AAwkid's steps were thoughtfully placed but he had no obvious plan. His clay arm was useless to him and his opponent sensed his hesitation to strike first. Du'gar's cloudy eyes blinked twice before his gullet expanded with a gurgling croak. The air was uncomfortably thick as Balamor took a chattering breath. Du'gar leaped forward and slashed at Awkid with his rusty curved blades. But Awkids steps were clearly calculated and took the frog prince by surprise. A second and third attempt failed and the famed warrior's eyes twitched. His slimy mouth puckered in frustration with each sly maneuver Awkid made. The dwarf glanced back as he moved closer to the edge of the murky pond.
The old battleaxe was only feet away with its cloth bound hilt sticking out of the water. The gripping tension was suddenly broken when a distant yell resonated through the quiet swamp, but the words were smothered by the fog. Du'gar diverted his attention toward the noise when Awkid quickly made a dash for his weapon. The water thrashed as the dwarf clutched the war torn hilt of the axe with his wrapped hand and lunged it towards Du'gar. Balamor heard the blade part the thick air before it ended in an abrupt pop. The old axe collided with the ground and broke apart. Dark blood spewed across the ground from Du'gar's right arm, beneath him his webbed hand — now departed clean from the wrist — twitched with the crescent blade in its grasp.
A split second of silence was followed by a tremendous roar. Du'gar slashed wildly at Awkid with his remaining blade but Awkid parried the heavy strikes with the broken handle of his axe. Wood fragments chipped away revealing a fresh red layer of oak beneath. The mad frog man battled back and forth with the cursed dwarf. His exposed wrist gushed tar like blood across the swamp as he hacked through dead brush with each failed attempt. The fight tired Awkid's legs and turned his clever footwork into a breathless stagger. He stumbled by the blind prince and out of the littered water, his lungs fed the fiery pit within his chest. He fell to his knee and shrieked in pain as Du'gar twisted his slimy figure to face the dwarf and walked towards him The black scab that formed over his wrist started to bulge and crack apart. A nascent hand slowly broke through, trembling and covered in a thick iridescent slime — it's pale skin began to harden. After three earth shaking strides Awkid's exhausted body stood up and held the whittled axe handle in front of him.
Du'gar quickly slashed the weapon from the dwarf's weary grip and lifted him from the ground. His lips curled into a disgusting grin as he flipped his blade slyly in his left hand. Rage ran through his eyes and into his vile words.
"It would leave a bad taste in my mouth." He said before jabbing the crescent blade through Awkid's stomach.
Balamor couldn't speak, he wanted to scream but the fear in his gut pushed him deeper into the swamp. He took several shaken steps back before crouching up against the foot of a twisted tree where a patch of the strange glowing mushrooms shined. He watched Awkid's mouth gape with blood, each slight effort for breath was a gurgling struggle. Even from far he could see disdain in Awkid's eyes. Du'gar snickered before tossing the limp body of his opponent into the water. A large splash consumed the dwarf and the strength that defined his character vanquished. Balamor's eyes began to well up as he fought with himself over what he felt was now naive aspirations. The closer he was to his destination the worse the toll it took on his mind, and now on the lives of others. Hobbits, they're not meant for this world, not for this type of burden. He couldn't think of anything else. Awkid couldn't win, not without that crazy old man, whoever he was. It didn't matter. There was no chance he would amount to someone like that man. All he could muster was cowardice and far-fetched imaginations.

Vikings head coach Mike Tice took the podium for another Monday press conference and sounded more like a depressed coach than a coach whose team just made the playoffs.
If what Tice said last week is true — the line about not mattering how they get into the playoffs as long as they get in — he didn't sound that way after another road loss that finished the regular season at .500. Even with an 8-8 record, the Vikings are in the playoffs and will travel to Green Bay for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff Sunday.
"It's hard to find any joy in Muddville," Tice said. "We certainly feel better than we did last year coming home from Arizona."
Last year, the Vikings missed the playoffs after a last-second loss in Arizona ended their season at 9-7.
But their injury situation isn't good on defense this week.
Safety Corey Chavous has a broken bone in his elbow, and while he is being reported as out, Tice didn't sound so sure. Chavous will have more tests today and is among three players Tice dubbed "questionable at best" — but not yet out.
Cornerback Terrance Shaw suffered a rib injury in Washington and is also questionable for Sunday's wild-card playoff game.
Wide receiver Kelly Campbell, who suffered a shoulder injury, is the third "questionable at best" casualty from yesterday's game.
With Chavous not likely to play, the plan is for third-year player Willie Offord to start at safety and move recently re-signed cornerback Rushen Jones to backup safety.
The Vikings expect Antoine Winfield to start again and hope his ankle continues to improve, and they may get additional help if cornerback Ralph Brown, who missed the last three games with an eye injury, can return to the field, probably as a nickel back if Shaw can't go.
But even without his injuries on defense, Tice has to find a way to instill confidence in his players. Right now, they simply don't have it and Tice knows it.
"The fear of failure is a bad thing," Tice said. "I think many coaches go to their graves trying to figure that out, and I think I'll be the next one."
Tice: 'No Joy In Mudville'

