By OMAR SHAMOUT
It's hard for any rookie to find their role on a new team, but joining the back-to-back MLS Cup champions is an even tougher hurdle. Luckily for the LA Galaxy's three MLS SuperDraft selections, key personnel changes have opened the door for them to claim a spot in head coach Bruce Arena's squad as full preseason training begins Monday.
6-foot forward Charlie Rugg was selected 19th overall in the first round out of Boston College and is expected to compete for playing time up front and out wide after the departures of Edson Buddle and Christian Wilhelmmson. Rugg scored 28 goals in his Boston College career and was named to the All-ACC First Team in 2012, though knee injuries curtailed his senior season.
Depending on Arena's positional preferences, he'll vie for game time against three of the team's Homegrown players: Jose Villareal, Jack McBean and recent signing Gyasi Zardes. Under the MLS Homegrown Player rule, clubs may sign players who have trained through their Youth Development program without subjecting them to the SuperDraft.
Rugg was nursing a minor groin injury in the training room after camp on Friday, but he said it's not serious. The 22-year-old wasn't initially invited to the MLS Combine earlier this month, which he said was a big wake up call that taught him the importance of a consistent work ethic.
"It was a pretty big blow to my confidence," Rugg said. "It taught me that I haven't had to work that hard trough my career. My physical abilities have given me a lot of help along the way."
Rugg said Arena might prefer to play him out wide, which is where he feels most confident right now.
"In college I learned to play as a target forward," Rugg said. "But I'm more comfortable outside. "
Rugg admitted he's not the most technically gifted player and has relied heavily on his strength and speed up to this point in his career.
"I'm not going to do 10 scissors and dazzle you with a bunch of moves, but I'm effective."
The 6-foot, 190-pound target man said he's eager to work on his passing, touch, and of course, finishing, while learning from veteran stars Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane.
"As a young forward you can't ask for anything more."
Kofi Opare, 22, is the newest central defender on the roster, selected 24th in the second round of the SuperDraft. Arena announced the same day that Brazilian David Junior Lopes won't be returning to the squad.
Opare stands 6-foot-2 and weighs 190 pounds. He started 71 of his 76 games during four seasons as a Michigan Wolverine and tallied six goals and two assists in that span.
The energetic center back said he enjoys using his "attacking heading ability" on set pieces, which is where he got most of his goals at Michigan.
"I want to say 75 percent, maybe 80 percent were off corner kicks and with my head," Opare said. "I do like to go up for corner kicks, set pieces and try to nick myself a goal … or two," he laughed.
The Galaxy's pedigree in turning young defenders into top-notch MLS talent early in their careers should be a huge boost to Opare's confidence.
"It speaks volumes of the coaching staff here," Opare said. "Being able to develop defenders – Tommy, Omar, A.J. It definitely gives me hope."
Though he's not afraid to use his head in attack, the lean, sinewy defender said he usually tries to influence the game from the back rather than getting forward.
"I like to direct things from the back," Opare said. "I like to communicate. Some people have referred to me as a cerebral defender where I try to solve problems before they occur."
The avid Newcastle United fan certainly has the physical attributes to succeed in the league, but knows he'll need to improve his left foot and distribution to mesh with the Galaxy's style of play.
"[I'm] trying to get as confident with my left foot as I am with my right foot," he said. "Also, I'd like to improve on my long-ball abilities, switching point of attack, hitting both diagonal balls to split teams up – especially with the pace we have out wide and up top."
Midfielder/defender Greg Cochrane was selected 38th overall in the SuperDraft and is a versatile addition to the squad. The 5-foot-8, 150-pound ex-Louisville player will probably battle the Galaxy's other new Homegrown player, Oscar Sorto, for playing time behind A.J. DeLaGarza and Todd Dunivant at left back. But it remains to be seen whether Arena intends to use his crossing ability in midfield, which is where he finished his career as a Cardinal.
Cochrane said he's ready to play in either spot but considers himself a defender first.
"I'm more comfortable on the wing," Cochrane said. "But if I have to play left mid I'll play left mid."
The slight-of-frame Cochrane said his quickness and endurance are his primary attributes and allow him to play both sides of the ball from either position.
"The big thing I pride myself on is my fitness," Cochrane said. "When I'm on the outside I can run all day, so mentally it wears on the other team if they know I'm going to keep running. That allows me to get behind them, but still recover on defense."
Cochrane started all 23 games for Louisville last season and finished the year with two assists.
Wait, is Rugg 6'2″ or 6′?
"Rugg admitted he's not the most technically gifted player and has relied heavily on his strength and speed up to this point in his career."
We already have one of those. His name is Jack McBean and he's four years younger.
Benny Dargle
McBean has never relied on his speed. Or, to say it otherwise, he doesn't have any speed. That's why Rugg is a candidate for outside midfield and no one would ever suggest putting McBean there. You've got to have either speed or technical ability or both to play there. Strength alone won't usually cut it in the 4-4-2 Arena plays.
