SEATTLE – The Vancouver Whitecaps came into Seattle on Wednesday with just one win in their last seven matches, winless all-time in the Emerald City, and clinging to the playoffs by a fast-fraying thread.
Oh, and their hosts had lost at home just once all season. Seven months ago.
Maybe Kekuta Manneh was too young to know, or care, about the odds.
The teenager shredded the Seattle Sounders defense not once, not twice, but three times with youthful insouciance, lifting the Whitecaps to a 4-1 win in front of 38,833 at CenturyLink Field.
At 18, Manneh became the youngest player in league history to record a hat trick, according to MLS.
Midfielder Daigo Kobayashi assisted on two of the three goals.
"I always have this feeling about the game," said Manneh, "that I'm going to make an impact no matter how much time I play, if I start or I come from the bench. I'm always looking to make an impact in the game."
The win leaves Vancouver two points behind the sixth-place San Jose Earthquakes and three points behind the Colorado Rapids for the fifth and final Western Conference playoff spot. The Whitecaps' two remaining matches are both against the Rapids.
"Well, you know it was a phenomenal game and night for Vancouver Whitecaps fans to remember for a very long time," said Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie. "I think we played a great game tonight."
Vancouver (12-11-9, 45 points) opened the scoring in just the 12th minute after Kobayashi stepped into a soft clearance and headed Manneh into space along the Sounders back line. Manneh powered by Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and took just two touches to slip a left-footed shot underneath goalkeeper Michael Gspurning for his third goal of the season.
Although Seattle (15-10-6, 51 points) outplayed Vancouver over the next half hour, Camilo Sanvezzo and Manneh paired up to double the lead in the 42nd minute.
Camilo took a pass from Y. P. Lee along the right touchline and split defenders Djimi Traore and Jhon Kennedy Hurtado with a one-touch through-ball into space. With only Gspurning to beat, Manneh traced the pass into the area and toed in a right-footed shot for the 2-0 lead.
Kobayashi and Manneh paired again barely 10 minutes into the second half. A 54th-minute give-and-go ended with Kobayashi finding Manneh in a sea of space in the area. For the second time on the night, Manneh carefully timed a run onto the ball and took but a lone touch to beat Gspurning.
"We kind of joked before [the game] that you're never exactly sure what you're going to get with an 18-year-old," said Rennie, "but he's unbelievably talented and he's someone we're really proud of and we're really glad to have him on our team."
Mauro Rosales made it 3-1 in the 69th minute, volleying a deflected Osvaldo Alonso shot past goalkeeper David Ousted.
But it was far too little for the Sounders, as they missed out on a chance to regain the lead in the Supporters' Shield race and to reclaim the Cascadia Cup—the fan-sponsored competition between the Sounders, Whitecaps, and Portland Timbers.
Worse yet, the Sounders have now given up nine goals in just two matches after falling 5-1 to the Colorado Rapids on Saturday. The Sounders are also now 0-2-2 in their last four matches after dominating MLS since May.
It wasn't a good performance today," said Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid. "It wasn't a good performance at Colorado, and it's unacceptable. We live and die together. We live and die as a team, as a staff—everybody. It's unacceptable from us as a coaching staff, it's unacceptable from us as a team, and it's just unacceptable the last two performances."
Seattle was missing Eddie Johnson and Brad Evans to national team duty, Zach Scott to suspension, and Leo Gonzalez to injury.
On the other hand, Clint Dempsey came on as an early second-half sub after missing three games with injury. And Steve Zakuani, out since April while recovering from sports hernia surgery, played the final 11 minutes.
Nigel Reo-Coker added the fourth and final goal in the 83rd minute, beating Osvaldo Alonso on a run that began near midfield and ended with a 16-yard shot that scooted under Gspurning's hands and through the Austrian's legs.
Looking forward, Vancouver visits the Rapids (13-9-9, 48 points) on Oct. 19, then hosts them on Oct. 27.
The Sounders have a short turnaround, traveling to Portland (12-5-14, 50 points) to face the Timbers on Sunday.
Here are the match highlights:
Everyone sees the trend now. Very fast young forwards slice and dice Sounders CB's, first it was Deshorn Brown, tonight Manneh and this Sunday it will be up to Max Urruti. If the Timbers win this next Cascadia match they'll be first in the west.
"If" the Timbers win? Sounders will be lucky to keep them to 6 goals. Maybe we will get lucky and Hanauer pulls Sigi off the team bus and fires him in the parking lot, ala Lane Kiffin. If I'm lucky Sigi has already been fired, and Dempsey has been shipped off to Crystal Palace for his benefit as well as the Sounders.
Haha. Sigi is becoming quite the punching bag. Timbers smell blood and will pressure Seattle all game long and should win.
I can also see Seattle getting worn down with lots of games. Usmnt games and traveling to Dallas and a trip to LA for last game of season. The first to faint from this hectic schedule will be sigi.
Rivalry games are rarely a blow out.
It was last night.
I don't see them as rivals. Geography alone does not make a rivalry.
Vancouver v Seattle is a rivalry, it isnt on the same level as Portland v Seattle but the two fan bases do consider each other rivals.
Not sure I would call Max Urruti "very fast", but maybe Portland's quick passing will make up for that. It should be a good game. Hopefully it stays open enough to avoid the tense, overly-physical rivalry game template.
byob el paso tx
Ill will repeat myself again, sigi is overated as a coach and has no emotions. He needs to take a break and seattle is too much for him, from fans to DPs. Seattle needs a better goalie and coach, and not to be mean, is sigi the most chunkiest coach in the sports world. If i was seattle, i would be looking for a new coach, even if seattle makes the playoffs. On the other hand, i got timbers vs impact in mls cup.
This made the Support's Shield race even more interesting.
New York has Chicago and Houston left
RSL has Portland and Chivas
Seattle has Portland, Dallas, and LA
SKC has DC and Phily
Portland had RSL, Seattle, and Chivas
Seattle was in the driver's seat but this 4 game winless run cost them. RSL has an "easy" Chivas game but need at least a draw in Portland to stay alive. SKC might have the easiest schedule but two wins will put them at 58 points so they need all the other teams to drop points ( thanks to the PDX schedule at least 2 teams will).
