- SunTrust accelerated the termination of the agreements regarding the shares owned in The Coca-Cola Company. This will generate a third quarter pre-tax gain of approximately $1.9 billion.
- In light of ongoing discussions with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Company expects to record an estimated $375 million mortgage repurchase provision during the quarter. This action increases the mortgage repurchase reserve to a level that is expected to be sufficient to cover the remaining demands on loans sold to the Government Sponsored Enterprises ("GSEs") prior to 2009. This is the population of loans from which the Company has experienced the preponderance of mortgage repurchase losses to date.
- SunTrust intends to transfer approximately $3 billion of loans to loans held for sale. The loans include nonperforming mortgage loans, nonperforming commercial real estate ("CRE") loans, delinquent Ginnie Mae loans, and delinquent and current student loans. In connection with the transfer, SunTrust expects to record pre-tax charges of approximately $250 million, reflective of market valuation adjustments.
- SunTrust also intends to sell approximately $200 million of affordable housing investments. As a result, the Company expects to incur a pre-tax loss of approximately $100 million.
ATLANTA, Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SunTrust Banks, Inc. (NYSE: STI) today announced a series of actions in the third quarter 2012 that better position the Company for the future. Summary of Actions

Lia Lando / 10WHEC
Posted in the Rochester Forum
#2 Jan 18, 2011
If she went to Channel 13, I would go back to watching it, even with Don there. She is a good newscaster, and really nice to look at. Hey, Chan 10, get hi def for her.
#3 Jan 18, 2011
It's time to put Old Gray Balls and Doug out to pature and let that stable of MILFS run things at 13.
#4 Jan 18, 2011
Never happen. One day Don will just freeze up and die on the air, right after he drools and says "and push the green find-it button". Doug will step over him and take control, not missing a scowl.
#5 Jan 18, 2011
^^^^^^^^dream crusher^^^^^^^^
#6 Jan 18, 2011
Replace Don and Doug with Lia. Its time for a change.
#7 Jan 18, 2011
That would be a great change. Don is harshing my mellow lately.
I like her a lot.

You all wanted change and got it when that rat basturd o'bomma took office as prez and now yer really sorry cause he sold the great USA down the road to everyone. Don Alhart is the old school mainstay of news channels in Rochester, You all have no respect for your selves let alone for anyone else in the world! Take a long walk off a short pier and let the rest of the world keep going without you!!! Tell him what you think of him to his face, You won't cause yer all scared little chickens!! hahahaha

Hey, hey, hey, take a deep breath. Now let it out. All better. Not all of us are as smart as you.

Channel 10 Needs to retire Janet Lomax and make Lia full Time Anchor. She is smoking along with Nikki Rudd.
#17 Jan 19, 2011
They would own the market. What an opportunity. Great idea.
#19 Jan 19, 2011
Aside from being attractive, she does a great job of presenting a story.
She is certainly head and shoulders better than Don Alhart or Janet Lomax, and the rest of the old guard. I think she is doing a great job, but she won't last in Rochester very long. A bigger market will grab her.
They should move Kevin Williams to Channel 13, just to finish it off. Then they could have the worst news and weather together.
#20 Jan 19, 2011
Tv 10 is doing something new. The Rochester market is starving for new news and how it is presented. Don Alhaet is a dino from the past.
#21 Jan 19, 2011
TV10 is taking some chances, and trying out new programming. I hope it works out well for them. Channel 13 just plods along, nothing ever changes. This may have worked in the past, but we have far more choices now.
They should let someone else have the 6 PM slot on 13. Don is a relic.
#22 Jan 19, 2011
Wow lia was real flirty on the 500 news today
#23 Jan 19, 2011
She is pretty good, better than Don. Or Rachel. Or anybody at 13.
#24 Jan 19, 2011
Don is a Dinosaur. He started in the 1960's. Lea is on at 6PM tonight. I guess you know I am not watching Don the Dinosaur on 13.
#25 Jan 19, 2011
Don ought to click the find it button for a condo in Florida. Retire already.

Band of Brothers Book/Bible Study
Monday, October 27
Coordinator: Chris Hamrick
You will need to order your book online.
Band of Brothers will be studying the book The Sacred Romance: Drawing Closer to the Heart of God by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge.
In the heart of every person lies an inconsolable longing. Men often know it as the hunger for adventure. It is the secret to our lives. It tells us who we are and what our life was meant to be. If you have ever felt that this "Christianity" thing must have more to offer, or struggled with what a "Personal Relationship with Jesus Christ" would really look like, then now is your chance to figure things out. Let's explore how life is more than chores, and Christianity is more than duty. Let's explore how life is truly a Sacred Romance … set in the midst of a life and death battle, where God is pursuing you (His beloved) and the evil one is doing everything he can to stop you … and let's figure out how we can rest securely in God's love and find the real relationship He intended us to be in.
This study will be held in the Well at Calvary Church.
If you have any questions, please contact Chris Hamrick at email@example.com or 219-898-2820 or Joe Geary at firstname.lastname@example.com.

| Jazlynn chapter 1 . 7/23/2009
I looked at the pairing of this story and was like "What? Xaldin and Aurora? Really?" I couldn't resist reading it though. And I'm glad I read it. It was interesting to see Xaldin in a different light. I never got the greatest impression of him from the game. But this story gave me a better look at his character and it made me feel sad at the end of it. Nicely accomplished. :3

News Story
Member reactions:
Too sad, especially for the friends that found him. You should always use the emergency brake when parking, before you put it in park. It is not good to use your transmission to hold the car. Over time it makes the transmission sloppy. If you've ever put your car in park, say on a hill, took your foot of the brake and the car rolls forward until the transmission stops it is why.
Agreed, terrible loss, sad and a horrific way to die or find a friend. I carry chocks in the back for hill parking.
Congrats, Hits. Love the Sci-fi Tech backgrounds, they are great. Mezcotoyz. Awesome Tribute. RIP Anton. Such youth and talent, Damn. what a tragedy.

