Brooklyn Nets (9-4) at Boston Celtics (8-6), 7:30 p.m.
(Sports Network) - In what could be the passing of the torch in the Atlantic
Division, the suddenly-popular Brooklyn Nets are set to square off with the
veteran Boston Celtics Wednesday in a matchup from TD Garden.
Brooklyn completed a perfect three-game homestand with a 96-89 overtime
victory against the local New York Knicks Monday night. Brook Lopez finished
with 22 points and 11 rebounds, while Deron Williams chipped in 16 points and
14 assists to lead the Nets to their eighth win in 10 tries.
"I'm glad we rewarded our fans with a victory," Nets head coach Avery Johnson
said. "Every time some sort of Knicks contingency started to cheer, our fans
got louder."
Gerald Wallace and Jerry Stackhouse scored 16 and 14 points, respectively, for
Brooklyn, which is 7-1 at new Barclays Center. The Nets are 6-1 against the
East this season and share first place in the Atlantic with the Knicks.
Defense has been key for the Nets, who have held their opponents to under 40
points in the second half in each of the past three games. Brooklyn is
allowing just 91.3 ppg this season -- the second-lowest in the NBA -- and owns
an 8-1 mark when keeping opponents under 100 points.
Brooklyn is 4-0 when scoring 100-plus points and will begin a three-game road
trip Wednesday against Boston, Orlando and Miami.
Meanwhile, the Celtics have won two in a row since losing three of four games
and are coming off Sunday's 116-110 overtime triumph at Orlando.
Kevin Garnett led the charge with 24 points and 10 rebounds for Boston, which
shot 44.8 percent from the floor and got 23 points from Paul Pierce. Rajon
Rondo had 15 points, 16 assists. nine rebounds and two steals in the win.
The Celtics, champions of the Atlantic Division in each of the past five
seasons, outscored the Magic 14-8 in the extra period.
"We let them back in the game so we had to find a way to win," Pierce said.
"That was what it was all about, finding a way to win. We were not feeling
sorry for ourselves by giving up a pretty big lead. We had to grind it out.
That is what we did."
Brandon Bass finished with 13 points and 12 boards for Boston.
Rondo extended his streak of at least 10 assists in a game to 37, matching
John Stockton's 37-game run from Feb. 27-Nov. 29, 1989. Magic Johnson holds
the record at 46 games from April 13, 1983-Feb. 28, 1984.
Garnett will tie Celtics legend John Havlicek (1,270) tonight for 18th place
on the all-time games played list.
The Celtics will host the Portland Trail Blazers Friday and are 4-3 in
Beantown. They recently lost to the Nets 102-97 back on Nov. 15 in Brooklyn,
but have won 18 of the last 21 meetings between the teams. The Nets have lost
four in a row and nine of 10 at TD Garden.

Benson boy remains hospitalized after crashBy Brent Curtis
staff writer | January 28,2014A 10-year-old Benson boy remains hospitalized in serious condition Monday while Vermont State Police continue to search for clues to the cause of the snowmobile crash that injured the youth and killed a man riding with him.
Brian Norton suffered internal and lower extremity injuries when the snowmobile he was riding on near Trinity Farm in Benson on Sunday crashed into the side of a tractor-trailer truck driving on Route 22A.
Forty-eight-year-old Mark Lussier of Benson, who police say was sitting behind Norton on a 1994 Polaris snowmobile while trying to give the boy a lesson in operating the machine, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Brian was taken by DHART helicopter to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H., where he was listed in serious condition Monday evening.
The cause of the crash remains unclear.
State Police Trooper Stephanie Shaw and Sgt. Mark Perkins said that Lussier, who was described as a friend of Brians family, was trying to give the boy a lesson in operating a snowmobile. Lussier, who Perkins described as an experienced snowmobile rider, was sitting behind the boy and helping him to operate the machine. Brian was wearing a helmet while Lussier was not, police said.
While riding across the lawn at 5442 Route 22A Sunday afternoon, the sled veered off the property and over a snowbank that borders the road. The snowmobile launched into the air and collided with the truck roughly 5 feet up the side of the trailer.
The driver of the tractor trailer, 58-year-old Christopher Fionda of Swanton, was uninjured in the crash. Perkins said Monday Fionda saw the snowmobile coming toward the road and tried to swerve but could not avoid the collision.
What caused the snowmobile to veer into the road remained a mystery Monday.
Police say alcohol and drugs were not a factor in the crash. A mechanical defect with the snowmobile has not been ruled out although Perkins said police have not yet arranged to have the heavily damaged remains of the vehicle examined.
Perkins said police were also conducting interviews with other witnesses to the crash.
A dozen police, fire and ambulance crews responded to the scene Sunday including state police, and police from Fair Haven and Castleton; firefighters from Benson, Fair Haven, West Haven and Orwell and emergency crews from Benson, Fair Haven, Orwell and Regional Ambulance Service. Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles was also called to the scene.
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call state police at 773-9101.