SKC looked pretty ugly last night. If they end up winning the Supporter's Shield I won't be impressed. I would like to think the SS-winning team would play more attractive (or at least more dominating) soccer. Their defense is fine, but their offense has come off the rails lately.
Seattle losing in embarrassing fashion is a sight I never tire of.
I thought Clint was not called up for the USMNT because of injury and now I see he played last night for Seattle two days before the USMNT home match against Jamaica. This is the kind of stuff I expect from Timothy Chandler, not from the captain of the USMNT. This move to Seattle is looking more and more pathetic with each passing day. Quite frankly, nothing would make me happier than to see Clint move back to Europe in the January transfer window. I wonder whether Seattle/MLS would let him go.
Who would pay that transfer fee considering his form?
Also, maybe you don't know the real reason Dempsey stayed home.
Maybe there is more going on behind the scenes.
Quit whining about soccer in the US
Wow. I don't even know what to say to a comment like that.
If the Sounders don't want Clint, there are about 18 other MLS teams that would take him. Make that 19 as new New York would too. Heck just make it 24, the future teams would gamble that he will still be that good.
Not at the price he is under contract for. There are maybe three teams that would pay that money.
The point of my comment was not whether or not Seattle wants Clint, but that the move seems to be a disaster for Clint as a soccer player and therefore not good for the USMNT, which benefits from an in-form Clint, who basically carried the USMNT on his broad shoulders last year. Clint is turning into Dempsey-Cakes before our very eyes and that was my major concern when he made the big money move, that it was a first-step toward retirement and goin' fishin' 365 days of the year. I hope to heck I am wrong and Clint can dig deep and keep the fire and the form for WC 2014. I am starting to worry he won't pull it off. He should have waited until after WC 2014 to make the move to MLS. Can anyone seriously deny that?
The Imperative Voice
May I humbly suggest that this may be a move whose benefits are delayed. I think he's easing into what he knows will be a long "year." He shows up late this summer to Seattle in preseason fitness and suffers a preseason type injury–hammy. He still has a few regular season and playoff games to work out the kinks, then maybe a Euro-loan this winter, then the beginning of next MLS season. I think his real benefit to Seattle comes after Brazil.
For US purposes this is best judged next spring, and Seattle I think is an even longer time frame. If you judged Beckham by year 1 or even 2 it was a flop. He's played a few games give him some time to get fit and healthy and in form.
The Imperative Voice
In fairness to him, there can be a mismatch between when he gets cleared and when the US has to make decisions. This affected Zimmerman of the U20s. You could call him anticipating clearance but in this situation, why? It's a meaningless game.
Clint's been with Seattle for what, a month and a half?
After being pushed out from Spurs preseason, traveling back and forth for so many WCQ's, and then getting injured?
Chill the eff out. The WC is nine months away.
If Clint doesn't produce on a loan to Europe, and then isn't producing with MLS next year, then we can all wring our hands in disbelief.
I feel an Ives rant coming on this on the next podcast.
Right?! "Cleared to play" for club does not mean "on form" for country.
Hey, I hear Dolo might be able to stand on his bad knees again. Therefore, national team appearance, or he's Timmy Chandler… Jeebus.
DC Josh
Wow, Seattle are in shambles and they have a trip to Portland looming in 3 days.
Josh D
Dempsey playing last night doesn't bother me at all. His form isn't good enough for the US team. Maybe he and Klinsi had a little talk before hand and Klinsi told him to just concentrate on his club form.
The Dempsey today is a ghost compared to him last year. Maybe he too needs a trip to Cambodia..
White Kix
The Sounders defense really left Gspurning out to dry. However, he has got to save at least one of those. To get megged twice in one game is bad. All of the goals were saveable (I don't think it is reasonable to expect him to save them all, but he should have saved at least one, and maybe two, that would have at least put the game in reach). The Whitecap's keepeer made to big saves, and that was the difference. I admit I only saw the highlights, but it seems to be time to put in Hannehman.
You would hope that the goalie can come up big on at least one or two one on ones but it wasn't happening last night
I luv the Timbers fans on here salivating over their win already
Why shouldn't they? Seattle couldn't beat a college team right now. Sounders will be lucky to keep Portland to 5 goals. Just the biggest collection of choke artists in the MLS.
Frankly Id rather choke in the playoffs (sounders) than be sitting at home from the start of them (timbers). Try making them first then talk about choking
Losing is losing, and Sigi and the Sounders are excellent at it. The only way Sigi keeps his job is if the Sounders win the MLS Cup, and there is absolutely zero chance of that happening.
Losing is losing? Ironic coming from a fan whose team is yet to make the playoffs in its history. I would not say there is zero chance of Seattle winning the Cup, it looks unlikely now but in playoff structures it really only takes a bit of a hot streak and luck.
Calling out a team for never making the playoffs in only their 3rd year in the league?
You're a genius.
Hes calling out a team for failing to do much in the playoffs in only their 5th year, even though theyve made it every year. Bit of a double standard no?
Funny thing is, I think TheTrialist is a Seattle fan.
Season ticket holder since game 1. Section 133, Row J.
There is no defending this team right now, nor is there defending our performance in the playoffs. We shit the bed when it matters.
Losing is losing, and we lose when it matters. And I'm sick of seeing a team loaded with talent fall apart. Time to bring in a coach in knows what to do with talented players.
Sigi is like Tubby Smith, the college basketball coach. Tubby is just fine coaching less talented teams where he can exceed expectations. He collapsed at Kentucky. Some guys just can't coach at programs where the expectations are high.
Well, there is a chance, maybe not a good chance, but there is a chance, and I, for one, choose to dream the nearly impossible dream.

