Happy Birthday to Edythe Kirchmaier! She turns 106 today and she's Facebook's oldest known user!
Edythe is quite a woman. She is also California's oldest driver and has a perfect 86+ year driving record! In fact, she's been driving for so long that she learned how on a Ford Model T (that's not a joke!)
Edythe is also a philanthropist; she's been volunteering at Direct Relief, which provides free medications for people in need, for 40 years!
Last year, an anonymous fan of Edythe's found out that her minivan was breaking down and gave her a new car so she could keep volunteering!

New book by local professor delves into philosophy, ethical issues of cycling
Posted by Jonathan Maus (Publisher/Editor) on October 28th, 2010 at 12:02 pm
Linfield College professor and local racer Jesús Ilundáin-Agurruza is the co-editor of a new book that explores the philosophy of cycling.
The book, Cycling—Philosophy for Everyone: A Philosophical Tour de Force (Wiley-Blackwell, August 2010), is a collection of essays that its publisher says is "meant to stretch the off-road mental muscles of cyclists."
"The book wheels its way through the terrain of life's more complicated philosophical questions with essayists covering everyone from Lance Armstrong to Socrates, and discussing cycling's identity crisis, ethical issues related to success, women bikers, critical mass rides and the environment."
not teaching or writing.
Essays in the book include thoughts on bicycling's role in living a simpler life, a first-person perspective on commuting year-round in Iceland, and other deep thoughts from two-wheeled philosophers. Throughout the book, Ilundáin-Agurruza, "muses about how a bicycle, basically a 'triangle on two circles, as Pythagoras might conceive it,' might help us live flourishing lives."
Ilundáin-Agurruza teaches philosophy at Linfield College's McMinnville campus (they also have a Portland campus). He also competes locally as a category 2 road racer. Michael Austin, a philosophy professor from Eastern Kentucky University, co-edited the book.

UFC officials are apparently not done stacking the year-end event titled "UFC 141: Lesnar vs. Overeem". The latest addition to the card comes in the form of a lightweight clash between Ramsey Nijem and Anthony Njokuani.
UFC 141 is set to take place on Dec. 30 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The end-of-year pay-per-view event will feature a five-round non-title fight between former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and newly signed heavyweight stand-out Alistair Overeem.
Nijem is coming off of his first post Ultimate Fighter victory in a bout against Danny Downes he took via unanimous decision at this past month's UFC 137. The runner up of The Ultimate Fighter Season 13, his first official outing in the UFC was a failure against show winner Tony Ferguson.
Njokuani is one of many WEC imports into the UFC's lightweight division, the striking based fighter made his UFC debut with a very highly contested bout against Edson Barboza at UFC 128. He ended up losing the fight but recently bounced back with a crushing one sided decision victory over Andre Winner at UFC 132.

Read our helpful guide to second hand Peugeot 407 .
You won't find any stolen vehicles or insurance write-offs on AA Cars
* Calls may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes. Please refrain from providing credit/debit card information on these calls. If you do so it is at your own risk.
** plus VAT where applicable
AA Cars works closely with thousands of UK used car dealers to bring you one of the largest selections of Peugeot 407 cars on the market. You can also browse Peugeot dealers to find a second hand car close to you today. All used Peugeot 407 on the AA Cars website come with free 12 months breakdown cover.
Peugeot may be best known for their compact and fun superminis and city cars, but as displayed by the 407, the French manufacturers are just as adept at producing practical and comfortable executive saloons. Saloons without a premium badge might not always get the attention they deserve in the UK, but the 407 has won many drivers over with its efficiency, affordable price tag and its refinement. The diesel options offer the best value, particularly the 2.0 litre 136bhp model, which marries power and frugality, but both the 3.0 and 1.8 offer similarly efficient performance. Despite its exterior size, interior space is only adequate, providing enough room for four adults, while on the road it handles excellently. A versatile and refined car, the 407 might not be a typical Peugeot, but it is an excellent one nonetheless.