Calon wrote:Pet Peeves: Germs! why the hell do they do it?
I made a career out of germs! Although now I've moved away from the dangerous ones, and towards the beneficial ones.
Moderators: Tonyblack, Jason, Toothy
Calon wrote:Pet Peeves: Germs! why the hell do they do it?
The story behind Rincewind's name goes back to 1924, when J. B. Morton took over authorship of the column 'By The Way' in the Daily Express, a London newspaper.
He inherited the pseudonym 'Beachcomber' from his predecessors on the job (the column had existed since 1917), but he was to make that name forever his own by virtue of his astonishing output and success: Morton wrote the column for over 50 years, six times a week, until 1965 when the column became a weekly feature, and continued to the last column in November 1975.
Beachcomber/Morton used an eccentric cast of regular characters in his sketches, which frequently caricatured self-important and highbrow public figures. One continual theme was the silliness of the law courts, featuring amongst others Mr Justice Cocklecarrot and the twelve Red-Bearded Dwarves. In one sketch, the names of those dwarfs were given as Sophus Barkayo-Tong, Amaninter Axling, Farjole Merrybody, Guttergorm Guttergormpton, Badly Oronparser, Cleveland Zackhouse, Molonay Tubilderborst, Edeledel Edel, Scorpion de Rooftrouser, Listenis Youghaupt, Frums Gillygottle, and, wait for it: Churm Rincewind.
Terry says:
"I read of lot of Beachcomber in second-hand collections when I was around 13. Dave Langford pointed out the origin of Rincewind a few years ago, and I went back through all the books and found the name and thought, oh, blast, that's where it came from. And then I thought, what the hell, anyway."
Tonyblack wrote:We need more of these because I'm nosy.

Knoll Modern Furniture
From sleek office chairs to stylish loveseats, Knoll Inc.'s forward-thinking designs make modern living a breeze. Take your pick from Knoll furniture pieces and let the simple, clean designs give your space an updated look. View All Knoll Products
Free Knoll Swatches Available.Read the Brand Story
Brand Beginnings Knoll was founded in 1938 by Hans and Florence Knoll who sought to create new types of furniture and environments for the home and workplace. Their approach was to join craftsmanship with technology through the use of design and to create beautiful home furnishings that stood the test of time visually, functionally and practically. The pair sought out designers willing to change the landscape of modern design, daring to ask how furniture could work better. These landmark collaborations, with pioneering modernists like Eero Saarinen, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Harry Bertoia and Richard Schultz built a brand that today contains many of the hallmarks of modern design.
Knoll Today Knoll enjoys brand recognition throughout the world for its modern classics as well as groundbreaking new products formulated under new deigner partnerships. Few companies can match the array of Knoll products, which combine a modernist aesthetic with residential appeal. This point of view nurtured by Florence Knoll, has become the trademark of Knoll design. Today, it connects to a new generation seeking workplaces and homes that are comfortable for and beautiful for everyday living.
A Signature Piece The highly coveted Barcelona® Chair is, with little doubt, the signature Knoll piece. Designed in 1929 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, it is one of the most recognized objects of the last century, and an icon of the modern movement. Skilled craftsman construct this exquisite chair by hand every day. From leather produced from a single cowhide, 40 individual leather panels are cut, hand-welted, and hand-tufted with leather buttons to upholster the chair. Premium cushions are highly resilient with a down-like softness that surrounds the sitter in luxurious comfort. Cushions are suspended by upholstery straps in cowhide belting leather over a metal frame that is hand-ground and hand-buffed to a mirror finish. Meticulously detailed, Barcelona continues to appeal to customers worldwide some 85 years after its introduction.
Why Knoll? The Knoll names offers a rich design history – a legacy of iconic designers and inventive new collaborations. Their focus on quality and responsible manufacturing means that each piece transcends multiple generations in both use and appeal. Knoll offers furniture, accessories, textiles, felts and leathers that stimulate the senses and allow you to express who you are and what you value. They take great pride in creating the best possible product and the happiest possible customer.

