cockpit, the bulbous steering wheel is ugly and the rim isn't that well shaped, the pedals are too far up the footwell and the electronic systems (sat nav, stereo etc) are frustrating to use. And although the boot is big and well shaped, that roofline means only kids will fit in the back. And small ones at that. But my main criticism is that you never feel snug in the RCZ. I think they should have paid more attention to the Audi TT before signing it off.
Speaking of which, It's pretty costly too, isn't it?
Well this flagship GT is £26,380 and that's on the high side, but prices start at £21,595 for the 156bhp Sport model and given there's not that much to justify the £2,400 mark up from Sport to GT versions, we reckon the 200bhp Sport at £23,980 might just be the range sweet spot. However, for an extra £90 you could have an entry level TT 160 Sport...
Now what's this we hear about a hot RCZ?
You hear right. Peugeot unveiled an RCZ R at the Paris motor show last September, complete with a tuned 256bhp version of the 1.6-litre and lowered, stiffened suspension. It could be rather good, but it won't be here until much later this year. We have the 208 GTI to look forward to before then.
A proper Peugeot hot hatch?
That's the word on the street. Although it's gonna have its work cut out against the new Renaultsport Clio and Ford Fiesta ST. Still, the RCZ shows that Peugeot can still do a driver's car, and that bodes pretty well.

Man... I wish Deka and National Instruments would allow the release of the NiWeek06 keynote video by Dean Kamen. It would really open eyes and show the path that needs to be taken for the future!
Folks....F.I.R.S.T. LEGO League is one really great way! Role Models...Science and Technology over Sports and Entertainment! Give the kids real Heros that they can base a realistic future career towards. Sure, the differences are the money. But, the truth is obtaining a realistic dream one can actually achieve.
I spent all of last weekend inspiring kids and adults via LEGO MindStorms (TexLUG show at our local library). It does help that I work at NASA. They could see the real possibilities. Several FLL teams asked me if I could mentor them when possible. I will.
Dean called for engineers to get involved. We just need the exposure. Interested media. Media interested?
If some ears don't open... Well, I don't like to dwell on what will happen.

Sweat runs into the remote easily making the headphones worthless while exercising. The volume stops working, and the tracks start to skip around and pause. Don't buy these if you sweat a lot while exercising.

Essential Advising Resources
College Philosophy and Policy:
- "Education in the Liberal Arts" and "Elements of a Liberal Education"-www.grinnell.edu/academic/catalog/education/elem/
- "Academic Programs" section of the Grinnell College Academic Catalog-www.grinnell.edu/academic/catalog/
- "Academic Policies and Procedures " section of the Student Handbook -www.grinnell.edu/offices/studentaffairs/shb/academicpolicies
Questions about College regulations or practices not answered in these sources should be addressed to Joyce Stern, Dean for Student Academic Support and Advising, x3702, Paula Smith, Dean of the College, x4268, or Cheryl Chase, Registrar, x3450. Answers are often just one phone call away.
Information About Your Advisee:
Advisee data is in two places: in 'hard copy,' in the student's advising file folder, and electronically, online via PioneerWeb "Advising Information"(pioneerweb.grinnell.edu) Each adviser receives a file folderof information about each new advisee. Tutors should take time to thoroughly review these folders prior to New Student Orientation. These folders contain
- high school transcript;
- admission application, including essay;
- Adviser Information Form - completed by the student in the summer before arrival;
- approval of transfer or advanced placement credits, if any;
- standardized test scores;
- an academic planning worksheet called 'Four Years at Glance'; and
- math and foreign language placement information.
Each piece of information in the folder lends insight into the new student you are about to meet, from data such as grades and test scores to a personal essay reflecting the student's values and significant life experiences. The Adviser Information Form, which the students complete during the summer prior to fall enrollment, includes information about the student's goals at college, including a list of possible courses for the fall. The form asks the student to list several courses so that there is room for adjustment, but good advising may lead to other courses in the final registration. Initially, there will not be much advising information on PioneerWebthat's not already in the file folder, but as the semesters pass, critical information will appear online. Within PioneerWeb advisers can access:
- grades
- credits earned
- standardized and placement test scores
- course schedules
- academic evaluation of progress toward a major and the degree.
Because advisers are not sent individual grade reports or course schedules, advisers should review the status of their advisees online. Excellent times to do this are at the beginning of the semester and just prior to a pre-registration advising appointment. Another feature of Pioneer Web, academic evaluations, can be particularly helpful to students and advisers as they develop a four-year plan and as a device for monitoring progress towards graduation. Essentially it's a summary (printable) of a student's "degree audit"; it includes courses completed, courses in progress, and transfer credits organized by division and by department. The academic evaluation should be consulted prior to pre-registration each semester and any time there is a question about a change in registration, major, or other program.

