Real Salt Lake head coach Jason Kreis is facing yet another suspension following his latest ejection from a match.
The fiery coach was handed an additional game to his one-game suspension for being ejected from Real Salt Lake's July 24th match vs. FC Dallas. His actions leading up to the ejection, as well as his track record of being ejected from matches, led MLS to issue Kreis an additional $3000 fine.
The suspension means Kreis will miss Real Salt Lake's upcoming matches vs. the Chicago Fire and the Seattle Sounders.
In other MLS disciplinary news, Seattle Sounders midfielder Freddie Ljungberg was fined $500 for failing to leave the field in a timely manner following his ejection during Seattle's 0-0 tie last Sunday. Ljungberg was issued a yellow card for a dive, and a second yellow card for dissent.
Here are some other stories to round out your Friday:
Swansea bids for Whitbread
Welsh club Swansea is lining up a team-record bid for American defender Zak Whitbread, who is up for sale by current club Millwall.
Millwall had accepted a £700,000 bid for Whitbread from Peterborough United, but the deal fell through after Whitbread and Peterborough couldn't agree on Whitbread's salary.
Whitbread is coming off a strong season that saw Millwall come very close to promotion to the English First Division. West Brom, Nottingham Forest and Doncaster Rovers, all First Division clubs, are reportedly in the running for the former U.S. Under-23 defender.
Villa, Juventus win Peace Cup semis
Goals from Emile Heskey and Steve Sidwell helped Aston Villa top FC Porto, 2-1, in the Peace Cup semifinals. U.S. national team goalkeeper Brad Guzan started in goal for Villa, and American defender Eric Lichaj got the start at right back for the Villans.
Aston Villa will now face Juventus in the Peace Cup final. Juve defeated Real Madrid, 2-1, in the other semifinal. Fabio Cannavaro scored the opener against his former club while Hasan Salihamidzic scored the game-winner for the Italian club. Cristiano Ronaldo scored Real Madrid's goal via penalty kick.
Ticket sales surpass 80,000 for LA Galaxy/Barcelona friendly
With more than 80,000 tickets already sold, organizers are expecting a crowd of more than 85,000 for the Los Angeles Galaxy's friendly vs. FC Barcelona at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California (11pm, Fox Soccer Channel). Additional tickets have gone on sale, meaning you can still get seats to watch the world's best club team face the Galaxy.
That's all for now. What do you think of these stories? Is Kreis officially the Rasheed Wallace of MLS coaches? Think Swansea is a good club for Whitbread? Happy to see two Americans starting for Aston Villa?
Share your thoughts below.
I'm assuming you meant Jonothan Spector started at right back for Villa?
Jonathan Spector plays for West Ham
ThaDeuce, Spector plays for West Ham, not Villa
Chip the Keeper
"I'm assuming you meant Jonothan Spector started at right back for Villa?"
ooh thats right.
Hadn't heard of Lichaj before.
(SBI- This isn't the first time I've mentioned Lichaj.)
sounds like Guzan had a great game and people are asking MON to let Guzan start a couple games over Friedel this season.
will m.
do appearances with u-23 or any non-senior teams count for the eligibility to change which national team you play for?
I can't believe I'm arguing the merits of Brian Ching with you when you don't even know what team Spector plays on. A real authority on US Soccer there.
Eric R
whitbread should go to an elite team like barcelona or ac milan!
//shows self out
Lichaj is a versatile 20-year-old fullback who signed with Villa in 2007 after one season at North Carolina. He was a fixture in the reserves in 2008-2009 and is expected to be a squad player this season. Can also play in midfield.
Trained with the U.S. ahead of the qualifiers this summer and the Confederations Cup as a non-roster player (Bradley needed a player to fill out the squad for training sessions).
And, because this is asked a lot, no, he isn't eligible for the U-20 World Cup team as he turns 21 this November.
any word what position Lichaj played today, know he can play in the middle or on the right, as far as the national team goes we could certainly use more guys that can play outside
my bad, can't read, right back
says above he played right back.
Lichaj always plays right back for Villa. It's definitely going to be fun to my villans play Juve and Fiorentina in the same month.
P.S. MON, sign some players!!!
lol, oh man i agree MC, Thaduece dosent know where Spector plays and never even heard of Lichaj…. I thought people on these boards were top-form US fans and know everything………i guess not…….it looks like whatever IVes says/or does is the only truth!
$3000 for Kreis? That's a lot by MLS Standards
Rossi is Judas
Jason Kreis is the Bob Knight of MLS. You can't help but love the passion he has.
MC/Harry — a little full of yourselves, eh?
Not everyone who reads/posts to SBI is as brilliant as you two.
I'd rather make a mistake or two like ThaDeuce than be a pompous d-bag.
Get your facts straight Gunnar