At the School of Mines, music is interwoven into our science and engineering curriculum, allowing students to flourish in a diverse environment rich with talent, knowledge, and passion. While the connection between music and science has always been observed, studies in neuroscience have now validated the so-called Mozart Effect,
proving that music study enhances the brain's ability to adapt, change, and holistically
synthesize multiple thought processes. In other words, studying music helps one learn. Furthermore, music-making sparks the imagination, demands innovation, develops rigorous self-discipline and intellectual flexibility – skills integral to success in every field.Our music ensemble courses and and other offerings challenge you to think creatively and develop greater musical understandings through the study and performance of all varieties of music, while gaining invaluable teaming and communication skills that will serve you well throughout your chosen career.You'll perform in music ensembles at conferences, competitions, and festivals around the world, and receive personalized instruction from faculty renowned and respected for their contributions to the music profession.Music activities are housed in the Music Center, located in one of the most historic buildings on campus, currently being renovated, on the southeast corner of the campus quadrangle. A focal point of campus life, the Music Center hosts concerts, recitals, classes, rehearsal rooms, and social events such as Open Mic and Karoake nights.For more information, contact the music office at (605) 394-2433 or any of the faculty members linked on these pages.

Which international player in NBA do you like best? Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Yao Ming, Pau Gasol, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Andrei Kirilenko, or who else?
My favorite is Steve Nash!
Im going with Tony parker. I just love his style of play. He is what a guard should be. Cant go wrong with steve nash though.
Hard to picture Steve Nash being international player being from the island of Victoria which is right off the coast of Washington but it is Canada none the less. Im going with Dirk becuase he has been one of the most consisent players this past decade. Much like Tim Duncan never really getting the hype but just very fundamental.
Rudy Fernandez or Nic Batum from the Blazers!!!!!!!!!!!
Andrew Bogut of the bucks. He's gonna be big in a few years, he's already pretty much carried his team to playoff contention.
No, Brandon Jennings and John Salmons are the ones who are bringing the Bucks to playoff contention.They ,at least, went on a 5-0 win streak when Salmons joined the Bucks. Why didn't they have a win streak that long before? Because they didn't have John Salmons.
Steve Nash
Nash was born in Joannesburg, South Africa.
Fair enough but the fact that bogut's starting to hit his stride is a large part of their success as well. Not everyone can just get to the NBA and immediately be awesome you know.
mine is tim duncan he was born in the virgin islands
Hilario Nene
my faves are the big 3 from the spurs.manu,tony,tim
i would have to say that the big three up in san antonio have been the most sucessful but my favorite has to be dirk nowitzki because hes the best shooting 7 footer of all time and im a shooter so u have to admire that
I have to go with Kyrie Irving from Melbourne, Australia. Love the way he plays and I like the Cavs.

This statement may not mean much right now, but the future of Mississippi State baseball looks very bright.
The season for the Bulldogs came to an abrupt and disappointing end last weekend down at the Tallahassee (Fla.) Regional.
Even though MSU was only able to win one of the three games played at the tournament hosted by Florida State, it can be considered a successful season.
The Bulldogs were able to take their season one step further in 2011 as they won the Atlanta Regional and went on to compete against Florida at the Gainesville Super Regional, but this season has its own set of noteworthy accomplishments.
MSU won 40 games in a season for the first time since 2005 and it won the Southeastern Conference Tournament championship. That's a couple of positive things to build on.
There are some experiences the Bulldogs went through during the year that will be a benefit on down the line.
Matthew Britton, Wes Rea, Demarcus Henderson, Tyler Fullerton, Brandon Woodruff, Ross Mitchell, Jacob Lindgren and Jonathan Holder are freshmen or redshirt freshmen that played vital roles for MSU during the season. We also tend to forget that Adam Frazier, the SEC Tournament Most Valuble Player, is only a sophomore.
If those Bulldogs are able to improve from 2012 to 2013 as they were able to do this year, they should continue to develop into very good players.
It's going to be tough for MSU to replace pitchers like Chris Stratton and Caleb Reed.
Stratton was a starter that gave the team 11 victories and was the Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Year, while Reed was solid out of the bullpen with nine saves. Reed was a senior on the staff, while Stratton, a junior, was drafted in the first round (20th overall pick) by the San Francisco Giants on Monday. He is expected to sign a contract very soon.
The Bulldogs appear to have plenty of arms to fill the void. Holder has proven he can be effective in a closer role, while Kendall Graveman, Evan Mitchell, Woodruff and others can be plugged into starting spots. MSU head coach John Cohen and pitching coach Butch Thompson have done a good job of molding the staff and that can be expected to continue.
A huge question mark going into next season will be the consistency of the offense.
There were some games during the season where the Bulldogs gave enough run support to win games, but there were others (a 2-0 loss to Central Arkansas in the regular season and 5-0 loss to Samford in the regional come to mind) that they didn't get anything done.
With a year to learn and grow, State's offense should make strides to round more into the form needed to produce enough scoring to win close games.
Although the Bulldogs are down that they weren't the fifth team out of the SEC to play in a super regional this weekend, they can be encouraged that their best baseball may be ahead.

