Utility crews have begun preparatory work on the invisible guts of Carver-Hawkeye Arena's future renovation.
The $2 million utility project has wiped out half the parking west of Carver-Hawkeye Arena, which senior associate athletics director Jane Meyer promises will be available in time for football season. The project includes water and electrical work, and a local tree service was clearing timber northwest of the arena.
"We have to get a 12-inch water line from Hawkins Drive down around sort of the footprint of where the practice facility will be," Meyer said. "This was bid as a separate project.
"The utilities have to be out of the way before anything else begins."
The state Board of Regents approved the $47 million renovation in June 2008. Athletics officials planned to break ground this fall, but Meyer said it's too early to commit to a timeline because the drawings are not finalized. Iowa City's Neumann Monson Architects and Kansas City-based HNTB are the project architects.
"I'm not even going to speak to that (a timeline) until we know where this last pricing comes in and we make sure everything is in order," Meyer said.
Earlier this week Athletics Director Gary Barta said the utility project will lead to Carver's renovation.
"The actual Carver project hasn't gone to bid yet," he said. "It's a precursor. It's a utility project that will allow us to do the big renovation once we go to bid sometime this fall."
Athletics officials have received around $9 million in pledges and commitments for the project as of earlier this summer. They hope to raise $20 million privately. Associate athletics director Mark Jennings said Thursday the fundraising campaign is ahead of schedule.
The basketball facility/arena renovation includes a multi-court gym for the basketball and volleyball teams and a renovated wrestling complex. Each sport will receive new locker rooms, new coaches offices and an 8,000-square foot strength and conditioning center.
The arena renovation plan includes two hospitality rooms and 650 premium seats for men's basketball. A courtside seat for men's basketball is valued at $125,000 in giving over five years. A second-row seat costs $60,000 over five years. There will be 50 seats in each row. The arena also includes 550 premium club seats costing $12,500 per seat over five years.

Keyboard pointless
I don't see the use of a keyboard (hardware) since I installed swype on my full sized X10 I never looked back the fact is I can enter test super fast with this app and accurately, much faster than I could with a hardware keyboard (which is just another thing to go wrong).
The size on the otherhand is great, exactly the sort of thing that my wife complains about with the full size X10 (even though its roughly the same size as her iphone).
I don't see the point of these phones other than size.

Found this. http://oi59.tinypic.com/fbjejb.jpg (Link to camshot)Not sure how legit it is. I can't read the kanji either.
And where there's Luca, there's Jerome, one of my favorite sub characters
That's ultra cool. Can't wait to see who else we might get to see in there.
Looks like it might be some of the first people Rickert will get to talk?
I almost made that joke. Almost.
Well she doesn't look miserable from the picture, so I kinda hope that it's not gonna be a dump as Albion was. I don't think that'll be the case but at some point if a lot of people keep getting there it's a possibility imo.
Here's the rest.http://n2.upup.be/RalRxP0AEO(Be careful: NSFW ads next to the pictures)
Yes, the true dark age ushered in by the God Hand: inadequate housing!!
Falconia definitely has a Greco-Roman feel to it, it's interesting to see it more in detail. Brought back from the past! Rickert and the others are surprised to see Kushans in there. Jarif says that their medium (must be Sonia) noticed that many groups of trolls are attacking refugees from the East, so they are going out to rescue them. Rickert says "I'll meet Griffith..." while holding a scroll. In the bathhouse (which seems to be the establishment Luca is in charge of), Luca asks Erica where she's from, and Erica answers something about the mountains around the border being infested with trolls. The announcement at the end says Rickert and Griffith are to meet the following day.
The announcement at the end says Rickert and Griffith are to meet the following day.
Here's the rest.
And hey look! Jarif! Another returning character I didn't think id ever see again.
You expected a named character that was introduced just a few volumes ago to vanish?
Thanks Arles. And for those who'd rather not browse through NSFW ads, I present: http://skullknight.net/images/334-preview1.jpg

