I Heart NPR
The Curious Listener: Calling All Interns
Everyone has a different passion when it comes to NPR - books, news, social media, Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! A great way to transition that enthusiasm into a job is with a NPR internship. Do you have aspirations of being the next Guy Raz (NPR intern with All Things Considered, circa 1997) or the next blogger on 'This is NPR'? (Yup, I was a Summer 2010 Communications intern). Give today's installment of "The Curious Listener" a read.
The next deadline to apply for an NPR internship is July 27. If you're interested in working alongside NPR hosts, journalists and staff, visit the Internships page on NPR.org to get started on an application. Also, check out what our summer interns are up to right now on their Tumblr page.
To Whom It May Concern:
I want to know how I can become a part of the "What We're Reading" group.
Is there an internship position available? Volunteer position? I take great pleasure in perusing the site and looking at the recommendations/reviews. I would like to be a part of the group that reads the books and then makes wonderful suggestions for readers out there. I am currently a student at San Francisco State University majoring in English Literature and summer is right around the corner. I am going to have some free time on my hands and I would love to contribute in any way that I can.
Thank you for your time. Have a wonderful day.
San Francisco, CA
Dear Madison,
Thank you for contacting NPR.
We really appreciate your interest! As it happens, the "What We're Reading" group is an informal collection of what the NPR staff is reading. (Yes, this means our Books colleagues check out what we're reading at lunch; they're quite nice about it, though.) There's no formal "what we're reading" intern position.
However, that doesn't mean you can't check out our internship positions in general! We don't have any open right now, since our summer interns start in a few weeks, but check back in August: http://www.npr.org/about/careers/internships.html
We are always delighted to hear from listeners. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
Thank you for listening to NPR, and for your continued support of public broadcasting. For the latest news and information, visit NPR.org.

Anyone can relate? Sometimes people say things that really get to me but sometimes, like today, everything is brought up in my mind at once and keeps repeating until I get pissed off/upset/sad... and I have no one to talk to to vent it out... Like something a co worker does, or your MIL says... ect
It's about: I get really aggervated when people come to my house and say "oh its a mess right here" or "You going to pick those DVDs up" or "when was the last time you cleaned out your microwave?" ECT ECT ECT... I get so upset by this because I clean Everyday, all day. There are days however that I just didn't feel like picking up after my son took all the DVDs out of their box, or I didn't feel like finishing unpacking because I've been doing it for weeks. I get evern more pissed when these 'guest' stop by without calling or my fiance tells them to come over without telling me. What sucks even more is if I knew they were coming and I cleaned to a T, bathrooms, rooms, everything but my microwave "isn't clean" or the dishes "aren't clean" because I've been cooking for them all day!! It seems no one is ever satisfied with what I try to do for them. They sometimes bring my son into and ask why I don't have a bib on him or what he's not wearing shoes at the moment (at home). Why can't people just be happy with what I try to do for them!
As I'm writing this I'm just getting more mad. It seems that everyone who comes to my house does this and I would never do this to anyone! I don't have a messy house at all but onne little thing and it seems people try to make me feel like shit about it. I talked to my fiance about it and one time he stood up for me when his friend sad something stupid like this but that was once of the many times. Gosh, I'm trying to get all this down in a coherent manner but it seems scrambled so I'm sorry if this has been hard to follow. I'm just so sick of people saying stupid, pointless things to me about how/what I do that has no affect on anyone or anything and seems to only be said to be assholes. Especially when I try to do things right but one tiny, insignificant thing will fall thought the cracks and people that I know pounce on it.

AbstractThe 60 GHz frequency band possesses the potential for secure, low-power, and high-data rate communication links. Current implementations of V-band wireless links are severely impaired by challenges such as shadowing. MaXentric's 60 GHz ViFi system is an effective method that overcomes the major challenges of deploying reliable 60 GHz networks. ViFi's flexible architecture permits utilization of an ultra-wide bandwidth to achieve tens of gigabits in data throughput. ViFi incorporates advanced Integrated Circuit technology that allows a highly compact implementation that offers compatibility with individually-worn simulation training devices. Both the protocol and physical nature of the ViFi system permits individual security levels. A Phase II realization of ViFi will enable an untethered immersive training environment that promises to enhance the Air Force's preparedness for future conflicts.

After much playing i have managed to get TFS to be able to run builds on all of my projects except the test projects. These have a moles assembly in them.
The errors i am getting are
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Moles\bin\Microsoft.Moles.targets (79):
The command ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Moles\bin\moles.exe"
exited with code -1002.
The warning is
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets (1360):
Could not resolve this reference.
Could not locate the assembly "CV.DAL.Moles, Version=18.104.22.168, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=MSIL".
Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk.
If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.
CV.DAL is the assembly i am moling.
I am using the latest version of pex and moles.
I also have the
CV.DAL.moles file checked into TFS (not the assembly).
Everything builds perfectly fine on my local machine. The machine I am using to do the builds has exactly the same configuration. By exactly I mean that one is 32 bit and the other is 64 bit :o (serious oversight there).
Any ideas?
This makes pex and moles utterly useless as it is breaking gated checkins when merging branches which is a great shame as i invested a decent amount of time into them.
Which molesAssemblies directories?
The install folder for moles or the directories under the project?
The installation folder has he same files and file sizes on both machines.

Trying to get pre-approv
[ Edited ]
04-22-2011 05:53 PM - last edited on 04-23-2011 06:11 AM by llecs
HI, reading your mortgage process, would seem like we should be able to get a pre-approval right now... But that's not the case with my family...
We have spoken with 3 mortgage lenders, and they all give us the same story... "We see that you make more than enough, but your mid score needs to be at least 630, Mine is at that mark, but my spouse isn't just yet. However, now that my score is at the midmark, they state that I have other issues, which were late payments that occurred in the past (7 months ago) they stated that, well one stated that the late payments has to be a year old.
The other, basically stated that I need to pay off all my revolving credit, due to debt to income ratio, if I was to try and get a home loan on my own.
Really don't know what to do now, except just wait for both of our score go up and see what happens.

