In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

I don't have much experience with Linux, but this is a good oportunity to learn
I'm mounting a simple database server and i would like to know if ubuntu server 9.10 (what do you guys recommend for a [begginer] server distribution ?) would work with a hardware raid-1 with this motherboard (there is no linux raid driver listed on vendors download page)
After some tips i discovered that i call raid is actually a fakeraid, also found some articles about running linux on fakeraid using dmraid, and soft raid was suggested and since the performance/capabilities are almost the same, i need to help in another question
Whitch one is easier to setup and will automatically recover and/or boot with 1 disk on some failure
keep in mind that i'm no expert, so if something is very hard to configure i prefer to stand way, at least for now.
Thanks in advance

It is well known, that the intermediate extension functor $j_{!*}$ preserves injections and surjections. However it seems that it is not exact in general!
1) What would be an example which shows that $j_{!*}$ is not exact?
2) It is easy to see, that $j_{!*}$ is exact if $j$ is the inclusion of a cell into a cell stratified variety and we are considering say $\mathbb Q_l$-sheaves. Is $j_{!*}$ still exact if we replace $\mathbb Q_l$ by $\mathbb Z_l$ in this situation?

Described in a police report as plotting to blow up a Best Buy and murder its employees because they didn't have his preordered copy of Modern Warfare 3, a Denver-area man says his upset outburst was interpreted to an illogical extreme just to punish him for being upset on the game's highly anticipated rollout night.
Lomon Sar says he had preordered the Hardened Edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 earlier in the day but couldn't write down a confirmation number as he was driving at the time. The purchase cost more than $100. When he showed up at his local Best Buy, an employee told Lomon his name wasn't in the computer, and that's when he went off. Like a bomb.
"I put my hands up to my head and I'm like, 'God, now I'm mad.' I said, 'I am so pissed right now I can blow this place up,'" Sar told KUSA-TV of Denver.
Sar disputes the part of the police report where he was described as asking when employees were leaving their shifts, threatening or implying he'd shoot them in the parking lot. The store manager "needs to apologize for screwing me around," said Sar, who added that he was guilty only of using a poor choice of words.
"It's just something you say when you get mad, you know what I mean? But they're like empty threats. You can't get in trouble for just saying you're gonna bomb a building."
Actually, you can.

I just wanted to thank you for organizing the interview with [...] yesterday. He was absolutely GREAT!! His feedback was spot-on and very informative. I feel a lot better prepared for my interview tomorrow and know which weaknesses to address before going.

Halacha dictates that if someone were to dig a huge hole in the middle of the street and a car fell into it, he would not be responsible to pay for the damage to the car. The language of the Talmud Bavli is "בור פטור מכלים". My question is: Why is this so?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Aruch Hashulchan (CM 410:26) speculates the reason why the ditch-digger is not responsible for kelim as follows:
Kelim, in general, do not move unless a person or an animal is moving them. We expect a person to be paying enough attention where he is walking not to fall into the ditch, especially when he is carrying stuff (which is why the digger is also not responsible for human injuries). When an animal is carrying the kelim, we would expect it to be accompanied by its owner, who should again be paying enough attention to his possessions not to let the animal fall into the bor with his kelim.
Apparently, though, when an animal falls into the bor, the digger is responsible for damages to the animal itself, since when an animal is not carrying kelim, the owner is not as interested in looking after its safety. (Why, then, is the digger responsible for damages to the animal even if it was carrying kelim? Perhaps the Torah is not willing to differentiate to such a degree.)
I would imagine that a car is classified as a kli. It does not have a mind of its own like an animal. It requires a person to control (move) it. Under the Aruch Hashulchan's reasoning then, when a person is driving a car, he is expected to be paying attention to the road in front of him enough not to drive into a ditch. Therefore, the digger is not responsible for the damages to the car.

Sencha Touch can run more faster in most Android devices
Hey All,
I've used Sencha Touch for about years. It really give me a lot of surprise. However, what the things we all concern about is the performance on different Android devices. Some run it perfect, some don't. But what's the problem? I thought the reason is hardware, but I found that browser is the culprit.
I tried lots of devices. some is really worse. I'm very crazy when I run my app on these devices using it's native browser. It's almost unresponsive. Chrome just speed up a little. However I use another browser (I don't tell it's name in order to avoid ads suspects) it is speed up a lot. So I just want to know what is the key to affect it's performance. Is the browser kernel? Is there any way to create a Android Control like WebView (maybe ChromeWebView or some custom name you know) which based-on a fast browser kernel to used on Android native app. In this case, I think it can run more faster in most Android devices.I'm Razor. I can make things smooth.

I can remember when the news was all about how fragmented Android was but that was due to the Android version itself. Most said that it was over stated but as a web developer it is very much so.
Not only are there different versions of Android, but let's say all Android devices were on the same version. The next issue would be that each manufacturer can have it's own build of WebKit as the stock browser so maybe Samsung is more up to date than HTC. Also the UI the manufacturers put on the device can also fight with the browser for touch events, I can remember HTC had a huge problem with that but should be more fixed these days. So fragmentation is quite alive and there isn't anything we can do about that as a framework. Using a WebView on Android will use the stock browser's core not chrome even if chrome is the stock browser on that device.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

I am a 10 year PHP developer. Just recently I have taken a little bit of an interests in C# after seeing that you can build native Windows desktop programs as well as build sites like Stackoverflow. It's like the best of both worlds.
Now recently I started using a text editor many know of called SublimeText which is coded with C++ and has Python embedded so that the users can create almost anything in Python and use it as a plugin for this text editor, I never seen anything like that. This got me looking into Python, as I had always thought Python was just like another language similar to PHP ( a scripting language mainly for the web) but now I am seeing that you can create Desktop programs that work on any OS, make web apps like you can in PHP so it's almost like what you can do with C# but with the added benefit of being multi-platform
Now this is no way a One Language vs Another Language debate, I am simply trying to find out more about how these foreign languages to me compare:
- PHP is scripting
- Python I think is scripting
- C# has to be compiled?
Python can be used to build anything C# can? Including fast desktop applicaions, can Python application be compiled into an EXE file or how does that work to use Python program on Windows?
Please help me understand I have been stuck in the PHP world for a long time I have never ventured out past Javascript, PHP web stuff
Also I am aware that PHP can be used to make GUIs but from what I have read, they are not that good or it is not that good for doing them, something like that.

