Mayoral race gets early start in Glendale
Glendale — It may only be August, but two candidates have already thrown their hats into the ring for the mayoral election in April.
The Glendale Clerk's Office has received declarations of candidacy from Fourth District Alderman Dick Wiese and Bryan Kennedy, who serves on the Glendale-River Hills School Board and the village's Fourth of July Committee.
Glendale has not held a mayoral election since former mayor Jerome Tepper resigned in February to be with his family in Virginia. Since Tepper's resignation, Common Council President JoAnn Shaw has served as acting mayor. The council recently decided to have Shaw continue in that role until April, when Tepper's term would have ended.
If no other candidates submit candidacy papers, Wiese and Kennedy will face off in a mayoral election on April 7. If more candidates enter the race, a primary election will have to be held on Feb. 17 to narrow the field down to two candidates, said Glendale Clerk Susanne Hanaman.
Although Wiese and Kennedy have both submitted their declarations of candidacy, they will not be able to start circulating nomination papers until December. Any candidates who want to appear on the spring 2015 ballot must submit their declaration of candidacy and nomination papers by Jan. 6.» Read Full Article
Four suspects arrested in Oak Leaf Trail robbery
Shorewood — One man and three boys have been arrested in a robbery that occurred on Oak Leaf Trail on Thursday, Aug. 14.
A 37-year-old Shorewood man was riding his bike on the bike path when he was confronted by the four suspects just south of Capitol Drive. Shorewood police say the group pulled him off his bike, beat him and took his bicycle and backpack. The four were arrested after climbing a fence and walking through a back yard in the 3700 block of Morris Boulevard.
An 18-year-old man was transported to Milwaukee County Jail, and three juveniles — ages 12, 14 and 16 — were referred to Milwaukee County Children's Court. The Shorewood bicyclist received his property back and was not in need of medical attention.

Police question 2 'people of interest' in fatal Bayside shooting
Police are questioning two "people of interest" after a man was shot and killed Thursday afternoon at a strip mall in Bayside.
The investigation into the shooting, which police say occurred after an attempted robbery at Innovative Optique on W. Brown Deer Road, continued late into the night.
Authorities have not identified the victim and said late Thursday that they had not taken anyone into custody for the shooting.
Officials entered the store Thursday night after waiting more than six hours for a search warrant to collect evidence and to perform an autopsy.
"With these types of cases, the investigation is going to be ongoing and very time-consuming," said Christopher Freedy, the Fox Point acting police chief.» Read Full Article

Fatal shooting in Bayside eyeglass store
Fox Point — One of the men accused of robbing a Bayside optical store last week has been charged in the murder of one of his accomplices, who was shot by a store employee.
Tedric Sanders, 20, of Milwaukee, has been charged with felony murder in the death of 22-year-old Joshua Drake of Milwaukee. Sanders, Drake and three other people were allegedly involved in a deadly armed robbery at Innovative Optique, 333 W. Brown Deer Road, shortly after noon on Thursday, Aug. 14.
According to a criminal complaint, Drake, Sanders and another suspect entered the store wearing masks over their faces, pointing guns at store employees and asking, "Where's the money?" One of the employees, Federico Aguilar, shot at the suspects, killing Drake and injuring Sanders.
While Drake laid motionless on the floor, the other two suspects ran back into the silver Dodge Charger, where a driver and one other person were waiting. The vehicle was then involved in a hit-and-run accident on southbound I-43 before exiting at 11th Street and Highland Avenue to take Sanders to Sinai Samaritan Hospital for gunshot wounds.
If convicted on the felony murder charge, Sanders faces a maximum sentence of 35 years in prison. Felony murder charges can be issued against felony actors or co-actors when someone is murdered during the commission of a felony. Sanders has also been charged with bail jumping related to a recent incident in which Sanders fled from police during a robbery at Tower Optical in Wauwatosa.» Read Full Article
Southbound lanes of I-43 in Glendale reopened after crane crash
Two southbound lanes of Interstate 43 at Green Tree Road in Glendale have reopened after a crash closed them down for almost three hours.
Around 5 p.m., a truck with a crane attachment passed under the bridge, and the crane crashed into it, knocking some debris into the roads.
Two southbound lanes were closed by the crash, while the left "high speed" lane of the I-43 remained open through the night.
Bridge inspectors visited the crash site to help clear the roads, which were reopened around 8 p.m. An inspector from We Energies was also on the scene to inspect a gas pipe that was under the bridge but did not notice any leaking.
No injuries or car damage were reported, according to Fran McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office.» Read Full Article
Bublr bike-share coming to Shorewood
Shorewood — The Bublr bike-share stations that were introduced to downtown Milwaukee last week will eventually make their way up to Shorewood due to a federal grant approval.
Midwest BikeShare, the nonprofit operator of Bublr Bikes, expects to have 10 bike-sharing stations installed in downtown Milwaukee by the end of the month. The program is expected to offer an additional 25 to 35 stations with 200 to 300 bikes next year, eventually expanding to 100 stations with 1,000 bicycles across Milwaukee, Shorewood, West Allis and Wauwatosa in the next three to four years.
Kevin Hardman, the launch director of Bublr Bikes, said he is introducing the bike share program to other nearby suburbs where residents have expressed interest. Customers will be able to rent bikes from automated kiosks for $7 per day or $20 per month and return the bikes to any station.
"All of the places we've touched on are dense communities, so this offers another easy and convenient transportation choice," he said. "If you look at the north end of Oakland Avenue, for example, where parking is at a premium, bike sharing is wonderful because it gives people a choice that didn't exist before."
Shorewood will be home to nine bike share stations as proposed in a $398,607 federal grant that was recently acquired through the state's Department of Transportation. The federal grant covers 80 percent of the cost of the Shorewood stations, while the remaining 20 percent is borne locally.» Read Full Article

The man's vehicle was headed northbound on Cedarburg Road, when at 4:46 p.m., his vehicle crossed the center line and struck a southbound vehicle head-on. The driver of the other vehicle, a 29-year-old Milwaukee woman, was transported to the hospital.
Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash, according to a news release.
Tuesday morning traffic delayed due to I-43 crash
Glendale — Early morning commuter traffic was delayed for an hour on southbound Interstate 43 on Tuesday, Aug. 12.
All lanes of I-43 were closed at Good Hope Road, due to a three-car accident that occurred at 6:13 a.m. Fran McLaughlin of the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office said the lanes were closed to allow for a person to be extricated from one of the vehicles. That person complained of leg injuries from being pinned in the vehicle. No other injuries were reported as a result of the crash.
The accident caused traffic delays for more than 3 miles. The scene was cleared and lanes were reopened at 7:25 a.m.

Three killed in Glendale crash
Glendale — Three Milwaukee residents were killed in a car accident on Silver Spring Drive near the Glendale-Milwaukee border Friday night.
Davonna Wilson, 47, was driving eastbound on Silver Spring Drive with her 19-year-old daughter Koteeri Riley and her 48-year-old boyfriend James Taddey at 7:44 p.m. when her 1995 Lexus hit a sign, then a tree, before rolling over and coming to a rest on the sidewalk in front of 2455 W.

To the editor:
Recently, GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney stated 47 percent of the country pays no taxes and is too dependent on the government.
He is a well-educated man and what he doesn't say may or may not get him elected. He helped save the Olympics a few years back, with mostly government money that was accessible. There is such a thing as corporate welfare, where they have access to government money. Colleges use government money to educate our young and, at the end of life, nursing homes use government money to take care of the elderly.
Many working poor take on roles of taking care of elderly family members and handicapped men and women. Big corporations take advantage of government money to increase their business and have tax write-offs and set up business in tax-free zones. And, our politicians give themselves perks such as first-class seats on airlines wherever they travel, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
That would make 95 percent of America dependent on the government. If Romney addresses his remarks about the 47 percent, he should address the rest of the corporate welfare dependents. I just may have to drop back and punt at this year's election. We need the whole truth from each candidate.