This SOUNDERS fan is not salivating, but certainly agrees with TIMBER fans. They will destroy and embarrass my Sounders, easily.
At what point is the Clint Dempsey experiment over? Seattle should have traded Martins for Robbie Rogers.
Seattle has got serious issues that I am not sure can be fixed before the playoffs, they are just getting shredded now by extremely basic passing and movement. At least one of the goals last night was a generic through ball that absolutely tore them to pieces. They need to pick two starting CBs and roll with it. My choice would probably be Ianni and Traore but they just need to pick it and roll with it. There is no continuity between the partnership right now and it is killing them.

Sorry Travis, there are far more problems with this team then just defense. The entire team is in disarray that make DC United and Chivas comparable (maybe even better) than the Sounders. Even Ozzie Alonso is looking incredibly average. Forwards, D, and Goalkeeper all are looking pathetic. I'm hoping they don't make the playoffs, only because they would get embarrassed with, likely, the earliest exit of all the participants in a blowout…..
Pretty sure it was Camilo that made that one-touch, no-look back pass to Manneh for his second goal.
Re. Clint, he got hurt. Some of you seem to so want him to fail in this move it's nauseating. Further, history has shown that DPs don't usually click right away let alone mid season transfers. As for hoping he goes back to Europe, would he leave his family behind? He's been clear for some time his and his family's feelings on this
This is utter nonsense.
Stating a fact is stating a fact. He's failed. It isn't a we want or we don't want. He's failed.
He hasn't met even the most minimal expectations in any possible sense of the word. It was a stupid move for his career as a soccer player.
You are welcome to your own opinions, but not your own facts. He has zero goals. He has zero assists. He has 5 shots on goal in a tad short of 400 minutes of game. And he had a long injury spell. Being able to play is also an important part of a player's job, right?
That first number is the average yearly salary of an MLS player.
That second number is what Clint Dempsey makes in a month.
Again, he's been hurt, and again, it's typical that DPs in the little MLS struggle initially. Not nonsense tho you're entiyled to your opinion
Marcelo Balboa's Mustache
Can we try to cap Manneh sometime in the next few years? I know it won't happen soon, but maybe there's some paperwork US soccer can start on. I've been waiting for a breakout game like that from this kid all year. Kid is a stud. If keeps his head he is going to be very very good. And with being "adopted" by an American family when he was fifteen, I bet there's a good shot he'd play for us…http://www.mlssoccer.com/video/2013/07/05/kekuta-mannehs-journey-gambia-vancouver-whitecaps-mls-insider-episode-3
Thanks, Vancouver.

Sounders don't deserve to be in he play offs at all. Something has gone horribly wrong with this squad and if they somehow make the play offs, they will get an embarrassing early exit….Portland and LA are going to annihilate them and FC Dallas will also beat them. Oh, and I'm a Sounders fan!
Whoa — "insouciance". 🙂
Just as long as everyone remembers: "Games in hand!"
The Other Jeff
The problem – oddly enough – isn't the Sounders defense. The weak underbelly of this team all year has been lack of scoring. Tied for 11th in MLS in goals scored. Overly reliant on set pieces and the occasional lob over the top. Piling up 1-0 wins. Yet, the priority of the FO has been attacking players. The dog that isn't barking here is lack of strategy and playing style that fit those players into a durable framework, regardless of who plays on a given day. Can anyone here describe a Sounders playing style? The way one easily can for, say Portland or RSL or LA or Colorado or…?
MLS tried to buy a championship for the Sounders by paying for Dempsey's transfer team. Watching this team go down in flames brings joy to my heart. Serves MLS right for trying to rig the season.
Zero points from having two games in hand! Oof!!

As a teacher, I often hear the word accountability thrown around a lot. Of course, I hold my students accountable for their work, as an educator, I am held accountable to meeting certain standards, teaching the curriculum, filing out this form and that paper, etc. With all of the roles and requirements heaped upon me as an educator, I sometimes lose sight of the fact that I need to make time to take care of me, not in the selfish all about me mode, but the I need to take care of me to better help and serve you mode.
I've been trying to be a little more aware of my health (as in let's try to lose a few pounds, be more aware of what I'm putting in my body, and engage in more meaningful activity/ movement) and as such connected to a Facebook group through one of my Jamberry nail friends. I'm still part of that group, but then I got to thinking "What if I created a secret Facebook group for my friends to help keep us accountable to our health and fitness goals?" Two months ago, I did just that.
Here's what happened:
- I was made more accountable to my own health and fitness as just like teaching, I can't ask my students to do something I wouldn't do.
- I learned how to use Tiny Torch to schedule posts so I can sleep in or travel without "worrying" about not having a daily motivational post or check in.
- I started to do 30 day fitness challenges that alone I would have stopped at on day 10 or so, but I was accountable to the other ladies in the challenge to DO IT.
So, what started as a crazy "what if. . ." has turned into two months and counting of being accountable for the actions I take towards my health and fitness. Here's to the ladies that motivate and inspire me. Thank you!

Chapter 22 ~ Run AwayMature
She was ready to die.
The moment the man with the iridescent eyes began to step forward, she knew she had lost this fight. She was ready to die even if she truly wasn't. She began to pray the closer he came and only one thing snapped her out of it: "There's a window beneath you!"
Alice's eyes snapped open and she looked beneath her heels. The girl was right. There was a window and it wasn't that far below. She sprung into action and hoisted herself down and onto the window's ledge. She pulled it open and jumped inside to the temporsry safety the house provided.
Alice lost her balance in mid-air and ended up falling into the bathtub and striking her head off the cast iron sides. Pain shot across her scalp and she stifled a painful yelp. She wanted to lie there but the enraged yells of her captor above spurred her onwards. She stumbled and tried to make her way to the front door but the blow to her head made her dizzy and disoriented.
She heard both thumping and banging but the thumping from above and the banging from below. She tried to pinpoint what it was but even thinking was becoming too hard for her.
It was then she blacked out.

First Reconciliation Preparation
At St. Francis of Assisi, children entering 2nd grade are prepared for both Sacraments (Reconciliation and Eucharist) in conjunction with Sunday morning religious education (FEP - Family Enrichment Program). During this year, the children are instructed by their Sunday school teachers to recieve these Sacraments - Reconciliation in the Fall and Eucharist in the Spring.
You can register your child to recieve these Sacraments when you register for Sunday school/FEP in late Summer. There is a fee for the Sacramental preparation program. In order for your child to participate in this Sacramental preparation program, we ask that your family is registered in St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church and is actively participating in the life of our faith community. Most importantly, that includes regular Sunday Mass attendance and a willingness to share your time, talents, and treasure - according to your means - to help contribute to the well-being of our parish.
If you have any questions, please contact the Director of Religious Education at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 765-288-6180.
Note: if your child is older than 2nd grade and has NOT yet recieved Reconciliation and Eucharist and you are interested in having them recieve these Sacraments, please also contact the Director of Religious Education to discuss other options, which are available.