Rugg is 6′ Opare is 6'2″
Joe Dirt
More interested to see Zardes, Villareal, and Raul Mendiola. The others are chop liver.
Come on we got a 22 yr old centerback that still doesn't "feel comfortable with his left foot". Then we have a 22 yr old target forward/wannabe winger tell us he's "not the most technically gifted", ie I've got a horrible first touch and really only excel at chasing down long balls over the top.
These are the developmental issues that were talking about when it comes to NCAA soccer. These players should be developing in professional atmosphere's during the formative 18-22 yrs age range. Wasted four years playing only 3 months of a college season where your amount of practice time is limited by NCAA rules and you and your coach are forbidden to practice outside the NCAA season by their regulations.
Kids if you want to be a pro, you gotta get on with a MLS academy these days or you and your skills and development will get left behind in NCAA soccer.
Rugg and Opare will never be heard from.
Mendiola, Villareal, and Zardes will be stars mark my words. I just hope we get to see them in MLS for a bit before the move to Europe or Liga MX.
I agree. I'm a bit more optimistic about the college boys – there have been some solid exceptions to the rule in Omar, AJ, Franklin – but generally speaking, you're right. If a player is 22 years old and still hasn't played professionally, the odds are seriously stacked against him that he'll ever make it beyond a token role in MLS.
Joe Dirt
Good points. NCAA needs to become FIFA compliant. No more unlimited subs and limited practice time.
There are some valid exceptions to the rule on former NCAA players but most were years ago at times when MLS teams had no youth acadmey and Development Academy program didn't exist either.
All of Omar, AJ, and Franklin left college early to come to MLS. The same is true for Dempsey who only played one year. If your going go the NCAA way, don't stay long its stunts your growth kids.
All in all, I'm really excited about some of the youth we are developing right now. Junior Flores is an exciting prospect, already signed a pre contract with German side too. Ben Lederman is with Barcelona's famous La Masia academy, he's only 12 though so who knows at that age what he becomes. You add in some of the under 20s likes Villareal and Zardes, Zach Pffefer and a few others and we've got some good talent coming up the ranks and just in time to as Donovan and Dempsey will be sunsetting in the next five years of so if not sooner.
The future is extremely bright for US soccer and MLS. Its going to even more fun to see the sport grow here in the next five years as it was to see the leaps and bounds we made the past five years. Yes, thank you David Beckham. The experiment was a wild success.
Eric B
The NCAA could give a flying fig what FIFA (or MLS, for that matter) could want. They don't even have the same game rules as the NFL and NBA for those sports, where there could be some actual pressure for alignment.
Individual coaches might care if they lose out on some good youngsters that would help them win (and thus keep their jobs) but unless you could prove to the NCAA that losing out on the US's best 17-18 year olds is costing them potential revenue (when they weren't making any money off soccer before MLS youth academies) don't expect college soccer to change. It's up to MLS to marginalize the NCAA as a talent source…
AJ at leftback? didn't know bruce decided he's there…
AJ can play across the backline and he has experience, nut I think Bryan Gaul is more likely the other left back who Cochrane will be battling for time at that position.

Russia's upper house of parliament approved a law on Wednesday, extending the deadline for security deposit payments by Visa, MasterCard and other international card systems to the second quarter of 2015.
The bill was approved on Tuesday by the State Duma (the lower house of Russia's parliament).
Visa and MasterCard earlier stopped servicing cards of some Russian banks hit by US sanctions, after which the State Duma passed a law on establishing a national payment card system, obliging international payment operators to pay security deposits totaling their two-day turnover.
Russian Central Bank Deputy Chairwoman Tatiana Chugunova earlier said the international payment operators' security deposits amounted to $200-300 million per quarter.
The delay in security deposit payments is needed for a transitional period to transfer international payment card processing to the operational center and the payment clearing center based on Russia's national payment card system.
The international payment systems Amex, JCB, MasterCard and Visa have announced they are ready to operate in Russia through the national payment card processing center.

We had somewhat expected the fog to clear, but it did not. We waded through the Forest like amongst watery shallows, it rising until we submerged to the half. Everything was adorned with frost, the roots tripping us and sending terror lurching to our hearts like some lethal injection. I remember the moon like an embroidered pearl, hidden by dark leaves that moved like dancers.
Many times, I thought that when the wind would blow, I would turn and find the great Amaymon hunched over me, her poisonous breath turning my insides to gore. It was then that I had noticed that the trees were enclosing us, and inside me I knew that I was not mad, but Thomas would not believe me. They had been a procession along the path we had followed, and I'd seen one step out of line, a sentinel breaking rank.
I'd pleaded his name, "Thomas. Thomas?" I had said.