I have heard a couple of times recently the phrase "don't piss on my boots and tell me it's raining", usually in the context of a heated argument so I've hesitated to ask speaker what exactly he meant by it. Can anyone here help?

It suggests that the person you're upset with is harming you, making an unbelievably brazen claim that they are not, and that you have seen through their meagre attempt at deception.
There are a few variant forms. There's pee versus piss for varying the level of crudity, and even spit to avoid the subject of urine entirely. The thing being urinated (or spat) on can be a boot, shoe, leg, back, face, etc. Some examples:
(from Honey, hush! An Anthology of African-American Women's Humor by Daryl Cumber Dance, 1998, p88)
(from the film The Outlaw Josey Wales, 1976)
(from Alias Big Cherry by Robert H. Adleman, 1973)
(from the play Five on the Black Hand Side by Charlie L. Russell, 1969)
I take the saying as:
Because the "rain" came from YOU, and not from the weather.
There are a few major uses of the phrase Don't piss on my boots and tell me it's raining. The basic idea is that someone just blatantly insulted or wronged another and, when caught, tried to convince people that it was a good thing. This would be akin to stealing money out of a desk drawer and then trying to claim you were going to put it in the bank for them. The thief was caught pissing on someone but didn't own up to doing anything wrong — even worse, the thief tried to play the situation off as a positive act.
The actions here don't need to be covert, either. If I walk up to someone and slap them in the face with the excuse, "Oh, you had a fly on you" they could reasonably respond with, "Don't piss on my boots and tell me its raining." The main purpose of the saying to identify a bad thing as bad and to not dress it up as a good thing.
Likewise, the actions don't need to be intentional. They don't even need to be caused anyone in particular. If someone's lover just left him and a friend tries consoling him by saying, "You were above her anyway" the same response would be appropriate: "Don't piss on my boots and tell me it's raining." In other words, stop telling me a bad thing is a good thing. Just admit it was a bad thing.
To summarize:
It means I can't be so easily fooled
Other similar expressions would include
and many others. Basically I'm not a fool, but the expression has more force if a little crude language is used.
But the force of such expressions relies on both parties understanding what it means. It might have been a deflating experience for the other if you had asked what he meant.
"Don't tell me something that's clearly false and then invent a ridiculous story to back it up."
I always simply took this to mean "Don't lie" or "Don't try to fool me." Even more specifically, "don't try to fool me, damaging me in the process."

This weekend...It is time to Spring Ahead! You have to set your clock ahead an hour Saturday night... or else you may be LATE!!
Have you ever forgotten to change your clock??? What happened???
*Eating breakfast boosts weight loss efforts by kick starting your metabolism. Studies show that breakfast eaters have success at losing and maintaining weight loss compared to those who skip.
*Improves concentration so you can move about your day with more intellect. Research shows that people who eat a high fiber breakfast have better concentrations levels then those who eat a high fat breakfast.
*Protects your heart. One study noted that people who consumed whole-grain cereals had a lower risk of heart disease.
Christine Avanti's Breakfast Tips
1. Eat a balanced meal of lean protein and high fiber carbs, like her Spring Asparagus Mini Frittatas and a bowl of steel cut oats. Find this healthy recipe at www.christineavanti.com.
2. If you don't have time for breakfast, grab a Kashi TLC bar, I love their peanut butter flavor. It's packed with good fats, fiber, protein and carbs. Another quick option is Kashi Go Lean Hi Protein Cereal…it's got 13 grams of protein and it's loaded with all natural high fiber carbs. Add some skim milk and you've got a breakfast of champions!
3. Eat breakfast within one hour of waking up so that you don't have a energy crash and crave sugar later in the afternoon.

(For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites, and I've been making this Marinated Tomato Salad every year since 2008, which is when my sister Sandee gave me the recipe. And if you're not growing marjoram, this recipe is a good reason to plant some!)
When my sister Sandee heard I was growing marjoram in my new herb beds, she gave me this recipe for Marinated Tomato Salad with Parsley and Marjoram Dressing that came from a compilation of recipes by her neighbors appropriately called Our Neighborhood Cookbook. That was in June, before Utah had the hottest summer in years and my heirloom tomatoes got stubborn and refused to ripen.
Last weekend I had yellow heirloom tomatoes at last, so I made the salad and after one taste I understood why my sister is in love with this recipe. If you have fresh garden tomatoes, make this right away! And summer doesn't last forever, so check after the recipe for ten more good ideas for summer tomato salads to enjoy before it's too late!
Marinated Tomato Salad with Parsley and Marjoram Dressing
(Makes 4 servings, recipe slightly adapted from Our Neighborhood Cookbook from Sandee's neighborhood in South Jordan, Utah)
6 large garden tomatoes, preferably at least two colors of tomatoes
2/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup finely minced fresh parsley (either curly or flat parsley will work here)
1 T minced fresh marjoram leaves (original recipe called for 2 tsp.)
1/2 tsp finely minced fresh garlic
1 tsp. salt (I used ground sea salt)
1/4 tsp. pepper (I used fresh ground black pepper)
Pour dressing over tomatoes, cover, and let marinated for an hour or two at room temperature. (The original recipe called for tomatoes to be refrigerated for a much longer time, but Sandee and I agree they're better when they haven't been chilled.) You may want to spoon the dressing over the tomatoes a few times while they marinate if they aren't all covered.

I originally thought this question was too basic for MathOverflow, so I tried Math.StackExchange, but no one there seemed to have a solution. Here goes.
How many consecutive composite integers follow
k!+1? I wrote a program in Mathematica to compute explicit answers for the first 300, but there doesn't seem to be much of a pattern. The results of that are here. This is a problem in Underwood Dudley's Elementary Number Theory (section 23.2 part (b)), but for the LIFE of me, I can't figure it out! My initial thought was this: Let
m be the smallest prime such that
k<m. Then any number of the form
k!+i, where
1<i<m will clearly be composite. Hence, there are at least
m-2 composite numbers which follow
k!+1. However, past that it seems hard to say. For example,
11!+13 factorizes as
199*200587, which seems to be unpredictable behavior. I'm leaning toward thinking this was a misprint in the book and it's a much harder problem than something that should be in Elementary Number Theory. Perhaps I'm overlooking a simple, elegant solution.
The other thing is, if there were a closed-form solution, then we would have an easy formula for calculating arbitrarily large primes. Take the largest known prime
p and suppose we determine that
q composite numbers follow
p!+1. Then
p!+2+q is prime.