Located near the junction of Interstate 5 and the 22 Freeway, Old Towne Orange is just minutes from Disneyland and other popular area attractions. At the very heart of this unique, energetic community is Plaza Park, the centerpiece of the Plaza Historic District. The Plaza Square — which is, in reality, oval in shape — is one of the few places left in California around which one can drive. The centerpiece of this pristine parcel of real estate is a decorative fountain dating from 1937 and an array of finely manicured trees, shrubbery and beautiful rose gardens. Four memorial plaques adorn the fountain and the park forms a rotary from which Chapman Avenue and Glassell Street radiate outward in four directions.
The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and is the oldest dedicated parkland in Orange County.
The City of Orange began in 1871, when two lawyers, Alfred Beck Chapman and Andrew Glassell, were deeded the land as payment for services, says Douglas Westfall in his A Tour of Old Towne Orange. The town was originally called Richland, and it's unclear as to why the city ultimately assumed the name of Orange given that orange trees did not arrive in the area until the mid 1870s. It wasn't long after its founding that the city became a bustling agricultural community that soon attracted trainloads of visitors to its warm climate and pleasant landscapes.
Today, the shops and eateries found along Old Towne's eight block perimeter are as diverse and interesting as its varied past. Here is a quick peek at Old Towne's offerings:
Citrus City Grill Known far and wide for the filet mignon, stuffed herb chicken and pastas. 122 North Glassell Orange, California 92866 714-639-9600 Open 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Closed Sunday. The Victorian Manor, A Tea Room and Garden This period tea room offers dozens of flavorful teas and a quaint gift shop. They also offer a masterpiece dinner theater once a month. 204 North Olive Street Orange, California 92866 714-771-4044 Open 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. www.victorianmanor.com. Chapman's Antique Mall Reputed to have the largest jadeite collection in California, as well as some of the finest pottery, including Weller, Bauer and Brookwood. 201 East Chapman Orange, California 92866 714-633-0388 Open 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., daily.
How To Get There: Take I-10 west to California 60; continue on I-215 north for 4.7 miles. Take the I-215 exit and go .6 miles at which time the road becomes California 91. Continue along California 91 west to the 55 south. Exit and turn right on Chapman Avenue. Old Towne Orange is about one mile west of the freeway.

Skullcandy 50/50
Cool design, comfortable, in-line remote, excellent bass, carry case
Slightly pricey, audio could be better
The fact that Skullcandy describes its products as the "sickest" headphones around should give you some idea of the target audience. The brand offers a huge range of headphones and earphones with the emphasis firmly on the cool aesthetics. But, is it a case of style over substance? We took a look at a set of the maker's latest in-earphones to find out.
The Skullcandy 50/50 earbuds come in a range of colours including black, white and blue, and we had the red version in for review. Despite the striking finish and the skull-shaped logo on the back of the earbud, the design is quite subtle so you wouldn't feel out of place wearing these if you're not quite a teenager any more.
The earphones are supplied with three sets of silicone ear pieces so that you can find the best fit for your lugholes. We found that the earphones fitted very snugly and didn't fall out too easily when walking about, while also blocking out a lot of background noise (although there's no active noise-cancelling). You do need to make sure that the the earbuds are in at the correct angle, otherwise you won't get the full benefit of the their audio capabilities. It's easy enough to do this by adjusting the earpieces until the sound output is even between the two. The soft earpieces and lightweight earbuds mean that the 50/50 are really comfortable to wear and you're likely to forget you're even wearing them after a while.
We found the placing of the in-line remote to be slightly awkward at first, as it's quite high up at the top of the right-hand cable, rather than below the "Y" where the cable meets, like many other models. In fact, we kept reaching for the piece of plastic that's located where the cable splits in two (and looks almost identical to the in-line remote). Obviously the reason that the controls are located near to the top is because that's where the microphone is so that you can use the 50/50 for making calls on your iPhone. We found that the sound quality was fine - although not amazing but then the earphones are limited by the audio offered by the iPhone itself.
Living up to its Made for iPod and Works with iPhone credentials, the 50/50's remote control will only work when you're hooked up to a compatible iPod or iPhone - if you're using them with something else, then you'll have to use that device's own controls. You can also play and pause your music by pressing the middle of the remote, while two taps will skip forwards a track and three will skip back.
At 1.3m, the cable is fair bit longer than what you tend to get on earphones (usually around 1-1.1m), so there's a fair bit of room for movement. The striking red finish carries on all the way down the cable to the 3.5mm jack and also covers the in-line remote. When we first saw the cable's nylon covering we assumed that it would stay relatively free from tangles, like The Stretch headphones from Philips. However, as the cable is thinner, the nylon covering doesn't feel quite so robust and we found that they got just as tangled as earphones with the usual rubber casing.
The supplied carry case does help a fair bit when it comes to keeping the earphones free of tangles and with a hard shell on one side, it should help to protect the earbuds, too. Unlike many carry cases that are bunged in the box by manufacturers (often in the form of a cheap, drawstring bag), the pouch included with the 50/50 has obviously been given some thought. As well as a zipped lid, there's a webbed pouch inside to keep the earphones in place and a small attachment on the outside so you can hang it on a bag or keyring.
The very first thing that we noticed when hooking the headphones up to an iPod was the splendid low-end response, which will be music to your ears (quite literally) if you listen to alot of bass-heavy tunes. However, the overall sound isn't quite as impressive. It's not the clearest that we've heard on a pair of in-ears, and it has the tendency to sound a little thin particularly considering the slightly steep price tag.
The Skullcandy 50/50 certainly look the part and the comfy design, complete with differently sized ear pieces for you to choose from is also a bonus. Although they block out a fair bit of noise, the overall audio is a tad disappointing considering the price tag, but the splendid bass certainly helps to sweeten the pill.
The inclusion of a protective carry case, while probably irrelevant to some, should mean that the headphones survive that bit longer than some slightly cheaper rivals, and the addition of an in-line remote is also a useful feature, as long as you've got an iPod or iPhone to make full use if it.