Swansea sounds like a good fit for Whitbread. The club is thriving and has seen a lot of success with players from CONCACAF before. Trinidadian Jason Scotland was on the PFA Team of the year in both league 1 and the Championship with Swansea and scored 20+ goals each year. He just moved to Premiership side Wigan.
Also Gio Savaresse was a popular player there after leaving the Metrostars.
If the move goes through don't be surprised to see Whitbread playing in the Premiership in the next couple years.
Tom P
Why doesn't Whitbread get a call up? The guy can play. I saw him twice at Milwall last year – rough joint- and he was as good or better then anyone we have as a 2nd choice back 3. (he's right footed sadly)
Give TheDeuce a break… anyone could have made that mistake. Villa and West Ham have similar looking uniforms.
I also have no problem mentioning that I missed the boat on Lichaj. If he is getting regular minutes for Villa that is huge. Mostly because it means Frankie Hejduk and Marvel Wynne out. After Spector, Lichaj, and Cherundolo we don't need any other right backs.
Wheatbread is tha real deal.
Fulham Pete
Since I've only seen his name in print…
How in hell does Eric *pronounce* 'Lichaj'?
And, boy, ThaDeuce, I guess people thought you needed a smackdown, huh?
I'm amazed by the hype that Americans playing in second and third divisions get here-if you're playing in the second division, you're not the real deal, sorry. I don't see why these players ever deserve a call-up when they can't even get on a squad in the top league, let alone get playing time…
It's pronounced Lee-hi. Yeah I know, doesn't make any sense
@ Ives, why no link to world cup soccer south africa blog?
Of course I know which team Spector plays for, I watched him play last year and have cheered for him ever since he started getting called into the national team. As evidence, I posted this earlier today:
"Wow, I just thought of something. We probably have the most first team USMNT players playing in the first division of Europe ever:
Clint Dempsey, Fulham, Premier League
Jonathon Spector, West Ham, Premier League
Tim Howard, Everton, Premier League
Oguchi Onyewu,,A.C., Serie A
Ricardo Clark, Livorno, Serie A
Carlos Bocanegra, Stade Rennais, Ligue 1
Charlie Davies, Sochaux, Ligue 1
Michael Bradley, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bundesliga
Jozy Altidore, Villareal, La Liga
That is 9 USMNT starters playing in the first division in Europe. Wow.
All that is missing from our Starting XI is Landon Donovan, who is sure to go to the first division very, very soon, and Jay Demerit, Watford, Championship."
check under the "Cooper sold to 1860″ and you'll see it right there.
They are similar squads in the fact that they are in 5th and 6th place in the premier league (the buffer between fulham and the top 4) and we are talking about right backs here. I had no idea we Americans have 2 right backs in the EPL. That is great news.
And as far as Brian Ching is concerned I think Joamiq said it best (under the Mexico tag)
" I'm glad the people who hate Ching identify themselves so easily. It lets me quickly figure out which comments I should ignore."
Posted by: Joamiq | July 29, 2009 at 07:44 PM
However I should have taken his advice and ignored!
Now, it is true I hadn't heard of Lichaj. Does that make me a "bad fan?" I think not? I'm excited to hear about another US player to be in a first division Europe side. THAT MAKES 3 RIGHT BACKS FOR TOP DIVISIONS IN EUROPE! That is extremely sick. Does it make you a "pompous d-bag" for insulting a fellow passionate fan of the USMNT because he hadn't heard of a player on the fringes of Europe and the USMNT (didn't make the recent gold cup squad)? I'd like to think so~
~Thanks GunneRR and Brett.
Ha, I guess so Pete…..apparently I had people waiting to pounce on me when I said something stupid.
& @froboy, if he is good enough maybe he could be a 2nd choice right wing. We have tried using left backs as left wings and vice versa, maybe it could work out for him. Lord knows we have right back and center mid covered.
Good to see lichajgetting mins. Having only read bout him will be good to hopefully see him play. Plus until now I had feared him a washout candidate. I don't recall any youth NT callups? If he gets mins this year he has to go to SA ahead of Heyduk..no?
No,no,no! You can't take it back!
You are no longer a cool kid.
I know there are definitely a few pompous a*ses that post here. Now we know two of them by name. I sometimes forget my own phone number. I hate to think what you guys would say about me.
I was beginning to think we would never see Whitbread anywhere near big time soccer. He started at the top and just went down hill until he was almost out of sight. Remember when he was with Liverpool, Cooper was with Man. UTD, and another young American player was with Arsenal at the same time? I forget the Arsenal player even though I did know who it was. (Everyone can pile on now!)
Isn't Whitbread the guy who is really like 99% English? I thought I remembered reading that he was born in Texas(?) as a baby and then was in England the rest of his life and didn't even visit the U.S. until he played on the youth squad for the first time?
lol, thaDuece……….."poumpous d-bag" you relize every person on this board is a poumpous d-bag since we critize players all the time……Duece your getting bent out of shape over nothing!
As for whitBread,yes he should be called in…..im sorry but after watching players like Jay heaps and our MLS players on this Gold Cup team..im starting to think we over-hype MLS way too much. How does anybody know if Zak whitbread and Jemal Johnson arent better than What we saw vs Mexico? we dont and i think it sucks we have this cut-off line that anybody below the CCC in England aint USMNT worthy..but sorry to break the news…….MLS is about high League 1 Level. Jemal Johnson scored 3 30+yard bombs with his oppisite foot, racked about what 7 goals and 15 assists this season and yet no US call for the "C" team.
Kyle Feller
Brad Guzan had a nice performance for Villa yesterday vs Porto. Porto banged in a PK in extra time, but BG had a few highlight saves.
Kreis is a passionate coach, and we need more of this type of personality in the MLS.
If we had more of Kreis in the league, the league would fold! He's a very boring coach who seems to dislike skilled players.
According to Wikipedia: Whitbread was born in Houston (1984) but spent most of his life living in Liverpool where he began playing for the youth teams at age 8. He also lived in Singapore for five years where his Dad was the coach of the National Team there.
Don't bad on Kreis. While he isn't the most tactical coach in MLS, he does appears to be the most passionate. He is spot on A-ok in my book.
I think he likes skilled players that is why his team is a possession oriented passing team. Except Olave and he is just a brute! Oh, and Findley, but he has mad speed. Oh, and Yura can't keep his shots on frame, but he keeps shooting.
Id say Mathis, Espindola, Morales, Beckerman make up one of the most pass-possession oriented teams in MLS. Ever see RSL counterattack? Nope, not much.
It is funny that Kreis is getting bit by the rule he supported, even when he was one of the most banned coaches the last 2 years. He must have felt like his punishment wasn't enough and needed more of a spanking making him a BDSM coach bc he new he was going to get suspended this season.. again.. and again.!
Villain from Texas
Lichaj has started all three of Villa's games in the Peace Cup because Luke Young is injured. Lichaj has looked decent enough, but he has gotten turned inside out more than once. I reckon that he'll make the squad but don't expect him to play much this season. One for the future.
Villain from Texas
Also, Villa's game against Juventus will be shown on GolTV tomorrow at 4:00 (eastern, I think). Good chance to see Lichaj and Guzan play.
@ ThaDeuce….Altidore may have a contract with Villareal, but he isn't playing. I almost wish the rumor of him going to Greece were true. The kid needs playing time.
@ ThaDeuce you also forgot about Freddy Adu "playing" @ Benfica. Another kid wasting his youth pulling splinters out of his bum.