5.0 stars 10 totalReview Amanda Condon
Posted by Zach
Amanda was very understanding and accommodating to my situation. She made the whole situation stress free for me during a busy and stressful time of the year. I highly recommend Amanda condon
Posted by Josh
Amanda always goes above and beyond when it comes to her clients. She puts in the legwork to get the best possible result. She answered all of our questions and was very easy to get a hold of and work with. We would use her again in a heartbeat if a situation ever warranted her services.
Posted by a client
Mrs. Condon was recommended to me and I see exactly why. She was extremely hard working, always available for any questions/concerns, and always had my best interest in mind. I highly recommend Mrs. Condon for legal services.
Posted by a client
Amanda did a Great job on my case. She was open and honest about the possibilities for the outcome of my DUI. She had me take an approach of being proactive towards my issue which in turn the judge was happy to hear about. That made a difference in my case being able to get a lesser charge than originally charged with. I would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney.
Posted by Kevin
I would highly recommend Amanda Ackerman Condon. Amanda was extremely helpful with my case and she exceeded my expectations. I could not be more fortunate that I found here.
Amanda gave me the facts and truly knew her stuff. She did what she needed to do to help, plain and simple, all the while looking out for my best interest and helping eliminate my anxiety and stress. She was always very quick to respond to my calls and texts which always left my mind at ease.
Without question if you retain Amanda you have made a very smart decision that will keep your mind at ease.
Posted by Ron
Amanda was able to guide me through the judicial process in a way that didn't make me feel uncomfortable and I felt informed the whole time. I can't say enough for how she helped and I have recommended her to someone close to me.
Posted by Andy
It did not get to the point I needed to hire Amanda, but she was very helpful and I would not hesitate to hire her or recommend her. When it comes to attorneys, I believe she is a step above the rest because she is a person first.
Posted by John
An attorney and close friend referred me to Ms. Condon, and while I expected to be in great hands, my expectations were exceed. Ms Condon was knowledgeable and straightforward and her diverse legal background allowed her to represent me with tremendous insight which ultimately facilitated the absolute best outcome. Her communications with me and the court were direct and efficient, and this not only kept me informed through a stressful process, but it also helped to control my legal costs. I would highly recommend Ms. Condon to anybody in need of her legal services.
Posted by a Speeding Ticket client
Amanda was extremely helpful with my case. The period after a traffic violation can be a stressful and scary time, with so many unknowns and uncertainties. Amanda gave me the facts and truly knew her stuff. Best of all, she did so without using scare tactics to keep me as a client or to get me to pay more. She did what she needed to do to help, plain and simple, all the while looking out for my best interest.
Posted by a DUI & DWI client
I would highly recommend Amanda Ackerman Condon as she exceeded my expectations for a favorable outcome.
Her vast experience as both a prosecutor and defense attorney were evident in her command and control of the court room. Her extreme knowledge of both sides of the law was obvious.
Her ability to eliminate the anxiety and stress was something I never experienced before with the many various attorneys I have retained in the past. Regardless of the day or time she would respond to my calls, texts or e-mails right away and not just to keep me informed but to also provide a sense of calm to the worry and anxiety that prompted the call.
For someone I have only known for about 7 months I have the utmost trust and respect for her which is very refreshing in this industry.
Without question if you retain Amanda you have made a very smart and wise decision.

Stonington — The Board of Police Commissioners has fired Animal Control Officer Rae Jean Davis after eight years on the job.
The board made its decision after a 4½ hour executive session on Nov. 25.
Both Police Chief J. Darren Stewart and town labor attorney Michael Satti declined to comment Wednesday about why the board fired Davis, saying it was a personnel matter.
The Day has filed a request under the state Freedom of Information Act for Davis' personnel file and any correspondence related to her employment.
Contacted Wednesday, Davis also declined to talk about why she was fired until she has an opportunity to speak to her lawyer. She indicated she would be willing to speak about the situation at a later date.
The town is now seeking applicants for the job. Until a new ACO is hired, Stewart said the animal control operation will be overseen by former assistant ACO Tonya Wescovich on a per diem basis, and by police Sgt. Louis Diamanti.
In related matter, a New London Superior Court judge issued a judgment in May that a Montville couple had to remove a website they had created called acoraejeandavisoutofcontrol.com and pay Davis $856 in damages, after she sued them.
The couple, Michelle and Vincent Gugliuzza, stated on the website that they wanted to bring to light their allegations that Davis falsified police reports and testified in family court to ruin people's lives in an effort to gain power and notoriety. They charged that she would go so far as to endanger and kill animals to obtain this power. They posted Davis' photo on the site.
They also set up an Internet petition to get Davis fired, and Michelle Gugliuzza posted what Davis called in her suit "malicious and libelous comments" about Davis on her Facebook page.
Davis' suit said the actions of the Gugliuzzas caused her anxiety, depression, difficulty sleeping and increased her high blood pressure. In issuing his judgment, Judge Leeland Cole-Chu ordered the Gugliuzzas to not post anything about Davis in the future.
In 2010, police charged Michelle Gugliuzza, then Michelle Courter, with selling cats she had allegedly stolen. They seized 24 cats from her home in Old Mystic and charged her with cruelty to animals. Davis played a prominent role in the investigation in which several cat owners alleged that Gugliuzza had stolen their pets and then listed them for sale. Gugliuzza denied the charges.
The state's attorney's office decided not to prosecute the case after Courter formed a nonprofit organization that would trap, vaccinate, neuter and find homes for feral cats and took a state course on trapping cats. She was ordered to pay the town $250 to cover the cost of caring for the seized cats.

