Could it be the thing to clamp the meat grinder/cherry-stoner/apple peeler (etc) onto? There used to be a lot of mechanical crank-operated kitchen tools that needed a firm mounting; usually this was the kitchen table edge, but maybe the builder planned for another way, perhaps knowing there would not be an appropriate table.
Or it's a very small ironing board!
Remove not the ancient landmark, which your fathers have set.

James C. Review
The New Moosewood Cookbook
My old copy of this book got wet several years ago. I thought I had lost it forever. Count on Overstock to have what you are looking for. This is one of the best cookbooks I have ever had. EVERYTHING I have tried has been excellent. I like this updated version, with less oil and butter, for those of us who need that kind of thing. Another GREAT item with a GREAT Overstock price.

And, of course, they perform some of their songs live in the studio.

On the topic of his resume, Boeheim is considered a tier below Bobby Knight, Coach K, Roy Williams, Adolf Rupp, Dean Smith, Jim Calhoun, and John Wooden. Sure, he's in the basketball Hall of Fame.

And people miss email. Or they thought it might be implemented differently. Or WHATEVER. It doesn't matter. There is no time limit on standing against a change. It is possible to veto something that was checked in *months* ago. That change would then have to be backed out before release, or some solution/compromise reached instead.

|Ocean and GData
|Sat, 27 Sep 2008 05:17:09 GMT
Hi, Here is one thing that's been confusing me. http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/OceanRealtimeSearch?highlight=(GData) often mentions GData and relates it to real-time search (to Ocean), as if it is GData that provides real-time search functionality. But isn't GData simply a communication protocol (Atom with some custom additions by Google)? If so, are statements like "Ocean addresses this by providing the same functionality as GData open sourced for use in any project" really correct? If GData is just a communication protocol, and Ocean is really primarily the search engine that is capable of real-time search, then is it really correct to compare Ocean with GData? My feeling is that the thinking is: "When I access Google's databases using GData I can see my changes to those databases immediately". But that doesn't make GData this real-time thing, but rather the backend, no? Please enlighten me if I'm misunderstanding what GData is.

hunting farm with income where you can consistently harvest mature whitetails, turkeys, quail, and small game. A small pond and a creek that winds through out the farm offers a water year round source. This farm is income producing between cash rent for tillable acreage and CRP income that totals 4-$5,000 annually. We all know what types of diverse cover it takes to hold game and this property has it all! The 27.5 acres of tillable ground will provide food for the critters while providing income. The CRP/Native Grass also provides income and is a excellent place for the deer to bed and turkeys and quail to nest. Several additional acres could be converted from hay meadows to more tillable ground or food plot areas.

What Do Horror Movies Have to Do With Tax Returns?
A simple tax saving often missed.
April 18, 2011
Fade in:
A dreary moon casts a dark shadow across a small isolated hillside house.
A scantily clad woman sleeps on a couch, a fireplace crackles nearby, TV plays in the background. A sleeping cat awakens sensing something. Moments later, the cat hisses, hair needles up and it inches back to a corner, cowering.
Then, all power goes out and somewhere in the house, something shatters a window. The woman instantly awakens, unsure as to whether or not she just heard something. A moment later, she hears distant footsteps walking on broken glass. Something is most definitely in the house.
She sweeps the cat into her arms and takes very careful steps towards the dark hallway, terrified, wondering who or what can be at the end of it. Frightened, the cat scratches off her, running away.
The woman turns to the front door ... run out? Or, walk the dark hallway to see what's at the end of it ... which way? ... She takes a deep breath, musters up some courage and as she steps and disappears into the darkness of the hall, screeching music fades up and in bone-chilling letters, the title of the movie fades in, "The Hallway of Doom."
Fade out.
Have you ever seen a bad movie like this? I have. And every time I do, I ask myself the question, "why doesn't she just run out the house?"
Needless to say, if she did make a run for it, the movie would be over and I'd feel cheated because there was no confrontation between good and evil.
Similarly, when tax season comes rolling around — it may not be something as obvious as the woman who can escape pure evil by running out her door — but glancing at a specific part of a tax return, I often wonder, "Why aren't more people paying attention to lines 8a and 9a of their tax returns?"
Often, but certainly not always, these line items represent one of the best opportunities in which clients can reduce tax. If it sounds like an obvious area to look at, it certainly might be. But like many things in life, sometimes the most obvious things in life get lost in the busy lives many of us lead, especially when many of us hurry to get our returns completed on time.
8a, 9a and Schedule B: Matches Not Made in Heaven
Let's start with the basics as to how lines 8a and 9a appearing on page one of the 1040 return relate to Schedule B.
As a reminder, the amounts noted on 8a and 9a tie directly to Schedule B in which clients are going to find a listing of the places where your clients have money invested, such as banks and brokerage firms. On Schedule B, the line items list and tally interest and dividends earned on investments such as CDs, brokerage and savings accounts.
Most clients obviously need things such as banking accounts. After all, having a savings account is an important thing and I'm certainly not implying one should consider getting rid of something as needful as this just to save some taxes. But when Schedule B Part I (Interest) tallies amounts your clients aren't using to supplement their income or pay for day-to-day living, this is the first leak in their tax tub that can be potentially patched up.
For example, in Part I of Schedule B, interest being earned from something such as bond mutual funds are often kept in brokerage accounts. If it was my money, I'd ask myself whether or not these funds can be replaced with an investment that doesn't throw taxable earnings over to line 8a, causing me to pay unnecessary taxes. Questions your clients should be asked include:
These are important considerations and several possible solutions are available that may reduce unnecessary taxes. According to Lipper Inc., a provider of mutual and hedge fund data analytics, the average mutual fund in the country loses between one-and-a-half percent to two percent of its value to taxes paid each year.
While these percentages may not sound like much, think about this:
Do your clients have line items on Schedule B Part I that are throwing income over to line 8a? If they aren't actually using these earnings, you would likely do them a great service by evaluating their holdings. Doing so can often save them plenty of taxes and make you feel like the valiant hero that helps the gorgeous feline defeat that nasty evil awaiting at the end of her dark hall.
Part II: Dividends
I love dividends.
Think about it. Your clients are investing in stock(s) that not only can go up in value, but while it's hopefully doing that, it's paying them cash, which is certainly a nice thing.
But when those dividends show up on Schedule B, Part II, unless your clients are a part of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), it may not be such a nice thing. Consider the possibilities to replace a stock or stock fund with:
If your clients see a brokerage account listed in this section and earnings showing up on these line items, recommend your clients evaluate holdings. When doing so, you will see funds that either pay many dividends or "turn over" your client's portfolio of stocks many times, thereby causing all sorts of taxable income and capital gains.
In these cases, it's once again an opportunity for clients to take their investments in for a tune up. Exploring the possibility of moving investments into a more tax favorable environment can not only put them into a better position, but also give you a way to help your clients proactively save some unnecessary taxes.
Humanoids From the Deep?
The Blood Sucking Thing From Outer Space? Or
Line 8a and 9a of your tax return?At first glance, they may appear completely different but underneath it all, there are usually obvious solutions that can typically help save the day.

