172R vs 172M
I am looking at 2 different aircraft to use as timebuilder / IFR trainer. The first is a '75 172 M with 6600TTAF and 1950SMOH with reasonable paint and avionics (KX155's) - may need GPS upgrade, etc. The second is a '97 172R with ~600 TTAE, MFD, immaculate cosmetics, etc. Neither has any damage, etc. as far as I know.
Thoughts? The price difference is significant, but I would have little to no outflows other than routine maintenance on the R model - the older plane would need new engine, avionics upgrades, etc.
What about depreciation on the R model? Do you think it will hold value reasonably well?
I like the idea of an older aircraft (I know it's not really a "classic") and of doing some refurbishment, but I've been out of aviation for 6-7 years and right now my #1 priority is getting in the air.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts / help - I'm new to the forums here.
Re: 172R vs 172M
I own a 1973-C172M with about 3400TT and an engine with ~450 SMOH no damage history. Original paint and interior. It could use another paint job and the plastic interior is old plastic and much of it is brittle, but the seats are OK. I've udated one of the radios with a MX-300 and the plane was equiped for IFR to start. Two VORs, GS, & ADF are adequate, but I could use a DME. I use a potable GPS to cut the workload down. A panel mount GPS IFR certified would be ideal but for now I don't want to invest in one. Maintenance over the last two years has been higher than suspected. I had to overhaul the three Gyros, replace one collision avoidance flasher and flashing beacon, altimeter and encoder. Corrosion in some of the electrical connections tend to cause trouble time from time to time but I fix them as I go. The planes dependable and have been useful and a lot of fun.
I bought the plane about 1-1/2 years ago. AT that time I would not have considered a plane with an engine over 1000 hours and wanted a low time engine, which is what I got. I really didn't want to mess with a lot of maintenance and repairs being a new owner and not knowing much. Figured I would learn over the years so that when I really needed to do something I would already have learned something. So far I think I made the right choice even with the maintenance experience. I didn't have the option of buying a relatively new plane like a 1997 172R. The cost was prohibitive. You should be able to check the appreciation by looking at the sales costs compared to new Cessna's and what it originally sold for.
What ever you decide, find a good and trustworthy A&P mecahnic to help guide you and make sure they have experience with those planes. Having said that, I would think anyone in the business for a reasonable time would have had experience with cessna's. I would get an annual as a condition of purchase and add the appropriate escape clause if it turns out to be a lemon.
Good luck.
Re: 172R vs 172M
If your primary reasoning is to get in the air(and you can realistically afford it) id go for the newer aircraft.While both I would think are fine aircraft,I suspect if you purchase the older one,youll be sitting in a hangar repairing and overhauling things for quite some time instead of punching holes in the sky.
I bought my 150K VERY cheap,and spent around 14 months getting it airworthy...not to mention a chunk of money.Im tickeled with the end result,and in my case wouldnt have had it any other way.
It all depends on how long you want(or plan to) work on it before you get it flyable,and reliable.
in any case have a qualified A&p go over it with a fine-tooth comb prior to any committment...tailwinds
Re: 172R vs 172M
One other consideration is corrosion control. The 172R and 172S are lavishly treated with internal corrosion proofing during assembly (I believe it's zinc chromate, but not sure) thoughout, while very few of the pre-1996 172s were. The pre-1996 airplanes only had internal corrosion proofing if the buyer paid a high premium for it or they were built as floatplanes.
Re: 172R vs 172M
I love my 172M, Look for a 74 or 75 with lower time, mine was 2900 TT with 950 on fact new engine and one year old KX155's, GS,MB,ADF,DME etc. It seems to me that it is a better deal to buy an older low time plane with the goodies already in it than to buy and fix up, but that is just my thoughts.
Re: 172R vs 172M
I own a 75 172M. TT approx 4000. I bought the plane in 1999 for 59K. I have done extensive overhauls, painted it, put new interior in it, put a garmin 155gps, 2 kx 155 radios, fuel flow analyzer, stec autopilot. The plane flys like a champ and has been alot of fun to own. Even with all this done it still is alot cheaper than the 172R. My bid is for the 172M. Good luck and happy flying.