You can keep your David Bowie exhibition.
This week sees the opening of "Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum" at the British Museum and I am practically squeaking with excitement.
It's the first major exhibition of artefacts from these towns to be staged in London in my lifetime, which is astonishing when you think how obsessed we are with these small Italian towns, frozen in time for almost two millennia.
The cultural impact of Pompeii is enormous: everyone from Frankie Howerd to Robert Harris has had a go at it. The eruption of Vesuvius was compelling even as it was happening. As toxic smoke filled the sky around the Bay of Naples, Pliny the Elder sailed towards Herculaneum to try and rescue some friends. He didn't survive the journey. His nephew, Pliny the Younger (who stayed at home reading Livy, which just goes to prove that bookworms die of old age), described his uninjured body to a friend as looking "more like a man asleep than dead".
Our fascination with both towns is unsated. It's surely because they show us history on such a human scale. Pompeii isn't filled with official statuary and statement buildings but homes and workplaces of ordinary people whose lives remind us of our own. The shabbiness only adds to the pathos.
Pompeii had fallen on hard times. Buildings damaged in the earthquakes which preceded the eruption had often gone unrepaired. It was a town whose glory days were behind it decades before it made history. And the Pompeiians themselves had become a rowdy bunch.
In 59 AD, 20 years before Vesuvius obliterated them, the Pompeiians rioted after a day at the games. So many people from a rival town were killed that Pompeii was banned from holding gladiatorial games for a decade.
The portrait of a baker, Terentius Nero, and his wife is one of the star pieces of the new exhibition. They're holding writing materials, so you – the viewer – understand that they are literate people, trying to impress you with their highbrow hobbies. It's like catching a glimpse of a graduation photo; it's a much more personal memento than, say, an official statue of an emperor.
The casts of a family hiding from the wrath of Vesuvius beneath a staircase can't help but make us think of our own loved ones: it's a disaster movie as much as it is a moment in history, and we respond to it accordingly. Rome may be the Eternal City, but it's Pompeii that we can't let go.
Mirren on Mendes
At the Empire film awards on Sunday Helen Mirren was accused of calling Sam Mendes sexist because she mentioned that the director cited an all-male list of inspirations from Truffaut to Bergman. Actually, she seemed to be issuing a plea that in five or 10 years' time, there would be a more balanced gender mix in the film-making world, which is hardly the same as burning your bra and hurling yourself beneath the hooves of a passing horse.
Mirren is simply stating a fact: female film directors are in short supply. Is it too much to hope that she might soon get behind the camera herself?Reuse content

Murder Listens In(1949)
(Arrow Pointing Nowhere)
(The seventh book in the Henry Gamadge Mysteries series)
A novel by Elizabeth Daly
Take one grand house, stuff it with staff, and make it home to several generations. If they send their sons to Oxford and occasionally knock each other off, you've got a country-house murder mystery, the delight of classic English crime fiction. But if the boys are at Yale, odds are that you're reading its American counterpart, the New York mansion mystery?a genre largely invented by Elizabeth Daly. In Arrow Pointing Nowhere Daly is back on the Upper East Side, where Gamadge has been receiving missives suggesting that all is not right at the elegant Fenway mansion.

Mamis's Final Newsletter Ends Line for Stock-Charting TechnicianLaurence Arnold and Michael Robbins
The Mamis Letter, a weekly commentary that guided stock-charting investors for more than 30 years, has reached the end of the line.
With thanks to its loyal remaining subscribers, and a salute to a stock market that "has no more socially redeeming value than pornography," 85-year-old Justin Mamis signed off yesterday in a final edition of a newsletter that became required reading among market technicians, who see portents of change in trend lines on charts.
"So there you have it," Mamis (pronounced MAY-mis) wrote. "After five decades, I can't think of anything else to do in the stock market besides sincerely thanking each of you who have been compiling, formatting, editing, fixing, contributing to, following, paying for, inspiring and even criticizing my work over these many years."
In an observation borrowed from his 1991 book, "The Nature of Risk," he added that the stock market "is never boring (even on dull days), often fascinating (even when aggravating), and occasionally challenging enough to redeem it socially."
A regular on Institutional Investor magazine's annual list of top analysts, Mamis wrote the Professional Tape Reader, which he sold in 1977, before starting the Mamis Letter, originally called Insights, in the early 1980s.
Electronic Competition
Mamis's subscriber base, once in the 300s, had dwindled lately, due in part to so many of his clients retiring. Annual subscriptions, depending on the level of service, ranged from $10,000 to $20,000. Even Mamis strained to see a place for his newsletter in a world of high-frequency trading.
"The reality is there's no such thing as a good market letter anymore," he said in a telephone interview today from his home in Watchung, New Jersey. "The news and the behavior and the things that you pick up on the TV just smothers it all. It's not interesting anymore."
His final newsletter quoted from some of his best-known articles over the years. They include "The Philosophy of Tops," published three months before the October 1987 Black Monday stock-market crash that sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average tumbling 22.6 percent.
"If you look at every top we've lived through," he wrote then, "they each have certain ingredients -- internal market deterioration; rationalizations and lulling; using up buying power even though you used to know better; and waiting and waiting for the bell to go off, which proves in hindsight to be rather more of a little tinkle that you thought you heard but weren't sure enough of to act upon. The one eternal aspect of every market top is that it occurs before we're ready for it."
Stock Technician
Mamis also wrote "When to Sell " (1977) and "How to Buy" (1982).
As a market technician, Mamis focused on price movement and trading volume for clues on when to buy or sell stocks, rather than economic data and company earnings, which drive fundamental analysis.
In "When to Sell," he and his brother, Robert -- who was senior editor of Inc. magazine from 1980 to 2000 -- wrote that technicians "want to know such objective data as whether there are more sellers than buyers, how strong each competing side is, and who -- professional or odd-lotter -- is on which side. Then we know how to play the game with the least risk."
As a senior at Yale University in 1949, he wrote short stories, now archived at the campus library.
Budding Playwright
"Justin always considered himself to be a writer, first and foremost," his wife, Susan Fry Mamis, said today in an interview. "He wrote a novel and plays, and he was a member of the New Dramatists, which is one of the oldest nonprofit playwright groups in New York."
After working at the Wall Street brokerage Zuckerman Smith & Co., then with the New York Stock Exchange as an enforcer of trading-floor rules, Mamis tried his hand at newsletter writing for Indicator Digest, published out of Palisades Park, New Jersey. In 1972 he started the Professional Tape Reader, which he sold in 1977 to technical analyst Stan Weinstein, who ran it until 2000.
A trading stint at the Wall Street specialist firm Phelan, Silver, Vesce, Barry & Co., gave Mamis a chance to put his analysis into action. More comfortable as an analyzer, he hesitated to place orders -- unlike his trading partner, Lewis Horowitz, who would brag, according to Mamis, "I make money on Justin's mumbles."
Mamis maintained his newsletter-writing as he moved through a series of New York-based employers including Wertheim & Co., Cowen & Co., Gordon Capital and Hancock Institutional Equity Services, where he was a senior vice president and chief market technician.
Notes, E-Mails
Since 1996 Mamis published his letter independently. For a time, in addition to the weekly newsletter, he produced a three-times-weekly note to active traders called Justin's Stream of Consciousness and a one-minute voicemail with stock ideas every Wednesday night.
"Many of you will wonder what he will do next," Mamis's wife, who is first vice president at the Mamis/Gnall Group, part of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, wrote to subscribers and friends yesterday. "How about having a 'normal' weekend like most others?"