It was dark. A gentle, soothing dark, a lulling dark. The skies were silk, satin even. A deep violet satin, fit with small shimmering moth holes dappling it betwixt the seams. It rippled and creased with the night winds, caressing the moon and nestling its star dusted serenity within folds of dusk. The breezes feverishly washed over the twilit dunes with a drunken glaze, sending drifting waves of sand and warmth across the cyan desert scene.
Dead center of the midnight canvas stood an oasis, a lush green sprout of opulent flora untouched by the dusty expanse. Towering palm trees gave shade from the Cimmerian black, the leaves interlocking in a verdant mesh; moonshine piercing through like needles and streaking across the pristine sluice bubbling from the roots of the topiary sentinels overhead. From the leaves hung an overturned terrarium, vines and blossoms shyly blooming as they stretched to meet the surface of the water. Ripples amplified and reverberated outward as tendrils of ivy licked the mirrored surface below.

Big Data is one of the most potentially dangerous and destructive new technologies to come about in the last century. While a new fighter jet or a new type of bomb can certainly wreck havoc, big data has the potential to insidiously undermine and subtly (and not-so subtly) change almost every aspect of modern life.
As you may know, I'm an advocate for big data; it's my business and my passion. But I'm also an advocate for understanding the risks associated with it and taking the appropriate measures to counteract them.
I see the major risks of big data as follows.
1. It will challenge how businesses are run and the business models that will help them succeed. This is both good and bad. For some businesses, this underlying change will signal huge opportunity and trigger massive growth. For others who cannot adapt and change with the times, it will signal the beginning of the end. I predict we will see many more instances of upstart companies coming in and changing the entire dynamic of a particular field or market, the way Netflix disrupted video rentals and Uber has disrupted taxi service. Established "old school" businesses should wake up and take note. And these sorts of disruptions could have major potential economic implications.
2. Everything can be tracked and analysed. When I say everything, I mean everything. We have only scratched the surface of the data it is possible to collect about our lives, our businesses, our environment, our behaviours. I've written about some of the cool and frightening aspects of the Internet of Things, which will drive the big data generation going forward. And while it's great for a company to know exactly what's happening with its stock and products, where does it cross the line when they want to know everything about what their employees and customers are doing as well? Is it OK to track information about your children? Your health? Your buying habits? Your social interactions? And if it is permissable to track that information, under what circumstances? And who gets to access it? Who owns it? All these questions remain largely unanswered while the technology pushes ever forward.
3. Privacy problems and discrimination become rampant. Since everything about us can be tracked, it can also be used for nefarious purposes. Privacy law has not kept up with the technology and the types of data being collected. Who owns the data that is collected about you — you, or the company that collects it? The answer will determine how that data can be shared and used, whether it's about your buying habits online or more private maters.

CP's Norfolk bid riles U.S. railroads, ups merger chances
By Nick Carey
CHICAGO Jan 19 (Reuters) - A legal protest by Canadian Pacific over a meeting among big U.S. railroads about mergers in their industry has highlighted maneuvering in the sector to cope with a rapid downturn and possible consolidation.
Canadian Pacific Railway on Tuesday asked the U.S. Justice Department to look into statements by U.S. railroads, in the wake of the meeting, about "working closely with each other to block" its bid for Norfolk Southern Corp.
The U.S. railroads met late last year in the presence of lawyers, saying they merely discussed a merger's impact on the industry. Interviews with U.S. railroad executives show some oppose mergers, others tout possible benefits.
Tuesday's flap, where Canadian Pacific accused U.S. railroads of adopting an "anticompetitive" strategy, shed light on chances for further consolidation, with eyes on No. 3 U.S. railroad CSX Corp as a future target.
"If Canadian Pacific's bid for Norfolk Southern goes ahead, then CSX will be the next domino to fall," said Scott Rostan, who worked on the Merrill Lynch team advising Norfolk Southern during its battle with CSX in the 1990s for control of Conrail, which was ultimately carved up between them.
Canadian Pacific in mid-November disclosed its $28 billion offer to buy Norfolk Southern.
The bid coincides with a "freight recession" as falling commodity prices hurt North America's railroads. On Tuesday Moody's Investors Service warned of "increasing risks of an industrial recession" for North American manufacturers. Canadian Pacific, like the broader Canadian economy, is fairly reliant on commodity exports.
Some analysts see its Norfolk Southern offer as an opportunistic bid for a growth story while rail stocks are down. Continued...

