Janet Sciales "The StarGoddess" has advice for Virgos!
Libra runs from September 22nd - October 22nd and is a Cardinal, meaning I want to lead the parade, Air sign running everything through how they think.
Ruled by Venus, it produces some of the most beautiful men (Armand Assante, Christopher Reeve and Roger Moore) and women (Catherine Deneuve, Cheryl Tiegs, Gywneth Paltrow) in the zodiac. They usually have dimples, (Will Smith and Karen Allen), set in a wide, square-shaped face and are blessed with perfect, white teeth. They have the most expensive taste (Ralph Lauren) and are usually well-dressed down to engraved cufflinks for the men and designer clothes (Donna Karan) for the women, draped beautifully on their well-toned bodies.
They are the peacemakers of the zodiac (Jimmy Carter and John Lennon come to mind) and you can usually find them smiling big trying to defuse hostile situations (Jesse Jackson) with a face-saving compromise because Libra's like everyone to make nice. These are polite, well mannered folks and can insult you without you even realizing you've been insulted. They are charming and engaging and have an ability to make you think you are the only person in the room when they are talking to you.
This is a year for Libra to reach a long standing hope, wish, goal or objective through the help of a group rather than going it alone and it may require an exquisite sense of timing to pull it off completely. They have had it with having to make do with less, and, fortunately, that austerity period comes to an end in December. The structure of their life will change over the next three years into something they can manage. If they have set an educational goal for themselves - to get some kind of additional certification or degree - this is the year they can put that into motion.
About The StarGoddess
I'm the StarGoddess, aka Janet Sciales. I escaped from New York the first day I was street legal and headed south to where the weather suited my clothes. I graduated from Harvard on the Hillsborough (the University of Tampa) work for CBS Radio at Q105 and have been in the StarGoddess career field for most of my lifetimes. Off the air I am an ever-so-serious Astrologer along with my sister, Mary Beth – the Mystic One, the best psychic on the planet. We have an office in Lutz, where I don't make fun of you like we do on the air sometimes, and counsel clients both in person as well as over the phone. When I' m not meddling in other people's lives, I'm pretty competitive and enjoy both coaching and playing softball and cheering on a variety of sports including our Rays and Lightning.

al Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden speaks to a selected group of reporters in mountains of Helmand province in southern Afghanistan Thursday, Dec. 24, 1998. The man accused of masterminding the bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa says the U.S.-British airstrikes on Iraq make it a ``duty of Muslims to confront, fight and kill'' Americans and Britons. (AP Photo/Rahimullah Yousafzai)
WASHINGTON -- U.S. officials say counterterrorism teams are following new leads and tracking possible new targets as experts finish sifting through files from Osama bin Laden's Pakistani hideout.
The U.S. has stepped up surveillance of al-Qaida operatives who were previously thought less important, after reading their correspondence with bin Laden. The files were taken in a May 2 Navy SEAL raid on the terror leader's compound.
Two officials say the CIA-led team of analysts is "95% done" decrypting and translating the material. They say nothing in the files so far indicates any imminent attack.
One official says that at least two al-Qaida operatives have changed their travel plans in recent weeks, fearful of being hunted.
All the officials spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the intelligence.

We all talk highly of the VA VistA medical records system and it is good as many other commercial system spawned from the early work. If you work in the commercial side today then you know that medical records and claims are connected together and the VA is no different except they are a bit behind the 8 ball here with that portion of their work. It's a big deal and it doesn't help much to hear this if one is a Veteran and trying to get the medical attention you need. When you look at 400 to 500 days in Los Angeles and New York, well let's hope it's not urgent before one gets in the system.
Now the VA and DOD have taken so much flack over their medical records systems and the decisions on what is to be done with DOD and do you not think that the claim processing entered in here too in it's current state and needing further work? Of course it did and the CTO and CIO of the VA are saying adios as they have digital illiterates in Congress saying they wasted money and didn't do their jobs when the fact of the matter is digital illiteracy at the Congressional level. If I were one of them, I would leave too as this is massive and everybody doesn't want to look at what creates this but rather wants to be political and rush out there and do a witch hunt. Our veterans deserve better than that from Congress but it appears at times that's all they know how to do.
In the commercial world claims and medical records are connected and it's talked about all the time but in the media nobody ever says anything other than the fact that they throw numbers up on the backlog and the reason once again is software implementation to go from paper processing to automation. The VA has to make the connection too, so add that to their plate. On the claims software the VA had to farm it out as there's not enough engineers internally to do the job for the Veterans Benefit Management System, aka VBMS. VBMS started back in 2009 with the work. Right now only 5 percent of the claims workers are able to use the system, so basically I would say it's in beta or working in "pilot" mode. They had some hardware issues they had to correct. The goal is to by 2015 to have the backlog cleared.
If folks read this blog often enough then you are getting to realize the cold hard reality of the complex world of data we work with today and these things take time. You can read about the state of California taking 20 years or so to replace their legacy payroll system in the news. The VA and DOD created a common user interface back in 2011. They are currently sharing medical records with portions of Kaiser and other entities.
Again all need to understand the time elements here on how long this takes and at HHS we have this, link below, they don't get it. What's next for goodness sakes, waterboarding developers to get the code faster (grin).
So there's a lot going on with the VA and it is big work in progress. In Los Angeles the VA center sits on some pretty valuable land and they rent out some of it to help keep things afloat with monthly income that way. They do have the Blue Button going and any veteran should jump on this to get copies of their records by all means, this much they can do.
Let's hope the software gets moving on the claims portion here and again this is a huge job while other things are going on too. Here's a recent video that covers the damage to the VA in New York and a summary of benefit problems all across the US. Again the claims is a software issue and sadly all this take takes time for an IT infrastructure to be in place before the money rolls out, so hopefully it won't be too much longer and Congress might tread a little lighter over there in the future and understand the creating of the benefits system and what is involved today with complexities of IT infrastructure. BD
The Veterans Affairs Department reports it has a backlog of 898,861 disability claims, with 632,358, or 70.5 percent stuck in the system for over 125 days.
Joseph Violante, national legislative director at Disabled American Veterans, told a hearing of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee today that these figures don't convey the true picture of the backlog. He said the length of time it takes to process veterans' claims also continues to rise, with the average processing time now almost 280 days. Veterans Benefit Administration regional offices in New York and Los Angeles average 450 and 500 days respectively to process a claim, Violante told the hearing.