"It be nuthin. Yur talkin' daft. The clachan is right ova -," he had turned, and even then he couldn't deny, for the trees blocked the path we had traversed, their roots erasing the evidence of it at all. I had then seem something white in the darkness as our lamps seemed to dim. I approached it, something shining from the trunk of a tree against the undergrowth of leaves and fungi. When I drew closer to it, I knew it was a crucifix, gleaming silver untouched by age, patterns carved with ritualistic precision that spelt protection and prosperity. My finger had brushed it, and pulling, I struggled. It was only with all my strength on it that the chain brought forth the neck; the body. It had risen as if from the earth, coming upon me with white, doe-like eyes and dark hair tangled like hemp. Thomas had seen it, and I remember the sound of his screams, his cries and his retches, doubled over behind me as the word escaped his lips.
That was his daughter, her name, her body.
"My bairn..." he had wept, though I knew he was furious, and I suppose it was in that moment that I should have realised that I would never leave that place.

I am bit of a tinkerer, mostly landies in the past (which require a shedload of tinkering I might add) and am looking forward to getting some proper time under the hood and behind the wheel of my new machine.
Just a quick question: My vin lists my vehicle as a 2000, being made in September 2000 adn registered in November 2000, however I was under the impression the E46 325i's were only first brought in for the 2001 model year. I know it is probably a case of car made and registered in 2000 but 2001 year model but that begs the question "what is my car a 2000 or 2001?" In the US we go by the model year so if it is true that the 325i only replaced in the 323 in 2001 then my car would be a 2001, but it seems in the UK that it goes by the registration year so it would be a 2000. Any thoughts would be welcome.
Thanks guys and looking forward to more time on the forum.

The Welsh Rugby Union have tied up all of their Grand Slam-winning coaching team to long-term contracts after forwards coach Robin McBryde signed a deal though to the 2015 World Cup.
Head coach Warren Gatland, the favourite to lead the 2013 British and Irish Lions tour to Australia, signed a contract through to 2015 in October 2010, and since Wales' march to the 2011 World Cup semi-finals backroom staff members Shaun Edwards, Rob Howley and Neil Jenkins have all been tied to long-term deals.
And McBryde, 41, has become the final piece in that jigsaw, having agreed his new deal just days after Wales completed a second Six Nations clean sweep under Gatland's direction.
Welsh Rugby Union chief executive Roger Lewis said: "I'm pleased to say we've successfully concluded discussions with Robin and he will now remain with us at least until after the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
"I was determined to deliver the coaching team Warren Gatland wants and Robin is part of that first choice group. We now have complete stability in the senior squad coaching team and so there is real and meaningful continuity ahead."
McBryde, who won 37 caps for Wales at hooker during his playing career, joined the national set-up under Gareth Jenkins in 2006 and was retained when Gatland took over following the first-round exit at the 2007 World Cup.
He took over as caretaker head coach for the 2009 tour of North America when Gatland, Edwards and Howley were away with the Lions in South Africa.
McBryde could yet be asked to reprise that role should Gatland be offered the chance to lead the Lions in Australia next year.
The Lions want their head coach to be available to them for a 12-month period prior to the tour, and the WRU have already said they would be prepared for Gatland to miss the 2013 Six Nations as part of any potential Lions responsibilities.
McBryde said: "I am delighted to be staying in Wales to continue to build on the important achievements of the past few years.
"It is a great coaching environment in which to operate and I know that as a unit under Warren's guidance we are ready to savour all the challenges which lie ahead.
"I am a very proud Welshman so it is particularly important to me that I can now help build our squad towards their involvement in the next Rugby World Cup."
Having won a third Grand Slam in eight seasons with last weekend's win over France in Cardiff, Wales' next major challenge will be their three-Test summer tour to Australia.
But they will have to wait and see if captain Sam Warburton will make the trip after the injury-hit flanker revealed he is preparing to see a specialist over the shoulder injury he suffered against the French.

Story Script
A script in story form for my independent study at school, I figured I could get double the mileage if I posted it to Protagonize. I hope you enjoy!
"They're gonna kill him!"
"No! NO! NONONONONO!!! I CAN'T FIND HIM! WHERE IS HE?!?"
Alexander Rodriguez stared in horror as his last comrade fell to the ground, defeated. On his half of the t.v. screen "Defeat" flashed in big red letters. On the opposite side of the screen, Craig Natoli's side, "Victory!" appeared in blue.
"That was a glitch and you know it!" Alex accused. "You had fewer guys on the field... we couldn't find anyone to kill... that's the only reason you won."
"Or I'm just better than you..." Craig said with a mocking grin.
"Yeah whatever... I want a re-"
Craig went for his cellphone and glanced at the screen. He started to put it away, then stopped did a double take.
"Something wrong?" Alex asked. "Who's calling?"
"It's...It's my brother... I should probably take this."
"Alright... hey while you're up, do you mind grabbing another game?"
