Why was Sisko assigned to DS9?

Re: Why was Sisko assigned to DS9?
What was the original mission for Sisko and what was the original purpose of retaining Terok Nor? We know that the Cardassians used the station for ore processing, but Starfleet wasn't going to use it for that. So, before moving it to the wormhole, what was the plan for the station? Why keep Starfleet personnel up there?
Bajor did look to be a backwater location; it probably didn't rate anyone higher than a commander. Or maybe the commander was meant to get the station operational before an admiral showed up to take over (though that never happened, maybe for political reasons).

|Jordan Crawford's strange choice of socks
|04.30.13 at 11:57 am ET
WALTHAM — While his teammates waxed poetically about the focus necessary to win Wednesday's do-or-die Game 5 against the Knicks in New York, these are the socks Celtics guard Jordan Crawford chose to wear to practice on Tuesday. They have marijuana leaves on them. Nothing says playoff intensity like weed socks.
|Joe Kennedy 'proud to stand with' Jason Collins
|04.29.13 at 2:52 pm ET
Massachusetts Congressman Joe Kennedy, who roomed with former Celtics center Jason Collins at Stanford University, issued the following statement about his friend's decision to come out as the first openly gay athlete in any major American sport:
'For as long as I've known Jason Collins he has been defined by three things: his passion for the sport he loves, his unwavering integrity, and the biggest heart you will ever find. Without question or hesitation, he gives everything he's got to those of us lucky enough to be in his life. I'm proud to stand with him today and proud to call him a friend.'
Kennedy played a vital role in Collins' decision to write a Sports Illustrated article announcing his sexuality. Here's what Collins said about his Cardinal roommate:
I realized I needed to go public when Joe Kennedy, my old roommate at Stanford and now a Massachusetts congressman, told me he had just marched in Boston's 2012 Gay Pride Parade. I'm seldom jealous of others, but hearing what Joe had done filled me with envy. I was proud of him for participating but angry that as a closeted gay man I couldn't even cheer my straight friend on as a spectator. If I'd been questioned, I would have concocted half truths. What a shame to have to lie at a celebration of pride. I want to do the right thing and not hide anymore. I want to march for tolerance, acceptance and understanding. I want to take a stand and say, "Me, too."
The recent Boston Marathon bombing reinforced the notion that I shouldn't wait for the circumstances of my coming out to be perfect. Things can change in an instant, so why not live truthfully? When I told Joe a few weeks ago that I was gay, he was grateful that I trusted him. He asked me to join him in 2013. We'll be marching on June 8.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton declared on Twitter, "I'm proud to call Jason Collins a friend," in addition to issuing the following statement on his website:
|Celtics coach Doc Rivers 'proud of' Jason Collins
|04.29.13 at 2:09 pm ET
Celtics coach Doc Rivers issued this statement after former C's center Jason Collins became the first openly gay active player in major American sports:
"I am extremely happy and proud of Jason Collins. He's a pro's pro. He is the consummate professional and he is one of my favorite 'team' players I have ever coached. If you have learned anything from Jackie Robinson, it is that teammates are always the first to accept. It will be society who has to learn tolerance. One of my favorite sayings is, 'I am who I am, are whom we are, can be what I want to be. It's not up to you, it's just me being me.'"
Outing himself in this Sports Illustrated article, Collins quoted Rivers: "If you want to go quickly, go by yourself — if you want to go farther, go in a group."
As recently as three weeks ago, Rivers discussed the inevitability of an openly gay NBA player. 'There'll be a lot of talk about it, and then I think it will go away,' Rivers said before a Celtics practice on April 9, the day after he took the team to watch the "42" film about Robinson breaking baseball's color barrier.
SI's Ian Thomsen caught up with Rivers after Collins' announcement on Monday.
"He is terrific," Rivers told Thomsen. "Losing him was hard for me because I just thought he was such a great teammate and such a great guy in the locker room. That's what you want is those guys in your locker room."
|Kenyon Martin guarantees Celtics 'funeral' in Game 5
|04.29.13 at 11:25 am ET
On his way into TD Garden on Sunday, a Celtics fan who watched his team fall into a 3-0 hole in the first round admitted, "It feels like I'm going to a wake."
Celtics guard Jason Terry, who provided the sunshine in a Game 4 victory, must have felt it, too.
"The guy was mouthing off before the game," Knicks forward Kenyon Martin told the New York Daily News. "He told me, 'You're not dancing at my funeral today.'"
Terry's 18 points, including the C's final nine in their 97-90 overtime win, made true on that promise. So, Martin made his own vow to lay the Celtics to rest in Game 5.
"We're ending it Wednesday," Martin told the Daily News, requesting his teammates "wear black. Funeral colors."
|Kevin Garnett: 'It's all out from here on out'
|04.28.13 at 7:42 pm ET
Kevin Garnett isn't making any excuses for the way the Celtics played in the first three games of this series.
"We put ourselves in this 3-0 position," said Garnett after his team's 97-90 win over the Knicks. "That's not where you want to be as a team, but it's what it is. Today we fought for another day, and we'll do the same Wednesday."
Garnett grabbing 17 rebounds for the second straight game while adding 13 points on just seven shots and dishing out six assists, helping the C's avoid a sweep for the first time since 2004.
"If we want to survive and continue to play, this is what it is," said Garnett. "This is the position we put ourselves in. To continue to play, we've got to continue to win, so it's all out from here on out."
Garnett insisted their mentality never changed between Games 3 and 4. Shots started falling. That's it.
"Instead of talking, we actually came out and did it," he said after the C's scored 80 points for the first time all series. "There wasn't a lot of verbal. This is it. We were down 3-0. What else is there to say?"
|Fast Break: Jason Terry saves Celtics season
|04.28.13 at 4:12 pm ET
The Knicks erased a 20-point second-half deficit and took their first lead of the game with 78 seconds remaining on a Raymond Felton jumper. It took a 17-footer from Kevin Garnett and two Carmelo Anthony misses just to force overtime. But Jason Terry finally came up clutch, scoring the C's final nine points for a 97-90 OT victory.
Meanwhile, Paul Pierce played 50 minutes, totaling 29 points, eight rebounds and six assists to help avoid a sweep and force a Game 5 on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. Pierce, Garnett (13 points, 17 rebounds), Terry (18 points) and Jeff Green (26 points) combined for 86 of the C's 97 points.
Melo out: Without J.R. Smith to share the load, Carmelo Anthony (36 points) tried to put the Knicks on his back, but Brandon Bass had other ideas. Bass gave Anthony fits, even jawing with the MVP candidate, holding him to 10-of-35 shooting and forcing him into seven turnovers. The rest of the Knicks didn't help, shooting 34 percent from the field, but it started with a valiant effort from Bass, who fouled out in the fourth quarter.
Closing out: While the Knicks looked to close out the series, the C's just hoped to close out a quarter. And for once they did. In the second, they finished the final two minutes on a 12-3 run. Pierce, who looked cooked in Game 3, scored eight of his 17 first-half points in 72 seconds, and then assisted on Jason Terry's 16-foot jumper that beat the clock. The result? A 54-35 advantage that helped punch their plane ticket back to New York.
Green with emotion: Green's recipe for success is simple: attack, attack, attack. The guy who stands around the perimeter watching his teammates take jump shots isn't so good. In the span of 44 seconds of the second quarter, Green stampeded his way to the basket for a running five-footer and got to the line twice more on drives to the hole. In other words, he attacked, attacked, attacked, and the result was 26 points and six boards.
First mistake: The Celtics shot 50 percent from the field in the first quarter while holding the Knicks to 6-of-18 shooting and forcing six New York turnovers. And thanks to an off-balance Anthony and-1 to close out the first quarter, the C's only led 22-17. That five-point lead should've been 15. Allowing the Knicks to stick around was a dangerous game, even if the Celtics ended up taking a 19-point lead into halftime.
Handle without care: Turnovers cost the Celtics Games 1 and 3. Their offense practically must execute to perfection to compete with New York's potent attack, and coughing up opportunities before they even get off a shot compounds the problem. Yet, the Celtics committed 16 turnovers on Sunday. Dumb ones, too, like Avery Bradley throwing a pass to someone in the fourth row and Pierce's failed feeding of Bass on a fast break.
Foul mood: Midway through the second quarter, Garnett picked up his third foul from an officiating crew that featured C's coach Doc Rivers' nemesis Bill Kennedy. Minutes later, Green picked up his third, and Bass joined the club two seconds before halftime. Within five minutes of the third quarter, all three had four fouls. Of course, Anthony and Tyson Chandler had four before the fourth quarter, too. But with little faith in Chris Wilcox or Shavlik Randolph off the bench, Rivers pulled Garnett but left Green and Bass to defend the paint. Bass soon picked up his fifth, and the Knicks closed within three on an 11-1 run to end the third, setting up a nail-biting fourth quarter and overtime.
|Kevin Garnett: 'I'm going to play until it's over'
|04.27.13 at 2:05 am ET
Not even Kevin Garnett's indomitable spirit could save these Celtics on Friday night.
It's not that they didn't want to win Game 3 against the Knicks. They desperately wanted it. Not just to avoid a seemingly insurmountable 3-0 hole in the first round of these NBA Playoffs, but to mend their city's broken heart. To give Bostonians something to believe in. The Celtics just couldn't will anything better than a 90-76 defeat.
"Obviously, the result is not what we wanted," said Garnett, "but looking in the stands, seeing people drunk, having fun and high-fiving for the most part was good. It was a good two-and-a-half hour diversion if you will."
If the C's want anything beyond another short-lived diversion on Sunday, they need more than Garnett's ever-beating heart, which manufactured 12 points and 17 rebounds on a tough shooting night (5-13 FG).
"I'm going to play until it's over," said Garnett, who contributed 35 minutes in the loss. "I'm not usually broken. It's always been my mentality. It always probably will. That's what it is. I've been to the bottom before. I know what it is. I'm a fighter at the end of the day, but it takes more than one person."
Actually, it'll take every person to avoid a sweep. Three Knicks again did the damage — Carmelo Anthony, Raymond Felton and J.R. Smith combining for 56 points — and the C's lacked the firepower to respond. Jeff Green and Paul Pierce committed 10 turnovers, and everyone else was worse. Garnett's guts only get them so far.