A comprehensive understanding of the brain remains an elusive, distant frontier. To arrive at a general theory of brain function would be an historic event, comparable to inferring quantum theory from huge sets of complex spectra and inferring evolutionary theory from vast biological field work. The proposed Brain Activity Map is a project that will tap the hive mind of experts to make headway in the understanding of the field. Engineers and nanotechnologists will be needed to help build ever smaller devices for measuring the activity of individual neurons and, later, to control how those neurons function. Recent developments in nanoscale analysis tools and in the design and synthesis of nanomaterials have generated optical, electrical, and chemical methods that can readily be adapted for use in neuroscience.Posted: Mar 27th, 2013
Currently developed nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems, either 'passively targeted' or 'actively targeted', do not significantly improve the delivery of drugs to target tumors. Scientists in China now propose a new-generation nanocarrier that integrates various desired functions into a single nanosystem, which can harmonize with the complex physiological environment and display different properties sequentially, thus resulting in an excellent targeting effect and satisfactory biodistribution of drugs.Posted: Mar 5th, 2013
A bacterium which causes disease reacts to the antibiotics used as treatment by becoming resistant to them, sooner or later. This natural process of adaptation, antimicrobial resistance, means that the effective lifespan of antibiotics is limited. Unnecessary use and inappropriate use of antibiotics favors the emergence and spread of resistant bacteria. New research uses a graphene-based photothermal agent to trap and kill bacteria.Posted: Feb 19th, 2013
Carbon nanotubes, like the nervous cells of our brain, are excellent electrical signal conductors and can form intimate mechanical contacts with cellular membranes, thereby establishing a functional link to neuronal structures. There is a growing body of research on using nanomaterials in neural engineering. Carbon nanotube (CNT) synapse circuits are a first step in this direction. In new work, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, have developed a CNT synapse with the elementary dynamic logic, learning, and memory functions of a biological synapse.Posted: Feb 12th, 2013
The majority of current commercial applications of nanotechnology to medicine is geared towards drug delivery to enable new modes of action, as well as better targeting and bioavailability of existing medicinal substances. While most reviews on nanomedicine tend to focus on specific sectors or take a very forward-looking stance and fail to provide a complete perspective on the current landscape, a new review article provides a more comprehensive and contemporary inventory of nanomedicine products.Posted: Jan 17th, 2013
Metastasis - the process of cancer spreading from its original site to distant tissues - is caused by marauding tumor cells that break off from the primary tumor site and ride in the bloodstream to set up colonies in other parts of the body. Detecting and analyzing these circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can provide critical information for managing the spread of cancer and monitoring the effectiveness of therapies. In new work, researchers have created a Velcro-like platform which can not only capture CTCs with very high efficiency, but also release them in order to biochemically analyze them further.Posted: Jan 8th, 2013
Nanotechnology is finding applications in the treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases, particularly skin disease. These applications work in one of two ways: utilizing nanomaterials that have inherent antimicrobial properties; or incorporating known therapeutics into nanoscale vehicles to enhance delivery and improve efficacy. An ideal approach to develop a topical therapy for microbial infection in skin would combine both. Now, researchers have developed a new nanoparticle platform using chitosan for the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases such as Acne Vulgaris.Posted: Jan 3rd, 2013
Naturally occurring nanomaterials can be found everywhere in nature - in soil, ground and surface waters, volcanic ash, ocean spray, mineral composites, smoke. Biogenic magnetite nanoparticles have even been discovered in various organisms, ranging from bacteria to human brains, with various biological functions. Researchers have discovered that nanoparticles produced by a flesh-eating fungus hold promise for stimulating the immune system and killing tumors.Posted: Dec 18th, 2012

Lithops Meyeri - Stone Plants - Seeds - Succulents - MASSIVE RANGE
Lithops is a genus of succulent plants in the ice plant family, Aizoaceae. Members of the genus are native to southern Africa. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek words lithos, meaning "stone," ops, meaning "face," referring to the stone-like appearance of the plants. They avoid being eaten by blending in with surrounding rocks and are often known as pebble plants or living stones. The formation of the name from the Greek "-ops" means that even a single plant is called a Lithops.

Angaston Vineyards Motel is centrally located in the heart of the Barossa Valley, 2 Km from Angaston, 4 Km from Nuriootpa and 9 Km from Tanunda.
It sits across the road from Vintner's Bar & Grill and the famous Barossa Farmers Market and only 500 metres from Salter's restaurant. The Vineyards Motel offers friendly and professional service and is the perfect base for daily excursions around the Barossa Valley's many cellar doors and other sights.
The Motel has 21 units of various configuration and can take groups up to 58 people. It has a pool area with BBQ facilities overlooking the beautiful Saltram's Vineyards.Bus Tours to several points of interest can be organised from the reception.
It's not very often these days that the customer gets to meet the owner of any business, much less in the hotel industry. It was delightful to meet Geoff and the family as together (with the two friendly dogs) welcome guests, clean the pool and water the plants and clean the rooms. It's not lux, but it's charming in a 1950s kind of way. I would definitely stay there again.
We stayed here for one night only with our three children. Suite 21 was very spacious and from the outside deceiving. We didn't feel cramped at all. There were plenty of towels which is surprising as many 5 star places only offer one towel each. Simple offering but very pleasing when there are girls. There was also spare blankets, plenty of storage room. Tea, coffee, milk and biscuits for all. Overall it is what it states to be. A perfect place for a night or two, clean, comfortable and cheap!!! Would stay here again.

This is my 3rd home I've built from ground up; and every home I have went with Frigidaire Professional Series. Each new generation model gets better and better; and by far this is my favorite model microwave of them all. From the sensor cook options to the design itself. Needless to say I am a very satisfied repeat customer
So so

Just had to have service at 9 months.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
By karly
This is my third fridgidaire microwave, two replacements and it doesn't work. There has been a manufacture defect in two of them and they keep sending them to me. There should be a recall on this microwave
By mare
Overall the appearance of the microwave is pleasing; however, what I don't like is the way that the bottom of the black plate fits under the microwave. I feel that this could be improved so that it didn't have a gap on the lower section of the unit.
Amazing Microwave
By jynkx
The microwave has a wide range of cooking options. I like the fact the microwave has options for cooking popcorn, bake potatoes and reheating food options.