The Mentalist Review: The Love Doctorby Christine Orlando at . Comments
Turns out Wayne Rigsby was in need of more than just some "Red Velvet Cupcakes," although with his penchant for eating on the job, it was no surprise he tried to steal one of the delectable looking treats from the victim's kitchen.
This installment of The Mentalist was fun from start to finish as Jane got to comment on everything from dieting to fetishes; and a long-stalled relationship finally moved forward.
I felt for the murder victim. Missy was determined to save her crumbling marriage but her husband was cheating, her counselor became obsessed with her feet and his wife shot her in a jealous rage. Talk about lousy luck.
Yet her loss was our gain as it gifted us with some wonderfully amusing moments.
First was Lisbon prodding Jane out of his attic. When telling him he could deal with Red John later didn't work, she took a different route…
Lisbon: Jane, I need you.
Jane: It's nice to be needed. Anything for you Lisbon. | permalink
That certainly got his attention.
Who wouldn't love Patrick Jane as a radio DJ? He certainly has the voice for it, not to mention he knew people would do almost anything to win a prize, no matter what it was.
The look on Lisbon's face when she found Kip tied up in the jungle room was priceless. When Jane jokingly called the whole set up classy I couldn't help but laugh.
I loved that Cho got to interrogate Kip. He's just so matter of fact that nothing Kip said about his affair with the passionate personal trainer could possibly surprise him. But when Cho said that the heart wants what the heart wants, I couldn't help but wonder if the heart was really the pertinent part of the anatomy in Kip's situation.
Wayne and Grace finally having an open conversation about their relationship was long overdue. It was satisfying to see them being honest about their history. From Rigsby's wounded expression when he accused Van Pelt of breaking up with him the first time because the job was more important to her than he was to Van Pelt's frustration over him getting some other woman pregnant, the two finally voiced what they felt.
Of course Wayne continually harping on Grace's homicidal maniac of a fiance was hysterical. It's hard to live that one down.
Wayne looked so stunned when Grace showed up on his doorstep that I wasn't sure he'd pull it together and kiss the girl. And as much as I've waffled on whether I've wanted these two back together, I suddenly found myself rooting for them.
As for our suspect's foot fetish, weird though it may be it hadd me craving a foot massage.
The best part was that it gave Jane the chance to rib Lisbon a little in this The Mentalist quote...
You want to talk to me about the whole foot fetish thing but the Catholic school girl in you tells you that it's not necessarily appropriate. | permalink
Even better was his prodding to find out what flips her switch. The moment, a cross between flirting and teasing put an absolutely delighted expression on Jane's face. He needs to have fun like that more often. I wouldn't mind at all if it were actually with Lisbon.
C. Orlando is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: The Mentalist, Reviews
I just watched this weeks episode again and I have a problem with Rigsby and Van Pelt! Rigsby jacked Van Pelt up in front of a witness and threw her personal business out there like he read about it on the front page of the inquirer! What gets me is that Van Pelt just backed down....It's not like that. WHAT! All this before they even had a discussion about anything, relationship or otherwise. What? Risby buys her a stinkin' plant and now he thinks he owns her. Well! I. Guess. That. Beats. The. Hell. Out. Of. Buying. Her. Dinner. First! That's the kind of crap that broke them up in the first place! Instead of wearing heels, she better get out her B-Boots! These boots are made for walkin....! You know the rest!
@creamy and @huisclothes Jane taking the initiative and dazzling the breath out of Lisbon is my absolute preference! Sometimes I play with the other way round with little fan fic starbursts. But I much prefer Patrick in total thrall of Teresa and pouring that power helplessly through his own passion and knowledge of her every breath, just making a noodle of her! :-) Did any of that gibberish even make sense, hahaha? Am yet without coffee this morning.
think ctv does a better job with tm promos than cbs. cvs created that stupid template in, i think, season three and since then the promos are chopped to shit by the gritty graphics they slap all over them. doesn't fit the tone of the show. ctv's are looser and more playful. you expect a witty show.
@creamy that's my wish. i want him to turn his amazing powers on her. charm her, dazzle her, sweep her off her feet. he can do that to a woman. it's a lost art. now they propose in sports arenas. now brides and grooms smash cake in each other faces. teresa is in for a treat.
I like to think that when Jane will be ready to start his roamance with Lisbon it will totally dazzle her, surprise her and leave her breathless and speechless, just like he did with her birthday present:a pony :)
Definitely think Jane is running a long game, that there are plenty of things we don't know including things we know we don't know and also things we don't know we don't know. At least I hope that is what the writers have in store for us.
(giving equal time to Dick here after the shout out to Ronald R. )
just thinking about the fact that whenever jane is led in anywhere, he looks around excitedly and smiles. so cute.
@rationalgal I like that you put the part in about Patrick being a little teary. His face looks so pretty when he's about to cry, it's a straight shot into his heart, very childlike, just raw innocent hurt. Anybody wants to pat that away.
@rationalgal had him both joyous and sad because a good character got killed too and Patrick feels guilty about it.
how much time elapsed between when jane shot timothy carter and when the detective told him there was no gun? a few hours? jane was dazed and happy. is this the state lisbon would find him in after he made red john go bye-bye for good?

Per the manufacture; The Minnkota Terrova features their Universal Sonar 2 transducer. This will connect to an Elite-5 HDI, using the MKR-US2-10 Lowrance Adapter cable ( SKU: 1066046 ), but will only provide 2D sonar. You will not get the DSI (3D DownScan Sonar) with this transducer.

NBA fines Knicks $200,000 for illegal workouts
Feb 3, 2011, 2:42 PM EST
An NBA investigation concluded that some New York Knicks staffers had been conducting illegal workouts with potential draft picks and fined the team $200,000, according to the New York Times. Rodney Heard, the scout in question, has been fined $20,000. While that's a fairly steep fine the Knicks did not lose any draft picks, which…
Donnie Walsh isn't worried about Donnie Walsh's future
Feb 3, 2011, 2:15 PM EST
Some time before May 1 — so three months from now — New York Knicks owner James Dolan has to pick up (or not) the contract for Knicks GM Donnie Walsh for next year. Because Dolan never speaks to the media (not in four years) and because his decisions in the past have not all…
D-League All-Star Game rosters announced
Feb 3, 2011, 1:39 PM EST
Just a few hours before Blake Griffin wins the Dunk Contest on Feb. 19, a bunch of guys who want their NBA shot will get a turn in the spotlight. Sort of. The D-League All-Star game is part of the All-Star weekend festivities and is taking place next door to Staples Center at the NBA…
Ron Artest says he doesn't want to be traded, wants to win
Feb 3, 2011, 1:17 PM EST
Ron Artest being traded or not remains a moot point — no other team is going to take on the three-years, $22 million left on his deal after this season. Still, for the record, despite the reports, Artest told media members at Lakers practice Wednesday he does not want to be traded (as reported by…
Cuban reiterates (sort of) Mavs would be willing to trade for 'Melo without extension
Feb 3, 2011, 12:48 PM EST
You kind of have to read between the lines of the Mavericks owner Mark Cuban told the Sporting News. Well, not very hard. It's actually obvious what he is really saying, he just doesn't want to write David Stern another large check. Cuban can't say Carmelo Anthony by name — that would be tampering —…
Andre Miller would be fine if Portland wants to trade him
Feb 3, 2011, 11:41 AM EST
Andre Miller is a little tired of living in the 1990s. Which is really what living in Portland is like. With the Trail Blazers realizing it's time to rethink and restart the team building process everyone is on the trade block. That includes Miller, a quality veteran point guard who could help a lot of…
Jason Williams reaches deal to join Grizzlies
Feb 3, 2011, 11:16 AM EST
Jason Williams didn't like being the fourth point guard on the depth chard in Orlando — despite being so close to Epcot — so we'll see how he likes being the backup in Memphis. Just a week after being waived by the Magic, Williams is about to sign a deal with the Grizzlies, according to…
PBT Thursday morning one liners

The Dwight Howard technical count is at 13 heading into tonight's game against the Heat. When he gets to 16 (and it is when) he gets a fine and a one-game suspension, then gets a game suspension for every other tech after that. How Joy Division songs explain the All-Star starters. Don't be surprised if…

Jerry West. Magic Johnson. Seemingly every fan on a Lakers message board for the past week. Kobe Bryant has a message for you.

