Kings of the Cup: Galaxy vs. Dynamo by the numbers
A side-by-side comparison of the two teams in Saturday's championship match
November 30, 2012
Special to MLSsoccer.com
All stats researched from data provided by the Elias Sports Bureau.
- 8 – MLS Cup championships, of the last 12, that will have been won by either the LA Galaxy (2002, 2005, 2011) or the Houston Dynamo (2006, 2007) and the Dynamo's previous incarnatin, the San Jose Earthquakes (2001, 2003). The teams will also have finished runner-up a combined four times (LA 2001, 2009; Houston 2011; TBD 2012), accounting for one half of the 24 appearances in the MLS Cup over those 12 years.
- 491 – Minutes since a Houston Dynamo player still on his feet scored against the LA Galaxy at The Home Depot Center; it was Franco Caraccio in a 2-2 tie on April 19, 2008. Since then, the Galaxy have beaten Houston five consecutive times in LA, including three by 1-0 scorelines (winners by Todd Dunivant and Landon Donovan twice, one by penalty) and the 2009 Western Conference Championship in extra time (Gregg Berhalter, Donovan penalty). The lone Houston goal came in a 4-1 rout in 2010, when Cam Weaver blocked a Donovan Ricketts clearance into goal but was knocked out after colliding with Ricketts on the play.
- 0.67 – Career playoff goals against average (810 minutes) of Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall, the second-lowest mark in MLS history behind Adin Brown (0.66). Hall could pass Brown with a 90-minute shutout.
- 0.73 – Career playoff goals-against average (864 minutes) of LA Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Saunders, the third-lowest mark in MLS history among goalkeepers with at least 300 minutes and fourth lowest overall. Saunders could tie Brown mark with a 90-minute shutout or pass him with a 120-minute shutout.
- 21, 12 – Goals and assists, respectively, for Donovan in 33 career playoff games. Saturday's final will be his 34th career playoff game, matching the length of the league's current regular season.
- 4 – Houston players expected to start this year's final in the same position as last year's final: Hall, Bobby Boswell, Adam Moffat, Calen Carr. The number could drop to three if Carr is held out of the lineup; he is listed as probable with a hamstring inury.
- 8 – LA Galaxy players expected to start this year's final in the same position as last year's final: Saunders, Sean Franklin, Omar Gonzalez, Dunivant, Juninho, David Beckham, Mike Magee, Robbie Keane. The number could rise to 10 if Donovan starts in midfield and A.J. DeLaGarza starts at center back.
- 8 – Houston players who started at the same position in both the 2006 and 2007 championship games: Pat Onstad, Craig Waibel, Eddie Robinson, Ryan Cochrane, Wade Barrett, Brian Mullan, Dwayne De Rosario, Brad Davis.
- 0 – Houston players who have appeared in all three of the club's MLS Cup finals. Brian Ching (2007) and Davis (2011) both missed finals due to injury, and Ricardo Clark missed the 2006 edition to injury and 2007 due to suspension. Robinson was a substitute in the 2011 final but did not play.
- 2 – Galaxy players who have appeared in the club's last three MLS Cup finals (2005, 2009, 2011): Donovan and Dunivant.
- 8 – Players from each team who were on the 18-man rosters for the 2009 Western Conference Championship game and are expected to dress for Saturday's MLS Cup final. LA's total rises to nine if Bryan Jordan dresses. The Galaxy total includes seven expected starters; Houston's includes five.
- 8 – Game-winning playoff goals by Donovan, the most in MLS history. Jaime Moreno, who ranks second, has only five.
- 4 – Game-winning playoff assists by Donovan and Beckham, tied for fourth in MLS history. The top total is five, shared by league greats Marco Etcheverry, Cobi Jones and Mullan. Beckham has played at least 500 fewer minutes than any player in the top six.
- 3 – Game-winning playoff assists by Houston Dynamo midfielder Davis, tied for seventh in league history with Houston assistant coach Steve Ralston and six others.
- 8 – Career playoff assists by Houston's Davis and LA's Beckham, tied for 10th in MLS postseason history. Donovan has 12 to rank fourth, two behind former Galaxy star Mauricio Cienfuegos.

Iowa Rep. Jack Drake and state Sen. Hubert Houser visited Creston Saturday for a legislative coffee, sponsored by Creston Chamber of Commerce, with members of the community to discuss what is on the people's minds. The people zeroed in on money.
Corn check
There were several farmers in the room, and Houser asked the people their thoughts on the Iowa Corngrower's Association's required checkoff for corn. The current thought is to eliminate the tax cap for corn producers with this corn check.
The corn checkoff is a tax on corn that currently stands at 1 cent per bushel. The money is managed under the Iowa Corn Promotion Board. The board promotes the different uses for corn, such as high fructose corn syrup and ethanol.
Some farmers were in favor of the check, such as Ron Riley, who is also a Union County supervisor. He said there should be a cap on the amount a farmer is taxed. Tom Henderson also said he had no problem with the tax.