The UFC on FOX 9 card set to take place in Sacramento on Dec. 14 continues to take shake, as the UFC announced Sunday that Pat Healy and Jamie Varner will square off in a lightweight battle.
Varner has gone 2-2 since coming to the UFC in 2012, including a surprising upset victory over Edson Barboza at UFC 146 in a replacement role. Since then he has traded wins and losses, with his last two fights -- against Melvin Guillard and Glieson Tibau -- having gon to split decisions. He was on the wrong end of the scorecards in his outing against Tibau at UFC 164 in Milwaukee.
As for Healy, he has had a checkered run in the UFC since the Strikeforce buyout. He had a dominant victory over Jim Miller, in which he was awarded submission and fight of the night honors, converted into a "no contest" after he tested positive for marijuana at UFC 159. In his follow-up fight against upstart Dagestani fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, Healy lost a one-sided unanimous decision.

My dear friends & colleagues,
It gives me great pleasure to be with you today to celebrate this very special day of our 20th Anniversary. Anniversaries are all about getting together to rejoice, to celebrate and to feel the strength of our unity. They are also about nostalgia, looking back at happy, emotional memories, at our birth - how it all began for us.
It was one of the most emotional days for all of us that Sunday afternoon 18th April 1993, when our first Boeing 737-300 aircraft leased from Ansette World, landed in Mumbai. Our friend, well-wisher and father of civil aviation in India, the great Mr. J. R. D. Tata and our then Chief Minister the Hon'ble Mr. Sharad Pawar honored us all by gracing the occasion. Their presence had made the day one of the most memorable in the history of our airline and I remember how I and all of us had been deeply touched and moved.
On Wednesday 5th May 1993, exactly 20 years ago, our first flight 9W 3231, operated by Capt. Tom Leach and First Officer R. I. Singh, took off from Mumbai at 5.50 am and landed on schedule at 0650 hours in Ahmedabad. In those days 20 years ago, we were a small but growing organization. It is good to recall our humble beginnings and even better to know that we have never ever taken our success for granted. Instead we have worked harder to retain our customers' support with dedication, discipline, efficiency and humility. This has been our culture and this culture of quiet humility will carry us forward in the future. One fact we can take pride in is, that our customers became greatly excited at the transformation of their air travel experience across India. Within weeks, thanks to your outstanding service delivery on ground and in the air, they had made Jet Airways their most preferred domestic carrier in India.
In 2004, on Friday the 23rd of March, we added our first international route in the SAARC region, as Capt. N. P. Puri and Capt. D. B. Padhye operated 9W-4101 on the Chennai-Colombo route. The service was airborne 11.40 am Chennai and landed in Colombo at six minutes past noon. Today with our young mixed fleet of wide and narrow-bodied equipment of Boeing and Airbus, we cover over 20 major global markets frequently patronized by Indians and are a recognized brand amongst Indian communities worldwide. Our strategic vision for the future is to connect our domestic network with the world – form a bridge between east and west. As you are aware, we have signed agreements with Etihad Airways regarding their taking 24% stake in the Company. We will expand and transform our home Hubs of Mumbai and Delhi into true connecting hubs, to provide Indian and international customers with efficient and extensive travel choices. And we will continue to stay focused on our roots, the Indian domestic market. We will add more frequencies and provide more connectivity on our regional routes within India, with plans to include more cities in India in our network. Today, as our company moves into its third decade, it is time for us to re-group, gather our strength and start another push to capture a rightful portion of this growing market.