I bet you say that to all the guys that are more handsome than you. TY, all fixed
Quality work. The face lost some resemblance though. That trick with making the nose tiny and lowering / enlarging the jaw takes away quite a bit of the recognizable character from the face.
You are kidding, right. That is Princes face without anything done. I took out the modified one and put back the original But thanks... I think
Thanks John. It has taken off out there on the web. Quite a few shares already. Probably good I went back to the original face. I have a policy on changing chops that parallels Stephen King's policy on critiques. If you get negative input from one person it is opinion. If you get the same input from two, listen up and from three, you got a problem. Fix it.

Professors Are More Likely to Mentor You If You're a White Man
According to a recent study, professors are much more likely to be willing to meet with students who are white and male than they are with minority and female students.
The Wharton School recently tried an experiment where it sent the exact same email to 6,500 professors at 259 schools across the United States, posing as a student requesting a meeting. The only difference was that some of them were from a student named "Brad Roberts," while others had names like "Meredith Roberts, Lamar Washington, LaToya Brown, Juanita Martinez, Deepak Patel, Sonali Desai, Chang Wong," and "Mei Chen."
From the Wharton School's Blog:
"All they were measuring was how often professors wrote back agreeing to meet with the students," notes NPR's Shankar Vedantam. "And what they found was there were very large disparities. Women and minorities [were] systematically less likely to get responses from the professors, and also less likely to get positive responses from the professors."
Faculty at private universities, business schools and those in "lucrative" (read: non-humanities) fields were more likely to discriminate than those at public schools or those who work in the humanities.
Racial bias was most evident against Asian students, which surprised researchers, who assumed the stereotype of "Asians as a model minority group" would be reflected in faculty response. The assumption, as well as the final data, reveal how both Southeast Asians and East Asians collectively remain the silent minority whose mythic "model minority" status conceals their lived discrimination in American culture.
According to The Wharton School, this study suggests that woman and minority students aren't receiving the institutional support that allows white men to graduate at a rate six times that of black and latino men.

"When the dog star dims there will be a dreadful destruction... vengeance will be craved... many shall pass by his bloody hands... when the dog star dims... none will stand before the lion's wrath... he shall make all repent... when the dog star dims..."
Filius Flitwick blinked, looking at the ancient lady that stared right at him. He had been excited, running around all of the stores in Diagon Alley. He was going to Hogwarts, after all. He had managed to make it to the Leaky Cauldron, while his parents were talking to someone they knew. He had thought the corner was empty, so he had gone there with his pumpkin juice. However, it hadn't been empty; a woman so old and shrunken that he hadn't seen had been sitting there.
The eleven-year-old boy looked around, confused. Who was this lady? Where was her family? Why had she told him anything?
The bartender came over and looked at Filius worriedly. "D-Did she say something?" When the boy nodded, the man swore quietly.
"Sir?" Filius asked, worried.
"Do you know who she is?" The bartender demanded, his voice a soft hiss. When Filius shook his head, the man said, "That's Cassandra Trelawney."
Oh. Filius had heard about the famous Seer. The bartender looked as if he were going to speak, but she spoke again.
"The young lion shall slay the older lion... his vengeance will have no end... the snake with seven heads shall be destroyed... when the dog star dims... the young lion shall reign... he shall slay all in his way... when the dog star dims..."
Filius looked at the bartender, "She said something like that, right before you came." He repeated the older woman's words. The bartender shook his head, utterly confused.
"It seems like a particularly disturbing pro-"
At this moment, Cassandra Trelawney reached forward, grabbing Filius, looking at him desperately. "This is how our world will end... when the dog star dims... this is how our world will end... when the lion's sword reaps all... this is how our world will end... when the dog star dims... this is how our world will end..."
The bartender was pale, his eyes wide in worry and fear. He went to the fireplace, probably using it to get someone, but Filius couldn't get the words out of his head.
Our world will end.
The woman was crying, and Filius felt like joining her. A few people from the Ministry looked anxious-they must had just come through the fireplace.
"That's a lot of prophecies for one day, let alone in the last few minutes," one of the Ministry wizards said quietly. They were speaking softly, worried.
Filius was worried too, but confused. Sirius was a star in the constellation Canis Major. And it would probably explode with a supernova, so how could it dim? What would the star have to do with their world ending?
"Oh son, there you are. Come on now, we have shopping to finish!" Filius's parents had found him.
Cassandra Trelawney's eyes never left Filius's, and the short boy couldn't help but look at her as he stood to leave the Leaky Cauldron. Only he heard her next words:
"You will see our world end, oh small raven. But if your tears are of joy or sadness, I cannot see..."
Filius quickly hurried after his parents, trying very hard to put all of the Seer's words out of his head. He was going to Hogwarts... and he was most definitely not going to take Divination!
A/N: Gasps of horror that it's cut off and says complete, right? Well, there's actually a reason for this, and no, it's not me being cruel or mean.
The reason is because I figured other folks could take this bit as an inspiration, could write some awesome stories for it. I have enough trying to keep up with my few that I'm horrible at updating!
So if anyone makes a fic for this or just wants to tell me to stay away from darkish things or just wants to even agree with me that pie is better than cake (cause I totally think it is), well, feel free to let me know a la review! And if you do write a story, please link it or tell me the title and I'll find it, because I'd love to see what you think up! And if you want someone else to hear the dog star prophecies, just write it up that way too!
Thanks for reading!

text: Hi, In Win7 and Windows Server 2008, a 100MB partition is created for backup/restore purposes and labelled 'System Reserved Volume'. This partition has been created on a 12TB MBR drive I wish to make use of, but I can only take advantage of 2TB unless I switch the drive to GPT. In order to switch the drive to GPT, I first need to either move, or delete the 100MB partition from my 12TB drive. I have one other 600GB drive in the box, which has a single partition containing my C: drive, and is the primary Windows partition. This advice has not worked for me: Ed's System Admin Blog: Removing the 100MB System Reserved Partition from Server 2008 R2 or Win7 (the partition is still not available to delete after the steps mentioned) and this hack is not applicable as I've already installed the OS: Hack to Remove 100 MB System Reserved Partition When Installing Windows 7 Any further advice much appreciated.