"Obviously, expenses go up, acreages go up," said Riley. "... I imagine 1 cent per bushel needs to be raised."
Others, such as Mike Brentnall, said the tax cap should not pass.
"Personally," said Brentnall, "I think it's just another tax on the producer."
Property tax
Creston mayor Warren Woods asked Drake and Houser about the commercial property tax. He was in opposition, and asked if cities were going to get money down the road.
"I want to express my opposition to that," said Woods, "mainly because of the backfill that's involved with it. I do believe that the Senate bill is worthy of consideration because that affects everybody, that affects small businesses more and it doesn't leave that open for ... if the city is going to get money down the road."
Houser said he wants to see something done on property taxes, since commercial property tax is 100 percent of market value and residential and agricultural land taxes are only 50 percent.
"I would really like to see them do something on property tax relief," said Houser. "We haven't had any in a long time."
Iowa development
Wayne Pantini spoke with Drake and Houser concerning the small business development center. He said the center used to receive state and federal funds and matched local funds, but recently state funds have "dwindled to almost nothing now, with almost no sustainability."
"I'm concerned with the sequester that's coming up that we're going to be losing some of our federal support," Pantini said, "thus leaving us, more than likely, with the inability to provide services for this area."
Houser told Pantini to check with Iowa Economic Development and the tax credits that are available.
Pantini then said he thought state tax credits should lift the cap to $185 million because the credits are only usable once.
Houser then talked about anhydrous plants in Iowa. He said Keokuk was able to get Midwest disaster bonds through FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and the plants used them before the expiration date. He said looking at the overall investment the plants made, the federal investment was "very small" in the long run.
Also discussed at the legislative coffee:
• Drake said a bill has been presented for an increase in the gas tax, but currently there is little talk of the bill. The gas tax is meant to improve the local infrastructure. Houser said people living in rural areas tend to approve of the gas tax.
• Brentnall questioned the state requirement of drug testing if someone is in a state job position, but the lack of required drug testing for those applying for welfare. Houser was receptive to the thought. Florida and other states have passed bills for the same requirement.
• Drake said the increase of salary for state employees went into arbitration because the two parties could not agree. Drake said he was unsure how much of an increase the employees will get.
• Mike Henry asked Houser and Drake their opinion on webcam abortions. Neither knew what a webcam abortion was, so Henry explained that a doctor from a different area could counsel a patient via webcam and give her a prescription to abort. Henry suggested legislation prohibit webcam abortions. Drake explained that anti-abortion bills have been passed and gone to the Senate, but with no results.
• The next coffee is scheduled for March 23.

Mark Holmes hails Juventus' defending of corners against Celtic and blasts the scheduling of the Liverpool v Swansea Premier League game.
Celtic complaints will come to nothing
After doing terrifically well to make it out of the Champions League group stage, Celtic's relative lack of quality was exposed by a hugely-impressive display from Juventus at Parkhead on Tuesday night. Despite penning Juve in their own half for long periods Celtic were beaten 3-0, with two mistakes from Efe Ambrose proving costly.
However, it was not the defensive mistakes nor Juve's superb counter-attacks which dominated discussions in Britain that evening or the following day. Instead it was the apparent injustice Celtic suffered at the hands of Spanish referee Alberto Mallenco.
If you watched the game on British television, you might well believe the Hoops would have won the game were they awarded all of the clear penalties they ought to have been given. Celtic won 10 corners throughout the game and, so the story goes, saw at least one of their players impeded as each one of them was taken.
"They (Celtic's players) were being fouled at every occasion," Neil Lennon said. "They (Juventus' players) were putting their arms around players, blocking their runs, trying to pull them down."
Predictably, nothing was said by anyone about Gary Hooper's persistent attempts to stand in front of Gigi Buffon and back into Stephan Lichtsteiner, who had the task of trying to shield his goalkeeper from the Celtic striker.
Many will argue Hooper did nothing wrong. After all, there is no rule which prevents a player from standing directly in front of a goalkeeper.
However, what Hooper undoubtedly would have done had he been allowed to was to prevent Buffon from moving forward to claim any high ball in his vicinity. It is a foul to block a player from moving, but it is a foul which, David De Gea will testify, is rarely given. Goalkeepers are expected to simply shove attackers out of the way to claim a catch.
Lichtsteiner, however, made sure Buffon did not have to do that. It was good, strong defending from the Juve man, the sort which probably would have been applauded were it a Celtic defender holding off a big lump who wanted to stand in the way of the goalkeeper.
These types of battles are common between defenders and attackers in the penalty area, and it is extremely rare that there is a clear aggressor and victim. No matter how much some people on these shores might convince themselves otherwise, Hooper's battle with Lichtsteiner was not one of those rarities.
Liverpool v Swansea scheduling made no sense
Few Liverpool fans will be complaining today, but the scheduling of the Reds' game against Swansea was ridiculous.
With both clubs knocked out of the FA Cup, they were asked to play their Premier League game at Anfield, originally scheduled for next weekend, on Sunday..