This growth would not be possible without the support of enlightened Government policies. Our deep respects and thanks go out to the statesmanship and vision of our Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh whose far-sightedness in 1991 as the then Honorable Minister of Finance, ushered in the revolution of privatization and recently the FDI in civil aviation. History will record the immense benefit resulting from these visionary actions that have transformed the lives of millions, creating jobs, presenting unique and enriching career options, making air travel accessible to the vast majority of our citizens, opening up our beautiful country to global tourists, bringing in its wake a tremendous contribution to the overall economic benefit of our nation. Our thanks go out also to the Honorable Minister of Civil Aviation – Shri Ajit Singhji, the Ministry of Civil Aviation, to the Airports Authority of India, Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, officials of Customs, Immigration, and all officials at our airports and connected divisions who have so galvanized the civil aviation sector in India. I would also like here to thank the media for their fair and robust support and coverage given to our growth story since inception 20 years ago.
Today belongs to each one of you, the Jet Airways family. It has been your loyalty, dedication and passion for outstanding service delivery, that have given Jet Airways the stature we cherish today as a world-class airline - a stature enjoyed by few, envied by many. It has been your productivity, performance and success that have drawn the admiration and attention of some of the world's leading carriers and set service standards which will remain benchmarks for them to try and follow. I well know how many man-hours each of you have loyally and willingly put in, giving our Airline a unique priority in your lives. Across our network, on the ground, in the skies, our ground staff, our flight dispatch teams, our call centre, our cabin crew, our pilots, our engineers, our maintenance folk, our secretaries, our office assistants, our security staff, admin staff, medical teams, training staff, every single one of you have been doing such a selfless tremendous job day by day, year after year. You have all worked hard and intelligently in fair weather or foul, through floods, hot, humid days, snow storms, civil disturbances, across time zones, over festive holidays. You have never flagged in your selfless devotion to duty. For this my heartfelt thanks.
Standing solid behind each of you have been your families, your devoted spouses, children, elders, always waiting for your return from duty, no matter how late, no matter which anniversary, birthday, festive day, holiday you may have missed in the line of duty. To each and every member of your family I dedicate this 20th anniversary of ours, made possible by their wonderful understanding and support. Neeta I thank you, for being a true friend, wife and strongest support I can ever hope to get. I also thank our children, Namrata and Nivaan for accepting my long absences and long hours at the office and always encouraging my efforts with smiles. Wives, spouses and children of all, I honor and salute you – you are always remembered gratefully.
It would be remiss of me not to recognize and express my gratitude for the wonderful support of our Board members, whose tireless efforts are behind our success. My sincere thanks also go out to our Bankers, to our aircraft manufacturers Boeing, Airbus and ATR, to our engine manufacturers GE, Rolls Royce, Pratt & Whitney, to MIAL, DIAL, to our suppliers and our caterers.
Today let us also not forget the bedrock of our success – our customers across India, our fellow-Indians living and working worldwide and our wonderful and increasing number of global customers. Our pride of achievement today must increase our sense of gratitude and humility – gratitude to our customers for two decades of their incredible support and humility to know and always remember that they have chosen to fly with us when they have always had a choice.
Finally before I conclude, I would like to say that the objectives of any great enterprise are to offer a great product and service and with these, to make money. No doubt the global financial climate is tough and challenging. But with your superb loyalty, support and dedication, we will together negotiate the tough future in uncompromising pursuit of profit through excellence and together forge a brilliant future. We are all partners in this task and I have absolutely no doubt that each and every one of you, will rise to the challenge of ensuring that our partnership will be enduring, successful and very profitable.
With these words, I once again congratulate, felicitate and thank each and every one of you and your dear families for your combined dedication to Jet Airways. Keep up this wonderful work ethic, enjoy this landmark day and let us together create many more such landmarks of success as we forge ahead.