Saliva protein 'may save lives'
A protein found in human saliva may help to save the lives of many critically ill patients, say researchers.
In laboratory tests the protein, epidermal growth factor (EGF), has been shown to reduce the tissue damage associated with multi-organ failure.
Scientists from the Hammersmith Hospital, London, believe it could also help premature babies in their fight for life.
Multi-organ failure is a life-threatening condition that usually occurs as a result of major burns, trauma or infection.
The precise causes of the condition are unclear. However, contributory factors include oxygen deprivation, infection and uncontrolled inflammatory responses to injury.
EGF is produced by the salivary glands and the small intestine.
It stimulates division and repair of the cells in the digestive tract.
The Hammersmith team, lead by Professor Ray Playford, has previously shown that EGF can help protect the liver from chemical poisoning.
Organ failure simulated
In their latest study, they simulated multi-organ failure in the laboratory, using a chemical called thioacetamide.
EGF reduced inflammation and cell damage significantly - although exactly how it works remains unclear.
Professor Playford believes that patients identified as being at risk could be given EGF to prevent multi-organ failure occurring.
The Hammersmith team is now investigating how the protein may help very premature babies suffering from an ulcerating bowel.
Many of these babies are born with under-developed intestines and struggle to digest any of the vital food they need to keep them alive.
The researchers believe that EGF could help treat this disease by encouraging normal development of the baby's stomach and intestine and stopping the life-threatening ulcers from occurring.
Use of the protein has already produced promising results in trials.
Professor Playford said: "Our findings offer a novel solution in the battle to help these very vulnerable adults and babies.
"Our early studies using a chemical that induces multi-organ failure have been successful and we are now taking these findings on to further, complex models and clinical trials.
"Eventually we hope that EGF could be used to save many lives across the world."
Professor Robert Winston, director of research and development at Hammersmith Hospital, said: "Many people die every year in the UK as a result of multi-organ failure and there are dozens of babies who never have the chance of life because they are so premature.
"This work is a major advance in finding a treatment for these devastating conditions."

Police Chief opposes gun control
Ronald Wilbanks wears a gun and a badge and stands as the number one law enforcement officer in Walhalla. But he opposes gun control. The Walhalla police chief said as much as Friday, while awaiting the start of Congressman Jeff Duncan's Second Amendment listening tour at the Gun Shop on Main Street. Interviewed by 96.3/WGOG NEWS, Wilbanks said, "I don't agree with taking the right for citizens to be able to purchase guns. It's not the guns that are the problem. It's the people that are getting them."

How do I configure matching rules for Multi-Protocol Gateway error rules in HTTP transactions?
With error rules and their associated matching rule, you can define the transaction flow when an error occurs in Multi-Protocol Gateway transactions. A matching rule evaluates the actual error condition against the expressions in the matching rule to determine which error rule to run. In general, the matching rule in a processing policy can run its associated error rule as the error handler.
In DataPower firmware release 6.0.0, when the error occurs in an HTTP transaction and no preceding error handler processes the error, the matching rule in the Multi-Protocol Gateway Default Error Policy is evaluated and runs its associated error action when the matching rule is met. This process happens when the transaction request is received through the HTTP or HTTPS handler and evaluated against the Default Error Policy (Multi-Protocol Gateway > Advanced > Default Error Policy).
Currently, the Multi-Protocol Gateway provides a variety of matching rule expression flavors, but not all of them are supported in the error flow. For example, an expression can be defined in the matching rule, but the evaluation result is always false for particular types of transaction flows.
For errors that occur in an HTTP transaction, the expression types and the supported flows are as follows:
- URL - Use a shell-style pattern to test against the incoming URL string. URL-matching is fully supported on all flows: Request, response, and error flow.
- Error Code - Use a shell-style pattern to test against a particular error code. Error code-matching is literally to support only the matching on error flows.
- HTTP - Use a shell-style pattern to test against the HTTP header value. HTTP header value-matching supports matching on all headers in request and response flows, but only on the Content-Type header in an error flow.
- HTTP Method - Use an HTTP method such as POST and GET to test against the incoming HTTP request. You can use HTTP method-matching in request and response flows but not in an error flow.
- XPath - Use an XPath expression to test against the message content. You can use XPath-matching in request and response flows but not in an error flow.
Legacy (deprecated) types:
- Full URL - Legacy expression type. Instead, use URL-matching.
- Host - Legacy expression type. Instead, use HTTP header value-matching.
With this information, in an error flow, use the combination of the supported matching types: URL, Error Code, and HTTP Content-Type header.

Inline - Bongs
The best way to describe an inline percolater is a horizontal tube that has many saw cuts along the bottom. Inlines are a classic style that does a fantastic job of providing a smooth hit every time. They are easy to keep clean and of course they provide a ton of diffusion. The other option you will see in this selection is called an Upline, whereas the cuts are on the top of the horizontal tube creating a bubble stacking effect.