In some circumstances, it might have suited Liverpool and Swansea, but the game came just three days after Liverpool played a Europa League game in Russia. They also played West Brom on Monday night and have the home leg of their tie against Zenit St Petersburg to come this Thursday. That amounts to four games in 11 days.
The situation was summed up perfectly by Brendan Rodgers: "To put it in on a week when we have played on a Monday and played on a Thursday in an away trip to Russia, and put it in between that and another important European game on Thursday...I think it is another example of the Premier League in this country not helping teams whatsoever.
"I think every other country in Europe will always try to help their teams - some of them will play on a Friday before a European game.
"So for us to have it thrown in there when there were other free weeks was bemusing to say the least."
The match was just as much of an annoyance for Swansea. Although they do not have the same fixture pile-up as Liverpool, they do have arguably the biggest game in their history, the Capital One Cup final against Bradford, to prepare for this Sunday.
Eighth in the Premier League with no chance of relegation, it was inevitable that Swans boss Michael Laudrup would effectively write off the trip to Anfield.
However, the seven changes Laudrup made to his side were not fair on the Swans supporters that made the trip to Merseyside.
League One and Two clubs are banned from making more than five changes to their team for Johnstone's Paint Trophy games, yet managers are free to field virtual reserve sides in the Premier League when it suits them.
That does the league's reputation as the most competitive no good whatsoever - Liverpool's 5-0 win on Sunday proved that - and can be unfair on other teams - West Brom, for example, were overtaken by Liverpool but may have expected Swansea to give the Reds a game under normal circumstances.
However, Laudrup cannot be blamed for prioritising a cup final over a game Swansea may well have lost anyway, which just makes it all the more ridiculous that the Premier League scheduled their trip to Liverpool for when they did.
Premier League not what it's cracked up to be
What do Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Norwich, QPR, Aston Villa, Sunderland and Newcastle have in common? Answer, they were all knocked out of the FA Cup by lower-league opposition.
For a league that likes to think of itself as not only the most competitive and entertaining but also one of the best quality leagues in the world, the Premier League's clubs haven't half struggled against apparently inferior opposition this season.
Everton were another top-flight club given a tough game by lower-league opposition in League One's Oldham on Saturday evening, while Chelsea played a fourth-round replay against Brentford the following day having drawn the original tie at Griffin Park.
And Bradford, of course, will play in the League Cup final this weekend having beaten Premier League Wigan, Arsenal and Aston Villa.
Throw in the ease at which promoted clubs are able to adapt to life in the top flight these days and the gap which an apparently average Manchester United side has built up at the top of the table, and it'd be difficult to argue the quality of the Premier League has not deteriorated in recent seasons.
Best league in the world? Not even close.
You can follow me on Twitter @Homzy for more of my moaning. I'll also be hosting a live chat on TEAMtalk from 2-4pm to discuss my latest blog and any other thoughts from the past week of football you may have.

You know how you always remember where you were when you heard some major news? The feeling of where you were at exactly that moment just stays with you?
That happened to me Monday afternoon. I was sitting at our photo computer station, and Publisher Rich Paulsen asked if I knew Curt Olson had a massive stroke over the weekend. The outlook wasn't every encouraging.
What a gut shot. My first reaction was extreme anger at myself. You see, I am in charge of interviews for the stories on inductees to the Creston Schools Hall of Fame at CHS homecoming. I had done two interviews last week, and planned to interview "Oly" this week.
I looked forward to rehashing old stories, and getting his reaction to being honored by the community he served for 22 years. Of course, we would needle each other. I would have told him we would likely have to cut off his induction speech for running over the time limit. But, no doubt it would be the most entertaining we've ever had.
Now, that wouldn't happen. We all prayed this week for the miracle that didn't come.
Early years
Curt Olson's life began and ended in the same fashion. He had a minor stroke as an infant, which affected his left side. He walked with a limp, which earned him the nickname "Chester," after the character with a disability in the TV show, "Gunsmoke."
But, growing up on a farm near Manilla, his father gave him the greatest lesson, which Curt carried on to others during his career. No excuses. He was expected to chip in and work around the farm just like everybody else.
He was a big man — 6-foot-4 and probably 350 pounds when I first met him in 1984 — and he had an opportunity to play football at Buena Vista College in Storm Lake, despite his limitations.
He arrived on campus in the fall of 1963 along with Rick Wulkow, now executive director of the Iowa High School Athletic Association. Wulkow played football, baseball and basketball there. Olson was student manager for basketball and baseball.
"We became very close friends," Wulkow said. "He was a defensive tackle. He played right tackle, so he could strong-arm to the outside to his good side. Despite this childhood affliction, he still had the courage and strength to play college football."
Like everyone else, Wulkow said he has "a zillion Curt Olson stories." This one, in particular, he'll never forget:
"We were playing at William Penn, down in Mount Pleasant," Wulkow said. "It was a wet night, and coach was substituting for Oly, so he comes running off the field. They had a snowfence behind the bench, to keep spectators away. Curt's dragging that leg, going full speed for him, and when he tried to stop, his feet went out from under him. He went sliding and took out about 10 yards of that fence!"