Since its introduction in the '97 Corvette, GM's LS-series V-8 has undergone a process of steady improvement, growing in displacement from 5.7 to as much as 7 liters and nearly doubling in available power, from 345 to 638 supercharged horses. Its strength, compactness, and efficiency have also made it a welcome addition to other vehicles, including older musclecars and even vintage Vettes. While the upcoming C7 is to be powered by an all-new direct-injected V-8, dubbed the LT1, the LS is well supported in the aftermarket and will doubtless remain a strong contender for the foreseeable future.
With this in mind, it seems just and proper to celebrate the latest of the standard-equipment LS engines, the LS3, by seeing how far we can reasonably push one. We'll start with the bottom of the engine in this article, and follow it up with a second installment covering the top end.
We began with a bare LS3 aluminum block sourced through Street Shop, Inc., a GM distributor, and decided to stroke it from 6.2 to 6.8 liters, or 416 ci. While it's possible to get more displacement out of an LS3, I was (mistakenly, as it turned out) concerned about rod-angularity issues, so we stuck with a 4-inch crank.
For a bulletproof bottom end, we turned to Lunati. While many suppliers offer complete stroker assemblies for the LS, Lunati, which was founded in the late 1960s by drag racer Joe Lunati, is well known as a racer's company. With so much experience in the field, the people there not only produce top-shelf components, but they also have a wealth of knowledge that goes as deep as knowing which package of components works best on which track.
They supplied a 4-inch Pro Series crankshaft, along with a set of I-beam connecting rods. Pro Series cranks are forged from certified 4340 steel, with journal roundness kept to a tolerance of 0.0001-inch or less. All of the journals are also drilled to reduce the crank's rotating mass. This attention to detail adds up: These cranks have been successfully used in engines pushing more than 1,500 hp. The connecting rods, which are subject to enormous strain, are also made from 4340 steel for maximum strength.
A set of beautifully machined forged pistons was supplied by Wiseco. In business now for more than 70 years, Wiseco has the distinction of being the only U.S. company to forge all of its pistons. In a feeble attempt to stay "close to the factory spec," we specified an LS3-standard 10.7:1 compression ratio.
One of the things we had to choose in building the bottom end was the type of reluctor wheel to use. This serrated wheel attaches to the crank and triggers a pickup that sends information to the car's ECU. Early LS engines used a 24-tooth wheel, while the LS3 usually has 58. While it's possible to put a 24-tooth wheel on a later powerplant, doing so will require you to use the older, less advanced engine computer. In our case, we ultimately selected an aftermarket computer from FAST instead of either of the GM units. That said, we still wanted the most precise inputs possible, so we ordered our Lunati crank with a 58-tooth wheel.
For engine machining and assembly, we chose Grimes Automotive Machine, a shop that's also well-steeped in racing knowledge. On any given day, you'll find owner Garry Grimes, who raced a Pro Stock Vega through the 1970s, in the shop along with his son Garry Scott and father Hoyt, who's known as the "Granddaddy of Southeastern Drag Racing."
Hoyt has been inducted into several halls of fame, including the NHRA Southeastern Division, for his pioneering work in the field, including the first rail dragster in Georgia, the first chain-powered blower, and the 180-plus-mph blow-over crash that ended his racing career and nearly killed him. At 90, he's still working in the shop on a daily basis, and his experience is just part of the tremendous fund of knowledge that makes Grimes Automotive an excellent choice for a serious engine build.
One of the things that was eye-opening to me was the labor and tooling required to build an LS properly. Hailing from the custom gunsmithing business, I was under the impression that engine building was mostly just assembly. I was wrong. The LS isn't the old-school SBC, and to assemble one correctly requires a great deal of precision measurement and fitting on virtually all of the components. The specialized tools required to measure the various small, but critical, dimensions cost more than many complete engines.
The first step was machining the block and preparing it for assembly. Since LS3 blocks can vary considerably in bore diameter, ours was machined so it would be the correct 4.070 inches after final honing. The total height of the rotating assembly was measured, and the block deck machined to leave the piston 0.010-inch "in the hole."
Decking the block ensures a smooth surface for cylinder-head mounting as well as the correct compression ratio. It also establishes a "true deck," with both sides of the block cut to the same deck height; this eliminates the problem of uneven forces acting on each cylinder bank. Otherwise, as Scott pointed out, the engine will run, but the question is how well—and for how long.
With that done, the cylinders were honed to remove any taper and to meet the finish diameter. While some shops simply mount the block in the machine and go to town, Grimes uses a torque plate to simulate the pressure of having heads installed. Otherwise, while the bores may be round when honed, they can distort when the heads are torqued down, leaving the cylinders out-of-round. Since this engine is a stroker, the block also had to be clearanced with a little U-shaped notch near the base of each cylinder, to make room for the longer stroke of the connecting rods.
Once the bores were done, it was time to measure and hone the main bearing caps. Since one of the caps was a little large, giving too much clearance, it had to be shortened at the bottom mounting surface and then re-honed. The bearings were then installed in the caps and measured for crank clearance.
We should note here that GM assembles engines using "torque to yield" bolts. These are torqued to a set value, then turned an additional distance, measured in degrees, to stretch them. Needless to say, they're a single-use proposition, which gets pricy considering the number of times a bottom end should be assembled and disassembled during blueprinting. Accordingly, we opted to ARP fasteners throughout, along with studs on both the bottom and top ends.
With that, the block was done, and it was time to turn to the rotating assembly. While we ordered the crank with the 58-tooth reluctor wheel installed, Grimes checked the wheel's position to make sure it was indexed properly, and used a dab of weld to make sure it stays in place. The crank itself proved to be within the NASCAR tolerance from the factory—a strong showing for Lunati—but it had been balanced with reciprocating parts a little heavier than the ones we were using, necessitating a rebalance.
The other parts—the pistons and connecting rods—were numbered by cylinder with an electric pencil, then weighed and prepared. The pistons, crisply machined and carefully deburred, came out of the box looking too beautiful to be consigned to an existence where they'll likely never seen again. The passage where the wristpin passed through the piston was honed, while the I-beam connecting rods were measured and cleaned. The rods also had their caps repeatedly removed and re-torqued to check for both the proper amount of bolt stretch and the roundness of the rod ends.
The assembly was relatively straightforward. With the block on a rotating stand, the pistons and rods were laid out in order of installation. First, the crank was washed and installed in the block, and the thrust (the forward-and-backward play of the crank in the block) was set by measuring and adjusting the clearance on the thrust (center) bearing. While it may seem counterintuitive, race engines require more clearance, to allow for greater expansion due to heat.
"You're going to beat on this thing, right?" Scott asked me as he measured the play with a dial indicator.
"Yes," I answered, having decided at the beginning that an engine like this would have to live at least part of its life on a racetrack.
"Good," he said, pulling the thrust bearing to take off a little material.
The pistons were then installed on their respective connecting rods, with a spiral lock on each side of the wristpin to keep them in place. The rings were then installed after being file-fitted to each cylinder; their ends were also verified to be square to one another and carefully beveled. With each of the pistons fully assembled, they were slipped into a piston-ring compressor, a tapered sleeve that compresses the rings so they don't snag on the block when the piston is placed in the cylinder.
As I watched, Scott deftly slid the first piston through the compressor and down into the number one cylinder, carefully guiding the lower end of the rod so it didn't nick the crank; he then carefully installed the cap and torqued it into place. All of a sudden, the block was starting to look like an engine.
Once the rotating assembly was torqued into place, we switched to the top end—including the cam, timing set, lifters, heads, intake, and front and rear covers—which we'll cover next month. The last major bottom-end component we added was the oil pan, which goes on after the front and rear covers have been installed.
As an industry leader in LS retrofits, Holley was a natural source for the right oil pan. Intended to provide maximum ground clearance, Holley's cast-and-machined aluminum pan has a total capacity (with filter) of six quarts, and it uses a standard LS3 dipstick and tube (not included). The kit comes with most of the other major components required to install it, including a sump baffle and pickup tube; you'll need to provide a windage tray. We used one from a truck, and followed the included instructions to clearance it where necessary.
Since the LS uses the main cap bolts to mount the oil pan, we stacked washers on the main cap studs to get the spacing correct, keeping clearance between the rotating assembly and windage tray minimal for best oil scavenging.
With the pan in place, we tightened the front and rear covers, and tapped and screwed in the engine-plug kit provided by Comp Cams.
In our next installment, we'll seal up the top and put the fire to it.