Henry, Pires and Reyes are all letting Arsenal down in their quest for domestic and European glory.
Having already named Thierry Henry a fortnight ago, I'm going to add Pires and Reyes to the list of Arsenal players who've been taking the piss recently with their Premiership and Champions League performances.
I don't think Arsenal will have a problem going to Rosenborg and getting the win they need to get into the Champions League knock-out stages, but if they're not prepared to track-back and close people down they're going to be murdered by a team like Juventus or Inter Milan.
That James Mellor strike would've caught most sides out, sure, but prior to that too many of the Arsenal players were going through the motions like they did a couple of seasons ago when a 2-2 draw at Bolton cost them the Premiership. They were 2-0 up when Henry started doing all these fancy flicks that look great on Saturday morning telly, but didn't stop Campo waltzing straight past him and costing the Gunners a goal.
Contrast that to Chelsea who, even when they were 4-0 up against Charlton on Saturday, chased every ball. There were no silly lapses in confidence or last second goals conceded, they worked their socks off as a team, which is why they're five points ahead of Arsenal and among the favourites to win the Champions League.
Something which sums up the lack of heart at Highbury perfectly is that Everton, a team who in many ways aren't fit to lace their boots up, would've overtaken them in the Premiership if they'd won at Newcastle. An average squad of players is breathing down their necks because they're all doing the basic things you expect of a professional properly.
There was no ranting and raving from Arsene Wenger in the post-match interview, but he knows who the shirkers are and will be telling them: "Start delivering or I'll bring the youngsters in." The likes of Owusu-Abeyie and Karbassiyoon showed in the 3-1 Carling Cup demolition of Everton that they're physically and mentally up to the task, so why not start 'em against Birmingham and give the Fancy Dans a boot up the backside?
Returning to the Champions League, you can currently get 2/1 on an English side winning it, which are excellent odds given how well Chelsea and Man U are going at the moment. United might just be peaking at the right time, and Chelsea have a confidence and swagger about them which says, "We can go all the way!"
The game I'd love to see at some point is them against the other side who've hardly conceded any goals, Juventus. That'd be a fascinating encounter, and another match in which Damien Duff can show how much he's improved under Jose Mourinho.
The only blemish on what's otherwise been a highly enjoyable Champions League so far is the disgraceful racist chanting we witnessed at Real Madrid. We used to get monkey noises and all that other crap when I was at Millwall, but the club got together with the police and the stewards and the decent fans and stamped 99.9% of it out. What worried me about the sieg heiling at the Bernabeu is that despite it being obvious where the abuse was coming from, no one was arrested or ejected from the game. If Real can't do better than that, UEFA should pick the next really big home game against Athletico or Barcelona and make them play it behind closed doors. Maybe then they'll pull their fingers out.
Something else which is totally unacceptable is El-Hadj Diouf spitting at Arjan de Zeeuw in the Bolton v Portsmouth game. Fining him two-week's wages would have been an appropriate punishment if he'd never done it before, but this was the fourth spitting incident he's been involved in since arriving in England in 2002.
It happened to me in the Euro 2000 qualifier in Turkey. Their centre-half, Ali Eren Berserler, spat in my face so I waited till the end and flicked his heels as he ran past me. He then punched me, so I smacked him back and ended up getting red-carded in what was my last Republic of Ireland game before retiring. It's the one sending-off in my career that I have absolutely no regrets about. El-Hadj Diouf is an ignorant little coward who should be sacked by Liverpool if he does it again.

|Study Start Date:
|August 2003
Essential tremor (ET) is a common disorder with unknown etiology and pathogenesis. Typically described as a postural tremor, ET often has a marked kinetic component suggesting cerebellar involvement in the pathogenesis of the tremor. The assumption has been illustrated by both positron emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging studies, which revealed that blood flow and activity of the cerebellum were increased in ET patients as compared to the normal controls. In contrast to the cumulative body of imaging evidence, the physiological bases to link the ET and cerebellar functional alternation are scarce. Studies with tandem gait analysis have revealed 25% abnormality of ET patients and surface electromyographic study has found a delay in the second agonist burst during rapid wrist movements suggesting the possible role of cerebellar functional alternation in the generation of ET. In addition, since the tremor of ET tends to appear in the movement ignition or during postural maintenance, it is conceivable that this sort of tremor might exert certain impact on the programming and preparation of the limb movement. Thus it would be appropriate to adopt a tool, which can concomitantly assess the cerebellar function and movement preparation, to investigate the patients with ET. In this proposal, we will record movement-related cortical potentials (MRCP) in ET patients. MRCP is a slow negative shift starting 1-1.5 sec before volitional movement. It consists of at least 3 subcomponents, the Bereitschaftspotential, the negative slope, and the motor potential. The generators crucial for the generation of MRCP include cerebellum, motor and motor association cortex. Thus MRCP seems to be an appropriate tool to assess the patients with ET, in whom the trivial cerebellar functional alternation could be responsible for the tremor generation and motor preparation might be hampered concomitantly. In this proposal, in addition to the conventional MRCP recording, the dipoles and sources of the different subcomponents of MRCP will also be analyzed with the brain electric source analysis (BESA) to evaluate the difference in the solutions and source strength underlying the MRCP between normal controls and patients with ET.