Capstans Wharf is situated near the centre of St John's Village in the Borough of Woking, Surrey, it occupies the Site on the left bank of the Basingstoke Canal formerly used for the Public House known as "The Prince of Wales". The name Capstans Wharf has no real significance as it was created after the name used during the development "Sherwood Lock" which was presumably thought appropriate as the site is off Robin Hood Road. However "Sherwood Lock" was turned down by the Council after the formation of the Management Company which all property Owners are Members of. If any name is correct is should be Kiln Wharf as the Canal Bridge has been known as Kiln Bridge since it was built.
The land was the subject of repeated Planning Permission Applications between 1983 and 1989 before it was developed in 1993 by Wimpey Homes Holding Limited, the Development then consisted of 41 Properties
A Terrace of 7 "Carey" 2 bedroom Houses parallel to the Basingstoke Canal (#29-#35)
A Terrace of 6 "Teme" 2 Bedroom Houses running away from the Canal (#23-#28)
3 Blocks of Apartments consisting 5 staircases leading to ~
2 "Penthouse" Apartments 2 Bedrooms (#5 & #10)
13 Apartments with 2 Bedrooms
13 Apartments with 1 Bedroom
The Properties were offered with a "Home Pack" consisting of choice of Colours for Kitchen and Bathroom Suites; a Range of Carpet, Curtain and Window Blind Choices; Cooker; Cooker Hood; Washing Machine/Drier; Fridge Freezer, additionally for the Apartments a Tiled Shower enclosure with Pumped Shower was added. First time buyers were offered Free Legal Fees and the developer paid the Stamp duty.
All the apartments are leased (999 years) from the Management Company "Sherwood Lock Management Company" #2822682 Incorporated on 28th May 1993, for details of Current Directors please check the "residents" page