Seeing Beyond Black and White
Color! American Photography Transformed
Amon Carter Museum of American Art Through Jan. 5
Fort Worth, Texas
'I'm interested in changing people's ideas about the use of color in photography," John Rohrbach explained. That was the impetus for "Color!"—the exhibition he put together at the Amon Carter Museum, where he is the senior curator of photographs. "Color!" includes 75 photographs by 75 photographers that range in date from Levi L. Hill's c. 1851 Hillotype to dye-coupler and inkjet prints by Alex Prager, Katy Grannan and Trevor Paglen from 2010. And the range of aesthetic purposes on display is at least as impressive.
Nowadays, if you have a cellphone or digital camera, you have an instrument capable of recording images in color and instantaneously transmitting them anywhere; one billion such images are taken every day. Although it was conceived of as a mechanical analogue of painting, photography at its inception in 1839 was black and white. The first way around this was simply to paint the black-and-white prints: The Carter is showing a picture by an unknown photographer, c. 1850, of a woman with two daughters, their cheeks tinted pink and their dresses touched with blue and orange. The artifice is apparent, but the image has considerable charm.
In his essay in the exhibition catalog, Mr. Rohrbach tells the story of Levi Hill. Hill, an obscure upstate New York photographer, made claims in the mid-19th century to having invented a process for color photography. These claims generated enormous excitement for as long as Hill could keep his work from being seen. Once they were, his claims and his celebrity collapsed—the Hillotype at the Carter barely rises above monochrome. Others tried with slightly better results, but the first commercially successful process was Autochrome, patented by the Lumière brothers in France in 1903. Autochrome used colored grains of potato starch on glass negatives to produce quite attractive, Impressionist-like photographs, and many photographers experimented with it.
The Carter show includes Autochromes by Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, Karl Struss, Laura Gilpin and Arnold Genthe, all wonderful photographers, but all of whom returned to black and white. Autochrome required long exposures, the glass plates had to be back-lit to be viewed, and they could not be replicated, so the process was limited. Stieglitz, in his imperious way, pronounced art photography not possible in color. And, in fact, the improved processes that became available in the early decades of the 20th century were used almost exclusively for advertising, such as Nickolas Muray's vivid tricolor carbro print "Bathing Pool Scene, Ladies' Home Journal, Swimsuit Layout" (1931). But this was technically too complex and too expensive except for those with goods to sell.
The dye imbibition (or dye transfer) process, although difficult, did attract photographers with artistic ambitions. Henry Holmes Smith's "Tricolor Collage on Black" (1946) is one of the abstractions he spent his career experimenting with. "Monterey, California" (1954) by Ferenc Berko captures amoeboid colors reflected on water, and Peter Turner's startlingly red "Dyer's Hand" (1963) is another example. But Eliot Porter was the early master of the technique; his "Pond Brook, Whiteface Intervale, New Hampshire, October 5, 1956" is one of more than 7,000 Porter prints the Carter acquired when it accepted his archive. Because Porter was a naturalist, it has taken a long time for his pictures of birds in the wild and of landscapes to be appreciated as works of art.
Kodachrome, introduced in 1935, made color available to the masses; the brilliant slides it produced were easy to take and relatively inexpensive. Kodacolor, introduced in 1942, was a negative film from which multiple prints could be made. The public took to color immediately because it made snapshots more lifelike, but the art community hesitated. Color is difficult to control; a bright-red traffic light may throw an otherwise satisfactory street scene off balance. Skin blemishes are more apparent. And there is a theoretical question as to whether pictures should be of color or in color; that is, is color what the image is about, or is the color simply additive.
The situation was altered radically on May 25, 1976, when John Szarkowski, the Museum of Modern Art's director of photography, opened "Photographs by William Eggleston" in one of MoMA's prime exhibition spaces. Critics despised the 75 snapshotlike dye-imbibition prints and the public was perplexed. But, as Mr. Rohrbach writes, "the dye imbibition process allowed Eggleston to draw attention to color without making it the subject of the photograph. It enabled his colors to simultaneously describe and hover, actively shaping the emotional tenor of his images without getting in the way of subject." Lots more things were now possible. The catalog for that exhibition, "William Eggleston's Guide," has been an inspiration to succeeding cohorts of art photographers.
The Carter show includes "Memphis" (c. 1971), Eggleston's picture of his celadon shower stall from the "Guide," and work by many important contemporary color photographers. Joel Meyerowitz's "Hartwig House, Truro" (1976) from his immensely successful Cape Light portfolio is on display. Stephen Shore is represented by "West 9th Avenue, Amarillo, Texas, October 2, 1974," a picture of a fading drive-in movie theater, and Joel Sternfeld by "McLean, Virginia, December 1978," his improbably comic shot of a house on fire.
Digital technology now makes possible the infinite manipulation of images, although they lose credibility as reliable witnesses as they become more patently artful. And new printing technologies can produce color prints of grand size. Richard Misrach's Mark Rothko-like "Paradise Valley [Arizona], 3.22.95, 7:05 P.M." is 60 inches tall and 74 inches wide. Cory Archangel's "Photoshop CS, 300 DPI, RGB, square pixels, default gradient 'Spectrum,' mousedown y=1416 x=1000, mouseup y=208 x=42" (2009) is a massive exercise in computer-generated imagery, 72 inches tall and 110 inches wide. The acceptance of such works by museums and collectors makes color photography a major factor in the current art world.
Poor Levi Hill died in obscurity, but a rainbow fills the sky.

