Students in the Community Enterprise Clinic provide legal assistance to nonprofit organizations and small businesses that cannot pay market rates for legal services. The clinic is of special interest to those interested in community development, in learning to work with organizational clients, and in learning how to represent clients in transactions.
The emphasis is on planning: Students work to understand clients' hopes and aspirations, help them anticipate and solve problems, and educate them about their responsibilities as heads of nonprofits or businesses. Interested students can also participate in special projects, such as a clinic-sponsored conference to identify and address barriers to microenterprise.
Clinic students prepare for their client work in the following ways:
Students also learn the substantive law about forming and operating nonprofit organizations and small businesses; think through the distinctive interviewing, counseling, and ethical issues that arise in representing organizations rather than individuals; and, above all, practice how to interview and counsel a group client. They also learn to draft documents, focusing on writing that is precise, economical, and comprehensible to their clients. In class and in supervision meetings, students explore many important lawyering issues through the lens of their cases: decision-making under conditions of uncertainty, the allocation of power between lawyers and clients, and the challenges in representing groups whose members disagree.
Some of the clinic's clients are young, nonprofit organizations that need help in choosing appropriate entities for the conduct of their programs, developing governance structures, securing tax exemptions, and complying with regulatory requirements. Others are more mature groups that need help addressing the legal issues arising from changes such as expansion, creation of a national program, or initiation of income-generating activities. Recent nonprofit clients have included Housing Plus Solutions, an organization that helps women leaving prison or long-term treatment programs, and UHAB Housing Development Fund Corporation, an organization that rehabilitates tax-foreclosed buildings and sells them as low-income cooperatives to tenants. Other clients have included individuals operating small businesses such as family day care, catering companies, and printing shops. These clients are primarily located in disadvantaged neighborhoods in New York City, such as Harlem, Washington Heights, and the South Bronx. They seek the clinic's assistance to form appropriate business structures, enter into contracts, and comply with regulatory requirements. Students also offer seminars and workshops for entrepreneurs on corporate and tax issues.
Emily Flores was one of many women in low-income communities with the imagination and drive to create a small business. She first came to the clinic for help in creating non-compete and non-disclosure agreements to protect the special recipes and techniques used in her home-based pastry business. The success of this business inspired her to try to start a café in her Bronx neighborhood. Clinic students helped Flores think through the right structure for her business, given the desire for equity participation by both the chef and a lender, and then drafted a certificate of incorporation, bylaws, and a shareholders agreement, all in plain language and tailored to Flores's particular circumstances. The clinic also represented the business in taking over a lease to a storefront and in closing a loan for the rehabilitation of the space. Today, the business is thriving and the students who worked with Flores have the satisfaction of having helped a dynamic woman achieve her dream and contribute to the commercial vitality of a Bronx community.
Nicole Altman '07 and Tiana Murillo '07 wanted to go beyond the classroom experience and do practical work that would have a positive effect on people's lives. Their wishes were fulfilled by a startup community development group in Brooklyn, called Helping Young People Excel, Inc. (HYPE).

Insurers are just starting to use intelligent machines—information systems that sense, comprehend, act and learn—to automate some of the more routine, rules-based tasks that take up so much of managers' time. The vast majority (85 percent) of managers believe such machines will make them more effective as digital insurers and their work more interesting.
Yet many managers have an incomplete understanding of what they will need to thrive in a partnership with intelligent machines as part of the workforce of the future. They recognize the importance of technical skills and strategic expertise, but may be overlooking the human element. This infographic shows what insurance executives think about the shift to intelligent machines.

MBA Mondays: Revenue Models - Advertising
My friend Darren Herman helped me think about this post. He sent me this deck along with some thoughts. This slide from Darren's deck is a good place to start this discussion:
It is true that the vast majority of consumer web apps have been and continue to be monetized with advertising. On mobile that is less true, but becoming more true every day.
There are all sorts of ways to generate advertising revenue online. Here are the entries under the advertising category in our revenue model hackpad:
This list is most certainly not exhaustive but it does cover the most common advertising approaches and you can see how many there are on the Internet. There has been a lot of innovation in this sector in the past 18 years since the first banner ads were created and sold.
The famous Luma Partners slide shows just how complex the online ad market has become over time.
And this market map is by no means exhaustive either. Online advertising is a big and complicated business.
I would break up advertising into two big buckets; ads that are sold and ads that are bought. The first is a relationship business, requires a direct salesforce or a salesforce that you can tap into, and will bring a higher revenue per impression in most cases. The latter is a data business, automated by machines and software, is a volume game and will bring a lower revenue per impression in most cases. Much of the online advertising market is moving inexorably toward the latter category, for good and bad.
The reaction to this move away from high value "brand" advertising to commoditized and programmatic advertising is native ad formats and advertising models. I have written about native advertising at AVC before and am a big fan of this approach. Examples of native advertising are promoted tweets on twitter and radar and spotlight on tumblr. In both examples, the ad unit is the same atomic unit of content as the users create in the service. I think we will see more and more of this as the value of the impression is driven lower and lower in the programmatic model.
When you think about an advertising revenue model, you need to think about one of two things; scale or niche. Scale means hundreds of millions of impressions a month or more. Niche means a valuable audience that advertisers will pay a premium for. But even if you are going for the niche approach, you will still need to have a lot of impressions. Here is why:
Advertising is sold many ways, including:
CPM: Cost per thousand impressions
CPE: Cost per engagement
CPA: Cost per acquisition
CPC: Cost per click
Sponsorship: Fixed cost for a fixed program
[thanks to Darren for that list. I took it directly from his email to me]
With the possible exception of Sponsorship, all of these methods will converge to the same number. For example if you sell a click for $1/click, and one out of every hundred page views turns into a click then you are selling a page view for $1/100 (1 cent), and that turns into a $10 CPM (10/1000).
CPMs have been in decline for years on the Internet. That's because the Internet keeps on creating more and more inventory. There is no scarcity. And as a result the supply/demand clearing price just keeps going lower and lower. Ten years ago, a $10 CPM was acheivable. Today, you will be lucky to get a $1 CPM. A $1 CPM means that 10 million impressions will generate $10,000. That's enough revenue to sustain a one or possibly two person business but not much more. You will need at least 100 million impressions and ideally more than 1bn impressions per month to have an interesting advertising supported business at scale. 1bn impressions is a lot of users using your service a lot.
Niche will work at slightly less scale. If you have a unique and valuable audience, you might be able to get a $5 to $10 CPM. So you will need 100 million impressions per month instead of 1bn impressions. That's still a lot of super valuable users engaging a lot.
If you are going with a scale model and you have a service that has that level of inventory to sell, then you have the choice of building a sales force inside your company or using a third party to sell your inventory. You don't need just one third party. You can use many of them. That's where the Luma slide (above) comes into effect. There is an entire industry built to take the inventory you give to a third party and put it through endless machines and algorithms before it is shown to an end user. I will not get into this in more detail here but Darren's slide deck, which I linked to above, has some good information on that. When you use a third party to sell your advertising you can give away anywhere from 50% of ad revenue to 20% of ad revenue. Most commonly it is somewhere in between.
If you are going with the niche or native approach, you will need your own sales force and you will need to hire a leader for that sales force (a VP Sales or Chief Revenue Officer) who can build and lead that team. The sales leader is a critical hire. There are people who do this for a living, who really understand how to put a team together and generate advertising revenue predictably and reliably, and they are highly compensated and are worth every penny. Do not skimp on this if you are building your own sales force. You may choose to build your own sales force if you are going with a scale model, but you don't need to do that right away.
In the interest of keeping this post a reasonable length, I will end here. I highly recommend diving into the comments where we will discuss and debate this post. I will conclude by saying that an advertising model is a viable revenue model option if you are building a service that has a lot of scale. But if you don't have millions of users a month, you should think hard before going in this direction. There is a limited amount of ad dollars out there (except CPA budgets which are in theory infinite) and more and more services trying to tap into them every day which is why advertising rates on the Internet seem to be in permanent and systemic decline.