Crime, Ann Margolin's Top Campaign Issue
Mitchell Rasansky and Ann Margolin
Few weeks back, we directed you to an online survey Dallas City Council candidate Ann Margolin was taking as she vies for Mitchell Rasansky's District 13 seat at the horseshoe. Well, the results are in, and Margolin writes in a mass e-mail sent to her would-be constituency today that the No. 1 issue facing voters come May is .... crime! "By far." As in: "The bottom line: We need to add officers, put them on the street, and give them the tools they need to fight crime! Their presence will move our police force to PREVENTING crime, not just RESPONDING to it." The full missive, which includes her other Top Four issues, follows.
Margolin today discovered the ballot will be one candidate lighter, following Raj Narayanan's decision to bow out; it's a two-person race now, and already the well-funded Brint Ryan has signs planted throughout District 13. Super Dave ain't callin' this "the most expensive and competitive district-level council race in city history" for nothing.
Two hundred seventy seven people have taken my "Top Five Issues Facing Dallas" survey. Thank you! While the survey was not scientific (scroll down to the bottom for results), it validated the concerns I've heard from residents across our district: Crime is the top issue by far.
The bottom line: We need to add officers, put them on the street, and give them the tools they need to fight crime! Their presence will move our police force to PREVENTING crime, not just RESPONDING to it.
Overall Dallas crime dropped an average of 10% this year. We can applaud this progress, however looking at comparable Texas and US cities, our crime statistics are still high. I understand the scope of this issue and will work to fight crime by: Growing our police force from 3400 to 4000 officers which translates to about 3 officers per thousand residents, up from the current 2.6. Continuing recruitment incentives and monitoring other cities and law enforcement agencies in order to remain competitive. Supporting our police with improved equipment, technology and training. For example:
--Police cars last year were often out of service due to age and need for repairs.
--Our existing data base often fails to identify individuals with arrest warrants when they are stopped for traffic violations.
Supporting the juvenile curfew law proposed by the Dallas City Council's Public Safety Committee. Reduing [sic] truancy will reduce crime. Supporting neighborhood associations and crime watch groups because they help police bring crime down. We deserve to be safe in our homes and on our streets. When it comes to ridding District 13 of crime, I've already been at work, getting people together and getting things done.
--I have a proven track record when it comes to dealing with > neighborhood crime. I've been a crime victim recently myself and I have zero tolerance for those who want to harm the quality of life in our area.
--As a Park Board member I spent more time working with neighborhoods to fight crime in the parks than anything else I did. When neighbors around Peter Pan Park complained about drug dealers in the park I got the police together with the neighbors. The police increased patrols and made 6 arrests for drug dealing within the next 3 weeks.
--When neighbors near Jamestown Park heard gun shots in the park I went with crime watch leaders to visit Assistant Chief Elliston at the North Central Division. The police increased patrols and the gun shots stopped.
Over 129 of you left comments on the survey. You and your neighbors told me you are concerned about the state of education and schools, property taxes, arts and culture as well as enviromental [sic] issues. I share a tremendous interest in these areas as well and will share my thoughts with you in upcoming emails.

Honorary degree for Sara Cox
Radio One presenter Sara Cox has picked up an honorary degree from the University of Bolton.
She was given a doctorate for her contributions to broadcasting.
Sara's proud parents watched from the audience with her daughter, Lola, as she was presented with her certificate by the University Vice-Chancellor, Dr George Holme, at the winter degree ceremony, held at Bolton's Victoria Hall.
Sara, a former pupil at Canon Slade School in the town, said: "I'm really proud to be receiving this award. I didn't go to university, I only got as far as my A-levels.
"But there are a lot of students here who have worked really hard for their awards."
She added: "I love coming home to Bolton. I always look forward to driving around Little Lever, looking at the spots where I grew up – where I learnt to ride my bike without stabilisers, or where I used to meet up with boys."