This is an imaging test that uses a special contrast material to view the spinal cord. The contrast material used in the
can help your doctor clearly outline the space containing the spinal cord and nerves.
This is used to detect problems in and around the spinal cord, such as:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Your doctor may do the following:
Leading up to your procedure:
There is usually no anesthesia with this procedure. Your doctor may give you a mild sedative. You may have local anesthetic to reduce the pain of the needle.
You will lie on your side or face down. Or, you may sit on the edge of a table, leaning forward. You may be given a local anesthetic injection in your back.
Your doctor will insert a needle into the space between your vertebrae. A small amount of fluid will be removed from the spinal canal. Next, the contrast will be injected through the needle. Your doctor will use an imaging procedure called fluoroscopy. This combines an x-ray unit with a camera and a screen.
To take the images, you will be positioned stomach-down on the table. A brace will be against your shoulders. The table will be tipped forward. Next, the doctor will take images of your back. You will hold your breath while the images are taken. You may be asked to turn slightly to one side and then the other.
Often, your doctor will perform a

Blue Wave girls volleyball team remains unbeaten with sweep of Staples
WESTPORT -- The Darien High girls volleyball team pulled no surprises on the court in registering yet another one of its patented 3-0 wins.
The 10-time defending FCIAC champions were every bit the force that Staples head coach Jon Shepro expected them to be, as the Blue Wave stormed past the Wreckers 25-19, 25-22 and 25-19 on Tuesday afternoon.
"Darien's the toughest team we're going to face. We came at them," Shepro said. "We had an offense, we swung at the ball and kept Darien on their toes. They had to make plays to beat us and they made the plays."
The Blue Wave extended its perfect start to 11 and it has closed out its opponents 3-0 in all but two of those wins.
"We're getting where we need to go. We're happy with the win," Darien assistant coach Burt Takesue said. "We took advantage of some of their mistakes and capitalized on them, which is good. We kept our focus throughout the whole (match)."
Staples (8-2) challenged its opponent at the net throughout the match but Darien's top hitters, seniors Riley Sousa and Kelly Kosnik, often made difficult life for the Wreckers. Kosnik recorded 14 digs, 13 kills and six service points, and Sousa had 13 kills and four digs. Sophomore Celia Martzolf led all players with 36 assists.
Time and again, the Blue Wave did what it does best.
"Their game has always been their defense and their passing, and it showed today," Shepro said. "We came after them with two or three hits in a turn and they'd dig them all up and then steal a point from us."
For Staples, junior hitter Amelia Brackett had nine kills and senior Jen Dimitrief added five kills. Senior defense specialist Lily Rappaport recorded 16 digs.
Staples played Darien tight and trailed by no more than four points in the second game before the Blue Wave pulled ahead 22-17. Although the Wreckers got within a point on multiple occasions in the game, they rarely had an answer.
Darien, which trailed twice at 2-1 and 3-2, closed it out 25-22 on an unforced error.
"Momentum's a strange thing in volleyball," Shepro said. "You just try to find ways to keep it up. ... We couldn't get over the hump. Every time we got within a point, we seemed to miss a serve."
At that point, the Blue Wave, which has lost just three games all season, was well on its way to recording another victory.
"You have to jump on them and stay on top of them," Takesue said. "It's very hard to come back after you have a deficit."
Darien trailed 4-1 in the third game but answered right back with four straight points--the final a block by senior Taylor Cockerill--to shift the momentum. The Blue Wave held slim leads of 10-9 and 12-11 before creating some distance on the scoreboard.
Staples got to within 24-19 late but Kosnik closed out the match just moments later with a kill.
Despite falling for the first time in six matches, Staples took solace in its effort against a perennial power.
"We were disappointed we didn't win but we were really happy with the way we played," said senior Frankie Lynch, who led Staples with 23 assists. "I think we've come a really, really long way. We really have no regrets. We all played our hearts out."