KANSAS CITY, Missouri - A devastating drought deepened over the last week in many areas, spreading through more of the Plains and going into the Midwest as triple-digit temperatures baked already thirsty crops and livestock.
The Corn Belt states of South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana saw drought develop quickly as the important corn-growing region got only spotty rainfall amid the high heat, according to the weekly U.S. Drought Monitor, produced by a consortium of national climate experts.
Abnormal dryness intensified to moderate drought over the last week, according to the report.
Texas remained the epicenter of unprecedented drought, with climate data showing the state suffering its driest 10 months ever in over a century of data.
Levels of "extreme" and "exceptional" drought grew to 94.27 percent of the state from 91.73 percent over the last week, Drought Monitor reported.
"This is unprecedented territory, as the precipitation deficits mount, and triple-digit temperatures continue to increase water demand," it said.
Since January, Texas has received only 40 percent of its normal rainfall, according to the National Weather Service.
Oklahoma also saw conditions worsen, with extreme and exceptional drought now spread through 92.88 percent of the state, up from 88.10 percent.
The deadly drought and triple-digit temperatures have broken numerous records and left the southern Plains and Mississippi Valley struggling to meet demand for power and water, while causing billions of dollars in damage to crops and livestock.
Weather experts attribute the drought to last year's La Nina, the weather anomaly which is typically followed by about a 10 percent drop in precipitation.

In the documentary "The Gatekeepers," six surviving former heads of Shin Bet, the highly secretive Israeli domestic counterterrorism agency, are interviewed about their histories, which, inevitably, also encompass Israel's history in the wake of the 1967 war, when the agency was put in charge of counterintelligence in the West Bank and Gaza.
Although many of these men, who variously ran the agency from 1980 through 2011, have spoken out prior to being interviewed here, "The Gatekeepers," directed by Dror Moreh, represents the first full-scale documentation of their political lives. It's an eye-opener.
Contrary to what one might be led to believe, the men are for the most part highly conflicted about their pasts.
"We all have our moments," says Yuval Diskin. "Maybe you're shaving and you think, 'I make a decision and X number of people are killed.' " He goes on: "The power to take lives in an instant, there's something unnatural about it."
All of the men interviewed – Avraham Shalom, Yaakov Peri, Carmi Gillon, Ami Ayalon, Avi Dichter, and Diskin – come across as ruminative and, in varying degrees, remorseful. They share a belief in the curtailment of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and the granting of Palestinian statehood. They believe Israeli politicians have not done enough to make this happen. Peri, who ran Shin Bet from 1988 to 1994, during the first intifada leading to the Oslo peace accords, says: "You knock on doors in the middle of the night – these moments end up etched deep inside you. I think, after retiring from this job, you become a leftist."
But their attitudes are much more complicated than this. Shalom, for example, in his 80s, is characterized by some in the film as a tyrant despite the fact that, with his cuddly jowls and red suspenders, he might have stepped out of an Israeli Pepperidge Farm commercial.
About the aftermath of the Six Day War, in which more than a million Palestinians suddenly came under military rule, he says, dryly: "When the Arabs surrendered, we had no enemy. It was lucky for us. We had work."
His Waterloo was the 1984 Bus 300 incident, in which two Palestinians hijacked a bus from Tel Aviv to Ashkelon, were captured, interrogated, and then executed, leading to a national uproar. "With terrorists, there are no morals," he says. "In the war against terror, forget about morality."
Ayalon has contempt for that attitude, saying "We killed them with their hands tied."
The terrorism described in the film is not exclusively the province of Palestinians. We also hear of the West Bank Settlers group known as the Jewish Underground, who were caught placing bombs on Palestinian buses in Jerusalem and planned to obliterate the Dome of the Rock. The light prison sentences these men received is a source of anger to the gatekeepers. Another lingering source of rage and woe is the 1995 assassination by an Orthodox Jew of Yitzhak Rabin, the only prime minister who, according to the gatekeepers, genuinely wanted Palestinian statehood.
The pessimism pervading this film is summed up by Shalom, who says, speaking of the decades of occupation: "The future is very dark."
Moreh told me at the Sundance Film Festival this year that he is planning to turn the movie into a five-part Israeli television series and a book. Although the film is shortlisted for an Oscar for best documentary, he has not heard from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who, according to a spokesman quoted in The New York Times Jan. 27, has no plans to see the film.
But perhaps if enough Israelis see the film, the grave issues brought forward by these former Shin Bet leaders will resonate in ways that will make the future a little less dark. Grade: A- (Rated PG-13 for violent content including disturbing images.)

Kings deal Monarchs' Loktionov // The Union Leader
Clark, Ian.
Russian center Andrei Loktionov got his wish on Wednesday by getting traded from the Los Angeles Kings organization to the New Jersey Devils for a fifth round draft pick.
Loktionov has reportedly requested a trade several times, most recently last week.
He finished last season with the Kings during their Stanley Cup run, but played just two games in the playoffs, both in the first round against Vancouver. He did not get his name engraved on the Cup.
When the NHL lockout ended, Loktionov remained a member of the Manchester Monarchs and was not called up to the parent club. Through 37 games in Manchester this season Loktionov had seven goals and 15 assists for 22 points.
"Andrei's got a ton of potential and for whatever reason, things just haven't unfolded for him in a way that everybody has projected it to," said Monarchs head coach Mark Morris. "He's a talented hockey player. Perhaps a fresh start will rekindle his career and give him the opportunity that's going to get him on the right track to an NHL career."
The 22-year-old Loktionov was a fifth round pick by the Kings in 2008, 123rd overall. He made a splash in his professional debut, netting a hat trick with the Monarchs in the 2009 season opener.
Loktionov had sporadic opportunities with the Kings over the past three-plus seasons, skating in 59 NHL games and scoring seven goals and seven assists. Shoulder injuries and an aborted move to wing slowed his progress and Loktionov often found himself in Kings' coach Darryl Sutter's doghouse.
Meanwhile, Loktionov's countryman and close friend Slava Voynov, whom Loktionov roomed with in Manchester, has made it work in L.A. with a regular shift on the Kings' blue line.
"I'm sure there was some frustration on Andrei's part, especially being so close to Slava and other guys that he's played with over time (who are in L.A.)," Morris said. "We were hoping that his experience here in Manchester would ignite that flame in him to hit his stride and really blossom and develop the confidence to play at the NHL level. Obviously, it's something that we can't control here in Manchester right now."
Los Angeles received a fifth round pick for Loktionov, which seems fair considering that Loktionov himself was a fifth rounder. But the time and effort put into Loktionov's development is lost.
But moving an unhappy player that doesn't fit your future plans isn't always easy, so Los Angeles took what it could get and called it a day. In the end, it was likely the best outcome anyone could expect and now Loktionov has a fresh start in a New Jersey system that could use some help at center.
In other transaction news for the Monarchs on Wednesday, veteran defenseman Andrew Campbell finally got his long-awaited call-up to Los Angeles. Andrew Bodnarchuk was sent down, so the Monarchs (who host Providence Saturday for "Pink in the Rink" night) won't be short on defensemen.
An assistant captain, Campbell has been with Manchester since 2009 and could make his NHL debut with L.A. tonight when the Kings visit Nashville (and former Monarch Rich Clune). Campbell is a capable penalty killer and shot-blocker and popular locker room presence.
"We're excited for him," Morris said. "Soupy has been waiting for this call for some time. He's been a key member of our defensive corps for several years now and I talked to him and wanted to make sure he put his best foot forward and took full advantage of his chance to show what he can do."
The Monarchs also called up goalie J.F. Berube after Peter Mannino suffered an injury after taking a slap shot to the leg in practice Wednesday. Mannino is not expected to be out too long and Martin Jones will likely play both games this weekend.