Another day, another thunderous Blake Griffin dunk
Feb 3, 2011, 8:45 AM EST
There is this buzz at Clippers games now — people know it is coming. At some point Blake Griffin is going to get behind the defense, the lob will go up higher than any human should be able to catch it and Griffin will get it and throw it down. Every time he touches the…
MRI confirms Deron Williams wrist just strained
Feb 3, 2011, 8:20 AM EST
Who knows when we'll get to see Deron Williams back on the court, but at least the Jazz know there is nothing seriously wrong.

Feb 3, 2011, 2:44 AM EST
What you missed while thinking about every move Nicolas Cage ever made… Pacers 117, Cavaliers 112: And we are at 22 losses in a row — but it was so, so close. This game was tied at 110-110 with just over a minute left. First the Pacers' Darren Collison knocked down a three pointer. After…
Joakim Noah says he expects return after All-Star break
Feb 3, 2011, 1:47 AM EST

"He says…
If Blake Griffin makes All-Star Game, expect him to miss Rookie Challenge
Feb 2, 2011, 9:57 PM EST
Blake Griffin is on the bubble for being selected to play in the All-Star Game as a rookie (we have him in, but mostly for the entertainment factor). Everyone (including the Clippers) will find out Thursday. If he does make the cut to play the game in his home arena, expect him to skip out…

Old man game is winning in the NBA
Feb 2, 2011, 6:54 PM EST
In the NBA — like in society at large — we have this fascination with youth. Blake Griffin is a YouTube sensation. We all fall in love with the up-and-coming Oklahoma City Thunder. Fans obsess over draft picks. But what about the other end of the spectrum — who are the oldest teams in the…

Deron Williams out again Wednesday, to see wrist specialist
Feb 2, 2011, 2:22 PM EST
The Utah Jazz are not right without Deron Williams. No offense intended Earl Watson, but the offense is sluggish and sloppy with him out. If you've seen the Jazz without Williams, it has not been pretty (even if they have won two of three). It will not be pretty tonight either, when Williams misses a…
Brandon Bass could be out a while for Orlando
Feb 2, 2011, 12:10 PM EST
Brandon Bass has stepped up this season — especially as a starter since the big trades — and been a solid part of the Magic front line. There aren't a lot of points in the paint left or rebounds to grab when you play along side Dwight Howard, but Bass had averaged 11.6 points and…
LeBron says he's still motivated by Orlando's summer comments

LeBron James and the Miami Heat have already played the Orlando Magic twice — but don't think he has moved on from this summer's snide comments by Orlando brass. LeBron's comments yesterday showed he will be up for Thursday night's meeting. "The simple fact that it's a division opponent, that means a lot," James said.…
Kobe Bryant tells Pau Gasol to be the Black Swan
Feb 2, 2011, 10:40 AM EST
Pau Gasol is a lot of things. Skilled. Spanish. Intellectual. A good guy. But he often defers. When Kobe Bryant steps up his aggressive play, Gasol will fade back. That's not what Kobe wants — he wants a true partner — so he explained it to Gasol is an intellectual (or at least pseudo-intellectual) way,…

The guide is knowledge and Chateau de Chillon is an interesting castle to visit. Montreux is a beautiful city. A fun day,
October 2014
This trip was an all day trip and this was clear in the description. The guide was friendly and very engaging. Going into the Olympic Museum was an option worth taking. Our group was very small and the guide was able to answer all questions. There was a nice mix of guided tour and free time.

NATO websites targeted in online attack
Summary: NATO says several of its websites have been targeted in a significant attack that was claimed by Ukrainian hackers in what appeared to be the latest bout of virtual warfare linked to the country's crisis.
Spokeswoman for the NATO military alliance, Oana Lungescu, said on Twitter that several of its websites had been hit by "a significant DDoS [denial-of-service] attack" on Saturday.
But it said the attacks had no operational impact.
In DDoS attacks, hackers hijack multiple computers to send a flood of data to the target, crippling its computer system.
Lungescu said experts are working to restore normal function, but the websites had remained down for hours and still could not be accessed early on Sunday.
Lungescu did not say who was responsible for the attack, which was claimed by a Ukrainian hacker group called Cyber Berkut, the name given to the feared elite riot police involved in a bloody crackdown on protesters in Kiev.
In a statement on its website, the group said it had targeted three NATO websites over what it claimed was the alliance's interference in Ukraine and support of the "Kiev junta".
"We will not allow the presence of NATO in our homeland," said the statement, which could not be independently verified.
The electronic attack is the latest of several that have seen Ukraine tensions hit cyberspace.
On March 8, British-based BAE Systems said dozens of computer networks in Ukraine had been infected by an aggressive new cyberweapon called Snake, which experts said was most likely the work of Russian hackers.

This little Asian babe came by my place to chat for a little bit. She was all depressed because her boyfriend was cheating on her with another girl and this was the end of the world to her. I was on a conference call so I told her just to wait and I´ll be in as soon as I can. I took way too long and when I came out, she was asleep. She looked so sexy and I knew she needed to be consoled, so I woke her. We talked for a bit, but she just wanted to get fucked. I should have said no, but she was too damn sexy and needy to resist.

Julien: 'We collapsed' in third period meltdown
|12.15.09 at 1:39 am ET
Claude Julien expected more from his team on Monday night.
He thought after his Bruins killed a 5-on-3 Philadelphia power play in the first period, they would come out for the jugular.
He thought after they worked and worked and finally got a late second-period goal from Vladimir Sobokta on a lucky re-direct of a centering pass from Shawn Thornton, they would find a way to put away the Flyers in the third period. They were 9-0-0 before Monday night in similar situations this season.
And he thought, despite a Sobokta goal being disallowed earlier in the game, the Bruins would outwork the dispirited Flyers and come away with two points.
If Monday's game were a multiple choice game, none of the above would be the correct answer as the Flyers scored three unanswered goals in the final 20 minutes and came away with a much-needed, much deserved 3-1 win at TD Garden.
Claude Julien said his team simply collapsed in a third-period meltdown.
Julien said he expected more from his team after killing a Flyers 5-on-3 power play.
Julien said he was disappointed his team wasn't ready for the third.
Zdeno Chara said two good periods wasn't good enough on Monday.
Chara said the Flyers played like the hungrier team.
Winter Classic Preparation