Boardwalk Fresh Burgers and Fries Almost Open
We broke the news last March that Boardwalk Fresh Burgers and Fries, a Maryland-based chain, was opening its first California outlet here in the space vacated by Irezumi Sushi.
Well, it's mid-June now and things are getting closer to being open, but not quite. In fact, some Yelpers (actually, just one) noted that they saw coupons for it in the neighborhood Clipper Magazine, suggesting that the place was already doing business. Nope. It's still not ready. But word is that they'll start by the end of the month.

When it comes to online retail stores, people keep mentioning two names: one that we will circle back to in a few paragraphs and Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN).
One of the biggest pieces of news that has investors of Amazon particularly interested is its acquisition of Avalon Books, adding a little over 3,000 new book titles for its book stock. While not immediately moving it to its Kindle platform, the books that the company will publish will be available in print for sale in bookstore. This is a big step since it is trying to compete in a market where you never know where a bestseller is going to come from. Investors should keep an eye on this to see whether any of the new titles can bring more revenue into the company.
Why should investors be worried about the revenue of all things? Because Amazon has recently issued a lower than expected earnings guidance for the second quarter of 2012 and there are concerns over the revenues as a result. As a result, it is trading lower than anticipated. However, experts just cannot seem to agree what to make of this. There are analysts that say it is a must buy and then there those that contend it was a neutral stock (meaning no visible improvement or worsening conditions, but is, in any case, bad for the company's image).
Despite all of this however, it seems that Amazon still has a few tricks up its sleeve. The aforementioned acquisition has it on a stock watch list along with some of the bigger names in the market. It has also recently received a patent that it applied for in 2008 which allows it the use of technology for "electronic gifting", in lieu of gift certificates or gift cards, something that will help with seasonal purchases for these items and boost its sales in these periods.
In addition, something that might be of interest to investors and other people concerned, Amazon has invested $52 million in air conditioning for its plants after ambulances lined up at one of its warehouses in Pennsylvania, ready to take employees who collapsed from heat. This will go a long way to assuage any employees who might have had complaints and prevented incentive for strikes and work stoppages, which would not help its revenue problems at all.
You remember the other big name we were going to talk about. Well, now would be a good time to mention that some people are of the belief that eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) is the better buy in online retail. Why not, when it offers up services like offline PayPal purchases with stores? Not just any stores, mind you, but huge retail outlets like Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE:ANF), Foot Locker (NYSE:FL) and JCPenney (NYSE:JCP) to name a few. It is making huge strides to have PayPal rival the likes of credit card moguls like Visa (NYSE:V) or MasterCard (NYSE:MA), which can only be very good news for it because it will allow people to make purchases on PayPal without being online and making it more accessible, which plays to eBay's advantage, naturally.
One of its former employees, Mr. Daniel Kao, has just been named the Chief Technology Officer of Vipshop Holdings (NYSE:VIPS), a leading online discount retailer in China. It is a big step in the right direction for Vipshop Holdings, since Kao was a software engineer and software development manager for eBay for seven years, and has an understanding of how exactly to make the company site work better for its needs. This development will likely have a positive impact on Vipshop stock.
While on the topic of China, it might be a good time to note that not everything is going its way. Companies like E-Commerce China Dangdang (NYSE:DANG) fell hard as the whole industry fell down in a heap. Investors in these companies might quickly want to jump ship before the whole thing collapses and they are taken down with it.
Another company that is not really doing all that well is Systemax (NYSE:SYX). It has just been downgraded from buy to hold by TheStreet Ratings due to the unimpressive growth in net income and a general disappointment in the stock's performance. This is to offset its solid financial position and reasonable debt levels, which is somewhat understandable when you consider how meaningless it can be to have a lot of money and nothing to do with it. This seems to be a reasonable downgrading and investors would be wise to heed the report.
As you can see, only eBay stands a chance of bringing Amazon down. However, it is going to have a tough time if Amazon can do things like collect taxes on sales in New Jersey and get state financial help if it opens a warehouse in the state. This, as well as hiring a really big name in the writing industry, Clive Barker, to rewrite Zombies vs. Gladiators for Amazon studios, which could be truly huge for its consumer base.
So does that mean that you should just disregard eBay and go to Amazon instead? Well, the advice from some analysts would be to do the opposite: sell off Amazon and move somewhere else. All of the incentives it has received in the past are slowly beginning to fall off and that means that Amazon might just curtail in growth enough that the stock falls and investors are going to feel unrewarded.
