Charleston, SC. Substitute forward David Kenga scored an excellent individual goal late in the second half to earn the Charleston Battery a tie versus Major League Soccer's New York Red Bulls Sunday afternoon at Blackbaud Stadium. New York had taken the lead less than a minute earlier through Kevin Meza, but Kenga's strike earned Charleston a deserved point.
The game, the Battery's first of the 2008 Carolina Challenge Cup, was originally scheduled for Saturday night but was postponed until Sunday afternoon due to lightning.
New York started brightly and forward Juan Pablo Angel came close in the 17th minute. The ball was crossed to him from the left side but his reaction header rose over the bar.
Charleston fought back and five minutes later were denied by goalkeeper John Conway at the near post. Winger, Mike Richardson had been played in by Pato Aguilera but Conway turned his shot over the bar for a corner.
The best chance of the first period fell to the Red Bulls in 37th minute but Mike Magee's attempted header from a Danleigh Borman free-kick cannoned back of the far post.
Angel's influence increased as the game wore on and as he began to drop deeper to collect the ball. Five minutes after the break he hit a fierce volley that Battery goalkeeper Dusty Hudock just managed to parry clear.
Both sides made numerous substitutions during the second period and it paid dividends. New York substitute David Meza headed neatly past Hudock in the 79th minute from a Sinisa Ubiparapovic free kick.
Less than a minute later Charleston leveled; David Kenga won the ball just past the half way line and used his pace to elude the New York right-back. As the Red Bulls goalkeeper approached, Kenga steered the ball into the far corner.
Charleston almost won the game in the last moments through substitute striker Kendall Jageosingh but his left-footed effort was turned around the post.
The Carolina Challenge Cup continues Wednesday night as the New York Red Bulls take on Toronto F.C. at 6 Pm followed by the Battery vs the San Jose Earthquakes at 8:15 PM, $15 – $25, (843) 971-4625, www.charlestonbattery.com.

Today's embedded systems require both real-time control functions and IT functions. Integrating multiple operating systems on a multicore processor is one way to meet these requirements. However, in this approach, one operating system's failure can bring down the other operating systems. To address this issue, the authors propose a multidomain embedded system architecture with a physical partitioning controller.