"Not at all!" Craig stood and walked down the hallway of the Rodriguez household, turned the corner, and found himself in Alex's room. He thumbed the "Accept Call" button on his phone and cut the speaker off before he could get out a word.
"Are you crazy? He was sitting right next to me! Could this not wai-"
"I suggest a quick change in tone." said a deep familiar voice. "You are replaceable and you know it. The call was worth the risk. If you are in position, we need you to find the flash-drive."
"He's already a bit suspicious. I wouldn't want to-"
"Your wants are irrelevant to the matter. Find the flash-drive, bring it back. Is that clear?"
"Yes... my master."
"The others are on their way. Do not fail me."
Craig, already in Alex's room, pawed through his stuff. He searched the dresser, the bookshelf, and was getting ready to head back out so Alex wouldn't wonder what he was doing, when he saw the small 4 drawer organizer. It was covered with small mismatched pieces of technology. A working PDA, two dusty older PDAs, a charging station, an Ipod... and a small silver flash-drive.
Craig smiled. Mission accomplished he thought.
He stared at the small plastic piece for a moment before a loud "CRAIG!" ripped him back to reality. He pocketed the flash drive, and ran out to the kitchen.
After Craig had left to make his call, Alex waited on the couch. A few seconds later, the back door to the porch opened. Looking behind him to identify the new arrival, Alex was surprised to see... Craig.
In a different set of clothes.
"Whoa! You were in my room! How did you get to the porch so fa-"
Again the door opened, cutting Alex off. The next guest was a tall tan male with a green hoodie.
It was Alex. Another Alex.
The intruders slowly reached up and lowered their hoods, en masse. They shared a malevolent grin as Alex slowly backed around the couch and grabbed at the coffee table for a weapon... anything... his fingers closed around something heavy...
"You've caught me a bit unprepared I'm afraid..." Alex greeted and snatched a glance at his weapon... a candlestick.
He was outnumbered, weaponless, and cornered. Only one thing to do.
His friend came running down the hall just as the door leading to the basement opened to reveal... another Craig.
"Wrong floor." The imposter Craig said as he shut the door. The real Craig looked at Alex, then at the clones, then back at Alex.
"You take that one" Alex ordered. "I'll deal with these tw-"
The clones were gone.
First priority: weapon.
His main lightsaber was all the way in his room. He didn't want to go into an even more confined space. Walking over to one of the bookshelf/cabinet things, Alex threw open the door, moved a few photo albums, and let out a sigh of relief. His backup was there.
Time to play hide and seek.
Thump Thump Thump Thump
Craig ran down the stairs and threw open the basement door. Across the garage Craig caught a glimpse of his clone dashing out the door. Craig reached for his lightsaber, skirted the parked blue van, and charged out the door. Into another clone. An Alex clone.
Craig ignited his saber and slashed at the clone, who ducked the swing and ran down the driveway towards the road.Craig was in hot pursuit. He yelled, put his energy into a leap, and swung for the clone before he could reach the street. The clone parried and retaliated with a cut, spin, and cut. Craig blocked both and dropped into a defensive stance. The evil Alex sneered at him, closed his lightsaber, and took a step back.
That was when Craig heard the garage door open and the van engine rumble to life.
No one behind the couch. No one behind the chair. Where else is there to hide in the living room? Alex wondered. His eyes fell on the closet.
Alex crossed the room, placed a hand on the door.
Alex spun. A frame had fallen off the shelf/cupboard that held the microwave. There wasn't much space behind it... but someone might be able to fit back there. Alex cautiously approached the piece of furniture. He steeled himself and then jumped around the corner and swung at-
"Well I'm stupid" Alex commented. He closed down his lightsaber and went down the hallway to search his room. As he left, the closet door opened and Alex's first clone peeked out. When he deemed the area clear, he opened to the door to the balcony, walked out, and waited.
Alex heard rustling in his room, and he picked his pace up to a run. He charged in and saw the closet door folding shut. He grinned, readied his lightsaber, and threw the door open.
There was no one there.
Alex spun around, checked the closet again, and walked left, shaking his head as he did so. He didn't notice the dark shape of the blanket on his loft bed materialize into the shaggy head of Craig's clone.
Alex sat down at the kitchen table and put his head in hands.
"I do believe I'm going crazy." He told himself. "Talking to myself isn't necessarily crazy... not until I answer back."
"You're not a very good detective."
Alex stumbled to his feet, lightsaber already in hand.
"So I haven't imagined this whole thing. I'm not sure if that makes me feel better or not."
The evil Craig shifted and then leapt without warning. Alex anticipated the move and stepped to the side, allowing the clone to barrel past him. The clone turned back around and ignited his lightsaber. THen he launched into a series of complex manouvers, and Alex, realizing that he was grossly undermatched started to back up slowly.
