Chicagoland Browncoats first met on December 20, 2002 at the viewing of the last Firefly episode - the tv pilot of Serenity.
This was the first foray into fandom for many of the original Chicagoland Browncoats. After meeting everyone gathered, we all collectively called our loved ones to reassure them that no serial killers were present and proceeded to have a mighty fine shindig.
Some of us kept in touch and we decided we wanted to continue to support the show hoping that our efforts, along with Browncoats around the world, that our show would be picked up at another network.
- 2003
- February @Capricon: Hosted by unclehyena and his wife, this was the first gathering at Capricon.
* 2004
- February @Capricon: Chicagoland Browncoats hosted a party room at Capricon where we won the award for "Best Theme Party" for our Blue Sun Room.
- August @Wizard World - Chicago: We hosted a fan table in Artists Alley and greatly puzzled the WW organizers when we didn't sell anything! We promoted Firefly, gave stuff away and made a few friends. Most importantly JOSS WHEDON VISITED OUR FAN TABLE! He also signed Flyhead's triptych and signed a picture of Rhobyneish's grandson - signing it "baby browncoat" which made him the first official baby browncoat.
- September: We host the inaugural Browncoat Ball
* 2005
- February @Capricon: We once again host a party room. This time our theme is St. Lucy's Hospital. We all wear doctor's coats and stethoscopes and order health checks for fellow con attendees. Our drinks are "blood bags" of various blood types in ziplock bags (but then put into a cup 'cause trying to set down a ziplock bag would have been a disaster!) We almost make a clean sweep of all the award that year: Best Party, Best Theme, Best Non-Alcoholic (Blood Transfusions, Pee-in-a-Cup, Blue Sun Shots) and Best Alcoholic Drink (Blood Transfusions). Image of the awards We weren't in the running for Best Food since we didn't serve any.
- August @Wizard World - Chicago: We host a fan table again, this time to promote the movie Serenity.
- September @Serenity Red Carpet Premiere in Hollywood, CA: A few Chicago Browncoats get invited to the Premiere where we watched the movie and then headed to the Premiere Party.
* 2006
- February @Capricon: We host a "Kimono Party" (just like a toga party).
- February @Capricon: We host a party but this time, the theme is Enchanted, Inc. in support of Browncoat author Shanna Swendson
- 2008
- February @Capricon: We host a party themed Inara's Shuttle. Draped in seduction, it was a party that went until dawn.
We meet as often as we can but there are some gatherings that have become tradition.
All information for upcoming shindigs can be found in the Chicagoland Browncoats Forum and we are completely open to new shindigs! Mostly if you want to have a shindig, you may want to post a poll to see how much interest there is then go from there.
- February
- Capricon
- May
- Chinatown mini-shindig
- July
- Safe House mini-shindig (at the Safe House restaurant in Milwaukee, Wisconsin)
- August
- October
- September
Our Can't Stop the Serenity Screenings move around as needed and will be on August 29, 2009 this year. (was in June in 2007 and July in 2008)

Gazprom Neft Middle East, the operator of Gazprom Neft's projects in Iraqi Kurdistan, is to conduct a 2D seismic survey on the south-eastern section of the Halabja block. The technical equipment and personnel required for the survey are currently being transferred from the south-western section, where the company has already successfully completed a survey spanning 225 linear km. 2D seismic surveys covering approximately 870 linear km are scheduled to be conducted on the Halabja block by the end of the year.
In 2014, a 2D seismic survey covering 130 linear km was conducted on the block. The first exploration well is expected to be drilled in 2015/2016.
Mikhail Kholodov, CEO of Gazprom Neft Middle East, said: "The Halabja block has until now undergone very little geological study. Conducting seismological surveys is the first step towards identifying the optimal location for an exploration well and these provide a significant amount of new information on the structure of the block."

Senior Survey
- March 31, 2017
- Utkarsh Prabhakar
- Hits: 1114
It's that time of the year again when we say our goodbyes, a lot of them indeed. Some to our batch-mates who would be graduating and even more to our beloved seniors. BSP took a survey of the graduating class of 2017 to find out, for perhaps the last time before they're out into the world, how they reflect upon their last four to five years of their lives spent at IITD. The questions ranged from academics to extra-curricular activities, from relationship statuses to porn viewership, from food preferences to many more exciting indulgences. Read on to find out more about what the one that leaves has to say!Read more ...