Alex Brandon, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — When last we saw the chief justice of the United States on the bench, John Roberts was joining with the Supreme Court's liberals in an unlikely lineup that upheld President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.
Progressives applauded Roberts' statesmanship. Conservatives uttered cries of betrayal.
Now, the Supreme Court is embarking on a new term beginning Monday that could be as consequential as the last one, with the prospect for major rulings about affirmative action, gay marriage and voting rights.
Many people on both the left and right expect Roberts to return to the fold and side with the conservative justices in the new term's big cases. If they're right, the spotlight will be back on Justice Anthony Kennedy, whose vote typically is decisive in cases that otherwise split the court's liberals and conservatives.
But Roberts will be watched closely, following his health care vote, for fresh signs that he's becoming less ideologically predictable.
It may be that the dramatic health care decision presages "some shift in his tenure as chief justice," said Steve Shapiro, the American Civil Liberties Union's national legal director. "Or does it give him cover to continue to pursue a conservative agenda?"
The first piece of evidence could be in the court's consideration of the University of Texas' already limited use of race to help fill its incoming freshman classes, which comes before the court Oct. 10. The outcome could further limit or even end the use of racial preferences in college admissions.
Roberts has expressed contempt for the use of race in drawing legislative districts, calling it "a sordid business, this divvying us up by race," and in assigning students to public schools, saying that "the way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."
The written arguments submitted by both sides in the Texas case leave little doubt that Kennedy, not Roberts, holds the prized vote. The challengers of the Texas program and the university itself cite Kennedy's prior writings on affirmative action a combined 50 times.
The court also is expected to confront gay marriage in some form. Several cases seek to guarantee federal benefits for legally married same-sex couples. A provision of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act deprives same-sex couples of a range of federal benefits available to heterosexual couples.
Several federal courts have agreed that the provision of the law is unconstitutional, a situation that practically ensures that the high court will step in.
A separate appeal asks the justices to sustain California's Proposition 8, the amendment to the state constitution that outlawed gay marriage in the nation's largest state. Federal courts in California have struck down the amendment.
Once again, many legal analysts expect Roberts essentially to be against gay marriage. "The outcome clearly turns on how Anthony Kennedy votes," said Georgetown University law professor Michael Seidman.
The justices may not even consider whether to hear the gay marriage issue until November.
Another hot topic with appeals pending before the high court, and more soon to follow, is the future of a cornerstone law of the civil rights movement.
In 2006, Congress overwhelmingly approved, and President George W. Bush signed, legislation extending for 25 more years a critical piece of the Voting Rights Act. It requires states and local governments with a history of racial and ethnic discrimination, mainly in the South, to get advance approval either from the Justice Department or the federal court in Washington before making any changes that affect elections.

Which is the correct form?
I'd like to try CoolStuff 2.0 on a project
I'd like to try CoolStuff 2.0 in a project
Which is the correct form?
I think that it's a difference of emphasis - albeit subtle. When you use something on a project, the thing that you're using isn't really part of the project. It's used to help effect the project. On the other hand, if you use something in a project, it's integral to the project - part of the project itself. For example, a tool would be used on a project whereas a building material would be used in a project.
So, I think that it's a matter of what you're trying to indicate exactly. It's a subtle difference though.
I would say that it depends on the nature of "CoolStuff 2.0". If CoolStuff is a package that you will be using to manage your project, or to assist in the creation and development of your project (for example, if your project is writing software and CoolStuff is an editor), then "on" is preferred.
But if CoolStuff is something (or does something) that you will be incorporating as part of your output (for example, if your project is writing software and CoolStuff is a library of software utility routines), then "in" is preferred.

One Javascript function that gets used such frequently than it should to be is "eval". "eval" evaluates the content of a text string passed to it and then executes it as if it were normal Javascript code..
Actually, we should never use eval for any purpose in our code, be it dynamic variable access, or dynamic code execute or the likes there is always a workaround. "eval" is usually used by beginners and amateurs most of the times to access some dynamic variable i.e. in a situation where a variable is a part of another varibale name. Example: You have variable str1,str2...strn, so to access them you may write:
Code: JavaScript
var myStr = eval('str'+i); // where i is our counter variable
Solution to Dynamic Variable Access
For those who don't know all global variables are held in the window object, so we can bypass "eval" to access the require variable like this:
Code: JavaScript
var myStr = window['str'+i]; // where i is our counter variable
This much better, faster and safer way to access a dynamic varibale.
Dynamic Code Execution
Sometimes some experienced programmers may still use eval, of course for something quite complicated than accessing a dynamic variable. There also we can avoid using eval, by creating a function with the code to execute and then calling the function. Normally we would do this.
Code: JavaScript
var myCode = 'alert("Howdy?");';
Now let's try the non-eval approach,
Code: JavaScript
var myCode = 'alert("Howdy?");';
var myFucn = new Function(myCode);
The alternative method may produce code a bit longer than the eval one, but the later one is better and easier to understand, and it should also run faster.

I just got a new netbook and I'm setting up operative system configuration. It came with windows 7 starter but I installed dual boot ubuntu 12.10. I did some stuff on the ubuntu version of the system that makes me not want to use it at school. No illegal stuff or porn or anything. Basically just writing on a forum about my feelings. Nothing extremely advanced, but I'm just not comfortable with previous searches and stuff popping up while we're doing groupworks. We do a lot of group work so I will have to solve it. I'm considering a disc wipe and reinstallation of the ubuntu installation.
Ubuntu was installed by download an iso from inside windows, then put on an usb drive and rebooted and installed alongside windows. I did not do any fancy configuration about swap spaces or partitions and do not feel I have control over it or understand it. When I start, I get to choose if I want to boot up as windows or ubuntu. It automatically chooses ubuntu. Also, I would like to change this so that it chooses windows by default.
My question is, is it possible to reinstall ubuntu without having to reinstall Windows 7? Will such a procedure make it "safe" to use ubuntu again? I'm not interested in a wiping of free disc space or any goverment-level confidentiality. I just want my ubuntu partition cleared, from occasionaly peeping curios eyes in school, not having previously visited websites or previously written documents popping up accidentely. If I remove ubuntu from my hard drive, and then install it again, will a lot of the stuff still be there? I really would like not to format my hard drive because I have stuff on the windows part of the system that I use. Also, what way of unistallation will be good for my needs? I've never uninstalled ubuntu before.
thanks for your help

FORT HOOD (November 21, 2012)--More than 3,500 children will benefit from the opening of Santa's Workshop, a nonprofit group that provides new toys to military children.
Military families were asked to submit an application to take part in picking out two toys per child.
About 1,650 families will be helped this year and about $42 worth of toys is distributed per child, a spokesperson said.
"The group was originated exclusively for charitable purposes as a unit-level (13th COSCOM) initiative. Out of necessity, it grew into an installation-level project in 1998," a spokesperson wrote on their website.
Pre-approved parents will have an opportunity to browse shelves for the toys that best fit their child's needs.
The shop is located inside the Fort Hood Tax Center, to the right of the entrance to the Clear Creek Commissary Building.