PANAMA CITY — Mayor Greg Brudnicki recently demanded his name be removed from a list of mayors dedicated to stopping the flow of illegal guns into America's cities.
Brudnicki said he did so after the group "hornswoggled" him via email to get his name on the list.
"The email said 'if you don't want to be on the list, let us know,' instead of, 'let us know if you want to be included on the list,' " Brudnicki said.
"Well, I didn't see the email until a couple of days later," he continued. "So, they put my name on this list, unbeknownst to me."
The name of the list is fairly innocuous. "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" is self-described as a group of more than 725 mayors, headed by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The coalition's principles include keepingmilitary-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines off the streets and working to develop and use technologies that aid in the detection and tracing of illegal guns.
Brudnicki said the illegal gun aspect was not what warranted his disagreement.
"I'm not for illegal immigration; I'm not for illegal prostitution," Brudnicki said. "What they did then is they were going to determine what guns are illegal."
After finding out through a local talk radio show, Brudnicki said he called the coalition, "chastised" them and had his name removed. There are currently no mayors from Bay County who are a part of Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
John McCarthy, spokesman for Mayors Against Illegal Guns, confirmed that an email was sent out along the lines of what Brudnicki described.
"That was an open letter to the White House and Congress, so we wanted to make sure coalition members who didn't want to be on that letter would have the opportunity to opt out," McCarthy said. "That doesn't have to do with membership in the coalition. That was more, 'do I want to be a signator to this letter.' "
The letter outlined what mayors wanted the president to take action on, such as appointing a director to the ATF, prosecuting people who lie during background checks and ordering federal agencies to update background databases.
McCarthy said it takes an active signature to the statements of principles to be part of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns coalition.
"You sign up for this; it is a statement of principles," McCarthy said. "He was a member of the coalition."
McCarthy said Brudnicki joined June 7, before the Aurora, Colo., and Newtown, Conn., shootings, and was removed from the coalition sometime last week. He said the coalition has amended the statement of principles to keep military-style weapons off the streets.
"You actively join," McCarthy said. "You sign a statement of principles, and you can opt out at any time."
After the Newtown shootings, Mayors Against Illegal Guns became very active, according to Brudnicki.
"I am appalled and amazed at the deeply underhanded way you have handled this situation," Brudnicki wrote in a letter to the coalition. "The amount of aggravation this has caused me within my community warrants consideration of serious legal action."
Brudnicki defended his background on gun rights during an interview with The News Herald on Monday.
"What's astounding is the more we have these incidents the more people are going out and buying guns," Brudnicki said. "Obviously there is a move to take people's weapons away, which is ridiculous, and I've always thought it was ridiculous."
Brudnicki said one of the platforms he campaigned on was gun rights.
"There were signs posted in the local parks that people couldn't have a gun," Brudnicki said. "I immediately had them removed as soon as I found out about it.
"Everyone should have the right to bear arms," he added. "I don't think we need to have any knee-jerk reactions to anything that happens."

Money is available to increase the curbside appeal of Carrabelle businesses.
The Carrabelle Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) has a mission to reduce and eliminate blight within the designated redevelopment area or district. To that end, they are offering grants to spiff up the business district. A brochure and application forms for the program were debuted at a CRA meeting held Tuesday, June 17.
The Community Reinvestment Act part of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1977 is a federal law designed to encourage commercial banks and savings associations to help meet the needs of borrowers in all segments of their communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act requires federal regulators to assess the record of each bank or thrift in helping to fulfill its obligations to lend to low and moderate income borrowers. This record will then be used in evaluating applications for future approval of bank mergers, charters, acquisitions, branch openings and deposit facilities.
A CRA designates a district in need of revitalization. A baseline of tax revenue is set at the time of designation. From that date forward, any increase in property tax revenue, above the baseline, goes into a fund to be used to improve structures within the district.
Carrabelle established their CRA in 1993. Since then CRA, funds have been used toe upgrade public areas with landscaping and sidewalks.
Now, the city is making CRA funds available as grants to upgrade existing buildings to improve appearance and environment, improve functionality, eliminate code violations, and help fill vacant or underused spaces within the commercial district.
According to a press release concerning the grants, "The CRA seeks to increase "pride of ownership" and to get "feet on the street". Crowded sidewalks and occupied store-fronts indicate healthy economic activity and a safe environment; a place for people to come and enjoy."
There is no fee to apply for a CRA grant; however, making application does not entitle the applicant to funding.
Application must be made prior to September 2014 to be included in the next funding cycle if approved.
The grant seeking process begins with a pre-application conference with CRA Director Courtney Millender to determine eligibility. Next, an application must be filed by the owner(s) of the property.
Please submit application and all documents as a complete package. Incomplete packets will be returned. A checklist will be provided.
CRA staff will review and approve or deny the application packets in the order in which they are received.
Once approved for funding, the grant recipient and CRA Director shall sign a "Carrabelle Commercial Building Façade Grant Agreement." that describes the obligations and limitations of the grant award.
Next, all required plan review and building permits must be approved and issued.
When this is done, the project may proceed with the CRA obligated to reimburse costs as approved in the agreement.
Any modifications to final plans will require review and written approval from the CRA Director and board.
Once the work is complete, the grant recipient will be responsible to arrange for any required on-site inspection by the applicable city or county officials as well as the CRA Director. Improvements will be documented and compared with what was proposed at the time of application. If any discrepancies are noted, the CRA has the right to request the discrepancies be corrected.
Recipient also submits written proof of payment for all improvements.
Interested parties may request an application for grant funding from the CRA Director.
In order to promote the revitalization of the commercial core of the redevelopment district, the current 2014-2015 grant program funding will be limited to properties with no identified code violations, unless the proposed improvements serve to correct violations.
Properties must pay taxes to the county and have no signage or structures that violate existing land development or other code regulations, unless the violations will be corrected by the work described in the grant.
Properties current and proposed future use must conform to the zoning map and must be legally permitted commercial activities.
Occupants must have maintained all required licensing to operate, as well as being current on all city utility accounts.
For qualifying projects, expenses are eligible for an 80 percent grant rebate. The maximum amount of a proposed project is $20,000, thus the maximum grant-funding amount is capped at $16,000.
Awards are currently limited to one award, per parcel, per CRA Fiscal Year (October thru September). Improved areas must be visible from the street or other public space. Labor and material costs that may be covered include professional design and engineering services related to exterior qualifying façade improvements.
Types of eligible improvements include removal or restoration of deteriorated or sub-standard exterior building material; masonry work or new stucco, brick or repairs; exterior painting; new or replacement windows, doors and woodwork; removal or replacement of signs, awnings, landscaping and fencing. Paving can be replaced. Roof repair or replacement may be included.
Grants may be used to bring buildings in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Millender said information about the grants has already been posted on FaceBook and the city's website. "Funds will not be available until after the city's budget hearings but we wanted to go ahead and accept applications so we could get a feel for how much many to set aside for the grants," she said.