Get a sneak peak as Fenway transforms into an ice rink for the Winter Classic. NHL Facilities Operation Manager Dan Craig and Bruins legend Ray Bourque address the media. Marc Savard and Flyers James Van Riemsdyk talk about the big day.
Kesselmania over – we can get on with our lives
|12.11.09 at 1:37 am ET
Even Claude Julien had to take notice of the TV-generated hype over Phil Kessel's return to Boston twice in the last five days.
Yes, he was a terrifically talented player who could score and strike the fear of hockey gods into the opposition if given space on ice to wheel and deal.
But the Bruins knew full well how to contain No. 81 of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
He had two shots in 16 minutes in Saturday's 7-2 loss to Boston. On Thursday, just five days later, Kessel's line wasn' t much prettier.
He had 22 shifts in over 18 minutes with just two shots, no goals and two face-off wins as the Bruins won again, 5-2. Not exactly what Toronto coach Ron Wilson had in mind but just what Claude Julien and the Bruins drew up in practice this week when discussing Kessel.
Bruins coach Claude Julien said he was very proud of the way his team contained the explosive Toronto forward.
Julien said his team wasn't obsessed with Kessel and did a good job of not being affected by 'Kesselmania'.
Serving his team and country
|12.11.09 at 1:23 am ET
Mark Stuart was a very proud man on Thursday night.
Just before face-off, the Bruins defenseman had the privilege of accepting a Bruins flag that flew in Iraq with the U.S. Army Rangers.
He took a slap shot from the top of the slot that beat Toronto goalie Vesa Toskala between the pads for his second goal of the season, giving the Bruins a 1-0 lead.
The he got into a shoving match two minutes into the second period with Jamal Mayers. As they came out of their respective penalty boxes, the two decided to come out swinging this time, both earning five minute majors.
The only thing missing from Mark Stuart's night to remember was an assist. That would have given him the so-called Gordie Howe hat trick – A goal, an assist and a fight. Still, Stuart was clearly the most important player on the ice on Thursday during Boston's 5-2 win over the Leafs at TD Garden.
Afterward, he shared his thoughts on the special night.
Stuart said it was an emotional night, starting with the opening flag-presenting ceremony.
Stuart said he was happy to finally get mixed up with Mayers after their roughing minors.
Coach Claude Julien thought Stuart deserved the No. 1 star.
Captain Zdeno Chara said Stuart provided a valuable spark.
Mark Recchi said every Bruin can learn something from Stuart's performance Thursday.
Ice rink at Fenway

Jacobs family to donate Winter Classic tickets
|12.09.09 at 9:23 pm ET
The Bruins announced Thursday that owner Jeremy Jacobs, principal Charlie Jacobs and the Jacobs family, will purchase and donate 200 tickets to the Bridgestone Winter Classic to ten youth hockey teams throughout New England. Each team will represent a different state in New England. Bruins players and alumni will personally deliver the tickets to the teams.
NHL Power Rankings — 12/9
|12.09.09 at 7:08 am ET
Things are starting to settle in among the top five and bottom five teams, but there's plenty of movement among the remaining 20 teams in the WEEI NHL Power Rankings.
1. (1) 20-7-1 Fewer games, more wins. Get it ? Devils stay at No. 1.
2. (6) 19-5-6 Caps win six straight. Top power play in league. Catalyst defenseman Mike Green's goal total (5) is down, but his plus-minus is up (plus-11). Still not sold.
3. (2) 18-7-3 Questioning the Blackhawks' decision to ink defenseman Duncan Keith to a 13-year contract extension? Aside from leading the team in ice time, he's their second-leading scorer. More points than Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp and Brian Campbell. Can you say, team MVP?
4. (4) 19-7-5 Sharks lose at home to Blues, are just 1-1-1 during five-game homestand. The soft underbelly won't go away.
5. (5) 20-10-1 Always near the top, Penguins are primed for when things really matter.
6. (11 ) 18-10-3 Ryan Smyth still injured, Anze Kopitar hasn't scored in 13 games, Dustin Brown in 14. Yet, the Kings are 4-0-1 in last five. There's something here, folks.
7. (2) 18-8-3 After a setback in LA Monday, the Flames still are 6-3-1 in last 10. After being named NHL first star for netting 13 goals in November, Jarome Iginla has yet to score in December.
8. (14) 18-11-1 Who needs a power play? The Coyotes have won five straight, with their power play going 0-for-18 in during that stretch.
9. (10) 15-9-5 Only the meltdown in Montreal diminishes the Bruins' recent play.
10. (7) 16-9-2 The Sabres are settling in for a long fight with the B's for the division lead. But scoring is an issue, and leading goal-scorer Thomas Vanek has just one tally in last seven games.