2016-2017 CONCACAF Champions League
5 April 2017
Semi Final Leg 2
CD Cruz Azul 0 - 1 Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Whitecaps win on aggregate 4-2
Cruz Azul really took the match to us, hitting hard. We got lucky on a mad scramble off a corner in the 17th minute and, thankfully, that was all that was needed.
We now move onto playing CF Monterrey (MEX) in the CONCACAF Champions League Final!!
2016-2017 CONCACAF Champions League
19 April 2017
Final Leg 1
CF Monterrey 2 - 3 Vancouver Whitecaps FC
In this first match away from home, we actually hit back at Monterrey very well. I don't think they were expecting difficult opposition! We went up by one in the first half off a brilliant long shot from Gallegos. We opened up a 2 goal lead, but Monterrey wasn't about to let us run away with in in the first game and stole one back in injury time.
26 April 2017
Final Leg 2
Vancouver Whitecaps FC 3 - 0 CF Monterrey
Whitecaps win on aggregate 6-2
Gallegos! The one man machine scored a hattrick as he led our club to our first CONCACAF Champions League title and the first one by a club from the MLS. Monterrey was met with a goalkeeper on fire in Heimann. It was just our day and no one was going to say otherwise!
26 April 2017
Just got my Board to agree to a bump in our junior coaching budget. Hopefully, this helps us with better Academy Apprentice intakes.
We are now listed as "Good".
March-April 2017 Update
Vancouver Whitecaps FC - Major League Soccer
The League
Couldn't ask for a better start! We blew New England out of the water with our first match, making that 3 times during the month of March. April started out much the same. We only had 1 home match so far, so our fans haven't had much time in our stadium now that it has been expanded but, in reality, I could easily ask for it to be expanded again as we're still selling out.
CONCACAF Champions League
First time winners and first time MLS holders of the CONCACAF Champions League!!! It feels great that our players are at a calibre second to none in the whole continent, but I already knew this. Cruz Azul gave us some problems, but Monterrey was surprisingly easier than I thought they would be.
The Standings
12 April 2017 - traded Stephen Rodríguez to Chivas USA for a 2018 SuperDraft 3rd Round pick (Chivas).
Managerial Thoughts
The same story as last year; we're on top with the Galaxy right behind us. I'm starting to wonder what else may be out there in terms of management. This club is strong and I've got the majority of the players signed for at least another year after this. Any manager should be able to step in and do well. However, I do want to see what the Club World Cup would be like. I expect I will finish this year in Vancouver, but I'll be keeping my eye on what other clubs are doing around the world as I expect 2018 may bring something new.
Cracking start to the season.
Well done on the CL victory! And a perfect start to the new MLS season too
Is this the start of a period of dominance?
Fantastic win over the Mexicans.
Great stuff! Congratulations on winning the CHampions League! The World Club Cup awaits.
Top stuff so far! trophies coming thick and fast.
20 May 2017
Cerud Heading Back to Where it all Began?
As interest in Vancouver manager Cerud grows, so to does his history in the nations that he's managed in. The latest club to look into retaining his services is back in South Korea, where Cerud's beginning into football management all began. Seongnam have recently sacked Hwang Sun-Hong and the former Incheon Korail manager seems to be the likely target for the club. However, no word from the Cerud camp as to whether he wishes to return to South Korea.
21 May 2017
Relegated Sunderland Look for a Change
Following the recent news of the firing of Julio César Cáceres with Sunderland, Whitecaps manager Cerud has been mentioned as the Board's top pick as a replacement. The drop into the Championship marks a decade in the top flight of English football. Whoever is hired will likely be expected to return the club there as soon as possible.
May 2017 Update
Vancouver Whitecaps FC - Major League Soccer
The League
Only 4 matches in league play this month, but we had a few postponed due to the Canadian Championships. I just finish with the CONCACAF Champions League last month and now I need to fight to get into it all over again! No rest! Well, the schedule has hurt us a bit and the 2 ties are due to tired players. I have a bit of a break with an international period coming up, so hopefully the squad uses it to good advantage.
Nutrilite Canadian Championship
We drew FC Edmonton in the first round, which was interesting. I was born in Edmonton so it was like getting to go home. However, I doubt they wanted me as he took good care of them. Interestingly, Edmonton gave us more problems than over half of the MLS teams we normally face! The first draw against Toronto FC showed exactly why they are only second best in the country now. They literally got nothing. The home match next month will give me a chance to rest a few players and try out a few prospects.
The Standings
Managerial Thoughts
Still on top, but barely. I think Los Angeles will always be right there with us. Their squad is a good one and not many teams can do anything against them. We have a match in hand, so we're probably better than the points show, but we'll need to be carefull as our schedule will push us to exhaustion. I'd love to open up some distance between us, but I don't see that happening with how good of a team the Galaxy are.
Well done on Champions League. And so far so good in the regular season.
You're making everything look easy.
Great start in the MLS.
Great achivement winning the champions league. You've had a great start to this season too, keep it up!
2017 CAF World Cup Qualifiers
3 March 2017
Group Stage
Senegal 2 - 4 Nigeria
Senegal tried to push back towards the end of this match, but it was too late. We held on for a vital win and the biggest of the qualifiers so far. This puts us back on level with Senegal on points but ahead on goal difference. A vital win indeed.
3 March 2017
Group Stage
Nigeria 8 - 0 Libya
This was a match that we were expected to dominate and we met those standards. The 8 goal difference also helped open up our goal difference over Senegal, which will be very necessary.
25 June 2017
Whitecaps Announce Link with Man City
Two top clubs, one great match. Three time consecutive Barclay's Premier League winners Manchester City have linked up with the Vancouver Whitecaps in a financial partnership meant to expand the brand of both clubs. Details of the deal remained undisclosed, but it is expected that the Whitecaps will receive in excess of $1 million for the partnership.
Very happy about this and completely unexpected! Our Board found this link without me asking for it and the money will definitely help.
June 2017 Update
Vancouver Whitecaps FC - Major League Soccer
The League
Still having to fight these ties and draws which are getting annoying. I was especially hoping that we would be able to hold out against the Galazy, but they stole a late goal off a disasterous pass from our leftback. Still, we have kept up our unbeaten streak, so I can't complain too much.
Nutrilite Canadian Championship
Champions! We win our second consecutive Voyager's Cup in the Canadian Championship, booking our position in the next CONCACAF Champions League once again. The home match was more difficult, but I had made several changes. I used a few prospect players to give them playing time as based on the first match, this competition was already locked up. Plus, it's Toronto...no reason to be scared.
The Standings
Managerial Thoughts
Los Angeles have begun to pull ahead, but they've also played 3 more matches than us. The one thing that I'm very happy about this year is our goals against. Only 8 goals against us in 13 matches. This is great as I've been using my young backup in order to give him experience and he's played amazingly. Both goalkeepers are great and signed for a few years yet, so there's no reason to think that this can't continue along for a while.
Congrats on winning the Champions League! Solid start to the new season as well
Still going along nicely.
Still got good chance to catch LA up.
Doing well.
congrats on the Champions League win, looks like that has given you some real big career prospects once you eventually leave 'home'!
July 2017 Update
Vancouver Whitecaps FC - Major League Soccer
The League
The break at the beginning of the month coincided with the group stages of the Gold Cup. Unfortunately (or fortunately...not sure ), my players that were called up to their respective national teams went on to the further rounds and left me severely depleted for our matches. I was using reserve players and players out of position just to put together a squad! Still we kept up our unbeaten run, including grabbing a couple ties, both off injury time goals. The New York match was lucky as the goal we got was from an own goal, but we'll take it! Definitely has been my best season so far in my career. Hoping that it continues.
The Standings
22 July 2017 - signed Kim Falkenberg on a free transfer.
Managerial Thoughts
Still a couple games in hand on Los Angeles and we've closed the point gap to 3 points. If those 2 matches were played, we'd likely be ahead. I'm very happy that the squad has not had any morale or complancey issues given our record. The number of draws is a little annoying, but given the rest some player need in our insane schedule due to other commitments, I really can't complain.

Good Month, especially when you consider you were without some key players.
2017-2018 CONCACAF Champions League
2 August 2017
Preliminary Round Leg 1
Vancouver Whitecaps FC 5 - 0 CSD Municipal (GUA)
Our first match of the 2017-2018 Champions League and we begin to defend our title! Again, it was all Gallegos. His 4 goals propelled us onward, making the second leg more of a formality.
9 August 2017
Preliminary Round Leg 2
CSD Municipal 1 - 2 Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Whitecaps win on aggregate 7-1
A bit of a let up in this match. I started a few younger players to give them some playing time. We did well, only giving up a goal on a penalty kick. Still, We did let them into the match, only wrapping it up in the 86th minute. We should have finished this one earlier.
The Group Stages
With the preliminary stage finished, the groups have now been drawn for the CONCACAF Champions League.
Group A
- Alajuelense - Costa Rica
- Comunicaciones - Guatemala
- New York - United States
- Pachuca - Mexico
Group B
- Chicago - United States
- Cruz Azul - Mexico
- Dirangén - Nicaragua
- Suprissa - Costa Rica
Group C
- Los Angeles - United States
- Marathón - Honduras
- Pumas - Mexico
- Vancouver - Canada
Group D
- Chivas - Mexico
- Olimpia (HON) - Honduras
- Reading United - United States
- Tauro - Panama
An alright group. Pumas have won the Champions League before and will be tough competition. We played Marathón in last year's group stages and did well. Los Angeles is always a fun match and I expect no different. Interestingly, one of our feeder clubs, Reading United, also made the cut as winners of the US Open Cup. I'm be curious to see how they do in their own group.
Getting tight at the top.
2017-2018 CONCACAF Champions League
23 August 2017
Group Stage
Vancouver Whitecaps FC 3 - 0 Los Angeles Galaxy
The first match of the group stages was against my old club, Los Angeles. I still think they harbour a grudge against me as I left for Vancouver after only 60 days. We took the match handidly, not even really letting the Galaxy do much. The vast majoirty of shots they had were wide and not going to hurt anyone.
30 August 2017
Group Stage
Pumas de la UNAM 3 - 1 Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Pumas handed us our first loss of the season in any competition. While we were able to match their level of play, they capitalized on their chances much better than we did. Even our one goal we did was lucky. Still, we are in 2nd place, tied with the Galaxy on points but leading in goal difference. We should qualify out of this group.
August 2017 Update
Vancouver Whitecaps FC - Major League Soccer
The League
Four league matches and four wins. I'm much happier this year that our busy schedule is not hurting our league play. Last year during this time, we were getting many ties and a few losses because of tired players. This year, I think we are managing our assets better. And as always, winning by 6 goals against Toronto is always good to do to your rivals!
CONCACAF Champions League
A good qualifying round against Municipal saw us into a tough, but manageable group. Pumas, as shown by their win against us, will be the most difficult of the group. If we can manage a win or tie against them at home next month, I'll be very happy.
The Standings
8 August 2017 - traded Brian Miller to the Columbus Crew for a 2018 SuperDraft 1st Round pick (Columbus) and a 2019 SuperDraft 2nd Round pick (Columbus).
Managerial Thoughts
We have pulled within a single point of Los Angeles now and still have two games in hand. I'm not worried about the clubs below us; the Galaxy and us are ahead of all other by a lot, including the Eastern Conference. We are still undefeated in the MLS this year. 11 matches left to go to get to the playoffs.