He didn't realize he was being corralled until his back hit the door to the balcony. The clone brought his lightsaber around and without hesitation Alex opened the first door, and then proceed to open the screen door. Through the screen door he saw his own clone waiting for him.
Raising a hand, Alex used the force to throw his clone over the edge of the balcony.
If only all my fights could be that easy. He thought. Craig's clone came threw the door mere seconds after Alex, and the two of them faced off. They traded a few strikes until they found themselves in a saber lock. Alex held his own, then pushed down hard on the imposter's weapon. As the clone stumbled forward, Alex stepped around and guided the evil Craig's head into the balcony railing.
The clone dropped to the ground and as Alex walked forward to deal the final blow, he could have sworn he heard the garage door opening. He dismissed it though. Craig could handle himself.
As Craig watched, the Rodrgiuez's blue van rumbled out of the garage and started down the long straight strip towards him.
Craig looked behind him at the Alex clone, who was standing cockily, with his arms crossed. He turned back to the van, closed his lightsaber, and then did the craziest thing he could think of.
He ran towards it.
The Craig clone at the wheel of the van grinned in anticipation and pushed down on the pedal. At the last possible second, Craig leapt.
He landed on the hood, scrambled up the windshield, and slowly crawled over the top of the van. Once he reached the back, he simply stepped off, and landed on the ground in a crouch.
The van didn't slow, and the meaty thud was all Craig needed to hear to know that the Alex clone, was no longer an issue.
He strode down the driveway and looked at the balcony. Alex was engaged in a battle with the other Craig clone. The THe other Alex clone was lurking underneath the balcony, waiting for Alex to jump down. Craig made a throwing motion with his hand and sent the Alex clone into a collision with a balcony pillar.
Alex stood over the sprawled Craig clone. He twirled his lightsaber in his hand, and then started to stab down and finish the job. He was stopped by the sound of the Craig clone laughing. Alex looked at the clone's face. The clone looked down at his own feet and grinned again. Alex looked down to see the imposter's foot... right between his own two legs.
Alex leapt back as the clone kicked. Using the momentum of the kick, the clone jumped to his feet with a slash that Alex narrowly sidestepped. Alex swung overhead, and was met with the clone's block. The clone shoved alex to the side then swung. Alex leaned back and watched the lightsaber pass through the space which his neck had just vacated.
Alex swung once, twice, and then blocked as Craig's double swung back. The clone stepped back and then swung down. Alex ducked and stepped forward, dodging the fatal blow. He spun and stabbed with his lightsaber, and was deflected as the clone spun as well. The two glared and then stabbed at the same time. For a few seconds, both of them stared. Then the clone's angry leer faded to one of surprise. He looked down to see Alex's lightsaber in his chest.
The clone sank to his knees, and collapsed. He gave a last breath, let his lightsaber roll out of his hand, then started to fade. Alex watched with interest and then checked over the over the balcony to look for his second clone. His second clone was nowhere to be seen.
Perhaps he was killed too, and then faded... Alex thought. He stooped down to pickup the fallen clone's lightsaber, and stared at it for a second.
He looked up at Craig, who pointed towards the hill behind Alex's house. Alex smiled, nodded, and vaulted over the balcony. The two met up behind the house and started running up the hill and into the tall grass.
The two surviving clones weren't far behind.
Alex was hit with a startling realization. The clones were dressed in the garb that Craig and Alex himself had worn during their previous short action films.
Had those characters been brought to life?
There was no more time to ponder the thought, as Craig had broken off to take the clone Alex, and left the Craig double for him. It was an even fight. Alex couldn't shake the feeling that this whole battle had some familiarity to it. The clone swung and Alex blocked and held, turning the swing into a saber lock. Alex looked over his adversary's shoulder as his friend was overwhelmed.
The Alex clone brought his hilt into Craig's chin, and then his forehead. Craig fell and the Alex clone brought his lightsaber down.
Just then, the Craig clone broke the saber lock, backhanded Alex, and watched as Alex also fell to the ground. Alex scrambled back, trying to escape, but realized that it was futile. The Craig clone's eyes sparkled. His face seemed to gloat.
The imposter brought his lightsaber up, and swung down with a blow that would end Alex's life.
"AHHHHH!!!" screamed the clone. Alex opened his eyes to see the clone in the act of swinging... but now the clone had a blade of light in his chest. The clone fell to the ground and revealed Alex's savior.
"Craig? You didn- I mean I saw yo-... He... He didn't kill you?"
"What is the point of filming all those videos, and practicing all the choreography, if we can't defend ourselves against... well... ourselves?"
Alex laughed. Craig did too. It went on for a long time. Then, as it died, Craig helped Alex up and the two made their way back to the house. Craig let Alex take the lead as he pulled out his cellphone and sent a text.
Incursion defeated. I have his trust, and more importantly I have the flash drive.