Steven Goff has your weekend roundup of the bigger-named players in Europe. Julian Green came off the bench for Hamburg and played 15 minutes against his parent club Bayern Munich. Brad Guzan, who had only given up one goal over the first four games of the season, gave up three goals to Arsenal over a four-minute stretch around the 30th minute.
Andrew Wooten scored the lone goal of the game in Sandhausen's 1-0 victory at Aalen. And Alfredo Morales assisted on Ingolstadt's only goal in a 1-1 draw to 1860 Munich. I really dislike the 2. Bundesliga as it is nearly impossible to find highlights from that league. I can find goals from the Swedish fourth division or the U-19 league in Germany, but not the second division in Germany.
Speaking of the U-19 league in Germany, Junior Flores started for Borussia Dortmund's U-19 team in a 3-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen. I saw some chatter on Twitter that he assisted on a goal, but it doesn't look like he did as he only played 45 minutes (two of their goals came in the second half) and here are some highlights from the game (they start around the 2:35 mark).
We did have some goals in some smaller leagues this weekend. As always, our goal tracker has been updated with the information. As for some highlights of the goals, Cesar Romero scored from the penalty spot in Pyunik's 1-1 draw to FC Mika in Armenia. Kyle Curinga scored his second goal of the season on Saturday in GBK's 3-0 win over Kajaani in Finland. Andy Lorei scored a goal on Saturday in Bodens BK's 2-1 win over Söderhamn. And Jake Keegan scored his 11th goal of the season on Saturday, tied for the third most in the League of Ireland First Division, in Galway's 3-0 win over Finn Harps.
Also, Brandon Scott, Matt Horth and Leiknir Reykjavík clinched the Icelandic 1. Deild (second division) title this past weekend with a 4-0 win over Tindastóll. And Horth contributed to the goals in the second half.
Here is an action shot of Fabian Johnson during Borussia Mönchengladbach's 0-0 draw to FC Köln.
Joe Gyau made the bench for Borussia Dormund's senior team yet again this past weekend, but he did not play again either. Here are some photos of Gyau with former USMNT player and current Dortmund U-23 manager David Wagner.
Kyle Scott assisted on a goal for Chelsea's U-18 team over the weekend.
According to ESPN's Doug McIntyre, Jurgen Klinsmann plans on calling in a lot of guys into next month's international break, possibly up to as many as 30 players. Since it is a full international break, it will be both MLS/Liga MX and European-based players.
Since everyone and their mother does a "pick the USMNT roster for the 2018 World Cup" thing, Brian Sciaretta goes US Soccer hipster on us and picks his 21 players for next summer's U-20 World Cup.
A new name to keep an eye on (courtesy of a Brian Sciaretta tweet from this weekend) is Björn Maars Johnsen. He was born in North Carolina, but it looks like he grew up in Norway. But he has nine goals in eight games for Atlético CP in the Portuguese Segunda Liga (second division) and two goals in three cup matches so far in 2014-15. And he sort of has a Kid 'n Play hi-top fade thing going.
Jon Arnold thinks it might be time for the Gold Cup to branch out and play some of its games outside the US.
And finally, FIFA Executive Committee member Theo Zwanziger doesn't think the 2022 World Cup will be played in Qatar. But FIFA wants to remind you that his comments are just his personal opinion.
A bunch of stuff before the weekend.
The latest FIFA rankings came out yesterday with the US moving up one spot to #17. The US is still the third-highest ranked team in CONCACAF with Costa Rica at #15 and Mexico at #16.
According to Steven Goff, the US has sold about 25,000 tickets for the October 10 friendly against Ecuador in Hartford.
Yesterday was Thursday and Thursday means Europa League. Tim Howard was a beast as he tied a Europa League record with 12 saves in Everton's 4-1 win over Wolfsburg (highlights). And Fabian Johnson started on the left wing for Borussia Mönchengladbach in their 1-1 draw to Villarreal.
The UEFA Youth League also had some games this week with Gedion Zelalem going the distance in Arsenal's 2-0 win over Junior Flores (71 minutes) and Borussia Dormund. Here is a photo of them both in action. Zelalem also had a pretty nice assist last week in an Arsenal youth game back in England.
Herculez Gomez scored a goal in Tigres' 1-0 win over Queretaro in Copa MX action on Wednesday (highlights). It was also Ronaldinho's debut for Queretaro.
Emerson Hyndman will have a new manager at Fulham as Felix Magath has been sacked after the dumpster fire of a start by the Cottagers this season.
Sticking at Craven Cottage, remember when Clint Dempsey had his hand all wrapped up for a couple of weeks in 2010? According to Danny Murphy, it was because Dempsey punched a window after finding out that he wouldn't start in the Europa League semifinal. Dempsey can still rap as well.
The English FA has proposed some changes about foreign players obtaining work permits in the UK. And as Jeremiah Oshan points out, this could help Americans like DeAndre Yedlin if the US can continue to be a Top 30 team. And here is your reminder that Yedlin is really fast.
Terrence Boyd has returned to some solo training this week.
Someone pointed out this tweet from August to me today, but it looks like Josh Gatt is hoping for a January return.
Greg Seltzer takes a look at some possible dual nationals for the USMNT as we begin the 2018 cycle.
Stoke City are setting up some academies in the US and Canada.
Jeffrey Donovan talked to Alfredo Morales about earning his second cap and some other things for ASN.
Right back Travis Brent signed with Heracles Almelo in the Netherlands last month. He has played in at least one U-21 game over the last month.
Dembakwi Yomba assisted on a goal for one of Atletico Madrid's youth teams this week.
Kenya Brown talked to Alex Rodier as he begins his second season in Poland with LKS Lomza.
And congrats to Jon Arnold for guest hosting Soccer Morning yesterday. It seems like yesterday that he was writing about Christian Eissele for us. He is all grown up.
Lots of action this past weekend.
Steven Goff has you covered with a weekend roundup of the bigger names in Europe. Good to see Rubio Rubin and Emerson Hyndman both made appearances again in their respective team's starting lineups. Hyndmann is 18 years old and completing 91 percent of his passes this season, fourth highest in the Championship among players with 100+ attempted passes.
As for some goals, Matt Taylor bagged another two goals in Saarbrücken's 2-1 win over Nöttingen (highlights). Taylor has put together a nice little career in the various lower leagues in Germany, scoring 55 goals in 162 league appearances since 2008-09.
Bobby Warshaw went the full 90 minutes and scored the opening goal of the game in Bærum's 2-1 loss to Hønefoss (highlights). Over in Sweden, Andrew Stadler scored his 11th goal of the season in Landskrona's 1-1 draw to Sirius (highlights). Down in the fourth tier in Sweden, Eddy Prugh and Andy Lorei both scored in Bodens BK's 3-2 loss to Anundsjö (highlights). And we don't have highlights of these goals, but Matt Eliason, Drew Jeskey, Anthony Avalos and Christian Eissele also scored this weekend and our goal tracker has some more details. Will Packwood also scored for Birmingham City's U-21 team.
While we had some goals this weekend, the assists might have been even better this weekend. Bobby Wood used his head to assist on 1860 Munich's goal in their 1-1 draw to Darmstadt 98 (highlights). Here is also a photo of Wood from that game. And Alfredo Morales assisted on two goals in Ingolstadt's 3-0 win over Sandhausen (highlights). That second one was pretty slick.
The USMNT did some training yesterday at the headquarters of the Czech Football Association. In case you missed the young roster, John D. Halloran broke things down on Friday. Terrence Boyd is also there in attendance despite his knee injury and Geoff Cameron has been officially ruled out of Wednesday's game due to his injury. I forgot to post this last week, but here is Jurgen Klinsmann's usual post-roster release quote sheet. Also from last Friday, US Soccer announced an October 14 friendly against Honduras.
The US U-20 team is headed to Argentina this week to play Racing Club Reserves, Defensa y Justicia Reserves and Argentina's U-20 team. Here is the updated roster, which features John Requejo Jr., Fernando Arce, Russell Canouse, Junior Flores and Paul Arriola among others. Another interesting name on the list is Chivas de Guadalajara's Luis Martir since Chivas normally has a Mexican international only policy.
We had a pretty quiet Deadline Day on the American front (aside from a dildo going into a reporter's ear, seriously), but we had a couple moves over the last couple of days.
As we posted over the weekend, Julian Green is headed to Hamburg on a season-long loan. And for all those soccer jersey hipsters out there, Hamburg has a decent home shirt this year and Green looks to be wearing #37.
As for some other moves, Duane Holmes is now with League Two side Bury on a loan until January. Seb Hines is now with Coventry City until January on a short-term loan. Gboly Ariyibi signed with English League One side Chesterfield. And US U-20 midfielder Kris Scott has made the move from Swansea City's youth teams to Leicester City's youth teams.
The bigger news on the American front were the moves that did not happen. Stoke City decided to keep Geoff Cameron despite bids from Sunderland and Southampton. Zulte-Waregem made a bid for Sacha Kljestan, but Anderlecht decided to hold onto him as well. And I guess there might have been some rumblings of Southampton sniffing around Brek Shea, but nothing happened (and it was likely silly season nonsense).
And before multiple more people ask me, Juan Agudelo is still without a club and myself (and many others) don't know anything more on his situation.
Brian Sciaretta, writing for multiple outlets, has you covered with some interviews with Brad Guzan and Greg Garza. Jonny Rico also got some audio from Garza and Joe Corona about their recent call-ups to the USMNT.
And finally, Freddy Adu is still in Serbia, still hasn't played for his new team and is suing his former Brazilian team Bahia over alleged unpaid wages.