My final assessment: abandon the Amazon ship. It is not worth staying on if the most exciting thing to happen to it is that it buys a ton of books. Unless they can amaze people by pulling a major trick, investors should start to slowly sell off their Amazon stock while they can get something for it. I also recommending steering clear of E-Commerce China DangDang and Systemax at this time. I have much more confidence in recommending eBay, and even Vipshop.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Dr. Thomas C. Redman, the data Doc and President of Data Quality Solutions,has written another book that tackles the same issue his firm regularly deals with: Data Quality. Joining his previous works, which include data Driven: Profiting from Your Most Important Business Assetand Data Quality: The Field Guide, isGetting in Front on Data. This time around, though, Dr. Redman is talking more about the people and the roles they should play in achieving Data Quality rather than providing a step-by-step how-to guide to the topic. DATAVERSITY® had a chance to speak with Dr. Redman, a contributor both to our website and events, about the new book and the help it offers Business and IT leaders who want to make an impact on Data Quality in their organization.
DATAVERSITY (DV): Tell us a little more about the impetus for writing this book.
Dr. Redman: In the past I mostly focused on the "how" of doing the work of Data Quality. Here I wanted to focus more on the "who does what" to achieve Data Quality. With the right people and structure in place, the fact is that Data Quality improves really, really fast. So in this book I try to tease out how you get the right people in place – who they are, where they come from, what sets those who approach Data Quality properly apart from those who don't – and tell the story from the organizational viewpoint.
DV: What data issues continue to drive the need for business and IT professionals to have resources, such as your past books and now Getting in Front on Data, at their disposal?
Dr. Redman: Bad data is like a virus. You can start at the bottom of the organizational chart and find someone infected by it. For instance, there's the person who's charged with fulfilling an online order but the address is wrong. That's a problem for that person who is doing real work in realtime and who may or may not be able to correct it. Crank it up a bit and there's the large class of knowledge workers who may spend up to 50% of their time looking for data they need or correcting simple errors or searching for confirmatory sources for things that look wrong.
Further up the organizational chart you'll meet a senior executive who resembles someone whose story I tell in the new book: This person asked me to explain to him Data Quality in simple terms. I asked him to remember the last time he made a big decision and whether he trusted the data it was based on. He thought about it a minute and then he said that he didn't think he ever trusted very much of the data he uses for making decisions. It was just his job to try and steer through it all.
So just up and down the organization people run into bad data all the time. They do their best to accommodate it and sometimes they do that well. But a lot of time they don't and the results could be anything from sending a package to the wrong address and irritating a customer to making a bad business decision that has enormous cost to the company.
Bad data may simply be wrong data, like the address, or it may be poorly defined data – for instance, numbers in a report are represented as metric units but that isn't clearly defined, so people assume they are English units and make decisions based on that assumption. Problems with unclear definitions happen a lot because companies so often are pulling data together from different sources and these sources don't always have the same understanding of what, for example, a customer is.
DV: What changes, then, should take place in an organization's staff to get these problems in hand?

The University recognizes the need for all members of the University community, administrators, faculty, staff, and students to reaffirm formally their profound commitment to freedom of speech and to clarify the implications of that commitment.

We believe it is our responsibility to espouse an atmosphere of free speech and free inquiry and to advocate for the timely discussion of a wide variety of issues. We believe, further, that vital intellectual discourse is essential to democracy and to ensuring a just society. Believing speech to be false, deleterious, or in any other way odious cannot be cause for its suppression except for speech as specified under allowable exemptions below. Preventing speech from occurring by disruptive protest also constitutes an attack on freedom of speech.

At UMass Dartmouth, don't protest outside the zone
October 17, 2012
by Matt Camara South Coast Today DARTMOUTH — UMass Dartmouth students had better keep quiet. A university policy restricting public assemblies to an official "public forum space" creates a "chilling effect" on student willingness to protest or engage in political demonstrations, students and faculty told The Standard-Times. "It says in this spot and this spot only can you protest," said philosophy professor Phil Cox, who describes the policy as unconstitutional. "It's a very unfortunate compromise of students' rights." The public forum area, commonly called the "free speech zone" by students and faculty, encompasses a patch of grass 75 feet […]» Read More
UMass Dartmouth Free Speech Zone: Unenforced, But Still Unconstitutional
October 18, 2012
Students at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth are speaking out against the university's limitations on where students may protest or engage in public political speech. As The Standard-Times (New Bedford, Mass.) reports, UMass Dartmouth's "free speech zone" "encompasses a patch of grass 75 feet southeast of the campanile at the center of campus and bordered on each side by walkways." According to the article, the policy has not been enforced since its creation in 2005, despite at least one protest occurring outside the zone. Nevertheless, as philosophy professor Phil Cox notes, UMass's rules and regulations regarding "public forum spaces" interfere […]» Read More

A move to tighten rules against disruptive demonstrations in campus buildings at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst met with angry resistance from some students and faculty, who planned to deliver a letter to school administrators today questioning the constitutionality of the changes. Specialists on the issue said the controversy at UMass comes in the midst of a larger movement by administrators on college campuses nationwide to limit or contain protests, including a growing number of schools where demonstrations are allowed only in designated free-speech zones on campus.