Blood Crumbs: Chapter 28Mature
For the first few minutes of the trip I kept checking behind us to see if I could spot the Sedan again. I felt the hairs on my neck tingling, but the vehicle was lost in the traffic.
"What are you looking at?" Laura asked after I had checked behind us a dozen times.
"Apparently, nothing." I said with a frown. I couldn't see the Sedan at all.
The car filled with a tense silence as we both mulled over what should be discussed. The unspoken verdict was that Isaac was off limits. Speculation about him right now would do no good for either of us.
"So, would you be interested in helping with some consulting work?" I asked to break the silence.
"You have a case giving you trouble?" She glanced at me.
"The two murders in Sandy." I said.
"Wait, you're working them both? I thought the papers said there wasn't a link between the two."
"Exactly what Anthony would tell the press to stop them from turning into a bunch ravenous squirrels. Keep them off of my nuts as it were."
"Couldn't just let that metaphor go without at least mentioning your genitals could you?" She shook her head.
"Well, you've seen them. They're definitely worth mention."
She sighed. "I'll help you out if you can get through the entire story without any phallic imagery."
"Why don't you just ask me to make the sun rise in the West." I grumbled, but started the tale from the beginning.
I told her everything that I could remember. I could use whatever psychological insight she could provide. Also the retelling sometimes helps my mind clarify some things. Draws attention to something I might have missed or not given the scrutiny it deserved.
We stopped at a fast food place on the way and I realized I couldn't remember the last time I had eaten. I devoured my burger, keeping pace with the retelling between bites. As we pulled into the neighborhood I could tell that they were not done with my house.
When Laura parked, I got out and walked over to an officer sitting in the car on my front lawn. I motioned for him to roll down the window. "I take it there's a hold up?"
He didn't ask for ID so I assumed he already knew who I was, though I didn't recognize his face. His hair was black and he was a thicker guy. Muscles pressed against the uniform and I thought I saw what might've been the edge of service tattoo poking out from where his left sleeve ended.
"Department is calling in some forensics with special equipment for drug trace analysis or something." He said with a shrug. "I don't know much about it, but I can't let you in. Not until they get here."
"When is that going to be?"
"Probably sometime tonight. Your guess is as good as mine."
I glanced longingly at my house. I had a change of clothes in the back of Laura's car, but what I was really missing was my back up firearm. They had confiscated my piece for evidence and without a gun, clothing wouldn't make me feel less naked.
I walked back and sat down in the car. Popped the rest of my burger in my mouth and grumbled curses under my breath.
"So, you want my non-expert opinion on these crimes?" Laura asked taking a sip from her drink.
"Have at it."
"Alright Gavin was right saying there doesn't seem to be a sado-sexual aspect of the actual murders, but that's not the only impulse serial killers feed off of. Sometimes it's rage or deep-rooted psychosis, but those don't fit because of the level of organization with the crime scenes."
"So where does that leave me?"
"I'd say you guys were right about the sado-sexual thing but from the wrong perspective. Your guy--I'll use masculine from a purely statistical perspective as males are much more likely to be sado-sexual killers--derives pleasure from the killing, they all do, but he gets off on the aftermath. This is a game to him and he's watching you guys fumble around in the dark and this is what excites him. The act of domination is usually the driving force but for this killer it's not dominating his victims, it's dominating the investigation."
I felt rage and revulsion rise in my belly. 'He's pleasuring himself to thoughts of me fumbling in the dark.' I thought, but only said "Alright what else?"
"If he as good as you say he is; then he's likely a spree killer. This taunting is not something he can keep up forever. He has had a set number of killings planned out months in advance and he isn't yet driven by compulsion. If you can find a hit in VICAP it will be on reports of sprees probably between 3 and 7 victims where the perpetrator was never caught. There will be a shortened time span between each set of kills but the MO won't necessarily match this one. It will have a taunting nature, but maybe not with the blood droplets.
"Also," she went on, "You said he might have admired his work by driving by the crime scene. That's not going to be enough for him. He'll want to inject himself in the investigation however he can. If I were actually consulting I would advise to open up a tip line. I don't think he would be able to resist. He'd call in and you might be able to trace him or glean some bit of knowledge that you wouldn't have otherwise."
I sat back and absorbed this wondering if the officer would stop me if I went to my car and grabbed my antacids…he probably would. "There's no way we're opening up a tip line for this guy yet. We're doing everything we can to keep a link out of the press."
She nodded. "I figured and this is just me spit ballin'. I've perused this stuff as a weird sort of hobby, but the FBI has criminal psychologists that would know more or see more. They might give you a completely different take on how our killer functions."
I nodded and leaned back. I opened my mouth to speak but something in the rearview mirror caught my eye. I pursed my lips and stared as a green Sedan pulled off to the side and parked just before turning up my street.

Washington, Nov 4 (ANI): CEOs in 35 of the top Fortune 500 companies were overpaid by about 129 times their "ideal salaries" in 2008, according to a researcher at Purdue University.
Venkat Venkatasubramanian, a professor of chemical engineering, wanted to know if Chief executives in top-notch multinational companies are being fairly paid or not.
"One of the most pressing economic and corporate governance issues of the day is how to determine fair pay packages for CEOs. The proposed theory allows us to compute what the fair pay is for a CEO, including bonuses and stock options, under ideal conditions," said Venkatasubramanian.
The ratio of CEO pay to the lowest employee salary has gone up from about 40-to-1 in the 1970s to as high as 344-to-1 in recent years in the United States.
But, the ratio has remained around 20-to-1 in Europe and 11-to-1 in Japan, according to available data, he said.
Using the new analysis method, he estimated that the 2008 salaries of the top 35 CEOs in the United States were about 129 times their ideal fair salaries.
CEOs in the Standard and Poor's 500 averaged about 50 times their fair pay, raising questions about the efficiency of the free market to properly determine fair CEO pay, he said.
"You might ask why a chemical engineer is concerned with economics and CEO salaries. Well, it turns out that the same concepts and mathematics used to solve problems in statistical thermodynamics and information theory also can be applied to economic issues, such as the determination of fair CEO salaries," said Venkatasubramanian.
The findings of his study appeared in the online open-access journal Entropy. (ANI)