NPR Still Fondly Remembering Hugo Chavez, And Agreeing White Skin = 'Imperialism'
Thatcher, Schmatcher. NPR is still obsessing over its loss of leftist Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez. On Wednesday's Morning Edition, anchor Steve Inskeep reported from Caracas and interviewed Rory Carroll, a journalist with a new book on Chavez called "Comandante."
Inskeep somehow downplayed Chavez's iron grip on the country's press organs, because hey, the love of the poor people was genuine: "Well, let me ask about ordinary Venezuelans, because this obviously was a man who had the machinery of the government in his control, had a lot of television stations, had a lot of talent in producing propaganda. But isn't it true that he also had genuine, bedrock support, even love, among a lot of Venezuelans?"
Carroll agreed: "Oh, without a doubt. I would say about a third of Venezuelans adored him, right from the beginning, until the end. And it's impressive."
But the oddest part of the interview came when Carroll recalled that Chavez reveled in his skin color, and that the author's white skin made him a perfect "stand-in agent of imperialism":
INSKEEP: Now, you also said that one of the ways that Chavez connected to the poor was that he looked like them. What did you mean by that?
CARROLL: That his skin was brown, that he had indigenous and African slave ancestry, and he was very proud of it, and I think rightly so. And he would often allude to this. He - one time, when I was on his television show, I had a sort of clash with him. I asked him a question which he didn't like. And in a long, long answer to me, he at one point showed his arm and said, look at the color of my skin. Look who I am.
I am of this land, and this is my heritage - meaning that he was not of the pale-skinned elites, or these kind of blond, blue-eyed Venezuelans who had so often certainly dominated media and business. And he felt that the color of his skin showed that he was one of the people.
INSKEEP: And I guess if he's talking on television with a pale-skinned guy like you, he wasn't going to miss the opportunity to point out the contrast.
CARROLL: I was a perfect fall guy in the sense that, yes, I'm Irish, freckly and blond - or ginger, if you like. I was, in that sense, a perfect foil as a stand-in agent of imperialism.
That is just one of those classic leftist NPR moments. Carroll is not a total shill for Hugo Chavez, but then he told Inskeep that when he felt the need to point out Chavez was ruining the country, his leftist editors started debating the point:
INSKEEP: Well, when I was thinking about this assignment that you received in 2006, and continued for about half a dozen years, you write for The Guardian, which is one of the famous liberal newspapers of the world. And I wondered if your paper was sympathetic to Chavez as a figure of the left, at least at the beginning.
CARROLL: Well, it's a good question. Yes, at the beginning, and I think most liberals and right-thinking people would have been, in his first couple of years in power. There was plenty of reason to give him any benefit of the doubt. Now, over time, when he became a bit more oppressive, shutting down television stations, and when the wheels kind of began to come off the economy in some ways, I, in my own reporting, became very critical, just reflecting what I saw on the ground.
And this prompted quite a debate in my newspaper, because a lot of editors feel and felt that we should have supported Hugo Chavez, because he was a standard-bearer for the left. Whereas I, just very close up, I thought, well, no, actually, because, sadly, he's running the country into the ground, and we have to report that.
Inskeep just had to change the subject: "As incompetent as you say that Chavez's economic management proved to be, Chavez was a great showman." Carroll agreed: "He was extraordinary as a showman."

Compared with many of Redlands' venerable charitable institutions, the Redlands Conservancy is a relative newcomer. Yet, at 20 years old, the organization has already made its mark.
The year 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of the Redlands Conservancy. Formed to provide a non-political venue for historic preservation activities, the organization with Bob Clark as its president was dedicated to the "protection and enhancement of those assets that exemplify or constitute a part of the historic, architectural or cultural heritage of Redlands," according to the bylaws that add, "We will strive to help our community realize the full economic, social and aesthetic potential of these assets."
The latter statement asserts the Conservancy's big-picture scope. The organization doesn't save old buildings and citrus groves, canyons and hills as a trendy thing to do, rather, it understands that conserving significant portions of these assets make good economic sense for the community and for property owners.
Together with enhancing a high quality of life, the economic benefits of preservation and conservation have always been at the core of what the Conservancy does, according to Executive Director Sherli Leonard.
Since the first year, the Conservancy has been directly involved in the saving of six buildings from demolition, has taken ownership of more than 100 acres of undeveloped land, received a conservation easement on the historic 5-acre Fisk-Burgess citrus grove and another easement on more than 200 acres of city-owned natural open space and has developed and maintained approximately 20 miles of urban and rural trails for Redlanders and visitors to use and enjoy.
Partnerships with the city of Redlands, County of San Bernardino, University of Redlands, Esri, Cal Fire, Redlands Area Historical Society, The Grove School, the National Park Service, Southern California Edison, the Beaver Medical Group and the Redlands Community Music Association, among other agencies and groups, have enabled the Conservancy to do many things for the community.
Throughout 2014, the Conservancy will celebrate its accomplishments and its opportunities to continue to make a difference for Redlands.
During this year, the Conservancy will revisit discussions published in the first and only newsletter from 1994, including "Rehabilitation Economics," the original proposal for the Mission Gables House, and the effect of demolition on real estate value. There will be interviews original members who are still with the organization and the five original board members still serving.
The celebrations will focus on major events, including the 2014 annual meeting on April 16, the 2014 Parties for the Necklace kickoff event, also on April 16, and the annual social on Sept. 27.