|Reviews for Aura Of Death
| Special Agent Stace chapter 1 . 7/31/2009
So I decided to go look at all your NCIS fics- and I remember this one as well. Your words have stuck with me for years which is something like insanity, but I guess I'm just drawn to them. Because you don't tiptoe around shit like death, and I really appreciate it. Well done.
| snicki16yahoo.com chapter 1 . 12/31/2008
interesting, I love it.
| IAmAngelmouse chapter 1 . 11/27/2008
Erm, wow. I really liked that, so well written and amazing, drawing you in
| Jaina Solo2 chapter 1 . 3/6/2008
Aw, poor Abbs.
| Amazon Penny chapter 1 . 1/7/2008
this story has a really heavy feel to it. A good heavy. I like it.
| Wiccagirl24 chapter 1 . 10/11/2006
I've read this before, but I apparently didn't leave a review. Bad Wicca.
This is a wonderful haunting story.
This line "She's only his concern as long as she's alive and as Abby walks outside into the chilling cold, she's honestly not sure what she is." is deep and powerful and amazing.

Hey...Well, I do think that Gibbs cares more about Abby than that. I personally am a fan of them as lovers, but even if I wasn't, there's more there than just "Well, if she's alive, I guess I'll be concerned." Sorry... It's well-written and everything, trust me, but that last little bit didn't sit too well with me.

Nah, he is going to the kickoff luncheon on Thurday at the Bach Fieldhouse. I am going to the one on Friday in downtown Denver. Would like to go to the Thursday one, but want to take my f-i-l, as he has not gone to one before, and will not be up until Firday morning. Then him and I are going to the game on Sat. Then him and I will come home and watch the Buffs decimate the lambs on Tivo Sat night.:smile2:

All recipes and meals are made with organic, real food and/or NON-GMO products.
Tasty Chicken with Rice and Veggies
Tasty Chicken Ingredients:
~ organic chicken breasts with the skin
~ organic seasoning of your choice (mix all the seasoning in a bowl)
~ organic olive oil (for the cast iron skillet only)
~ rub the seasoning all over the chicken, including under the skin – this makes the chicken less greasy and keeps the seasoning stuck to the chicken
~ oil the cast iron skillet, place the chicken in it, then cover
~ bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or longer
~ remove the chicken and slice into strips and serve
PAIR WITH brown rice and veggies… I chose green beans, leeks, peppers, and onions…so it was super tasty.
AJ loved it, despite the "whatever" face. He said "This is the best chicken he ever had. It's really tasty." Which is where I got the phrase-tasty chicken.
Yes, buying organic/NON-GMO is expensive. Until there is a big change in food production and what consumers buy, healthy choices will always be more expensive. If you want to start small with organic…here are some great tips.

Actors shine in Venice film based on Scientology
By Silvia Aloisi and Mike Collett-White
VENICE (Reuters) - Philip Seymour Hoffman shines as a cult leader in "The Master", a compelling new film inspired by the real life of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard about how power and faith can corrupt.
The movie, from "There Will Be Blood" director Paul Thomas Anderson, has its world premiere at the Venice film festival on Saturday and with the Weinstein Company behind it as U.S. distributor, Oscar nominations look like a decent bet.
It was labeled "controversial" months before release mainly because of parallels with Scientology, a self-described religion followed by some of Hollywood's biggest names that has a reputation for carefully guarding its image.
Its detractors describe the movement as a cult, which they say harasses people who seek to quit, although the movement rejects the criticism.
Anderson confirmed that Hoffman's character Lancaster Dodd, a charismatic, charming and controlling man who leads a faith named "The Cause", was based on Hubbard, who died in 1986.
"It's a character that I created based on L. Ron Hubbard. There are a lot of similarities with the early days of Dianetics," he told reporters after a press screening, referring to the self-help system that Hubbard developed into Scientology.
"I don't really know a whole lot about Scientology, particularly now, but I do know a lot about the beginning of that movement and it inspired me to use it as a backdrop for these characters."
He added that he had shown the film to Tom Cruise, a follower of Scientology who starred in Anderson's 1999 drama "Magnolia". Continued...

Jensen out for another month
It has been announced that Burnley goalkeeper Brian Jensen will be out for another month with his groin injury after visiting a specialist.
Last Updated: 08/12/11 5:12pm
It has been announced that Burnley goalkeeper Brian Jensen will be out for another month with his groin injury.
The Danish shot-stopper has been sidelined since September but he is hoping to be back next month after visiting a specialist.
Clarets boss Eddie Howe believes it will be at least a month until Jensen recovers and he hopes that the ex-West Brom player can recuperate as soon as possible.
"Brian had an injection in his groin which will put him back four to six weeks but hopefully that will get to the heart of the problem and he will be back with us," said Howe to the club's official website.
"It's been a nasty one for him. He had got to the stage where he could do everything bar the long kicking.
"He just felt little twinges in his groin and we felt we had to get it seen to so he's been to see the specialist and hopefully that's sorted it."