If you are a business owner in Park Hills Missouri, there will come a day when you look at "how to sell my business" as the main question you ask yourself and perhaps the first thing to type in the search box in Google or your favorite search engine. When you type in "how to sell my business in Park Hills " I am sure you will find all kinds of information on just that. I have compiled 7 of the things most business owners don't know about or don't think about before that day (or the day of) that would certainly make the day you do sell your business a more profitable one. Most companies who visit with us are looking to find out what their business is worth first. Most business owners have no idea what their company is worth. Wouldn't you like to know about what it is worth before you hire a Park Hills business broker (we're not brokers, by the way)?Before I go into all that let's look at the 7 biggest mistake business owners make when they get to the point of asking "how to sell my business"1. They assume they "know" what their company is worth and make up a price – Look the first problem with this approach is that your business is usually "your baby". If you have owned your business for a long time you know that you have spent more time with it than perhaps even your family, spouse and kids! It's always there, even in the back of your mind………and sometimes it is hard to understand why someone can't see your business worth the way you see it. That's okay, but it is better to have a certified 3rd party give a certified opinion or appraisal of your business.Look at it this way, if you and I were going to go downtown and buy the Hilton Hotel, we would find a qualified appraiser to give us his professional opinion, wouldn't we? We certainly wouldn't take the owner's word for it or even their accountant's word for it. We would want an independent opinion and official analysis.But you say, hey my business isn't worth that much to justify the cost. What? Even if your business is only worth $25,000, at least you would have an official 3rd party appraisal and a "floor" price you could start at. And with the discounts available when you go through someone like valuationbroker.com, you could literally add thousands if not tens of thousands to your sales price, and only pay a small percentage to have it done.I would not even consider selling any business without this step, no way, ever.You see, most business buyers are smart, like you, they have done a lot of right things to get where they are and unless they have recently inherited the money, they are sophisticated to a degree and will do their homework when looking for a company to purchase. The real advantage to having your company appraised first (by an independent 3rd party certified appraiser) is that you are the one driving the appraisal, not the buyer.2. They ask their accountant what their company is worth and use that number – You accountant is probably a very smart individual, however when coming to valuing a business or having one in on the sales process, I have one rule. I make sure they have been in on at least 10 business sales in the past 12 months, no exceptions. I have seen more deals killed by well meaning accountants. Don't make this mistake.I don't care what your accountant thinks your business is worth. I don't care what MY accountant thinks your business is worth. I want to know what the market tells me.
So that's why I want an independent look from a qualified third party to tell me the current "market value". I have seen hundreds of business owners make this mistake and it can (and has) literally meant the difference of getting only half of what they could have! Half!What's also most interesting about accountants is that they tend to favor using the book value of your business as a starting point and not the market value. Big big mistake. You'll leave a ton on the table this way. Don't do it!3. They take the number off their balance sheet and say that's what their company is worth – You balance sheet tells you the hard value of the assets you have, that's it! It doesn't take into consideration what the value of your assets are that have already been depreciated or your blue sky value, or good name, or customer base……….all things that can add tremendously to the bottom line value of your business!4. They read a few articles in INC magazine and guess a number (even saying something like "companies in my industry are selling for 3 Times earnings") They may even refer to their latest tax return for a number – Don't be fooled by this! There are so many variables even with similar businesses in the same industry. The true value of your Missouri business is NOT the same as the guy down the street, even if you do the same thing! The true value of your Park Hills business is NOT like real estate, where you can compare with the property down the street.That is like saying the space shuttle is like a bicycle. True they are both forms of transportation, but one is a bit more complicated than the other. Again, have it appraised by a "market appraiser". Best money you will EVER spend. Ask ANYONE who has EVER sold a business! 5. They trust a FREE tool on the internet to give them the value of their business – While these free tools are valuable to help obtain a "range of value" (we have one too), they are not the complete answer and you can't use them to justify your asking price. If you have a properly done market appraisal, it will include a "justification of purchase price" section that says, "this is what your business is worth in this market, and here is why it is worth that"That is such an important step. Buyers are smart and want to know how you came to the price you did. Now you know what to do so you can stand behind your price.
Plus you will know just what the market is doing. It isn't the accountant or the balance sheet or your uncle attorney that dictates the price, it's the market! So knowing this, it is important to know just what the market price is. I have seen market prices be twice what the accountant says the business is worth!6. They haven't made their business run without them – This is a no-brainer, yet many business owners don't think of it. Your business will be worth a lot more if it can run without you there. Otherwise whoever buys it will be buying a "job". Nothing wrong with that, but realize, those businesses just are not worth as much when you go to sell them.7. They hire the wrong attorney to help them with the final paperwork (the wrong attorney could be their best friend) – This is just like the accountant, unless the attorney you use has closed 10 or more deals within the past 12 months, don't use them! So many well meaning attorneys have killed countless deals, UNNECESSARILY!I wish you well and hope you take these things to heart (and action). I have seen so many sellers walk away with a lot less than they could have, had they JUST used these few tips!Good Luck, I wish you continued success! (don't forget to get a certified third party, independent report for your business BEFORE you list it to sell) You'll be glad you did! Buying a business? Use the same concepts! Cheers!
The Best Park Hills Missouri Business BrokersOne of the first questions business sellers ask me as a business broker in Toronto, Ontario is "what are your fees?" Business owners contemplating the sale of their companies generally consider fee structure a very important criterion for the selection of a broker to work with. The business brokerage/Intermediation/ Mergers and acquisition markets offer a variety of fee structures depending on the size of the transaction and the nature of the services offered.Businesses of less than $100,000 in value generally sell through Real Estate Agents who sell mostly real estate and a few businesses on the side per year. The service offered is merely putting an ad in MLS and showing potential buyers the business. The seller does most of the selling and answers buyers' questions. The Real Estate salesperson charges a flat fee of $10,000 or 10% of the value of the transaction on closing. A real estate agent can hardly make living selling businesses only because a large percentage (over 90%) of these small businesses never sell.Businesses between $100,000 and $1M in value generally sell through business brokers/Intermediaries. In the province of Ontario, Canada and some US states, business intermediaries need to be real estate licensed. These brokers tend to offer a wider range of services including, business valuation, exit strategy consulting, preparation of a sales package or an offering memorandum, buyer screening and confidential marketing etc. Their fees generally range from 8% to 12% of the price of the transaction and is generally paid on closing. Some intermediaries charge a non refundable retainer between $1000 at $10,000 after signing the listing agreement. Businesses of these sizes generally have higher probabilities of selling because they are more professionally prepared for the sale. Because of the absence or the small amount of retainer charged, the number of sellers changing their minds about selling in the middle of the sale process tends to be very high. Some sellers tend to simply taste the waters to see how much their businesses are worth with no intention of selling. This ends-up costing a lot of time to business intermediaries.Businesses between $1M and $5M in value tend to sell through business brokers/Intermediaries who specialize in the lower middle market segment. These are more sophisticated business brokers who generally have a good understanding of Finance and Business Strategy and have the necessary people/sales skills to help in the long and tedious negotiation process. These intermediaries generally help in the business evaluation and provide advice to business sellers to maximize the business value. Some intermediaries prepare a short business summery of a few pages with summarized business information and industry analysis. Some but not all of these intermediaries charge a non-refundable retainer between $2,000 and $20,000. The success fee/ commission charged on closing of transactions is generally 10% of the first million dollars and 1% to 5% of the balance. This segment of the brokerage industry has been impacted the most by the Internet and the profession has been open to new entrants who do not have deep connections within traditional industry players. Business listings are simply advertised through large business for sale websites and generally attract a large enough pool of buyers to locate a serious buyer.Businesses between $5M and $50M in value are sold through Mergers and Acquisitions Intermediaries/Advisors. Those professionals generally process more advanced finance skills and are capable of detailed business valuations. They also offer more extensive sales package for the businesses to be sold. The sales package involves an extensive interview with the business owner and some key employees and a determination of the key success factors for the business, a detailed industry analysis and potential synergies and/or opportunities for expansion for potential buyers. Because the sales package involves a large number of hours of work, most M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) Intermediaries charge a non-refundable retainer between $10,000 and $50,000. Charging a retainer also insures that only serious business sellers will list their businesses. While this practice tends to reduce the number of potential listings that an Intermediary will have at a certain time, it does insure a much higher quality of listings, meaning motivated sellers and realistic prices. On top of the retainer, these intermediaries charge a success fee using the Lehman or Double Lehman formulas. These formulas consist of charging a declining percentage on each million dollar of value ( 5% of first million + 4% of the second million + 3% of the third million + 2% of the fourth million + 1% of any balance) or (5% for first and second million + 4% for third and fourth million + 3% of the balance).Businesses with over $50M in value generally sell through medium size and large investment banks and have more complicated fee structures.