Senator Franklin M. Drilon, Philippine Senate President: Investigate the release of high-valued Abu Sayaf bombers
On behalf of the bereaved families and victims of bombings and kidnappings in Mindanao and in the interest truth and justice, the undersigned civil society organizations, human rights defenders and peace advocates strongly call for an immediate and impartial investigation over the suspicious release from detention of high-valued Abu Sayyaf inmates from the Special Intensive Care Area (SICA) of Bicutan Jail sometime in February 2013 through the alleged "facilitation" of a very powerful politician from Sulu.
While Mindanaoans are terrorized with the spate of bombings now rocking the fledgling peace in Mindanao, it is highly repulsive and mind-boggling why national agencies of government like the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF), which is under the Office of the President, and the Task Force on Anti-Terrorism of the Department of Justice allowed the release of highly dangerous terrorists who made no qualms that they are involved in bombings and kidnappings.
On February 7, 2013, national print and online media outfits reported the order of the Department of Justice to release 18 suspected Abu Sayyaf men allegedly wrongfully accused of kidnapping as "There appears to be no proof of their participation in the kidnapping much less evidence of their purported membership in the Abu Sayyaf Group." The 18 were charged for the kidnapping and beheading of Jehovah's Witness/Almeda Group members in 2002. Because of the dropping of their criminal charges by the DOJ, these 18 walked to freedom on February 15, 2013.
What is shocking is that barely a month from their release from prison, four of these 18 suspects, namely Muhammad Sali Said, Robin Sahiyal, Julhamad Ahad and Mujibar Amon were presented before the Regional Trial Court of Manila-Branch 19 as witnesses of Governor Abdusakur Tan in criminal cases which he has filed against a known human rights defender from Sulu.
In open court, these men have admitted that they are bombers, kidnappers and proud active members of the Abu Sayyaf Group. Sali Said, the star witness produced by the Governor, admitted that he was released from prison through the help of the lawyer of the governor who offered to help him "process (his) papers for release" on the condition that his group will agree to stand as false witnesses for the governor.
Why these Abu Sayyaf inmates released from prison is the biggest question that up to now the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos and the Department of Justice refuse to answer. Who repackaged these highly dangerous terrorists to fall under the legal assistance program of the NCMF and made them appear as innocent Muslims wrongly arrested due to mistaken identity? While we are of course supportive of this type of programs as there are indeed hundreds of innocent detainees now languishing in jail, we strongly condemn the act of "inserting" into the list of innocent Muslims wrongly arrested due to mistaken identity—the names of at least four Abu Sayyaf bombers and kidnappers, namely Robin Sahiyal, Muhammad Sali Said and Julhamad Ahadi who walked to freedom last February 15, 2013.
While our young soldiers are risking their lives and limbs running after the Abu Sayyaf in Sulu, it is simply sickening to the senses and a complete mockery of justice to find our own national agencies like the NCMF and DOJ providing free legal assistance to high-valued terrorists, bombers and kidnappers? How can we ever reconcile the use of taxpayers' money to set free the Abu Sayyaf Group? How can NCMF and DOJ ever miss the sea of difference between an innocent Muslim wrongly arrested due to mistaken identity and the solid intelligence dossier of these hard core terrorists?
Who placed the names of these terrorists into the list of innocent Muslims wrongly arrested due to mistaken identity? Who made the deal so that the four ASG witnesses of the Governor will be categorized as innocent Muslims? Who closed his eyes on the glaring fact that these four are Abu Sayyaf members? Who repackaged the four terrorists to become innocent, wrongly arrested Muslims so they can qualify into the NCMF legal assistance program?
These questions demand answers from NCMF, DOJ and the Provincial Government of Sulu whose appalling modus operandi has ostensibly exposed the civilian population into such extreme level of risks from these terrorists who are now freely roaming around public places and could now be plotting the next bomb to detonate and kill our own people.
We appeal to the Philippine Senate to immediately call for an inquiry so that the NCMF, DOJ and the Vice Governor of Sulu will be able to answer for all these issues.
In the name of the victims of bombings and other terroristic acts in Mindanao, we urge President Aquino to demonstrate the full force of the law by holding his very own agencies of government and political allies accountable to the "matuwid na daan" policy.
- President, Philippine Senate
Senator Franklin M. Drilon
We appeal to the Philippine Senate to immediately call for immediate and impartial investigation over the suspicious release from detention of high-valued Abu Sayyaf inmates from the Special Intensive Care Area (SICA) of Bicutan Jail sometime in February 2013.