In the latest edition of View from the Booth, Cobi Jones and Joe Tutino analyze the LA Galaxy's match with the New England Revolution
Watch the video below...
The U.S. National Team won't be traveling to Southern California during their Gold Cup campaign, but you'll have a chance to see them if you take a quick to trip down to San Diego on July 5.
The U.S. will complete their preparations for the Gold Cup with a match against Guatemala on July 5 at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium. The match may include Galaxy forward Landon Donovan, who was named to the U.S. team's preliminary roster on Friday.
"This is a very important opportunity for us to get in a good game before the start of the Gold Cup," said U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann in a statement. "It is our goal to win the tournament, and the chance to play Guatemala will be good preparation for our group. We are thrilled to get back to San Diego which has such an outstanding soccer tradition."
Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez were named by U.S. National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann to the nation's preliminary roster for the 2013 Gold Cup, CONCACAF announced on Friday.
Donovan last played for the U.S. on August 15, 2012 in U.S. 1-0 friendly victory over Mexico while Gonzalez is currently on U.S. National Team duty.
The complete U.S. preliminary squad as well as those for the rest of the competing nations can be found here.
What are your thoughts about Donovan and Gonzalez being named to the preliminary roster? Hope that he returns to the U.S.? Hope that he stays with the Galaxy?
Share your thoughts below.
LA Galaxy aggressive yet patient in pursuit of third Designated Player says club President Chris Klein
Yes, the LA Galaxy are still looking for a Designated Player, but does the club need one right away? No.
In a brief recent conversation that I had with Galaxy President Chris Klein, I asked about the club's pursuit to fill their vacant third Designated Player spot. While Klein admits that the team is still searching for a player to fill that void, they're searching for the right fit, rather than the quick one.
"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," Chris Klein recently told LA Galaxy Insider.
Klein also spoke to Joe Tutino's Galaxy All-Access Podcast and reiterated his position while also sheding some light on the club's recent connections to English midfielder Frank Lampard, who recently signed a one-year contract extention with Chelsea.
"We are going to be aggressive in the Designated Player market," Klein told the Galaxy All-Access Podcast. "Frank Lampard's name had been talked about and I think that, at the end of the day, he wanted to stay in a club where he's a legend. The coach [Jose Mourinho] that he's very close to is rumored to be coming back to the club and I think that played into a decision for him to sign another year at Chelsea. We never had anything done with Frank Lampard. He was one of many that we considered and continue to consider.
"We will be patient. We feel no need to sign a Designated Player because we think that have to. We'd like to add one or two pieces to our team. I think that if you look at our group, we have a very solid group and we will be fine going forward. In saying that, if we do come to an agreement with one player that we have been looking at then we will be excited to do so, but we're not going to rush into anything."
Listen to Klein's complete interview with Tutino below…
The MLS Displcinary Committee added a game to the suspension of Seattle Sounders FC midfielder Shalrie Joseph for his red card foul on LA Galaxy midfielder Marcelo Sarvas in the 87th minute of LA's 4-0 win over Seattle on Wednesday.
Joseph will now miss Seattle's next two matches: Saturday at Chivas USA and June 8 against Vancovuer Whitecaps FC. The veteran midfielder was particularly nasty during the Sounders defeat as Sarvas was left with multiple visible marks on his face after his encounter with Joseph.
Joseph's foul can be seen below.
Good Morning from Boston!
Above is a photo that I snapped this morning of a sweltering Boston -- the temperatures are expected to reach the low 90s -- overlooking the Charles River.
On the right you can see the city of Cambridge, which is all aflutter after the commencement at Harvard University on Thursday. In the center is the Harvard bridge which connects Cambridge with the Boston neighborhood of Back Bay. As we slide to the right, you can see Boston University.
Now that our little tour of Boston is complete, a few notable notes and links from the morning:
*Via Twitter, LA Galaxy defender A.J. DeLaGarza
*Club Tijuana crashed out of the Copa Libertadores on Thursday with a 2-2 draw to Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro.