Many religions continually bring up either real or perceived persecutions. By increasing the perceived price paid for a belief system it is less likely the believer will renounce their faith. It is well said here:
"Procedures, customs, and traditions are often specifically established for the purposes of creating psychological commitment. Consider fraternity initiations, military boot camps, political rallies, protest marches, and demonstrations. When we make our vows, beliefs, statements, or endeavors public, we feel bound to them. We can back out on commitments and claims we've made public, but we will pay a psychological and emotional price. What's more, the more public we made those commitments, the greater the emotional price tag will be."
By the time most believers are in their twenties they have given so much emotionally, fiscally, and temporally to religion that it is very, very difficult for them to turn away from the fraud. Fundamentalists of all stripes engage in similar behaviors. Islam has the haj, all of the hours spent in worship, the differences in lifestyle that sets them apart, and focusing on anything that can be slightly perceived as persecution. Many benign comments and publications are viewed as anti-Islamic. Judaism has the same things with the haj being replaced by Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, religious giving, etc. Many valid comments and criticisms are labeled as antisemitic in a knee jerk reaction. It results in the believers feeling that they have given so much and suffered immensely for their various faiths. Inoculation with cognitive dissonance that extreme often results in people being able to defend the ludicrous for a lifetime. The bad thing is that every time they defend their bogus beliefs their propensity to engage in confirmation bias, denial of disconfirming evidence, and the need to protect their self-image by defending their chosen stance also increases. It is a self-perpetuating quagmire that few escape.
Our chemical computers that we call brains are just wired that way. The unscrupulous are all too willing to take advantage of this human weakness.

BOSTON (Reuters) - The St Louis Cardinals turned the tables on Boston by taking full advantage of some sloppy Red Sox fielding to level the World Series at 1-1 on the back of a 4-2 victory at Fenway Park on Thursday.
The Cardinals, who committed three errors in losing Game One of the best-of-seven series 8-1 a day earlier, latched on to a pair of miscues in the seventh inning to score three runs and overhaul the hosts.
"We kind of contributed to the three runs allowed," said Boston manager John Farrell, echoing the post-mortem delivered on Wednesday by his St Louis counterpart, Mike Matheny.
"Uncharacteristic of the way I think we've taken care of the baseball this year."
St Louis rallied after David 'Big Papi' Ortiz erased a 1-0 Cardinals lead with a two-run homer over the 'Green Monster' in the sixth inning off rookie pitching sensation Michael Wacha.
Wacha gave up three hits in six innings to register the win and improve to 4-0 in the postseason after two great innings of relief from Carlos Martinez set up Trevor Rosenthal for the save, which he posted by striking out the side in the ninth.
"I felt the bullpen did a great job," Matheny said.
The 22-year-old Wacha, who entered the game having allowed just one run in playoff 21 innings, prevailed again despite not being at his sharpest.
He walked four batters and threw only 65 strikes of his 114 pitches but wriggled out of jams and combined with the two relievers on a four-hitter.
Matheny, however, said he continued to be impressed by Wacha.
"I don't know what else you could ask," he said. "Put him on any stage and he does a real nice job of limiting distractions."
John Lackey was an unlucky loser for Boston, charged with three runs on just five hits in 6-1/3 innings.
Wacha and Lackey had been locked in a taut pitchers' duel through five innings with the Cardinals leading 1-0 thanks to a lead-off triple in the fourth by Matt Holliday, who scored on a soft grounder by Yadier Molina.
Clutch-hitting Ortiz hammered his fifth home run of the postseason with Dustin Pedroia aboard to put Boston 2-1 ahead in the sixth and send the sold-out Fenway crowd into raptures.
However, the joy was short-lived as the Cards dealt the Red Sox a killer blow in the seventh.
After allowing a walk and a single, Lackey gave way to lefty reliever Craig Breslow.
A double steal by St Louis put runners on second and third with one out and a walk to Daniel Descalso loaded the bases.
Matt Carpenter then flied out to left and outfielder Jonny Gomes unleashed a throw to the plate, hoping to nail pinch-runner Pete Kozma at home.
The bullet throw arrived just as Kozma slid in but was slightly wide of the mark.
Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia stretched to make the catch and try a sweep tag, but did not control the ball as Kozma scored.
Breslow, backing up the play, tried to throw out John Jay as he raced toward third but his attempt sailed over the head of third baseman Xander Bogaerts and allowed Jay to score.
A single by Carlos Beltran, who returned to the lineup after suffering a rib injury in Game One, brought Descalso home to cap the three-run salvo in which Saltalamacchia and Breslow were charged with errors.
The series now shifts to St Louis for the next three games with Game Three scheduled on Saturday.
"Excited to get home. I know everybody is," Matheny added. "Being able to take the World Series back to St Louis and have our home fan base supporting us.
"These last couple of days... it meant a lot to be able to play here in Fenway. It's a pretty unique experience for a lot of guys that have never played here before to be able to do it on this stage. But there's no place like home."

There are some tasks that computers and software programs just can't perform. Sometimes, these tasks are tedious or the 'resources' required to complete them require more man-power than you have.
The concept of 'crowdsourcing' has been borne out of this.
The crowdsourcing proposition is simple – harness a 'crowd' to complete difficult or otherwise time-consuming tasks. Although the concept of crowdsourcing has been applied with mixed results online, the concept itself makes a lot of sense.
So if you have a fairly simple task but that requires lots and lots of manpower, where can you find a crowd?
Amazon's Mechanical Turk may be the solution you've been looking for.
Mechanical Turk allows you to write applications that pose tasks (called Human Intelligence Tasks, or HITs) that are fulfilled by real humans (called providers). Need providers to meet certain qualifications before taking on your HITs? No problem – requesters can ask providers to complete tests before the HITs are presented.
What type of tasks have been completed using Mechanical Turk? Amazon originally created Mechanical Turk to help it located duplicates on its own website. Since then, Mechanical Turk has been used to transcribe podcasts, tag images and rewrite articles. More recently, it has even been used to search for missing persons using satellite photos.
In short, there's a lot that can be accomplished with Mechanical Turk. But is it right for you?
Obviously, Mechanical Turk costs money. Most of the time, providers are only paid a few cents for each completed task so cost-wise, Mechanical Turk isn't likely to break the bank.
At the same time, because of the lack of real money in the marketplace, it's clear that many of the providers on Mechanical Turk are participating for fun, not because there's real money there incentivizing them to. I believe that you usually get what you pay for so if you have a mission-critical task that needs to be done quickly, needs to be done right and is a bit more complicated, putting all your eggs in the Mechanical Turk basket is probably not the best move.
There are also savvy individuals who have written 'bots' to complete tasks, so there's no guarantee that your tasks will be attempted by real humans. That's why posing qualification tests is such a good idea.
Of course, if a bot does not complete your task, you are not required to pay and technically, bots are not permitted under the Mechanical Turk terms of service so any provider using them is likely to get banned.
I used Mechanical Turk recently to compile some information from a list of websites and was pleased with the results. For simple tasks like this, I think Mechanical Turk is a crowdsourcing option well worth looking at.