I am about to buy my first bike. I will be riding mostly road but with some off-road, mostly flat paths.
I've been searching for a while and have decided on the Diamondback Trace.
The 2013 model has disk brakes and is $450.
The 2012 model does not have disk brakes and can be had for $370 on clearance.
Is it worth it to get the disk brakes or should I go for the older model without them and save $80?
p.s. I am 6'2" and 190 lbs. An online calculator told me that I should get the 22" frame. Does that sound good?
EDIT: I could also just spend $320 on a Diamondback Response and use all the money I'm saving to get some road tires. Would that be worthwhile?

2007 Nissan Altima • 106,000 miles
My 2007 Nissan Altima has been shaking for the past few months. When first accelerating it's more of a wobble, when I get over 50 mph it shakes - not violently but noticably. The steering wheel and the entire car. I have replaced all 4 tires, replaced a bent rim, had 2 alignments and numerous rotate and balances. I still have the same issue.

The difference is, one summer holiday he actually decided to enlist his spineless buddies, Scott Foreman and Ned Bleuer, to actually drive all the way to Hollywood and make as many desperate attempts as it takes to meet her or get arrested trying, and no setback or embarrassment (even publicly bare-ass) can stop or distract him.

I tried this recipe and everything worked out great. From the edge to the center all was good. Two things I did differently, I melted the butter in the pan, by way of the oven, and when the bars came out I ran a spatula around the edge, going from top to bottom all the way around. These brownies came out perfectly and were a hit with the kids.
Were the best brownies I have had EVER!!!!
Had a little trouble..the edges were wonderful, the center of the pan was a mess. I would recommend mixing the brown mix first then adding the remaining ingrediants. VERY VERY TASTEY!!!

TRIPOLI: Migrants have been hit hard by the spiralling conflict in Libya which could lead to more of them taking to unseaworthy boats to try to reach Italy, the International Organization for Migration warned Friday.
"IOM is concerned that the number of migrants trying to reach Italy from Libya by sea could increase in the coming weeks, as more people decide to opt for the dangerous Mediterranean crossing to escape ongoing fighting in the Libyan capital," the IOM said in a statement. Migrants either working in Libya or using the country as a jumping off point as they seek to reach Europe illegally are particularly vulnerable to the country's raging instability. "Displaced migrants trapped in Tripoli have been particularly hard hit," the intergovernmental organisation said.
A week ago, 10 Sudanese were killed when a stray missile hit a house in a besieged district of Tripoli, where an estimated 15,000 Sudanese live. IOM staff have also identified some 2,000 Pakistanis who have found refuge in a school in central Tripoli. "The place is overcrowded and everyone is anxious to be repatriated. But in the meantime, they urgently need food and medical care," said Othman Belbeisi, head of the IOM's Libya operations.
The situation of migrants in detention centres is also deteriorating, the IOM said.

Network Advisory 3: Smart, Sun restore mobile network coverage in Metro Manila
Published on Jul 17, 2014
MANILA, Philippines, July 17, 2014 – Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) and Sun Cellular have fully restored mobile network service coverage in Metro Manila as of Thursday morning. But network optimization activities are still on-going and as a result, subscribers may experience some level of degradation of voice and mobile Internet services in certain areas in the National Capital Region.
Central and Northern Luzon services for both Smart and Sun were largely unaffected. Meanwhile, mobile network service coverage in Southern Luzon and Bicol region has been restored to 80% of areas hard-hit by Typhoon Glenda. The remaining 20% with service disruption is due to prolonged commercial power outage and transmission interruptions because of fiber cuts and misaligned microwave radios.
PLDT fixed line services are also being restored as repair of damaged facilities are completed and as commercial power comes back online. Currently, 81% of fixed line network facilities have been restored.
"Our engineers have been working round the clock to ensure continuity of services. Because of our continuing efforts to improve network resiliency, we were able to quickly provide mobile phone umbrella coverage to many of the affected areas to compensate for the temporary loss of some of our cell sites," said Ramon R. Isberto, PLDT Group Spokesperson and Public Affairs Head.
"We have also quickly restored links to hard-hit provinces like Sorsogon and Catanduanes. To support our restoration efforts in these areas, we deployed Smart Satellite Services units beforehand to speed up communications among our teams," he added.
Full normalization of services will however also depend on the restoration of commercial power in the affected areas, Isberto explained.
The PLDT official asked for the cooperation of the public in speeding up restoration of communications services.
"We are requesting the public to be careful in clearing fallen trees and posts. Many of the fiber cuts affecting transmission facilities for both fixed and wireless were caused by accidental cutting of cables as fallen trees and other debris are removed after a typhoon," Isberto said.
To further assist communities and provide residents means to reconnect with loved one, Smart and Sun have deployed additional Libreng Tawag stations this morning in Capantawan, Legazpi City (Top Up Office); Tabaco City (Top Up Mobile Office, Bruselas-Clemena Bldg., Llorente St., Brgy. Quinale); Catanduanes State University, Catanduanes; Sorsosgon Capitol grounds, Sorsogon City and Masbate City (Diversion Terminal, Brgy. Pating).
Residents may continue to avail of the free call services in the following sites: Baytown Market, Brgy. San Isidro, Angono, Rizal; Tonsuya Elementary School, Malabon City.
Through Alagang Kapatid Foundation relief efforts, Smart and Sun also provided for Libreng Tawag in Morong, Bataan; Legazpi City and Sto. Domingo in Albay; and Lopez and Calauag in Quezon.
Free cellphone charging stations will also be opened up within the day in Smart and Sun cellsites in Batangas.
"We are continuously assessing the situation and will set up additional stations, if needed, given the possibility of prolonged commercial power outage in some areas." added Isberto.

With a big match on the horizon this weekend in domestic football — you know, the MLS Cup Final — we thought it high time to gather the local readers/supporters together again with another watch party at our favorite local pub, Rhinehaus in Over-the-Rhine. So if you happen to be in Cincinnati this coming Sunday (12/7), be sure to swing by to have a pint with the #Pondcast team and watch as Landon does battle with Jones in the former's last ever professional soccer match. In fact, if you are going to be in town, let us know you're attending by RSVPing here.