Two applications for cell phone towers headed to county
One of the towers is planned for the Tower Road Branch Library property.
Published: Thursday, January 6, 2011 at 8:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 6, 2011 at 10:49 p.m.
Separate proposals for the construction of two cell phone towers, including one on the Tower Road Branch Library property, are expected to go before the Alachua County Commission in upcoming months.
In the wooded, undeveloped west end of the library property, T-Mobile has applied to construct a 130-foot tower.
Approximately nine miles to the northwest, Jacksonville firm TowerCom has proposed to build a 199-foot high tower on a nearly seven-acre homestead at 14806 NW 36th Ave., with Sprint as an anchor tenant.
Representatives of both T-Mobile and TowerCom say the towers are needed to improve coverage in the area. David Boeff with TowerCom, which is seeking to develop its 18th tower site in the county, said that company's new tower would bridge a more than six-mile gap between tower sites along the County Road 241 corridor.
For the Alachua County Library District, the T-Mobile tower at the Tower Road Branch Library, 3020 SW 75th St, would generate revenue.
It's been more than two years since the district put out a request for proposals seeking companies interested in locating a cell tower at either the Tower Road library or the Millhopper Branch. The library district's Governing Board, comprised of two county commissioners, two Gainesville city commissioners and a School Board member, approved a lease agreement with T-Mobile for the Tower Road site in January 2009, said Sol Hirsch, library director.
Since then, the company has paid the library district $1,200 every six months to maintain the lease, Hirsch said. After the tower is built, the library district will receive $1,300 a month in base rent and an additional $200 a month for every additional antenna below the three on the top level, Hirsch said. In a time when governments are looking for ways to generate revenues, that could bring in up to $3,100 a month, he added, which could be reinvested in the library system.
The arrangement would not be unique for Alachua County. The school district, for example, receives $13,000 a year in a lease agreement involving a cell tower that has stood at the Diamond Sports Park since before the district purchased the property, district spokeswoman Jackie Johnson said.
Several residents along Southwest 81st Street — a narrow residential road west of the Tower library lined by large, wooded homesteads — are concerned about the proposed tower. For residents Elizabeth Scott and Virginia Chow, there are health concerns about the electromagnetic radiation from the towers.
"As a taxpayer, I resent the implication that the county library system will make money off something that is potentially dangerous to me and my neighbors," Scott said. "I don't think anyone has proven to me that there won't be a problem."
Chow said there also is a concern that the tower could have a negative effect on property values in the area. She voiced frustration that, in the past, development has been approved nearby over residents' opposition.
"I feel somehow that what we say doesn't really matter," Chow said.
When it comes to opposition to a cell tower for health concerns, it indeed may not. Federal law prohibits local governments from denying cell tower applications based on the potential for health concerns, said Missy Daniels, senior planner with the county Growth Management Department. That prohibition tying local governments' hands is rooted in the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Ann Brooks, a spokeswoman with T-Mobile, said that the "overwhelming consensus of the scientific community" is that cell towers do not pose a health risk due to the height of the antennas and the low power emissions.
On its website, the American Cancer Society stated that, based on the low energy level of radio frequency waves, their long wavelength and the height of tower antennas, "most scientists agree that cell phone antennas or towers are unlikely to cause cancer."
Both cell tower applications are scheduled to go to the county's advisory Planning Commission on Jan. 19 but Daniels said T-Mobile is expected to request a continuance until February.

Ripoff Report
PatchInternet USA
Patch an AOL internet news reporting site Censorship of proposed blogs and comments on their site Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
There are approx 900 individual community PATCH sites. This is an AOL operation. It has not made money and over the 5 years it has been up it has gone through several cost cutting efforts.
It still loses money and may well shut down this year.
My complaint is about the Kennesaw Patch whose site is found at: http://kennesaw.patch.com/
I have had no luck in getting a blog opened on their site despite several efforts. 80% of the proposed posts I attempt to put onto the site never appear. Inquiries to the supposed editor are never replied to.
A year ago it started downhill and I established a site which gave consumers info on their corporate problems. If you would like additional information on them you can take a look at the message board at: http://kennesawpatch.proboards.com/index.cgi You can just read the posts or make your own post/comment.

Start PDC05 Day 1
My day started with the Keynote marathon featuring Bill Gates, Jim Alchin and a host of people doing demos. Windows Vista, Linq, Office 12, Indigo (WCF) and Avalon (WPF) were the main topics covered, for a good overview of the content check out this post by Barry Gervin.
After the keynote I had a couple sessions I wanted to check out, one on Windows Forms 2.0 and one on SQL Server Service Broker. Both sessions filled up very quickly and so I was directed to the overflow rooms, for one session the overflow room was full as well and for the second I ended up getting lost and didn't arrive until well into the session. The end result is I spent a good part of the day hanging out in the Big Room and networking with people I only see at events like this.
While I was on my trek to find the overflow room for the Service Broker talk I bumped into Mario Cardinal and we started chatting about the product. As we rode up the escalator Mario commented that with Service Broker there's really no need for Indigo. I knew that Don Box (the guy in charge of the Indigo project) was standing right behind us so I turned to see his reaction which was kind of an interested grin. I asked Don if he was upset that all his work was now in vain, he said he didn't care as long as people were buying Microsoft technology he was happy.
After the breakout sessions I headed over to the PDC Underground, a GrokTalk style user group meeting where several Regional Directors gave 10 to 15 minute talks on varied subjects. Oh, and there was an open bar and finger foods…. sweet.
Finally, I attended the .NET Influencer party held a the White Lotus in West Hollywood. For the most part I hung out with the people from MSDN Canada as well as the Canadian RDs and MVPs. Geeky chat, a good live band, Sparkle (a young lady – not the software), and too many Coronas… it was a fun evening.

When I was little I had perfect vision. Until I went off to university, I was consulted on all things near (the ingredients in a can of soup) and far (street signs). "Yours will go too," my mother would say when I tried on her glasses and quickly flung them from my head before they made me dizzy.
Despite this warning about the inevitable deterioration of my sight, I didn't think much of getting my first pair of glasses at 20 years old. Perhaps this is because the prescription was so weak, I still got to retain some of my smugness when friends would try them on and ask if they were "for show". Because I am a horrible flincher, contact lenses are not an option. I'm always envious of contact-wearers. There are endless reasons to take off ones glasses during the day and as I have grown older, what I don't see has become increasingly pronounced.
If I go into a sandwich shop or anywhere that features "Today's specials" on a chalkboard more than 10 feet away, I have to ask for a printed menu. I smile at people I don't know on the street and ignore those I do. When at home, I often find myself grabbing my "back-up" glasses to search for the better-loved pair I have left on top of my dresser.
Recently, I visited the eye doctor in the hope of being told I need stronger spectacles. "Your prescription is correct," the doctor let me down, "your sight hasn't gotten worse since your last visit."
I wondered if eyesight works the same way a cough does. You're hacking up a lung and then the second you step into a physician's office, you can barely muster an exaggerated throat-clear. Because I swear my vision is getting worse. The other day I was sure I saw something crawl across the floor in my peripheral vision. Because I couldn't see what it was, I went out and bought roach traps as well as mouse traps. This is depressing, I thought, not to be able to tell the difference between a potential mouse and a potential large roach. I still don't know if what I saw was vermin or insect or fuzz. I didn't have my glasses on.