It's time for the next installment of "Happier with Gretchen Rubin."
Update: I talk about Barnaby, our new dog! (As promised, here's a picture of Barnaby with our producer, Henry Molofsky.) And a shout-out to our super-fans in Omaha, Nebraska.
Also, you'll hear us talk about our new (and we hope improved, though Elizabeth is doubtful) way of referring to previous episodes, so that you can easily find them here on my site. That's happiercast.com/32 (or the number of whatever episode you're looking for).
Try This at Home: Raise the bar (yes, you remember that right, in episode 29 we suggested lowering the bar; the opposite of a profound truth is also true). What works for you — lowering or raising the bar, or both?
Happiness Stumbling Block: It turns out that friendly teasing is often not perceived to be as friendly as the teaser intends. How about you? Have you ever had a less-than-positive experience with teasing?
We refer to two books: Self-Insight: Roadblocks and Detours on the Path to Knowing Thyself by David Dunning and Best Friends, Worst Enemies: Understanding the Social Lives of Children by Michael Thompson et al.
Listener Questioner: In our Very Special Episode 30, we had a very special guest — my daughter Eliza. She asked, "Do you have advice for a sixteen-year-old like me?" The answers are so thought-provoking and helpful. We play some highlights.
Gretchen's Demerit: I don't reassure Jamie when he needs reassurance.
Elizabeth's Gold Star: Elizabeth, to her surprise, loves attending Chapel at her son Jack's school.
Call for comments, questions, observations! We're going to spend four weeks talking about my Four Tendencies framework for human nature. So we want to hear from you:
- Take the Quiz to find out if you're a Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, and Rebel here.
- Listen to Elizabeth and me discuss the framework here.
- Read the chapter on the Four Tendencies in Better Than Before
Please, send in our questions and comments by voicemail, email, etc. What's your experience with yourself, spouse, child, patient, colleague, boss, friend, etc? We're dying to hear from you.
As always, thanks to our terrific sponsors

Want to know what to expect from other episodes of the podcast, when you listen to "Happier with Gretchen Rubin?" We talk about how to build happier habits into everyday life, as we draw from cutting-edge science, ancient wisdom, lessons from pop culture—and our own experiences (and mistakes). We're sisters, so we don't let each other get away with much!

Technology has become more prominent in people's lives as computers are used in the workplace to get business done and at home to shop, play games and communicate with family and friends. The increase in computer use over the last few decades created a number of different computer specialties and career fields. Programmers, website designers, information system managers and computer support specialists are just a few of the different jobs available to pick from when you choose a computer career.
Learn about the different specialties in the computer field. Networking, hardware, software and the web are just some of the specialties that exist for people interested in a computer career. You can learn more about these as well as others by visiting the website of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Computer Society or the Association for Computing Machinery.
Use your own computer to gauge your interest in a computer career. If you have a computer and are interested in a computer career, try out the different specialties on your computer. Design a website, create a small game program or network your computer with another to see if a career in computers is right for you and which specialty interests you most.
Research the salary and working conditions for different computer careers. The specialty you choose can dictate what your working conditions are like and how much you make. People who specialize in networking move frequently throughout the day as they run lines, cables and set up networks within a group or organization, while software programmers work at a desk all day. You can find out more about these working conditions as well as the salary differences between specialties by reviewing the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics most recent edition of the Occupational Outlook Handbook.
Find out what education is needed for a computer career. Most jobs in the computer field have a minimum of an associate's degree with some requiring a bachelor's or master's degree. In addition, if you want to advance in the workplace as a computer specialist you often need leadership and supervisory experience.
Shadow people currently in the computer field. To truly see what the job of a specific computer specialty entails, spend the day shadowing an individual currently working in the field. Find out how he spends his day and ask any questions you might have about careers in computers.
Complete an internship. Once you've chosen a computer career, find a company willing to provide you with an internship during summer or a long school break. Although you may not have the skills and education to do any significant work while interning, you can still learn a lot being in the environment, even if you're only getting coffee and making copies.