Congrats on the CL title! Though I'm saddened to see Sheanon not playing for the Union
2017 CAF World Cup Qualifiers
9 September 2017
Group Stage
Chad 0 - 4 Nigeria
A solid win away in Chad. They only got one shot, a header off a free kick. Other than that, Chad barely even touched the ball.
Final Round
So, all that's left is the final round. The winners all advance to the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The draw is as follows.
Cameroon v Ivory Coast
Morocco v Nigeria
Tunisia v South Africa
Algeria v DR Congo
Ghana v Egypt
Morocco is the 24th FIFA ranked nation; whereas, we are at 26th place. It should be a even round.
Going pretty strong in the league, keep it up! Pity you couldn't keep up the unbeaten season, but I suppose Pumas are a really strong team
2017-2018 CONCACAF Champions League
9 September 2017
Group Stage
CD Marathón 1 - 2 Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Marathón gave us a more difficult match this year than last. Their only goal was from a penalty shot in injury time, but they fought hard.
27 September 2017
Group Stage
Los Angeles Galaxy 0 - 3 Vancouver Whitecaps FC
A much better win against the Galaxy. I was happy to get this win, especially after they handed us our first MLS loss this season only a few days previous.
September 2017 Update
Vancouver Whitecaps FC - Major League Soccer
The League
Well...it was bound to happen sometime, I guess. Los Angeles handed us our first loss of the MLS season. The schedule has finally started catching up to us as player fatigue is setting in. We've been able to rotate the starting squad well, but an entire season of playing close to every 3-4 days...tough to do. Still, our unbeaten streak going back to last season was over 30 matches. Can't complain.
CONCACAF Champions League
Two quality wins and have kept us 2nd in our group, only a single point behind Pumas. Qualification is likely.
The Standings
Managerial Thoughts
Our battle to catch Los Angeles is still the same, a couple of points behind, but still 2 games in hand. That tells you just how hectic our schedule has been. They haven't even been able to reschedule these matches that we must still play in order to catch up to a similar number of games played! But we have qualified for the playoffs, which is good. Takes a bit of the pressure off. I would like to lead the standings for the regular season though to win the Supporter's Shield again, but that's not the main prize. I'd rather be rested up for the playoffs than sacrifice for a smaller goal.
Great getting that revenge win over Galaxy, still well poised to overtake them in the league.
Congrats on winning the CL title,hope you can have some success in defending the title.Doing very well in the league,hope you can overtake them in the league as well to make it a brilliant season.
Awesome! One of my better midfielders has been wanting DP wages for a while now, but I can't have another DP contract. I got him down to $425 000/year, but the cap is $325 000/year. So, instead of making him a DP player, I offer the $100 000 difference to his agent and he accepts! Thank you SI for sanctioning bribery in football!
2017 CAF World Cup Qualifiers
14 October 2017
Final Leg 1
Morocco 2 - 5 Nigeria
Our first match of the final leg for CAF World Cup Qualifiers was away in Morocco. We are both fairly even in FIFA rankings. However, it was a match in which we dominated. By the half, we were up 3-0. Morocco managed to even us in second half scoring, but we keep our 3 goal difference as we head back home for the the second leg next month in a very good position to qualify.
2017-2018 CONCACAF Champions League
4 October 2017
Group Stage
Vancouver Whitecaps FC 1 - 0 Pumas de la UNAM
An unbelievable match for us! He rallied hard against Pumas at home and managed a gola off a corner. The fact that we were able to hold them off and scoreless has moved us ahead of them to top of our group!
25 October 2017
Group Stage
Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 - 0 CD Marathón
We never gave Marathón a chance. Mattocks has also been on fired lately. His 2 goals now make it 9 goals in the last 4 matches. He's been hungry as Gallegos has gone out injured. He's risen to fill the void.
14 October 2017
Cerud Has His Pick
Interest in the managerial abilities of Vancouver head coach Cerud is coming in from all sides. Clubs in Brazil, the Netherlands, and Greece are known to be considering approaches to the CONCACAF Champions League winning manager as his MLS season comes to a close. However, Cerud is still on contract for another year with his current Canadian club. It remains to be seem whether he can be enticed away from his dream job and into a higher level.
22 October 2017
Paraguay Want Cerud
After failing to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the Paraguayan National Team have decided to chance their direction and philosophy. It is felt that current Vancouver and Nigerian manager Cerud is the answer. However, Cerud is in the midst of a positive campaign to qualify for the World Cup with his Nigerian side and it is unlikely that he would leave.
22 October 2017
Cerud Reaches 100 Matches as Whitecaps Head Coach
The upcoming match against the Colorado Rapids will mark Cerud's 100th match as manager of the Vancouver Whitecaps. In his reign, Vancouver have won two Voyager Cups in the Canadian Championship, an MLS SUpporter's Shield, and the CONCACAF Champions League. In the press conference before the match, Cerud noted the occasion.
"While I'm happy to manage the club for my 100th time, my focus is on the task at hand. This match is one of many that have put us in the commanding we are in. I treat it as one match, no different than another. However, I'd still like to win to remember it by!"
30 October 2017
BC Place to Grow for the Second Year in a Row
Apparently last year's stadium expansion was not enough for the Whitecaps. BC Place, home of Vancouver's MLS club, is slated for another expansion once the season's play finishes this year. The construction time should be quicker than last, with the project expected to be completed before the year is out.
October 2017 Update
Vancouver Whitecaps FC - Major League Soccer
The League
Well, I now know where all the postponed matches in league play were put. This was an insane month with 6 league matches and 2 Champions League matches. There was also a 10 day international break. When we did play, we had matches almost every 2 days. Needless to say, my players were crawling onto the pitch by the end of the month. Still, we managed some great wins and dominant scorelines.
CONCACAF Champions League
The win against Pumas was amazing! It catapulted us to the top spot in our group. Interestingly, it also allowed Los Angeles to gain traction. Their final match was against Pumas and they won, meaning that the 2 teams that qualified out of our group for the Quarter Finals are us and the Galaxy! One major Mexican club...eliminated!
The Standings
Managerial Thoughts
In finally playing all of our outstanding matches, we easily moved ahead of Los Angeles in the Western Conference standings and into the top spot in the entire MLS. We finish the regular season on top heading into the playoffs. Also, we gets a bit of a much needed break as the wild card spots are playing out first. Playoffs matches will likely begin in 1-2 weeks.
28 October 2017
Whitecaps Win 2nd Consecutive Supporter's Shield
As the final matches of the MLS regular season wrap up, point leaders Vancouver Whitecaps were awarded ther second Supporter's Shield in as many years. While they trailed the Los Angeles Galaxy for much of the season, their game difference meant that the Whitecaps held an advantage in catching and making up the point difference. Cerud spoke to media earlier today.
"The Supporter's Shield is a magnificent achievement because it highlights the often greulling campaign overe the past months. Now that the regular season's finished, we prepare for the playoffs. I've always said that the regular season is like an extended pre-season. The playoffs is the real prize. And we're ready for it."
Great work in the league and Champions League again, keep it up
Brilliant season thus far .
Congrats on the Champions League win I've always enjoyed playing the CONCACAF Champions League on FM - I think it's the contrast you get between playing teams from Belize and battling it out with the Mexican big names.
Congrats on a second Supporter's Shield. Now win the Play-offs
Good job. Now go win the MLS Cup.
2017 CAF World Cup Qualifiers
18 November 2017
Final Leg 2
Nigeria 1 - 4 Morocco
Tied on aggregate 6-6; Nigeria advance on away goal rule
An absolutely disgusting match! I have no idea what happened to us. We took an early lead in the 4th minute until the 20th when Morocco took over. I had one player who came off the bench to replace another who was doing bad. He ended up with 2 mistakes leading to goals and a 3.4 rating!!! 3.4!!! I've never seen that bad before.
Thankfully, they didn't score any more goals. We were able to hold on and qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia!
Very good year.
2017 Season In Review
Vancouver Whitecaps FC - Major League Soccer
1st Place - MLS Cup Winners
The League
Standings - League | Conference
Past Positions - League | Conference
Fixtures - Even though we trailed Los Angeles for a lot of the season, I was never worried. I knew that once we evened out our playing schedules, the points would come. This was probably one of my best seasons ever. Only 2 losses in league play. I would have loved to hold on and go undefeated, but it wasn't meant to be. The insane schedule that I was handed due to all competitions meant that players were just worn out by that stage of the season. Our only breaks came on international breaks as we were playing pretty much in between weekend matches with other competitions. Still, we ended up on top and with our second Supporter's Shield!
The Playoffs
MLS Western Conference Semi Final Leg 1
Philadelphia Union 4 - 3 Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Uh...what? The playoffs were not supposed to start like this! Everytime we tied the match up, he Union would find a way to grab another. Their final goal came in the 93rd minute and left us no time to try and scrape one back.
MLS Western Conference Semi Final Leg 2
Vancouver Whitecaps FC 4 - 2 Philadelphia Union
Vancouvere Whitecaps FC win on aggregate 7-6
We tied up the aggregate in the 7th minute and took the lead in the 9th. However, the Union were not going to go easy. They had two penalty kicks in the final 20 minutes, both from bad tackles by my rightback, Falkenberg. They got the first but thankfully hit the post on the second. Needless to say, Falkenberg sat on the bench for the next couple of matches.
MLS Western Conference Final
Vancouver Whitecaps FC 3 - 0 Los Angeles Galaxy
After our scare against the Union, we knew we had to show up to play. We never gave the Galaxy a chance. They barely ever touched the ball and we made good on our chances.
The match was played in Columbus and we treated it like home pitch. Mattocks was on form as he started us early in the 5th minute. This led right to the end of the match were Vancouver won their second MLS Cup and my first!!
The Cups
CONCACAF Champions League - Champions! The first MLS Club and first Canadian club to hoist the continental trophy.
Nutrilite Canadian Championship - Champions again! We won our second consecutive Voyager's Cup to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League to defend our title there.
The Stats
Goals Scored - 119 (+ 22 from last season; 1st in league)
Goals Conceded - 34 (- 7 from last season; 2nd in league)
Average Attendance - 25 449 (+ 5 050 from last season; 3rd in league)
The Players
Squad | Transfers - It is almost impossible to pick the top players of this season because they all stepped up and did amazing. As for transfers, the $2M we received from Reis really helped us buy quality players we needed to step up to the next level.
Nelson Rivas - D C - Defender of the Year. Rivas is getting up there in age, but still has the quality to be the main piece of my defensive line.
Darren Mattocks - ST - Bringing in Mattocks from Toronto FC was two-fold. First, he's a quality striker and we needed a few. Second, he's a former Vancouver top draft pick and a club favourite. He was great all season, but his final third was absolutely dominating.
Noel Gallegos - M/AM C, ST - USA Player of the Year and League MVP. It was costly to bring his in from FC Dallas, but absolutely worth every penny!
The Backroom
Finances - We did much better this year as our increased stadium capacity enabled us better gate receipts. However, we wil be spending about another $6M to increase it again very soon.
Facilities - We increased capacity at the beginning of the season and are looking to do so again. Construction begins once the players leave for holidays.
The Awards
- USA Player of the Year - Noel Gallegos - 1st Place, Jorge Villafaña - 2nd Place
- Volkswagen Most Valuable Player - Noel Gallegos - 1st Place, Orlando Gaona Lugo - 2nd Place
- MLS Golden Boot - Darren Mattocks - 3rd Place
- MLS Goalkeeper of the Year - Niclas Heimann - 1st Place
- VISA Defender of the Year - Nelson Rivas - 1st Place, Ali Bamba - 3rd Place
- MLS Coach of the Year - Cerud - 1st Place
- MLS Best XI - Niclas Heimann (GK), Nelson Rivas (D C), Robbie Rajkovic (D C), Alejandro Bedoya (M C), Jorge Villafaña (M L), Orlando Gaona Lugo (ST)
- Fans' Player of the Year - Orlando Gaona Lugo
The Goals Revisited
- Win the MLS Cup - Achieved! We are the champions!
- Win Canadian Championship - Achieved! Again!
- Reach Semi Final of CONCACAF Champions League - Achieved! Continental Champions!
Plans for Next Season
I'm think it may be time to leave Vancouver while I'm ahead. I've achieved what I set out to do. The main players are all signed to contracts for at least another year. The club is in the Quarter Finals of the CONCACAF Champions League and look good to defend. I believe that another manager can step in and have a great position to grow from. Plus, the stadium is being expanded again, so there should be more money coming in! I will be leaving the club in a better position than when I entered. Time to go.
But first, the Club World Cup in December! Then time to go.