Kathmandu is a busy Nepalese city.

In my earlier articles, I had discussed about about application of Big Data for gathering Insights on green revolution and witnessed about a research work on supply chain management using Big Data analytics on agriculture. Incrementally, got an opportunity to implement data science methodology (a game theory approach) to make the results of SCM as an incentive compatible one. However, in this article I am trying to discuss about a large scale digital image processing obtained using time-series photographs of agricultural fields and sensor data for parameters, that should be done parallely with the help of Big Data Analytics such that the result of this work can facilitate SCM process exponentially.
We are focusing on using deep learning and machine learning techniques for identifying patterns for making predictins and decision making on large-scale stored / near real-time data sets. By this, we can identify the crop type, quality, maturity period for harvesting, early identification of bugs and diseases, soil quality attributes, early identification of need for soil nourishments etc., on a larger farms. These automation reduces considerable amount of manual work on large farms. For this,we need to work with two kinds of images that is fetched on near-real-time by sensors; i.e: vector and bitmap. The vector image (represented by mathematical vectors) where resizing image at any scale can be achieved without loss of quality, However the bitmap image is achieved by means of mapped bits where the image pixels are organized as a series of rows and columns formed by pixels (as a pixels' matrix) with each pixel (picture element) has only one color. There is a necessity for using intelligent deep learning methodology on BigData such that on each iteration, the machine itself grasps the minute details on patterns that enables the system to give accurate results over the period of time. We can exploit the ability of Deep Learning for extracting large-scale, high-level, complex abstraction on given data sets along with the data representations especially unsupervised data (such as our digital imagery data), that makes it as a valuable analysis on Big Data. More specifically, we can classify the problem areas in a large agricultural field by means of image tagging, using automated semantic indexes, data tagging, fast information retrieval then discriminative modeling, which can be better addressed with the aid of Deep Learning along with automated machine learning. However traditional machine learning and feature extraction algorithms are not efficient enough for extracting the complex and non-linear patterns generally observed in large scale images on Big Data sets.

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas at Children's Theatre Company
This review was for the 2014 run of How the Grinch Stole Christmas at Children's Theatre Company. Watch for it again at CTC November 7, 2017 through January 7, 2018.
Regardless of whether or not you read the following review,
you're going to want to enter our GIVEAWAY (expired) to win a family 4-pack of tickets to see Children's Theatre Company's production of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
For one thing, the show would make a wonderful no-clutter gift for the kids in your life. (No need to tell them you won a drawing to get them.) And for another, a chance to see this classic tale come to life was the perfect way to get me in the holiday spirit — I'd imagine it would be a great start to your season as well. Find the link to enter our giveaway below.
Of course, the Grinch (when we first encounter him, that is) would rather we leave the theater scorning everything about Christmas. That's precisely what he's been doing from his icy mountaintop cave for more than half a century. His only companion is his poor pooch Max, a closet Christmas fan and forced accomplice when the Grinch decides he's going to rob the holiday from his neighbors in Whoville.
You've likely read of the Whos, a people with a passion for Christmas, in the pages of Dr. Seuss' story. My favorite part of the show was watching these characters pop out of the story and onto the stage — in bright candy colors, singing, dancing, shopping frenetically for last-minute gifts. There are gentler moments among the Whos as well, proving that despite what the Grinch mistakenly believes, these families know the true meaning of Christmas.
Many kids are familiar with the story of the Grinch, and this works to the stage show's advantage. (I recommend reading the book with younger children ahead of time to introduce them to the characters). Instead of being concerned with keeping children's attention on the plot, the characters get to shine! The Grinch (Reed Sigmund) is awesomely over the top with his sickly green shag coat and passionate hostility toward Christmas (he might even frighten a toddler or two). We loved the tale's twist of having an elderly Max (the dog) narrate the story as though it happened to his master many years ago. And Cindy-Lou Who — the tiny Who daughter — is a stand-out with her angelic voice and message of what Christmas is truly about.
Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas
is playing at the Children's Theatre Company now through January 4, 2015.
Recommended for: all ages. The performance lasts just under two hours including a short intermission.
Tickets: $25-$80/pp depending on age and show date. Learn about CTC ticket prices and policies here. Lap passes for children 3 years and under are available for $5. Groups of 10 or more receive a 25% discount (phone reservations only at 612.874.0400).
Directions & Parking: Children's Theatre Company is located at 2400 3rd Avenue South
Minneapolis, MN 55404. Parking is available in the adjacent Minneapolis Institute of Arts ramp for $6/5 hrs. There is also free street parking within a block of the theater.
*** GIVEAWAY! *** To be entered into our drawing for a family 4-pack of tickets to see Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas at Children's Theatre Company, leave a comment on this post sharing one of your family's favorite holiday stories (book, film, stage, etc.). We will draw a winner on Monday, November 24 at 9pm. The winner will be notified by e-mail. Good luck!