If You Have Health Insurance Today, You Can Keep It (or Not)
During his speech yesterday to the American Medical Association in Chicago, President Obama said not once, but twice that if you have health insurance today and like it, you will be able to keep it under his reform. Shortly afterwards, the congressional budget Office released its initial scoring of the health care bill drafted by Sen. Edward Kennedy (D‑MA) and the Senate Committee on Health Education Labor and Pensions (HELP), concluding that it would result in roughly 23 million people losing the insurance they currently have.

Potential impact of Mubarak retrial
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's highest appeals court on Sunday overturned Hosni Mubarak's conviction and ordered a retrial of the former president for failing to prevent the killing of nearly 900 protesters during the 2011 uprising that toppled his 29-year regime. A look at the potential impact of the decision:
-A retrial can produce a not-guilty verdict, uphold Mubarak's life sentence or reduce it. It cannot stiffen his sentence, however, because defendants cannot draw a heavier sentence when they appeal a conviction. Still, new evidence could lead to the deposed leader being convicted of ordering the crackdown on the protesters, not just failing to prevent it, a scenario that would go a long way toward appeasing victims' families.
-Also facing retrial are Mubarak's security chief, Habib el-Adly, who was in charge of security forces at the time of the uprising, as well as six of el-Adly's top aides — five for their part in the use of deadly force against the protesters and one for "gross negligence." The six top police commanders have been free since their acquittal in June.
-Mubarak, his two sons and a family associate, Hussein Salem, will also face retrial on corruption charges they were earlier acquitted of. The sons— onetime heir apparent Gamal and wealthy businessman Alaa — are in jail while on trial for insider trading and using their influence to buy state land at a fraction of its market price.
-For Mubarak's successor, Islamist Mohammed Morsi, a retrial is likely to be an unwanted distraction as he tries to restore law and order, and grapple with a wrecked economy, as well as the aftermath of last month's deadly debacle over a new constitution drafted by his Islamist allies and hurriedly adopted in an all-night session in late November.
-A retrial could also deny much-needed closure as the still-volatile country prepares for parliamentary elections in about three months which Morsi and his Islamist allies are determined to win. It could also revive calls for a deeper purge of those viewed as holdovers from the old era.
-The issue of the revolution's martyrs is a sensitive one in Egypt, with the families of the victims demanding retribution and compensation. They would be pleased to see Mubarak, el-Adly and the six top police commanders in the defendants' cage again, but there are no guarantees that they will be convicted of ordering the deadly crackdown.

PlanbookEdu necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 139 diseños de 32 diseñadores freelance.
PlanbookEdu.com is an online lesson planner used by thousands of teachers each month. Our site has been around for 6 years, but never had an official logo. We're looking to change that.
Our site is primarily for teachers, kindergarten through 12th grade. Also school administrators visit the site when deciding if it is a good choice for their school system.
Our site is at http://planbookedu.com.
The new logo will replace the existing "logo" in the upper left. The new logo need not match the black/grey striped background - that will change to fit the logo.
The new logo should fit with the general color scheme of the site (minus the top bar), but can use colors not necessarily on the site now.
The logo should be easily adaptable so that it can be used as a Facebook or Twitter avatar, as well as a favicon. An example of what I mean by this is the Facebook logo, which has the main "Facebook" logo, but can use just the "F" for the favicon.
The logo should be clean, modern and professional - not clip arty.
I would like the ".com" to be included in the logo (ie "PlanbookEdu.com"), but it can be faded or subtler then the main text.
Thanks, I can't wait to see the designs!

"Road users should exercise caution when travelling."
According to the Met Office website this evening and tonight in Northern Ireland will see "showers, occasionally heavy with hail" continuing " across the north and west, blown in on a strong north-westerly wind".
"Dry elsewhere though with clear spells, allowing it to turn cold with a frost across Scotland and Northern England," it added.
Meanwhile the Met Office say tomorrow will see "scattered showers" continue at first "locally merging to give some longer spells of heavier rain in places".
"Turning drier and brighter later with winds easing but remaining rather cold," it added.
Meanwhile the Met Office outlook for Friday to Sunday is that it will "be fine after a frosty start on Friday, although cloud and rain will reach Northern Ireland later". "This spreading to all parts on Saturday, before turning drier Sunday. Cool and windy".

NM Medical Board Clears Abortion Doctor of Bogus Negligence Claim by Operation Rescue
The New Mexico Medical Board has exonerated Dr. Shelly Sella of allegations of gross negligence in her handling of a late term abortion in 2011.
The board voted unanimously this morning to exonerate her of the complaint after more than 45 minutes of deliberation. The board gave no explanation for its decision.
The board investigation was spurred not by a complaint from the patient, but from local and national abortion opponents, including Operation Rescue.
The anti-abortion advocates had no first hand information about the case, but submitted a 911 emergency recording to the board as evidence along with recordings of other nearly a dozen 911 calls involving abortions at Albuquerque clinics. The recordings that dated back to 2008 were obtained from the city of Albuquerque through the state Inspection of Public Records Act.
The complete article is here: » Breaking: N.M. Medical Board Clears Abortion Doctor of Negligence Claim
There's a little more about the doctor involved, who worked with Dr. Tiller before his death, here:
Sella, 55, is a native of Israel who graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Sackler School of Medicine in Israel.
Her New Mexico medical licensing file shows three prior medical board investigations in Kansas that were triggered by complaints from the national anti-abortion group, Operation Rescue.
Only one was sustained, involving a handwritten note in a patient's medical file that wasn't legible or sufficient. She was required to take a course on record keeping.
Sella testified at the hearing that she lives in Oakland, Calif., but shares a practice in Albuquerque with Dr. Susan Robinson, who also worked with Tiller.
She and Robinson are featured in a documentary called 'After Tiller' that was screened at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival in January.
Sella testified during the disciplinary hearing that she felt 'bereft' after Tiller was assassinated.
'Why did you continue to provide abortion services?' her attorney Joseph Goldberg asked.
'… I never thought of stopping, very committed to this work,' she responded. 'Everyday that I go to work renews my commitment.'
I don't understand why Operation Rescue should be allowed to bring a case like this to the New Mexico Medical Board. I'm glad the doctor was exonerated. I'm sorry she is being harassed this way.