Hide underneath a nearby Volkswagen.
Sliding under the car you feel certain you are now safe. Safe and warm, for the car must have been parked but moments ago and so is still warm, soothing almost.
The asphalt beneath the car is also warm as if heated from below - It seems odd, but not unpleasent and you find yourself oddly at peace. It feels good here as if you have come home and you start to wonder if perhaps you should stay, make a new life for yourself. This could be good, this could be just what you need after all the screaming children and that whole muder suicide pact you couldn't go through with momentarily before you started hearing the child scream.
Life could be good here.
Suddenly your dreams are snatched away as the car is lifted and tossed to the side. It's the screaming child again! Wait... it's 17 of them - all clones - and they have paddles!
What now??

The sight of gliders circling underneath a fluffy white cloud is common near Dunstable Downs in Bedfordshire where the London Gliding Club has its aerodrome. On busy days gliders are launched every few minutes.
Staying aloft without an engine involves finding thermals, rising warm air to lift the glider. A wisp of fine weather cloud forming is the best clue. On one day last week six gliders were gently circling beneath one small white blob.
A glider pilot must understand clouds and their formation, and, where there are no clouds at all, spot areas on the ground like towns where heat from the sun will cause hot air to rise.
Having mastered the art of staying afloat pilots can go for endurance and distance badges – five hours afloat and 300 kilometres distance are required for a gold badge. To the laymen the trickiest bit seems to be the height requirement – 3,000 metres for a gold and 5,000 for a diamond.
Gliders steer clear of actually entering a cloud because of the risk of collision, and it is banned within five miles of a launch area and at all, unless you are wearing a parachute. But the bigger the cloud the bigger the lift and in going for gold there is a temptation to enter a thunder cloud, cumulonimbus.
Peter Scott, the naturalist, and later British Gliding Champion, recalled doing this in July 1957, rising so high he iced up and was hit by hail before escaping. He got his gold badge but admitted being "seriously worried" in the process.

North Korean officials detained Tony Kim, an academic who also goes by his Korean name Kim Sang-duk, as he was trying to leave the country from Pyongyang's international airport on Saturday, Park Chan-mo, chancellor of the Pyongyang University of Science and Technology, told the Associated Press.
Park said Kim, who is 58, taught accounting at the university for about a month. The reason for his detention was unclear.