This weekend was a busy one with tons of players seeing the field throughout Europe. Here is a quick rundown of how guys did over the weekend. And as always, our goal tacker is updated with the goals from the weekend with some links to highlights to a few of them.
The big news of the weekend was the professional debut of Rubio Rubin. Greg Seltzer also recently talked to Rubin about signing with FC Utrecht.
The other odd news of the weekend was the lack of Geoff Cameron in Stoke City's gameday roster. While there was first speculation that Mark Hughes was giving extra rest to Cameron and Peter Odemwingie due to the World Cup, it now looks like Cameron is wanting a transfer away from Stoke City.
This weekend also saw Brad Guzan make his 75th straight Premier League start for Aston Villa, the second-longest active streak in the Premier League behind Liverpool's Simon Mignolet (now at 79 straight starts).
Through two games, Emerson Hyndman has completed 125 passes this season, the fourth most in the English League Championship. And among Championship players who have attempted at least 100 passes, his 91% completion percentage is the second highest in the Championship. And there has been a total of 1065 minutes played so far in the Championship by players under the age of 20 with Fulham accounting for 607 of those minutes (57 percent).
Aron Johannsson is going to be out another six weeks after having groin surgery to go along with his ankle surgery from last month. It will be interesting to see who Jurgen Klinsmann calls into next month's friendly at forward if he sticks with a European-based roster with Johannsson and Boyd both out with injuries. Is it finally time to cap Matt Taylor?! (I am joking.)
Seattle Sounders general manager Adrian Hanauer spoke about DeAndre Yedlin's transfer last Wednesday. The deal is done, but he won't be transferred until a later date (since the MLS transfer window is closed and he can't be loaned back to Seattle?). Tottenham will "evaluate the situation" at the end of the MLS season once the MLS transfer window opens back up (and see if he can get his UK work permit), although there is a chance he stays in Seattle through the summer of 2015.
People have been asking me a lot recently about anything on Juan Agudelo. There is nothing new to report that I know of other than he continues to train with Orlando City off and on.
Alfredo Morales and FC Ingolstadt were knocked out of the DFB Pokal by Kickers Offenbach yesterday in a penalty shootout. Morales went the full 120 minutes and made his penalty attempt.
Will Packwood didn't play with Birmingham City over the weekend, but he did score a goal with their U-21 team on Monday.
Tony Taylor became a free agent this summer after his contract expired with Omonia Nikosia in Cyprus. And now the former US youth international is headed to the New England Revolution after the Revolution acquired the forward through a lottery.
ESPN's Doug McIntyre spoke to Chicago Fire manager Frank Yallop last week and Yallop thinks the Fire are close to signing Jermaine Jones. McIntyre's ESPN compadre Jeff Carlisle spoke to a league source who told Carlisle that Jones would "likely" be subject to regular MLS allocation order. I never understand MLS roster rules. It is like they are the producers of Paradise Hotel and make up stuff as they go.
Greg Garza did not play with Tijuana last Friday after suffering a nose injury in training which required surgery. On the Tijuana U-20 front, tilt your computer sideways to see this goal by Amando Moreno from a U-20 game from Friday.
Sticking with odd videos of goals from the weekend, here is Joey Spivack's first goal of the season for Víkingur Ólafsvík.
Brian Straus with some words on Tim Howard and Tourette syndrome.
US Soccer confirmed the friendly against Ecuador for October 10 last week. Brian Sciaretta is hearing that US Soccer will add a second game during that international week and it will also take place in the US.
While Germany had the DFB Pokal this past weekend, Borussia Dortmund II had the off week from official games, but both Junior Flores and Joe Gyau (Gyau also scored) played with the U-23 team in a friendly against Wattenscheid last Thursday.
Brooks Lennon made his Liverpool U-21 debut last Wednesday.
Jurgen Klinsmann's son, Jonathan Klinsmann, did a training stint with VfB Stuttgart last week.
And finally, Timothy Weah, son of the great George Weah, joined Paris Saint-Germain's academy. Weah has trained with the US U-14 team recently.
Let's start off with some USMNT news.
The FA of Ireland officially announced the rumored November 18 friendly yesterday. Still no official word from US Soccer.
Some details of the 2015 Gold Cup came out over the weekend. It will feature 12 teams in 10 different US cities between July 7-26. The 10 cities will be selected in "4Q 2014″. And a third place match has been added this year.
Speaking of the Gold Cup, new contributor John D. Halloran took a look at some possibilities of the 2015 US roster last Friday.
We had a few guys in action on Monday. Pablo Punyed scored a game-winning goal from a free kick in the 90th minute to give Stjarnan the 2-1 victory in Iceland (highlights). And Zak Whitbread was able to get through a game without an injury and he assisted on a goal in Derby County's 2-0 win in League Cup action (highlights).
I already made a post highlighting Emerson Hyndman's pro debut from the weekend, but Fulham's website has put up the whole game for your viewing pleasure. And Hyndman spoke to Fulham's website about the game against Ipswich Town.
I finally had some time this weekend so I was able to write up The OT Report. So check that out to see how some of your favorite players did this past weekend across Europe. Even though the big leagues haven't started yet, there were a ton of guys in action over the weekend.
One player who saw the field this weekend in a reserve game was Freddy Adu. He started for FK Jagodina's reserve team in a 1-0 loss in Serbia. And here is photographic proof that he still exists.
Michael Orozco scored a goal this weekend. But it was for the other team (highlights).
Junior Flores played this weekend for Borussia Dortmund's U-19 team in a 4-0 win over Wuppertaler SV. I saw some online chatter that he assisted on three goals. I have no clue if that is true or not, but here are some highlights from the game, which has two of the goals. One came from a free kick and I can't tell if he assisted on the other or not.
Here is a photo of Alejandro Bedoya from Nantes' 1-0 win over Lens. And I think this is a photo of Bedoya leading the team in the "I Believe" chant, which I have seen him do before for Nantes after wins.
Brad Guzan and Aston Villa took on Parma over the weekend in a friendly and here is an action shot of Guzan making a save.
Some Norwegian press didn't like Bob Bradley's tactics, but Bob didn't take kindly to the criticism. Go get 'em, Bob.
Nothing new to report on DeAndre Yedlin over the last two days, but here is the latest that we know as of Saturday from Sigi Schmid.
Jozy Altidore saw the field over the weekend in Sunderland's 2-0 win over Udinese in a friendly, his first game action since the Ghana game.
Here are some very long highlights from Hannover 96's testimonial match for Steve Cherundolo.
Jermaine Jones is still without a home and it looks like the New England Revolution are interested in working out a deal. And while Sacha Kljestan didn't end up in Los Angeles, it looks like FC Dallas were trying to get the midfielder to Frisco as well.
Yanks Abroad has two new interviews up on their site, one with Bobby Wood and another with Jonathan Spector.
Terrence Boyd is not back yet from his knee injury, but RB Leipzig's away shirts for this season are on fire. I like them a lot.
And there was some other major transfer news this weekend. The beloved Men in Blazers are moving from ESPN to NBC and will be getting a weekly Monday night show on NBC Sports. Kung Fu Fighting.
More than few things from the weekend.
As I posted earlier this morning, Terrence Boyd picked up a knee injury over the weekend according to one German report. Hopefully it is nothing serious.
We had a couple goals this weekend in both real games and friendlies. Royal-Dominique Fennell probably had the goal of the weekend in Stuttgarter Kickers' 3. Liga opener. Jake Keegan scored a pretty easy goal in Galway FC's win in Ireland. Matt Horth scored his fourth goal of the year in Leiknir Reykjavík's win in Iceland. His four league goals are tied for the third most in the Icelandic 1. Deild (second tier) by a foreign player. Yay for Icelandic second division stats!
As for some goals in friendlies, Shawn Parker scored a goal on Friday in Augsburg's 2-1 win over French side Rennes. Bobby Wood scored a goal in 1860 Munich's 2-0 win over Stoke City. Brek Shea also played the entire second half for the Potters. Here is a photo of Wood in action from the game. And here is video of the entire first half, but of course Wood's goal is in the second half (as well as all of Shea's playing time).
Joe Gyau went the full 90 minutes in Borussia Dortmund II's 2-1 win over Rot-Weiß Erfurt in their 3. Liga opener. In the small chance he gets to play with the senior team in a Champions League game, Dortmund have some pretty basic third/Champions League shirts for this season, which is not like Dortmund.
As for Junior Flores, he is starting the season with Dortmund's U-19 team. He played with the U-19 team in a 0-0 draw against VfL Wolfsburg in the Ruhr-Cup (apparently Flores didn't get the snapchat about not smiling). There are some photos from that 0-0 draw right here.
Gedion Zelalem started and played 45 minutes for Arsenal this weekend in their 1-0 loss to the New York Red Bulls. I already posted last Friday that he is good at basketball. Someone already put together a "every touch" video of his 45 minutes. It was also the US press' first chance to really talk to him about potentially playing for the US, but he didn't really give up the goods.
"No decisions have been made," Zelalem said of his national team future, later adding, "They're both great countries. U.S. is on the rise, Germany is already a great country, so whichever country I choose will be a good choice."
Zelalem confirmed to Goal USA that he has yet to secure a U.S. passport, but did tell media at Red Bull Arena that his application for one is in the works. He also confirmed that he has spoken to U.S. national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