Not a fan
Here's my PE column that I wrote about Arena's supposed grandiose tenure with the US national team.
I guess I tried to counter some of what Tim Leiweke said about Arena, that the was the best coach in this country or something to the effect. The exact wording is in my column.
Anyway, yes, Arena won two titles but that was in the very early days of MLS. He had a chance to show what he could do with New York and did practically nothing. Okay, getting to the playoffs is an accomplishment, so he accomplished something - two playoff appearances.
But I also tried to break down Arena's coaching record. After all, he won just twice on European soil in his eight years with the national team. And the World Cup disaster was, well, a disaster, something he set in motion with wretched tactics against the Czech Republic.
Arena is a big name and the Galaxy wanted a big name coach. I'm not sure that was the best tactic, though. I think keeping Cobi Jones aboard for the rest of the season would have been the best move. Cobi is a fan favorite and he has the respect of players. And he knows what it means to play for and coach the Galaxy. That might not mean much to AEG but it should.
Oh well. Arena is here and at least now they might have some stability. Since the beginning of the 2006 season, they've already gone through three coaches. Arena is the fourth unless you count Cobi Jones. Seriously, though, I still cant believe Bruce Arena is coaching the Galaxy. Seems very, very strange.
Is there anyone who likes Arena in charge? Am I way off base with my thoughts on Arena?

two more points to support your argument luis:
1. making the playoffs in the mls isn't all that hard, the odds are you make them more than miss. (for the love of god i wish mls would move to a table format, scrap conferences). so pulling that in NY, no biggie.
2. tactics against the Czechs???? how about needing to score to move on against Ghana, and coming out in a defensive 4-5-1, forcing lewis and beasley on the field at the same time!!! i wept upon seeing the lineup.
cobi should've been the choice.

Im glad someone had the balls to say this. Ive never been a fan of Arena either. 2006 was such an embarrassment, maybe i had high hopes, but the let down of the WC hurt.
I worry Beckham wont be a fan of Bruce and Bruce wont like Becks either. That will be a major downfall for us if any friction arises.
If we still had Cobi coaching, at least the team would have banded together for the remainder of the season. What Bruce keeps saying is turning the team around will take time. He keeps saying it as if he doesnt care about this years playoffs. I also worry he is going to dismantle the team once again and start shipping players out for his version of the LAG. Every coach does it. We gave up Hartman which I was against. I could go on and on.

I have always been a fan. He managed very well at UVA and DC United and other than the last six months of his term with the national team, he was very good. We breezed into the World Cup on top of our group which really pissed Mexico off on top of beating Mexico in the World Cup which really pissed Mexico off. The only downer was the lead up to Germany once we had qualified and the poor play in Germany. I think we coasted in and that is his fault.
The European record thing is hard to assess. We could keep playing Poland and rack up the wins or test ourselves against the Spains Italys and Germanys and take the losses along with the experience. Bob Bradley is doing that and I much prefer it to just racking up a good won-loss record.
Finally, I have to admit I don't understand what went wrong with the Red Bulls stint but something did go wrong. Early on he put some life into the team and they made the playoffs. If you look at the Spring of 2007, that team was firing on all cylinders and then they went into a summer swoon they never came out of. Reyna was a bad pick but Angel was an inspired choice. Dane Richards was a great draft pick and Jozy's emergence happened under Arenas. But then he kept tinkering and pretty much obliterated his back line trading away Wynee and Dunivant. Those were weired trades.
Will be interesting to see what he does with LA.
- August 19, 2008 at 9:40 AM
I see the downside. Could these be potential positives (a bit thin but still...):
- In Europe, where the Manager's positions is similar to Arena's new arrangement, the assistant coaches (called simply there) have a lot more responsibility for training the players and preparing the squad for games. Does Arena delegate? HOPING this set-up means Cobi's role will be substantive. THAT would be good for everyone.
- Since he does understand things like distance between games and heat during MLS summers, would Arena be less inclined to take his players hither and yon for any promo match that will pay enough pre-season?
- Does "people change" count? He did jump into another tough situation pretty quick after the world cup.
Shirtees.com, I wouldn't worry about whether Beckham likes his coach or not. He wasn't brought up in that culture. As you've seen, he's had success under some famously nasty ones. He only really cares whether the manager works hard to get the most out of the team and works the team hard. Anyway, they'll like each other fine if the team's improving -- and everyone will love each other if they're winning.
- August 19, 2008 at 9:58 AM
Typo, sorry... "(called simply coaches there)"
- August 19, 2008 at 10:00 AM
When I think of Bruce Arena I think of:
-counter-attacking football
-the 4-5-1
-a man who plays favorites
He did outsmart Javier Aguirre and the Portugese, South Korea in 2002 but mostly I felt that he outsmarted himself during his National team (too long) tenure.
- August 19, 2008 at 11:19 AM
- just another one of you said...
Luis, I usually agree with you but on this one I think you're overstating the negatives, although with the lovefest the Galaxy put on I think it's more than justified. I also think you're combining your dislike of the Galaxy orgnization with your dislike of Bruce.
Here's my take - It is obvious to everyone that Arena made mistakes at the nat'l level. For all the conceit and stubbornness Bruce exudes you have to admit that he didn't get to where he got (where ever that is depending on ones perspective) by being an close minded buffoon. The guy has had time to reflect on his failures, and I'm not going to include NYRB as a failure. If you did that you'd have a laundry list of respectable coaches you'd have to toss in the shitter. Look how fast Osorio's stock has fallen (who in their right mind would choose to coach the NYRB over the Fire?!?). That franchise has its own problems (which the Galaxy has seemed to aspire too, oddly enough).
I like that Bruce is in charge. Its great that Cobi is a fan favorite but he is way too inexperienced for a club that has global aspirations (justified or not). There was no point in denying the inevitable and moving on. It's better for Cobi too, he should go ask Frank Yallop. LA was not a good place for him to cut his teeth. Additionally, that team needs someone in charge (not just as coach) who wasn't around for the good times. LA is a shit organization when it comes to on field play, and that seems evident to everyone outside that organization. Bruce knows what the public perception of the Galaxy and himself are, it's written and mentioned everywhere. He has to be humbled by the fact that he can't land a job outside the MLS, and anyone who has followed soccer for more than 5 minutes knows that a coach's achievements matter for all of a minute.
I think Bruce is just the guy to let people like Vagenas and Cronin know just how bad they really are. I don't know how Ruud treated them but I know I would be constantly swearing at certain players on that team.
Now to address somethings in the comments:
Shirtees, if you're worried that Becks might have an issue with a coach like Bruce you must not know the other coaches David has played for. Plus this team doesn't need to be bonded together. It needs to be blown up. That was evident at the end of last season, and little was done other than perpetuating problem areas.
To the various anonymous:
I keep wondering why people bring up the fact that the USMNT played a counter-attacking style of play that relied on bunkering down. Who the hell are we kidding? That team was never going to win a game by trying to control possession or pressing players upfield. Bruce obviously made some poor choices but to look back and only point out the mistakes is just revisionist history.
- August 19, 2008 at 12:01 PM
Luis... Are you sure we aren't related???
Those are are most of the points I have been trying to make since the Chivas game and stupid John Harkes was glorifying Arena. Whatever...

Another thing in Cobi's favor...Luis or Andrea, correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember reading that the Galaxy's great run at the end of 2005 with the double came after the players got together and started talking about their tactics and formations, etc. In other words, trying to make sure Sampson was coaching as little as possible.
When I heard about that, I always thought that Cobi was probably one of the players that had the respect of everyone on the team and was likely behind a lot of what happened.
Just a hunch, could be completely wrong, but I thought he could have done some good things the rest of this season.
- August 19, 2008 at 12:28 PM
I find the criticism of Arena leading the U.S. to victories over CONCACAF teams pretty vapid.
Of course he led them to victories over CONCACAF teams, that is our region and who we play on a regular basis. Planning on moving the U.S. to Europe sometime soon???
The guy is the best coach in the history of MLS and took the U.S. National Team to places it has never been before. That makes him the best coach in MNT history as well.
You can argue that isn't good enough. But you can't argue it's the best we have ever seen in both cases.
Give me a call when you find someone who does it better.