Lots of individuals search through forums as well as content articles online to learn which products are most likely to continue to surge in value and also those that they are able to expect to increase swiftly. Simply by paying attention to these types of particulars, a person may find more they wish to invest in as well as understand precisely how to determine when to invest in a product or company and also when to think aboutgadgetguru selling their particular stocks. It really is vital for someone to generally be as knowledgeable as they can with regards to the current state of the stockmarket and also how it could modify in the near future.
One of several modifications expected on the website here may be the price of silver. Despite the fact that silver has been escalating slowly and gradually for quite some time, a single investor has found that the need for silver is considerably higher than the majority of individuals think. Because of these, he thinks that the worth of silver could go up drastically over the the coming year. In reality, he thinks that the price of silver may double. This implies it may be an outstanding investment for an individual who desires to make a little extra cash speedily.
The key reason why he believes silver is going to rise in price so substantially is because Apple lately pushed back the production of one of their most recent products. The reason behind this, he feels, is caused by a silver shortage that means production slowed down ahead of the preliminary release date. In the event that this is legitimate, it might imply that silver is more significant than it has been in past times. Besides this, he has identified other factors to think that silver will almost certainly increase dramatically, including record gross sales lately. This is actually a good indication that a change is on its way, however it might be hard to see precisely how much of a direct effect all of this can have.
If perhaps you'd like to learn much more about the existing worth of silver and also exactly what the estimations are for the immediate future, check out my link. You'll learn that he has a good point and that it may be wise to begin buying silver at this time to be able to see a huge rise in the future and to be able to discover even more increases much later on. Have a look at the info today in order to learn more before you invest.

Marti, Gerardo (2012) Book review: the management of religion is an inevitable part of modern government. LSE Review of Books (02 Jul 2012) Blog Entry.
- Published Version
Download (71Kb) | Preview
Despite previous predictions from sociologists, religion not only occupies an important place for many in our modern world, but remains even more accessible through increased levels of literacy and access to mass media. Religion and the State argues that it is the duty of modern states to intervene in religious affairs to minimise inter-faith conflict. Gerardo Marti finds that the book gives the subject of secularisation the analytical depth that it deserves.

My DD was a very fussy high needs baby and I always felt like there was something that just wasn't right, that she was just too unhappy, but my pedi never agreed. She was exclusivly breastfed and I brought up allergies several times only to be told that the chances of her being allergic to something I was eating were slim.
Now she is 18 months old and pretty much still refusing to eat solid foods. She'll take a couple bites here and there, mostly just fruits or veggies but isn't real interested in table food, still nursing a lot. My mom was telling me that sometimes kids with allergies just know that they shouldn't be eating certain foods and avoid them and maybe thats why she won't eat? Does that make sense?
Also she just in the last 6 weeks has developed a full body rash. At first her pedi thought it was a virus but is now calling it allergies. She's miserable with itching so we did 5 days of prednisone and it took the rash away only for it to come back jsut as bad a new days after stopping the steroids. The Dr. now wants her taking Claritin every day in addition to lotions several times a day. I'm still wondering if something I'm eating is causing this. Have any of you had experience with babies reacting to/having a reaction to something you ate and they got through the breastmilk?
uh yes. For my son it was milk that I was drinking and he would projectile vomit.
Allergy tests under age 2 (IgE, "normal" allergies) are not very accurate. What you're talking about can be either food intolerances or food allergies (also could throw some environmental allergies as well). As in, could the rash be from a change in detergents, and the other things be from food?
The top 8 allergens are pretty well known. The top 4 intolerances are dairy, gluten, soy, and corn (in that order). If symptoms are all the time, it's most likely one (or more) of those since they're in 80-90% of the food most Americans eat. If symptoms come and go, a food journal might be helpful to determine what is causing things. Probiotics and gut healing also help.
Most doctors don't know anything about food intolerances, and most allergies don't "believe" in them. Some gastroenterologists understand them, but not many.

longer searchable by allergen, but at least it doesn't have a virus!)
Allergy testing for my 14 month old ds turned out to be extremely accurate. He was found to be allergic to eggs, milk, and peanuts--all things that I ate while breastfeeding. He started with eczema at 3 months of age, that was our first clue. Our pedi suggested eliminating dairy from my diet which didn't help. After a trial of cow's milk by ds at 12 months resulted in swollen lips and a red, blotchy rash on his chin and neck we had him tested at the recommendation of our pedi.
Lotion never helped my ds with the eczema and we didn't feel comfortable using steroid creams. I personally wouldn't do the Claritin--it will only cover up the symptoms, not eliminate the allergy or intolerance. Same with the prednisone. I would suggest eliminating the top allergens from your diet for a few weeks and keeping a food journal.

John CarringtonMature
I carefully re-assembled my Colt M1911 and loaded it. A sudden knock at the door drew my attention. I lived in the middle of no where, my nearest neighbor being a few miles away. I slipped the pistol in the waistband of my pants before walking to the door. Seeing a man in a black suit, I opened the door.
"Just turn around and leave mister. I ain't buying whatever you're selling," I said.
"Mr. Carrington, I am Agent Jeremy Simmons of the CIA. We have discovered that the terrorists who killed your team were tipped off to their location by a mole in our government. We have also discovered that this mole is one of many involved in a serious terror plot. Your skill set would be useful to foil this plot. Will you help us?" replied the man.
I scratched my chin before saying, "Just give me his name and I'll take care of it."
Agent Simmons shook his head and said, "It doesn't work like that. You'll be a member of a team who will take down this group. You'll get your revenge, but it has to be handled carefully. We don't know how many agents have been turned. If you don't want to cooperate, someone just might find out about your hidden stash of explosives. C4, grenades, rocket launchers, all very illegal for a civilian to possess."
"Fine, I'll join your team," I said.
Agent Simmons smiled, then said, "Excellent, be at this address on Friday."