Whitecaps Win MLS!
For only the second time in their history, the Vancouver Whitecaps have hoisted the MLS Cup as champions of the league. This marks a tremendous quadruple for the club this season, having already won the Voyager's Cup, the CONCACAF Champions League title, and the MLS Supporter's Shield. Surely, the club will be able to defend their titles next year.

Cerud Recognized by United States Soccer Hall of Fame
Cerud has now reach a level not many soccer coaches ever attain. Today, he was entered into the United States Hall of Fame as one of the top managers to have ever managed a club in the country. Speaking to media earlier today, Cerud expressed his surprise.
"Are you counting my 60 days in Los Angeles?? You do realize that Vancouver is in Canada...right?"
Cartographers were unavailable for comment.
Great job. They must've been very impressed with what you did in LA.
You tell em.
28 November 2017
On another note...I just got a very interesting offer. This is also the first actual offer I've ever received while already employed.
Lokomotiv have no debt, no loans and a decent setup. However, they have been slipping over the past decade or so. I've delayed for a week as I really want to manage Vancouver through the Club World Cup...even though we will likely be slaughtered
I probably won't take it, but the offer is a first!

Congrats on all the trophies!
(I definitely wasn't rooting for Philly in the conference semi-final) What does the Union's roster look like?
Congrats on winning the MLS Cup in what turned out to be a successful season.Good luck in the World Cup,definitely have a shot at going through but as you said,you'll have to play to your best.