Now, I'm not saying I don't find some faults in what Bob Bradley has done but I applaud Bradley for taking the US to Europe and Africa for friendlies against some teams the US normally doesnt have the chance to play instead of playing some shit friendlies against some shit soccer team from this side of the world. Bradley could have tried to schedule some friendlies against some teams in the region to try and simulate how Guatemala, Cuba and/or Jamaica were going to play but instead he said "Screw that, we'll go measure up against the best of the world on their turf and test ourselves that way."
- August 19, 2008 at 1:11 PM
i don't like him either but frankly this league needs people who understand the stupid league rules. he does so whatever...
- August 19, 2008 at 3:04 PM
Yeah, I agree with this last comment Luis. We should quit playing Mexico.

I think Arena will get more time than many people will realize. Why? Because the Galaxy can't afford to alienate any more high-level coaches; otherwise, the team wouldn't be able to get an AYSO coach here.
Besides, Leiweke gave Arena immense power because Leiweke wants to survive. Leiweke's fate is tied to Arena's. If Arena doesn't work out, Leiweke is gone. Count on it.
Besides, despite the friendly aire, Arena is not the kind of man you screw with. He will chew up and spit out at supersonic speed any incompetent corporate suit who tries to mess with him, the way such magnificant incompetents such as Lalas and Leiweke tried to screw wtih Yallop and Gullit.
Leiweke and AEG know this. They'll give Arena as much time as he needs because he's their last hope. They'll also treat him w/more respect than any coach they previously hired -- because they know the consequences if they don't.
- August 19, 2008 at 3:05 PM
I give Arena a lot of credit for the success he's had in coaching. It's hard to deny that.
IMO, his latest failures (USMNT WC 06', NYRB) was a function of his loyalty to Claudio Reyna.
Arena's tactical and technical knowledge of the game is not strong, but his ability to identify good players and manage a team is very stong. Which is why I'm so surptised he never identified Reyna as a major problem in the last world cup and made the mistake of making Reyna the center piece of his team in NY.
If he has been humbled some, and is willing to compensate for his weakness in basic tactical knowledge by having good assistants around him, he could be a big success again.
- August 19, 2008 at 5:09 PM
Hey, we became the best team in the region under Arena. Mexico can't touch us now and are a thing of the past. In WC 2006, we were in Europe and several of our players (Reyna, Donovan, Onweyu) were well off form. Besides, New York is where coaches go to die and he took them to the playoffs....
- August 19, 2008 at 5:53 PM
I agree that Arena to an extent is a bit overrated. He lacks the tactical acumen to coach in the top leagues, but what he lacks in tactics, he makes up for in the psychological department. He somehow is able to get players to overacheive. This has to do a lot with his personality. Unfortunately, after a while, players stop listening to you if you stay too long, which is one of the reasons that the US bombed out in 2006 as well.
He started calling out players in public, which I'm sure caused nothing but create a negative attitude in the locker room. But his personality is what the Galaxy needs right now. I think under Arena's reign, you're not going to see any nonsense like Simon Fuller at Galaxy press conferences, or anything else related to the Beckham circus. And if AEG pisses him off, you better believe he's going to go public with his complaints and criticisms.
- August 19, 2008 at 6:52 PM
The sins of Bruce Arena are many. To name a few: Jeff Agoos being beaten like a rented mule and scoring an own goal in the 2002 World Cup; the disastrous 4-5-1 formation leading to the 3-0 flogging by the Czech Republic in 2006; Eddie Pope, Jeff Agoos redux, waving for offsides as his mark Gilardino went in alone to beat Kasey Keller during the Italy game; Claudio Reyna trying to dribble a ball that begged to be cleared, then injuring himself and falling to the pitch as Ghana scored in the game we had to win.
And Jay Demerit never got called up to the nationaal team.
Will Bruce get Reyna to un-retire again?
- August 19, 2008 at 7:10 PM
Wow, Luis is one bitter Mexican.
Remember when he predicted victory for Mexico at the gold cup, and before that in Phoenix. He's always wrong yet somehow he maintains a platfor, by writing insightful pieces in which he reads a list of scores and then repeats the results with minimal details. Bravo.
- August 19, 2008 at 8:31 PM
Best piece I've read on Arena. He only has the US nat records that he does because he came in after MLS had a few years to develop players. Any coach they would have hired in 98 would have been the most succesful in US team history, becasue we finally had a league to ild a real player pool.

I wouldn't go that far, Kevin. Right now, Mexico has some good young players: Dos Santos, Guardado, Ochoa and Villaluz, for starters. Besides, Mexico not only has more players in Europe than ever, but those players are staying and, in some cases, starting.
We've all seen how the U.S. national team has developed and grown thanks to its players going to Europe. Mexico now has the same opportunity. What Erikson will do as coach is an open question, right now.

It's been several months since the extremely underwhelming launch of the PS3 in North America and Japan. The day has finally come for us here in Australia, but the point is – it still really isn't worth getting, and not by a long shot. You would have thought Sony would use the previous months to get their act together, but, despite having all the chances in the world, they haven't gotten their own act together – rather, someone elses.
Let's begin by discussing the entire point of a video games console – the games. The PlayStation 3 seems to have built up a hefty array of launch titles, but by saying they've gotten someone else's act together, there is no kidding there. These aren't PS3 exclusive titles, and many have been available on the Xbox 360 for months now.
you can read this article and whine and say - this is an anti-sony site or read the link at the end which says - "Want the other side of the story? PlayStation 3: Buy it Now." and say - this is pro-sony site. q:
It has sold better than x360 did in Japan -and- North America its first 4 months with no NextGen competition.
between Ps2's DVD player and the Bluray player in PS3. While everyone admits the DVD in the PS2 was crap the BluRay drive in the PS3 is actually scoring above the standalone players. I am not Pro Sony or PS3 but this is flamebait. If I buy PS3 it will be for the bluray player first and the two exclusive games I want second. HD is gorgeous no matter what flavour of disk it comes on.
yea the the 360 was the "first" console to be come next gen... but seriously what games did that system offer...
a pretty Call of duty.. so what...
madden that just looked good.. so what
King Kong... not even going to comment..
Only 4 months ago did I buy a good game which was Gears..
When Halo3, Mass Effect, Forza, BioShock
When these hit.
Massive sales in Consoles (360)
How can Sony survive when their exclusives are getting tossed to the 360?
How can the makers of MGS and FF turn their face around of the huge install base of the 360, when only the so called 'Gears' of war is the only good game?. They will be blind to see that it's not a good investment.
Plus - Sony has really f'kd up in so many ways. Being realistic.
If you aint part of the gaming companies... Think like your in one.
But on the side note.
The PS3's future is really not looking good at all.
If they bleed exclusives and the 360 is lickin'm off, How could anyone say that the PS3 has a bright future?
Plus. The wii..... no comment on that.
Blu-Ray Better win.
and Devil May Cry..... 360 welcomes you Dante!!!
with the PS home..... It's cool... but still has to be proven to the almighty X-box Live..
With the controllers. Hopefully PS3 will get it's rumble A.S.A.P.
Price... Damnn....... While the PS3 can't afford a price cut, microsoft's proven system can go 100 buck cheaper and plus... maybe a black 360 with 120 HDD.
Future is lookin bright for the 360

Made of borosilicate glass, which keeps the water smell-, taste- and taint-free, it weighs less than 500 grams and holds 1.75 litres of water. The Clara has got a blue stopper on the spout which makes it whistle like a horny construction worker, and it can be used on electric and gas stoves, as well as ceramic hobs. You can even put it in the microwave if you remove the lid and whistle, but what is the point of that?