Church Street sidewalk project in Arlington completedBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | November 29,2012ARLINGTON A $240,000 sidewalk project on one of the towns main pedestrian streets was completed last week, ahead of the worst of the winter weather, according to Select Board Chairman Keith Squires.
The Church Street sidewalk project had been in the planning stages for about eight years before getting under way this July.
A renovated sidewalk was built from Route 313 to Church Street, to the south, and ending at Arlington Family Practice. A group of trees that were in front of the medical practice was preserved but moved back to make room for the sidewalk.
New sidewalk was built along Route 7A in the same area and curbing was added to Church Street, the site of the St. James Episcopal Church, to enhance the safety of pedestrians. Because of the proximity of the church, medical office, homes and the town offices, many people walk to and from the areas that are both near and part of the project but in the past, there hasnt been a clear walkway to use off Route 7A, which can be especially difficult when snow is piled up on the side of the road.
The goal of the project was to improve the access for pedestrians.
The sidewalk project included replacing the existing sidewalk that was there, bringing it up to standards, extending it across all the way down to Russell Street from (Route) 313 and at the same time the town took on the project of rebuilding the road (Church Street) itself, he said.
The road was improved with paving, grading and better drainage.
Squires said while some of the landscaping will have to wait until the spring season, the work on the project is mostly complete.
According to Squires, the construction schedule had to be extended, primarily due to the weather, but the project is expected to be finished slightly under the projected cost. The $240,000 budget included preparatory work like scoping and design work.
One of the challenges faced in the project was saving the trees in front of the medical practice while building the new sidewalk. Squires said the sidewalk had to be in a specific location to meet all the required codes but the trees had sentimental value to the community.
The trees were all planted in memory of different people over the years and they wanted to retain the trees so that was the reason the decision was made to move them and not replace them which was a pretty good little project just in itself, moving those trees, Squires said.
The work was done by Herrmann Construction, of Manchester. Squires said he was pleased not only because he was happy with the results but also because hiring a local contractor meant that some of the people who worked on the project were Arlington residents.
That makes it kinda nice. The masonry work was done by two local guys from right here in town. That always works good and kinda makes you feel good to have some local people doing a federally funded project, he said.
The federal government provided 80 percent of the projects funding.
The contractor was also willing to work with the town to accommodate special events in town during the project like Normans Attic, a town-wide festival

Parolee denies assault on womanBy ERIC FRANCIS
CORRESPONDENT | September 14,2013
Charles "Chad" NourseWHITE RIVER JUNCTION — A Springfield parolee was returned to jail after he was arraigned on a slate of new charges.
Charles "Chad" Nourse, 36, pleaded innocent Thursday to felony counts of aggravated domestic assault, second-degree unlawful restraint, and home invasion, as well as misdemeanor counts of operating a vehicle without the owner's consent and petty larceny.
Springfield Police Sgt. Robert Simmons said Nourse's girlfriend came with her best friend to the police department Wednesday afternoon, reporting that Nourse had put her in a "full nelson" wrestling hold and physically thrown her out of the house after a violent series of arguments.
The woman told police that a short time later Nourse went to her best friend's house, entered it without permission, took the keys of her pickup and ransacked its interior.
The friend wrote in a statement that a bottle of her prescription medication was missing after Nourse entered her house and that "Nourse was obviously higher than a kite on something."
In 2011 Nourse was one of a dozen suspected drug dealers rounded up by police in Claremont, N.H., on St. Patrick's Day in "Operation Shamrock Shakedown." Prosecutors said Thursday that a detainer has been filed in his new cases by New Hampshire authorities, since his arrest in Vermont may be a violation of his parole conditions in the Granite State.
On the Vermont side of the river, Nourse's criminal record at the White River Junction criminal court dates back to 1995 and includes convictions for providing false information to police, drunken driving, driving with a suspended license, disorderly conduct, domestic assault, possession of marijuana, possession of stolen property and retail theft.MORE IN Southern VermontBENNINGTON — Ask author and Bennington College graduate Charlotte Silver if the title of...