With the 2012 MLS Draft now less than a month away, I have unveiled my first Fox Soccer 2012 MLS Mock Draft in an attempt to give people a sense of how things just might shake out when teams start making their selections in Kansas City four weeks from now.
My first Fox Soccer MLS Mock Draft didn't have many surprises, though I did leave in all the top draft prospects, including players who could very well still bolt to Europe. Players like Darren Mattocks, the best bet to pass on MLS and head overseas, as well as Kelyn Rowe, who is in position to make a move to Europe as well. As players sign with MLS, or pass on MLS, the draft board and subsequent mock drafts will be adjusted accordingly.
The first mock draft should look different from what the final mock will ultimately look like in the day or two before the January 12th MLS Draft, but what the initial mock draft should do is provide you with a sense of just where players are being valued by MLS scouts at the moment. Those valuations will change and adjust as we draw closer to the draft, particularly after teams get a closer look at the draft's best prospects in next month's MLS Combine. The Combine isn't the only tool teams use to rank players, but a great combine showing, or a shaky one, can definitely impact draft value.
Here are some more thoughts on the Mock Draft, the potential draft pool, as well as a look at the Generation adidas class as it projects at the moment:
What you will notice about the mock draft is the abundance of attacking midfielders in the first round. This is unique for an MLS draft because the reality is MLS teams haven't really tapped the college player pool for playmakers with any real frequency. This year's draft pool is different though, with Kelyn Rowe, Enzo Martinez, Nick DeLeon and Luis Silva all being top quality midfield prospects. The fact that more teams are focused on playing possession soccer should bode well for this group as well.
DeLeon and Silva are among the top seniors MLS is already working hard to sign to pre-draft guaranteed deals. That select group also includes UNC centerback Matt Hedges (pictured above), UConn winger Tony Cascio and Louisville striker Colin Rolfe. The group of senior MLS targets hasn't changed much, and at the moment, I haven't been notified if any official signings as of yet, though it appears the senior group has less of the "European clubs are sniffing around" element going on as the Generation adidas standouts.
So what's the next strongest position in the 2012 draft after attacking midfielder? While it could wind up being forward if Mattocks, Billy Schuler, Chandler Hoffman and either Dom Dwyer, David Opoku or Sam Garza wind up signing, a good position to find value at in this draft is right back, where there are several intriguing prospects. Mykell Bates, Aubrey Perry and R.J. Allen are all highly regarded, and a right back I think has great potential, West Virginia's Raymon Gaddis, didn't even make the MLS Combine roster.
The Generation adidas class is far from a finished product, and with top targets like Mattocks and Rowe potentially heading to Europe, we could see a serious shake-up. For one thing, if a player like Mattocks leaves, it could actually free up the money for two players to be added to the class. There is also the almost annual occurrence of late inclusions. We are always good for at least one last-minute addition, like Michael Tetteh last year, so you always have to be ready for a surprise.
As things stand now, here is how the Generation adidas targets stack up based on my conversations with people with knowledge of the selection process (UPDATED-includes which players have been offered GA contracts already, including Sam Garza, the first to accept a GA offer):
- Andrew Wenger…………..Offered
- Darren Mattocks………….Offered
- Kelyn Rowe……………….Offered
- Billy Schuler………………Offered
- Enzo Martinez…………….Offered
- Chandler Hoffman………..Offered
- Sam Garza………………..ACCEPTED
- Dom Dwyer……………….Not Offered
- Brian Span………………..Not Offered
- Dillon Powers…………….Not Offered
- Andrew Jean-Baptiste……Not Offered
- David Opoku……………..Not Offered
You may notice this list already varies from my mock draft's projected GA class, with Jean-Baptiste dropping. The word I'm getting is that Jean-Baptiste and Opoku have seen their stock drop a bit. If you consider that the GA class should be 6-8 players, both could miss out. That would be a shame, particularly in the case of Opoku, a raw forward who for my money has more upside than most of the other players in the GA prospect pool. I am not nearly as sold on Jean-Baptiste, who for me is still too much of a liability with the ball at his feet. That isn't stopping prospect from falling in love with his size and athleticism.
Of the very top prospects, it's safe to say that Wenger will sign with MLS. He hasn't officially yet, but I would consider it a miracle if he didn't wind up signing as the top Generation adidas target. The rest of the top prospects aren't as sure bets. Mattocks, Rowe and Schuler all have European clubs expressing interest, and other prospects such as Opoku and Garza could find opportunities abroad as well, with Mexican clubs already expressing interest in Garza.
There are other GA candidate players who have been mentioned in the past, such as West Virginia's Eric Schoenle, SMU's Robbie Derschang, Creighton's Tyler Polak and Maryland's Taylor Kemp, but as things stand right now, it would be a serious long shot if any of those players made the final GA cut. That isn't stopping players from preparing to leave school though. Sources tell me Polak, one of the best left back prospects in the nation, is preparing to leave Creighton. If that is true, just what his next move will be remains a mystery. We could see a situation where a player like Polak winds up signing with MLS after the draft and being allocated via a draft (like David Bingham and Soony Saad). This doesn't mean that will happen specificially with Polak (who could also transfer schools), but if MLS changes its tune on a player, or finds serious interest post-draft in a prospect, we could see another lottery.
What do you think of the latest MLS draft developments? Which players are you hoping your team can land in the draft? Which prospects are sparking the most interest in your mind?
Share your thoughts below.
why would Polak switch schools??? Creightons a powerhouse and he can use Bolowich's connections across the pond. Cmon Ives
(SBI-I'm not saying he will. I'm saying he COULD. As in that is an option. If Ben Speas can leave Akron to go to UNC there's no reason Tyler Polak couldn't switch schools as well. All that said, I'd bet on him being a pro a few months from now.)
Nice article. I hope MLS can sign most of these guys.
Edwin in LA
I've never really heard of Creighton as a power house?
Not of recent times at least?
If he were to move to a school like Maryland, or Wake Forest, UCLA, even UNC and a place even like Akron or Santa Clara who have had recent runs of success then I could see it? It all depends on how they do in retaining players and what the new incoming freshman class like. Akron is a good example not for him to transfer to but how they might be much better after a transition year in which they were coming back with like 6 players lost to the draft
Interesting thing will be what international players will take part in the draft like Joao Plata at TFC?
The smart ones will not sign with MLS and instead will head to Europe, etc.
Ives, I think you are spot on with Andrew Jean-Baptiste. Saw quite a few of his games this year. A lot of fun to watch at the college level, but he might need 2-3 more years of college/NASL to get a little more skill to go with his size.
#6's crane technique is strong, but not as strong as my slightly perturbed cephalopod style.
Creighton has been in top 15 consistently last 7 years, and placed its fair share of players into the pro's (http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2011/12/07/climbing-ladder-college-ranks-mls)
I understand the move to UCLA or Maryland with ELITE programs but Creighton has Bolowich and he has ties around multiple leagues. Also Tyler is from this area. Do not even see him leaving for another school as a possibility.
@SBI – Speas was not getting as much as he deserved behind that great Akron talent. No brainer for him to move. Polak was leading minute man at CU. Only thing working against Polak is he was not playing against top notch competition every week.