With tomorrow being Thanksgiving here in the States, it's the time of year when many reflect upon all of the things in their lives for which they should be thankful. Things are no different here at WSOTP. And while I'm especially thankful for a wonderfully patient wife, a loving family, and that Spurs' UnderArmour kits aren't as hideous as I had anticipated — among other blessings — amongst other things too, of course — I do have one gripe I want to air about the holiday.
Between the NFL and NCAA, the American-flavored version of football seems to go hand in hand with Thanksgiving. Games will be on all day tomorrow, and many families across the country will gather around their TV's to watch as a part of their annual holiday tradition. But as my fellow soccer fans will attest, we're normally left in the dark on Turkey Day by the major networks. This year, we're lucky enough to have Europa League matches to occupy us, but they're typically not high-profile matches. And while that's enough for me, that doesn't mean everyone else in my family will prefer round football to egg football this year. But since the festivities are being held at my house this year, the rules will be different… a new dawn for Thanksgiving traditions is in the cards.
But if your family won't budge from their normal traditions, here are some links to help keep you from feeling neglected. Happy holidays everyone!

a winter abroad
Two months. Eight weeks. Sixty days. It's not a whole lot of time no matter how you look at it. But it seems to be the magic time span these days, at least for MLS players it seems.
Whether urged on by Klinsmann's pleas for American players to get more time in competitive playing environments, or spurred on by the past successes of the short-term moves of MLS-bigwigs, the growing fad in American soccer is to get yourself a two-month, winter loan to Europe.
There have been no shortage of temporary moves to Europe this MLS off-season. Of course there have been the hyped moves involving the loans of high-profile players like L.A. Galaxy duo Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane — who have moved to Everton and Aston Villa respectively — and Red Bull's Thierry Henry return to Arsenal. But there have been lesser heralded moves too, such as West Ham's move for F.C. Dallas defender George John and L.A.'s Omar Gonzalez heading to Nürnberg.
A number of other players are trialing or training with European sides to gain some experience, and hopefully attract a foreign bid or two. I've written a good deal about Brek Shea's two months with Arsenal, but there have also been shorter training stints for at least fifteen MLS players. That's included youngster Juan Agudelo at Stuttgart and Liverpool, Robbie Rogers and Kyle Beckermann at Kaiserslautern, and Tim Ream at Bolton and West Brom, just to name a few.
With the temporary moves coming for players all over the MLS spectrum — from established stars to up-and-comers — it's promising that there appears to be a growing demand for the league's improving talent pool. It's a sign Europe's elite sides are starting to at least consider that we're a country capable of producing a decent amount of quality players worth having a look over.
However, I do have to wonder if all of these moves are the greatest thing for MLS.
For most of the young players, the moves will end up being nothing more than glamorous learning opportunities. Their goal will be to make the most of the time training with a different class of players, therefore raising their game or at least picking up the habits of higher level professionals. They'll get the extra competitive football experience that the Jürgs says our country's set up is lacking, and hopefully they're return to their MLS clubs with a sharper knowledge of the game, and everyone will be happy.
But while MLS seems content to allow it's shining gems to go out and grow themselves, it feels like they're turning a blind eye to the fact that it's also a great opportunity for the finest young talent in the league to showcase themselves to other, wealthier employers. I mean I can't imagine a single one of those players not going into those trials/loans/trainings thinking: This is the chance I've been waiting for… I better not blow it!
This open door policy has already seen Robbie Rogers turn his brief spell in Germany into a transfer to Leeds United. Tim Ream's time with Bolton also looks to have paid dividends, as the Wanderers look set to spend their Gary Cahill money on a transfer for the ginger-tinged Red Bulls defender. George John's loan terms with West Ham have an option to buy if he manages to impress during his two months at Upton Park, so he could be off too.
They've got a name for this type of issue: talent drain. And with MLS seemingly giving its blessing for foreign sides to take a free look at their best players, it comes off as them accepting their place as a stepping stone league. This flies in the face of the Commish has stated on several occasions, which is to turn Major League Soccer into one of the preeminent tournaments in the world.
Now maybe MLS does a much better job reinvesting the millions in transfer money they rake in during these sales than I'm giving them credit for, and if that's the case, I'll happily eat my words. But in the mean time, I'm going to assume that it's still a bit of a risky strategy.
And all of that only takes into account the youngsters. What about all of the veteran, star players tacking two months onto their seasons; how can their departures possibly hurt the league?
First, Klinsmann's desire to see American players securing loans or training spells in Europe is centered on his belief that the MLS season is too short. That does hold true for many players who teams don't make the playoffs, or exit them early. Problem is, all of the high-profile loans have involved players whose teams made deep playoff runs. Keane and Donovan were both directly involved in the MLS Cup game winning goal. Hell, Keane hasn't really had a break from training since the beginning of the last European season when he was still with Spurs. So none of them are in a position where they're lacking for matches or sharpness, especially when you consider that Donovan and Keane are also still logging serious minutes with their respective national teams.
Ultimately, star players being loaned out during the MLS close season does nothing but put extra miles on their valuable legs. And extra miles on (mostly) older legs usually end up leading to one of three outcomes: 1) increased susceptibility to injuries, 2) burnout or 3) both.
Don't believe me? It's already happened, twice.
The gigantic risk MLS exposes itself to is best embodied by David Beckham rupturing his Achilles tendon playing for Milan two winters ago. Beckham's move was supposed to help him earn a place in the following summer's England World Cup squad — something MLS considered of great benefit at the time — ended up costing the league dearly when he was forced out of the entire MLS season. Regardless of the size of potential media-exposure gains the league would have received from Beck's participation in South Africa, it was likely dwarfed by the lack of match-day ticket revenue the league missed out on by not having him play.