A Sudden Bang
A sudden bang made me jump. I shut the fridge door and walked over to the microwave, which appeared to be what had made the noise. There was another bang, and another, and then another.
Then all was silent.
I looked at the microwave. It looked back.
No, it didn't have eyes. I thought back to a book I had read all those years ago.
Is there such thing as Sapient Microwaves?
I watched in amazement as it sprouted legs and walked off.
"Hang on," I said. "Do you think .... do you think, an author is writing this? Do you think that someone's writing the Hideout?" This was a breakthrough. I was told it was the only place characters could go to be away from Authors.
"Do you think ... do you think, there's a Mega-Author out there, who's writing this?"
And who likes Terry Pratchett, I added in my head.
The microwave turned and looked at me. Without any eyes.

Euro restores the power
Tatiana Norkina, FBS analyst
At the end of the last week, the bulls could manage to convert the game at their side. As we expected, the main obstacle on their way was the Tenkan-sen line, which for a long time they could not penetrate. After consolidation the level was taken, which provoked strong buying of the currency pair, and eventually led to the penetration of even the Ichimoku cloud.
Restoration of the course in the area 1.1000 could be an indicator seriousness of the bulls, but unfortunately, at the moment the pair is overbought, as evidenced Chinkou Span line. Therefore, in the near future we expect a drop of the prices in the area Tenkan and Kijun lines, under the figure of 1.0900.
Technical levels: support - 1.0945, 1.0880; resistance - 1.1000.
Trading recommendations:
1. Sell - 1.0990; SL - 1.1010; TP1 - 1.0950; TP2 - 1.0890.
2. Buy - 1.0890; SL - 1.0870; TP1 - 1.1000; TP2 - 1.1050.

Don't Know What To Do?
- Article Summary
- Tips For Handling and Addict
How to Deal with Someone with a Drug Addiction
How to deal with someone with a drug addiction involves getting their attention, effective communication, and providing them with a solution to getting off drugs. Often, a drug addict in the family is almost lost before the family even notices. Drug addiction is one of those unspoken things, where people see no clear way to solve the problem and are ashamed of them. There are ways to defeat these mindsets and ways to help those with drug addiction to find hope in their world.
When dealing with someone with a drug addiction, do not give up, after all you may be the key to helping them beat their addiction. Also, do your best to continue to be patient and understanding with them as they battle their addiction to drugs. The steps below provide a clear means of working with drug addicts. Be careful as drug addicts tend to lie, steal, and break the law without considering consequences.
Tips For Handling and Addict
- Do not offer money.
A strung-out drug addict is in a sorry state. But instead of handing them money to go buy drugs, consider taking them grocery shopping. This money will not go in the drain.
- Sending an addict to a treatment center, especially if they are willing, can help them avoid major events like death or going to jail.
While Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is less invasive, a treatment center will have clear rules on not using and can help a strung out addict better than meetings.
- Seek professional help ASAP.
Meetings are one thing, but sometimes sharing the pain of the past is too much in front of a large or even small group. Therapists and psychiatrists can listen to the things we don't want anyone else to know about.
- Do not give speeches—choose actions.
By now, you have all the tools needed to combat the drug addict within the family. But how do you deal with them on a personal level? You no longer give money or give him the opportunity to steal, and you are making contacts with people who can help you. Now you must think of how you handle this person on a daily basis. Lectures, for the most part, will be drowned out by the desires of the addict to use. It is unfortunate, but often they do not care what you think, because they are lost in addiction. One strategy to use is providing actions with results. Help him get a job or find a place to live. These actions may fail, but it offers the addict a chance to change.
- Give the addict hope.
By offering an addict hope you are offering them a chance. The addict will make the wrong decisions on a daily basis, losing control of body and mind. They might already be devoid of hope. In order to change that, we must fight with them, tell them they are not alone, that they can have a belief system and take action. Perhaps you have religious belief and go to church (or other religious place) on a weekly basis. Take the addict with you on these trips. Explain to them that they are never alone in this world; they have both you and their faith.