Very easy to use, my Z10 camera. Great handling, because of the ergonomics and size. Very good battery management, enabling me to take more pictures. Fast seeing of previous taken photos, its a very useful feature and very eficient also. Nice optical zoom, for the price. Problems: It's takes quick shots, but I was expecting it could be quicker. Depends of the exposure, pherhaps... Doesn't fit in my pocket, but a result of my choice.

This camera produces great result straight out of the camera. Nice sharpness, not that much noise, well saturated images, good fast 8X lens. Very fast to use, fast focus. Problems: Why the heck did they not include a microphone for the sound? Is looong time since we had movies without sound! Come on, this is the 20th century! Small screen, 1.5" really is not that much. Poor fps. Only 1.3 and limited to a couple of shots.View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Fantastic value for the money (especially now) 1. Accurate and vibrant color 2. Lots of features, the d-pad used for shutter speed/aperture easily under thumb and are easily accessed without looking at them - it's a photographer's camera 3. Really fast startup, and everything is self contained so lens doesn't extend from body - this helps the startup time 4. good zoom range, a little tight at the wide end though (as most P&S digicams are) 5. Really good flash metering, even in macro Speaking ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Ottima fotocamera con molteplici funzioni in manuale ed in automatico. Stabilizzatore d'immagine ottimo ed eccellente qualità delle immagini anche grazie al superlativo obiettivo. Unica pecca eccessivo rumore alle sensibilità più alte. Facilissima da usare e comandi molto intuitivi. Bassissimo consumo delle batterie (con delle ricaricabili non di marca da 2200mh si fanno circa 300 scatti con flash + 150 senza flash).View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Excellent value for the money. The 8x zoom is great, although not being image stabilized, you have to watch for camera movement when zoomed out. Very excellent macro, minimum field of view ONE INCH! Good for bugs and such if you're interested in such things. Battery life is also quite good, camera will work ok with regular batteries, although it is best to use NiMH rechargables. Problems: NoneView review in forums Leave a comment on this review
This is my first digital, and I am convinced digital is the way to go with this camera. Easy to carry around (not heavy), easy to use with a lot of features. I could easily recommend this to anyone up through Amateur level. Problems: Focusing in dim light and the shutter lag.View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Low power consumption. Fast start (0.5s). Very good quality of photos. Low noise from 64 to 200 ISO.View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
The construction is great in the sence that there are absolutely no moving details outside the camera (but the buttons of course). Zoom works inside the lense tube and the flash is hard-builtin too. The battery door looks weak though. The flash is placed near the lense and thus you are getting reddish eyes in every indoor shot even in red-eye suppression shutting mode. The most annoying thing is that there is one programmed button only and there are no user presets at all. It would be VERY ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review

text: Tom Orsborn All signs point to tight end Jason Witten (concussion) and cornerback Mike Jenkins (knee) playing Sunday at Houston. "Right now, it looks like they will play," coach Wade Phillips said Monday. "Witten is more like DeMarcus Ware was last week (with a slight concussion). Jenkins has a bruised knee. He may be a little slower." Witten was injured midway through the fourth quarter Sunday when the back of his helmet slammed onto the turf at Cowboys Stadium at the end of a 23-yard reception. A few minutes later, Jenkins hurt his right knee while attempting to fight off a block during a 38-yard run by Chicago's Devin Hester. LINK to article

Do you think the fact that the talent on offense this team has had is among the worst in the league has anything to do with it's struggles?
Well, the talent at QB that Billick picked were all failures
Boller, Grbac, Case, Mitchell etc., all guys hand picked by Billick, not to mention the QB who took us to the Superbowl was later dumped by Billick and an up and coming superstar who is now in Cleveland was cut by Billick.
Just about all of his personnel decisions involving Quarterbacks have been horrible.
Don't go and make excuses that the Offensive talent he was given was crap.
The only good decision Billick made in his coaching tenure was to bench Tony Banks in favor of Trent Dilfer.

Acne, hair loss, dark hairs. . . oh my! If this sounds like you, I assure you this is a blog you want to read.
Often you hear people refer to androgens as "male hormones," but don't be fooled women produce androgens too. In fact, women actually need some androgens. In women, androgens are produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands (small glands that sit on top of your kidneys) and fat cells. Androgens help women maintain lean muscle mass and improve libido, endurance and stamina. However, like anything, too much of a good thing can cause problems. If you have unwanted dark hairs, face and/or back acne (especially cystic), hair loss, or irregular cycles you may be suffering from androgen excess.
As Functional and Integrative Medicine Practitioners, we check a variety of androgens in the female body and do not rely on testosterone levels alone. For example, depending on your symptoms your provider may order free and total testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). These hormone levels can be checked though blood work; however, integrative testing often prefers to evaluate hormones through saliva and urine.
At CentreSpring MD, we take a functional and integrative medicine approach—striving to figure out the root cause for your androgen excess, rather than just treating the symptoms. Women can develop androgen excess for a number of reasons. One of the largest reasons is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which affects 5-10% of women (and who knows how many women suffer and go undiagnosed). Other reasons for androgen excess include inflammation, diabetes, thyroid imbalances, high stress, and poor detoxification.
Here are a few integrative approaches to start naturally reducing your androgens today:
1. Sip spearmint tea daily.
· Spearmint tea has been studied to have anti-androgen effects in individuals suffering from PCOS . Best results are seen with two cups per day.
2. Improve blood sugar control.
· Eat at regular intervals throughout the day. Add high quality fiber to slow digestion; aim for 35 grams of fiber per day. Sprinkle cinnamon on your food or consider adding blood sugar stabilizing supplements, such as alpha lipoic acid or inositol.
3. Promote detoxification.
· Add plenty of cruciferous vegetables and herbs such as cilantro and parsley in your diet.
· If you need extra liver support, consider adding milk thistle at 200 mg daily.
4. Choose organic meats and dairy to avoid additional hormones.
If you are ready to take the integrative and holistic approach to balancing your hormones, we would love to see you at CentreSpring MD! Don't let your symptoms go or suffer alone.