Happy new homeowner!
By spentalot
We have used this often and really enjoy it. The only downside is the beeping sound keeps on even after you open the door.
Annoying Alert
By Rebecca
The look of this microwave is nice, but the features are horrible. You cannot run a kitchen timer and heat an item at the same time. Why??? Also, the alert indicating an item is done is SO loud and annoying. It continues to beep even after the door is opened, at which point it cannot be stopped.

I recently faced the same dilemma as you re: the English Premier League -- my brother-in-law (Man U fan) and my best friend (Chelsea) are big EPL fans and pushing me to join 'em. The WC pushed my over the top.
So, I picked Arsenal for three reasons:
1. They don't appear to be the Yankees of the EPL (I'd give that to Man U, perhaps Chelsea).
2. I read "Fever Pitch" by Hornby -- I like their understated history.
3. Cool cannon on their uniform!
So, there you have it. Completely unreasonable reasons -- but isn't that the best part of being a sports fan?
--Robert Mahini, Arlington, Va.
|The EPL Decision: Box Set
From the fans to the Sports Guy, here's all you need to know to pick your own EPL team:
• Picking an EPL team, Part II
What English soccer team should you adopt? Easy answer: ARSENAL.
First off, I'm relatively sure that they are the club Michael Davies hates most. The English Premier League is not unlike MLB when it comes to competitive imbalance. It has 20 teams, 16 of which have no legitimate shot of winning the league. When the season starts, you can count on one of four teams winning the title: Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal. Man Utd is the biggest bandwagon club there is and, several years ago, they entered into some sort of alliance with the New York Yankees. Chelsea (Michael Davies' favorite club) is owned by a Russian billionaire who runs the club like George Steinbrenner by spending insane amounts of cash to assemble a veritable all-star team of mercenaries and has essentially bought the last two titles. Liverpool, like the Yankees, is a club overrated because of their history of past success, but are not a compelling team today (their improbable '05 Champions League title aside).
That leaves Arsenal, who were much like your beloved Red Sox in that they played forever in an antiquated stadium crammed into a North London neighborhood that was rich in history and tradition, but had a much smaller capacity and lacked the modern amenities of other stadiums. They finally got the stones to face reality and turn the page by leaving Highbury and moving into a new state-of-the-art stadium this season. Plus, the most obvious link between Arsenal and the Red Sox is "Fever Pitch" -- Nick Hornby's book about being a superfan of Arsenal, made into a movie in the UK with Colin Firth, which was, of course, bastardized by the Farrelly brothers into a story about the Red Sox and featured the unforgiveable casting of Jimmy Fallon in the lead role (The Sox winning the Series, while added to conform to real-life events, was actually true to the original story's happy ending, as Arsenal defeats Liverpool on the season's final day to win the '89 title). Plus the club's primary color is red. I'm telling you, Arsenal is your club.
--Matt, Seattle
I leave you with Arsenal as my choice, for a few reasons ... 3) For someone who isn't exactly sold on soccer, they play the best brand for an American fan trying to find the game. Young, and really talented, they play end to end, fastbreak soccer. Phoenix Suns of the league, with a really good D. Real fun to watch. OK, that was my feeble attempt to throw you a bone on English soccer.
--Joe, Mayfield, N.Y.
Arsenal really are the Red Sox of the Premiership. They were underdogs for a long time, always taking a back seat to Chelsea, Man Utd, and Liverpool, until 2004 when they won and went undefeated. They lost a heartbreaking Champions League final last year against Barcelona, and qualified for it again this year. They have probably the best goal scorer in soccer in Thierry Henry, plus a huge youth movement (including 17-year-old wunderkind Theo Walcott) coming up that has them set up nicely for the next few years. They have a brand new stadium in the cool part of north London, and their head coach, Arsene Wegner, is fantastic.
Frankly, I'm not sure you really have much of a choice.
--Tyler, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
If you're looking for an English soccer team there are three things to know:
1. YOU CANNOT SELECT MANCHESTER UNITED. They are the devil. They are the Yankees. They get bailed out by refs. They buy titles. They bitch and moan and have never done anything wrong. They are the picture of petulance. Someone who adopts them as their team cannot be respected. Though nowadays, there's one team that's even worse.
2. CHELSEA ARE WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE WORLD. Can you imagine how bad football would suck if there were no salary cap? Chelsea are trying to help us all find out. Their suspect Russian oil billionaire owner has legends on the third string. They are the essence of the no-tradition, no-honor team. If they hadn't been around for a hundred years, they'd be the Marlins.
3. IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, THE ONLY MORAL CHOICE IS ARSENAL. They have a coach who doesn't overpay for superstars; he finds young, inexpensive talent and makes them INTO superstars. Plus (unlike Chelsea) they play all-attack-all-the-time soccer that leaves you breathless. Not just Nash Suns good, but Magic Lakers great.
--Brendan Hunt, Los Angeles
There is only one team worthy of your time: Arsenal. Here's a list of reasons:
3. Arsene Wenger, the team's manager, is a more clutch version of Billy Beane. Arsenal spends a small fraction compared to their chief opponents (Chelsea -- the Yankees -- and Man Utd.-- Yankees lite) yet they acheive comparable results.
5. Arsenal's fan base includes all segments of society; all classes, political persuasions, and religions are represented. They have the highest minority support in English soccer, and their fans are regarded as passionate, but mentally balanced.
6. Located in North London, Arsenal has to represent the best vacation option, should you ever want to attend a game. Good luck getting the Sports Gal to Liverpool, Manchester, or God forbid, Newcastle.
7.Thierry Henry is the best, most entertaining goal scorer in the world and is just entering his prime.
8. Cesc Fabregas is the closest thing in soccer to a defensively-solid Steve Nash, and he's only 19.
9. Solid uniforms, nothing ostentatious.
10. A roster that represents the U.N.
11. Most importantly, Arsenal -- even people who hate them will agree -- play by far the most attractive soccer in England. Most years they score far more goals than anyone. Think of them as a hard-nosed Brazil.
--Tyler D, San Francisco
Arsenal is far and away the most exciting English team to watch. Thierry Henry, the Gunners' best player and among the two best in the world, is probably the only player in the entire English League that can win a game by himself. The rest of the team is a mix of rock stars from across Europe, Africa and South America. The Gunners' manager, Arsene Wenger, is the Bill Walsh of soccer, an offensive-minded attacking genius who hates playing 0-0 matches as much as everyone else hates watching them. Their keeper is Jens Lehmann, the absolutely crazy curly-haired German who shut down Argentina in penalty kicks, and he is not afraid to absolutely humiliate his own defenders during a match. This makes the team particularly fun to watch when their losing.
--Paul, Chicago
I will present my case for Arsenal in the form of Google Video.
Alternatively, search YouTube for "Thierry Henry".
--Sebastian, Gothenburg, Sweden
Your search for an EPL team to follow starts and ends with Arsenal. This team has it all. Drama queens, (Thierry Henry, Robin Van Persie), young studs (Cesc Fabregas, Thomas Rosicky, Theo Walcott), enforcers (Philipe Senderoos and Freddie Ljungberg), a crazy keeper, (Jens Lehmann), and a French manager with gorilla arms who has his own pantheon of faces (Arsene Wenger). They are moving into a much bigger stadium this year, so tickets should be easier to come by when you're in London.
Here's all you need to know about the top teams in English soccer. Manchester United are the Yankees, Chelsea is like if the Marlins never stopped buying players after the first World Series win, and Arsenal are the Red Sox. Liverpool is kind of like the St. Louis Cardinals, and they have the best English player, (Steven Gerrard), but Arsenal is the pick. And remember, any self-respecting Arsenal fan has a deep hate for Tottenham. We love you Arsenal!
--Justin Bielinski, Milwaukee
I highly recommend supporing the Arsenal Gunners.
First off, the name. Arsenal Football Club? The cannon logo? The nickname of the Gunners? As far as names and nickhames go, that's pretty sweet.
The players? You have Thierry Henry, who is not only one of best goal-scorers in the world but one of the most exciting. They have Cesc Fabregas, perhaps the most talented 19-year-old on the planet. You have "Mad" Jens Lehmann, the German NT keeper. That Czech guy that killed the U.S. with two great goals ... he's at Arsenal now. Theo Walcott, the 17-year-old kid who England took to the World Cup then never played. Not to mention that Vieira-Fabregas situation that is a startling example of the Ewing Theory.
For the longest time, Arsenal were defensive and boring. "Boring boring Arsenal" was the chant. But under Wenger, they have become one of the most exciting, attacking sides in England. Fun to watch.
--Greg S., Regina, Saskatchewan
My choice: Arsenal. Pros: They have a smooth, fun-to-watch style that's missing from most English teams (Blackburn v. Bolton = 1990s Knicks v. Heat), they're based in London, so going to a home game while on vacation is a possibility, they always have at least one megastar, and their coach loves to annoy the English flag-wavers by fielding entirely non-English starting lineups. Cons: The coach and the best player are French (which bothers some people), they don't have a history of thuggish fans who will create entertaining headlines, and they are clearly running behind soulless, Yankee-ish Chelsea right now. If you're looking for a modern Red Sox equivalent, they're not bad. Just don't support Chelsea, please. They're awful to watch, they became good overnight when a Russian billionaire bought the team and then wildly overpaid to create an all-star team, they have a jackass manager ... If you want a Clippers analogue, you might go for Tottenham. The league tends to separate into 5 or so contenders and a bunch of dogs, so to maintain interest, you should probably watch Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham, then make your choice. I hope this helps.
--Wayne, Philly
Become an Arsenal fan. They're a perennial contender in the English Premier League. Many of their games are shown on Fox Soccer Channel -- you can TiVo the live ones and enjoy 'em like you did the World Cup, with eight cups of coffee. Specific reasons to like The Gunners (Arsenal) and english soccer (in no order):
1. Everyone who knows anything refers to Arsenal as Gooners -- fans and enemies.
2. Thierry Henry is perhaps the most exciting player in the world and he is an absolute monster for Arsenal. He is dead in the middle of his prime.
3. You'll love the pace and style of the premiership. No diving, fewer cards, more goals. It's a more honest version of soccer. I know you liked all the cards in the World Cup, but you'll enjoy the soccer more without so many. Or you'll hate it. Let's move on.
4. The diversity. Last season Arsenal had one English-born starter. The premiership is full of Africans, Brazilians, Americans, Frenchmen, you name it. Also makes for names that would make Georgetown blush. Right now Arsenal are thinking about buying Yaya Toure.
5. The announcers. This might be the best part. They're all British and they're all glib and they all know what they're talking about. The way they describe great players gives me goose bumps. For example, when lavishing praise on Henry (in a loud, thick British accent): "He's not a great scorer of goals. He's a scorer of great goals." Or: "Genius at work. His name is Thierry Henry."
6. The fans/passion. Vitriolic is an understatement. The English are an ugly people. All around. And when rivals come to town the atmosphere is downright electric. Never, ever an empty seat. When the home side scores and runs to the fans, well, I don't think there's anything like it in other sports.
If you go to YouTube or Google videos and type in Thierry Henry, you'll see what I mean about the fans and the intensity. Plus the highlights are outstanding.