2017 Club World Cup
9 December2017
Quarter Final
Lekhwiya Sports Club 2 - 3 Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Lekhwiya are the current AFC Champions League title holders. The media ranked us fairly evenly with them, so I went in confident of a good showing and it started right from the beginning with a goal by Boateng 41 seconds into the match for us! However, Lekhwiya fought back and scored a couple to take the lead from us. Fortune changed after they missed a penalty shot and we tied up the match in the 50th minute. Lugo finished off the win with a penalty shot of our own late in the match.
14 December 2017
Semi Final
Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 - 0 Manchester City
Man City are the current UEFA Champions League holders and our parent club as well. This was to be our end; Man City would roll over us and we would go home thankful for the opportunity just to play, or so the script said. However, no one gave it to us!! Rajkovic scored off a brilliant header off a corner to gave us the lead in the 22nd minute. For some reason, Man City was never able to get into the match. When they had the ball, the passed circles around us, but we hit when it counted. The 75th minute saw Lugo get our insurance goal after a mad scramble in the 16 yard box to give us the unexpected win! We book our place in the Final!
2017 Club World Cup
17 December2017
Vancouver Whitecaps FC 4 - 2 SC Corinthians Paulista
A complete loss for words. I didn't expect to win a single match in this competition. The Vancouver Whitecaps are world champions! What was that? Right. The Vancouver Whitecaps are world champions!
The match began with Corinthians taking the early lead in the 14th minute. I figured, "Okay. Here we go." However, we hit back immediately off a corner in the 17th minute and quickly took the lead in the 19th minute. Suddenly, this was a different game. A brilliant cross in the 38th minute led to a 2 goal lead. I was hoping to hold onto this going into the half, but Corinthians clawed one back in extra time. Still, we led going into the break 3-2.
The second half was a nervy affair. It began with both sides trying to find space but neither giving it up. And then, disaster. Bamba, my leftback took a second yellow card and was forced off the pitch. You could hear the hearts of Canadians and underdog supporters everywhere breaking. But we weren't done. Lugo took advantage of some found space and gave us an insurance goal in the 69th minute with only 10 men.
That's how it ended and us held the Club World Cup. The first for a CONCACAF club!

BC Place Expansion to Include Ground Improvements
As BC Place gets ready to expand their capacity by another 4 000 seats, they will also be adding in under-soil heating. In a phone interview with Cerud, he said,
"Under-soil heating? They do realize we have a retractable roof to counter adverse weather conditions, right? Well...I guess if you have money, might as well spend it..."

Not a bad way to leave Vancouver, eh?

Cerud Leaves 'Dream Job' for New Challenge
In what he had previously called 'his dream appointment', Canadian manager Cerud has left his post with the Vancouver Whitecaps. While expected by many, the success of the club in the CONCACAF Champions League and Club World Cup had many wondering whether he may have changed his mind. He spoke earlier to media in a press conference in front of BC Place.
"Helping to guide the Whitecaps to Canadian Championships, MLS Championships, and continental and world success has been more than I set out to accomplish here. What we have been able to do here has showcased the city to the football world. When Italy, South Korea, or Nigeria think of football, they will now think of Vancouver and Canada.
I also feel that it's my time to move on. This club is well situated for someome new to inject new blood, new ideas, and new philosophies in order to keep it growing. I have no plan! No idea as to where I will end up. But when I get there, I'll tell them of what we did here together in Vancouver."
The time has come. There is nothing left to win or lose. I leave without an agenda or direction. Come what may.

Cerud Returns to Football in Málaga as Spalleti Joins Napoli
The hiring of Luciano Spalleti with Napoli had opened the job at Málaga for Canadian-born manager Cerud to enter back into European football. Cerud, having left Vancouver three months ago, claimed that he was excited to return to club football. With only 13 games left in the season, Cerud still have every chance of a successful season. Málaga are in the finals of the Copa del Ray and sit in 6th place, more than enough to claim a Europa League spot. 4th place Sevilla are 8 points ahead of Málaga, so Champions League play may be too far removed for this season.
In speaking to the media, Cerud stated, "Spain is the global epicentre of world football. To be offered the opportunity to manage in this proud nation speaks to the huge amount of trust that [Chairman] Fernández has put in me. I intend to repay it. Málaga are a strong club with a rich history, but have not won this top league yet. Looks like we've got some work to do!"
Málaga C.F., S.A.D. - Liga BBVA
My contract is a whopping $1.8M/year for 3 years!!! These guys got money! I've never managed in Spain before, so there are a few new things. Such as, my reserve team is it's own club? Eh...I'll figure it out.
About the Club
Málaga C.F. began in 1948 and are the predecessor of CD Málaga. They have played in European football before, but have not had any success in winning anything, domestic or abroad. That needs to change.
The club is in good shape with decent finances and no debt. However, the club has spent most of their available cash this season on players. Wage budgets may also be too high.
The Stats
Year Founded: 1948
Status: Professional
Reputation: Continental
Nickname: Los Bosquerones (The Anchovies)
Fierce Rivals: Sevilla, Betis
Other Rivals: Cádiz, Granada
The Stadium - La Rosaleda
Location: Málaga
Year Built: 1941
Capacity: 28 963 all-seater
Owner/Rent: $2/year
Corporate: Adequate
Training: Average
Youth: Adequate
Junior Coaching: Adequate
Youth Recruitment: Above Average
An alright set up, but definitely room for improvement. A $2/year rent is great, but I'd rather we owned the stadium so that we could expand it. Might have to look into that. Anyway, here is La Rosaleda.
Currently, the club has been having a great season. There were expected to finish in 8th place and have been above that. They are also in the final for the Copa del Ray, my first opportunity at a Spanish cup!
13 matches left. Time to see what I can do.

You probably have a LOT of money!!
2017-2018 The Takeover
Málaga C.F., S.A.D. - Liga BBVA

Liga BBVA: Achieve a respectable position (will not be judged this year)
Copa de Su Majestad El Ray Don Juan Carlos: Reach the semi final (will not be judged this year)
Media Prediction: 8th of 20
Wage Budget: $56 537 230

Average Ticket Price: $44.80
Average Season Ticket Price: $558.00
Season Ticket Holders: 23 344
Estimated Value: $66M
Standings | Past Positions | Fixtures - The club has done well, but there's a few too many losses in there for me.
- Qualify for UEFA Europa League
- Win the Copa del Ray
A short list, but doable. We are in a Europa qualifying spot right now and I aim to keep it. Our opposition in the final for the Copa del Ray is CD Tenerife, from the league below us! I will expect nothing less than a win.

LAWRENCEBURG, Ky. (AP) -- Three members of a central Kentucky family have been charged with abuse after a 3-year-old girl was tied up for hours at a time.
The State Journal (http://bit.ly/Smahix ) reports from court documents that 64-year-old Carolyn Case, the child's grandmother, and 30-year-old Rebecca Medley, the mother, allegedly tied the girl to her bed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Case told police the child was "getting into things" and was also tied up for naps and discipline.
The documents say 53-year-old Herbert Medley, the child's stepfather, told police he didn't tell because Case threatened to throw them out.
An Anderson County grand jury indicted them Aug. 21 on one count each of first-degree criminal abuse.
It's not clear whether the family has a lawyer. They are due in court Oct. 16.