The work ethic Olson developed on the farm carried over to campus life. He took on several jobs, despite his busy load in athletics and attending classes.
"The guy would get up at 5 a.m. and deliver newspapers, then work for the maintenance department and be out scooping snow before class," Wulkow said. "He was always doing additional work, to get himself through school."
Education career
After starting his career in Pomeroy, Curt moved to Charter Oak-Ute in 1968. As head football coach there, his team once had a winning streak in excess of 30 games. This was before the state playoffs began in 1972.
He began his career as an athletic director there, and did the same at Maple Valley in Mapleton until moving to Creston in 1982. He became assistant principal and succeeded Bill Nielsen as athletic director.
Ron Levine, now 85, was CHS principal then and knew Olson from way back. Levine was principal in Schleswig, which was an arch rival of Charter Oak-Ute, when Olson was there.
Levine was a quiet, but firm leader with high standards. Olson shared many of the same philosophies — except the quiet part.
"He called a spade a spade, and he enjoyed the attention," Levine said. "You couldn't miss him."
KSIB's Gary Bucklin and I arrived here about the same time in the mid-1980s and we've both known Oly for roughly 30 years. Bucklin made an astute comparison, likening him to legendary baseball broadcaster Harry Caray.
"Just like Harry Caray, when he walked in a room, he lit up the place and he owned the room," Bucklin said. "Everybody knew when Oly got there."
For a couple of seasons, Bucklin and Olson traveled together broadcasting high school games on Friday nights.
"Tell you what, you try to put Curt and me into some of those little press box booths, like the old one at Glenwood, and it was like squeezing two sardines into a thimble!" Bucklin said, laughing. "He would watch the linemen and tell what they were doing. But I couldn't get him to keep any stats!"
'Officer down!'
At a state track meet, Bucklin made Wulkow double up in laughter, telling the famed "Officer down!" story involving Olson.
After retiring from CHS in 2004, and a brief, not totally successful venture trying to operate a tractor mower for the city of Creston, Olson became a part-time employee for Sheriff Rick Piel as a transport officer. He'd haul prisoners to various institutions and court appearances, sometimes referring to them as "my guys from school."
On one of those trips, Olson's sheriff's vehicle had a flat tire on Interstate 80 in Dallas County. Piel tells the story:
"You know how most people would just stand up and put the jack under the side of the car to lift it up?" Piel said. "Not Oly. He's underneath the car, trying to line up the jack under the axel. Meanwhile, somebody drives by sees his legs sticking out, and calls 911.
"Oly's under there working, and he hears the siren and a deputy's car approaching with lights flashing. Oly thinks the guy must really be in a hurry to get somewhere. All of a sudden, the car stops right behind him, and the deputy rushes over to ask him if he's OK."
"YEAH!" Olson bellowed. "I just got a flat tire!"
"We got a call of officer down," the deputy explained. State troopers, local police, every available officer in the area was about to descend on the scene to assist this fallen officer.
Of course, Oly being Oly, rather than be embarrassed by that story, he soaked it up. He could laugh at himself with that big high-pitched cackle as much as he could at anything else.
His style wasn't careful and calculating, and occasionally there were disputes to his position in trying to maintain discipline in the school. Nobody's perfect. He'd barge right into a classroom to retrieve a kid he needed to talk to, regardless of what the teacher was in the middle of doing. A bull-in-a-China shop style.
But, he had a knack of reaching kids about to slip through the cracks. Oly "saved" many would-be dropouts and steered them to a better life by gaining their diploma. It was a knack through tough love.
"He would get his message across," Wulkow said. "He could give you hell in a good way, and when you were done, everybody was laughing about it. It was a unique way of communicating."
Levine concurred, likening him in some ways to former Creston Junior High Principal Russell Hobbs, who passed away earlier this year.
"What some people really didn't know, is that they were both soft-hearted," Levine said. "Some of his discipline was probably achieved through fear. He could be growly with them. But, he'd take young people under his wing and encourage them to stay in school, to do their school work. He made them realize they were important people."
As an athletic director, Oly took Levine's direction seriously to attend to details of event management, to the point that Wulkow said the IHSAA could always trust Creston to be a good district tournament host. Oly also patroled the sidelines to keep kids in line.
"He was excellent in crowd management, and I felt that was important," Levine said. "We wanted folks to think we had halfway decent people around here."
The sportsmanship effort reached a pinnacle in 1997, when Creston not only won the boys state basketball championship, but the sportsmanship award in Class 3A. Oly broke down emotionally with the cheerleaders when the trophy was presented.
"Sportsmanship meant a lot to him," Levine said.
Lifetime coach
Two Olson traditions continued into retirement — an amazing Christmas light display by Curt and wife Beth each winter; and his unwavering love of football. Even this fall, at age 68, he continued to assist the eighth-grade team, particularly as a line coach.
Kristopher Hayes and Billy Hiatt are now the coaches, and their task Thursday was to take a group of young men up to Atlantic for a game, on the same day they learned of Oly's death. In practice all week, they feared the worst.