It's been almost 10 years since I interviewed Wayne Hall and his mother, Gloria, in their Fort Walton Beach home.
I had forgotten his name and his face, but his story has stayed with me. And his mother's cautionary words to me — which I have shared with many other parents — may have saved a life or two.
After all, you never know tragedies you have missed; you only know when they find you.
Hall, who was a college student in 2004, was paralyzed at age 11 in an accidental shooting at a friend's house. His friend pulled the trigger.
His mother, Gloria, told me to always ask playmates' parents if they have guns and how they are secured before letting my children go to their homes.
I have done that ever since.
Yes, it's awkward at times, particularly in this area heavily populated with NRA enthusiasts and military personnel.
But how could I ignore her advice after meeting her amazing son and hearing his story?
I couldn't.
The boys, who were best friends, had spent the day at Hall's house before heading to a sleepover at the other boy's home. They watched a movie in which one of the characters had a .357 Magnum. His friend said that his brother had that gun and offered to show it to Hall. The guns were in the brother's bedroom under a mattress.
The boy emptied out what he thought were all the bullets, while explaining the gun had been modified to have a "hair-trigger" so that it could go off when barely touched.
When the boy was putting the gun away, it went off. The bullet lodged next to Hall's spine, bruising it and causing paralysis. It also severed his liver, destroyed his gallbladder, pierced his lung and shattered a rib.
"I looked down, I'm like, 'Dude, you shot me,'" Hall told me in 2004.
The shooting changed his life, but it did not define him. His attitude did, and his passion for music. I haven't talked to him or his family since that article appeared, but found Hall on an Internet search. He's still playing music.
His mother's advice has, if anything, become more relevant as the years have passed.
I have asked. I have gotten answers that eased my concerns.
Do you have guns in the house? How are they secured?
Yes, those are hard questions to ask.
But after hearing Hall's story, not asking would be harder.

Krishna Carried Across the River
In the story of the god Krishna's life on earth, he is born to a royal family but must be taken from the palace immediately in order to hide him from an evil uncle. This unusual painting shows the circumstances of this departure. In the dark of night, while everyone in the palace is asleep (a small gazebo at right stands in for the palace), Krishna's father carries him across the river Yamuna to the rural community where Krishna will be raised. The father is barely visible here at the center, holding the baby above his head while the giant serpent Vasuki stands above them, offering protection. A lion on the opposite bank of the river might represent the dangers facing them at night, as does the monkey at the upper right and the bolt of lightning. In the upper left is a temple with Krishna enthroned at the center; his four arms indicate that this is his transcendent form, the form that continued to exist in heaven even as he was incarnated as a mortal down on earth. The painting presents the various elements of the story in different areas of the page without attempting to synthesize them into a single scene or setting. This approach is frequently found in Indian painting, which often strives to tell the whole story rather than attempting to capture a single moment.

Next week Microsoft will no longer support computers running Windows XP or Office 2003. There will be no new security updates, non-security hotfixes, free or paid assisted-support options, or online technical content updates.
D-Day is quickly approaching. Here are six reasons to stop running Windows XP within your company:
1. Security
Unsupported and unpatched environments are vulnerable. Windows XP vulnerabilities are being uncovered and accumulated by hackers until April. After April 8, according to IT magazine Computerworld, hackers will sell them to criminals for a black market price between $50,000 and $150,000. Your data is valuable — and they will get at it very quickly if you are still running Windows XP after April 8.
Microsoft has announced that it will end all support for Windows XP on April 8, except for updates to Microsoft's anti-malware products running on XP, which will be available until July 2015. This extension should not dampen your urgency to get off the platform.
SEE ALSO: Why you shouldn't commit to Windows 8
2. Support
When Microsoft ends its support, so do most IT vendors. After all, how can we confidently support clients who are relying on systems that the manufacturer no longer supports? I think that at the least it is safe to say that if you choose to keep Windows XP, your technology service costs will skyrocket.
3. Cost
By upgrading or moving your systems into the cloud, you will save money. Your machines will be safer and more reliable, which will result in less IT support expenses.