ANDERSON, S.C. – The game notes for the Anderson University women's basketball team's home contest with South Atlantic Conference opponent Tusculum have been released.
After a much-needed 65-48 victory over South Atlantic Conference opponent Coker on Saturday afternoon, Anderson now has a "win and you are in" scenario ahead of it when it faces Tusculum on Wednesday night at the Abney Athletic Center.
With a win over the Pioneers, the Trojans would clinch their spot in next week's 2014 Food Lion SAC Tournament, moving two games ahead of TC with just one game left for the regular season. Currently, Anderson sits two games ahead of Tusculum, alone in seventh-place, but just one game behind fourth-place as three teams are deadlocked for a possible home game in the SAC Tournament.
Overall, the Trojans are 14-12 with an even 10-10 mark in league play, while Tusculum carries an 8-16 overall record with every win coming in the SAC as it brings in an 8-12 league mark. Despite the record, the Pioneers are 7-2 in their last nine contests, highlighted by a 65-62 win over then-nationally-ranked Lenoir-Rhyne on Saturday. The Pioneers enter the midweek matchup with a three-game winning streak, matching their longest stretch of the season. At the midway point of the season, Tusculum was 1-14 overall.
Wednesday, the Trojans will honor their lone senior on the roster in sharpshooter Emily Willoughby for senior night.
The game will be broadcast on FOX SPORTS Radio 1280 AM, WANS and will also be available on the internet at www.wrixfm.com and the Anderson web site at www.autrojans.com, along with video and live stats. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m.

Bane saved Talia when she was a baby. He was pretty old maybe in his 20s or 30s. But then she grows up and wouldn't that make Bane 60? He looks young.
Timeline Info from Script:
When Miranda Tate is introduced, the Script says she is in her 30s.
So the short answer is 20-29 years between Talia Al Ghul escaping the prison and the beginning of the events in The Dark Knight Rises.
Batman Begins Script info: Bruce Wayne is age 8 in the first scene where he falls into the cave.
Bruce Wayne is age 28 when he meets Ra's Al Ghul:
Bruce Wayne's 30th Birthday is at the end of Batman Begins:
Timeline Info from Movies:
Bruce Wayne spent 7 years traveling abroad according to Alfred in Batman Begins:[source]
In The Dark Knight,
I interpret this as one of two possibilities: 1) a year ago batman didn't exist; or 2) a year ago Bruce Wayne was just starting as Batman and had not yet dealt a crippling blow to their organization.
In The Dark Knight Rises,
So, The Dark Knight Rises takes place at least 9 years after Batman Begins.
So, from all of this: Between 20 and 29 years passed from the time Talia escaped to the events at the beginning of The Dark Knight Rises. Bane in the prison is at least in his late teens. All we see of him is a fairly young looking face.
So, we have a rough timeline. Assume year 0 is Bruce Wayne's birth. Years in italics, the specific year is unknown and provided as ranges which should contain all possible years, Years in bold are certain, and based on above sources. Any range (i.e. 0-9) indicates the exact point at which the event occurred is unknown, but could be anywhere in between, based on above sources.
0: Bruce Wayne Born.
So, based on that, there does seem to be an age problem. I don't think it was ever explicitly stated that Bane is younger than Bruce Wayne, just that Bruce Wayne was no longer in his top physical capability, being a recluse for 8 years and using a cane.
Timeline Info from Actors/Actresses age:
I think it's implied that Bane is older than Tom Hardy at the time (at least). I just get that impression about his character, the way he acts, the older tone of his voice and also during the fight scene, he criticizes how Batman "Fights like a younger man". It's inferred he's older, 40, or even more than 50 depending upon how old he's supposed to be in the pit scene.

Rescue Aircraft sent ahead of single-engine jet fighters being delivered over ocean regions. The "Duckbutt" orbits along critical route segments, such as those for air refueling, and aids in rescuing flight crews, should a fighter need to ditch.
Movements of single engine fighters take place during repositioning to military exercise locations overseas, or the delivery of these planes from their overseas bases to repair depots. Bases on the Islands of Hawaii, Guam, and Okinawa are staffed with USAF Aircraft Delivery personnel. It is their job to coordinate with each agency which will service, repair, control, or Air Refuel the aircraft, making sure all of these operations run smoothly. One aspect of these efforts entails launching a "Duckbutt" aircraft (Usually an HC-130 "Hercules" four-engine turboprop) to provide rescue services for the crews if they ditch the plane.

PHOTOS: Stars Reveal Skin, Favorite Scary Movies at Halloweenie
Fred and Jason's Annual Halloweenie is a "spook"-tacular that draws one of the year's hottest costumed crowds in support of the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles. This year's party, the eighth annual event, was held in the downtown Los Angeles Theatre and drew a host of celebrities (and many drag Miley Cyruses) in support of the chorus's Alive Music Project, which works to stop bullying by bringing music education to L.A. public schools.
In the spirit of the evening, The Advocate spoke with Lindsey Shaw, Newlyweds: The First Year's Jeff Pedersen and Blair Late, Peter Marc Jacobson, Lance Bass, and more, to find out their favorite scary movies. Don't miss their responses as well as the many "sin"-tillating costumes of the party's attendees on the following pages.
Lance Bass and fiancé Michael Turchin, in costume as Wayne and Garth from Wayne's World, both choose The Shining as their ultimate horror flick. "It's hard to make [genuinely] scary movies anymore, but they did it right," Bass says of the 1980 Stanley Kubrick film, starring Jack Nicholson. "My mother made me watch it when I was 10 years old," adds Turchin. "It stuck with me." Their creative costumes were chosen by listeners of Bass's radio program, Dirty Pop With Lance Bass, on Sirius XM.
Three blind mice model eye-catching ensembles.
There's nothing "ambiguously gay" about newly married couple Jeff Pedersen and Blair Late, stars on Bravo's Newlyweds: The First Year. Unlike Bass and Turchin, the duo have different cinematic tastes. "Exorcist has to be the number 1 best," says Pedersen (left). "And, I think, closely following that would be the Michael Myers [films]." Late, on the other hand, favors more suspense-oriented choices. "I would say Silence of the Lambs," he says. "And we just saw Prisoners, with Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal, and I was terrified. Serial killers are what scare me. Not exorcisms."
In a nod to fans, Pretty Little Liars actress Lindsey Shaw battles crime and Miley Cyrus as Batgirl on the black carpet. One of her favorite films involves another possessed girl — it's The Exorcism of Emily Rose, a combination horror movie–courtroom drama based on true events involving crime, death, and exorcism.
As Dorothy would say, "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."
Terminator 3 actress Kristanna Loken had a mouthful to say about her favorite scary film: Teeth, a 2007 horror comedy about a girl who has incisors in her vagina. "It's funnily scary," Loken says.
Noah's Arc's Darryl Stephens "bears" his abs on the Halloweenie black carpet.
Katrina Parker, tailing the White Rabbit, holds up an "Eat Me" treat while dressed as Alice. The Voice songstress revealed that she gets a chill from the Tim Burton remake but still prefers the wondrous 1951 animated film.
"Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" Glinda asks.
Some of Halloweenie's best costumes did not require much fabric.
The black carpet heated up when Happily Divorced actor Peter Marc Jacobson arrived as a fireman. Jacobson says A Nightmare on Elm Street, the 1984 classic about dream invader and slasher Freddy Krueger, is his favorite scary movie. "It just scared the shit out of me," he says. "When I was a kid, they gave me the poster of it to bring home, and I was so excited. And every night I'd wake up and I was so scared that I had to throw it away."
Looks like Chris Evans (Captain America) isn't the only superhero in the family. His brother Scott Evans (One Life to Live, White Collar) stepped out as Superman, along with his super friends.
"My boyfriend wanted to be hipster Batman, so I thought, I'll be hipster Wonder Woman!" says Lindsay Hayward, who is a wrestler, a 6 foot 9 model, and an actress in the upcoming film The Internship Games. Hayward cites Halloween as the "classic, gut-wrenching tale. And Scream."
Many costumes were literally painted on.
True to her name, singer Guinevere went medieval on the Halloweenie black carpet. "Since I can't bring my own knights of the round table, I thought I'd be my own," she says. Guinevere chose another Stephen King-based classic, It (1990), starring Tim Curry as every child's worst nightmare, as her favorite horror film.