"It has been a tough week," Hayes said. "Our eighth-grade group, like numerous others, has a deep connection to coach Olson. I am humbled by the fact that Curt and I got to know each other, although briefly. Our team has discussed how much coach Olson has meant to the entire athletic program at Creston High School over the years. We wanted to represent what coach Olson was about. Coach Olson would want these kids to get on the bus and take care of business at Atlantic."
Final score Thursday afternoon: Creston/O-M 53, Atlantic 6. The B team won 14-0. Those kids displayed heart and desire as a tribute to their fallen coach.
Even to the end, Oly was pushing kids to do more than they realized they could.

It's almost summer which means it's time to plan mini getaways, warm trips, and long vacations! Personally, I spent my weekend on the gorgeous island of Catalina; Avalon to be exact. Of course, I did my homework ahead of time to determine what I needed to bring per weather restrictions, the verdict you ask? Sunny in the mid-70's! Sounded like perfect sun bathing weather, however I remembered that Catalina weather is always iffy. A beautiful sunshine-filled afternoon can have a wind chill leaving me freezing cold!
I decided to bring my new eco-friendly EMANI cosmetics with me, not only because the colors are brilliantly tropical (and healthy – 100% vegan!), but also because they have breathable products which are designed to perform in all kinds of elements; extreme heat, humidity or cold temperatures. They seemed like a perfect fit for my Catalina getaway!
EMANI is a rare breed: 100% vegan, 100% gluten free, 100% American made, cruelty free, PETA certified and award winning, paraben/talc/mineral oil/etc. etc. FREE! These stats made me think the company must create great green products, however I questioned if they would provide good enough coverage or rich enough shades. They actually wear very light but provide deep coverage just like our favorite, expensive, luxury brands. I was shocked.
A few of my favorite products I used this weekend were the Crushed Blush in Cancun Heat, the Flawless Matte Foundation in Nude Beige, and the Mosaic Eye Shadow in Feeling Mischievous. I was really glad I brought my EMANI round-up because Saturday was gorgeous and hot (mid-80's), but Sunday was sunny and freezing (the wind made it feel like low 60's!). Regardless, my makeup looked flawless throughout. Aside from the high-performing pigmented shadows like the gorgeous Crushed Mineral Color Dust in Bamboo, the best item I brought was the Vegan Travel Brush Set. This set should actually be incorporated into my daily beauty regimen, not just for travel. Unbelievably soft, the brushes allow for an even and easy application for all kinds of product. They even have a top secret way of affixing each individual bristle to the wand to ensure they never leave stray hairs on your face!
Thanks EMANI for making my Catalina trip full of luminous color, coverage, and all around excitement!

Is there a JavaScript library available to read data from a WFS server?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for cartographers, geographers and GIS professionals. It's 100% free, no registration required.
OpenLayers is the best IMHO. You can easily make WFS calls to an WFS service.
If you want to just return data and not map features, you can also do this. Or map features without the data, or both.
here are some examples:
Josh, you should be more precise and tell us if you want to use returned data or map features.
See capdragon answer regarding map features. If you only want to handle data, the following can be a good & light alternative :
If you want to parse a GetCapabilities WFS server response, you can just use jQuery because it's xml ( http://marcgrabanski.com/articles/jquery-makes-parsing-xml-easy ). You could also implement jQuery invoking GetFeature since output is xml/gml formatted

Throwing to the Mets
"Any time you have an opportunity to make a difference in this world and you don't, then you are wasting your time on Earth."
– Roberto Clemente
It was my fourth team in five days and I knew that the responsible thing to do was just warm up nice and easy. But there I was throwing with the Mets in left field and I was determined to try to throw as long and as far as they were. And I did. With a step-and-throw, I threw at head level to my partner standing in shallow centerfield. The same distance the players were throwing. When the Mets came in, so did I. And that just felt so cool. Like a dream. Like I was a New York Met.
As I waited to throw the first round of batting practice to the Mets, a player asked, "Are you the one who is throwing BP?" He then initiated a conversation about Title IX. Another guy in uniform, asked why I didn't just play softball. I replied, "I can't snap a curve ball in softball." We discussed my life mission of girls' baseball for every age group. We talked for so long, that a Mets coach had to call me to remind me it was my time to throw. Relaxed and in my zone, I jogged up to the mound, warmed up a few, and began to throw strikes.
This was my 6th MLB outing and I had gotten the hang of things. I was fairly relaxed. The L screen was the same style that I had trouble with when pitching to the Cardinals – it had thick padding around its rims. But this time, the screen was adjusted so that I could see home plate; it made me smile to think I had a quick learning curve. I didn't have the same zip on my fastball that I did when I threw to the Rays – my first stop in the Grapefruit League. But I threw consistent strikes. And it was fun. Later during the practice, a Mets coach offered that I threw better BP than him.