U-17 MNT Prepares for Group Play Finale vs. Ivory Coast at FIFA World Championship
U.S. Under-17 MNT Pre-Game Notes
Lima, Peru
Sept. 22, 2005
LOOKING FOR FIRST: After traveling from Chiclayo to Lima yesterday, the U.S. Under-17 MNT held their second training session this morning at Estadio Nacional, the venue for their third and final Group C match of the FIFA U-17 World Championship on Friday, Sept. 23 against Ivory Coast. Kickoff is 3:30 p.m. CT and the match will be televised live on Fox Soccer Channel and delayed on Galavision at 7 p.m. ET/PT. Fans can also follow the match live on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker, presented by Philips Electronics.
GROUP C STANDINGS: The U.S. is poised to finish atop Group C going into their match against Ivory Coast, but interestingly they could still end up in second place behind either North Korea or Italy, the two teams they've already defeated in group play. If the U.S. were to lose and North Korea or Italy won, the teams would be tied on six points and first place would be decided by tie-breakers (goal differential is the first tiebreaker followed by goals scored). With zero points through their first two games, Ivory Coast has been mathematically eliminated from moving on to the second round. Below are the scenarios which guarantee the U.S. a first place finish in Group C without the need of tiebreakers:
• A victory or draw against Ivory Coast
• A loss against Ivory Coast AND a draw between Italy and North Korea FIFA U-17 World Championship, Group C
Team GP W L T GF GA GD Pts.