*Chivas USA Academy director Sacha van der Most will serve as Chivas USA's head coach for Saturday's match with Seattle Sounders FC.
*Former LA Galaxy midfielder Dan Keat gave an interview in Swedish on his memories of playing with Robbie Keane and David Beckham in MLS.
The LA Galaxy are out of the U.S. Open Cup in the third round for a second straight year after falling to the Carolina RailHawks on Wednesday.
I'm calling on all your opinions about the Open Cup defeat and how that will impact the team going forward.
Vote in the poll below and share your thoughts in the comments section:
BOSTON -- The LA Galaxy arrived in Boston on Thursday to begin preparations for Sunday's match against the New England Revolution.
Before we further analyze the defeat to the RailHawks, a few notes from the past day.
*Chivas USA parted aways with colorful head coach Jose Luis Sanchez Sola also known as "Chelis" on Wednesday evening.
*The MLS All-Stars will take on AS Roma at Sporting Park in Kansas City on July 31.
*Omar Gonzalez went 90 minutes in the U.S. National Team's 4-2 defeat to Belgium in Cleveland on Wednesday.
*Meanwhile, Robbie Keane went 61 minutes for Ireland in their 1-1 draw with England at Wembley.
*The U.S. Under-20's are now 0-2-0 at the Toulon Tournament after falling 2-1 to Colombia on Thursday.
RALEIGH, N.C. -- The LA Galaxy are shipping up to Boston on Thursday as they turn the page from their "stinging" 2-0 defeat to Carolina RailHawks in U.S. Open Cup to their match against the New England Revolution on Sunday.
Above is a series of photos that I took while walking through the park at the North Carolina State Capitol. It includes monuments to the three U.S. Presidents born in North Carolina (Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson and James Polk), monuments to state officials as well as monuments to veterans of various wars including the U.S. Civil War.
A few notes from the game:
*The Galaxy have now lost each of their last three Open Cup games, dating back to a quarterfinal loss to Seattle in 2011.
*Only three teams have knocked the Galaxy out of the Open Cup in the last six years. In addition to losing to the RailHawks in the Third Round in 2012 and 2013, LA lost to Seattle in the Quarterfinals in 2010 and 2011 while they were knocked out of the tournament by Colorado in a Play-In Game in 2008 and 2009.
*The only team to beat the Galaxy more than twice in the Open Cup is Chicago, who knocked LA out of the tournament in 2000, 2003 and 2006.
*This was the 16th straight game in all competitions this season that the Galaxy had made at least one change to their starting lineup.
*Chandler Hoffman made his competitive debut for the Galaxy, coming on for Leonardo in the 78th minute.
*Kenney Walker made his first appearance of the season for LA, playing the full 90 minutes in central midfield.
*The Galaxy out shot Carolina 10-7 but had just one shot on goal, with that coming from second half substitute Gyasi Zardes.
*Zardes had a team-high three shots. No other player had more than one.
CARY, N.C. – Carolina RailHawks manager Colin Clarke addressed the media following his side's 2-0 victory over the LA Galaxy in the U.S. Open Cup Third Round.
Clarke's thoughts are below…
(On his team's performance…)
CLARKE: Delighted. It was a good performance, I thought we deserved it. I thought in the first half, we had opportunities to score and didn't take them once we got into the final third. We felt like needed to continue to play that way in the second half and we took them when they come. They had a couple of half chances, but overall I felt like we deserved it.
(On potentially having LA's number after beating them two straight years in Open Cup and while manager of Puerto Rico Islanders...)
CLARKE: "It's good when you get an opportunity against a team from MLS. The boys relished that opportunity and we've got some very good players here. We played well tonight and we deserved to win."
(On the business like attitude of his team…)
CLARKE: "The boys have been focused all week. We were a little disappointed last year that we didn't go a little further so that's something that we're looking to do this year. This tournament is very important to us and also to me because it's not just the Open Cup, it's the Lamar Hunt Open Cup. That's someone who I worked for and our president worked for him as well. He's someone who gave us a start in this game and without people like him, we wouldn't be here in the shape we're in today. It's a special tournament."
(On the players that LA brought…)
CLARKE: "They're all dangerous. That's why they play at the level that they are, but I was happy to see Zardes on the bench. He came on, he changed it. He's a presence and a young kid still learning his way, but played great last weekend and was always a threat."