Update: Both SM Entertainment and Erik Söderberg have clarified the issue. It turns out it was just a case of mis-communication.
Well this is a bit embarrassing. It turns out that EXO's comeback teaser, which was removed from YouTube recently, is being accused of plagiarism.
Several artists noticed EXO's teaser bearing a striking resemblance to their work.
They contacted SM Entertainment about the situation, but nothing was changed… so the artists reported the video on YouTube for copyright infringement.
As you can see from the side-by-side comparison, the person in charge of creating the teaser copied the Swedish artists' work almost completely.
Looks like someone is going to get reprimanded.
Erik Söderberg, one of the artists whose work was used without permission, posted a video of the piece that was plagiarized.
Like it's actually super embarrassing how the staff of SM Entertainment didn't even attempt to hide their thievery.
Netizens and EXO-L are also furious with SM Entertainment. People are saying that EXO's comeback, which was rumored to be on January 23rd, has been pushed back due to this controversy.
Here are netizens' comments on the situation, translated by NetizenBuzz:
Article: "Will they call this an homage too?" EXO teaser plagiarized Swedish work
Source: Kukmin Ilbo via Naver
1. [+[+485, -7] won't defend this just because I'm a fan. I hope SM handles this quickly.
2. [+[+440, -40]XO didn't even make the teaser and they're getting all the hate
3. [+[+371, -21]t's because of this that EXO's comeback is delayed… Their comeback's on the 23rd and teasers aren't even out yet.
4. [+[+343, -11] have no intention of shielding this. Come on, SM… I was really happy about the teaser being high quality too.
5. [+[+81, -6]gency makes the mistake, EXO gets the hate.
Source: Nate
1. [+[+79, -1]ho even finds these things, it's amazing
2. [+[+69, -1]nd EXO fans raged, "Why aren't you using the money we pay you to pay for copyright rights" and "You're using my money to plagiarize, how dare you make our oppas get hate" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+[+64, -1]hey even copied the MBC Entertainment Daesang poster too, what's up with the designers lately
4. [+[+46, -33]t's exactly the same. If they want people to respect their copyright, they need to respect the copyright of others too.
5. [+[+12, -1]XO-L are right for once ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ SM is sucking the money out of EXO-L, they should be buying copyright with it ㅋㅋ

Just a little one-shot fic I thought of. It has both humor and angst, try to decide if it is funnier than it is dark or darker than it is funny...I can't decide.
I did this fic because...
1. It was time to do a Glindaba (my term for it Elphaba and Glinda friendship. Glindaba(TM)COPYRIGHT 3Mindy3 October, 8, 2010! NO STEALING WITHOUT CREDIT TO ME!)
2. I really like the character development that Galinda/Glinda goes through and I thought it would be interesting to juxtapose the two differing personalities. I think it really puts Glinda's transformation into perspective, how they are practically two different people.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Glinda, Galinda with a Ga, Elphaba/Elphie, or anything else Wicked related! *cries in corner*
I personally don't think this is my best work, but please enjoy anyway! And I hope you feel guilty if you enjoy this story and don't review it *glares*
Galinda Meets Glinda
Galinda Upland lay on her stomach on her bed, painting her fingernails pink. Life had become so boring here at Shiz, now the only entertainment she got was by bugging her roommate the artichoke. She laughed at her own creativity.
"Artichoke! That's hilarious! I'm going to have to bring that one up in class someday." She said to herself as waved her hands around, trying to dry the polish. She rolled over on her back and sighed. She had to find something to do!
She snapped up suddenly and jumped out of the bed, it was time to do some snooping in the Artichoke's belongings! She bounced her way over to the other, less pink, side of the dorm before looking over her shoulder to check if the green freak had come in. Oz she can be scary in that way sometimes!
She hummed a happy little tune, feeling very wicked as she opened drawer after drawer of her roommate's bedside table. She was very disappointed when all she found were some books, a case for her glasses, some more books, a hair brush, and even more books!
"Come on! It's so hard to find dirt on someone if that someone is so incredibly boring!" Galinda pouted as she slammed the last drawer shut. She rolled her eyes and was about to go count the number of shoes she had when something sticking out of Elphaba's pillow caught her eyes.
"Oooooh now what do we have here?" She whispered deviously as she slid a small bottle of green liquid out from underneath the pillow. She frowned at the bottle for a moment, turning it in her hands as she examined it.
"What in Oz is this?" she shrieked.
"Put the bottle down Galinda" said an unexpected voice from behind her. Galinda screamed as she thought she had been caught by the green bean. She hid the bottle behind her back and spun around to see a very beautiful blond woman standing before her. She wore a sparkling powder blue dress fit for a queen and had a twinkling tiara atop her head. She looked just like her…only more princessified.
"Who are you? Why are you in my dorm?" Galinda shrieked in a panicked voice towards the beautiful stranger who looked just like her.
"Relax Galinda. My name is Glinda, Glinda the Good. I'm you from the future." She explained calmly with a somber expression. Galinda's eyes went wide and she squealed.
"Am I a princess when I grow up!" she asked excitedly, bouncing up and down while clapping her hands. She seemed more pleased then shocked at seeing her future self standing before her in the flesh.
Glinda smirked at her past self. "Not exactly, I'm a public-figure though. It's my job to smile and look pretty for the citizens of Oz." she explained, never once smiling. Galinda hadn't seemed to have noticed and she gasped.
"That sounds so incredibly wonderful! I'll bet you're loved by all of Oz aren't you!" she shrieked excitedly. She very much liked what her future beheld.
Glinda gave a sad smile. "That I am Galinda. Everyone in Oz adores their Glinda the Good; this was all I ever dreamed for." She said gesturing towards her sparkling tiara.
"I knoooooooooooow! It's all I dream about right now!" Galinda said, flopping down to sit on her pink bed, looking up expectantly. Glinda sighed and sat down on her old bed beside her.
"Yes, but getting your dreams it's strange but it seems a little, well, complicated Galinda." She explained. Galinda frowned.
"What's so complicated? You got everything you ever wanted! This is so confusifying!" Galinda said rubbing her temples.
"And why does future me look so sad!" Galinda demanded angrily. She crossed her arms over her chest and realized she was still holding the green bottle. Glinda slid the bottle out of her fingers and smiled sadly down at it.
"You see Galinda…I just lost a very dear friend of mine." She murmured, still turning the bottle in her hands. Galinda gasped dramatically.
"OH HOW HORRENDIBLE!" she wailed as she flung her arms around Glinda's shoulders. "What was she like? It was a she right?" she asked her sympathetically.
"Yes, it was a she. This girl and I didn't exactly get along when we first met, but we eventually formed a very strong friendship. Soon after that, something very bad happened to this friend and I was faced with the decision to stand by her or be popular. I chose to be popular." She said almost angrily while shaking her head.
Galinda's mouth was slightly agape as she listened to Glinda's story. Who was this friend? Had she met her yet?
"This friend and I didn't see each other for many years, and I continued on with my career. I did my part, I smiled and waved to the crowd, I told Oz how perfectly wonderful everything was each and every day. I was never truly happy though." Glinda continued bitterly.
"I was constantly reminded of how I had not stood by my friend, and then one night we finally saw each other again. I thrilled to see her, but she did something that made me very angry. And…and this led me to do something that I'm not proud of that ended up with someone close to her getting hurt." She said, Galinda was shocked to find that Glinda's eyes were slightly glazed with tears.
"We got into a gigantic fight, and I thought I would never be able to forgive her, but then I found out that my friend was in trouble and I forgot about everything we ever fought over. None of it seemed to matter any more. We made up…and…and now she's gone." Glinda finished before she began to weep softly.
For once in her life, Galinda had nothing to say. She has had so many friends, but none of them that have touched her heart in the way Glinda said this friend would. Glinda dabbed her tears off of her face with a fancy looking handkerchief and took a deep breath.
"Glinda who is the friend you've been telling me about? Do I know her?" Galinda asked slowly. If she knew this person she might as well get to know her if we were going to be life-long pals.
"Oh you know her all right." Glinda laughed sadly. Galinda smiled well I must begin the friendification at once!
"Who is it!" She prodded, excited to meet this new friend, forgetting about the end of Glinda's tale.
Glinda stood up and smoothed out her dress. She made her way over to Elphaba's bed and slid the green bottle back under the pillow.
"You'll find out soon enough Galinda. I came here to tell you to never take this friendship for granted. You can't change the future now that I have warned you about it, but you can appreciate the time you have with her." She said softly as she walked back to the spot that she had appeared from.
Galinda nodded and flung her arms around her future-self and hugged her tight.
"Thank you sooooo much! You've shown me that my future really is unlimited!" Galinda said proudly with a grin. She was shocked to see that Glinda was glaring back at her.
"You really don't understand do you?" she whispered. Just then, Galinda heard the door to the dorm open and she saw her very green roommate enter.
Galinda heard Glinda choke out something that sounded something like "Goodbye Delphie…" what could that mean? She turned around to ask her to see that Glinda had vanished. She blinked and then turned her attention back to her artichoke of a roommate.
"Hey Artichoke how's it going?" she said to the person she loathed the most in the entire world. She smirked.
"Artichoke, huh? Did you rub your two brain cells together to come up with that one?" she asked with a raised eyebrow as she unpacked several books from her bag.
"Pfft! Whatever Greenie." Galinda scoffed because she couldn't think of a better comeback.
I can't wait to meet this true friend! Galinda thought as she glared at Elphaba Thropp.