"Foxcatcher" Named American Express Gala for London Film Festival
It's one of the most-anticipated films of the season and "Foxcatcher" will receive a special honor at the forthcoming 58th BFI London Film Festival.
The Channing Tatum/ Steve Carell flick has been named the American Express Gala selection and will be premiered on Thursday, October 16th at the Odeon Leicester Square.
London Film Festival director Clare Stewart told press, "We are delighted to be announcing that 'Foxcatcher' will be our 2014 American Express gala presentation, marking the fifth year of our dynamic LFF partnership with one of the year's most powerful and important films. Featuring enthralling performances from its entire cast and directed with unswerving rigour, 'Foxcatcher' not only confirms Bennett Miller as one of the world's most significant contemporary filmmakers, it powerfully demonstrates the clarity of his vision: get to the truth by creating fiction out of fact."
"I'm thrilled that 'Foxcatcher' will be playing the LFF and I'm thrilled to be attending. I suspect Britons will have a special relationship with this film," added director Bennett Miller.

Idaho Mountain Lions Captured from Gibson Jack Area
On the night of Tuesday, April 10, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game captured and removed two mountain lions, a female and a male, from the Gibson Jack area of Pocatello.
The mountain lions, both sub-adults, were thin and dehydrated, the female weighing only 15 pounds and the male 20 pounds at time of capture. Both were taken to a secure, safe holding facility where they are being monitored and awaiting placement at a zoo.
Fish and Game had received a call over Easter weekend about mountain lions observed in the Gibson Jack area. An investigation revealed that a house cat likely had been killed by a mountain lion; however, it also appeared that the mountain lions were moving away from the residential area toward suitable habitat.
On the morning of April 10, Fish and Game received a report that a small dog was attacked by what was described as a "small mountain lion" in the Gibson Jack area the night before. According to the caller, the attack occurred while the dog and its owner were recreating in the area. The dog's owner and a jogger who also saw the attack began throwing rocks at the mountain lion and were able to scare it away. The dog was not killed.
Because this was the second attack on domestic animals in the Gibson Jack area, and because of its proximity to humans at the time of the attack, Fish and Game began the process of setting up live traps to capture the mountain lions.
Before the traps could even be put into position, another report of a mountain lion attacking a dog in front of a Gibson Jack residence came in to the Bannock County Sheriff's office the night of April 10. The Sheriff's Office and Fish and Game responded. Two young mountain lions were discovered on the property of a homeowner. Both animals were darted and removed from the area.
Because of reports of a possible third young mountain lion in the area, an experienced houndsman and his dogs were brought to the area by Fish and Game to attempt tracking the third cat. No additional mountain lions or scent trails were detected.
"It appears that these mountain lions lost their mother over the winter," said Toby Boudreau, regional wildlife manager for Fish and Game's Southeast Region. "We assume this because these animals appear too young to adequately provide for themselves as evidenced by their poor body conditions, and because it is unusual for mountain lions to feed on loose domesticated animals."
Fish and Game reminds the public that though Pocatello is surrounded with habitat that provides a home for various wildlife species, including mountain lions, incidences with mountain lions are quite rare.

MI MI MONTAGNET BANKSTON purchased this townhome in 2011
The accommodations at the condo was perfect! Inside the condo each room was beautiful. The construction down-to the fixture details were chic and non-conventional. It felt like we had stepped into some type of France or Paris home. Very helpful that it had a washer and dryer. Great kitchen dining space.There was plenty of linen. Very safe location close to all major New Orleans attractions. Great restaurants right around the corner. The owner was very responsive and professional. My husband and I along with our 22 year old daughter and her friend, we LOVED our stay and plan to return very soon.
My wife and I had a spectacular stay at this location in New Orleans this past weekend. The location was very central for our activities in the Garden District, the French Quarter, and downtown. The house is amazing...very unassuming from the outside but huge on the inside. It also has a deck in the back to grab some sun. Next time we're bringing the kids.
Our three-day weekend of eating, drinking and socializing our way around town was made even more incredible by staying at this lovely, recently renovated property. We took full advantage of the jacuzzi tub, lounged on the private sun-lit patio, and loved being able to walk to coffee, museums, restaurants, etc. Would come back again in a heartbeat!!
The townhouse is better than expected, great location, nice layout and perfect place all around. Highly recommend this place and Mi Mi was great to work with. Will definitely be back!
Had a wonderful time at this property over New Years. It is exactly as pictured, very new and modern. The location is ideal and included a gated, secured parking spot right down the street. There are lots of great restaurants nearby plus galleries and the WWII museum. There were 2 bedrooms, each with a queen bed, plus a twin mattress in the "loft" which is attached to the downstairs bedroom. The loft is really suitable for older children only as it is a little dangerous and difficult to get in and out of. Not recommended for toddlers or anyone with a physical infirmity. The location would be perfect for Mardi Gras as it is only a short walk to St. Charles Avenue and Lee Circle.
The townhome was a wonderful place to stay. It was very clean and comfy. The townhome is great for entertaining as well. It was very spacious with a nice outdoor area. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family. It is very convenient to all the downtown areas and local shopping. I highly recommend, I can't wait to stay again!!!!