When I was done throwing, I spoke to a reporter, dropped my uniform pants off in the equipment room, and walked out to the players' parking lot like it was no big deal. No hoopla – just a job well done. And that was perfect. Like a dream. Where I'm just a regular ol' member of the New York Mets.

After years of delay, thousands of new homes are set to come to Prince George's County as ground was scheduled to be broken Thursday on a $2 billion project in Upper Marlboro.
The Walton Group of Companies, which is based in Alberta, Canada, was scheduled to have a groundbreaking ceremony on June 13 for the 479-acre Westphalia Town Center in Upper Marlboro.
Estimated completion costs were not available as of Tuesday, but development is expected to be a multi-year effort, said Craig Brownstein, a Walton spokesman.
The project, which is located near the intersection of Md. 223 and Pennsylvania Avenue near Joint Base Andrews, is expected to be a mixed-use community that will create about 15,000 permanent office and retail jobs, according to an analysis by the Walton Group.
Thomas Himler, the county's deputy chief administrative officer for budget finance and administration, said the project's anticipated $21 million in new tax revenue could pay for hiring additional police officers or firefighters.
"That's a lot of money," Himler said. "That's a lot of investment we could do."
When finished, the town center will include 1,287 townhomes, more than 1,200 apartments housing and 172 single family homes.
County Executive Rushern L. Baker III (D) said he was looking forward to the development and its potential to benefit the county as a whole.
"I'm exceptionally happy that it's coming to fruition," Baker said. "I think it anchors a big part of where we're focusing on in the county."
With Westphalia potentially becoming a home for between 40,000 to 50,000 people, the development could become a new community and financial hub, said County Councilman Derrick L. Davis (D-Dist. 6).
"I'm not going to make the assumption that we're going to be bigger than Bowie but we're going to give them a run for their money," said Davis, referring to the largest city in the county.
The first phase of the project, which will cover 110 acres and include 347 townhomes, more than 400 apartments and about 500,000 square feet of retail space, is expected to open around March 2014, said Rob Leinbach, president of Walton International (USA) Inc.
"It's been a long time coming and we're glad and grateful that we're the ones to get this opportunity," Leinbach said.
The project had been stalled since it was approved by the county government in 2009 after Daniel Colton, the original lead developer of the site, defaulted on a loan.
The Walton Group acquired the bulk of the property for $29.5 million from Wells Fargo in 2012.
"There were a lot of us who were concerned that it wouldn't happen," said David Harrington, president of the Prince George's Chamber of Commerce. "But it's too good of a site and the time is right where people are ready to move on."

We can assume that Alexander Wang was at least putting the final touches on his pre-fall '13 collection when he accepted the new position at Balenciaga. Whether or not the latter affected the former can't really be determined until February, but after taking the whole trajectory of Wang's collections into consideration, we think the designer is finally primed for the spaceman-meets-workingwoman sophistication of Balenciaga. This current pre-fall collection showed off Wang's more grown-up approach to dressing. Gone are the days of the downtown girl who's never held a job because she's too busy slinking around nightclubs — though, don't expect the 2013 Wang-ite to be at a normal job. Slick "work" backpacks, Prada-esque suit layering, and vests-as-dresses would never fly with a corporate HR (thank goodness), and we're glad to see that his commitment to making sweatpants-at-the-office happen hasn't eased up (it gives a whole new meaning to the sweatsuit).

And now his fires have gone out.
I saw that live. It was nasty. Gotta feel bad for the kid.
Good lord that looks awful. I hope this kid can make a full recovery.
Word on the Twitterverse is that he tore all four ligaments and dislocated his kneecap which could be seen pretty clearly. That's pretty terrible. I hope he can come back and play again, but I don't know now. That sounds catastrophic.
That is really a tough break for this kid. My prayers go out to him and hopefully he will recover and make it back on the field.
This is the second worst knee injury I've ever seen, after Napoleon McCollum (sp?) from the Raiders. This one is the only one that has actually shown a football players knee after the injury (meaning with his pads/pants pulled up and the way his knee looks is just unbelievable. Also his leg is clearly crooked on the ground.
If his injury is anything like McCollum's, not only might he not play football again, he might have trouble with just about anything. An injury that bad is catastrophic not just in football terms.
I know Robert Edwards suffered something similar playing beach volleyball and was at risk of amputation, but came back and played for us a little bit during Ricky's dream season. Who knows what'll happen.
Yeah I saw it, they should make tackling below the knees or cut tackling illegal.
It's sad to see a young players life forever change with 1 hit.
I am a gamecocks fan and have had the privilege of watching him play over the last few years... it is heart breaking injury for him, especially since he is not only a great player but from those around him a great person. As far as reports to what the injury is, it is all speculation at this time, MRI will be done over the next few days once swelling is down enough for them to be able to see the extent of the injury. It looks bad, but here is praying that it looked worse then what it is and he has a speedy and successful recover.