Good evening folks. I am coming to you from St. Louis, which is experiencing downright Arctic conditions right now (at least it feels that way after four days in sunny Florida).
Tonight is the night when most of the big trades surrounding the MLS Draft will take place and there are few scenes more entertaining than the one at the league's hotel bar on the night before the draft. That is where team officials from throughout the league will gather to negotiate and, in some cases, finalize deals.
It sounds as though Sigi Schmid and Seattle are stealing Mo Johnston's thunder a bit heading into the draft. As you have known for a while, Toronto FC has been looking to shop the No. 2 and No. 4 picks in the draft, but now that Seattle appears to have decided to try and shop the No. 1 pick, the whole game has changed.
Why? Well, Seattle is different from Toronto because as an expansion team the Sounders can benefit from acquiring more picks in what almost every head coach and GM I spoke to last week is calling a storng draft. Toronto doesn't need picks and therefore had been limited to trying to acquire players and allocation money for its picks. Suddenly teams have become more interested in talking trade with the Sounders because now all those picks some teams have can go toward moving up.
Here are some other news tidbits from the evening:
The Red Bulls announced the completion of its trade of Mike Magee to the Los Angeles Galaxy, and yes, the deal was for a second-round pick in 2010. Other teams said to have been interested in Magee were Toronto FC (which would have re-united Magee with former Red Bull coach Mo Johnston) and Chicago, which is where Magee is from. Sources also tell me that the Red Bulls passed on a late offer from Toronto of the No. 13 pick for Magee, choosing instead to honor the deal it already had in place with the Galaxy.
FC Dallas has signed defender Steve Purdy from German club 1860 Munich. The young American defender spent time with the reserve team at 1860 Munich after passing up a chance to play for the LA Galaxy, which used a supplemental draft pick on him in 2007. With two years having passed, the Galaxy's claim on Purdy expired, allowing FC Dallas to pounce and add a big 6-foot-4 center back. It is an acquisition that would suggest that the Hoops will sit out the chase for Omar Gonzalez and focus on other areas of the field in the draft (such as fullback and central midfield).
The Galaxy traded the rights to 'retired' defender Ty Harden to the Colorado Rapids for a third-round pick. Not sure what led to that move but it seems likely that Harden is ready to return to MLS (or at least the Rapids are trying to lure him back). LA acquired the 35th overall pick in the draft for Harden's rights.
So who do I see winding up with the top draft picks when it's all said and done? D.C., Chivas USA, Kansas City and New England are the leading candidates to move up.
That is all for now. I will try to crank out some answers to the MLS Draft questions people asked tonight (I may also be posting any late-breaking developments throughout the evening). For now, feel free to share your thoughts on any of the above news items in the comments sections below.
El Fur Ball
Any more news on the Revs going for Gomez? And are the RB's talking to anyone overseas?
Ken U
I hope that Red Bull didnt get that offer of the 13th pick for Magee and decided to honor the condition 2nd round pick because with more expansion next year that 2nd round pick loses even more value, it may not even end up being a 2nd rounder since it id conditional and with 11, 13, 18 and 29 Red Bull would have had some picks to trade if they wanted to move up.
Also thats why they should have waited for draft day to complete the trade
Red Bull don't do the end around for the 13th pick? While I support them being ethical, I wish they held out for a little bit heh.
Ives, if you hang out at the hotel bar tonight, make sure Goose doesn't drink too much and trade away our 2nd DP for the MLS rights to Abel Xavier and a hot pretzel…
So how has Purdy actually looked lately? His draft position and size seem to point him being a solid player, but I've never actually seen him play.
Why was Magee worth so little to NY?
Agoos needs to be fired immediately for his incompetence. How he messed up trading Magee is beyond acceptable. If you want to trade the guy, at least go through the proper process and talk to everyone that is interested before settling on a deal.
Many deals would have been better than the one Agoos accepted. I'm sorry, but he really needs to rethink his decision and break-up the LA deal. Frankly his incompetence is outrageous.
Scott A
Ives, can anyone at the hotel mingle at the bar among the dealmakers? haha
Ives…please follow agoos around and listen in to his convos and offer your insight to him. I know its stalker-ish but i dont trust the guy making moves for my team
Jacob A.
cbr just came up with the first mls-related snl skit.
Ossington Mental Youth
i suspect they didnt trade to TFC as it as prob a done deal AND they didnt want to strengthen a conference opponent
dr dcr vcr
Mike Magee should be thanking Agoos for not trading him to TFC for the sheer fact that his history of injuries and turf simply do not go together. I think now that Magee is not playing on turf, he could have a Buddle-like comeback next season.
"Also thats why they should have waited for draft day to complete the trade"
Posted by: Ken U | January 14, 2009 at 10:42 PM
Good point. Really dumb move by RBNY to not wait until the draft to do this deal and really dumb to not pull out of the LA deal for the 13th pick. That's just madness.
Ossington Mental Youth
In favor of Paul Winsper, our health coach, youll see our injuries were minimal this year, really the only ones were from concussions (dichio) and im sure someone can point out whatever Tebilys illness was
The rumor in Colorado is that they traded for Harden so they could trade him to Seattle.
"Sources also tell me that the Red Bulls passed on a late offer from Toronto of the No. 13 pick for Magee, choosing instead to honor the deal it already had in place with the Galaxy."
WTF? If you get a better deal for a player, go for it. This isn't charity.
I would have been shocked to see NYRB trade Magee to TFC. why strengthen an opponent for a measly draft pick (who likely won't contribute much in 2009)?
There is minimal difference between the 13th pick of the 1st round and a high 2nd round pick. Remember where NYRB picked up Jozy? oh yeah…2nd round of the draft.
NYRB fans need to chill.
Yo, Ives I live in St. Louis, what hotel is the draft taking place? It'd be cool if I could come down there buy you a beer, and tell you how much I hate Guiseppe Rossi.
mEtRo bOy TilL Da dAy i DiE!
i dont really mind the magee trade that much;..we saved about 80 k and also wat does magee really do for us.??he has like 1 good game a year! i'll rather take his 80 grand and put it somewhere where it belongs..and not for nothiing we should at some coaches that can really help richards and whoever is playin LM because with kandji and hopefulyy angel up front we can win a lot of croses..only IFFFFFF someone teaches richards how to cross!! VDB wouldnt been perfect this year!
HIncha Tim
Hey Ives,
Reports are that Kovalenko is going to LA for a draft pick and allocation money. Any more info on what draft pick and how much money?
I think its a good move. Kovalenko's salary ($200k)was just too much for a non-core player. Hopefully, RSL will use some of the money to give Wingert a raise from his $65K salary.
They are now thin at the DMid position after releasing Cutler, trading Kovalenko and losing Sturgis to Seattle. They only have Beckerman (and I guess Robbie Russell could play there).
How can LA afford Kovalenko's salary?