An analysis of mineral grains from the bottom of the western Grand Canyon indicates it was largely carved out by about 70 million years ago -- a time when dinosaurs may have even peeked over the rim, says a study led by the University of Colorado Boulder.
The new research pushes back the conventionally accepted date for the formation of the Grand Canyon in Arizona by more than 60 million years, said CU-Boulder Assistant Professor Rebecca Flowers. The team used a dating method that exploits the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium atoms to helium atoms in a phosphate mineral known as apatite, said Flowers, a faculty member in CU-Boulder's geological sciences department.
The helium atoms were locked in the mineral grains as they cooled and moved closer to the surface during the carving of the Grand Canyon, she said. Temperature variations at shallow levels beneath the Earth's surface are influenced by topography, and the thermal history recorded by the apatite grains allowed the team to infer how much time had passed since there was significant natural excavation of the Grand Canyon, Flowers said.
"Our research implies that the Grand Canyon was directly carved to within a few hundred meters of its modern depth by about 70 million years ago," said Flowers. A paper on the subject by Flowers and Professor Kenneth Farley of the California Institute of Technology was published online Nov. 29 in Science magazine.
Flowers said there is significant controversy among scientists over the age and evolution of the Grand Canyon. A variety of data suggest that the Grand Canyon had a complicated history, and the entire modern canyon may not have been carved all at the same time. Different canyon segments may have evolved separately before coalescing into what visitors see today.
In a 2008 study, Flowers and colleagues showed that parts of the eastern section of the Grand Canyon likely developed some 55 million years ago, although the bottom of that ancient canyon was above the height of the current canyon rim at that time before it subsequently eroded to its current depth.
Over a mile deep in places, Arizona's steeply sided Grand Canyon is about 280 miles long and up to 18 miles wide in places. Visited by more than 5 million people annually, the iconic canyon was likely carved in large part by an ancestral waterway of the Colorado River that was flowing in the opposite direction millions of years ago, said Flowers.
"An ancient Grand Canyon has important implications for understanding the evolution of landscapes, topography, hydrology and tectonics in the western U.S. and in mountain belts more generally," said Flowers. The study was funded in part by the National Science Foundation.
Whether helium is retained or lost from the individual apatite crystals is a function of temperatures in the rocks of Earth's crust, she said. "The main thing this technique allows us to do is detect variations in the thermal structure at shallow levels of the Earth's crust," she said. "Since these variations are in part induced by the topography of the region, we obtained dates that allowed us to constrain the timeframe when the Grand Canyon was incised."
Flowers and Farley took their uranium/thorium/helium dating technique to a more sophisticated level by analyzing the spatial distribution of helium atoms near the margin of individual apatite crystals. "Knowing not just how much helium is present in the grains but also how it is distributed gives us additional information about whether the rocks had a rapid cooling or slow cooling history," said Flowers.
There have been a number of studies in recent years reporting various ages for the Grand Canyon, said Flowers. The most popular theory places the age of the Grand Canyon at 5 million to 6 million years based on the age of gravel washed downstream by the ancestral Colorado River. In contrast, a 2008 study published in Science estimated the age of the Grand Canyon to be some 17 million years old after researchers dated mineral deposits inside of caves carved in the canyon walls.
Paleontologists believe dinosaurs were wiped out when a giant asteroid collided with Earth 65 million years ago, resulting in huge clouds of dust that blocked the sun's rays from reaching Earth's surface, cooling the planet and killing most plants and animals.
Because of the wide numbers of theories, dates and debates regarding the age of the Grand Canyon, geologists have redoubled their efforts, said Flowers. "There has been a resurgence of work on this problem over the past few years because we now have some new techniques that allow us to date rocks that we couldn't date before," she said.

The arXiv blog having chosen GrossOne for its daily pick of today, I read the arXiv paper concerned, and posted a comment there. The arXiv blog used to be quite high profile as these things go.
Is there an existing well-known (but not to me) mathematical construction that does what Sergeyev proposes?

Two players put a dollar in a pot. They decide to throw a pair of dice alternatively. The first one who throws a total of $ 5$ on both dice wins the pot. How much should the player who starts add to the pot to make this a fair game?
So my interpretation of this problem is that I first throw a dice and then the other person throws a dice afterwards. E.g. if I throw a 1, and if the other person throws a 4 wins the pot. So we are trying to find the expected payout?

Edmonton Oilers 2016-2017 News and Updates
The Pacific Division is full of California contenders in this year's NHL, including powerhouses such as the Los Angeles Kings, San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the Edmonton Oilers are still struggling to achieve launch. The good news is that they did manage to put a halt to their three-game losing streak, earning their third W of February by a score of 5-2 over the Toronto Maple Leafs. They'll stay at home for the next four, starting with the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday before the Ducks come to town. Get your tickets for Anaheim at Edmonton, with prices starting at just $14 if you act quickly!