FRISCO, Texas – LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena has pledged to make at least a couple of changes to his squad ahead of this Saturday's match against FC Dallas and one possible change could see defender Tommy Meyer make his 2013 debut.
Center backs Leonardo and Omar Gonzalez have logged heavy minutes in recent weeks and Meyer represents an option for the Galaxy to offer a brief respite to one of their center backs.
Meyer became a regular in the Galaxy starting XI towards the end of the 2012 season, appearing in all six postseason games including the 2012 MLS Cup.
Fit again, Meyer is itching to return to the lineup, possibly this weekend against FC Dallas or at least in Monday's Reserve League match against Seattle Sounders FC.
"My body feels great," said Meyer, who missed considerable time in the preseason due to a left hamstring strain. "It is back to how I felt before, if that's needed and they see to make a change [on Saturday] then I'm ready. I haven't played a game since Real Salt Lake [in preseason on Feb. 8], and so I'm ready to play."
Would you want to see Meyer start on Saturday?
Share your thoughts below.
FRISCO, Texas. -- Hours after flying into Texas, several members of the LA Galaxy were back on the training ground on Thursday.
The starters took part in a regeneration session at the team hotel, but the reserves were able to train for 90 minutes in Frisco.
Following training, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena offered the following updates.
(On whether rotation is planned for FC Dallas match...)
ARENA: "I'm sure that we're going to have a couple changes in our lineup, but what those are has not been determined at this point."
(On the status of Gyasi Zardes...)
ARENA: "He looks like he's a little ahead of schedule for the surgery that he had. He's back on the field now, which is good and he'll slowly build himself back into full training over the next couple of weeks."
MONTERREY, Mexico— LA Galaxy attacker Mike Magee was unable to start Wednesday's CONCACAF Champions League Semifinal second leg against C.F. Monterrey due to a right leg injury, but he is not expected to miss time ahead of LA's return to league play.
The leading goal scorer in MLS did not get the start, but was able to go 31 minutes as LA pressed for a goal in their 1-0 defeat at Estadio Tecnológico. The goal never came, however, and the Galaxy fell out of the CCL 3-1 on aggregate.
Following the match, Magee stressed that his right leg issue was not serious.
"I just had a little hip issue so I had a little procedure and injections that hadn't settled in yet. I'm feeling better, just a little achy, but it'll be fine in a couple of days," Magee said after the game.
With the Galaxy turning their focus away from CCL and towards the league stage, Magee admitted that there was one chief lesson that LA needed to take from their continental campaign.
"We have to take care of business at home," said Magee. "You can't expect to come to a club like this and expect to get a win. It's not impossible, but it's very difficult."
MONTERREY, Mexico – Landon Donovan made his first start and 90 minute performance of 2013 in the LA Galaxy's 1-0 defeat to C.F. Monterrey that saw LA's CONCACAF Champions League dreams dashed 3-1 on aggregate.
Fitness seemed to be little issue for Donovan, who was once again making the type of darting runs and confident passes that have been a staple of his career. However, goals were hard to come for Donovan and his Galaxy teammates as Monterrey's organized defense repeatedly stifled LA's attack. Following, Donovan admitted that his fitness wasn't much of an issue for him on Wednesday, but rather it was Monterrey's quality that proved too much for LA. .
"I felt good. It was a good game; they're a very good team. We let ourselves down in the first leg, we tried, but this is a very tough place to come and play," Donovan told reporters. "In my opinion, that's the best team in this region and they played well and got a goal and made it difficult for us."
Donovan offered Monterrey a glowing endorsement, but was also noted the disparity between the two sides.
When asked by a member of the Mexican media if scheduling was the reason for MLS clubs record against Liga MX in CONCACAF Champions League, Donovan stressed that is the income disparity more than anything.
"We make about eight to nine million dollars [as a team], they make 25 to 30, so it's difficult," said Donovan. "Football is like that. When Manchester United plays Wigan, it's different and it will always be like that until we start spending money and buying players like Aldo [De Nigris], like Humberto [Suazo] and players like that. We came to win, but this night, we didn't."
Do you expect to see Donovan start against FC Dallas? What are your thoughts about his comments on the comparison between Liga MX and MLS?
Share your thoughts below.
The LA Galaxy's deficit proved to be too much for the club as they fell 1-0 to C.F. Monterrey and 3-2 on aggregate to end their CONCACAF Champions League dreams at the semifinal stage.
My Three Points to the game are below...
Three Points: LA Galaxy fall to Monterrey in CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals.
Agree with my analysis? Disagree?
Share your thoughts below.
MONTERREY, Mexico –Bruce Arena addressed the media following the LA Galaxy's 1-0 CONCACAF Champions League Semifinal second leg defeat to C.F. Monterrey. LA fell 3-1 on aggregate.
Arena's thoughts are below…
(On the club's defeat…)
ARENA: "First all, we're disappointed with the result tonight, but we lost to a very good team. We may have lost this series in the last 10 minutes of the game in Los Angeles. We made it very difficult for ourselves and tonight was going to be hard because of the way that we played in the last 10 minutes last week. Having said that, Monterrey is an excellent team and deserving winners."
(On whether desperation threw off the offense?)
ARENA: "There was no desperation until perhaps the last 20 minutes of the game. "
(On LA's inability to create chances…)
ARENA: "I thought Monterrey played well. Their center backs had an excellent game. The two midfielders, Zavala and Ayovi were very good as well."
(On starting Donovan…)
ARENA: "This competition is very difficult for MLS teams right now, we don't have our full fitness at this time of year and certainly that is the case with Donovan. I thought Landon did very well to survive 90 minutes tonight."
(On the experience…)
ARENA: "A great experience for our club and certainly, we will look back to game one where we were in position to win and come here to make it more difficult on our opponent and we failed in that regard."
(On Omar Gonzalez's performance…)
"I thought Omar performed very well. He can use this competition as a means of growing as a player. Hopefully, he learned something from last week. I think tonight he was excellent."
(On whether MLS teams are at a disadvantage because they have just started their season…)
ARENA: "Yes."
(On how MLS compares to Liga MX…)
ARENA: "Football in the United States is growing and getting better each year. Our league is still behind the Mexican league, the Mexican league has greater resources to build better teams at this point."
(On finishing…)
ARENA: "This game was going to be a tight game. We made on ourselves difficult last week so there was no reason to believe that this game was going to be open in the first 60 minutes of the game. They could comfortably organize their back line and their midfield and pick their spots to go forward. Last week, the last ten minutes of the game impacted the series greatly. We didn't play well tonight in the attack, the last pass, the shot selection, but give them credit, they played very well."
(On what the Galaxy can take from the series…)
ARENA: "There were a lot of positives. Our team played pretty well in this competition and this series. We learned that ten minutes might have sealed our fate."
MONTERREY, Mexico -- The LA Galaxy's dreams of the CONCACAF Champions League are over as LA fell 1-0 to Monterrey on Wednesday, suffering a 3-1 aggregate defeat.
Aldo De Nigris scored the lone goal in the 81st minute in front of a sellout crowd at Estadio Tecnológico.
More to come shortly...