"We've talked on the phone a few times, but nothing advanced," Zelalem said. "Just hello."
"No decisions have been made," Zelalem said of his national team future, later adding, "They're both great countries. U.S. is on the rise, Germany is already a great country, so whichever country I choose will be a good choice."
Zelalem confirmed to Goal USA that he has yet to secure a U.S. passport, but did tell media at Red Bull Arena that his application for one is in the works. He also confirmed that he has spoken to U.S. national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
"We've talked on the phone a few times, but nothing advanced," Zelalem said. "Just hello."
Jeff Bradley also got to talk to Arsene Wenger and Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis about Zelalem.
Emerson Hyndman went 90 minutes in Fulham's 3-0 win over D.C. United. It sounded like both teams brought pretty weak squads to Jacksonville with the highlights coming from their new jumbotron, a pool and Carrie Underwood.
Sacha Kljestan came off the bench and played seven minutes in Anderlecht's season-opening 3-1 win against Mouscron-Péruwelz.
John Brooks is back with Hertha Berlin and training after his World Cup vacation.
We saw the post-injury photo of Rubio Rubin last week and now we know more information on what happened. He ended up breaking his nose and having a concussion. He had the nose re-set and he will return to training this week without any contact.
For those of you wanting a Fabian Johnson/Borussia Mönchengladbach jersey, he will be wearing #19 this season.
One of the more likeable USMNT players of the last few years, Jay DeMerit, announced his retirement last week. DeMerit played in 25 games for the USMNT between 2007-2011, including starts in all four games during the 2010 World Cup. I will always remember him throwing his body in front of every shot during the US's 2-0 win over Spain in the 2009 Confederations Cup and his somersault over the dog pile after Landon Donovan's goal against Algeria at the 2010 World Cup.
As for a current player that I have done a complete 180 on over the last year and enjoy the heck out of . . . here is your weekly reminder that Jermaine Jones is oddly awesome.
This summer has been a busy one and here are a bunch more links from the last couple of days.
The big news of yesterday was that DaMarcus Beasley signed a DP contract with the Houston Dynamo. He becomes the 10th current USMNT player on a designated player contract with MLS.
Danny Williams had surgery on his knee earlier this week. This is the second time in the last five months that Williams has had some form of surgery on his knee. No word on how serious or how long he will be out.
Freddy Adu appears to be in talks with FK Jagodina in Serbia. And he is also getting some interest from a team in Cyprus.
Juan Agudelo has been in Florida training with Orlando City, but much like Brek Shea a couple months ago, this is just a training thing. He won't be signing with Orlando City.
Jozy Altidore's summer vacation is finally ending as he is expected to be back with Sunderland today.
Much like Jermaine Jones throwing out the first pitch with the Dodgers a couple weeks ago, Geoff Cameron did the same with the Red Sox last week and Brad Guzan did it with the Cubs this week.
Do you like stats and numbers? I did a quick look at Tim Howard, Brad Guzan, Geoff Cameron and Alejandro Bedoya yesterday. I plan on doing another one next week on a couple guys from the Championship.
A few of the younger US players (and prospects) will be making the trek to the US with their European teams in the next week. Gedion Zelalem is on Arsenal's roster which will take on the New York Red Bulls on Saturday. Emerson Hyndman made Fulham's squad which is headed to Jacksonville to take on DC United this weekend. And we already know that Julian Green is with Bayern Munich as they take on the MLS All-Stars. Pep Guardiola spoke to the US press about Green and how he doesn't want to loan him out this year.
Another youth player, Lynden Gooch, has been receiving some praise from Sunderland fans this week. Gooch came off the bench with Sunderland's first team in a friendly against Carlisle United on Tuesday. Then he made another appearance with the first team on Wednesday in a friendly against Hartlepool United and assisted on one goal (GIF highlights).
Alfredo Morales scored a goal for FC Ingolstadt in a friendly against Nurnberg earlier this week. Here is a photo of Morales in action.
Sacha Kljestan is still with Anderlecht and went the full 90 minutes in a friendly earlier this week.
Brek Shea is receiving some praise for his play in Stoke City's friendly against Borussia Monchengladbach.
Edgar Castillo (and his odd #1 jersey number) talked to Tom Marshall about still trying to keep the USMNT dream alive.
Bobby Wood came off the bench in 1860 Munich's 3-0 win over SV Heimstetten in a friendly yesterday. Here is a photo of him in action.
For those of you holding out to buy a Junior Flores/Borussia Dortmund jersey, you can go get those #22 jerseys now. For those ultimate soccer jersey hipsters, Alonso Hernandez will wear #13 for Monterrey in Mexico.
Will Packwood played with Birmingham City's U-21 team the other day in a private friendly. Sounds like he missed a little time recently "after suffering from illness", but he is now back in action.
The US U-20 team now knows the format for January's CONCACAF U-20 Championship. It will be two groups of six teams with the winners of each group clinching a spot in the U-20 World Cup, while the second and third place teams from each group doing a four-team playoff for the last two spots.
One player who might be on that U-20 team, Fernando Arce Jr., talked to Brian Sciaretta about selecting to play for the US over Mexico even though his dad played for Mexico.
Goalkeeper Phil Saunders has signed with Icelandic 1st Division side BÍ/Bolungarvik.
Former Bucknell product Conor O'Brien made the jump to Denmark out of college and now another Bison is headed to Denmark. This time it is Mayowa Alli and he is signing with Vensyssel in the Danish First Division (second tier).
With Roma in Boston this week, Keith Costigan talked to Roma president James Pallotta and Pallotta claims that we can expect "an announcement in the next few weeks" in regards to an American going to the club. Could the DeAndre Yedlin deal be back on or could it be another player? Or could it be nothing? I have no clue.
US Soccer and Sporting Kansas City are building a new National Training and Coaching Development Center in Kansas City. Sounds like this would be the main training hub for coaches and refs, while I think they will also get some USMNT/USWNT/youth team camps at the complex (along with the StubHub Center in Carson, California) once it is completed.
In the random but awesome jersey department. I want this jersey of a lower level Spanish team. And if the Big Ten had pro-style jerseys with sponsors, here is what one person thinks they would look like. Basically my Hawkeyes would be Borussia Dortmund.
And finally, this site has been receiving a lot more traffic this month (likely due to the World Cup fever) along with a lot more Twitter and Facebook followers. If you are new to the site, thanks for checking us out. If you are not new to the site, thanks for continuing to check us out. It is nice to see this site grow with all of you.
Mix Diskerud and his majestic hair scored a goal yesterday in Europa League action. You can check it out here. Three other guys scored goals yesterday in Iceland and Finland. As always, our goal tracker has all the information on those.
Mix Diskerud wasn't the only player in Europa League action on Thursday. Sean Reynolds (FH) and Pablo Punyed (Stjarnan) are also advancing to the second qualifying round with Mix (Rosenborg), while Jordan Seabrook and VPS lost their first leg lead and were knocked out.
Clint Dempsey was on Late Show with David Letterman on Wednesday and here is the whole interview for those of you who missed it.
Birmingham City's website broke some news yesterday. They posted that Will Packwood was invited to the US U-23's August friendly. While this might also be the new U-21 team which is supposed to bridge the gap between the U-20 team to the Olympic and/or senior team, some form of a "Above-20″ youth team is having a quick camp and playing the Bahamas senior team in Nassau, Bahamas on August 6. Hopefully US Soccer puts out a release on this game in the near future.
Speaking of young players to keep an eye on, Screamer came out with a Top 10 list of young players we could see on the 2018 World Cup team. If you follow this site, you should probably know all of those guys. If not, here is a chance to learn some more.
While everything has gone quiet on the DeAndre Yedlin-to-Roma front, Ives is hearing that the Roma deal is not as close as people think and that teams from Spain, Italy (including Roma) and England have expressed interest in Yedlin.
There was some talk earlier this week that teams from Europe were interested in Matt Besler and it looks like SC Freiburg might be one of those teams.
Sunderland manager Gus Poyet thinks, barring any hitches, Jozy Altidore should be good to go once he returns to the team's preseason camp.
AZ Alkmaar manager Marco van Basten doesn't appear to be overly impressed with Freddy Adu. But it sounds like Adu did set up one of the goals in AZ's friendly from Wednesday.
US U-20 midfielder Emerson Hyndman put in another 45 minutes with Fulham's first team in a 4-2 loss to Rangers yesterday.
Jon Paul-Pittman is joining Dagenham & Redbridge's training camp in Spain. That is probably another step closer to potentially making the team.
Gedion Zelalem is back in preseason training with Arsenal and their new Puma gear.
Here are some more photos of Junior Flores playing with Borussia Dortmund's U-23 team.
Brian Sciaretta caught up with Jeb Brovsky to talk about Brovsky's loan to Norwegian side Stromgodset.
Jose Torres came off the bench in Tigres' 4-1 loss to Morelia in the first leg of the SuperCopa MX on Wednesday. Herculez Gomez was an unused sub on the bench.
Howie's new favorite random player might be Tigran Tiraturyan (take that Alex Nimo and Fuad Ibrahim!) as he passed along this link to me about the Armenian-American signing with FC Pyunik in Armenian Premier League.
Enjoy the weekend.