Neighbros was birthed in the fall of 2008, at Scotty Mike and Jaime J's apartment building in Los Angeles, CA. They are in fact neighbors and bros in real life, so naturally they wanted to name the project…"Friends." Lboogie informed them there is already a show called "Friends"… but, neither had ever heard of it. L Boogie then proposed the name NEIGHBROS. After a hard sell, Scotty Mike and Jaime J realized why the name is funny. They began discussing show ideas and themes in the middle of the driveway, many nights 'til the wee hours of the morning over lattes and gluten free rice chips (Scotty Mike is gluten intolerant, Jaime J still doesn't know what that means)…then one night, a neighbor yelled "Just shoot the fuckin' thing already!"
And shoot it they did. After holding for planes, construction, sirens, dogs, lawnmowers, random people dragging chains down the sidewalk (I mean, seriously, who drags chains down the sidewalk?), inconveniencing neighbors and bribing them with cupcakes… the Neighbros team finally matured their idea into the light-hearted comedy that has tickled the funny bone of tens of hundreds of people.

The 2011 TNA Against All Odds PPV kicked off with a video feature covering all the recent TNA storyline events, including Mr. Anderson's TNA title win, Fortune turning on Immortal and the Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Jarrett storyline.
Mike Tenay and Taz welcomed everyone to the PPV, going over the top matches. They announced that Generation Me were unable to make it to Florida due to travel issues, so they won't be able to compete in their scheduled match to name the top contender for the X-Division championship.
Robbie E and Cookie made their way to the ring. Robbie took the mic and said that he's got good news and bad news. He said that the good news was that since Generation Me had travel issues "aka were afraid of Robbie E", he was the new top contender to the X-Division championship. The bad news was that no one gets to see him wrestle tonight. He demanded the referee count Generation Me out of the ring to make it official and told him to hurry, since "we have to get to the clubs."
The referee called for the bell and began making the count. Robbie E did a fist pump as each number was counted off. He won via countout and began celebrating, carrying Cookie around the ring.
E began leaving the ring and Taz wondered if he even knew that Kazarian was going to defend the title tonight. As he made his way to the ramp, Kazarian's music began and out came the X-Division champion. He backed up Cookie and E towards the ring. Kazarian took the mic and said that while E was OK with getting out of there with a cheap victory but as a member of Fortune, he can't not let everyone get what they paid to see. He said that perhaps E didn't get the memo, but there is indeed going to be a championship bout tonight. He said it was going to happen right now.
TNA X-Division champ Kazarian vs. Robbie E
As Kazarian put down the mic, E attacked him on the ramp but Kazarian beat him back down to the ring. Kazarian tossed him in the ring and hit a Gutwrench suplex. Cookie tried to interfere but was thwarted. Kazarian set up E on the ropes, then kicked him off to the floor.
Kazarian went to the top rope for a dive but Cookie went to interfere. Kazarian grabbed her but E grabbed Kazarian's legs and yanked them out from him. Kazarian took a hard bump down, crashing into the stairs. E slammed Kazarian's arm into the stairs.
Kazarian fought back but was kicked down. E went to the ropes for a fistdrop and covered the champion for a two count. He shoulderblocked Kazarian into the corner. E argued with the referee, allowing Cookie to choke Kazarian in the corner. E used his boot to choke Kazarian against the ropes.
Kazarian came back with a right hand and a side Russian legsweep for a two count. E cut him off and went back to work on Kazarian's shoulder and back. He used his knee to try and strangle Kaz, then nailed him with a snapmare. E locked in a side chinlock to try and force Kazarian down.
Kazarian made a comeback with a clothesline and scored a close two count. He went for the inverted tombstone but E slipped out and went for a swinging neckbreaker. Kaz escaped and rolled him up for a two count. E kicked Kazarian into Cookie, who nailed him. E rolled up Kaz for another two count.
E stalked Kazarian, slapping him and trash talking. Kazarian ducked a move and caught Robbie with the inverted tombstone for the pin.
Your winner and still X-Division champ, Kazarian!
Solid, well worked opener. Good stuff.
Christy Hemme interviewed Scott Steiner and Beer Money. Scott Steiner was all over the place with a silly interview, saying he was going to have the same match he always had, kicking someone's ass. Beer Money picked it up, saying that they were going to take Immortal's flunkies out. James Storm started a "You suck" chant, saying that the fans will be chanting that for their opponents tonight.
AJ Styles' music and out came Styles in street clothes. Styles joined Tenay and Taz at the announcing position.
Scott Steiner & Beer Money vs. Rob Terry & Gunner & Murphy
The announcers were pushing Terry vs. Steiner as a battle of two of the biggest physical specimens in the business. AJ Styles noted that Ric Flair would return to Impact Thursday.
Steiner and Gunner started off. Steiner shoulderblocked him down and chopped away at him. Gunner went for a leapfrog and failed, so Steiner tossed him with a belly to belly suplex. Murphy got tossed as well. Terry tagged in and the two faced off. Fans were chanting for Steiner.
Terry began making bodybuilding poses, so Steiner kicked him low while the referee wasn't looking, then dropped an elbow. Murphy tagged himself in and locked up with Steiner. Steiner controlled him and then tagged in Storm. Storm nailed an inverted atomic drop and a clothesline for a two count. Murphy caught him with a knee to the gut and tagged in Gunner, but Storm nailed a kneelift and a hangman's neckbreaker.
Gunner came back to toss Storm over the top but Storm skinned the cat and worked over Gunner with a series of clotheslines and punches in the corner. Terry nailed Storm, who was then caught with a clothesline. The Immortal members worked over Storm in the corner. Gunner slammed Storm and dropped an elbow for a two count.
They continued controlling Storm as Murphy locked in a rear chinlock. Storm fired back but was grabbed by the hair and slammed backwards to the mat. Terry tagged in and picked up Storm, hitting a big over the shoulder powerslam for a two count. He went for another but Storm slipped out and nailed the Backstabber.
Storm went to make a tag but Murphy tried to prevent it. Storm kicked him off and tagged in Robert Roode. Roode went for a move but there was a miscue and Gunner ducked, Roode, undaunted, saved it by rebounding with a big clothesline. Roode then clotheslined Terry out of the ring and hit a rolling snapmare off the ropes on Gunner for a two count. Storm drilled Gunner with a spinebuster for a two count but Murphy broke it up.
Terry went after Steiner and attacked him on the floor. Beer Money made a comeback and teased DWI but Terry tried to attack them. He nailed Murphy and was hit with a double suplex by BeerMoney. Roode nailed a spinbuster on Gunner, thrn Murphy. Terry grabbed him for a chokeslam but Roode slipped out and nailed a spinebuster as well.
Roode went to the ropes for a suplex on Gunner but instead tagged Steiner, who nailed a top rope Frankensteiner and scored the pin.
Your winners, Beer Money and Scott Steiner!
Solid six man tag, other than a few moments. For a match I really had no emotional investment in seeing, this was a nice surprise as it was laid out well. The heels did a great job of holding their end up here. Terry and Steiner were used in ways to show off their strengths while Beer Money are so good, it's ridiculous.
Christy Hemme interviewed Brother Devon. Devon said that while his sons did everything he taught them to do on Impact, he's not letting them be involved in the match tonight. They weren't happy. He said that he didn't want them to be a sacrifical lamb tonight and told them that while he knows they weren't happy, they were still his sons and they needed to do what he asked. He told them that he loved them but they needed to watch, not get involved. They finally agreed. Devon's delivery was good.
Samoa Joe vs. Pope Dinero
Pope's tights were mocking Joe's "gonna kill you." They locked up after Pope ducked out of the ring early. He tried to get the better of Joe but the second Joe was obviously unphased, Pope walked out of the ring and tried to head up the aisle back towards the locker room. Okada, dressed like Kato from the Green Hornet, backed him to the ring, where Joe did a dive to the floor. They noted he was Joe's camerman that helped him expose Pope. They called him Okato, which came off so lame.
Back in the ring, Joe nailed a headbutt but Pope cut him off and suplexed Joe over. Joe popped right back up and clotheslined Pope. Joe peppered Pope in the corner with strikes and punches. He nailed a back splash in the corner followed by an enziguiri.
Joe began working over Pope again but the referee (Jackson James of course favoring the heels) stopped Joe, which allows Pope to thumb him in the eye. Pope tossed Joe to the outside, slammed him into the apron, and tossed him back in the ring. Joe mounted a quick comeback but was clotheslined as he rebounded off the ropes.
Pope worked over Joe and nailed his diving shot over Joe's back, landing on the floor. Pope drilled Joe with a neckbreaker for a two count. Pope came off the ropes but was caught with an inverted atomic drop, kicked in the face and nailed with a back senton splash for a two count. Pope nailed Joe in the face as Joe lifted him over his back and removed a turnbuckle pad as Joe recovered.
Pope tried to slam Joe into it but Joe stopped him and they went back and forth with near falls. Pope came off the ropes but Joe grabbed him in a rear naked choke. Pope tapped out immediately, so quickly it wasn't even funny.
Your winner, Samoa Joe!
Joe had words with Jackson James, to the point I thought he had DQ'd Joe for using the choke. Pope asked for a handshake and Joe, after hesitation, accepted it. Pope nailed Joe and slammed him into the exposed buckle, busting him open. Okada tried to help but was laid out. Joe went after Pope, who retreated out. Pope smiled as he left while Joe was pissed.
Match was good. Okada's gimmick is awful!
Christy Hemme interviewed Mickie James. James said she was excited about her title shot tonight. She said that the only reason Madison Rayne has the title is because Tara laid down for her but tonight, when Rayne lays down, she won't be getting back up. OK promo.
TNA Knockouts champion Madison Rayne vs. Mickie James: Last Knockout Standing
Someone has a sign that read "I'll pay Flair's bar tab." Hilarious.
They battled to the floor immediately. Rayne went after James, who caught her with a kick on the floor. Rayne came back to slam James into the ring steps. The referee began to count her out but she made her way up and back to the ring.
James unloaded on Rayne, who retreated to the floor. Rayne tried to walk out but James charged and nailed her from behind. Rayne came back and began unloading with shots across her back, then whipped her into the railing. They went back and forth on the floor. James reversed an Irish Whip and Rayne hit her head on the ringpost. Rayne recovered and nailed a DDT. The referee began counting James down but she made her way back to her feet.
Rayne went after James but James caught her and tossed Rayne to the floor, where the referee began counting her down. James nailed a bodypress off the apron to the floor. They began counting both women down but Rayne went under the ring. James followed. They emerged on the other side of the ring. Rayne tried to nail James with her loaded glove but James moved and Rayne hit the ring steps. Rayne was kicked and was down but James picked her up and tossed her in the ring.
James went to the ropes but Rayne nailed her and sent her falling from the ropes to the floor. James pulled herself up to her feet at the nine count. Rayne went to nail James with the glove but James grabbed her arm and snapped it off the ropes. James came off the top with a Thesz Press, then hit a spinkick. James grabbed the glove from Rayne's hand. Tara hit the scene so James nailed her with the glove.
As James stood over Tara, Rayne nailed her with brass knuckles and James was counted out.
Your winner and still Knockouts champion, Madison Rayne.
This had a some nice moments but never really got out of first gear in my opinion. They were killing each other but there was no real flow here as opposed to a back and forth deal. It was good for what it was as they both tried hard and it was really physical.
Backstage, Jeff Hardy said he was going to get his title back and wished Ken Anderson well, "you a**hole."