Continental Classics
Following on from last year's event, a lineup of 12 European movies that will appeal to both die-hard cineastes and those who couldn't figure out why the press mourned the passing of Antonioni and Bergman (here with L'Eclisse and The Seventh Seal, respectively) so much. Starting with The Beat That My Heart Skipped, the list includes Diva, Jamon Jamon, 8 1/2, The Battle Of Algiers, The Leopard and more - with a three-for-the-price-of-four ticketing deal. As either a primer or refresher on continental cinema you couldn't do better than this.

Charlie Chaplin: The Mutuals
Chaplin first originated his tramp persona at Mack Sennet's Keystone Studio, but his real development - both creative and commerical - began in at the Mutual Film Corporation. Mutual gave Chaplin then-unprecedented artistic freedom, even building him his own studio. Over the next year, he delivered 12 classic two-reeler comedies. He later claimed this to be his favourite period of work, and you can see newly restored versions of all 12 films here, together for the first time. Carl Davis will be providing live musical accompaniment with a pared-down version of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and each night's selection will be introduced by Chaplin fans and experts, including Richard Briers, David Robinson and, Charlie's son, Michael Chaplin.

Chiropractor Finds Home in Plymouth's Historic Train Station
Dr. Kevin Venerus opens his new chiropractic practice in Plymouth's Train Station located in the heart of the Old Village.
Since graduating from the National University of Health Sciences in 2002, Dr. Venerus has been in practice in the Livonia area. When Plymouth's Train Station became available, he decided to make the move to Plymouth.
"It is a beautiful building, in the perfect location," he said. "I have always been a fan of historic buildings. The layout of the building was perfect for a chiropractic office. It has the original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and large open space with plenty of windows", he added.
Dr. Venerus has been reading about the history of train stations since he knew his office would be located in one.
"The Plymouth Train Station was built in 1871 and was a part of the Pere Marquette railway. It is fascinating to think that between 1871, and the creation of the automobile and roads in the early 20thCentury, this rail station was one of the only ways to leave or enter Plymouth" said Dr. Venerus.
"I am really excited for my practice to be a part of the Old Village, and become involved in the Plymouth community. I've joined the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce and looking forward to being an active member" he said.
Dr. Venerus specializes in the treatment of low back, and neck pain.
"We utilize a technique called Flexion-Distraction for our patients with low back pain. It gives the patient a feeling of a really good stretch in their lower back while I target specific levels of their lumbar spine," he said.
Dr. Venerus added, "Chiropractic care is also effective in treating shoulder, hip, knee, or almost any joint in the body. When there is muscle or ligament involvement, we utilize special neurological stretches or physical therapy modalities such as ultrasound and electric stimulation."
"Once the patient is pain-free, we incorporate specific exercises into the treatment plan to keep the patient pain-free," he added.
"I am accepting new patients, and I am looking forward to meeting many residents in the Plymouth area, and hopefully provide them with quality chiropractic care." Said Dr. Venerus
The Plymouth Chiropractic Center accepts most insurances including BCBS, Aetna, Medicare, Cigna, just to name a few. Late evening appointments are available.
The office is located at 900 Starkweather, in Plymouth Mi. You can contact by phone at (734) 437-7689, or on Facebook.com/

Awesome Orange Harbor
I had me a liesurely drive down old Mr 75 to my destination, namely the Orange Harbor RV Resort in Ft Meyers, Florida. I think I travelled a whoppin 80 miles. The ride was filled with some pretty stuff along the way...New housing developments (these are big houses), malls, car lots, RV sales places. annnndddd the everywhere RV stor in Florida CAMPING WORLD...
I had no idea what my new home ...
Getting started
Had a two stop flight from Fort Myers to Quebec. Made it two thirds of the way then Betty lost her balance and fell on a moving walkway and tore her left hamstring. Needless to say we had to spend the night in the emergency room in Montreal where no one spoke English as a first language and none of the signage was in English. She was released in the morning and we finished the last leg to Quebec. We made to the ship but she has wheelchair and a walker for ...
The Bus -- Short Story
... supposed to take the bus during the time you're not scheduled. If it gets full you'll be taking someone else's seat."
She could sit in the front stairwell he thought. If the bus is full no one will be coming in. It's a simple enough matter to get off at any of the other stops to let others get out. He noticed a sign perched over that area right about that time that expressly forbade anyone sitting there
The new passenger back peddled a little.
We like Naples!
... million dollar homes. There are also lots of gated communities with fancy dancy entrances - think mini Vegas! We had a very pleasant stroll around the shops & wondered how all the restaurants could ever make it. Well after watching sunset at the beach we drove back along 5th Avenue to marvel at all the full restaurants that were empty only 2 hours before.
A Mole and a Stomach Ache
... lots of moles so at first it was no big deal. We kept watching it for changes and noticed that it was odd looking, not smooth like his other moles but kind of flakey. Around a month ago I finally insisted he get it checked out. Two opinions suggested he have a biopsy done on it. That's about the time my stomach tightened with a sense of dread. Thomas was nervous as well. We told Mecca the reason for ...