Moonrise Kingdom (PG-13)
Cast: Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton
Release Date: May 25, 2012
Runtime: 1 hr. 33 mins.
Genre: Drama
Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, two twelve-year-olds fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore -- and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle.
Benjamin Britten's operatic interpretation of the 15th century play Noye's Fludde (Noah's Flood) was written to be performed in a large hall by a cast of amateurs, often calling on the audience to sing along. It's a rousing piece of music and a perfect fit as the foundation of Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom. Like the opera, the spirited tale of young love is whimsical and bold, juxtaposing a group of unknown young people alongside a handful of professionals: Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand and Bruce Willis. Even more so than his previous work, Anderson's design and camera choices are overt and self-aware. The result is an endeavor closer to theater than film, a living storybook with the emotional depth to boot. That doesn't quite work for his adult costars, but when the action hones in on the central duo, two outcast children smitten with one another, it's a touching portrait that mesmerizes both the eyes and the heart.
Sam (Jared Gilman) is a down-on-his luck orphan, sent off to Khaki Scout camp on the verdant New England island of New Panzance. Suzy (Kara Hayward) is a misunderstood teenager with aggressive tendencies, who bides her time on New Panzance by reading fantasy books and hoping one day to escape. When the two eventually cross paths at a performance of Noye's Fludde! it's love at first sight. After a snail mail correspondence, Sam and Suzy run away together, their adventure sparking everyone on the island to gather for a search party. Anderson treasures an ensemble, and cuts between Sam and Suzy's personal journey and the ragtag team of desperate adults: Suzy's lawyer parents (McDormand and Murray), police captain Sharp (Willis), bumbling Khaki Scout leader Scout Master Ward (Norton) and an island expert (Bob Balaban), who's also on hand to narrate the escapades from an all-knowing perspective.
The script, co-written by Anderson and Roman Coppola, feels perfectly in tune with the wonderfully weird kids the auteur has assembled for his lead roles. The dialogue is honest and raw it sounds like what kids might say. In a stretch during the middle of the movie, Anderson slows down the pace of his madcap mission movie to settle in with Suzy and Sam on a scenic cove beach. There, they spend time reading, dreaming and thanking their lucky stars to be away from the rest of the world. Shot with a stunning, earthly palette, the sequence is one of Anderson's best. When the adults factor back in, the movie loses its vivid innocence, diluted by characters that don't go anywhere and jokes that feel happenstance.
There's a lot to chew on in Moonrise Kingdom, and a lot to love. Norton stands out among the older crew, his Scout Master nutty, neurotic and less mature than his teenage troop. Murray and McDormand provide a necessary humanity to the whole affair, as Suzy's kooky but tangible parental figures. There's no time to dwell on any one character, so they all feel like sketches albeit ones you'd love to see in a movie all their own. Anderson's piles on more and more and more as Moonrise Kingdom scales the cinematic mountain, even managing to squeeze in a scene of destruction worthy of Roland Emmerich. He presents the smorgasbord of ideas in a low-fi fashion that's all his own certain moments even recall the animation style of Fantastic Mr. Fox but the visual and comedic chaos only coalesces when the kids are on screen. Moonrise Kingdom is a coming of age movie that I hoped would never come of age.
Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, two twelve-year-olds fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore -- and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle.

When Amanda first came to Dr. Sachs for treatment, she had attempted suicide more than once. Withdrawn and cynical, she refused to speak during her therapy sessions. Determined to connect, Dr. Sachs tried something unconventional: he wrote letters to Amanda between sessions and invited her to write back, thinking she might feel more comfortable opening up in this way—and indeed she did. This correspondence gradually built trust between them, helping her to survive and ultimately to heal.
When No One Understands consists of twenty letters that Dr. Sachs wrote to Amanda over the course of her therapy. In these letters, Sachs reaches out to Amanda with the core message that there is nothing wrong with her—that adolescence is painful, complex, and challenging for everyone and that her emotional pain deserves to be honored, openly explored, and viewed with compassion. Dr. Sachs also addresses many of the common questions and concerns shared by all teens on such topics as relationships, breakups, drugs and alcohol, parents, family dynamics, and more.
Along the way, Dr. Sachs offers adults an inspiring image of a truly open, human-to-human relationship between an adult and a teenager. Parents, mental health professionals, guidance counselors, educators, and others who work with teens will see how they might also bring honesty, compassion, and humility to bear in their interactions with young people in order to create truly healing and supportive relationships.
"A collection of sensitive, cogent, and touching observations and counsel on many of the universal themes facing adolescents as they try to navigate the tricky voyage from childhood to adulthood." —Spirituality & Practice
"Sachs's letters are gems. . . . This excellent book will be savored again and again." —Library Journal (starred review)
"Sachs's letters serve as an excellent model for encouraging communication with a teen. . . . If all adults could incorporate this kind of intrinsic respect into their conversations with adolescents, the world would be a wonderful place." —VOYA
"A book of unique kindness and clarity that will be comforting and illuminating to parents and teens alike." —Rosalind Wiseman, author of Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and Other Realities of Adolescence

The gateway to Scottsdale's Fasion Square and PF Chang's Anchor restaurant. Directly south, you will see the bridge that crosses the canal that flows through the Scottsdale waterfront.
This downtown Scottsdale district stretches along the south side of the revamped Arizona Canal on west Stetson?Drive. The creation of developer Fred Unger, Southbridge is a $41 million urban, pedestrian-friendly development notable?because it only has independently-owned boutiques and restaurants; there are no chains. Along with the Scottsdale Waterfront, it is one of the newest downtown Scottsdale revitalization projects. Although it is only 3 acres, Southbridge packs a lot into a few blocks. Part of the Southbridge Scottsdale district overlooks the Waterfront?park, its tree-lined sidewalks and open air courtyards give it a European flair. The Southbridge Scottsdale retail area is called The Mix. This bi-level center is an eclectic collection of shops.