Originally posted on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 1/27/13
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Teddy Purcell had a goal and two assists, Martin St. Louis contributed four assists, and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-1 on Sunday night. Tampa Bay also got goals from Eric Brewer, Vincent Lecavalier, Victor Hedman and Steven Stamkos. St. Louis has eight assists and 11 points this season. The Lightning continued their season-long domination of the third period -- outscoring opponents 13-1 -- with goals by Hedman and Stamkos. Sean Couturier scored for the Flyers, who were coming off a 7-1 win at Florida on Saturday night. Backup goalie Michael Leighton played in his first NHL game since appearing in two playoff games for the Flyers in 2011. Purcell tied it at 1 on the power play at 14:34 of the first. Brewer made it 2-1 on his third goal this season, a slap shot from above the right circle with 3:50 left in the first. The defenseman had one goal in 82 games last season. The Lightning converted another power play for a 3-1 lead when Lecavalier scored from the right circle 65 seconds before the first intermission. St. Louis assisted on all three first-period Tampa Bay goals. After Hedman had a rebound goal 58 seconds into the third, Stamkos gave Tampa Bay a 5-1 advantage with 7:31 to play. Couturier put the Flyers up 1-0 just 59 seconds into the game when his shot from the corner along the goal line eluded goalie Anders Lindback. Notes: Lecavalier also had a first-period fight with Flyers D Luke Schenn. It was Lecavalier's first fighting major since Feb. 3, 2009. ... Philadelphia is sending C Scott Laughton, taken 20th overall in the 2012 amateur draft, back to Oshawa of the Ontario Hockey League. He was pointless in five games with the Flyers this season. ... Stamkos, who also had an assist, extended his season-opening point streak to five game. He has seven assists and 10 points overall.