COPPERAS COVE - About three dozen Coryell County officials and volunteers braved Saturday morning's drizzly weather to plant about 6,000 pinwheels on the lawn of Copperas Cove City Hall to launch local observances of National Crime Victims' Rights Week, which is April 18-24.
Directing the event was Coryell County Crime Victims' Coordinator Amy Perkins, a licensed professional counselor who works with the district attorney's office to protect the rights and welfare of crime victims. Working with her were members of the area chapter of Bikers Against Child Abuse and the Fort Hood Family Advocacy Program, Perkins's office's counterpart in the military.
Coryell County Judge John Firth called the observance "very profound." He said the pinwheels, which represented the freedom gained by crime victims aided by community efforts, "help the public imagine the magnitude of the problems crime creates for victims. We're honoring those victims who have displayed the courage to come forward and help us."
Six-year BACA member "Stalker," a Copperas Cove woman, said, "Being a part of this has changed my life. Most BACA members were victims of assault as children."
She told a story of a family in Colorado where the abuser skinned the family cat and put the body on the doorstep to terrify the victim into silence.
"They do things like this all the time, but others use affection and warn children what will happen to them as perpetrators if they testify. What we do is step into a situation and stay with the victim before a trial, during proceedings and after the legal process to help facilitate the prosecution and the victim's recovery."
Sgt. 1st Class John Malo, deployable sexual assault coordinator at Fort Hood, said, "Very often crime victims can't speak for themselves and don't think they have anyone to talk to. This is a testimony to them that they really do have a voice."
Also Saturday, the group planted a tree on the Coryell County Courthouse lawn in Gatesville to symbolize the hope afforded by victims' rights awareness.
Other activities this week include:
Tolling of church bells at noon each day to remember victims of violent crimes.
A Celebration of Crime Victims' Rights event at
6:30 p.m. Monday at Lea Ledger Auditorium, 400 S. 25th St. in Cove with speaker Carolyn Mosley, whose daughter was a victim of dating violence.
A Victim Advocate Appreciation Brunch from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Gatesville Complex co-sponsored by the Texas Victim Services Association and Central Texas College culinary arts students to present awards to nominees for outstanding service in the field.
Perkins's office is seeking donations to replace the 6,000 pinwheels, which are worn after five seasons of use.
For more information call, Perkins at (254) 865-5911, ext. 2287.

IPBES' first work programme
IPBES' first work programme
The work programme of the Platform for the period 2014–2018 is designed to implement the goal, functions and operating principles of the Platform in a coherent and integrated manner. Analytical work initiated under the work programme will be guided by the Platform's conceptual framework.
Being the first work programme, it is designed to put the Platform on the right path, firmly establishing its working modalities, deliverables, credibility, relevance, legitimacy and reputation, based on a collaborative approach and a high volume of in-kind contributions. It is intended to pave the way for the incremental strengthening of the science-policy interface for biodiversity and ecosystem services across scales, sectors and knowledge systems.
This work programme comprises a sequenced set of objectives, deliverables, actions and milestones for advancing the four functions of the Platform at relevant scales. It is structured along four cross-cutting objectives. The objectives will be achieved through a set of measurable and interlinked deliverables that will be developed in accordance with the Platform's operating principles and procedures. A summary of the rationale and utility of the objectives and deliverables and their interlinkages is presented in the figure below.
The first work programme runs over five years from 2014 to 2018, with annual sessions of the Plenary.
The work programme takes into account the information compiled by the secretariat on earlier programme discussions, the relevant requests, inputs and suggestions put forward by governments, stakeholders and multilateral environmental agreements related to biodiversity and ecosystem services according to decision IPBES/1/3, the reports of regional consultations (see information documents of the second session of the Plenary) and review comments received.
Structure and elements of the conceptual framework
The conceptual framework set out below is a highly simplified model of the complex interactions between the natural world and human societies. The model identifies the main elements, together with their interactions, that are most relevant to the Platform's goal and should therefore be the focus for assessments and knowledge generation to inform policy and the required capacity-building.
The Platform's conceptual framework includes six interlinked elements constituting a social-ecological system that operates at various scales in time and space: nature; nature's benefits to people; anthropogenic assets; institutions and governance systems and other indirect drivers of change; direct drivers of change; and good quality of life.
These elements and their interrelations are further explained in the conceptual framework adopted by IPBES [hyperlink to decision IPBES-2/4] and in two scientific publications building on that decision [hyperlinks to the 2 publications]. Further, a set of e-learning modules [hyperlink to separate site for the modules] explaining the conceptual framework has been developed Sub-Global Assessment Network (SGAN) [hyperlink to SGAN], a strategic partner of IPBES.
Rationale for a conceptual framework for the Platform
The Plenary requested the development of a conceptual framework to give cohesion to the objective, functions and relevant operating principles of the Platform and the relationship among them. Such conceptual framework needed to provide an integrated view of the biodiversity knowledge–policy interface, stimulate new thinking, accommodate diverse human attitudes to biodiversity, and at the same time be as simple as possible to be effective and useful for the diverse array of stakeholders. The conceptual framework adopted by IPBES rises to this challenge [hyperlink to decision IPBES-2/4].
The conceptual framework for biodiversity and ecosystems services is to support the analytical work of the Platform, to guide the development, implementation and evolution of its work programme, and to catalyse a positive transformation in the elements and interlinkages that are the causes of detrimental changes in biodiversity and ecosystems and subsequent loss of their benefits to present and future generations. This conceptual and analytical tool is to underpin all IPBES functions and provide structure and comparability to the syntheses that IPBES will produce at different spatial scales, on different themes, and in different regions.
Salient innovative aspects of the conceptual framework are its transparent and participatory construction process and its explicit consideration of diverse scientific disciplines, stakeholders, and knowledge systems, including indigenous and local knowledge. In this sense, the conceptual framework is a tool for the achievement of a shared working understanding across different disciplines, knowledge systems and stakeholders that are expected to be active participants in the Platform, and is intended to be a basic common ground, general and inclusive, for coordinated action towards the achievement of the ultimate goal of the Platform.