2/1/16 - The Edmonton Oilers beat the blue Jackets on February 2 with an impressive score of 5-1. After falling behind in the first period, the Oilers came out in the second ready to take control of the game. Eric Gryba scored in the third minute, followed by goals from Connor McDavid, Benoit Pouliot, and Leon Draisaitl. Jordan Eberle added a power play goal in the final minutes of the game to seal the victory. It made for a rewarding return for McDavid, who also had two assists during the game. The Oilers play the Senators on the 4 and then the Canadiens on the 6. You can still get tickets to catch the action in person, with prices staring at $125.
1/26/16 - The Edmonton Oilers are struggling. Their last victory was nearly two weeks ago and they are now on a three-game losing streak. Worse, this losing streak has continued into their short break back on their home rink. On January 23rd, the Oilers hosted the Nashville Predators and came away with a final score of 4-1. They are about to start a four-game away series, so fans are hoping the Oilers will be able to gain some momentum before heading out. Their last chance will be on February 2nd when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets. Be sure to get your tickets to come show your support. Afterward, the Oilers will not return until February 11th when they begin their longest home series yet.
1/19/16 - The Edmonton Oilers' most recent series of away games have been a challenge. While they did manage to earn a strong 4-2 victory in the opening match against the Florida Panthers, they have failed to hold their own against the Tamp Bay Lightning and the Dallas Stars since then. This means the Oilers have a season record of 19-25-5 and hold the 7th place in the Pacific Division. The good news is that the Oilers are returning to their home rink for back-to-back home games, starting January 23th. They will host the Nashville Predators and the Columbus Blue Jackets, so be sure to get your tickets and come show your support.
1/12/16 - This Saturday, Jan. 16, the Edmonton Oilers will be playing a big game against their Pacific Division rivals, the Calgary Flames. The Oilers will be looking to break their four-game losing streak and have decided to call up Zach Kassian from Bakersfield to help them get the job done. In order to make the change to the roster, however, the team had to place winger Rob Klinkhammer on waivers. Klinkhammer has played just 13 games this season due to an ankle injury and will likely be with the Bakersfield Condors while he heals. Come see Zach Kassian's debut with the Oilers this Saturday at Rexall Palace! Tickets can be purchased now for $59 and up.
1/5/16 - They've got considerable ground to make up if they hope to contend for the postseason in 2016, but the Edmonton Oilers are off to a good start since New Year's Day. They scored a 4-3 shootout victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday and followed it up with a 1-0 overtime win against Carolina, and with just two points separating five teams in the Pacific Division, it's still anyone's game. Edmonton will wrap up their six-game home stand with contests versus Tampa Bay and Florida before hitting the road early next week. Get your seats for Lightning at Oilers on Friday night! Tickets are on sale now and start at just $6 each!
12/29/15 - The Edmonton Oilers have started their much-anticipated series of six home games. Unfortunately, this run comes right on the heels of a few disappointing losses. The Oilers did not have enough momentum, and their first game, against the Los Angeles Kings ended in defeat. The final score came to 5-2, with neither team scoring in the first period. Hopefully, the Oilers will be able to come back and take full advantage of the home advantage this week. Up next, they will be hosting the Anaheim Ducks on December 31st, followed by the Arizona Coyotes on January 2nd. Tickets for the latter matchup are still available starting as low as $29.
12/21/15 - December started so well for the Edmonton Oilers that it seemed they might rise from their second-to-last ranking in the Pacific Division of the NHL's Western Conference. After winning six straight games, however, the Oilers have had three straight losses, including a dismal 5-1 thrashing by the Avalanche. Despite killer performance by the front line, the Oilers had a hard time making shots against Colorado's goalie. After the bad streak, Edmonton is hoping that a Monday night (Dec. 21) home game against the Jets will help get them back on track. Get your tickets today and join the rest of the fans at the Rexall Palace as they cheer on the Edmonton Oilers! Tickets start at $142.
12/15/15 - It's a great time to be on the Edmonton Oilers. The crew has won their last six games and, although only one victory came on the road, they are looking mighty strong. The Oilers most recently defeated the Boston Bruins, who are the first of four competitors they'll face on the road. Edmonton managed to pull out the upset and dash the hopes of the home team and crowd, beating them 3 – 2 in overtime. They'll remain on the road to face the New York Rangers, Chicago Blackhawks, and Colorado Avalanche before returning to Alberta to play the Winnipeg Jets. Come support the Oilers after a long road trip next Monday!
12/8/15 - The Edmonton Oilers are bringing back Nikita Nikitin from the Bakersfield Condors. After originally signing him to the NHL in June 2014, they reassigned him to the AHL team to help him shore up his game. After success with the team, he has earned the right to rejoin the professionals. "He's carried himself very well down there from all reports," remarked Edmonton coach Todd McLellan. With Andrew Ference on the injured list, the decision to recall Nikitin was made in part to give the team a little more depth in the defenseman position. The Oilers are getting ready for a huge game against the New York Rangers this Friday, Dec. 11, at the Rexall Place arena. Tickets are available now for $27 and up.
12/1/15 - After being shut out by the Maple Leafs on Monday, the Edmonton Oilers beat the Bruins in an exciting back and forth game that came down to a shootout. Goalie Anders Nilsson had his work cut out for him, making 38 saves throughout the game. Mark Letestu scored a short handed goal 10 minutes into the second period to bring the Oilers ahead. Eight minutes later, the Bruins equalized. The Oilers got ahead again in the third period when Matt Hendricks scored. Boston equalized again, sending the game into overtime. Jordan Eberle was the only one to score in the shootout, giving the victory to Edmonton. The team hosts the Stars on December 4, with tickets available starting at $12.
11/24/15 - The Edmonton Oilers have been struggling ever since the season began. They are at the bottom of the standing board in the Pacific Division and can't seem to win more than one game in a row. On November 23 they slapped the puck against the Washington Capitals. The game was not strong offensively, ending with the Capitals on top 1-0. A lot of the credit goes to the Capitals strong defense, including the performance of Braden Holtby. The Oilers hit the road this weekend to take on the Detroit Red Wings. Get your tickets today to cheer on the Oilers to a victory. Tickets start at $56 each and are still available.
11/17/15 - The Edmonton Oilers came close but were unable to add a win to the record when they lost to the Blackhawks on November 18 in overtime. The Blackhawks drew ahead first, scoring two points in the second period. Jordan Eberle scored to bring the Oilers to within one point late in the period, and then Benoit Pouliot tied the game four minutes into the third. Chicago scored again to get ahead, but Leon Draisaitl equalized the game and took it into overtime. Unfortunately, the Blackhawk's goalie snagging an impressive save in the final seconds of play, and the game went to the Blackhawks. The Oilers next host the Devils on the 20, and tickets are available starting at $31.
11/10/15 - The Edmonton Oilers just finished up a series of four away games, ending with an exciting matchup with the Los Angeles Kings on November 14th. The Oilers played well, but they were only able to win one of the four matches. They took a 4-3 victory against the Anaheim Ducks. Now, however, the Oilers should be able to relax a little as they prepare for two home matches. They will be facing the Chicago Blackhawks and the New Jersey Devils, both of whom are potent challengers. Get your tickets to help cheer the Oilers on to beating out their toughest obstacles yet. Tickets are available starting at $27 and $32 respectively.
11/3/15 - After losing a close game against the Flames on the 31, the Edmonton Oilers beat the Flyers. In the game against the Flames, the Oilers rallied late to tie the game, but then the Flames scored in the final minute of play to take the win. The Oilers once again had to rally from behind when they played the Flyers, but this time they were successful. After scoring first with a power play goal late in the first period, they fell behind 2-1 by the end of the second. They scored three goals in the third period to take the win. They will look to get another win when they play the Penguins on the 6. Tickets are available staring at $85.
10/27/15 - One hockey team that you don't hear a lot about is the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are currently sitting in the middle of the pack in the Pacific Division and seem to be holding their own. They went on a three-game winning streak during the middle of October, but after losing to the Washington Capitals on October 23, the Oilers haven't been able to pull out of a struggling, losing slump. See if the Oilers can regroup and bring their team back together when they take on the Calgary Flames on October 31. It is the perfect way to spend your Halloween weekend, so get your tickets before it is too late.
10/20/15 - Vaunted rookie Connor McDavid was expected to bring excitement to an Edmonton Oilers team that finished at the bottom of the league last season. So far, the No. 1 overall pick is doing just fine. McDavid knocked in the fourth goal of his young NHL career, befuddling Detroit net minder Petr Mrazek with a stunning deke to put Edmonton up 3-0. The Red Wings would manage a late score to get themselves on the board, but it wasn't nearly enough to catch up before the horn. Edmonton will look to climb the Pacific Division standings with a couple home wins this weekend. Get your tickets for Oilers vs. Kings at Rexall Place from $20 and up!
10/15/15 - The Edmonton Oilers aren't proud of the way that their 2015 season has started. Already, the Oilers have lost their first three games and haven't been able to add a W to their record. On October 13, the Oilers took on the Dallas Stars at the American Airlines Center. Everything was all tied up at the end of the second period, but that is when Stars 13-year veteran, Jason Spezza, took matters into his own hands. He broke the tiebreaker late in the third period, making it his third goal of the night and leading the Stars to victory. See if the Oilers can come back from their losing streak when they slap sticks with the Calgary Flames on October 17. Buy your tickets today.
10/6/15 - The Edmonton Oilers are ready for their first game against the St. Louis Blues on October 8. With the opening game so close, the Oilers have announced their captains for the season. Joining former captain Andrew Ference will be Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and Jordan Eberle as alternate captains. Because Eberle is currently on the injured list, Matt Hendricks will start the season as an alternate until Eberle's return. The Oilers have also finalized their roster in preparation for the start of the season, sending Leon Draisaitl to the AHL Bakersfield Condors and listing Dillon Simpson on the injured reserve list alongside Eberle. You can still get your tickets for all the games this season, with prices starting at just $7.
9/15/15 - More than 14,000 fans showed up to the Rexall Palace to watch the Edmonton Oilers in an exciting exhibition game Wednesday night. For many, the evening was an exciting kickoff to the 2015-2016 hockey season, and the expectations are high for the Oilers and for newcomer, Connor McDavid. In his debut with the Oilers, he made three assists to help his team beat the scrimmage. Coach Gerry Fleming was happy with McDavid's performance, stating he is "explosive and such a dynamic player, he's fun to watch." Edmonton fans will have plenty of chances to see the Oilers play in the upcoming weeks and months, as the preseason is set to begin next week! They will take on the Flames at Rexall Palace on Monday (Sept. 21). Tickets are on sale now and start at just $9.
2014-2015 Season
4/8/15 - If nothing else, the Edmonton Oilers didn't finish in last place in their division this season, though they remained in the cellar for a significant portion of the year. However, the Oilers are hoping for more success next year, with the possibility of high draft picks in the offseason.
3/25/15 - Wait 'til next year, Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers, who have struggled mightily all season, were eliminated from playoff contention last week, joining Arizona as the first two Western Conference squads to be knocked out of the running; the Oilers are 25 points behind their next nearest Pacific Division rivals, San Jose.