MONTERREY, Mexico – We're just a few hours from Wednesday night's CONCACAF Champions League Semifinal second leg between the LA Galaxy and C.F. Monterrey.
To get you prepared for kick off, check out my links, matchups to watch and my predicted lineup below…
*When Omar Gonzalez takes the field at Estadio Tecnológico, he play within the same lines as his uncle Lalo Rodriguez Plata, I spoke to both about Gonzalez's connections to Monterrey.
*Juninho is fully fit and ready to participate in Wednesday's match.
* Landon Donovan may end up playing extended minutes for the LA Galaxy in their do-or-die match up and Donovan spoke at length about what is needed for LA to advance: goals and leadership.
*Michael Stephens struggled late in LA's 2-1 defeat, but he's eager to return to form if called upon in the second leg.
*Jose Villarreal succeeded in Mexico with the U.S. Under-20 squad, but will that translate to Wednesday's match?
*Lastly, read my Three Points to the game.
OMAR GONZALEZ vs. ALDO DE NIGRIS
Old friends turned adversaries; Gonzalez will need one of the best games of his career to handle De Nigris and his strike partner Humberto Suazo. Gonzalez and the Galaxy backline had success against Monterrey in the first leg, but total focus and concentration will be needed for LA to wrap up the Rayados attack.
The veteran internationals tasseled repeatedly in the first leg, but for the Galaxy to advance over Monterrey, they will need a big game from Keane. The Irishman's guile tested Bastanta several times in the first leg, but the Argentine will be a formidable foe for Keane.
TODD DUNIVANT vs. CESAR DELGADO
Delgado looks poised to start for Los Rayados after a strong game in the first leg. As a second half substitute, the Argentine was influential in creating a goal for LA and left back Todd Dunivant will have a major test if he is to shut down the winger.
Cudicini; DeLaGarza, Gonzalez, Leonardo, Dunivant; Franklin, Juninho, Sarvas, Magee; Donovan, Keane
MONTERREY, Mexico -- It's game day in Monterrey and to get you prepared, LAGalaxy.com videographer Paolo Ferrari has provided this preview video, which was produced following the LA Galaxy's final training session on Tuesday.
My own piece from training which emphasized the triple digit temperatures that LA trained in at the Estadio Tecnológico, can be found here. Luckily for the Galaxy, the forecast calls for temperatures in the mid-70's during the game and 74 degrees at kick off.
Watch the video below...
MONTERREY, Mexico -- In preparation for Wednesday night's CONCACAF Champions League Semifinal second leg between the LA Galaxy and C.F. Monterrey, I spoke to a pair of notable soccer podcasts to preview the important match.
First up, I spoke to Jason Davis' "American Soccer Morning" podcast on the North American Soccer Network. Don't just listen to my interview as Davis also interviews former LA Galaxy defender and current Hammarby IF manager Gregg Berhalter about his club's prospects for the upcoming season.
Lastly, I joined MLSsoccer.com's "March to the Match" alongside Nicolas Rosano to preview the Galaxy's CCL tie.