Imagine if the government were responsible for looking after your best interests. How well would this work? Just ask Native Americans.
Terry Anderson, Shawn Regan 10/13/2013
In the Wall Street Journal, Terry Anderson and Shawn Regan explain how Washington rules prevent tribes from developing resources that could help lift them out of poverty.
Terry Anderson, Shawn Regan 09/27/2013
Indian reservations are hobbled by burdensome regulations and bureaucracy. Native Americans should be given the dignity they deserve and be freed from federal guardianship.
Terry Anderson 04/17/2013
The "Skywalk" project could help lift 2,100 tribal members out of poverty, but a legal dispute may have killed the goose that could lay golden eggs. Worse yet, this could stifle investment across Indian Country.
Terry Anderson 11/14/2011
The link between natural resources, institutions, and economic prosperity is nowhere more apparent than on American Indian reservations
Terry Anderson, Dominic Parker 02/24/2011
Until American Indians living on Reservations have secure property rights and a stable rule of law, they will remain isloated on islands of poverty in a sea of prosperity.

The dangerous burrow move started by Youssarian spins out of control as the group must keep an eye on a giant eagle owl. In the meantime, the newest members of the group witness their first thunderstorm while the dry season draws to a close.
Childhood's End
The saga continues as Mozart, one of the young females in the Whiskers family, is evicted by Flower. Afterwards, a sudden storm forces the Whiskers to take shelter in an empty burrow belonging to their arch rivals, the Lazuli gang.
Boys will be Boys

Divided Loyalties
When they all go out foraging for the very first time, they get separated. With such a tiny band at the home front, Flower's group struggles for survival especially her two newest pups. The rest of the group has been pushed even further away by the rival Lazuli gang.
The Good, the Bad, the Desperate
The Whiskers have split into two groups! Flower's little band of seven meerkats are struggling to make ends meet, but it isn't long before she finds the rest of the group and takes back her crown as "Queen of the Whiskers."
Daisy's Choice

An Awfully Big Adventure
Flower's third litter of pups take their first steps into the outside world. One adventurous new pup, Columbus, prematurely heads out with the adults. After his big adventure, he quickly learns the harsh realities facing the Whiskers.
The Calm Before the Storm
After a stormy night, Flower leads out the foraging gang while leaving the pups with Shakespeare. Unfortunately, she's unaware that the Lazuli are in her territory. Shakespeare and the pups are caught alone and soon attacked by the Lazuli!
Moving On

Tips for Reducing Waste During the Thanksgiving and Winter Holidays
November 15 is America Recycles Day!
Make a commitment to recycling this fall by getting involved in local events, and by making a pledge to recycle more and buy products made from recycled materials.
Grass clippings and shredded (or unshredded) leaves make excellent mulch.
Pile shredded leaves deep around your shrubbery, as well as in and around
any plants you want to overwinter in pots.
If you host a party, set the table with cloth napkins and reusable dishes, glasses, and silverware. Consider renting more formal tableware that you might not use very often. Also save and reuse party hats, decorations, and favors.
After holiday festivities, put leftovers in recyclable containers, and share them with family, friends, or others. Donate whole, untouched leftovers from parties to a local food bank or homeless shelter.
Where possible, compost leftover food scraps, leaves, and grass clippings.
Show your guests where to put recyclables such as aluminum, glass, and plastic beverage containers.
After parties, fill your dishwasher to capacity before running it. You will run fewer cycles, which saves energy.
Wash and reuse empty glass and plastic jars, milk jugs, coffee cans, dairy tubs, and other similar containers that would otherwise get thrown away. These containers can be used to store leftovers as well as buttons, nails, or other loose items.
Avoid placing hard, thick, or waxy food scraps down the drain. These materials can clog the pipes or damage garbage disposal blades and send parts of your sink to the landfill before their time.
Buy products in concentrate, bulk, or in refillable containers. Many items are available in these sizes. They reduce packaging waste and can save you money! Combine waste reducing practices, such as buying coffee in bulk and storing it in your leftover empty coffee cans.
If you going away from home for the holidays, to save energy, turn down
your thermostat and put lights on timers.
November is an excellent time of year to conduct neighborhood food or
clothing drives to help those in need.

Restructuring Chinese Enterprises: Effects of Federalism and Privatization Initiatives on Business
Robert H. McGuckin, III
Sean Dougherty
Publication Date:
January 2002
Although joining the WTO will most likely accelerate China's restructuring and liberalization, its ongoing transition to a market economy owes much of its success to market-enhancing federalism—the idea that fiscal decentralization gives local governments the incentive to improve regulatory and operating environments for both public and private enterprises. The progress of China's transition to a market economy can be assessed by how well its program of increased federalism and private ownership has affected business productivity. While privatization has been an important contributor, the shift toward federalism has been less recognized as a success factor of the Chinese reform program.