For those saying "Well that was over two years ago," this isn't something that only occurs in the past. As it turns out, MLS has already suffered one winter-loan casualty so far this season. And ironically, it's not even one of their big guns that's gone down injured. Instead, it was L.A. Galaxy's Omar Gonzalez, a younger player who should have become a regular feature in the USMNT's back line in 2012. But thanks to a collision with "American" teammate Timmy Chandler during his first training session after signing a 2-month loan with Nuremberg, the MLS Defender of the Year will now be out for at least the next seven months… a.k.a. most of the upcoming MLS season.
And though the loss of Gonzalez won't really hit MLS in the pocketbook the way Beckham's absence did, it will undoubtedly be a big hurdle to overcome in the Galaxy's defense of their crown. But if MLS end up losing Donovan, Henry and/or Keane to injury during their loan spells, it will hurt them both on the field and off.
Let's assume the trend of taking MLS players on loan continues to grow next season (I'd be willing to wager that it probably will), the amount of risk they'll expose themselves to each off-season will go up exponentially. I'm not sure how great of a scenario the league could be getting themselves into unless the think about these types of moves in a bigger picture.
Look, these loans and trials are ultimately a good thing if they lead to the development of better American players. I'm all for them leading to more American players playing in more competitive leagues in Europe, and the added benefit we could see from the increased levels of experience. But I want to make sure that such moves aren't undercutting MLS's mission and efforts to develop better American players. We need to protect the investments we've made so far, and that protection requires a wide variety of issues to consider. Here's hoping MLS and US Soccer did their homework before allowing this policy to become more common place.
In the mean time, we can't do anything other than sit back and see how this season's off-season MLS moves shift out. Obviously, I'm hoping that nothing but great news. Trust me when I say that there is nothing I want less than for me to look back in two months and say "I told you so."
panic attack
I'm not having a panic attack. I swear… I think. Maybe I am having one. Well, wait… no I'm probably not having a panic attack.
But with just a few days remaining until the Spurs' delayed official start to the Premier League's 2011-2012 season, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is officially making me lose sleep.
I know that last season was a bit of a mixed bag for Spurs and their fans. We were all enthralled by our magical European adventure, but also all rightly disappointed that the team couldn't consistently put in the type of domestic performances that were earning them worthy praise on the continent.
As this post clearly points out, Tottenham were a team that could hang with the big boys. But on the flip side of the coin, they were decidedly average against team's they should have been beating. The rigors of the Premier League, regardless of the competition faced each weekend, were too much to heap on players who were already being asked to carry heavy Champions League loads.
One thing that is certain is that the lack of activity in the January transfer window played a decently-sized part in the club's eventual shortcomings.
The squad clearly needed reinforcements (in particular at the front end of the pitch) to continue battling on multiple fronts, and yet the only area they reinforced was the one area of the pitch that didn't need that much help (although, a midfielder like Pienaar was a deal at the price we landed him for). Long story short, thin as the squad was, it couldn't cope with a multi-competition battle.
So when Tottenham relinquished their short hold on a top four position back in the spring, both Levy and Redknapp admitted that big signings would be necessary to get the club back on track with their grand aspirations.
Initially, long-term "dream" targets came back to the forefront. Forlán, Falcao, and Rossi were all floated in the deep pool of summer transfer rumors. But for various reasons (too old, too expensive, and too not for sale) none were realistic solutions to the Spurs' striking woes. It appeared that Tottenham would either have to pony up and spend like the club has a super-rich foreign owner, or unearth a diamond in the rough.
Fellow Ohioan Brad Friedel was the first signing of the window, and though he was also a bargain-buy that addressed a weak spot in the team, his arrival was hardly the "big time" signing that we all wanted and the team needed.
But I remained optimistic; perhaps Friedel's signing was the beginning of a torrid of transfer activity at White Hart Lane. After all, we don't just need to buy at Tottenham: we also need to trim. With one of the largest squads in the Premier League last season, Levy remained (rightly) insistent that arrivals at the club would necessitate cash from sales.
Yet Friedel, to this point, remains the only transfer dealing of this extremely crucial off-season. One free signing, and only two paltry sums coming in after the Lillywhites finally disposed of serial-loanees Jamie O'Hara (to Wolves for £3.5m) and Robbie Keane (to LA Galaxy for £3m)… nothing official about Jenas, Hutton, Dos Santos, Bassong and Palacios being sold off to raise the all important cash.
So while Tottenham Hotspur seem to be twiddling their thumbs, all of their direct competitors have been busy strengthening their squads.
Manchester City, the club that's recently been Tottenham's biggest rival (as far as league places are concerned) over the last few years, have continued to spend astronomical sums on players they may (Stefan Savić) or may not (Clichy) need (Agüero could be unneeded if Tévez doesn't leave). Sadly, additional devastating signings this window seem imminent. If they're not competing for silverware on all fronts this season with the talent in that squad, then Mancini will have proven himself a moron of a manager.
Liverpool, the club that Tottenham displaced in the Champions League last season, look to have finally gotten back on track with new owner John Henry and new (and old) manager Kenny Dalglish aiming to return to their rightful place as an English power. The signings of Stewart Downing, Jordan Henderson, and José Enrique on top of the January signings of Suarez and Carroll, mean that the Reds have dropped a reported £94 million on getting themselves back in the top four.
Manchester United, the club that doesn't ever have a down year, also look primed to continue their run of dominance over English football after finally dolling out a big chunk of the Ronaldo-sale money. Ashley Young, David de Gea and Phil Jones have arrived on the back of £50 million, plus there is emergence of Tom Cleverly and the possible arrival of Wesley Sneijder from Inter to further bolster their ranks. When Sir Alex said Tottenham could compete for the title this season, he must have forgotten that his team were competing in England this season.
Then there's Chelsea, the club that's played the part of Luka Modrić-stalker all summer long. To be honest, they've not spent much on players so far this summer (Lukaku and Romelu)… most of their outbound cash was to pry away