''Made by ace winemaker David Guimaraens, this foot-trodden pink Port is cherry-infused stuff, super sweet and approachable. Lots of cherry cola sweetness, lots of bubblegum and lifted flavours. But what's not to like in a delicious wine, ideal served over ice perhaps – or would it work topped up with soda as a summery long drink."

Tree Lights, Holiday Flowers Bring in Holiday Season
The Historic Samuel Cupples House kicked off the holiday season Dec. 8 with the annual "Holiday Rooms in Bloom" and the lighting of the Cupples House Christmas tree.
"Holiday Rooms in Bloom" is an annual event where florists select a room in the house to decorate however they please. The event showcases the florists' creativity and allows them to work outside of their normal realm.
"It's a way to see florists top each other as they get more creative each year," said Kathy Williams, who, along with her husband Warren, has been coming to the event for the past three years.
This year, NewsChannel 5's Heidi Glaus lit the Christmas tree during a live 6 p.m. news broadcast.

Also at the event was live music provided by the Fine Arts department's music honor society, as well as a performance from Saint Louis University's music group Decadence. Nearly 150 people were present for the opening night and tree lighting, and a total of almost 600 visited the house by the end of the weekend.
While there was no admission charged for "Holiday Rooms in Bloom," visitors were encouraged to bring gifts to benefit the St. Francis Xavier College Church, and by Sunday evening, bags of hats, scarves, gloves and coats were flowing from underneath the Cupples House tree.

The World's First Performance Automotive Computer
Introducing HyperPAC, the world's first Performance Automotive Computer, packed with FIVE distinct programs...Performance Tuning, Drag Strip, Dynamometer, Engine Monitor, and Diagnostics, with more exciting new software programs on the way.
Based on years of dynamometer-developed engine tuning and track testing experience, Hypertech® designed the HyperPAC to be so easy to operate that no instruction book is really needed. Simply make a run and the HyperPAC automatically records, calculates, and displays the performance data that every enthusiast wants and needs to see.
The touch screen shows only the buttons that apply to the current screen, eliminating cumbersome button combinations and multiple operations to navigate through programs. A "Smart Keyboard" or number pad screen appears automatically, only when needed to enter notes or other information.
The user can select between a blue or white, high-resolution 3" x 4" touch screen that provides an easy-to-navigate, user-friendly interface. Just mount the HyperPAC in a convenient place, connect the cable to the vehicle's diagnostic port, press the "power on" button, and choose a program from the Main Menu. That's all there is to it!

Fair enough.
Fair enough.
Weight cutting is a problem in any sport, but it's so entrenched, from junior-varsity through collegiate levels that it won't go away. And it's getting worse, not better.
I often wonder why Vitor gets sooooo much shit about this, and guys like sonnen and a host of other fighters get a pass.Jon Jones touched on this subject also when he was dealing with Chael. TRT would actually be perfect if they weren't competing in one of the toughest sport in the world.
That being said, if Jones keeps cutting from 230ish to make LHW, I'm betting he changes his stance on TRT in about 8 years.
I'd also point out that NCAA rules don't allow for the use of any supplements. If a collegiate athlete tests hot, they can't claim the Sean Sherk defense, because it doesn't matter: the NCAA's statement is that a healthy diet, rest and exercise regimen should allow an athlete to perform at the elite level. Clearly, the AC's don't adopt this policy.
So simply drawing a line about TRT can be seen as pretty arbitrary. If lines are going to be drawn, I'd go with NCAA standards...but then it would be hard to peddle muscle milk and hydroxycut and the rest of the garbage that orgs and fighters get sponsorship money from.
I'm not quick to give anyone a pass, but I find it amusing that some fighters are more vilified than others.I say TRT = steroids, because you're still injecting an anabolic steroid, just because WADA has tougher criteria, it doesn't change that. Yes sure, there is difference between use and abuse but I contend that too often that line gets blurred, especially in MMA, while people like you are quick to give MMA athletes a pass. I guess I have a different perspective because I come from other sports, so I am naturally more skeptical.
If it was up to me, I'd only grant TRT exemptions to anyone willing to pay out of pocket for weekly tests to illustrate that there can't be abuse. Even though I despise zuffa's business practices for the most part, I feel that the burden should be placed on the athlete, not on the org.
TRT can be steroids. It can be cheating. It often is. But not always. Use does not always equate to abuse.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
Lets say, hypothetically, that I have low testosterone levels and was prescribed TRT as treatment, not long after I'm on TRT I join a Semi-pro football team. Am I a cheater? In my opinion no, because without TRT I would be playing with a handicap that other players are not suffering from.
The point to my post was that TRT is a medication, and there are certain situations that it's use should be exempted, just as insulin. I am not saying that TRT is as important to those with testosterone deficiency as insulin is to diabetics, obviously it is not. What I am saying is, if they still allow the use of insulin even though some athletes have abused it, then they should allow TRT even if some have abused it.
It would be wrong to say to one group of fighters "You can still use your medication, even though some have abused it" and then turn around and say to a different group of fighters "You aren't allowed to use your medication, because some fighters have abused it"
The problem is, I allowed my self to get off topic, I wasn't defending Vitor, to be honest I think you hit it right on the button when you said that his levels are low because of abuse of steroids in the past. I was defending the legitimate use of TRT because you guys were saying that TRT is always wrong and never acceptable, period, and I disagree with you, and so does the NSAC.