3/16/15 - Mathematically eliminated from the postseason, the Edmonton Oilers will see their final 13 games as opportunities to gain experience for next season. They open a six-game stretch of games on their home ice beginning on Monday versus the Toronto Maple Leafs, as they look for a measure of revenge for the 5-1 beating the Leafs handed them back in early February. We have great prices on Oilers home games throughout the week, including $9 seats for Edmonton vs. Columbus on Wednesday night, and $28 tickets to see the hometown team take on the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Bring the family out to Rexall Place and enjoy all the excitement of the NHL live—there are only a handful of opportunities remaining this season, so don't miss out!
3/11/15 - Can the Edmonton Oilers work their way out of the Pacific Division – and Western Conference – cellar this season? The Oilers will need a big push to get past division rival Arizona; currently, they're three points behind the Coyotes, and in the middle of a five game losing streak.
3/4/15 - Even though the team above them in the Pacific Division standings, Arizona, has failed to win in their last 10 games, the Edmonton Oilers still can't get around them. The Oilers themselves have lost their last two and four out of their last five, the lone bright spot being a victory on the road two weeks ago in Minnesota.
2/25/15 - They're making a move, these Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers, who won their last outing on the road at Minnesota, have moved to within one point of sixth-place Arizona, and an opportunity to escape the cellar of the Pacific Division if the cards fall right.
2/19/15 - After going 2-4 on a six game road trip through Eastern Conference foes, the Edmonton Oilers returned to home ice at Rexall Place and secured a 4-3 shootout win over Boston. The Oilers made good use of the power play, converting two of four man-advantage opportunities.
2/4/15 - Since coming back from the All-Star break, the Edmonton Oilers have split their four contests, with a win in their most recent outing. The Oilers needed to go to a shootout, though, to gain the victory over division rival San Jose.
1/28/15 - A two-game winning streak by the Edmonton Oilers came to a halt Tuesday night, as the league returned to action after the All-Star Game. The Oilers fell at home to Minnesota by a 2-1 count, with Boyd Gordon's goal the only tally for the Oilers.
1/21/15 - Break 'em up, they're on a winning streak. The Edmonton Oilers, who are struggling mightily to maintain relevance in a division where the top team is threatening to run away, have won two games for the first time since November. The Oilers are currently 33 points behind first place Anaheim.
1/14/15 - With a win over Chicago last Friday, the Edmonton Oilers joined the rest of the league at the 10-victory level. However, the Oilers have dropped their last two since, and remain as the Pacific Division's cellar-dweller with a league low 29 points from 44 games.
1/7/15 - They're 28th in the league in goals scored per game; 29th in the league in goals allowed per game, and power play conversion. They're 25th on the penalty kill. Yes, it's been quite a fall for the Edmonton Oilers from the halcyon days of Gretzky and Messier.
12/17/14 - What's the difference between Anaheim and Edmonton? Well, hockey-wise, it's 27 points – that's the gap between Pacific Division leading Anaheim and the cellar-dwelling Edmonton Oilers, who are in the midst of a five-game losing streak. The Oilers are the lone remaining Western Conference squad who have yet to reach the 10-win plateau.
12/10/14 - For the struggling Edmonton Oilers, it's becoming difficult to point to many positives. The Oilers are tied with Carolina from the East in fewest points; have the fewest wins of any team in the league (seven); and have the second-worst goal differential (minus-34, trailing only Buffalo's minus-37).
12/3/14 - It's been a disappointing first two months of the NHL season at the Rexall Centre, where the Edmonton Oilers have accumulated just 16 points, on a level with injury-riddled Columbus for fewest in the NHL. The Oilers are on a 10 game losing streak and have fallen seven points behind Arizona in the Pacific Division.
11/19/ 14 - It's shaping up to be another long season in Northern Alberta. The Edmonton Oilers, at the bottom of the Pacific Division, are one of the three bottom-most teams in the league, just a single point ahead of Eastern Conference laggards Columbus, and two points ahead of Buffalo.
11/12/14 - As teams in the Pacific Division like Anaheim and Vancouver pull away, the Edmonton Oilers fin themselves mired in last place, tied with Arizona. The Oilers are being outscored by an average of almost a goal a game, and overall are minus-14 in goal differential.
10/28/14 - After a devastating loss against the Nashville Predators, the Oilers are gearing up for what they hope will be the beginning of a turnaround. With a handful of new players, it's fair to assume that the Edmonton Oilers are a ticking time bomb of potential just waiting to break lose on the league. Their very own ice seems like the ideal place for that new skill to be carefully focused into one, collective team effort, which could mean good things for the upcoming home game. Though fans have been frustrated with the slow start to the season, the Oilers are eager to show the NHL that they mean business. Fans can get in on the action this Saturday night with ticket prices starting at $47.
Edmonton Oilers will start to reap the benefits from their rebuilding project in the 2014-2015 season. After picking op the No. 1 pick in the 2010-2012 NHL Drafts, and the No. 7 in '13 and No. 3 in '14, the Oilers are teeming with young players and their immeasurable potential. In his sophomore year, head coach Dallas Eakins will look to further harness that power and pull Edmonton up from the pool of NHL bottom dwellers. The front office made some additional roster moves that should bolster their rebuild, including the trade for Teddy Purcell in exchange for Sam Gagner (Tampa Bay) and the additions of Benoit Pouliot, Mark Fayne and Nikita Nikitin—not to mention, first round pick Leon Draisaitl. Score Edmonton Oilers tickets for their 2014-2015 season and see this team on the rise! See them open up their 82-game slate at Rexall Place on Oct. 9 against the Calgary Flames.
2013-2014 Season
4/9/14 – By the sounds of things, Ryan Jones will never be part of the Edmonton Oilers lineup again. After four seasons with the club, the winger has said publically that he is ready to move on. Jones was struck in the knee by a puck in late March against the Ducks and although the injury will not require surgery, the veteran will not return before the season finale. The Oilers last game at Rexall Place this season is set for Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks (min $62). The cheapest Edmonton Oilers tickets on Thursday when the Los Angeles Kings visit is a measly $12, 200 level seats are just $2 more.
4/3/14 – With Ryan Jones (knee) and Luke Gazdic (shoulder) out with season-ending injuries, the Oilers called up Will Acton from OKC and moved Phillip Larsen to the wing from blueline. One Oiler who hopes to be back in the lineup before the regular-season culminates is team captain, Andrew Ference, who has been out since March 28 with a partially torn pectoral muscle. The squad was set to record their second straight win over the Anaheim Ducks Wednesday but fell short after their mighty opponents scored three unanswered goals. Looking forward, the Oilers travel to Phoenix to finish off their California road trip; Edmonton is 5-16 in the last 21 meetings against the Coyotes in the desert.
3/28/14 – After going 10-4-3, Edmonton dropped three straight which summarizes their roller coaster year. Tonight the Oilers will face the Anaheim Ducks at home in their first of two meeting in the next 10 days. Friday's matchup is averaging $111, $20 more than the April 6 game at Rexall Place. Loyal Edmontonians will fill the building and create a notoriously loud environment when the So Cal team visits; will it be enough to help the Oilers get their first win at Rexall Place against Anaheim since 2007?
3/19/14 – With Tuesday's 5-1 victory over Nashville, the Oilers have gone 10-4-3 over their last seventeen. That puts Edmonton within one point of the Florida Panthers and within four of the Calgary Flames in the NHL Standings. With five more games in Edmonton, including one against Buffalo (avg. $47) and another vs. Calgary Flames (avg. $139), the Oilers are capable of extending their current streak. Cheap Edmonton Oilers tickets are available for under $30 to every remaining regular-season home game except the finale (Vancouver).
3/10/14 – The Edmonton Oilers were sellers in Wednesday's trade deadline fare, trading Nick Shultz to the Blue Jackets for a pick and dealing 11-year Oiler Ales Hemsky to the Senators for a pair of draft picks. Shultz and Hemsky were two of the Senators four 30+ veterans dealt elsewhere. The Oilers did land goalie Viktor Fasth from the Ducks who is expected to start Tuesday against the Wild; the add gives Edmonton a duo of Ben Scrivens and Fasth which looks to be an upgrade from the start of the season. After five straight at Rexall Place, the Oilers hit the road for four in a row this week.
3/4/14 – The Oilers will play three games at home this week – Senators (avg. $68), Islanders (avg. $75), Kings (avg. $78) - after recently signing Ben Scrivens to a two-year contract extension. One day before the NHL trade deadline, the Oilers sent Ilya Bryzgalov to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for a 2014 fourth-round pick. Separately, Edmonton acquired Viktor Fasth from Anaheim for a third-round pick in 2015 and a third-rounder in 2014. The duo of Scrivens and Fasth will essentially replace the tandem of Devan Dubnyk and Jason LaBarbera from the start of the season – an upgrade to the Edmonton Oilers roster!
2/25/14 - When practice resumed following the Olympic break, the Oilers found themselves with quite a crowded blue line. Edmonton worked with nine defensemen, and two more call-ups, which means trade deadline moves are bound to happen soon. In addition to possibly moving Sam Gagner and Aleš Hemsky, the most likely trade to be made will be veteran Nick Schultz, who may be exchanged for a draft pick. See if the offensive trifecta (Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle) and stellar goalie Ben Scrivens (first in the NHL in save percentage) can carry the Oilers into a winning season. Edmonton will meet the Minnesota Wild in their first game back from Sochi; tickets start at $12 for the Thursday night match at Rexall Place.
2/21/14 - Before the Olympic break, the Edmonton Oilers were 5-3-2 and showing greatly improved numbers over their early season record. Can they maintain the momentum for the second half of the year? The Oilers will faceoff against the Minnesota Wild when they return from break on 2/27 with talented addition Ben Scrivens (from Los Angeles) as netminder. Edmonton Oilers tickets are just $12 to get in on the NHL action! All three players Edmonton sent to Sochi will come back medal-less: Martin Marcninin (Slovakia), Anton Belov (Russia) and Ales Hemsky (Czech Republic).
2/4/14 – The Oilers may be one of the under-performing teams in the league but not as of late as Edmonton has won four of their last five. But fans have to assume that a change in the Oilers roster is palpable ahead of the NHL trade deadline. Most recently, the Leafs sent Mark Fraser to the Oilers for two prospects Friday. Sources say that there have been talks with the Kings about a Sam Gagner trade; the Forward inked a three-year contract with an annual average value of $4.8 million after a valuable effort last season for the Oilers. Will we see a revamped squad when the Edmonton Oilers return to the ice in late February?
1/30/14 – Did you watch newly acquired Ben Scrivens set an NHL record with 59 saves Wednesday night against the Sharks? The spectacular performance in front of a home crowd helped the Oilers shutout San Jose 3-0. Now, with three straight wins to their name, the Oilers will hit the road for four in a row. Fans won't see their beloved team until after the 2014 Olympic games when Edmonton returns to the ice Feb 27 to take on Minnesota. Edmonton Oilers tickets are averaging $125 for the 15 remaining games at Rexall Place.
The Oilers have the third most expensive
NHL tickets
in the league, averaging $337. Last year Oilers tickets were the eighth most expensive averaging $175. The 92% increase in price since last year is the second largest increase of any NHL team. The Oilers have not played in the postseason for seven straight seasons but fans are finding optimism with the recent signing of hometown defenceman Andrew Ference and new GM Craig MacTavish. Last year the Oilers climbed the League standings and battled playoff teams in the regular season. Improvement from the young squad was noticed and has Oilers fans excited for the 2013-14 year. The additions of David Perron, Denis Grebeshkov, Andrew Ference, and Philip Larsen this offseason should help in the rebuilding process and add some needed experience to the Oilers roster.
2012-2013 Season
The Edmonton Oilers will face rivals
Calgary Flames
three times during the regular season at
Rexall Place
. Battle of Alberta tickets are most expensive for the two March meetings, averaging $374 (3/1) and $367 (3/22); in fact these two games are the second and third most expensive games on the Edmonton Oilers schedule. The highest priced game comes against the
Pittsburgh Penguins
on 1/10 (avg. $412).
A new Edmonton arena is being built for the Oilers in downtown for the 2016 season. The $480 million project is expected to break ground this summer and the final product will hold 18,500 people.