McCree's eager to shore up secondary
SAN DIEGO -- Marlon McCree's internal engine continues to red-line, despite the fact that he owns a $16 million contract.
The Chargers' new free safety never got over getting passed over in the 2001 draft, spiraling from a projected third-rounder to a seventh-rounder as the 233rd selection.
He never shook getting cut by the Jaguars after the 2003 opener.
"I have a motor inside of me that won't stop," McCree said Thursday. "Every game, every year I try to prove all my critics wrong and myself wrong. Sometimes you say to yourself, 'Maybe they were right.' "
The left coast is where McCree landed, making him the lone recognizable free agent the Chargers signed last offseason. McCree is being asked to solidify a shaky secondary with his nose for the football and hard-nosed tackling, which is done with a purpose that's not easy to miss.
"It's his leadership," said teammate Terrence Kiel, a strong safety. "He is a good guy off the field, and that makes him a better guy on the field."
The Chargers' pass defense was the field of screams last year. While the run-stuffers strutted about, wearing the crown of being No. 1, the No. 28 pass defense was just getting crowned.
Enter McCree, the Panthers' second-leading tackler last year with 95 stops at free safety. McCree also had a team-high six interceptions for the Jaguars in 2002 at strong safety.
The safe bet is placing McCree, a six-year pro, somewhere in the defensive backfield. The risk is deciding if he's better suited at free or strong safety.
"I was a linebacker in college, so I like being down in the box as a strong safety," said McCree, a three-year starter at Kentucky. "But I also have a knack for the football, and that is what a free safety does. I can play either one and I just like being on the field; just wherever they think I can best help this team is where I'm going to play."
To date, that's at free safety, although he has run some at strong safety with the third-string defense. But free is McCree's home, setting up a dynamic competition at strong safety between Bhawoh Jue, Clinton Hart and Kiel.
The Chargers seek an even defensive keel. But McCree counters that with the Chargers' stingy run defense, the pass defense's numbers can be askew and the team can still be successful.
Good point. The Packers led the NFL in pass defense last year and finished 4-12. The Jets were No. 2 and matched Green Bay's mark. At No. 3, the Saints were 3-13.
Yes, the Chargers' pass defense was marched on, allowing about 225 yards per game. But McCree contends it's when and where the yardage is gained.
"We need to get off the field on third downs, keep them out of the end zone and don't get beat on the deep ball," McCree said. "Those 5-, 10-, 15-yard gains won't beat you. It's the big play and touchdowns that will beat you."
So McCree beats the drum, promising the secondary won't be scorched. He all but guarantees -- considering the unit's active front seven -- that the defensive backfield will get its mitts on more than last year's seven picks.
"I see it turning," McCree said. "We've got to be the benefactors of such a great pass rush. We ought to get a lot of interceptions just because the quarterback is throwing it off his back leg."
McCree once wondered if his career had an NFL leg to stand on. Stand near him, and that hum from his engine tells you it does.
CHARGERS NOTES -- The team held the first of its three night practices on Thursday at Chargers Park, but at a slight cost. RB LaDainian Tomlinson's evening was cut short by a strained neck, TE Antonio Gates was pulled from drills with a sore hamstring and LT Leander Jordan left early with a groin ailment. None of the injuries are expected to be serious. Ö Coach Marty Schottenheimer couldn't help but notice the upbeat tempo under the lights. "It energizes the players," Schottenheimer said. "It's nice and cool, and with the light we all revert back to the days when we were in high school.". Ö LB Shawne Merriman continues to miss time with a strained hamstring, but he anticipates practicing at Saturday's FanFest at Qualcomm Stadium. The players will meet the fans from 10:15-11 a.m., then work from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Ö The team's 3 p.m. practice today at Chargers Park is open to the public.

THE LIST Peter Jackson films
1 "Dead Alive." Before "Lord of the Rings" vaulted him to fame, Peter Jackson was just another director. This outrageous horror film from 1992 earned him a cult following. "Dead" features more buckets of blood than a block of blood banks when a mutant virus turns a boy's evil mother into a zombie.
2 "Heavenly Creatures." More evil, told with more subtlety and in an artier way. Two BFFs spend so much time together, one of their mothers decides they should stop seeing each other. So the girls decide to kill her. Based on a true story, it stars a young Kate Winslet. Jackson earned an Oscar nom for co-writing the screenplay.
3 "The Frighteners." Jackson's first Hollywood film stars Michael J. Fox as an architect who can suddenly see dead people after a car accident injures him and kills his wife. Jackson goes for both laughs and horror, and the result is uneven but fun.

|As I did this,
I realized that I had never really thought about the
"Babe in the Manger"
coming as a Lamb till I read this verse;
"Then I saw a Lamb"
from Revelation 5:6.
|I was fully aware that John the Baptist had said,
"Behold the Lamb of God
that takes away the sin of the world"
(John 1:29).
|But I never really thought about
how God the Father must feel as He sent His Son to earth,
knowing that His Son would be the Sacrificial Lamb
that would take my place,
so I could be forgiven of my sins
and have the gift of eternal life.

WASHINGTON – The percentage of veterans looking for work continued to rise in December, with younger veterans faring the worst, according to the latest figures released Friday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The unemployment rate for all veterans reached 7 percent, up from 6.6 percent in November and 6.3 percent in October. The last time the overall veterans unemployment rate had been at 7 percent or higher was in July 2012.
The unemployment rate for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, already higher than the veteran population as a whole, rose by a greater margin to 10.8 percent in December, compared to 10 percent in November.
The overall U.S. unemployment rate in December held steady from the previous month at 7.8 percent.
But compared to December 2011, unemployment for both groups was lower, falling from 7.7 percent for all veterans and 13.1 percent for recent veterans.
The Associated Press reported that U.S. employers added 155,000 jobs in December, a steady gain that shows hiring held up during the tense negotiations to resolve the fiscal cliff.
The solid job growth wasn't enough to push down the unemployment rate, the Labor Department said Friday.