Craig waited. Both he and Alex had made it to the house, when Craig's cellphone vibrated. He read it as he walked up the stairs from the basement to the kitchen.
Good. We have reason to believe that the flash drive is protected by a 4-digit password. Extract the password from the target.
Craig thought for a moment. Then he sighed. Loudly.
"What's wrong?" Alex asked.
"Huh? oh... it's nothing. Its just... someone stole my password... and all my web accounts have the same one."
"Ahh that sucks... I do the same thing... most of my passwords are the same too."
"Yeah... this one was SM1924."
"Yeah? My signature password is robotech. It's the name of my favorite T.V. show. It aired back in the 80s... I have all the dvds."
"Right... I think I knew that... Im glad this guy didn't steal my ipod password. I have some personal stuff on there."
"Which type of password do you have?"
"The four digit number one."
"Me too. I use the same 4 digit password too. I'm not very smart in that respect."
Craig took a deep breath then asked the final question. "Would I happen to know this one too?"
Alex looked at Craig for a moment, "You should..." Then he smiled. "It's our AP classes favorite year in history."
Craig waited.
"1767 remember?"
Oh. DUH. Craig thought. Then he laughed. "Oh! That's right! I remember that!"
Alex headed for his room, but Craig stayed behind in the kitchen, and sent another text.
Password is 1767.
Less then a minute later he received a follow up text.
Good. Now kill him.
"With pleasure" Craig said. He quietly walked into Alex's room, where Alex was fiddling with a rubiks cube. Alex's lightsaber was on the floor next to him.
Alex loved rubiks cubes. He could solve them in less than 3 minutes. As Craig walked in the room, he had just finished solving the final side. He turned it over in his hands a few times, then noticed some writing on the white side. There was one letter on each of the first eaight squares with an exclamation point on the filling in the last square. Alex looked closer to read it:
Alex dropped the cube as a lightsaber ignited behind him. He spun and saw Craig getting ready to swing.
"Craig. No. What's going on?"
"You;ve outlived your usefullness to my master. Your plan has failed."
"Plan? What plan? If you're going to kill me, at least tell me the details!!!"
"I've watched just as many sci-fi movies as you Alex. You're going to have to die disappointed."
The lightsaber came down.
And stopped.
And closed.
And fell to the ground.
Craig's body followed soon after.
Another Craig, this one in a red a shirt with the words "Don't Taze Me Bro!" and a picture of Darth Sidious using force lightning on Luke Skywalker.
Alex looked up and spoke cautiously.
"Are you... on my side?"
"Were these clones from our movies?"
"Then which one are you from?"
"I'm from a movie that you haven't made yet. A movie that these goons don't want you to film."
"Why not?"
"I can't tell you."
"No. It doesn't work like that in real life Spock. Details. Now."
"For the moment all the details you need to know are that I'm on your side. Now grab your weapon and lets go."
"To where?"
"To rescue Craig."
"Ummm... you just killed him."
"No. The real Craig. He's been taken captive by the man who sent these attackers."
"Do you know who that is?"
"Can you tell me?"
"You'll find out in due time. You won't like the answer I'm afraid."
"In one thing you haven't changed my dear friend... you still speak in riddles."
"I appreciate the Lord of the Rings reference Alex, but we really have to go."
With a sigh, Alex stepped forward, "Fine. I'm trusting you."
"That's all I can ask."
A few minutes later.
Help me. I'm wounded. But I still have the flash drive.
With a trembling hand, the imposter Craig hit the send button, and he waited.
When a car rattled in the driveway, the evil Craig thanked his lucky stars. His boss walked into the room.
"Where is the flash drive?"
"In my pocket. Are you going to save me?"
The boss knelt by the clone, and fished the flash-drive out of his pocket. Then he stood and started to leave.
"I am no longer your master."
"What? Why not?" the clone asked, and he started to whimper.
"Stop your sniveling. You failed me. I do not forgive failure."
"No. Don't leave me. Please!"
The master stopped in the doorway and turned. "You want me to help you?"
"Yes. I won't fail again. I promise. I'm sorry. I'm sor-"
The master raised a hand and made a choking gesture.
"Apology accepted. Allow me to help you pass more quickly."
The clone's groveling was cut off along with his supply of air. After a minute he clone stopped moving.
The phone rang. The master looked around the house to make sure it was empty, then reached for the handset, and turned it on.
"Hello, Mr. Rodriguez speaking."

Caterpillar's (CAT) second-quarter earnings topped estimates, but shares tumbled Thursday as sales missed on weak demand from the mining sector.
The construction and mining equipment giant's Q2 earnings rose 8% to $1.57 a share. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected $1.52. Revenue dipped 3% to $14.15 billion, under views for $14.46 billion.
Sales fell 14% in the Asia-Pacific on weak mining sales and a slowing construction industry in China. Sales fell in Latin America 16% on lower demand for mining equipment.