When making a hummus one of the key factors seems to be removal of chickpea white skins.
Are there any tips on how can I effectively peel the skins off in an efficient way?
Peeling chickpeas will give you a creamier texture, but won't have much of an effect on taste.
The most efficient way I know of peeling them is to rub small handfuls in the palm of your hands. It will still take some time to work through them, but it's far more efficient than using your fingertips.
One other possibility is to use a product similar to Oxo's silicon garlic peeler. It's a tube in which you can place garlic and roll around until the cloves are peeled. I have one and it works amazingly well. I suspect it would be great for chickpeas too.
You can also try doing it in a bowlful of water; the skins will float to the surface when they come loose.
I rolled the chickpea between two tea towels and used a rolling pin. Rolled the chickpeas wich loosen the skin then place the chickpeas into a bowl with water and let gravity lifed the skins up to the top. I washed the peas. There you are chickpeas without water easy.
the ABSOLUTE BEST WAY, is to cook them only half the time (the dried ones and drained 24 hours), half the time would be 20-25 minutes... take them out after 25 minutes, put a tablespoon of baking soda on an ounce (420 grams), stir the soda in well. Than put them on a very hot flat pan over the fire for 2-3 minutes. The skin will just stick to the pan. Than put the chickpeas back to boil for 20 more minutes. It'll take about 90-95% of the skins without peeling them one by one.
If you have a hand mill, you can run chickpeas through it on a very course setting. That'll crack the peas and dislodge the skin. Skins can then be quickly removed by sieving or shaking. Be cautious when milling though. Chickpeas can be very hard, too hard for a mill that's set for too fine a product.
You could pass the chickpeas through a food mill.
Pureeing something while holding tough parts back is what these things are designed for.