Mourinho-lite Andre Villas-Boas from Porto as their new temporary manager. Their lack of player spending has definitely been surprising, as the club's senior citizen squad looked in the most need of reinforcements. However, I fret that they might not quite be finished for understandable reasons.
And then there's our North London rivals, Arsenal, the club that… well, thank god at least one of our rivals is looking to be in worse shape than us. Serves them right, that scum.
I sit and watch world-class players arriving at those clubs, and I think to myself: "Those are the types of players we need." But then I remember, the reality of it is, we can't afford those players.
Stuck in an undersized stadium that's unable to generate the necessary revenues to truly invest in a squad, Harry and Daniel have openly admitted that we can't compete with the big boys when it comes to wages and transfer funds. So, now we're having to make do with less ambitious targets.
Blackburn sweeper/striker Chris Samba's name keeps coming up, though improving the back four isn't and shouldn't be near the top of the club's priority list. There have been links to another central midfielder in Real Madrid's Lassana Diarra, which would make some sense if Palacios leaves. I'd love to see Twente's Costa Rican striker/shampoo-commercial model Bryan Ruiz get bought, but with so little time left in the window, a deal like that would be tough. Maybe a loan move for everyone's favorite mercenary, Emmanuel Adebayor, seems the most likely, but do we really want a player that nobody else wants?
And that's not even touching on the possibility of Modrić leaving and how that could blow everything to hell. Levy seems to have the kid in a vice grip at the moment, but who knows what Chelsea's millions could persuade the chairmen to do.
Look, my club's biggest adversaries have spent over a combined £185 million pounds to solidify and/or improve their places in the league. Tottenham have spent zero. Everyone knew that Spurs needed to improve if they wanted to achieve their dream of becoming one of the big boys, and yet the club has done practically nothing to this point to show any of that necessary transfer ambition.
Sure, Harry Houdini could have another late-breaking, wheeling-and-dealing transfer that he'll pull out of his sleeve like he did with van der Vaart. Maybe he'll deliver the striker we so desperately need at 11:59pm on August 30th. But if he' goes that long without a signing, I'd be more willing to bet that it will be another midfielder than a striker… 'Arry seems to love those center of the park ballers.
And if that's the case, someone call me a doctor… I'm going to need a prescription for Xanax that will last much longer than just through the remainder of this transfer window.
you have to give to take
the problem with this season and last for tottenham? they set the bar too damn high. make it to the quarterfinals of the champions league, and suddenly everyone expects you to do it again next year.
such are the risks of success, i guess.
despite turning in a massively entertaining –if not cardiac– first half of the season, the bruises one takes for such success looks set to be cause of their demise. a thin and ultimately not that talented squad (and perhaps manchester city's oil-drenched billions) mean spurs find themselves again staring enviably back up at the perch they had worked so hard to reach and capitalize upon this season.
in order for tottenham to even consider the thought of a top four finish next season, they have to spend big on world class talent. harry said it. the pundits are saying it. the fans demand it. i'm assuming the players problably want it too.
at least one striker, a right back, and a goalkeeper are not just desires, but necessities.
yet keep in mind that there will be no champions league money rolling in next season. honestly, they'll be lucky to get europa league money at this point. so while redknapp said they need to open the checkbook this summer, he also knows that money will be tight at white hart lane.
so how can spurs possibly spend big with lower revenues next season? unfortunately, the answer to that question is every fan's most hated phrase around transfer windows…
"we'll have to sell to spend."
it strikes fear in the heart of supporters because we know that means you have to sell valuable assets to be able to buy more potentially valuable assets. none of us want to see our star players go, but that's usually what that means. spurs faithful the world over know this story well, with the somewhat recent departures of berbatov and carrick to manchester united used to fund the building of the current squad.
sure, they could trim the fat in the squad instead. hutton, jenas, palacios, bentley, keane and maybe even defoe could all go as they aren't really up to the grade that a champions league level club should expect. pavlyuchenko (himself on the edge of the previous "list of insufficients"), cudicini and kranjcar are all wanting to leave. not all will go. but the sale of a majority of them combined might be enough to snare one significant signing.
so that means a big gun will have to be sold if there's going to be any "big" investment in the squad. bale, modrić and van der vaart have all been heavily linked with the usual suspects(united, chelsea, madrid, barcelona, inter), so it's safe to assume that the three of them would give spurs the most leverage in the transfer market.
but as everyone is keenly aware, they've all been crucial to tottenham's recent successes. how could they possibly let them go?
modrić is the best of the three and the one who's loss would be felt the most, despite the fact that he hasn't received as much hype as bale and rafa. he would have absolutely no problem slotting in at united or barcelona. tottenham literally have nobody who can replace him in the current ranks, as is visible every time he doesn't play (or even played out of position on the left). even if they pick off charlie adam from a relegated blackpool in the summer, that wouldn't be enough to fill the void. in my opinion, luka is virtually unsellable.
bale is a trickier proposition. whether he deserved the pfa player of the year award or not, he has had one hell of a 18-month run. from the transfer list to the hot list, he's rightfully earned himself all of the speculation he now garners with some glittering performances. he'll be tough to hold on to for that very reason. he's been one of the club's brightest stars in the last two seasons, and you never want to sell off a young player that is one of the best players in the world (or my favorite player!)
but i'll also be the first to admit that his gareth's form has dipped recently. it's possible that is due to his injuries and not regaining full fitness from them, or it could be that the world has finally learned how to neutralize him. while i certainly wouldn't claim that he's a flash in the pan, i do worry that he could be. maybe it would be better to cash in on him now while his value is at it's peak. however, his recent injury could also dent his appeal.
and that leaves rafael van der vaart. the dutchman was the catalyst for spurs' early season red hot form, as his goals kept us all from noticing that tottenham's forwards don't know how to score them. he brought the fire, flare, and excitement that seemed to be the missing piece in tottenham's quest to break into the english elite. we all wanted to believe that anyway. regardless, the way he played in the fall no doubt raised his transfer value