MEET YOU IN THE QUARTERS: While it is uncertain whether the U.S. will finish first or second in Group C, they do know they will be playing their quarterfinal match on Monday, Sept. 26 against a team from Group D. If they finish first, they will play the second place team from Group D in Trujillo. Should they finish second, they will take on the first place team in Group D in Iquitos. Gambia sits in the best position with six points after two games, while the Netherlands and Brazil are still hoping to win the group or finish in second as they both sit at three points. Qatar has yet to score a point, but still has an outside chance to finish in second place if they can defeat Brazil big and Gambia defeats the Netherlands, enabling them to jump up two spots with three points and a better goal differential.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW: With the U.S. U-17s ready to close out group play on Friday against Ivory Coast and move into Monday's quarterfinals, we thought this would be as good a time as any to introduce fans to the team, "Monday Night Football" style. The players' personalities come through as they dance, joke and stumble their way through their own introductions in front of a tough crowd: their teammates (watch). It's the latest all_access video, exclusive content available only on ussoccer.com.
AUDIO DIARY THREE: After defeating Italy, traveling to Lima and conducting their first practice at Estadio Nacional, Blake Wagner and Quavas Kirk sat down with ussoccer.com to update fans on what's going on behind the scenes in their third audio diary podcast. Find out what was being said in the locker room during halftime against Italy, just how much the Peruvians love Vicky the Vicuna, who took a sneak peek at the team's practice and what two players on the team have drawn the most interest from the Peruvian girls. [Podcast Archive]
ITALY COACHCAST: The U.S. might have surprised some doubters with their impressive 3-1 victory over Italy, but for head coach John Hackworth and the rest of the U-17 coaching staff, the game unfolded just as they planned it (well, almost). In the second installment of ussoccer.com's newest podcast segment, "CoachCast," Hackworth and assistant Keith Fulk take a critical look at their match vs. Italy, from pre-game preparations to their halftime adjustments and post-game remarks. [CoachCast Archive]
SCOUTING IVORY COAST: U.S. assistant coach Tim Mulqueen once again sits down with ussoccer.com to give his scouting report on the USA's next opponent, Ivory Coast. Find out what Mulqueen sees as Ivory Coast's strengths and tendencies and what to expect from the African championship third-place finisher. [Podcast Archive]
SAFE ON CARDS: The U.S. has three players holding a single yellow card after the team's first two matches. Michael Farfan and Blake Wagner were booked against North Korea, while David Arvizu was shown a card in the Italy match, which means no one is in danger of missing the quarterfinal match due to a single caution they may receive against Ivory Coast. During the tournament, a player must amass three cautions (not the customary two) before serving a one-game suspension. Ivory Coast is holding four yellow cards, but those will not figure into the game at all as Ivory Coast cannot advance.
MEANT TO BE BROKEN (OR TIED): Going into their final group match of the tournament, the U.S. has the chance to set, or at least tie, a few team records in world championship play:
• The U.S. has already scored six goals and three more would break the record for the most goals scored during group play. The U.S. set the current record of eight goals in the first round of play during the 1993 tournament before tying that number two years ago in Finland.
• The U.S. can become just the second team to win all three of their group games with a win over Ivory Coast, a feat that the 1991 team pulled off in Italy.
• With at least a tie, the U.S. would become the third team to go undefeated in group play, joining the 1991 team and the 4th place 1999 squad, who also went 2-0-1.
• With a victory, t goal differential, tying their best goal differential in group play set in 1991.
ANOTHER PACKED HOUSE: The U.S. played in front of another packed crowd at Estadio Elias Aguirre Romero when they faced Italy in their second group match on Tuesday. Despite playing on a weekday, the crowd (15,240) was actually larger (by 40 fans to be exact) than it was last Saturday for their opening match against North Korea, played before 15,200 fans. The combined attendance of 30,440 is the largest for back-to-back games in which the U.S. has played during a FIFA World Championship since the first two games of the 1997 tournament in Egypt, which was 42,000 (22,000 and 20,000). The U.S. has played in front of more fans during the first two games in Peru than it did in its four matches during the 2003 tournament in Finland.
IN THE RECORD BOOKS: Ryan Soroka entered the FIFA record books when he scored the 1,000th goal in the history of the U-17 World Championship with his open-net finish in the 90th minute against Italy. Soroka was informed of the mark after the game, stating "it's pretty cool that I'll be part of the history of this tournament forever."
NAH-NAH-NAH, NAH-NAH-NAH: Midfielder Kyle Nakazawa's 25-yard free-kick goal was highlighted on ESPN Deportes' "Top Ten" on Tuesday night. The superb curling shot, which went over the wall into the upper left corner, was No. 5 on the countdown.
• The U.S. has played Ivory Coast once before during a FIFA U-17 World Championship, falling 1-0 in their second match of the 1987 competition, which was played in Canada.
• Overall, the U.S. has a 1-5-0 record against African teams in World Championship play, with two goals for and nine goals against. Their only victory, and goals, came against Sierra Leone two years ago when Freddy Adu pulled out a dramatic 2-1 victory by scoring in the final minute.
• The U.S. faced Ivory Coast once before during this two-year cycle, losing 1-0 to the African nation in the Mondial Minimes Montaigu Vendee Tournament in Montaigu, France
• There were seven players who played in that match that are on the World Championship roster: Jeremy Hall, Ofori Sarkodie, Gabriel Farfan, Preston Zimmerman, Kevin Alston, Ryan Soroka and Quavas Kirk.
• The U.S. has played 11 of the 15 teams competing in the World Championship over the past two years. The four teams the U.S. has not played are Qatar, Turkey, Ghana and the Netherlands.
• Against those 11 teams, the U.S. holds a 9-6-1 record in 16 matches.
• The two other times the U.S. has won their first two games of the tournament (1991 and 2003), they finished in fifth place.
• Kyle Nakazawa scored the sixth international goal of his career when he buried a free kick against Italy, his second straight as he tallied off an indirect free kick against North Korea in USA's opening match. All six of his goals have come this year, and have come on the biggest of stages with four of the six coming either in qualifying or the world championship.
• Preston Zimmerman increased his team lead to 33 points (12 goals, nine assists) with an assist on Ryan Soroka's third goal against Italy.
• Defender Ofori Sarkodie notched his fourth international goal with his opening goal against Italy. The goal was his first since 2004.
• When the U.S. steps out onto the field against Ivory Coast, it will mark their 39th appearance in a U-17 World Championship match, moving them past Argentina and into sole possession of second place all-time. Brazil will increase its total for the most appearances when it takes the field for the 48th time against Qatar on Friday.
• The U.S. record in World Championship play now stands at 15-18-5, with 56 goals scored and 66 goals against.
• U.S. head coach John Hackworth increased his international record to 14-3-1 after defeating North Korea.
• In those 14 victories, Hackworth has managed to defeat 11 different countries
HOW THEY GOT HERE: Back in the FIFA U-17 World Championship after an 18-year absence, Ivory Coast had high hopes of matching the exploits of their predecessors in 1987, when the Ivorians finished in third place after losing to the Soviet Union in the semifinals. The fans of the 'Baby Elephants' had little to cheer about since then, until this year's African U-17 Championship as Ivory Coast earned the last available ticket to Peru 2005 by finishing in third place. The 'Baby Elephants' got their campaign under way with a comfortable 2-0 win over Zimbabwe, before creating one of the sensations of the tournament. Edging out the favorites Nigeria 3-2 in a thrilling match, they booked their place in the last four and could then afford to lose their last Group B game 1-0 to South Africa.
Pitted against Ghana in the semifinals, the clash lived up to its promise, and it was in extra time that the 'Black Starlets' finally emerged victorious. Out of the running for the continental title, but with one last place at the global event still up for grabs, Ivory Coast had to pick themselves up quickly for a second meeting with South Africa in the match for third place. Once again, they found themselves in an extremely tight encounter, but just as it seemed that extra time was in the cards, Kouadio Konan popped up to net a priceless, late winner.