By JOSE M. ROMERO
The Portland Timbers are undefeated at home in MLS play no more.
DC United got goals from Perry Kitchen, Chris Pontius and Josh Wolff, overcoming two linesman calls that awarded an additional two penalty kick opportunities and resulted in a Timbers goal to walk out of Jeld-Wen Field with a hard-earned 3-2 victory.
The Timbers' defense let down goalkeeper Troy Perkins, and was pressed forward in the 85th minute when a long ball came through to Wolff, who beat Perkins ahead of two defenders for what proved to be the game's decisive goal.
It gave DCU (4-4-3) its second road win of the season, while the Timbers (5-4-2) failed to gain ground on any of the four teams ahead of them in MLS Western Conference. The Timbers, however, have at least two games in hand against each of those teams — Colorado, Seattle, FC Dallas and the L.A. Galaxy.
United, playing a number of youngsters without Dax McCarty and Charlie Davies in the lineup, scored first. Rookie Perry Kitchen converted Blake Brettschneider's header into the box in the 13th minute.
The Timbers are winless (0-4-2) when scored upon first, and that winless mark would continue. But not before some controversy.
Forward Kenny Cooper, who had two goals disallowed for being offside, was pulled away from the ball in the box by DC defender Dejan Jakovic in the 64th minute. The Timbers had been on the attack for several minutes leading up to the penalty and getting chances, and their work was rewarded with a PK.
Cooper's first strike was saved by Bill Hamid, but the linesman threw up his flag against Hamid for coming off his line too early. Cooper lined up again, fired, and watched Hamid make another save. Same call by the linesman.
The DCU bench was up in arms, and Hamid was so incensed that he ran at the linesman and drew a yellow card for dissent. Meanwhile, Portland coach John Spencer pulled Cooper of the penalty spot and ordered Jack Jewsbury to take the shot. Spencer guessed right, Hamid did not, and the third PK was the charm for the Timbers, who tied it at 1 in the 68th minute with Jewsbury's right-footed blast.
Cooper was subbed out for Ryan Pore in the 69th minute, and there didn't appear to be any hard feelings between he and Spencer. They both gave each other a single pat on the back as Cooper got to the bench.
DCU overcame the craziness of the situation and got a PK of its own in the 75th minute after Portland's Diego Chara was called for a handball in the penalty area. Pontius converted.
Wolff appeared to put the game away with his goal, but Jorge Perlaza knocked in a low header that bounced past Hamid in the 88th minute, giving the Timbers some life.
The Timbers' hopes of a draw fizzled in extra time as Perlaza's shot went wide of the goal. Brettschneider was a factor throughout the match and finished with a pair of assists.
A wise man once
Wait, "The Timbers, have at least two games in hand against each of those teams — Colorado, Seattle, FC Dallas and the L.A. Galaxy."??? Last I checked, They've only played each of those teams once.
BTW why was McCarty out? Was he injured too?
As in, Timbers have played 11 games, but the others 13+.
A wise man once said that this refers to total games played relative to another team or teams.
p.s. groin strain
PK retake call was easy. Just don't see it called that often, but in this respect it was easy for the ref to have a reason for putting the flag up. No controversy really.
Yes, McCarty was injured (groin pull in practice). As where Davies and Quaranta (who otherwise would have started).
DCU is not a strong team. They're young, lack depth and still have some holes they could use an upgrade on. But with 2 road wins, they've already shown a willingness to gut games out and not quite. Skill level is decent. They'll still have some clinkers I think (like the road loss to Houston) but clearly the team has made a lot of progress while also getting a lot younger.
As for Portland, I think they're massively overachieving (which is the best you can ask of an expansion team). Great stadium, even greater fans, great effort every game, huge homefield advantage, good at restarts–if that's the verdict for their first season than that's a helluva first year for any expansion team.
Respect to the traveling DC supporters who were standing at least 20 minutes after the game.
I got interviewed by the BBC before the game about the timbers owner being better than American Owners abroad.
Agreed. People in the running commentary were blaming the ref. But all he did was call it by the rule. Hamid was off his line both times. I also do not think that you can complain to much about the pk call. If you grab a player in the box you are giving the ref a chance to make that call.
There is no controversy only because DCU won. Although Hamid was both times off the line early, the reason for him being off the line early was that Cooper both times came to a full stop before taking the kick, which is no longer allowed under the rules. The linesman watches the goalkeeper and the ref watches the penalty taker. Rongen said that the ref screwed up both calls.
Since 82
The Timbers are not "massively overachieving". They have strong MF play, are dangerous on set pieces, and the best fans in MLS. They won't loose many points at home and should get stronger as the year wears on.
I agree on the first retake but the second was inches, I'd say at least 90 percent of goalies at least take that much of a step. Still you are right a rule is a rule and he did every so slightly step off his line on the second. However, I would question whether Cooper possible came to a complete stop when taking the penalty (he hesitated quite a bit on both). If your gonna watch Hamid's line that seriously you also need to watch Cooper on the hesitation.
Actually Rongen is wrong on this. Firstly, Cooper did not come to a complete stop. But this is not what the rule is about. The new rule is about players faking to take the shot.
It is explained in this quote: "Feinting in the run-up to take a penalty kick to confuse opponents is permitted, however feinting to kick the ball once the player has completed his run-up is now considered an infringement," FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke told a press conference held at the organizations headquarters in Switzerland.
see the link for the quote: http://theoriginalwinger.com/2010-05-19-rule-changes-ahead-of-fifa-world-cup-paradinha-outlawed-and-fourth-official-has-more-power
Agree with you MJC. I blame the ref only for the second retake. If you watch the Cooper's second shot he definitely came to a complete stop in his run up, which could be argued was the reason for Hamid coming off his line early on that attempt.
A wise man once
ohhh I think I get it now.But it should have been worded: "The Timbers have at least two games in hand against those teams — Colorado, Seattle, FC Dallas and the L.A. Galaxy."
…Or maybe not. I'm confused.
Hamid didn't realize how far he came up, and wrong. [BTW both times he was about 3-5 feet off the line when the ball was struck. This wasn't a single step forward then dive like you normally see. He stutter stepped up on the second one]