Wikis allow many people to write and edit a document collaboratively. Some wikis are asynchronous, meaning that when one user is working on a given document, other users are temporarily locked out of it. Other wikis strive to be synchronous, meaning that several users can be working on the document at the same time. Wikis can be an effective way of bringing together the knowledge and skills of many people, separated by distance.

How do you replace a Thorpe award winner? You put a preseason All-American and Thorpe Award candidate who actually had more tackles and interceptions than the Thorpe Award winner in his spot.
But who are you going to put in his original spot? No problem…if he's got a twin brother.
A top ten draft pick like Michael Huff is not someone a team can easily replace, but despite losing Huff and Cedric Griffin to the NFL, Texas will have an experienced secondary for 2006.
The leader of the DBs and, indeed, the entire Texas defense is safety Michael Griffin. Griffin will be moving over to Huff's vacated strong safety spot, which means he'll be moved all over the field during games, creating even more opportunities for tackles, interceptions and even sacks. Free safety was a tough positional battle in spring practice, but coming out of the fray on top is Michael's twin brother Marcus Griffin, who saw significant playing time last year, finishing with 32 tackles.
The backups at free and strong will be senior Matt Melton and redshirt freshman Ishie Oduegwu. Melton has played in 33 games at Texas and should rotate frequently with Marcus Griffin at free safety. Oduegwu redshirted last season and may only be 5'10", but he is as fast as he is unpronounceable.
Tarrell Brown was officially a starter at corner, but he rotated with Aaron Ross and the two saw essentially the same amount of playing time (registering 69 and 62 tackles, respectively) in the spot opposite Cedric Griffin. This year the two seniors will start on either side of the defense. Brown is healthy again after breaking his arm in the national championship game, a game in which he also had a career high ten tackles and two pass break-ups. Ross was tied for the team lead with three INTs last season and will remain as the starting punt returner. He will obviously need to be spelled, but the nickel and dime cornerback spots haven't been settled yet, as Brandon Foster, Erick Jackson and Ryan Palmer will all look for playing time in key passing downs.
The depth in the secondary is there, but not nearly strong or proven enough to give all of the freshmen redshirts. The defensive backfield is where the highest number of true freshmen will get playing time to provide the depth, which will be absolutely necessary considering that Texas has a pair of tough road games against spread attacks (Texas Tech and Nebraska). Three of the true freshmen who could see playing time in the Longhorn secondary have already played in the same backfield before. Ken Beasley, Chykie Brown and Robert Joseph all suited up for the South team Tuesday night in the THSCA All-Star game.
Joseph is a big hitting free safety who reads plays well. He's got good size and, given Gene Chizik's affinity for speed, might move to linebacker like Drew Kelson did. Joseph is also a tenacious player, which means he attacks each play, but can lose his head sometimes (he was kicked out of the All-Star game for getting into a fight after a blocked extra point.
Beasley and Brown are a pair of freshmen corners who will both likely play in '06, but the style with which they play is completely opposite, though they play their respective styles well. Beasley's middle name is Deon and he plays the exact same style as a Deon named Sanders. Beasley is a very aggressive corner who attacks the ball, likes to go for the big pick and has the athleticism to pull it off. Brown, on the other hand, plays like Quentin Jammer, blanketing the receiver and never giving the quarterback a chance to make the throw.
James Henry, another incoming freshman, is a big safety who was a punishing running back in high school and can lay the wood. He still needs to improve his coverage skills, but he a Joseph make up a pair of big safeties with spectacular tackling ability.
It will be exceptionally important that the young guys get experience because three of the four starters in the secondary will be seniors this season. Also helping out in 2007 will be another impressive class of freshmen. Texas has four DBs committed for '07, including elite prospect Curtis Brown. The five-star cornerback is rated No. 3 in the country and has impressive closing speed and great hands. Brown will be joined by four-star corners Earl Thomas of West Orange-Stark and Earl Thomas of Beaumont Ozen. Wide receiver Brandon Collins is a speedster from Brenham and will likely end up playing defense for Texas as well.
Overall, the 2006 Longhorn secondary looks phenomenal in the starting spots, but the depth is very unproven and will have to step up if Texas is going to shut down receivers in this year like they did last.