Regardless of what you do. do not support Chelsea. They are like the Yankees only if George Steinbrenner was a creepy Russian Oil Tycoon. Picture this: America isn't the only great baseball league in the world and the Yankees go and buy every f-ing player from the best teams around the world and combine them into one. Then they fire Joe Torre, a respectable man, and hire Ozzie Guillen who proceeds to rub it in everyone's faces how great they are, while everyone knows that they are great because they bought all their talent.
Its hypocritical for me to say this as a Yankees fan but please for the love of god, don't support Chelsea.
Go with Arsenal. Good players, beautiful soccer, and they didn't finish in first last year.
--Thom, Brooklyn
Arsenal gives you the most beautiful brand of soccer played in Europe. They have consistently lead the EPL in scoring for the past 10 years because of the beautiful attacking style that the "professor" Arsene Wenger employed 10 years ago (Wenger has a Economics degree, hence the nickname). They have the world's best striker, and arguably, soccer's best athlete in Thierry Henry.
The EPL is soccer as it should be played and trust me, you'll enjoy the games much more than the negative World Cup games in which tactical defensive teams like Italy played a boring defensive style. You'll be glad you made the move.
Lastly, again let me remind you that as a Boston Sports Fan, you have found kindred spirits in us "Gooners" (nickname for Arsenal Fans. Beset by years of futility (See 1971-1989) and our own boring brand of soccer led by manager George Graham in the 1980s and early '90s, we have been rescued by Mr. Wenger and his gorgeous "total football."
Like I said, rent "Fever Pitch," read the book, think of the Sox, and join the Arsenal America club. (www.arsenalamerica.com) We welcome the Sports Guy as a new Gooner.