Eze Imade Eribo (AR '13) Wins Global Architectural Graduate Award
POSTED ON: October 17, 2013
The Architectural Review has named Floating Radio Station and Fish Smoking Facility, the thesis project by Eze Imade Eribo (AR '13), as a Runner Up in its second annual Global Architecture Graduate Awards. Ms. Eribo made the shortlist of five lauded undergraduate projects from around the world, including Belgium, Chile and the UK. It is the only winning project from the United States. "The awards seek to identify projects with a critical position that advance the role of architecture in an increasingly fractured yet globalized world," according to the GAGA website.
"I was definitely overwhelmed," Ms. Eribo writes via email from Milan, Italy where she is studying for a Masters degree at Domus Academy. "Besides being a personal victory, I am ecstatic that I get to fly the Cooper Union flag!" Ms. Eribo, who appeared in our 2013 snapshot of graduating students, was born and raised in Nigeria's capital city Abuja. As a teenager she authored a book of poems and plays before graduating high school at age 16. After applying to medical schools she changed her mind and came to The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture.
As her thesis site Ms. Eribo chose the Bakassi peninsula, a disputed territory between Nigeria and Cameroon. A wet lowland comprised of mangrove-covered islands and stilt houses, the economy of Bakassi peninsula relies chiefly on exporting fish caught by raft and then smoked. Originally under Nigerian control, Cameroon claimed sovereignty over the area, winning a 2002 judgment by the International Court of Justice. Transfer of power was just concluded on August 15 of this year, a process started in 2006. Ms. Eribo, who had never been there before, travelled to the site thanks to a grant from the William Cooper Mack Fellowship in 2012. While there Ms. Eribo heard local Nigerian's tales of persecution at the hands of the Cameroonian government.
Ms. Eribo's thesis proposes to build a fishing raft using local materials that acts like a floating smokehouse but also secretly houses a recording studio and radio station. It would collect stories of displacement and persecution, then rebroadcast them in the form of folk tales, which would be a more politically palatable form of witnessing. "This project addresses huge existential subjects − alienation, oppression, loss of identity − and offers a response which is not only practical, but utterly compelling in its simplicity," Isabel Allen, a 2013 GAGA judge, says about Ms. Eribo's project. "This is an exemplary essay on clarity of thought and economy of means. And it's hugely refreshing to see mapping used in a very literal sense, for communication as opposed to obfuscation."
"Eze Eribo has a creative soul with deep roots that connect her psychic life to all her work, written, drawn, or modeled in exceptional ways.," Prof. David Turnbull, who with Professors Hayley Eber and Urtzi Grau comprised the School of Architecture's Thesis faculty, says. "I think that a rich responsiveness to life as it is lived is abundantly evident in her thesis project and that is, precisely, the reason the judges awarded her a prize."
During her studies Ms. Eribo finds time to work on making the floating radio station into a reality. "It was always my goal to implement my project because I honestly believe design should serve humanity," Ms. Eribo writes. "There will be a lot of hurdles. Although it is a design project it is also a political statement, and will naturally attract resistance. But for now I'm constantly improving on the design and the technology (not just radio, but perhaps ad-hoc systems as well), educating myself and reaching out to key people. I can't absolutely promise completion by 2014 but I think it's a good time frame to keep me on my toes!"