that may all be about to change. I'd like members of the clans in this board to post their opinions and suggestions on this somewhat controversial subject.
The PE2K staff have devised ways to improve this place. First was the implementation of the following rules: (note that these haven't been put into practice. Don't worry, the purpose of this post isn't to change the battling center right now, but just to see what others would think/feel about them. If you don't like them, feel free to say so. I plan to make a poll on the following, I'll link to it once it is made.)
Rule Suggestion #1: Somewhat minor, but all new clans must have at least
members instead of 5 to become official. This makes becoming an official clan that little bit harder, and so if it doesn't work out then the members can join the current clans (if any space).
Rules Suggestion #2: All clans must have at least two wifi battlers, two shoddy/pokelab battlers and one PO battler before a clan WAR can be declared between two clans. This allows diversity in clans and in clan WARs, instead of having one type of battler saturated in one clan.
Rule Suggestion #3: Now, this is the highly controversial one. I think that the maximum amount of members in one clan should be cut from 15 to 10. With 3 clans with 15 members each, no one can join any clans due to the current limit, and new members aren't likely to start up their own clan anytime soon. Yes, this rule does imply that 5 members from each clan need to leave / be kicked, and I know many of you will not like this. However, that means 15 members will be clanless, and that means at least 2 new clans will be created. At the moment, Burning Inferno can disregard this rule, with only 8 members present.
Rule Suggestion #4: This rule is only imposed in some clans. I'd like to make it a rule across the board. If a member is not active (i.e: posting
least once a week) then they shall be kicked. This opens up space for newer, more active member to join.
Opinions and suggestions are very much appreciated. Feel free to suggest more rules if necessary.
To be honest, I will blatantly say that I personally think the reason the battling center and forum has gone down is purely because we're waiting for 5th gen. But I will still add my opinion to these rules.
Rule #1: I don't really see much to this rule to be honest. I mean sure, we have the problem that one person may sit out in a war, but most clans usually get more members than 6 before they even think of waring some other clan.
tl;dr - I think it won't do anything
Rule #2: Either it's worded differently then usual, I'm being stupid, or I missed something but I have no idea what PO is.
Back on topic, I don't think this rule will serve any good. I mean, it can be a hassle trying to war someone with only Wi-Fi or only shoddy but this is just too strict. Then there are also clans that only practice one form of battling, what happens to them? Do they get screwed over?
tl;dr - Too strict and clans with only one form get screwed
Rule #3: Besides the fact that you chose an even number, this rule just won't help. I don't see it helping at all, and will only make situations worse. I mean, considering the time and dedication needed to run a clan, I highly doubt one of these kicked members would try to make a clan with the other kicked clan members. If I was one of them, I sure wouldn't.
tl;dr - Kicked members would leave the forum entirely
Rule #4: This is the one rule in particular I made this post to go over. A look into my life: I am a 9th grade marching band student (yes, I am aware season is over, but I digress) taking all honors classes excluding math, and even an Advanced Placement (basically college level) class. There are many other people here in shoes similar to mine, and I can say it is near IMPOSSIBLE for me to be able to post once a week. If anything, it would be a garbage post. There is also the fact that my internet could (and has) gone down for a long time, in which case I cannot do anything about. I do not have time to go to the library, considering I barely have enough time to get on here in the first place, and they usually CHARGE you for using it. I do have internet on my cell phone, but it is just down right AWFUL with lag time of up to 5 minutes to load one page, and even FAILING to load pages at times. Making a post on that thing is just not a method. There is also the fact that I'm not even interested in Pokémon for the time being, for I am waiting for 5th gen. Implying this rule now will only make clans completely empty.