"Roots Infused Power Groove" will be the name of the game at Rojo's Tavern in South Lake Tahoe Friday when Bend, Oregon's Strive Roots takes the stage.
The band is the brainchild of Eli Lieberman, a longtime musician and artist who took up guitar following a 1997 snowboard crash that left him bedridden for almost three months, according to a short biography from the band. He formed Strive Roots several years later.
"In 2002 he took his new found composition and production skills, mixed in his diverse musical experience, from African drumming, jazz trombone and a cappella choir, to form Strive Roots and create a genre-defying, infectious new sound he dubbed 'Roots Infused Power Groove'," according to the biography. "Strive Roots steadily grew in popularity as they toured and played shows from Colorado to California.
"In 2006, Hannah Teter, Olympic Gold Medalist for women's half pipe was listening to Strive Roots on her winning run which led to global publicity from magazines like People, Time, ESPN, and Snowboarder as well as mentions on David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, The Today Show and Jay Leno. Since then Strive Roots has played with the likes of Michael Franti, Pato Banton, The Doobie Brothers, Buck-o-Nine, Blackalicious, John Pauper and De la Soul."

ST. LOUIS - "Our message is clear," J. David Cox, international president of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) said, "sequestration will have a tremendous negative impact, not only on our members, but on all Americans."
"Eventually, everybody will feel the pain," Cox added.
Cox, with about 250 AFGE members and supporters, rallied outside Republican U.S. Senator Roy Blunt's office here March 20 to protest the $85 billion in across-the-board cuts to vital social services and the military, known as sequestration.
While Blunt has supported amending sequestration to protect meat and poultry inspectors from furloughs, this is largely seen as an attempt to placate agribusiness as there are 148 meat and poultry facilities in rural Missouri. Under the terms of sequester, every meat, poultry and egg processing facility in the country could be forced to shut down for two-weeks between April and October, cutting into their profits. These facilities also employ thousands of people - and thousands of voters.
AFGE wants Blunt to support repealing sequestration, and raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations to help pay-down the federal budget deficit, not furlough federal employees, especially in this weak economy.
The protest was one of more than 150 rallies that took place all across the country led by AFGE and the AFL-CIO.
AFGE represents about 700,000 federal employees nationwide, and according to Cox "about 500,000 of them are subject to furloughs," including about 10,000 in the St. Louis area.
"Sequestration is bad for our country and for our economy," Cox continued. "The government needs to be creating more jobs, not less."
Randy Kiser, Midwest AFL-CIO field organizer, said, "Continuing tax breaks for the wealthy, while forcing hard working federal employees to go on furlough is outrageous."
According to the union, most of their members will face up to 22 days of unpaid furlough.
"Forcing hardworking Americans to take pay cuts will have a direct impact on our local economy," said Steven Hollis, president of AFGE Local 3354 here in St. Louis.
"Less money in their pockets means less money to spend locally on food, clothing, rent and other goods and services," Hollis continued. "Our elected officials should work together to strengthen our still-shaky economy, not pull the rug out from under local businesses and undermine recovery."
According to Cox, sequestration will impact "planes on the runway, air traffic controllers, sanitation and inspection workers and our veterans. This isn't just about us."
AFGE members include employees in the following agencies: Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, the Social Security Administration, the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Justice.
"If federal employees are furloughed without pay, if offices and plants are shut down, if vacancies aren't filled because of these across-the-board budget cuts, then federal employees won't be able to do the work that the American public expects them to do," Cox added.
As union members and their supporters rallied, they chanted, "Sequestration has got to go! We don't want no furlough!"
Martin Rafanan, co-chair of the St. Louis Jobs with Justice Workers' Rights Board, said, "Sequestration will impact the entire community by cutting essential services. People rely on these vital services. The least among us will suffer the most."
"These workers are standing up for the entire community, and we need to support them and stand with them," Rafanan concluded.