I think RSL is looking for a left back more than a right back. They have Tony Beltran locked in at right back, whereas left back is solid but improveable Chris Wingert. RSL needs a left back that has the capability to provide a wide attacking presence (which Wingert doesn't).
Who are the best left back prospects in the draft (including players that might not have played there but could be converted)?
as much as i would advocate going thru MLS before Europe for 90% of US prospects i wouldn't advocate going thru the draft.
Too much randomness, and you could end up in a situation that doesn't fit right (bad coach, team, or no way to playing time). Being able to select your own future is something i would never give up.
David St. Hubbins
Eric Schoenle's stock seems to be dropping… does he stay in school for his senior year?
Ives, why is Schuler considered a GA prospect while Creighton's Greg Jordan is considered a non GA prospect when both are red-shirt juniors?
Seems odd they have a different status.
Also, the whole situation with Tyler Polak shows why MLS needs to open the draft to any underclassmen who want to be in it.
(SBI-Jordan isn't a GA target but as a graduating junior he is eligible to enter the MLS Draft. Schuler would be eligible to enter the draft the same route, but he has the leverage of being a highly-regarded prospect, and can therefore demand a GA contract, which is worth more than a standard senior contract. That is why he's a GA target and Jordan isn't.
As for opening up the draft for all underclassmen. All that would do is lead to having players who aren't ready to be pros declaring and forfeiting eligibility before they are ready. If Polak is good enough, he'll get a GA deal. As it stands, he's not in enough demand to get a GA deal so he should stay in school (or he can try Europe).)
the player needs to have a firm trip on reality…look at how many of our uys have gone overseas after college and haven't been able to do much…..look at the one's who have play some mls first……don't think the college game is stron enough to produce europe quality players….
if your saying that a guy should go to scandinavia instead of mls then i see your point, same experience more money, but even then they sit on the bench for 2 years before anything happens….in mls they MAY have a chance to get games…..
For all those advacating going right to Europe and skipping the MLS please list the players that really made it (as a soccer player) who did what you say they should do. Never mind the fact that they cannot get into what many say is the best league in the world if they haven't played x number of games for their country's national team (the country is England and it's Barcley's permier league). If it wasn't for the MLS and it's continued improved play those who start here and improve enough (the good ones) will get that opportunity that you speak of. For the fun of it also name the players who went to Europe only to flame out as a player (may have made a higher salary but thats it). Nothing personal against him but tell me all about Freddy Adu and how he tore up the European leagues that he played in and he is not alone.
Turgid Jacobian
I disagree with this. If you look at players who have gone through MLS drafts, most don't really make it. I think those who make it in Europe have about the same chances of making it in MLS.
Steve Cherundolo, Oguchi Onyewu, Eric Lichai, Charlie Davies, Alejandro Bedoya, Paul Stalteri, Rob Friend, Olivier Occean, Luis Robles, Eugene Starikov, Reuben Ayarna, Carlos Ochoa, Vedad Ibisevic, Josh Simpson, among others.
Not a lot, but it can be done.
Ives, MLS is holding its combine in early January. Is there a list of the 52 players who have been invited? It is a lot of names and most of us will know only a few by having actually sen them play, still it might be fun to see who people here think should get a serious look and why.
Most of those players stink.
Oh, another MLS hater. Europe sucks.
Kelyn Rowe is not playing in Europe. He'll be lucky to ever see a MLS pitch for a couple of years.
I'd be pretty disappointed if Polak wasn't in the draft, as I've heard good things about him and thought he would be ideal for DC. With him out of the draft, DC's prospects for drafting a possible starter go way down.
Ives, have you hear any rumors of Foss getting a homegrown deal from DC? If Polak isn't available, I could see Olsen going for the talent he knows and then trying to get a forward or midfielder with potential.
The most underating player, George mason university player Ryan Gracia,small player with great skill,great vision of the game very smart player.(YouTube,Ryan Gracia). check it out
i will give you cherundolo and gooch … but the others? child please.
lichaj has done nothing, CD9 came back to MLS, Bedoya is a part time player at Rangers and the Canadians are all mediocre players in the lower leagues of Germany or stuck in Turkey, Starikov? seriously? the constantly on loan to bottom feeder Tom Tomsk?, Ayarna is Ghanaian and still stuck in Scandanavia and Ochoa who is that even?
face it … most American players who go straight to "europe" from college end up slumming the lower leagues of europe forever or coming back to MLS eventually. MLS first isn't a cure all mind you but at least it does seem to have launched some good to solid careers in europe (dempsey, howard, guzan, edu, holden).

Former Youth Congress president and MP Ravneet Singh Bittu has welcomed the appointment of Rahul Gandhi as the vice-president of the Congress party and has termed the move as historic and timely.
He said with his elevation the entire party is now energised. "With his vision, Rahul Gandhi had earlier given an opportunity to me and several thousands of youth to come forward and serve the party, society and the nation," Bittu said.
He added that as India has majority of youth population, the youth of the country will get their due in politics as Rahul has always promoted a mix of youth and experience for the development of the nation.
He expressed hope that with the AICC vice-president taking up more important and bigger responsibility in the party, the youth of the country will certainly get more opportunities not only in politics but also in other areas to serve the nation.