Cute isn't she?
I signed up to take part in Tracy's Send a little love swap & was partnered up with Joy
If you click on the link you will see what else I sent to Joy.
The mouse pattern came from Say!Little hen & I thought it was a lovely little make to send.
I used Rowan handknit cotton & some Liberty fabric for the heart & ears.
I'm going to make another one as a baby gift along with a crochet blanket for my ex sister in law who is having her first baby this year.
Unfortunately as she is an ex I wont be an aunt but as she is having a pink one & I really like her I will be making something nice & buying something too!
I might be brave & try a ripple blanket!
I haven't uploaded photos of the gifts Joy sent to me yet but they don't contain a photo of the chocolate lollipop she sent me. I was a greedy old trout & popped it in my mouth as I unwrapped my gifts!!

Smile of a Child
Poem by: murtuza
Status: Finished
Genre: Editorial and Opinion
It's the smile of a child,
The most precious you can find
You can't make it,
You cant fake it,
It's the innocent
Smile of a child.
You grow with time,
You grow tall and strong;
The more you grow, you feel,
There is something wrong;
The child in you, dies away
And takes smile along.
Don't take the smile away,
Don't let the child die
Once the child dies in you,
It's all dusty and dry.
Once lost you can't find it,
It's the smile of a child

So true! I'm only sixteen, but I can feel myself growing up faster than I'd like! Keep writing!
P.S. Check out my newest story - Whatever Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger - and comment please! Constructive criticism is always appreciated!
Cute story, and very true.
But I smile alot, :)
The best and most meaningful messages are conveyed,in the most easiest and simplest way...Liked it :)
That is so true!:) I love it its absolutely great!!!:D
so true keep the child inside you alive no matter how old you can be :) ... really good
I think this is an excellent poem... I think that it is very cute... but I do think that it is possible to find your kid again even if you have lost it :) BUT I think that this is an amazing poem... great job :)
Kids grow up faster than they should. They need to learn to enjoy their youth
Nice poem indeed :). keep it up. Don't let the poet die
oh wow, so down to earh great!!!love it , love it. This surely touched my heart, WONDERFULLY TOLD, BRIGHT AS A GEM!!
That was really good, it practically "sings" to the readers. It also contains a lot of truth and the sentiment is wonderful.
Okay, now unlike a lot of others here who will just heap praise on you or leave generic comments such as "good job", I will actually point out typos (when I have the time, that is) and things which I think can use some improvement, especially if English is not your primary language.
1) You need to replace "its" (possessive) with "it's" (it is) in a few places.
2)The third part of the poem comes off as a bit choppy. Here is an example of a way to remedy this; of course, you don't have to use it if you don't want to.
You grow with time,
You grow tall and strong;
The more you grow, you feel,
There is something wrong;
The child in you dies away
And takes the smile along.
Well, I enjoyed the read. I hope I have been of some help to you. Take care. Oh, and thanks for the fan request.
Wow what a topic to write on......well expressed innocent emotions, if you will work on balancing and rhyming it will be perfect !! enjoyed reading it, keep writting...........:)

Emerald looks at them. Sitting on their branch high up in a tree. Unfortunately she can not help. The forest is silent and so she must remain the same unless discovered of corse. She wants them to see her. But of corse being a wood nymph she blends in well. She looks only about 17 years old but shes way older. Her skin is pale while her eyes and hair are a pale green and her teeth sharp. She's also wearing a green top and trouser made from leaves. Pretty well if she'd say so herself.
She sighs and slides off the branch to the forest floor. Even if they did spot her they wouldn't know what she was. Elves were quite oblivious to her kind, blind as well. They could only see her if they look directly into her eyes. Which gave her one chance in a billion of being seen.
She skips away trying to listen for any word from the forest. She goes over and presses her ear to a tree but no voice rises from it.
Why is the forest quiet? She doesn't like having to stay quiet. Most of her kind are far away. She's the only one that lives in this part of the forest. Then she sees it ahead. The mist of loss and she runs with all my might away from it. She hides herself in a tree and watches it pass, heading towards the elven land.