"I was not even half a foot off my line".
Don't take my comment as an insult. Expansion teams aren't supposed to be doing as well as Portland is doing. I love Portland. If you read the DCU fan comments you'll see a lot of praise for your fans. You've got a huge edge as a team b/c of the stadium/fans…your team should never let up with that kind of support. And I totally agree about the effort as a team (which especially shows in MF hard work and hustle). And you're great at restarts. Those are all positives. And the backline is young and athletic and in 2-3 years should really be something–I think Hall and Wallace have a world of potential. That said, unless Cooper really turns it on (which could happen) or Nagbe starts earning major minutes, there aren't a lot of players on this team that scare other sides. And frankly, for where they are as an expansion team–that's to be expected (except they're probably ahead of where the majority of MLS expansion teams were in their first year). But I still stand by my comment about "massively overachieving".
scrappy effort. 3pts. vamos united!
Timbers are overrated, and we will not be able to really see the true team until 2-3 years of top-flight football. I hope D.C. United make the playoffs, because they have a very dedicated supporters group.
Timbers are good, but they are punching above their weight a bit right now. Set piece goals are great (2 more today), but the lack of goals from run-of-play would worry me. The opposition is also going to know more about Timbers (defend set-pieces, the importance of Al Hassan) as the season progresses.
There's also a BIG difference between games in hand and points on the board.
The big question. . . .do they start another home streak or was that a freak start of MLS thing?
This. I said it at the time – of course Hamid will come off his line if Cooper is using bush-league tactics to try and convert.
What's disappointing for MLS is what a joke of a field Jeld-Wen is. Easily ten yards too narrow from sideline to sideline.
How the heck do you build a "soccer-specific" stadium that doesn't even come close to be a proper Fifa size?
2 goals came last (one for each team) because even player with a half-decent throw can reach the CENTER of the penalty area from the sideline. It's a joke.
SJ has a crap field, too, but they're using a college pitch until they get a stadium built. I don't understand how you BUILD a field that is too small.
To say Jeld-Wen "doesn't even come close to a proper FIFA size" and that it is "easily ten yards too narrow from sideline to sideline" are both incorrect.
Jeld-Wen field is 110 yards by 70 yards. FIFA standards for international matches is a minimum 110 yards to a maximum 120 yards length by a minimum of 70 yards to a maximum of 80 yards wide. So, Jeld-Wen does meet FIFA international standards, though it is on the bottom edge of them.
As a rec league player, I'd love to play on a field even this wide. Unfortunately most of our fields are converted (American) football fields which we're lucky if we can widen them out to even 60 yards wide.
I looked it up, and Jeld-Wen is 110×70 — so right at Fifa minimum. Though it bears pointing out it meets the minimum for friendlies, and would never be used in a Fifa competition like the World Cup in the U.S. in 2022. (Oh, wait…).
But still, if you are going to build a soccer-specific stadium, why not go for a big, beautiful expanse that lends itself to passing and build-up play?
I give the Timbers credit for strategy, they play to to their field: pack it in, slow the game as much as possible, and play for throw-ins and set pieces.
I agree, I am not happy with how the attack looks. Set piece goals count the same as every other goal, but if that is the only way we can score then we will eventually stop putting points up as teams start to defend better.
Cooper is quickly becoming my least favorite starter.
I know it's hard to feel positive after a loss (particularly a home loss) but Portland should feel very good about this team. Nice stadium, outstanding fans, maybe the best atmosphere in MLS…all of this provide a major boost to the home side and show every team/city in MLS what the potential is like for MLS games. Young backline that is athletic and only going to get better. Tough, tenacious coach who knows MLS and seems to handle youth well (time will be the best test of this). Some wise personnel choices. And unlike TFC (when they started out), a willingness to let the kiddies grow and not churn the team every 3 weeks with a new trade.
Portland will be favored in every home match, they work hard, they're good at restarts.
For an expansion team, that's very impressive to be able to say all of these things.
Ajax seemed to have no problem with the "small field" at Jeld-Wen.
The built-in excuses of MLS teams and fans is amusing.
Here and Now
Cooper stutter-stepped up on both kicks, then slightly hesitated before kicking the ball. Both times he successfully brought Hamid off his line early. Cooper should have lost the corner for taking an illegal pk.
Yes, meaningless friendlies when both teams are playing C squads are certainly conclusive.
The built in excuses of eurosnobs is always amusing….
Matt Mathai
Wow, so sensitive…
Great fans, and a strong midfield. Yup. Acknowledged. Strong on set plays – I think mostly at home, where the narrow field helps quite a bit. That would explain the very strong home record. I haven't looked it up, but they don't have that dominance on set plays on the road, do they?
And when did Kenny Cooper become such a whiny, diving player? He'd be a lock on the national team if he just played his size.
Since 82
I'm not taking your comment as an insult, just respectfully disagreeing. I think the key to whether the team continues to rise, or falls, this year will have to do with the MF connecting better with the Forwards (and Cooper and Perlazzo's indivual play as well). At this point, I am optimistic on both counts. I also like what I have seen out of Zizzo and Nagbe is slippery. Overall, I thin they will continue to have a good year and have a promising future.
Since 82
Not sensitive, just don't agree with the other poster which is cool. I think that is part of the reason why we are in America.
Two out of the three road goals were on set pieces. Cooper through the wall against Colorado. Futty heading in the ball from Jewsburry against Seattle. They also got blanked twice.
I've been tracking Cooper for a long time. He is what he is. He isn't really a target forward and doesn't play well with the ball at his feet. He will cleanup messes in the box and is dangerous on set pieces in the air. I think he also provides a lot of space for the MF. He never did much for the NATS and was injured in the Bundesliga.
Since 82
I agree with your points Joe, it has been a blast thus far. As a recent transplant from the NYC area, I know that teams can start off far worse aka New York Metro Stars.
He plays very well with the ball at his feet, especially for a big man…PDX is where they are because of him. Your best goalscorer shouldn't be pulled when you need a goal.
Terrible move by the whiny Spencer