Manatee lending volume increases
Published: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
MANATEE COUNTY - The biggest mortgage lenders in this county topped their January loan production volume last month, though the value was down 23 percent.
Lenders made 516 loans totaling $124 million during February, up from 476 transactions during January with a total value of about $161 million.
Wells Fargo (129 loans valued at $24 million) topped the chart, with New York Community Bank coming in second. That bank made just one loan for $21 million to the new owner of the Champions Walk apartment complex in Bradenton.
Third was JPMorgan Chase (91 loans, $14 million), and fourth was Quicken Loans (70 loans, $12.7 million).
Rounding out the list were Bank of America (61, $12 million), SunTrust Bank (48, $9.7 million), BB&T (47, $9.3 million), US Bank (8, $9.2 million), Real Estate Mortgage Network (39, $6 million) and CitiBank (22, $6 million).
Sarasota County's biggest lenders issued 686 loans during February, worth $117.6 million. That compared with 682 loans in January valued at $123 million. Loan totals for three months have been around that 680 mark.

Hello @ all.
I use a NN3 and a recently installed MKIII rotator with a Canon 40D with Sigma 8mm and Tokina 10-17 Fisheye.
All fine - BUT:
the vertical arm is much to short.
The camera crashes against the central knob when I try to shoot the Zenith shot.
I turned the camera already so the remote-control shows up and not toward the tripod: no way.
I use the Tokina @ 98mm horizontal setting - as written in the list.
NPP ist not a problem at all.
The MKIII is not that much flater the the original one- unfortunately.
So I want to know:
-Is there a vertical extension available ??
-Will the new rotators be flat enough to turn to the Zenith ?? Altough: this would not solve the Problem, the cam woukd crash against the rail then. So only an extension must be suitable.

I have Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 installed in my Macbook Pro. When I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion from Snow Leopard I did a clean install since some applications weren't compatible with Lion. I am planning to Upgrade to Mountain Lion now. Is it recommend to do a clean install? What are the advantages of doing so?
Installing cleanly gives you the advantage that you will know if an error is due to the "as-shipped" condition of the software before you add your data and applications to the mix. The installation of a new OS is the primary time when people notice corruption of a filesystem or other hardware type errors since a machine can often keep running well with some little errors. But relinking all the kernel extensions and drivers and knowing that your accessories and applications will all take to a major new OS is a lot of change. Spending a little extra time up front can help isolate issues if you have them.
By running the migration later, you have more control over things and can also choose to hand migrate anything first that you don't trust the tools to automate.
You are able to fresh install Mountain Lion following this tutorial provided by http://itsalltech.com/2012/07/16/how-to-clean-install-os-x-mountain-lion/
However, if they are brand-new Macs that have files you don't mind keeping, I'd probably just install it the customary way through the Mac App Store. Clean installing is longer, more involved, and perhaps not even necessary. However, it is useful for those who wish to remove all files from their previous install with a fresh start. Hope this helps.

WACO (November 5, 2012)--A three-dimensional 400-square-foot temporary home built by Baylor students in the event of natural disasters will be entered into a national video contest.
Interior design students, along with some engineering, film and psychology students, will design a small dwelling that cannot exceed 400 square feet for a family of four.
The unit must contain a sleeping area, food preparation area and bathroom, with a sustainable solution considered. The building must be quick to assemble and disassemble and tents will not be allowed.
On Monday, Texas Baptist Disaster Recovery Specialist Marla Bearden discussed with students the current temporary housing efforts in Japan, Haiti and the Gulf Coast.
To prepare for the contest students have researched the pros and cons of government-provided lodging during past disasters.
The contest is sponsored by the Interior Design Educators Council (IDEC) and Florida International University's Department of Interior Architecture.
The competition begins Friday.