In this edition of the Celebration of Life newsletter, the team at Spirit of Life Midwifery have put together some great topics around the subject of Postpartum Health.
We often act as if we have nothing to learn from the Third World. Yet many of these cultures are doing something extraordinarily right--especially in how they care for new mothers. In their classic paper, Stern and Kruckman (1983) present an anthropological critique of the literature. They found that in the cultures they studied, postpartum disorders, including the "baby blues," were virtually non-existent.
In contrast, 50% to 85% of new mothers in industrialized nations experience the "baby blues," and 15% to 25% (or more) experience postpartum depression. Read along as we try to provide some

Stolen Happiness
For as long as I can remember, I have always lived in fear.
There is no "safe" place in this world.
There are places that temporarily protect you from dangerous things, but there are no real permanent places that will serve as sanctuaries.
That is what we are taught.
It is smart, it is logical and the knowledge itself provides a barrier against the harsh winds of the unknown.
As brown rabbits, we are always told to stay away from the snow. Our brown coats stand out against the white snow, making it easy for predators to pounce on us. And so, running across the white snow is known to bring death.
Of course, no one in our community has actually died from doing this. We have heard from other communities of such deaths, but to us it is foreign.
I envy the white rabbits.
They are free, free to run across the wide, white expanses of snow. Free to feel the cold wind weaving through their fur and to feel the thrill of being able to blend into their background.
What a wonderful feeling that must be.
At first, I only run on the brown flats of the tundra, feeling joyous as I stealthily sprint over rocks and and small shrubbery.
And then, one day, I run straight up to the edge of the end of the frozen tundra grounds, right to where the snow starts.
It burns in me.
The burning desire of freedom.
To leap across the the endless white, to feel the joy of all white rabbits.
I cannot stop myself.
All at once, I am running, leaping, twisting.
Adrenaline pumps through my body, emphasizing my excitement.
For the first time my whole life I feel happy.
I belong here, dancing across the snow.
This is me. This is who I am. The essence of my soul lies in these very actions.
My ecstasy is overflowing, my body too small to hold such energy.
And then, I realize, it is time to go back. Back to the dreary, muddy grounds of home. The excitement drains out of my body. I run back to the tundra grounds, my padded feet barely touching the icy surface of the snow.
I tuck away that part of me, deep inside so no other brown rabbit will find out that the line has been crossed.
That I have broken the boundaries.
Every day, I run to the snow and secretly run across it, around it.
It is what I look forward to when I wake up each day, and what I dream about when I fall asleep.
For the next few months, I have the time of my life.
I am truly happy.
Until one day, I am running across the snow like I usually do. The joy never ends, never lessens. I am so caught up in my own pleasure, I barely hear the soft patter of receding footsteps.
My heart slams against my rib cage as I catch sight of a brown rabbit, pounding away.
He has seen me.
The panic ignites within me, rooting itself in my chest.
I have been caught.
I scamper away, back to my community.
I can feel the disdain. It is palpable.
They punish me for running on the snow. They bite me. Kick me. Scratch me until I bleed. And all because I ran on the snow.
Anger burns in me. Yes, I get they want to protect me from predators. But look! I am safe, no predator has even touched me! And I accept the danger that comes with running across the snow. But, I am willing to trade that with the happiness that strikes me each time I set foot on the snow!
And as I lay there, beaten, bloody and bruised, all I can think is Nothing can stop me from running on the snow. Anything is worth it for that feeling of freedom, happiness, ecstasy. Anything.
A spark of rage sets a fire in me. I simply cannot run across the snow because my fur is brown.
I hate being a brown rabbit.
Now, you probably think I'm crazy for writing about a brown rabbit's life wishes.
In fact, this story is really just an analysis for my story.
I'm a runner. I love to run. It's who I am.
At first, I didn't run in the woods. I was content running on the streets, doing what I love.
Then, one day, I decided to run in the woods by myself. And once you get a taste of something better once, you can't just stop returning.
So, for a whole summer, I ran in these woods, defying the wishes of parents, who did not want me to run alone in the woods for many reasons.
One day I was caught running in these woods by my Dad, who was also running in there too.
As soon as I got home, I was punished for my actions.
No, I was not beaten physically. I was reprehended repeatedly and certain things were taken away from me.
My parents were furious with me for running in the woods, for I could have gotten sexually assaulted.
I understand how my parents want to protect me from such things, but, like the brown rabbit, nothing compares to that feeling of elation. And I know that there are men out there that would harm me, but the feeling I get while running in these woods is indescribable. That is my happy place. Just me, my music and the woods around me.
My gender prevents me from running safely in these woods, for I am a girl. A girl that can be raped.
If I was a boy, I have no doubt in my mind that my parents would allow me to run alone in those woods.
As a girl, or as a brown rabbit, we are taught to live safely, and to stay away from the dangers of sexual assault.
Girls are taught to run away.
And boys?
It is not okay to sexually assault someone. Boys should know this. Boys need to be raised so they don't harm others.
So they don't prevent me from running in the woods.
Not all boys are like this, and I recognize that. Thank you for respecting us.
All I want is to run in those woods again.