text: We've heard a lot lately about Apple and its "walled garden" approach to its computer platforms. When you think about this approach, however, this is the same thing that Microsoft has been doing for years. While they do not have hardware specifications set in stone like Apple, the ability to run applications is based on some set rules in a closed source platform. While Linux and its many open source variations have been around for years attempting to change this ideal, they have not been successful in terms of wide spread adoption. Enter Google. During a talk at Google Atmosphere , the idea of the "walled garden" approach comes into play because before search became so ubiquitous, we didn't worry so much about whether something was closed- or open-sourced. Now that we use the internet for a wider variety of things that are integral to our lives, taking a different approach to this is clearly Google's strategy: By the way, Google Atmosphere was a cloud computing event held earlier this week. So with that in mind, there is still this fact that Google wants to open up all these data sources to make infrastructure easier for us, they are going to need to effectively control hardware in order to get the right amount of performance. Schmidt details the fact that they don't want to build Chrome OS or Android machines themselves, they simply want to have the correct software platform the can enable better collaboration. Instead of it just being Google creating these collaboration tools, they will open up the market to create them as well. Two examples of that right now are the Android Market and Google Apps Store for enterprise. Interestingly, with thin clients that are connected to the cloud it's possible that the distinction between these two could begin to blur since you could theoretically have different profiles for separate purposes. If you've got a spare forty minutes, check out the clip above. Schmidt talks about trying to create a new platform, about creating a new industry model. It's been pretty exciting to monitor all of this because we just don't know what's going to happen quite yet. Information keeps coming out bit by bit and the overall potential of where we are going is simply immense.

The Poggle Stories - Book 1
I know you're probably tired of seeing 'Introduction' pages when really you just want to get on with the story, but I need to explain the history behind the Poggles.
When I was little, my dad used to tell me these elaborate bedtime stories about strange creatures called 'Poggles'. We used to have episode after episode, even though, a few weeks after one episode, we'd never be able to remember the characters' names.
I've always said he should write them down, but neither of us ever did. Finally, they're here: here to be shared with the rest of the world. I've had to use my imagination several times, because to be honest, I can't remember the storylines either.
These are stories for children. But I think you'll enjoy them too. We're all young at heart, even when our hair is grey and wrinkles take over the skin on our face.
Just remember that once, you were a little girl kneeling eagerly on her bed as her father told her stories that dragged on for hours and hours, until he at last fell asleep and carried on talking.
(This once led to a notable incident when he continued to speak, and told me, "Then they went to the aluminium yard." I, being seven, said, "What's that?" He woke up, with no recollection of the event. It's become a family legend.)

This question pertains to a civil servant job within a City. If the rules and regulations state just cause for termination is conviction of a felony or misdemeanor but the person was never convicted, in fact the case was nolle prossed can that per...
Civil Service employees are generally not employed "at will," meaning that unlike in the private sector, such employees can only be terminated for specific, defined events, which are usually included in the definition of "cause." If "cause" in this case is limited to only a conviction, then I wouldn't think that a "nolle pros," by itself (which is a dismissal of the charges), would be a sufficient basis for a termination. Look closely at the language defining "cause."See question
I am paid base plus commission and they claim to hold up to 6 months. If the contracted service has been executed or paid, can they still withhold? Can they also refuse to pay for any reason beyond a contract cancellation?
In Florida, if an employer fails to pay commissions to an employee, that employee may sue the employer and if he wins, the employee not only get awarded the commission he was owed, but the employer also has to reimburse the employee for all of his attorney's fees. Generally, an employer is required to remit earned commissions to an employee within a reasonable time, consistent with the employer's regular business practice. Six months seems like an unreasonable amount of time. Sometimes an employer will have a practice of holding commissions for a particular period of time, pending certain defined events (such as a sales commission that's earned and then adjusted thereafter as the result of warranty claims by the customer). Bottom line -- the employer's right to withhold the commission depends upon the reason for the withholding. In your situation, the employer would have to have a very good reasons to withhold payment of commisisons for such a long time.See question