polvo needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 100 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
We need a logo for the HistoryCommons - a website that provides an open space for members of the public to collaborate on the documentation of history and the oversight of governments and powerful private interests.
We are looking for a NEW look. So we don't need a logo based on the current design (which is horrible anyways). Read brief more details.
We want a fresh, clean, professional web2.0-ish logo for the History Commons, a website that provides an open space for members of the public to collaborate on the documentation of history and the oversight of governments and powerful private interests.
Brief summary of how website works:
Contributors write summaries of historical events which are published as entries in a timeline. "event-summaries" can be included in any number of timelines, which are often compiled for the purpose of investigating an issue or scandal. Our HistoryCommons database is in effect a library of event-summaries that anyone can use for any purpose, and which any one can modify (like a Wiki)
In addition to contributors, there are also researchers-journalists, authors, congress people, etc, who search through the database to find obscure documented information.
What we are looking for:
The winning design will convey the the core concepts of the History Commons project, some of which are listed below. A more in-depth discussion of our core objectives is described here:
So here's a summary of concepts:
- That a historical narrative written by the public can be more complete, and therefore accurate, than a history written by the narrow interests of Western governments and the corporate media.
- That a large community of historians, participatory journalists, and other concerned members of the public working together in a collaborative fashion can report on events and document history at a level of competency and thoroughness that rivals the efforts of the corporate media.
- That a *common* repository of historical data that is produced and consumed by the public is a valuable public asset that facilitates democratic action.
- That public ownership of the means of documenting history and distributing information about current events is fundamental to democracy.
- Clean, professional
- tag-line - "Where You Write History", unless you can think of a better one. We're open.
- to consist of at least two colors, but not so many that it looks too busy--perhaps dark grey and green, or orange or blue. It's up to you. if you think it will look good, go for it.
- vector
- not cartoonish
- not flashy
- no hot pinks
- not curly
- not silly

t last we have an introduction to the Pre-Raphaelites that one can enthusiastically recommend. When I began teaching courses on Pre-Raphaelitism in literature and the arts way back in 1969, I found few books that I could use in teaching, though of course eventually we had Mary Bennett's seminal catalogues to which we could refer students as well as the work of Staley and Surtees. I first assigned Raymond Watkinson's still-useful Pre-Raphaelite Art and Design, but as its title suggests it tends to emphasize the later Rossettian stream of the movement and its crucial influence on art and design. In addition, like many works at the time, it had very few color illustrations. Anyone born in the last three decades or so will find difficult getting a sense of how much less visual information we had with which to work before the recent advances in computer-based publication and color printing. Just as the appearance of a new scholarly edition of an individual author's works almost immediately generates large amounts of historical scholarship and literary criticism about that author, so, too, exhibitions and widely available reproductions have the same effect on individual artists and broader movements with which they may be associated. Therefore, a book like Christopher Wood's The Pre-Raphaelites has great value, despite some drawbacks, such as an inadequate view of the complexities of Pre-Raphaelitism. Woods knows as much as anyone does about Victorian painting, and as a leading dealer, he has access to an enormous number of relevant works, some little known or even entirely unknown. Expensive as it is, Wood's book was the next I used. Now Barringer's excellent brief introduction is the obvious book to use, at least when discussing early Pre-Raphaelitism.
The book, which confines itself quite strictly to paintings by the chief members of the PRB, Madox Brown, and a very few associates, such as Inchbold and Brett, consists of a fine introduction and five excellent chapters: "Rebellion and Revivalism," "Truth to Nature," "Modern Life," "Art, Religion and Empire," and "Pre-Raphaelites and Aesthetes." It does not discuss the poetry and other writings of these artists, and neither does it have room to include either the so-called later Pre-Raphaelites, such as E. R. Hughes, J. W. Waterhouse, J. L. Byam Shaw, or important women artists, such as Emma Sandys or Evelyn de Morgan. The advantage of such rigorous staying on topic appears in the admirably complete idea of early Pre-Raphaelitism Barringer conveys with his clear, forceful, and interesting style.
Barringer's introduction does an admirable job of concisely placing the Brotherhood in the contexts of romanticism, mid-Victorian Britain, including "taxonmic spirit of the period" (15), the effect of photography, and the critical fortunes of the movement in the later nineteenth- and twentieth centuries. In addition to his convincing analysis of Millais's Isabella, I especially like observations like the following:
Pre-Raphaelite landscape implies an industrial city as its unspoken other and the outer London suburbs, with their interpenetration of country and city, proved a fascinating subject. Ironicaly, the maturity of the railway network in the 1850s, a proud symbol of modernisation, allowed an unprecedented freedom of movement which was of particular benefit to landscape painters. It was extensively used by all the Pre-Raphaelite circle, conveying, for example, Ruskin and Millais to Scotland. [17]
The first chapter, "Rebellion and Revivalism," includes crucial discussions of medievalism, Pugin and the Gothic revival, Brown and the frescoes in the new houses of Parliament, the Nazarenes, and the formation of the Brotherhood. "Truth to Nature," the next chapter, concerns landscape and consists of excellent discussions of key works by Brett, Brown, Collins, Hunt, Inchbold Millais, Ruskin, and Turner. I especially appreciated the sections on Brown's landcspaes, in large part because he is a painter whom I have often found difficult to give his due. "Modern Life," chapter three, contains sections on "Modern Life and Genre," gender relations, "The Fallen Woman," and "Men at Work," this last topic being the subject of an entire book by the author. Barringer here discusss several obviously central works of the PRB circle, including Hunt's The Awakening Conscience, Brown's Work, Hughes's The Long Engagement, and Martineau's The Last Day in the Old Home as well as lesser known works, such as Hunt's The Children's Holiday. Although Barringer is absolutely correct in emphasizing the essentially middle-class beliefs embodied by many of the these paintings, I think he much underestimates their radical nature. From their very first works, like Millais's Isabella and Hunt's Rienzi and The Awakening Conscience, these would-be art revolutionaries followed Thomas Carlyle in despising the aristocracy. Like the first Reform Bill, which began the transference of political power from the landed gentry and nobility to the middle classes, these Pre-Raphaelite works make an attack on the ruling clases whose jarring nature is today hard to realize.
"Art, Religion and Empire" does an excellent job of setting forth the complexities of Britsh religion in the Victorian period and its relation to the arts. Sections enitled "Tractarian Tendencies," "Muscular Christianity," "The Light of the World," and "Religion, Race and Empire: Holman Hunt in the Holy land," and "Typological Sybolism" skillfuly use individual paintngs and modern post-colonial theory to illuminate a rich subject. My only reservation here concerns what Barringer takes to be Hunt's anti-semitism, something a little odd in relation to a painter whose ethnographic realism led the Illustrated London News to attack him for depicting Christ in The Finding of the Saviour in the Temple as "a Jew-boy in the streets." As I pointed out thirty years ago in "William Holman Hunt and the Missionaries," the artist (who later became a fervent zionist) alienated his obvious sources of patronage when he published a long pamphlet attacking Church of England-sponsored attempts to converts Jews in the Holy land. In addition, what Barringer takes to be chiefly a satire on the rabbis in The Finding Hunt also intended as an attack on Christian Pharisees; such use of older figures to represent (and sometimes mock) contemporaries being a standard technique of Victorian novels and poems about religion set in the past, such as those by Newman, Kingsley, Browning, and others.
A final chapter effectively discusses the movement away from the earlier emphases of the Brotherhood towards the aestheticism of Rossetti and those many others he influenced. Rossetti here receves his due, and Burne Jones maks an important appeaance. Here I particularly like not only all the discussions of Rossetti but also the balance and tact with which he discusss the complex relation of one of my favorite paintings, Millais's Autumn Leaves, to Ruskinian theory, the PRB, and later aestheticism.
I have a few admittedly minor reservations, but these involve only matters of emphasis about topics that Barringer does mention and that I frankly admit are my paricular hobby horses, the first of which is my belief that Northern Renaissance painters like Van Eyck and Memling had far greater importance for the early Pre-Raphaelites than did painters of the Italian Renaissance. Second, I find compelling Hunt's version of the origins of the PRB, which makes the second volume of Ruskin's Modern Painters with its typological reading of Tintoretto's Scuola di San Rocco Annunciation the initial inspiration for Hunt and Millais rather than the first volume. Granted, Hunt's obviously recreated (and at times possibly created) long passages of remembered dialogue make one suspect their veracity, but in this case a letter from Millais to Hunt after he first published his account of the origins of the PRB in the 1886 Contemporary Review strongly supports his version. I believe it was only after Coventry Patmore forced Ruskin to look at Millais's painting at the Royal Academy, pointing out that he and his fellows followed Ruskin's advice to young painters at the end of the first volume, did the emphasis shift. The fact that paintings by Rossetti, Millais, Hunt, and Collins plus Collinson's poem in the The Germ all all make central use of typology convinces me that the PRB was first inspired to create a synthesis of anti-conventional hard-edged realism with elaborate symbolism and not just that pictorial style alone. But these are minor reservations about an excellent introduction to Pre-Raphaelitism.