it didn't take long, though, before the praise inflated his ego. he couldn't seem to get a lodge a full 90-minute match, and soon publicly vented his frustration of being subbed off so often by 'arry. sometimes he morphs into a dribble princess, keeping the ball to himself when he has it and throwing his hands up in frustration when his teammates don't give it to him. though often started as a right-sided attacker, he often drifts wherever he pleases during the course of the match, murdering the team's shape and crowding the space of central players. sure, he's better when he get's to play the much desired "rover" role. but is it really worth the affect it has on the team's performance?
so long story short, if you have to sell one of the three, make sure that it's van der vaart.
look, redknapp wants to play in a 4-4-2. after all, he is english and loves the long ball (right peter crouch?!). tottenham never played particularly well in the 4-5-1, and that's the formation they had to play with vdV in the line up. it provided enough cover in the midfield to allow the former gypsy to roam the field at his whim. but by selling him off, spurs will have enough room on the pitch to play another striker, and thus justify buying a world class forward.
the dutchman also appears to be one of the only players in the squad with a huge ego (at least one that affects the squad), and has a penchant for biting the hand that feeds him. mabye letting him go would be a boost to team chemistry too. i don't know; i'm just speculating here.
we all know that someone has to be sold to take this team back to the promised land. there's no denying it. nobody wants it to happen, but then again, none of us really wanted dimitar or michael to part ways either. look how well that turned out.
who ends up on the chopping block, or whether it will happen at all, remains to be seen. van der vaart makes the most sense to me, but then again, it's all just a toss up anyway. because if things continue on this way, we'll probably be fighting relegation next season anyway.
round up #13
a busy christmas schedule has my mind spinning, wondering what to write about and what to leave out. i've watched a lot of football, and talked about even more… although my family probably would have preferred a different subject matter to dominate my holiday plans. oh well, they should know better by now, right? and, as always, the best way to keep up with the craziness is to post another round up. let's see if i can keep this one under a thousand words!
telegraph best sports quotes of the year 2009 – telegraph.co.uk so not all of these are football quotes, but some of the best on the list are. the usual suspects are there as always (mourinho, wenger, ronaldo) and there are even a few wildcards (definitely check out arsenal's andrei arshavin's quote about midway down the list). my favorite though came from inter milan manager jose mourinho, which also just so happens to be at the top of the list:
"even jesus christ wasn't liked by everyone. what hope is there for me?"
i swear, i would volunteer to be his personal assistant for free just so i could hear all of the awesomeness that spills from his mouth on a near daily basis.
redknapp reprieves spurs partygoers – independent.co.uk
tottenham manager harry redknapp has long frowned upon in-season drinking by top class footballers, so it came as no surprise to me when i read that 'arry was banning his side from having a christmas party. it also came as no surprise to me when i learned that club troublemaker captain robbie keane organized a pub-crawl christmas party, disguised as a "golf outing," in his native ireland for sixteen of the spurs first teamers. even less surprising was the fact that the sun tabloid broke their cover, noting that several of the players had even booked a private jet to get them there and back. obviously, redknapp was not pleased by this news and vowed to bring down a stern hammer of justice on any player who went against his wishes. a week later on though, 'arry softened his stance and backed off the yid stars: instead of a club fine, each participating player must now donate around £2,000 to a charity of the clubs choosing. that, and it's unlikely the manager wanted to ruin the good atmosphere created by the club's recent run of good form.
chris rolfe to aalborg – bigsoccer.com
yes, i know that this is extremely old news. but while surfing the tubes the other day looking for a way to score an aalborg jersey (which, is apparently impossible unless you live in denmark), i ran across this interesting message board posting. a linguistically gifted poster by the name of "ForZaAaB" had translated a video interview of AaB director of football lynge jakobsen heaping huge praise on my buddy from dayton. trust me, you'll want to click on the story to read the translation, unless of course you can speak danish. i found it particularly interesting the the only video footage the news station could dig up of rolfe was from youtube. but either way, it seems that the club has high expectations for the former MLS star. i, for one, firmly believe he can reach and exceed the lofty praise he's received.
how will football tactics develop over the next decade – guardian.co.uk
there is no doubt that the beautiful game has taken on some interesting changes in the last ten years, especially in the realm of tactics. a decade ago it would have seemed ridiculous to put out a starting line-up in a 4-5-1 formation, yet it's commonplace in today's game. it's a fact that the game's tactics are ever evolving; a chess-match of changes where offensive strategies change to take advantage of defensive frailties, defenses adapting to exploit weaknesses in offensive schemes, and so on and so forth. the guardian took on the intimidating task of trying to predict how the tactics of football will change in the coming years, and it came up with some rather interesting points. well worth the read, at least if you've got a half an hour to blow.
real rubbish reports of bid from man city's owner – soccernet.com
in the world of real madrid, bid's of audacious nature are as regular as the sunday paper. but £1 billion bids to buy the club? now those are rare events indeed. but let me tell you now that without having even read the full story, i knew these reports were complete BS. and i've got three reasons:
- real madrid are the only super club in the world that are owned by the club's members, and in spain that is almost the norm. president florentino perez loves pulling off big money moves, but he loves the power and prestige of running the people's club more than he loves money. there is no way the club's members would be willing to sell the club to a single owner.
- £1 billion is equal to about 12.5 ronaldo's (at least with ronaldo valued at around £80 million), and i certainly doubt that the club view themselves as worth only the same as 12.5 of just one of their players.
- sheik mansour, who owns city, is legally not allowed to own another club in europe since he already owns man city. running two super clubs in europe who compete against one another is, by definition, a conflict of interests. he would have to sell the citizens before he could even consider purchasing madrid… which will never happen anyway.
sorry rumor mill, i'm not buying this one. not for a second.