SKC's Kei Kamara Loaned To Norwich City F.C.
Posted: 1:07 PM Jan 30, 2013
Reporter: Sporting KC PR (Posted By J.B. Bauersfeld)
Peter Vermes On Kamara's Loan
Sporting KC loans Kei Kamara to Norwich City F.C.
Sporting KC forward loaned to EPL club through May 6
(January 30, 2013) - Sporting Kansas City announced on Wednesday that the club has loaned forward Kei Kamara to Norwich City F.C. (English Premier League) through May 6, pending Kamara receiving authorization for a work permit . Sporting Kansas City will receive two-thirds of the substantial loan fee to use as allocation money^ per MLS rules. If Norwich City elects not to acquire the player on a full transfer by May 6, then Kamara will rejoin Sporting Kansas City, where he will be available to play immediately for the club. As part of the agreement, Kamara's contract with MLS has been extended.
"Our club continues to get a lot of attention throughout Europe," Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes said. "As we do with all of our decisions, we always think about the long-term impact on our organization, as well as the short-term. Ultimately, this opportunity allows us to re-invest back into the club and solidify our core group of players.
"We understand that players are going to be sought after and that players aspire to fulfill personal and professional ambitions. We want to continue to help them achieve those goals and this helps us accomplish that objective, along with extending his contract. We have a very strong roster and this enables another player to step up."
In seven MLS seasons, Kamara has 45 goals and 21 assists in 178 appearances. He has led Sporting KC in scoring each of the last three seasons, including a career-high 11 goals and eight assists last year.
A 2012 MLS All-Star, Kamara has also been a finalist for MLS W.O.R.K.S. Humanitarian of the Year the past two seasons for his community efforts in Kansas City and his native Sierra Leone.
"It is a very bittersweet day as I am excited to achieve one of my goals, which was to play in the EPL," Kamara said. "Being such a positive person, I trust in this decision and am thankful for the opportunity to play at Norwich City through the end of their season. I am grateful for the coaching staff at Sporting KC and especially Peter (Vermes) for believing in me and helping me through this process."
Kamara is set to become the second player acquired by an English Premier League club from Sporting Kansas City during the January transfer window. Midfielder Roger Espinoza joined Wigan Athletic earlier this month after five years in Kansas City.
Sporting Kansas City, first place finishers in the Eastern Conference each of the last two years, will begin the 2013 season on March 2. Manager Peter Vermes' roster returns captain and MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Jimmy Nielsen, MLS MVP finalist Graham Zusi, MLS Defender of the Year Matt Besler and MLS Best XI selection Aurelien Collin, alongside new attacking additions that include Designated Player Claudio Bieler and U.S. Men's National Team midfielder Benny Feilhaber.
^In accordance with MLS Roster Rules and Regulations , allocation money does not count against a club's salary budget and can be used:
To sign players new to MLS
To re-sign an existing MLS player, subject to League approval
To "buy-down" a player's salary budget charge below the League maximum
In connection with the exercise of an option to purchase a player's rights or the extension of a player's contract for the second year provided the player was new to MLS in the immediately prior year
So, I wanted to write you a note about Kei. I'm sure you know by now we've agreed to loan Kei to Norwich City in the EPL until early May. I've just returned from Tucson and had the opportunity to be very involved in this, and I spoke with Kei over the past couple days as we worked through things. I need to preface this by telling you that we love having Kei on our team. He's performed, connected with fans and created a life for himself in Kansas City that will last long after he's done with soccer.
One of the frustrating things for fans, but a fact of life, is that our players will have aspirations to play in the top leagues throughout the world – most especially the EPL. If we are to continue on the track of being a well-respected organization for player development, then it will be inevitable that teams will come after our players and that our players will have desires to go test their talents in these top leagues.
As an organization, we are never going to begrudge them for it – and we certainly don't in this case with Kei. We've committed to you that our goal is to produce a consistent, championship-caliber team over the long-term. We've been outspoken early this year that an MLS championship is our primary goal. In light of today's news, nothing has changed in our expectations. It's situations like this that test our organization's ability to maximize the opportunity to meet both of those goals, while working with our players' aspirations and professional development.
Strange as it may seem, we think this gives us the best opportunity to keep Kei long-term. As much as he loves Kansas City, Kei deeply wants to experience the EPL and this is his chance. So we've partnered with him to give him the chance to do so for the first 10 games this season. The loan proceeds will allow us to reinvest in our existing young core of players and solidify their futures in the club. In the event Kei is signed by Norwich City, our club would receive a very fair transfer fee that again, we'd use to reinvest in our club. If Kei returns in May, his contract is extended and we will work in earnest to sign him to a deal that keeps him with the club through the end of his career. If we hadn't have done this, Kei would have left at the end of the year as a "free" player, similar to Roger Espinoza this past year. So the risk we take is allowing him to go for 10 games this year, in hopes of getting him for years to come.
I'm not going to say to you that "this is a business," and you have to get used to it. I know it's not a business to you, it's very personal. It is to us as well. We get to know these young men very well, and do what we can to create a partnership that encourages them to connect with the community and hopefully stick around for the long-term. We don't like it when they go. I understand the impact this has on your kids as well – to the nth degree. My seven- and six-year-olds, Katherine and Charlie, don't ask me, "Why did they let him go?" They ask me, "Why did YOU let him go?" so I get it…..
We want Kei to continue to be successful. He deserves it for the hard work he's put in. There's a chance we won't get him back, and if so, we can all cheer him on in the EPL and be proud to call him one of ours. But if he comes back, I know we'll all welcome him with #heartshapedhands.
Take care,

BEIJING: A Chinese state-run newspaper blamed Washington yesterday for the North Korean nuclear crisis and another stressed Beijing's limited scope for action, six days after tensions rose with a third atomic test.
The finger-pointing came as China's foreign ministry restated its "firm opposition" to the blast but mentioned no reprisals — a mild reply compared to the condemnation and threats of tough sanctions by the US and other nations.
Beijing has propped up Pyongyang since the 1950-53 Korean War, for fear of instability that might bring refugees into its territory, a US-led military escalation in the region or even a unified Korea with a US military presence next door.
While Washington has pressed Beijing to use its trade and aid leverage over its dependent neighbour, some in China claim the US in fact holds greater sway as it can offer North Korea its most-sought-after prize of a security guarantee.
"The United States should take the major share of blame for rising tensions on the peninsula," the China Daily said, citing a researcher from the state-affiliated Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
"The US did not respect the security concerns of (North Korea) and that is the reason why the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula has not been solved," it said, paraphrasing an expert from the respected Tsinghua University.
Citing the same expert, the paper — which put its story on the front page under the headline "US 'must act to ease peninsula tension'" — accused Washington of using North Korea's nuclear pursuits as an excuse to build its regional military presence.
"Washington may not want Pyongyang's nuclear issue to be solved, because it offers an excuse for the US to deploy anti-missile systems and hold military drills in the region, which are in line with its military rebalance to East Asia," it said.
Meanwhile, a Global Times editorial stressed the dilemma China faced in taking punitive steps against North Korea might be futile.
"These steps will turn Pyongyang against Beijing in a split that would serve the US.
"Since Pyongyang's nuclear test has damaged China's interests, it's necessary for China to give Pyongyang a certain 'punishment'.
"The key problem is what the extent of this punishment should be," it said, adding "Beijing is not an ally of Pyongyang.
"If Beijing takes a sharp turn in its attitude toward Pyongyang, it will become North Korea's top enemy, which is the desire of the US, Japan and South Korea," it said.