For the past several decades, UMNO was fighting for the Malays. Will it change itself to be the fighter for all Malaysians regardless of ethnicity and religion? It's a fact that UMNO has created more racialist than nationalist. This is not good for us since Malaysia is a multiracial nation.
There are numerous of leaders and medias of UMNO that incited racial statements publicly, such incidents more rampant in recent years. I have several examples of UMNO's racism that taken from the nut graph.
*UMNO controlled Utusan Melayu frequently publishing sensitive articles, read here- Melayu jangan jadi bacul, Bangkitlah Melayu, Ketuanan Melayu tercabar - Kaum lain lebih dominan, Persoal pemimpin Melayu tolak DEB, Melayu dikhianati?, Kepentingan pelajar bumiputera diambil kira and much more. Such articles are not reflecting UMNO's sincerity to unite the Malaysians.
*Do you still remember Bukit Bendera UMNO head Ahmad Ismail's statement against the non-Malay in November 2008? He insisted that all non-Malays are squatters in this country.
*How about the Keris waive by Dato Hishamuddin in the 2006 and 2008 UMNO general assembly? Is he fit to be vice-president of UMNO after all in Najib's leadership? In the recent incident, Hishamuddin defended the cow head protesters who insulted the Hindu community in Malaysia.
*Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar who warned non-Malay Malaysians not to question the concept of ketuanan Melayu and that it was "not a joke to be fooled around with"? So how if we have a professional discussion on the topic? I'm sure you will say it is too sensitive to discuss about. Let me tell you that nothing is sensitive if you openly discuss about it. Quality discussions and debates make us more understand each others!
*Head of the Johor state, Abdul Ghani Othman objected the use of the 'BANGSA MALAYSIA' term, he stated that it was 'rojak' and not acceptable. Such leaders should change their mentality, if they refuse to change, then UMNO should kick out this kind of negative leaders who oppose the 'Malaysia for all Malaysians' concept. Definitely, the unity itself should come from you UMNO leaders, but you are not so open minded to make it!
UMNO always sees itself as Malay nationalist and conservative representing the Malays of Malaysia and generally regarded as the "protector or the champion of 'ketuanan Melayu'. Can they change their ideology to 'ketuanan rakyat' which favours to all Malaysians regardless or race and ethnicity? This is a request from a Anak Bangsa Malaysia that thirsty of equality.
Dear brothers and sisters, don't forget that if although you or me have forgotten these incidents, the history will never forget them. Remember that history will tell our younger generations on what had happened in our country. So I hope UMNO leaders reform themselves and their party immediately to regain the confidence of the Malaysians. Its better late than never!

Reporters, you've been warned. If you ask Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer about global warming she will curse at you and, maybe, if you're lucky, she'll take a swing at you, too.
RELATED: Jan Brewer's Book Sales Are Up 1.3 Million Percent; 'War Horse' Gets the Spielberg Bump
A reporter for the local KTVK station in Arizona had the gall to ask Brewer if she thought global warming was real during a very short, very casual press conference about an energy conference. Brewer said something about it not being man made, which is silly, because science. The important part is what happened next.
RELATED: Brewer Offered to Buy Obama Lunch Before Their Tarmac Argument
Global warming is a thing we pay attention to now, after Sandy and all, so a handler tried to get her out of there before anything more could happen. But Brewer wanted to confront the reporter, who got his answer and was packing his thing, so she whacked him to get his attention. Like, with a fist. A closed first, even, so it wasn't one of those sissy pro-wrestling punches. A photographer present at the rumble told Jim Romensko all the details:
After her answer, a handler swooped in and whisked her away, but about three paces out she turned back around to face the reporter who asked the last question. He had turned to a camera operator and seemed to be putting his microphone away. Brewer took her left hand, balled it into a fist and with the back of her hand she slugged the reporter on the back of his right arm. Not hard, but with enough force that he spun around to see what was going on.
After hitting the reporter, Brewer asked, "where in the hell did that come from?" and the camera was still rolling, so the reporter included it in his report. Unfortunately, the punching didn't make the cut, or wasn't in the shot, so we're denied the Jan Brewer punching GIF we all deserve. But watch her be really mad and swear at him here:
RELATED: Judge Issues Yet Another Setback for Arizona Immigration Law
RELATED: Neil Munro's Place Among the Obama Interrupters
So, there you have it: Jan Brewer punches people. And with the swearing and the punching, Dana White is calling her to join the UFC's new-fangled girl-fighting division, probably, which would be hilarious considering Arizona politicians and the UFC have a complicated history.