Stretchy and Comfy!
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
- Height: 5'5"Weight: 150 lbsSize Purchased: 8
These shorts have the perfect amount of stretch to them, they are so comfortable, and I love to hike, climb, just wear them around town, whatever! They are awesome. My only wish about them is that they were like an inch-two inches shorter. I don't like the length too much, I but they work to give you some modesty while wearing a harness for sure! Definitely recommend them. I felt like they fit more true to size than others, but I did feel that they stretched out a little after use.
Love this short
- Height: 5'3"Weight: 145 lbs
I have them in graphite and moss. I love the fit and material. I bought them to take on vacation to a hot, humid climate and think they will work great. The fit is a bit large, so you may want to order a size smaller than usual.
Will this material shrink at all in the...
Will this material shrink at all in the dryer?
I have Yuma shorts and pants and haven't had anything shrink in washing. I typically wash in cold water and dry on medium heat.
Get outside in these
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit:Runs large
One of the most comfortable hiking/climbing shorts I've ever worn. The fit is great, I was between and 8 and 10, ordered the 10s and ended up returning for an 8. They fit well and allow you to move freely. Lightweight and comfortable in hot weather, plus the chamois lined waistband is soft against your skin so no annoying tags or stitching scratching at your waist.

My partner and I, as well as our amazing permaculture expert friend are moving to near Carcassonne in September 2012 to explore the different regions and help on permaculture projects before buying
. We are looking to buy 10 acres minimum for 2 homes, orchard, land for cultivation and permaculture design and in the future look to build a green school/Steiner based school and "slow" retreat centre encouraging people to slow down - yoga, meditation, harvesting their own veggies from the garden to cook communally, no internet or phone during their stay. We currently run www.evolvewellnesscentre.com in London which has a strong focus on
education. We planted a roof garden on our studio using permaculture principles last April and have had an allotment for several years.
We are looking to help support like minded people with their land/work on their house in exchange for lodging and board. We have practical knowledge of planting/harvesting and some DIY experience. Please get in touch if you know of any such opportunities or are looking to network with good people from a similar perspective. We would love to hear from you.