1. Re: URL-Protocol Handler doesn't workalesj Sep 24, 2011 2:37 PM (in response to dastraub)
You need to use this mechanism for your custom URL protocol handler:
* https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-modules/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jboss/modules/ModularURLStreamHandlerFactory.java
--> register it as a service-loader pattern service / extension
2. Re: URL-Protocol Handler doesn't workdastraub Sep 24, 2011 7:00 PM (in response to alesj)
That is a solution, thanks for the fast response !
But at the moment the protocol handlers are part of our application.
In your solution the handler classes (with all dependencies) have to move to the server installation, in a module with a service extension.
A hotdeploy or dynamic registration of handlers is impossible.
Or can we register the handler as a service extension in our jar files ? I guess not, because the ModulearURLStreamHandlerFactory resolve this in a static initializer.
The "java.protocol.handler.pkgs" - mechanism is a standard java way (more or less) what we use since a long time.
It's hard to accept that this is impossible with the new AS7 and to change a long running, tested application.
What's the reason for this ClassNotFoundException ?
3. Re: URL-Protocol Handler doesn't workalesj Sep 25, 2011 4:37 PM (in response to dastraub)
A hotdeploy or dynamic registration of handlers is impossible.
What about if you added a static handler impl, which would be capable of looking up a dynamic one?
e.g. via TCCL + service-pattern lookup
4. Re: URL-Protocol Handler doesn't workdastraub Sep 25, 2011 4:49 PM (in response to alesj)
I thought about that, to deploy a small module what is registered by the ModulearURLStreamHandlerFactory and looks for other handlers.
So we bring back the dynamic again
5. Re: URL-Protocol Handler doesn't workdmlloyd Sep 25, 2011 5:06 PM (in response to dastraub)
Here's the problem. URL stream handlers aren't, in fact, dynamic. If you did in fact add a handler from a deployment (even if you did it indirectly via a static delegate), and then redeployed that deployment, the handler would still be served by the old deployment (it would leak, causing duplicate classes to be loaded). That's why we don't support URL handlers from deployments. The only correct way to do this currently is to use a static module.
I've been working on a framework for dynamic URL handlers via deployments but it's been rather lower on the priority list. Maybe this week though I can find a minute to get what I have up on github and I'll open a community JIRA so that this feature can be contributed.
6. Re: URL-Protocol Handler doesn't workdastraub Sep 25, 2011 5:19 PM (in response to dmlloyd)
Your right, the URL caches resolved handlers in a map.
What I mean with 'dynamic' is more that we ship the handler as part of the application and haven't to change the server installation.
Normaly, in a production enviroment we don't do hotdeployments and it's easy to deploy only one artifact instead of pdating the modules, configuration xml etc.
7. Re: URL-Protocol Handler doesn't workthomas.diesler Sep 26, 2011 2:55 AM (in response to dastraub)
OSGi supports the notion of dynamic URL handlers. See URLStreamHandlerService
8. Re: URL-Protocol Handler doesn't workdastraub Feb 8, 2012 7:35 AM (in response to dmlloyd)
Hi David
now I came back to this thread (because we're porting a large application to AS 7), and I use the following solution :
In a self developed extension we do some stuff during the deployment, and here also we add our URLStreamHandlerFactory :
@Override public void deploy(DeploymentPhaseContext phaseContext) throws DeploymentUnitProcessingException { final DeploymentUnit deploymentUnit = phaseContext.getDeploymentUnit(); final Module module = deploymentUnit.getAttachment(Attachments.MODULE); URL url = module.getExportedResource("META-INF/services/java.net.URLStreamHandlerFactory"); if (url != null) { log.info("registerURLStreamHandlerFactoryModule " + module.getIdentifier()); Module.registerURLStreamHandlerFactoryModule(module); } }
Ok, thar solves the half part.
Unfortunatly, there is no method for unregister this module during undeploy.
Is it possible to add this method to the Module ?
At the moment, the undeploy looks like this :
@Override public void undeploy(DeploymentUnit context) { final Module module = context.getAttachment(Attachments.MODULE); URL url = module.getExportedResource("META-INF/services/java.net.URLStreamHandlerFactory"); if (url == null) { return; } try { Class clazz = Class.forName("org.jboss.modules.ModularURLStreamHandlerFactory"); Field field = clazz.getDeclaredField("modules"); field.setAccessible(true); List<Module> modules = (List<Module>) field.get(null); if (modules.remove(module)) { log.info("unregisterURLStreamHandlerFactoryModule " + module.getIdentifier()); } } catch (Exception x) { //x.printStackTrace(); } }
9. Re: URL-Protocol Handler doesn't workskoure Apr 9, 2012 4:05 PM (in response to dmlloyd)
Can you please comment a little more on how to correctly register a URLStreamHandler on AS 7.1 via a static module.
I have an ear that uses the smb protocol from jcifs and I am having dificulty getting this to work on AS 7.1
Whenever my application tries to access a smb URL I get a MalformedURLException unknown protocol: smb
In the Manifest of the ear I have added a dependency to jcifs.
I have created the following directory structure under modules:
|- jcifs
|- main
|- module.xml
|- jcifs.jar
|- service-loader-resources
|- services
|- java.net.URLStreamHandler
java.net.URLStreamHandler is a text file containing the class name of the Handler (jcifs.smb.Handler).
module.xml contains a resource-root for both service-loader-resources as well as jcifs.jar
I modified standalone.conf.bat to include:
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djboss.protocol.handler.modules=jcifs
I have also tried:
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=jcifs
10. Re: URL-Protocol Handler doesn't workdmlloyd Apr 10, 2012 10:54 AM (in response to skoure)
I'll field this one.
If you have a static module which you want considered as a URL stream handler provider for a standalone AS server instance, you must add your custom module to the org.jboss.as.standalone module import list like this:
<dependencies> <module name="javax.api"/> <module name="org.jboss.logmanager" services="import"/> <module name="org.jboss.as.jmx" services="import"/> <module name="org.jboss.as.server" export="true"/> <module name="jcifs" services="import"/> </dependencies>
This should cause your URL handler to be recognized.
11. Re: URL-Protocol Handler doesn't workskoure Apr 10, 2012 12:07 PM (in response to dmlloyd)
Thanks for your quick reply.
I added the dependency in org.jboss.as.standalone module import list as you suggested, however, I am still receiving a MalformedURLException unknown protocol: smb within my application.
The good news is that I now see the .index files being created without requiring a dependency to jcifs in the .ear Manifest.
Before this change the .index files were only created if the .ear had a dependency on jcifs, and I can see that the list of modules in the ModularURLStreamHandlerFactory is final.
Hence I assumed loading the jcifs module as a dependency on the .ear was too late. I thought that defining -Djboss.protocol.handler.modules=jcifs would have resolved that, but I guess not.
I tried adding export="true" on the jcifs dependency, but still the same Exception.
I also tried to place the jcifs dependency before the org.jboss.as.server dependency to see if that would help, since it appears that is where the Main and Bootstrap classes reside, but still no luck.
Is the order of the dependencies important?
Am I missing something?
12. Re: URL-Protocol Handler doesn't workdmlloyd Apr 10, 2012 12:23 PM (in response to skoure)
No, order doesn't matter; the export switch is not necessary. Are you running in standalone mode or domain mode?
13. Re: URL-Protocol Handler doesn't workskoure Apr 10, 2012 12:25 PM (in response to dmlloyd)
I'm running in standalone mode.
14. Re: URL-Protocol Handler doesn't workdmlloyd Apr 10, 2012 4:58 PM (in response to skoure)
Okay I re-read the code and it is not exactly as I remembered it. Here are the rules:
- All modules listed in the jboss.protocol.handler.modules system property are loaded, one by one, to search for java.net.URLStreamHandlerFactory service implementations. Note that the module list is delimited by vertical bar characters ("|"); this was motivated by consistency with the java.protocol.handler.pkgs system property.
- The first such implementation that returns a URLStreamHandler for the given protocol name is used (and cached by the JVM).
- Otherwise null is returned and the search is retried next time.