When the Philadelphia Union surrendered two early goals to mighty Real Madrid on Saturday night, the MLS Eastern Conference leaders looked like a team destined to be the latest MLS team blown away by a European powerhouse.
Rather than crumble, the Union shook off the poor start and gave Real Madrid the toughest test the Spanish giants have faced to date during the World Football Challenge. Rookie Michael Farfan scored a beautiful late goal and Roger Torres and Jack McInerney came close to finding equalizers before time ran out, leaving Real Madrid with a 2-1 victory at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
Just three days removed from beating English club Everton in a friendly, 1-0, Philadelphia trotted out a stronger squad against a Real Madrid side playing its third match in seven days, but that didn't stop the Spanish giants from dominating early. Madrid's passing troubled the Union, but Philadelphia ultimately settled down and stood toe-to-toe with a team that battered the Los Angeles Galaxy, 4-0, just a week ago.
Sheanon Williams and Carlos Valdes, two of the best defenders in MLS this season, committed early errors to help Real Madrid's reserve-filled starting lineup jump out to a 2-0 lead as Jose Maria Cajellon opened the scoring and Mesut Ozil took a Karim Benzema pass for his own goal.
The quick two-goal lead threatened to grow larger as Real Madrid continued to dominate, but Philadelphia eventually settled down and kept the score 2-0 into the second half, where the Union began to take the game to their opponent.
The Union finally broke through in the 80th minute when Michael Farfan chipped Real Madrid goalkeeper Tomas Mejias. Roger Torres nearly buried an equalizer, blasting a long-range shot that skipped off the crossbar.
Mejias preserved the Real Madrid victory with a diving save of a late McInerney shot.
Here are the match highlights.
What did you think of the match? Impressed with Philadelphia? Surprised Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score?
Share your thoughts.
Couple early miscues while the boys worked out the jitters. From then on the U played well. Really proud of their efforts. Amazed at the young talent on this squad. Novak has built this team for the future.
Good on them, but no MLS team should be playing two friendlies so close together in the middle of the season. Eyes on the prize and all that.
If all the teams are playing these friendlies around the same time against the most popular teams in the world who is it hurting? I agree its not good for the MLS teams to play so many games in a short span but if all the teams are doing it everyone is at the same disadvantage.
Impressive performance by the Union tonight, aside from the two early defensive lapses and some missed opportunities in the first half (Ruiz, etc.).
They played plenty of bench players and still managed to remain competitive, imagine that! Lots of young talent on teams like the Union and DC United. Meanwhile the Red Bulls are not even 11 deep….
Mario in QT
That was an entertaining game. The Union gave Real all it could handle what with the heat and their preseason form. A 2-2 scoreline would have been more reflective of the game.
I think these games do more good then harm in that our reserves get a chance to play against world class competition. Think of all the good these 2 games (Everton/RM) have done to the confidence of Torres, Mwanga, McInerney, Mclaughlin, Richter, Pfeffer and others. When LA put in the reserves against RM they got blown out. Union puts in reserves and they win and almost tie games. Great day in Philly…GO UNION
The second 45 minutes in both the Madrid and everton games was mostly Philly reserve and academy players. The kids didn't look starstruck at all.
The Union rep'in MLS very well.
I have watched all of these exhibition games, and they all work the same way…somewhat competitive first half when the full strength side is on the field and total destruction in the second when the reserves come in. Last night, though, was different. The Union's reserves did well. If this was an indication of what is to come for the Union, I believe they will be a powerhouse in the league for years to come. Plentiful, young to mid age(22-29), cheap good players..it's the way you win in the MLS. Kudos to Nowak, he knows how to build a winning club in the MLS.
John Shields
I'd normally agree, but it's all-star week, and we only have one going. Everyone else gets rest.
Plus you gotta do what you can to get the brand out there. There's not better way than playing well against the best teams in the world.
I understand they don't play full squads, and it's still preseason, but the audiences they're trying to pull in aren't as aware.
All in all, a good few days.
Mwanga looked like a stud, hopefully he will continue to develop because he has talent.
Second City
I think we define "all" differently, when you're referring to:
"all the teams are playing these friendlies around the same time against the most popular teams in the world, who is it hurting?"
That's just it, not "all" teams are. So, you're simply proving the point of the other side of the argument.
Esteban de la Sexface
Mwanga IS a stud which is why it's bonkers that he isn't playing more. The folks who sit near me at PPL Park all agree and we all shake our heads in disbelief each time Mwanga walks out with the guys on the bench and not with the starting 11.
From what I've seen so far this season, he's one of the best 10 (or 5?) forwards in the league. My only hope is that Nowak is saving him for the second half/playoffs.
Great game, great effort by the Union.
"… the MLS Eastern Conference leaders looked like a team destined to be the latest MLS team blown away by a European powerhouse…"
To the surprise of many none of the MLS sides first elevens have been blown out. They only play one half, and have done a very good job. It is only the reserves that have been blown away. Congrats to the Union and other teams for some very good efforts.
Agree, all the MLS sides first 11's played well. The Union took it up a notch.
The Union should be proud of the way they played one of the top teams in the world, especially in the second half. They had several scorring chances that could easily have tied the game, even in the first half. Mwanga is the real thing, but don't overlook Jack McInerney. He's still very young, but plays with great skill and attitude. He'll be a starter before long.
I was extremely impressed with the way the Union played… only saw the second half, but the young reserve players seem to exhibit a level of ball control skills lacking in American soccer.
Both Farfan brothers had moments of excellence… obviously the goal for Michael, but watching Gabriel shut down Kaka a couple of times was impressive too.
The best thing about all the young players, though, is how many are USMNT eligible!
dan c
Mwanga is a stud, but if you watch him closely, he can't manage himself for 90 minutes. When he starts he is less effective (1 goal) then when he comes on as a sub (4 goals). I'd love to see him going 90, but at the moment Nowak is correct in his deployment of him. As he matures i'm sure he will learn how to manage his body for a full 90. I moan and groan at times in PPL as well, but the longer this team is here, the clearer it is that Nowak knows his stuff!
Fair enough, John. Wasn't thinking about just how light the Philly schedule is right now.
Without doing a lot of research what teams didnt play any a non MLS team?
Jose Maria Callejon looks really good. I just feel like he will never break into the side because of their big spending ways. I still regret Chelsea missing out on Mesut Ozil.
A lot of teams missed out on Ozil, United included. He's so good Kaka' has a difficult time getting minutes.

A man has died after being crushed by a malfunctioning lift at a luxury apartment block in New York.
The 37-year-old victim was killed in the early hours of this morning in the accident at the 156 Hope Street block.
Police are investigating after the tragedy in Williamsburg, the New York Post reported.
Detectives do not believe the man lived in the Espoir Luxury Rentals block, which features a billiards room, gym and a rooftop terrace.
A one-bedroom flat in the block costs more than $3000 per month to rent.