U.S.-IVORY COAST HISTORY: This will be the second match against Ivory Coast for the U.S. Under-17s as the two countries faced off a year-and-a-half ago in the Mondial Minimes Montaigu Vendee Tournament in Montaigu, France. The U.S. fell 1-0 in their first meeting, their final group match of the tournament, despite having a 9-3 shot advantage. The U.S. and Ivory Coast also have a history in the FIFA U-17 World Championship as they have faced off once before during the 1987 tournament in Canada. The two teams met in the second group match, with Ivory Coast pulling out a tight 1-0 win.
STAR PLAYER: Called the "Star of the future in African football," the bar has been set high for Ivory Coast's Ismael Beko Fofana. So far, he's wooed onlookers, scoring four goals in qualifying and already one in the world championship. A product of Asec Abidjan's Mimos Sifcom academy, Fofana may not be the most powerful forward, but he's got a knack for finding the goal.
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY: The only other time Ivory Coast played in a FIFA U-17 World Championship was Canada '87, but they made the most of it with an impressive performance that saw them make their way through to the semifinals and eventually claim third place. After an opening 1-1 draw with South Korea, the 'Baby Elephants' downed the U.S. and Ecuador by identical 1-0 scorelines. They cruised through their quarterfinal match with a 3-0 defeat over Qatar, only to fall 5-1 to a fantastic Soviet Union side which eventually won the entire tournament. Ivory Coast bounced back in the third place match, defeating Italy 2-1 in overtime.
FIRST GROUP GAMES: Ivory Coast's opening match against Italy qualified as an instant classic as there were goals aplenty (seven total), and back-and forth drama including three tallies in the final five minutes. Ivory Coast was able to respond to Italy's first three tallies, but ran out of time after Italy's final strike in the 89th minute to fall 4-3 in Chiclayo. In the 'Baby Elephants' next match, they were unable to respond at any time as North Korea scored three goals while securing a shutout.

This Sporting Life #14
The extraordinary Sandy Koufax ices the elbow before fear of a life doped up on cortisone forced him into early retirement after the 1966 season.

Hate to be a pill, but Koufax retired after 1966, not '65.

Not at all, thanks for catching the typo. I'm a huge Koufax fan and should've scanned the copy before publishing.

I saw an interview once with Willie Mays on Koufax. Sandy had two pitches: a fastball and a curve, which he threw differently. Mays always knew what was coming because Sandy was tipping his pitches, but Mays said it didn't matter since he couldn't hit either one.

I love Yogi Berra's quote after the 1963 season that saw Koufax pitch 30 full games with a record of 25 won. Koufax's Dodgers met Berra's Yankees in the World Series that year and swept them. Afterwards Berra said, "I can see how he won 25 games. What I can't understand is how he lost 5!"

Greg, I recently saw Marichal interviewed on MLB network and he was discussing the 1968 season where he lost the Cy Young to Bob Gibson, who went 22-9 with a 1.12 ERA. Juan said he could never figure out how Gibson lost 9 games the way he pitched that year.

Going Mainstream: Are Consumers Driving Sustainable Corporate Behavior?
A few months back, I did a piece on the Good Guide and how it might be helpful to consumers as they made decisions. I certainly had fun playing with the Good Guide on my iPad at my home, but when it came time to use it in the grocery store – between scanning each item, the time it took to execute a query in the database, the fact that many items are not in the database, and then interpreting the result – I'm not certain it was worth it.