Hello Adrian, you sound a perfect match for what we have in mind & will soon outline our our project on the forum. We are a group of individuals who have been struck down with Electrosensitivity and so are looking to purchase land in France, Spain and/or Canary Islands away from pulsed microwave technologies. Some of us from London, others from Europe. We want to renovate old ruins or build strawbale or
eco-dwellings so looking for people to join us or be neighbours to us without using WIFI/mobiles. It would be great to be linked to others who have some knowledge of permaculture so that we can learn skills but also occasional company and mutual support & friendship. The kind of retreat you outline would fit perfectly with ours - although we envisage using cabled internet which will envisage to be in a shielded booth of sorts to allow some communication & research, but the idea is that
we live close to nature without harm and seeking a relaxed way of life in creativity, liberty and freedom. I get the picture that you want to stay on lands so that you can experience different areas but perhaps worth just keeping us on the backburner if you find land that is out of your range and we can step in to contribute in exchange for finding the place and exchange of knowledge. I'll leave it there for now - see what you think.

An Elizabethtown man held hostage in Iran for 444 days wants compensation.
Sixty-three year old Don Hohman was one of 50 people held in captivity from November 1979 until January 1981.
Hohman says Iran was never held responsible for taking the hostages, but with the country in the news again it's a good time to hold Iran accountable.
Hohman wants Congress to pass a bill providing compensation to hostages and their families.
Under the act, the United States would take money out of Iran's frozen assets still under control of the U.S. Sectretary of Treasury.

Halloween this year was kinda….weird. This was the first year that we only had one child that went trick-or-treating. One left, out of five. My son, at fifteen years old, is now, officially, "too old" to dress up and go door to door begging for candy.
Kids…they grow up way too fast!
At least he was willing to pose for a few pics with his sister! Can you guess what she went as?