In June of 1986, River Bend Nuclear Station in
St. Francisville, La. became the second nuclear power plant to produce
electricity in Louisiana. June 2011 marked River Bend's next milestone as it
celebrated 25 years of safe and reliable operation.
River Bend received a power upgrade of
approximately 52 megawatts in 2003 and now generates 974 megawatts of
electricity. River Bend's output meets approximately 10 percent of the total
energy demand of Louisiana.
At River Bend, it has always been a goal to
continuously serve the community in which we operate. Through grants from
Entergy, River Bend promotes tourism, after-school development, drug and
alcohol awareness and recreational opportunities in St. Francisville, West
Feliciana Parish and East Feliciana Parish. River Bend employees maintain a
strong presence within the community through volunteer efforts as well as
educating the public about nuclear energy. These opportunities range from
elementary school visits and presentations to state university tours, Baton
Rouge Earth Day, Girl Scout and Boy Scout Nuclear Science Days, St.
Francisville Summer Fest and National Nuclear Science Week.

Generating electricity with nuclear energy prevents the emission of
pollutants like sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) and greenhouse
gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) associated with burning fossil fuels.
During 2013, environmental emissions avoided due to nuclear power plant
operation in Louisiana included 19.525 short tons of sulfur dioxide, 13,999
short tons of nitrogen oxide and 12 million metric tons of carbon dioxide.*
Emissions of SO2 lead to the formation of acid rain. NOx is a key precursor
of both ground-level ozone and smog. Greenhouse gases like CO2 contribute to
global warming.
* Source: Emissions avoided by nuclear power are calculated using
regional fossil fuel emissions rates from the Environmental Protection Agency
and plant generation data from the Energy Information Administration.

For some odd reason Amazon Wireless is not yet aboard the Lumia 920 train but Walmart sure is, as they have put the device on sale on their site. What's more, they have even undercut AT&T by selling the device for $50 cheaper at just $49.99 on a two-year contract. That's one heck of a deal if you're looking to jump in on what we consider to be the best Windows Phone around.
The off-contract price is still at an over-inflated $699, so there is no deal there. Colors are cyan, white, black and red with yellow noticeably absent. In addition if you look closely, they have the 820's image instead of the 920 for the black version. Whoops!
And if you're into the Lumia 820 that of course has been dropped from AT&T's $49 price to just $0 on a two-year contract.
Head to Walmart to check for your regional availability. Thanks, Vishnu S, for the heads up!

Robbie Keane scored late in the first half and the Galaxy bounced back from a season-opening loss with a 1-1 draw against Real Salt Lake on Saturday in Sandy, Utah.
Alvaro Saborio had his first goal of the season for Salt Lake (1-0-2), which drew for the second consecutive match. The Galaxy (0-1-1) stole a road point against the team that beat them in the MLS season opener.
Salt Lake struck in the 19th minute when Joao Plata crossed the ball to Saborio, who was unmarked in the corner of the goal area. He took full advantage by firing the ball from just outside the 6-yard box for an easy goal.
The Galaxy capitalized on a poor pass by Chris Wingert at midfield to pull the goal back before halftime. Following the takeaway, Keane out-maneuvered Chris Schuler and threaded the ball past Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando and inside the goal post in the 35th minute.
Goats fall on road
Fabian Castillo, Je-Vaughn Watson and Michel scored in a 15-minute span of the second half to keep FC Dallas unbeaten with a 3-1 victory over Chivas USA in Frisco, Texas.
Dallas (2-0-1) sits atop the Western Conference with an MLS-best seven points.