Saw your comment in the chat about wanting a team to root for in the English Premier League. The answer is simple -- Arsenal. And, not simply because it's the crosstown and longterm rival of Michael Davies' team Chelsea. Though that's a positive, certainly. It is because they play the beautiful game under Wenger -- the level of play displayed during the 2003/2004, when they went undefeated, hasn't been matched since. Further, they play in Islington which is the cool part of town (kind of like Greenwich Village, or even parts of the Back Bay). Chelsea's kind of like the Upper Eastside -- a bit stale and stuffy.
And, you can't root for Manchester United as 1) it's owned by the same family which owns the Tampa Bay Buccaneers; and 2) no one really supports Man U, aside from young girls spread throughout the UK. They are the quintessential bandwagon team. Real fans in Manchester support Manchester City Football Club. Man U is the Lakers to the Man C's Clippers -- if that makes sense. Or the Cubs to the ChiSox.
Anyway, that's it -- Arsenal's the play.
--An American transferred to London, Matt
Support Arsenal. It just makes sense, Bill. Not to mention they had a legendary goalkeeper named "Seaman."
--B.A., Baltimore
Boston Red Sox/Arsenal: The second banana. They both have a great rivalry with, and no love for, the big dogs. Arsenal finished second to Manchester United's title teams in 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2003. The Red Sox finished second to the Yankees in the AL East every year from 1998-2005. In the spring of 2004 Arsenal complete the first undefeated season in EPL history. In the fall of 2004 the Red Sox finally won the World Series. Arsenal has still never won a European Championship. Arsenal had never been beyond the quarterfinals of the Champions League until this year when they went to the Final. They led 1-0 in the second half but gave up two late goals and lost. The final goal went between the goalkeeper's legs. Can you say Bill Buckner. Unbelievable.
--Shaky, Boston
Choose Arsenal. Like you, I decided about a year ago that I was going to watch soccer and care about it. I always liked the World Cup, and when a friend told me that the quality of European soccer was actually HIGHER than World Cup soccer, I became more intrigued. Arsenal has everything: History (13 league championships all time, including the only undefeated Premier League season in '03-04); big-name superstars (Thierry Henry is the best scorer in the game, plus Tomas Rosicky, Gilberto, and Ashley Cole); they play ATTRACTIVE soccer, always looking for new ways to attack, and then attacking with speed and flair, which makes them a better choice than Liverpool (think of those '90s Knicks teams and the pre-Ginobili Spurs), and perhaps most importantly, INTEGRITY. Chelsea spends more than the Yankees, and has yet to buy a UEFA title, whereas Arsenal spends, but in more sensible amounts. They would rather blend exceptional talent in a system that is nearly flawless than try to buy a title.
--John, Austin, Texas
Henry is the gifted, agile scorer, akin to Chad Johnson minus the mouth. They have a Swedish midfielder who is like a bulldog, almost Messier-like in his tenacity. The reason I started following this team was because of No. 10, Dennis Bergkamp. YouTube some of his highlights; the guy was just awesome in his day. The only problem is that he has a fear of flying, so he's stuck in England during the season. And now he's old and rarely plays, but is a crucial locker-room guy. Bergkamp correlates to Cam Neely, maybe Joe Montana. Incredible passer, but capable of doing something you wouldn't imagine in order to get a goal. And a good guy on top of it. In his younger years, people in London would buy his replica, but have the name "God" put on the back.
--Toz, Detroit
I figured I would tell you why Arsenal is the clear choice to make:
4. Many of their players are head cases, which leads to fights, trash-talking and nasty off the ball incidents on a regular basis.
5. They rarely dive. Sad that "rarely" puts them at the top, and they do have one player who is a notorious diver (Jose Antonio Reyes, Spanish, shocking), but most of their best players honestly don't dive, Henry included. Can't say the same for Man U or Chelsea.
8. They are almost always on Fox Soccer Channel for the weekend games, as they're one of the best teams, and also most entertaining. But the best thing about keeping up with them, is that every week, the other U.S. soccer channel, GolTV, has an Arsenal TV show that replays in full all Arsenal games from the previous week. In this way, if you follow Arsenal, you are assured of being able to watch every minute of every game (if you choose).
9. The coach, Arsene Wenger ... Quite simply, he's the best soccer coach in the world, the equivalent of Phil Jackson crossed with Billy Beane.
In other words, if you want to root for a team that will make you appreciate soccer, there is no better choice. They play the most enjoyable, entertaining brand of soccer in the EPL, they have an arrogant, French superstar, they develop their own talent, and if things go wrong, they can still entertain by picking fights and committing atrocious fouls, but by and large they won't dive, so they win without cheating. You'll be able to catch all of their games, and probably find a ticket to several of their home games, without having to leave London (the rest of England is crap).
--Sam, Cambridge
I humbly submit Arsenal as the English Premier League team to follow. I undertook the same search a couple of years ago when I lived in San Francisco and stumbled upon a British pub called "The Mad Dog in the Fog" that showed EPL games all weekend every weekend. Here are seven quick reasons to root for "The Gunners:"
1. Goals. They have scored more than any other EPL team for like each of the past three or four seasons. Goals are cool. Last year they scored three goals 10 times, four goals four times, and five and seven goals one time each.
2. Thierry Henry. The most prolific scorer in England. And he's not a tap-in kind of guy; there's a Kobe-like degree of difficulty to most of his strikes. Recently he scored using a no-look back heel with a defender draped all over him.
3. Unintentional Comedy. Postgame pizza fights with Manchester United players and coaches. Suspicion that Arsenal fans somehow poisoned the lasagna served to rival Tottenham's players before a big game. Manager Arsene Wenger and his constant look of intestinal pain (unless he's doing a hilarious little jig when they score).
4. TV Coverage. You're right on the money in terms of the joys of having top-class soccer on the TV. It's a nice compliment to American sports&especially the no commercials part. (Seriously, watching an NFL game right afterwards feels like a blitzkrieg of ads.) And the announcers are a wealth of unintentional comedy themselves. Anyway, Arsenal are on TV a lot, between ESPN's Champions League coverage and Fox Soccer Channel's EPL coverage.
5. Spike Lee's a fan. Not sure if that helps or hinders my case, but I just read his analysis of their last season somewhere so I guess it came to mind.