DAMNIT! Someone HAD to suggest this to me, and before I knew it, BAM! here it was. I'm going to try and start each chappy with a poem, but well, uh, not all of those are mine, they're just supposed to symbolize the emotions in each chapter. Not really the best poet.
My mother groaned, my father wept:
Into the dangerous world I leapt,
Helpless, naked, piping loud,
Like a fiend hid in a cloud.
Struggling in my father's hands,
Striving against my swaddling bands,
Bound and weary, I thought best
To sulk upon my mother's chest.
Kurosaki Ichigo cried.
"Mom...Mommy! Don't die! Please don't die!"
"I can save her."
"I will not repeat myself." The voice inside his head sighed, unravelling as the blood soaked into his windbreaker. "Now, come to me."
Ichigo blinked in dismay and surprise as the rainy surroundings of the riverbank disappeared only to be replaced with another, less than appealing landscape. He tried to scream, but the words, and his voice had already deserted him. Ichigo gasped and covered his face with both hands as a dark shadow swept overhead. This was a dream, it was all just a dream! He was going to wake up soon, he was going to wake up to his nice, warm bed, and, and and...
However, this was not the warm, watery world of he'd often seem in his dreams, in fact, this place was the exact opposite of the vibrant and lively world, as was its owner. This place stank of death and decay, of dried blood and perfume, as opposed to the minty, syrupy sweet smell that always emanated from that place, that a aquatic realm. Indeed, if this horrid place could even be described as a home, then only a monster straight out of a horror film could ever call it such.
He stood in an open plain, but that was where the resemblance began and ended. There were no clouds, no mountains in this bloody red sky, from which a full moon, black and ominous shone down. There was a tree, but it was a hideous, deformed oak, from which a thousand crows were perched, giving it the appearance of actually retaining leaves. The fowl stared at him with their blood red eyes, as if daring him to come closer, daring her to approach one of the many corpses that lay scattered about this blood red field. It cawed at him, laughing when he backed away.
"W-What is this place...?"
Scattered about the ashen field were thick splotches of blood, darker than the red sky, nearly opaque in their coloration. Somehoe, Ichigo knew, he just knew they weren't just stains, they reaked of blood A warm breeze, thick with the scent of malice, blew across the field, and Ichigo shivered quietly, not even bothering to turn around as the sound of footsteps crunched across the dead skulls of warriors, long since deceased.
"I wanna go home!"
"Welcome, boy."
"W-Who's there!" He tried, then failed to hide the fear in his voice, and was unable to conceal the way he quailed at the thought of turning to face the apparition that was drawing steadily closer toward him. "Th-This a dream, right? None of this is real, right? This isn't happening to me, is it?"
"Boy." The sound of footsteps paused, slowed, stopped. "Everything you see before you is very, very real." A hand, sun kissed in its tan, clasped his shoulder briefly, then roughly shoved him forward, causing the boy to stumble a few paces before regaining his balance. He tripped over something flat, and fell face first into the mire. Immediately, he began to sob, which only earned an exasperated retort from the woman.
"Honestly, to think that you're my wielder."
Ichigo sniffled and rubbed at the grime covering his eyes.
"Where's my mom...I wanna go home...
"Cease your bawling and stand, boy!"
A hard object crashed into his skull, bouncing off his soppy mane of orange hair. Whining, Ichigo rubbed at his scalp, then bent down to pick up the object that had injured him so. The child quailed once he recognized the oblong object in his hand. He'd seen daddy with something like this before, but the memory was faint and fuzzy, escaping him when he reached for it. However, he'd watched more than enough cartoons to recognize the sheathe for what it was, and what was contained within it.
"Nani? A sword? What am I 'sposed to do with this?"
"Draw your sword, boy." The softness was gone, replaced by the steely bite of a stern woman as she stepped into the light. Ichigo whimpered, realizing that this was, not the kind, loving voice that Ichigo had known for all of his life, nor was this his mother, though she could easily have been mistaken as such at first glance, if not for the aforementioned characteristics. "Your true test begins here and now. And I suggest you hurry. If you don't, your mother will most certainly...die."
"What?" Disbelief flickered across the boy's delicate features "What did you just say?"Now, Kurosaki Ichigo did turn, and for the second time within a day, beheld the grim visage he'd seen in his nightmare's. Fierce crimson eyes glittered out of an even fiercer visage, long tresses of ruby red hair framed her face, and the necklace of black pearl beads she wore. The red, ragged kimono, completed the appearance of a woman born solely for the sake of battle, and nothing else. She wielded a strange, rectangular katana, one that dripped red with blood. She smiled, coldly, approaching.
"Prepare yourself, my master-to-be."
The crows shrieked and scattered into the skies as the sound of steel striking steel filled the graveyard. The woman gaped, her eyes widening, narrowing, at the thin slice in her neck, not even a centimeter deep. Touching a delicate finger to the wound, it came away with a droplet of red.
Ichigo lay there, weakly gripping the hilt of the sword.
Ichigo squealed and scampered backward on his hands and knees.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please don't kill me!"
"Coward." She chided sternly. "I have no intention of harming you."
"You tried to chop my head off!"
"When you say try, that means I attempted to remove your head from your shoulders." She startled him now, by sheathing her blade and performing an about face, bringing her glaring visage a mere centimeter from his own. "As you can see, boy, I have done no such thing. Had I been willing to use my full strength from the beginning, you would have perished. Now, cease your bawling and stand."
"Gah," And here little Ichigo furiously scratched at his head. "I don't understand any of this!" His protests were abruptly silence as the woman placed both hands upon his shoulders and lowered herself to his level. Ichigo blinked, flinching away from her stern visage.
"Y-You're weird. Who are you?"
"Your princess."
"In due time, boy. The red princess smiled and drew herself up."All in due time. Now, you must leave my world. Your mother will yet live, but the time has not yet come for you to learn my name. Your father is trying to rouse you, and I have kept you long enough."
"But I-
A soft pair of lips pressed against Ichigo's cheek, silencing him.
"Farewell for now, my prince."
With a violent scream from his lungs, Kurosaki Ichigo came gasping back to the world of the living. A pair of strong arms embraced him, hauling him into a chest that reeked of cigarrete smoke and oranges. The room was a blur of white, and it took the lad quite some time to realize that he was no longer at the riverbank, but in a hospital bed, his father, Isshin Kurosaki, speaking to his only son now as he pulled away.
...alright, Ichigo?"
Ichigo blinked, blearily rubbing at his eyes. He tried to sit up, but a weight was keeping his legs pinned in place. Confused, Ichigo glanced down for the source of the burden, and upon noticing it, shouted loudly in exclamation. It was the same sword from before! And it was in his lap!
"W-When did this get here?"
Isshin seemed to notice the crooked handle of the blade as well. He gazed at it for a moment, irises shrinking as his eyes widened in surprise.
"Ichigo," And here Isshin's tone darkened. "Son, where did you find that sword?"
"Um...I dunno." Ichigo instinctively curled a hand about the blade's darkened sheathe. "A lady in red clothes gave it to me. I was in this really wierd place and she kept trying to-
"Did she mention her name?" Isshin asked abruptly.
"Nu-uh...Confused, Ichigo shook his head." She said I couldn't learn it yet. She also said something about Mommmy being okay if I managed to convince her 'bout something. She also called me her prince? Dad, what's going on here, where's Mommmy? I remember the river, and-and-and...
Isshin paled, the words of his son falling upon deaf ears. Ichigo had just accurately described the zanpakutou of his oldest rival and closest friend, Urahara Kisuke. The last time he had checked, that crazy bastard had just become the captain of the twelfth division. So what was Kisuke's zanpakutou doing in the hands of Isshin's son? Was that the reason Masaki's wounds had simply closed themselves up, before his very eyes?
The reason why such a powerful hollow had fled from such an easy meal?
A cold knot of dread began to form in Isshin's stomach. Either Urahara was dead, or Ichigo had somehow, miracously, obtained the very same zanpakutou as one of Soul Society's most infamous captain's. And if the latter were the case, and the Gotei Thirteen was made aware of it...
"Oh, kami."
"Oh, It's nothing, my son! Nothing at all!" Isshin laughed boisterously, struggling to maintain a cheerful facade in the face of his inquisitive offspring. Leaping from the bed to the door, Isshin flung it open with excess enthusiasm, nearly disloding the plaster from its hinges in the process of doing so. Ichigo stared after him in disbelief, only to squeal in delight as Isshin swept back around and scooped him up in one arm.
"What say we get you out of this bed and go pay Momma a visit, neh, Ichigo!"

Um...if anyone knows any good poetry, I'd appreciate the help.

Tayyiba Haneef had 13 points in the Americans' straight-sets victory over Cuba. The United States (8-3) then had to wait for Italy's match against Brazil to determine if it would finish third.
A straight-sets victory by Italy would have given the Italians a superior set win-loss ratio, but Italy dropped the opening set to give the Americans a place in Athens.
Haneef scored 12 points on the attack and added one more with her serve to lead the Americans to the 25-23, 25-18, 25-17 victory over Cuba. Prikeba Phipps added 11 points.
"After losing 3-0 to Brazil yesterday, we were very disappointed," Phipps said. "It's been a tough tournament for us and I'm glad it's finally over."
China wrapped up first place in the 12-nation tournament on Thursday, and Brazil secured the second berth to the Olympics with its victory over the United States on Friday.
"We were up and down the whole tournament," U.S. coach Toshiaki Yoshida said. "We all knew we had to play well this afternoon and the players really came through."