The weakness in Asia and Latin America was slightly offset by strong demand for construction equipment in North America, where sales grew 6%. Overall construction sales were up 11% and operating profit rose 83%.
Caterpillar shares fell 3% to 104.89 on the stock market today, piercing below the 50-day moving average.
For the whole year, Caterpillar expects sales of $54 billion to $56 billion, tightening its outlook from an earlier guidance of $53.2 billion to $58.8 billion, due to weaker sales in China and the Africa/Middle East region. The midpoint is now $55 billion vs. $56 billion before.
The company doesn't see mining sales bouncing back any time soon.
"We expect mining companies will continue to be cautious about resuming equipment investments, and we expect mining capital expenditures in 2014 to be below 2013," Caterpillar said in its earnings release.
Caterpillar raised its full year EPS outlook to $6.20, up from $6.10. But that's still under analyst estimates for $6.23.
Caterpillar also announced an expected $2.5 billion share buyback program.
The Machinery-Construction/Mining group is ranked No. 46 out of the 197 industries IBD tracks. Caterpillar has an 87 Composite Rating. IBD's Composite Rating rates stocks in five areas, with extra weight on earnings and stock price strength.

When people think of women's health issues, breast cancer and heart disease may come to mind first. However, dental health problems are prevalent among females, and some women do not realize that mouth diseases during pregnancy can affect both them and their babies.
According to a recent review published in the Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants, there are few guidelines for dentists on how to provide oral care that is tailored to the unique needs of pregnant women.
The researchers wrote that only about half of mothers-to-be who experience a dental problem seek a follow-up evaluation to ensure that they are in good health.
They also noted that gingivitis is the most common oral health disease among pregnant women - affecting 75 percent of them. Advanced stages of this condition have been associated with an increased risk of preterm labor as well as other adverse pregnancy outcomes.
This research highlights the need for women to schedule regular dental appointments during pregnancy and practice good oral hygiene, since gum disease and its complications may be preventable.

text: Questions Relating to Our Proposed Hong Kong IPO and Subsequent Decision to List in the USInvestors have raised questions regarding our decision to abort our proposed Hong Kong IPO in 2008, and our subsequent decision to list instead in the U.S. through an RTO SPAC transaction. We began the HK IPO process with high hopes, having secured Goldman Sachs as our lead underwriter, and Ernst & Young as our auditor. The support from these two industry leaders is itself a strong testament to our healthy financial and operational position at the time. However, the IPO market in Hong Kong was severely affected by the economic downturn in the second half 2008 and many IPOs were withdrawn. We were one of them. One of our competitors, Xtep, was listed on the HKEX in May 2008. However, the share price of Xtep dropped approximately 30% within one month after its listing. This clearly had a negative impact on investor confidence in the PRC sportswear market at that time. In fact, the HK IPO window was essentially closed for Chinese sportswear companies during the period we had considered our listing. As noted, Xtep listed in May 2008, and the next sportswear company listing was not until July 2009, with the IPO of 361. In the interim, with limited visibility into when the market conditions in Hong Kong would be more conducive to a listing, we made the decision to list in the U.S. In June 2008, our expected P/E for the proposed HKEX listing was adjusted to 8-12 times our estimated 2008 earnings. Goldman Sachs, our underwriters, also commented that it was very likely that we would not obtain full subscription even though the IPO share price was set at the low end of the range. In addition, our underwriters advised us that the Hong Kong IPO market might not recover in the year ahead (2008-2009). We therefore took the advice from our underwriters and decided to suspend the HK IPO. Subsequent to our decision to suspend our HK IPO, in late 2008, 2020 ChinaCap Acquirco ("2020"), proposed a US listing opportunity to EDS through a SPAC merger and the proposed valuation for the entire shareholding in EDS would be 6 times our estimated 2008 earnings. EDS considered that the US capital market was, and continues to be, the most prominent market in the world, and the valuation for EDS was only moderately lower than that for the proposed Hong Kong IPO. As a result, EDS decided to undertake the SPAC merger with 2020. Furthermore, we understand that SPAC owner 2020 had conducted comprehensive due diligence on EDS including financial analysis, site visits of our production facility and retail stores, meetings with distributors and suppliers and communication with the professionals engaged during our HK IPO process.

Specializing in a modern approach to classic island cooking, Miss Lily's draws from the diverse roots of Jamaican cuisine and offers delicacies like jerk chicken, escovitch fish, oxtail and curried goat seasoned with fiery jerk spices. The interiors are colorful and cheerful: checkered floors, vinyl booths and walls decked out with album covers spanning 50 years of Jamaican music history. In short, Miss Lily's is an island vacation in the middle of a busy city.

Pump Court Tax Chambers has secured a major victory for the former owners of Rangers Football Club in a legal battle with HMRC.