Riv, to say that Vitor is more vilified than Chael over the issue of TRT, is extremely far fetched.
Outside of me, and maybe 2 or 3 other posters, everyone praises Vitor and thinks he's amazing.

That's not true at all.
People marvel at his recent accomplishments but most openly admit his transgressions. The change in his skillset and patience in striking is what makes people say wow.
I know he got popped. I know his physique is insane and has been unbelievable at times. I also know 4-oht was banned in 04-05 and he got hit in 06 and many supplements still carried the compound. Do some research and you will see. Did he know it was dirty? Maybe, but if you know jack shit about steroids there are many many many stronger and more difficult substances that actually work. It's practically a waste and was placed on the banned list for anabolic properties but carries 35% less effectiveness than testosterone itself and stays in the system about the same time if not longer at 2-3 weeks.
You say shark I say hey man, Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
Example: It took the FDA over a decade to approve Stevia (a plant extract sweetener) due to constant lobbying as well as doctored studies presented from the corporations that produce Aspartame, Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium, Sacchrain, Sorbitol/Mannitol and Xylitol. The FDA can be used as a mechanism in favor of those who are currently dominating an industry, be it pharma or food. The FDA has nothing to do with sanctioning athletics.
Belfort got popped for using over-the-counter supplements like you get at GNC, unlike Bonnar and Leben who were popped for Stanzolol. Go ahead and continue your self-righteous indignation, Sakara. An amusing act, it is.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 14 March 2013 08:00AM
Passers-by could easily mistake the office for a furniture store. Wondering if the front tables are made of Northern Adobe wood.
Once inside, it's clear that the space is not a furniture store (although the tables are, in fact, Northern Adobe wood). No furniture store would have a fully stocked kitchen with a giant frying pan in the centre. Nor would there be a woman making waffles at the front counter.
Advertising agencies are often envisioned as corner offices and cubicles. Not a warehouse space where, on every floor, people sit side by side at long tables. Where they lie on mismatched couches, feet propped on the armrests, laptops in hand. Where employees line the kitchen counters eating toast and talking about things such as "briefs", "visuals" and "copy". It takes a minute to realise these conversations are meetings. Actual meetings where business gets done.
Large bowls of salad appear in the kitchen around noon. People seem to just know the salads are there and file down the stairs instantly.
Suddenly, the lights dim. A giant screen shoots from the wall. Everyone gathers on the bleachers for a special viewing of work.
They see a commercial where people harass Michael Bolton. They learn about a whisky company and see the packaging that was designed.
There seem to be a lot of Swedish people in the office. They say something about the space being designed to make people feel comfortable. How this comfort builds a culture of collaboration. Then one of them says something in Swedish that makes them laugh hysterically.
Passers-by might question, after viewing this office, that their notion of advertising had been wrong. If the point of an agency was not simply to sell things, but to make the world a more interesting place. To build a space so bizarre, strangers walk in off the street and ask: "Where am I?"

The Migration Policy Institute celebrated its first decade as the authoritative, unimpeachable resource on immigration and immigrant integration analysis and policy design in the United States and internationally.
MPI Senior Fellow Doris Meissner discusses U.S. immigration policy during the Fireside Forum on Foreign Policy at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The other participants are Christine Neumann-Ortiz, Executive Director of Voces de la Frontera and Douglas Savage, Assistant Director of the Institute of World Affairs, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
This Council Statement for the fifth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration captures key elements of deliberations on the best ways to bring greater order and legality to migration, border management, and labor market systems through transatlantic cooperation.
While policymakers are under increasing pressure to reduce illegal immigration, the estimated population of unauthorized immigrants in EU-15 countries has declined since 2002. European governments are collaborating on the management of their external borders, as this report details, discussing the detected and estimated scope of irregular migration in the European Union.
Though contentious, regularization (referred to in the U.S. context as legalization) remains a frequently utilized policy tool to address the European Union's unauthorized immigrant population. Since 1996, more than 5 million people have been regularized through a variety of methods, as this Insight details.
This final report summarizes and reflects upon the key findings of the Improving EU and U.S. Immigration Systems: Learning from Experience comparative research project undertaken by MPI and the European University Institute through a grant from the European Commission.
This Council Statement from the sixth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration provides an overview of the Council's discussions on how states can work together to move beyond the mantra of "global governance," and begin taking concrete actions in pursuit of a shared agenda of safe, secure, legal, and orderly migration.
With the ten year anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks approaching, the Migration Policy Institute held a conference call to discuss the most significant changes that have occurred in the immigration arena in the decade since the attacks.