Elegant Fixture
Just love the way it turned out.Read More
Perfect complement to bathroom
This light went into my master bathroom...I have tall ceilings int here, and it came out perfect. I listed my house with this light, and sold the house in 3 days..one of the discussions the buyers mentioned why they liked my house so much vs. all of the other comparisons is because all of my lights were "custom!" I will take that, considering how reasonably priced this light fixture was.Read More
Beautiful mix
I LOVE this light and bought it 2 years ago when we were building our new house. I hung it above a free standing soaker tub and it looks fantastic! Very nice quality and you can't beat the price!Read More
Beautiful chandelier
I loved this chandelier. It is elegant and gives a lot of light. You can out it on a dimmer as well. We used it in a bedroom and it was just beautiful. Loved it!Read More
Beautiful light but a little cheap looking when you get close. Fortunately it hangs over the table and he can't get the close. However, I am one to pay attention to details like that. Looks beautiful light up.Read More
Looooooove It!!
1st of all I ordered it on Friday the 4th and received in on Thursday the 10th!! I'm in love with it!! I followed the directions and looked at the picture while placing the crystal pieces on, due to one review that said they did not realize there were different sizes of the crystals. I also looked for the white gloves due to one review that said they would have wished they had found the white gloves prior to placing the crystals pieces on. I found it easy to place the crystal pieces on. I did find it easier to use one glove to pick up the crystal piece and leave my other hand free of the glove to use my finger nails to open the little wire piece to connect the crystal piece to the chandelier. My son is not an electrician but he did follow the directions and turned off the electricity and connected it while I helped him by holding the Chandelier for him. It took us about 30 min. This Chandelier is Gorgeous!! The description Overstock gives is wrong as far as the color they state the lamp has a bronze finish...Not So!! The metal part of it is black as stated but the shade itself is more of an iridescent, shimmering, sparkly, glittery whitish, light silvery hue to it ( if you will). An absolute perfect compliment to the chrome candelabra. The light bulbs are standard chandelier bulbs that you can pick up at any hardware store or neighborhood drug store that sells light bulbs. I did pick up an inexpensive light dimmer at my hardware store for about 3 bucks, I already had a light plate that I liked and wanted to keep, so all I needed to do is pick up the manual knob you turn to the brightness you want, that took my son all of 10 min to install with the electricity off of course. I was vacillating back and forth with this Chandelier or another one that was $20.00 less but I am well pleased that I spent the extra 20 bucks!! But I'm so please with this one that I'm going to purchase the other Chandelier I had my eye on for my bedroom!! Also one review said their shade was crooked once hung. I too experienced that when we 1st hung it, all I did was grab the shade and did a few firm yet not to rough tugs to the direction I needed it to go and Bam!! It was perfect!!! Classy, Elegant, Beautiful, not over stated and definitely not under stated!! My sister said, Mannnnnnnn how much did you spend on this?? About $250 or more? I said nope Read More
Love this light
I really am very impressed with this light. For the price, it is even better. It came with probably 50 extra crystals in case some fall off or are lost. But it's quite sturdy, so I doubt I'll even use any of them. My only gripes: the instructions were photocopied and dim in spots and a bit hard to read. The "hot" wire has such microscopic writing on it I had great difficulty determining which it was. The black trim on the shade is not glued on terribly well. But please don't let my gripes take away from how thrilled I am with this product. I really love it. Sometimes I just turn it on to stare at it (it's in my entryway). I installed a Lutron dimmer on it also, which makes a huge difference. I recommend this product without reservation. Also, Overstock.com got it to me really quickly and in flawless condition. The packaging was great. This was my first purchase from them and I am sure I'll be back for more.Read More
This is so gorgeous in my bathroom over my tub. It is the focus of the room and well worth double the price. The crystals are so sparkly, but not over the top.Read More
Love this light
This light is so much prettier in person . My daughter wanted this for her room and she loves it as do I. The crystal add a nice sparkle and it puts out a nice amount of light. It was a bit of a challenge to attach the crystals so be sure to attach them before light is hungRead More
After having read the reviews, I couldn't wait to get this chandelier up in my dining room. When it arrived, however, it was packaged poorly and in a non-descript box. I soon discovered that one of the silver arms was completely loose. I was willing to give it another chance, but when we held it up, the shimmery plastic behind the metal just made the whole thing look really cheap. I was really surprised that the quality was so eh, and bummed that I had to return i.. To each his own, but I definitely think this is better served in a bedroom or walk-in closet, and not as a signature dining room chandelier.Read More

is this energy efficient lighting fixture
Hello lighting hardware, unfortunately this item is not listed as energy efficient. Thank you for shopping with us.
Why did you choose this product?
I like the elegance of it, it is going in the master bedroom and the price was perfect
For the combination of modern and elegant.
I like the look of "marrying" the elegance of the crystals with the more industrial type shade. I chose it as an accent to several additional pieces I ordered today as well. Finally, the reviews published were very helpful to me in finalizing the decision to buy.
Because we like it.
number of lights. Has black/dark features without dulling the amount of light produced. a nice mix of elegant and strong. Great reviews!
Perfect for my decor
Love the look to go with dining room set we ordered. Great price.
Looks nice!