6. Rivalries. Arsenal have two fierce rivalries that echo the intensity and hatred of (fill in your American sports rivalry here): Manchester United and Tottenham. Teams play one another only twice each season, so more often than not, s*£$ hits the fan in various ways during these rivalry games.
7. My last reason is just a general reason to be interested in English soccer: relegation and promotion. Do you know how this works? Every year, the worst three teams in the league are demoted to a lower league, while the three best teams from a lower league are elevated to the top league. Could you imagine if American sports incorporated this idea? The mind boggles considering the possibilities.
I enjoyed your comments on the World Cup. There's no reason you can't enjoy a bit of soccer along with other sports. Consider it a kind of palate-cleanser ... the sorbet of sports, perhaps?
--John, Columbus, Ohio
I know you posted this request a day ago, but if you would be so kind to check out this e-mail, I think I can persuade you to become an Arsenal Gunner supporter. You said you were not going to announce your desicion of which Premier league team to support until Wednesday, so here you go ...
I started following Arsenal when I went over to England for a soccer tournament when I was in high school and fell in love with the team after I went to a home game of theirs. Besides being a great team, they represent the best elements of sports, period. Plus, they have a lot of parallels to the Red Sox.
First, like the Green Bay Packers, no one owner owns the team, but rather fans own shares of the squad, which no other Premier League team is like and I think is a great thing. Second, they have a great rival in Tottenham Hotspur, their London neighbor, and it is probably the most intense rivalry in the entire Premier League, which is really saying something. It's probably more intense even than the Yankees and Red Sox. Third, the players are very loyal to the organization, not just the role players, but the stars as well, evidenced by world-class players like Freddie Ljungberg, Dennis Berkamp (now ret.), and Thierry Henry all being there 8+ years while turning down other clubs who offered more money. They also harvest their homegrown talent quite well, as many of their development league players go on to play for the squad their whole careers. Forth, like the Red Sox, they're one of the oldest and most storied teams in the league, they have always been London-based and never relocated, and their namesake is literal because the club was actually founded by workers who worked at the Royal Arsenal during WWI.
Go Arsenal, young man!
--Erik Anschicks, Hermitage, Tenn.
Bill, there's only one team in England to root for -- Arsenal.
First, Michael Davies hates Arsenal.
But there's more. Until May, Arsenal played in a wonderful old urban stadium, Arsenal Stadium -- more commonly called "Highbury" after the neighborhood. Sound familiar? When I attended my first and only Arsenal match in February 1990, I stepped off the Tube at Arsenal Station and thought I was in Kenmore Square. Fans walking to the venue. Food and drink hawkers walking around. Gear vendors walking around. What an atmosphere! For good or ill, the team is moving into a new ground this coming season -- think an enclosed Gillette. But that'll guarantee a top English and European contender for a long time.
Finally, there's the management. While Manchester United and Chelsea spend their way to success a la the Yankees and Mets, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been shedding high-priced players not named Thierry Henry and replacing them with some of Europe's best young talent, similar to what Theo has done over here. Cesc Fabregas, Phillippe Senderos and Theo Walcott will lead the Gunners' next generation of success -- all are young and relatively affordable.
Arsenal wears red. What more do you need to know? It's Arsenal, baby, "the Arse" to friend and foe alike.
Go, you Gunners!
--Matt McSorley, Manchester, N.H.
I am a Chicagoan who grew up with severe Cubs fever, and American sports fever in general. Like most Americans, I had no room to squeeze soccer into my schedule. Besides, it was boring. I moved to Brussels in 1995 and because of the time difference (6 hours ahead of ET) any sporting events beginning in prime time in the U.S. started too late for me to watch. On top of that, I basically could not avoid soccer, especially during UEFA Champions League games (Brussels local cable has at least one channel for each country in Western Europe, so on important match days you can flip from one channel to another and keep getting the same match in different languages. So it grew on me, and now I am a dedicated follower (I went to four World Cup games in Germany, including the U.S.-Italy match). It is true that many soccer games are dull, but as with all sports, it depends upon the level of competition ... this is why I would compare the MLS with the WNBA, and European soccer with the NBA.
Following the national team is fine, but does not compare with supporting your club. I never thought that I would agonoze over Arsenal games the way I do over the Cubs/Bulls/Bears, but I do. And club soccer in England (and Europe in general) is more intense because the relatively small size of the countries means that hundreds of away fans travel to each game. There is a lot of verbal taunting going back and forth between supporters, which provides great atmosphere (Let me put to rest the idea that hooligans and soccer go hand in hand. That was true in the '80s, but no longer).
Once I got someone to translate the cockney accents of the people singing around me, I discovered some fun and clever (and yes, quite obscene) songs. Most clubs have songs for most of their players, with melodies stolen from a wide collection of music (e.g. Go West by Pet Shop Boys, Volare, She'll be Comin Round the Mountain When She Comes). They also have songs taunting the other team's players (and managers). Much more fun than the sing-song chants in the U.S. (DAR-YL). Oh, and we do not do "the wave".
I have been to Amsterdam, Milan, Prague, Barcelona, and other great cities following Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League -- and these matches are always in the evening (as opposed to Premiership matches which are normally on Saturday afternoons), televised all over Europe, and the electricity is palpable.
Basically, Bill, it's a lot of fun and no matter what team you choose, you will enjoy the experience. But if you are going to choose one English team, I hope it is Arsenal.
Hope to buy you a beer when you eventually come over to England. London is only two-hour train ride under the English Channel from Brussels!!
--Bob Krag, Brussels
Liverpool is really the only other option and they do have the best song -- "You'll Never Walk Alone" -- but the team itself is a bit tiresome to watch. They did have a player named Robbie Fowler who once celebrated a goal by pretending to sniff the touch line as if it were cocaine -- he would have made a good Trailblazer -- but that was a long time ago.
Support the Gunners, Bill, it makes a lot of sense.