The Murray Group instructed Edinburgh partner David Horne of HBJ Gateley, who used to work in-house for the organisation, to argue that payments made to players, staff and other employees in the form of tax-free loans were legal. Horne instructed a Pump Court team led by Andrew Thornhill QC, Jonathan Bremner and Thomas Chacko, and Mark Studer of Wilberforce Chambers.
A judgment from the First Tier Tax Tribunal ruled that the £48m in Employee Benefit Trusts payments were loans – saving The Murray Group a potentially massive tax bill.
HMRC instructed Roderick Thomson QC of Terra Firma Chambers via the office of the advocate general in Scotland.
The split judgment said: "The majority view reflects the argument that the controversial monies received by the employees were not paid to them as their absolute entitlement.
"The legal effect of the trust/loan structure was sufficient to preclude this. Thus the payments are loans, not earnings, and so are recoverable from the employee or his estate."
Horne said it was not the case that players could face requests from the liquidators of old company Rangers for the money back as the payments were made by trustees.
Horne said: "I'm very pleased that the court has managed to come to this judgment, which follows previous legal precedent on the legality of providing these incentives to employees. There's been a lot of ill-informed public speculation and it's good to draw a line under this case."
Horne added that legislation has since been passed making the incentives a lot less efficient.
HMRC said it was disappointed with the ruling, that it is "committed to tackling avoidance" and that it is considering an appeal of the decision.
The former Rangers Football Club used the Employee Benefit Trusts scheme to make payments between 2001 and 2010. Murray International Holdings was the majority shareholder of the club until Craig Whyte's takeover in 2011.
The financial fallout and subsequent liquidation of the old company is the subject of ongoing litigation (6 November 2012).

Then, in the winter, we researched and published our own all about books. Talk about FUN! My students were gaining more and more independence as they became better writers (and readers).
Come springtime, we would learn how to express our opinions. We had fun respectfully arguing with one another and providing reasons for our opinions. By the end of the year we all felt successful and I could see tremendous growth in their writing!
Now, each of these units took about a month, give or take, so what we were doing the rest of the year?! Prompts! Lots of prompts. Now... there is NOTHING wrong with writing prompts... in fact, we love them in room 102 and still use them from time to time (especially at the beginning of the year to build confidence - see post HERE). However, with all that extra time in the year, I felt like I might be able to push my students a little further through more writer's workshop. So the past two years I have made it a personal goal to expand my writer's workshop!
I took a look at my yearly writing scope and sequence that my team had come up with and decided that room 102 was going to dive in head first and see what happens. Well, the last two years I have been THRILLED with my students' ability to take what they have learned in each writing genre and push it one step further.
My year overall looked like this:
August- September: Gaining confidence and building stamina in Writer's Workshop
October-November: Personal Narratives
December: Seasonal prompts
January-February: All About Books
Early March: How to Unit
March - May: Opinion & Reviews
May- June: Realistic Fiction
We took what we learned from writing personal narratives at the beginning of the year and shifted our focus writing realistic fiction at the end of the year. We took our informative writing and expanded upon it through a writing how-to mini unit. We also took what we knew about writing our opinions and wrote reviews of local restaurants and movies. We dug deeper and I raised the bar in each of the Common Core writing genres and I am so happy I did!
Immediately after we finish our informative, All About Books, we took just a week or two to publish our own "How-to" booklet. Since non-fiction was still fresh in my students' minds, they were able to quickly identify things they knew how to do and teach others:
Right after we learn how to express our opinions in the spring, we take it one step further and write reviews! My kids seriously love this and I totally play up the whole "critic" concept.
Lastly, at the end of the year is our "toughest" unit, When we write realistic fiction it is when we bring everything full circle. We take all we have learned the whole year and create our very own story books!
All of these extended units are available in my writer's workshop bundle below:
Pin it:
Happy writing :)

What's the best way to stop two schoolgirls having a fight?
Politely interject and ask them to go their separate ways? Drag them apart to opposite sides of the corridor? Or do you do what this school security guy did?
This footage was shot back in April but due to its pretty graphic viewing it's doing the rounds yet again on social media.
Though only 30-seconds in length, this video will stay with you as perhaps one of the most brutal fight stoppages of all time.
We won't ruin it for you but essentially the clip starts as two young schoolgirls get into a scrap in the school corridor. It isn't known what they're arguing over – the only thing that is obvious is that they're clearly very annoyed.
They twirl and tug at each other like there's no tomorrow; screaming and shouting and slapping. It isn't pretty.
But then out of nowhere a gargantuan school security guard flies into the scene like a ten-tonne rock rolling down a steep hill – crushing the two girls into the floor and no doubt into a sleepy haze.
Personally I think it's definitely too much. They're two schoolgirls having a hair-pulling contest whereas the security guard seems to think he's an Irish prop against England.
Oh dear oh dear as the Chuckle Brothers would say.