We have one and liked it so got another one for another location
it has more hanging crystals than the other similar wrought iron option. Also the bottom half is silver colored and crystals only, not black throughout, which creates a more fluid balance of romantic (crystals) and industrial/ rustic (metal).
Because it is beautiful and unique!
What is the diameter of the chrome ceiling plate?
Hello lhowell62, The diameter of the chrome ceiling plate is 5.1 inches. Have a great day!
the chrome plate that came with the light doesn't cover the hole in my ceiling by an inch, any suggestions on where to get one?
Hello KelseyJ, unfortunately we do not offer any larger ceiling plates. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for shopping with us!
can this light be hung on a sloped ceiling?
Hello pharmie, this fixture can be hung on a sloped ceiling. Thank you for shopping with us! a.c.
i think it would be fine.
Does this chandelier come with a plug for an outlet with an on/off switch?
Hello beisenberg03, no, this chandelier must be hardwired. Thanks for shopping with us!
nope. you have to have it wired. it comes with a fairly short wire, so we "streched" it as long as it would go and I added more chain from my local hardware store since I have cathedral ceilings to get the right hight. Just barely enough cord. Not enough chain, so I added an almost perfect match, and you just don't notice it at all that it's not exact. I have mine on a dimmer and it works and looks fantastic.
I have an entry wall that is 18 feet tall and this would hang centered over an area about 10 feet wide. As you're going up the stairway the fixture would be on your right. Would this be the correct size fixture to place there? Also, how much does it weigh?
Hello ksremodeler, this chandelier should fit well in the area you described. This should hang down approximately 5 feet with the chain and chandelier. This chandelier weighs ten pounds. Please contact us if you need further assistance. Thanks for shopping with us!
No, it would be too small.
Is this fixture UL listed?
Hello kzangger, this fixture is UL listed. Thank you for shopping with us! Amanda
can this be used over a tub in a bathroom?
I do not see why not. My only concern is if the room gets a lot of humidty, it might corrode/tarnish over time.
do you have this in Brown?
Thank you for your question vlge. The closest one we have in brown, is the Antique Bronze 4-light Round Crystal Chandelier, item 12645624. Please check it out. Have a great day.
Would this be too overwhelming in a 11 x 8.5 size dining room in my apartment? Thanks!
It would look beautiful!!
Thank you for your question cmckeen. No, it would not be overwhelming for a room that size. Have a great day.
Not at all. Its not that big.
Am looking for a mini hanging chandelier that has a plug..
Thank you for your question summer60. Unfortunately, we do not have mini plug in chandeliers. But, we do have plug in wall sconces, Have a great day.
Would I be able to use this as a ceiling fan light kit?
Thank you for your question handyhomereno1451034523. No, unfortunately, the Indoor 4-light Chrome/ Crystal/ Metal Bubble Shade Chandelier cannot be used as a ceiling fan kit. Have a great day.
Would this fixture overwhelm a 48 inch round table? I live in an open concept condo and and my dining room table is the first thing you see when you walk up the stairs. I am hoping for a "wow" piece.
Thank you for your question cg3069. The Indoor 4-light Chrome/ Crystal/ Metal Bubble Shade Chandelier is a beauty, that's for sure and it has the wow effect. It sounds like a good match!! Have a great day.
It would be perfect . I own it and it's a wow piece
not at all, I put it in a small bathroom hanging above the freestanding sink and it looks awesome
Not overwhelming at all! I purchased this when I renovated my master bath! It's exquisite!You won't be disappointed! Better than the picture!
Not at all
Unfortunately, electrician no longer has the instructions.
Thank you for your question. Please inquire with our customer care team at 1-800-843-2446 and we should be able to get you some instructions for this product. Please let me know if you have any further questions, and thank you for shopping with us! Have a great day! Rachel
Do you have an image of this light and including canopy after installation? Not sure it was installed correctly by electrician. Thanks.
Thank you for your question scummbunnies. Unfortunately, we do not. Please refer to the instructions that came with the Indoor 4-light Chrome/ Crystal/ Metal Bubble Shade Chandelier. Have a great day.
How much wire comes with this light? Also, is it possible to purchase matching chain to extend longer than the 40 feet of chain that is included?
Hello, pardonourprogress. Hope your day is going well. The wire that comes with this light is 74.8 inches. You can purchase matching chain to extend the length of the existing one, but the wire will need to be extended as well. Please contact us if you decide to do so. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to get back to us with any further questions.
My first one arrived cut short, so I returned it and got another one. It had enough wire, but not enough chain for an 11 foot ceiling. I found more chain at either Lowe's or Home Depot that was the same shape exactly but not as shiny. We used it anyways and you can't tell. It had the amount of chain described in the original description by O.
Will it work on 220? I want to take it overseas?
Hello vonnie12, thank you for your interest in the Indoor 4-light Chrome/ Crystal/ Metal Bubble Shade Chandelier. This fixture does need to be hard wired. You don't plug it into the wall. Professional installation is recommended. Thank you for shopping with us, and have a great day!