This article develops methods for spatially predicting daily change of dissolved oxygen (Dochange) at both sampled locations (134 freshwater sites in 2002 and 2003) and other locations of interest throughout a river network in South East Queensland, Australia. In order to deal with the relative sparseness of the monitoring locations in comparison to the number of locations where one might want to make predictions, we make a classification of the river and stream locations. We then implement optimal spatial prediction (ordinary and constrained kriging) from geostatistics. Because of their directed-tree structure, rivers and streams offer special challenges. A complete approach to spatial prediction on a river network is given, with special attention paid to environmental exceedances. The methodology is used to produce a map of Dochange predictions for 2003. Dochange is one of the variables measured as part of the Ecosystem Health Monitoring Program conducted within the Moreton Bay Waterways and Catchments Partnership.

Economic Downturn and Legacy of Bush Policies Continue to Drive Large Deficits
Economic Recovery Measures, Financial Rescues Have Only Temporary Impact
Federal deficits and debt have been sharply higher under President Obama, but the evidence continues to show that the Great Recession, President Bushs tax cuts, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq explain most of the deficits that have occurred on Obamas watch based on the latest Congressional Budget Office projections as well as legislation enacted since we last issued this analysis of what lies behind current deficits and debt.
Though some lawmakers and pundits continue to blame record deficits on the Presidents policies in general and his actions to boost the economy and stabilize the financial system in particular these policies increase budget deficits only briefly; they will have no significant impact on the long-term problem of large deficits and rising debt.
The deficit for fiscal year 2009 which began almost four months before President Obama took office was $1.4 trillion and, at 10 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), marked the largest deficit relative to the economy since the end of World War II. Annual deficits in 2010 through 2012, while slightly lower, each topped $1 trillion. If current policies remain in place, deficits are expected to range between $600 billion and $900 billion for the rest of this decade, reaching a low around 2015 before climbing again.
Although longer-term pressures on spending stem chiefly from an aging population and rising health-care costs, those pressures are not new. Policymakers knew about them when they enacted the Bush-era tax cuts and assented to fighting two wars on borrowed money.(These pressures also were taken into account in the Congressional Budget Office projections issued at the start of 2001, which showed budget surpluses for the next several decades.)
The goal of reining in long-term deficits and debt would be much easier to achieve if it were not for the policies set in motion during the Bush years. That eras tax cuts most of which policymakers extended in this years American Taxpayer Relief Act, with President Obamas support and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will account for almost half of the debt that we will owe, under current policies, by 2019. By contrast, the economic recovery measures and financial rescues will account for just over 10 percent of the debt at that time.
just the facts. that someone will try to explain away with nothing more an opinion gleaned from god knows where.
go ahead...i dare ya...cite 'god knows where'. or maybe 'everybody knows'. i've been waiting on that citation since 2009, and have yet to see it.

That place where you alone are heralded for all you've accomplished by your own sweat and toil and sacrifice, and where the very corpses you've tread upwards on turn up their eyes to you and yell as one, "We who have succumbed that you might rise to the top of the heap, salute you."

Tax Cuts, War Costs Do Lasting Harm to Budget Outlook
Some commentators blame major legislation adopted since 2008 the stimulus bill and other recovery measures and the financial rescues for todays record deficits. Yet those costs pale next to other policies enacted since 2001 that have swollen the deficit and that have lasting effects.
Just two policies dating from the Bush Administration tax cuts and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan accounted for over $500 billion of the deficit in 2009 and will account for nearly $6 trillion in deficits in 2009 through 2019 (including associated debt-service costs of $1.4 trillion). By 2019, we estimate that these two policies will account for almost half over $8 trillion of the $17 trillion in debt that will be owed under current policies. These impacts easily dwarf the stimulus and financial rescues, which will account for less than $2 trillion (just over 10 percent) of the debt at that time. Furthermore, unlike those temporary costs, these inherited policies do not fade away as the economy recovers.
Without the economic downturn and the fiscal policies of the previous Administration, the budget would be roughly in balance in this decade. Even if we regard the economic downturn as unavoidable, we would have entered it with a much smaller debt allowing us to absorb the recessions damage to the budget and the cost of economic recovery measures, while keeping debt comfortably below 50 percent of GDP, as Figure 2 suggests. That would have put the nation on a much sounder footing to address the demographic challenges and the cost pressures in health care that darken the long-run fiscal outlook.