How to Develop Effective Content at Live Events
Clean up your phone spaceThis one may be a big duh, but I can't tell you how frustrating it is to miss a moment due to the "Cannot Take Photo" message. It's an easy house-keeping task to keep your photo folders clear of clutter so you don't have to waste time fumbling with Snapchat screenshots of Kylie Jenner's dogs, and miss great moments like these: Former Miss USA Olivia Culpo gets a glam moment, while The Nanny's Fran Drescher glows during an interview.
Learn Your Geography, But Also ExploreAt these events someone will usually walk you through the area(s) where you can roam and "social media." Make sure you know this like the back of your hand, but stay alert to new opportunities made by changes in the event structure.For example, the most recent live event Ignite worked was Go Red For Women's Red Dress Collection Fashion Show during New York Fashion Week. The bulk of our work consisted of remaining backstage and photographing "getting ready" moments among celebrities. Once the celebrities lined up to walk the runway, there was an opportunity created for me to stand right where they entered the stage, therefore allowing me to capture incredible and exclusive content moments before the ladies hit the runway.Had I not been open to possibilities, I would have gone back to my designated spot away from all the action. I'm not encouraging you to go around your event managers – I did not do that and I did not interfere with the show in any way (and had someone asked me to leave, I would have) – but just to keep your eyes and ears open to new spots that will garner a better view for your brand's followers.Miss Universe Pia W. getting her finishing touches from makeup artist – cool enough backstage moment. Pia getting hyped up JUST before hitting the runway – truly exclusive.
Stay CalmThese events can get very chaotic with all the things that need to be done, and while you're still trying to keep a modicum of "cool" about yourself when doing your job. Take some deep breaths and take your task-list one at a time. If you have team mates working the event with you, keep the vibe chill by not acting out when hurdles happen (i.e. faulty WiFi or battery dying).
A sweet moment captured by our Media team member of ballerina Misty Copeland – and a kiss shared on the runway by Alexa and Carlos Vega, shot by our VP of Community Management, who attended as a guest, but was still busting out amazing content!
InnovateLive events are a great time to get creative with your content because you know you have a large captive audience anyway. And it makes your coverage seem all the more special! Here are some Boomerangs we were able to capture throughout the night:
Lennon and Maisy of Nashville.
Singer Monica twirling backstage.
Miss Universe being regal af.
Know Your Channels' Audiences
Madison Beer, the singer discovered by none other than Justin Bieber poses exclusively for us with Sofia Richie backstage.
Do you know these girls? They are singer Madison Beer and model Sofia Richie (daughter of Lionel Richie). Never heard of them? Well, Instagram has. And together, they have over 5 million followers, comprised of mostly teenagers. So where did we first post this great capture to? Instagram and Twitter. Go Red's Facebook audience – and Facebook's entire audience anyway – skews older and probably wouldn't know who these girls are.Be strategic about the content you are capturing and know where to place it for best results.
Get Your Photo Editing Apps On PointI wrote a blog post once about the importance of basic photography and artistic skills when capturing content for social media. Those rules still apply, but now you do not have a controlled environment to your liking. So basically it's photography on level hard.
- Ensure your photos have enough lighting not to be shaky or blurry.
- Get your compositions clean of any background clutter and unwanted subjects.
- Straighten out your shots with the help of mobile apps that do wonders to the average iPhone photo.
Stylist Mary Alice Stephenson took my phone to snap her own self-approved selfie (hence the blurriness, but she LOVED this one), and Top Chef's Gail Simmons literally goes bananas upon seeing the Lumee light.
Collaborate & CommunicateWhether you're alone at the event or joined by co-workers, talk to as many people as possible to find out basic information like bathrooms and where to get a snack or water. But also collaborate in the sense of staying 100% nimble and agile when it comes to taking care of your client's needs. If you need to send a Media person to take a photo really quickly while you send your edited images to your Community Manager, so be it. If your credential isn't ready but your client expected you inside 10 minutes ago, tell them what's up.The only rule at live events is that everything could change. So plan for the expected, but prepare for the unexpected. Communication is key, so tell the right people the right things so they can help you. The backstage madness. On one side, celebrities getting hair and makeup done, on the other, Ignite sharing it all with our followers.
Celebrate But Don't Pull The PlugThe anticipation before a live event is huge. When it's done, take a step back and watch over the amazing engagement and impressions your work provided your brand. It's a pretty awesome feeling!Keep the momentum going with event follow-up posts and recaps, so you can keep your fans talking about it for days to come. And feel free to tap yourself on the back – YOU DID IT!The lovely Ignite and Carusele team at Red Dress Collection Fashion Show, with client Ashley Mora representing Go Red For Women, before and after Red Dress Collection.
American Heart Association's Go Red For Women is an Ignite Social Media and Carusele client.