Need to reinstall Chateau
Life was going well in web-site construction until while uploading a custom-page template (via ftp) I inadvertently deleted all the files in Chateau theme folder. Have no idea how this happened and probably couldn't duplicate what I did if I did it 100 times. In any event I need to replace all the Chateau files so my pages will once again work. My problem is that short of totally reinstalling Word Press (which I would really like to avoid) I cannot for the life of find a place to download this specific theme (even though it installed with Word Press). I purchased a version of the them (Chateau-1.0) but when I installed it it was only a simplified version of what I previously had. So, anyone know where I can download a copy of Chateau identical to what installed with my Word Press 3.2.1? Thanks!

Tesco Installing Software to Manage Carbon Footprint Data
U.K. retailer Tesco plans to install software to help fulfill its long-term commitment to drive down carbon emissions across its global operations.
U.K. retailer Tesco plans to install software to help fulfill its long-term commitment to drive down carbon emissions across its global operations.
The chain is working with Islandia, N.Y.-based CA's ecoSoftware, which was developed to help enterprises and managed service providers manage carbon, reduce energy use and become more sustainable, as well as manage and govern their sustainability strategies in a centralized, cross-enterprise process and program.
"When we announced our plan two years ago to reduce our carbon footprint by 50 percent across all of our global operations, we knew we were taking on a big task," said Mike Yorwerth, IT director of Tesco plc. "Since that time, a number of people across the business have been involved in measuring, documenting and reporting on our emissions -- a time-consuming, largely manual task. We're also overseeing hundreds of projects around the world designed to reduce our carbon footprint, all of which need to be prioritized and measured. With CA ecoSoftware, we expect to streamline the process of data management, helping to reduce errors and operational expenses, and improve our ability to communicate major milestones."
Based on ambitious targets announced in 2007 using 2006 as a baseline, Tesco plans to halve emissions from existing buildings by 2020, halve distribution emissions of each case of goods delivered by 2012, and halve emissions from new stores by 2020. The company has already reduced by half its energy use per square foot in its U.K. stores and is diverting 100 percent of waste from its U.K. business away from landfill, achieving this target almost a year ahead of schedule.
CA ecoSoftware offers visual tools designed for evaluating sustainability initiatives, such as projects to reduce carbon emissions or energy consumption, as well as program and project management capabilities, automated assessments for use internally and externally (for suppliers or other third parties), and direct energy metering able to capture information from devices within the data center and facilities across the enterprise.
The software's assessment and reporting features can be used to support voluntary disclosure efforts, in addition to helping satisfy a range of carbon emissions regulations around the world.

Workshop on Social Theory and Migration: Dialogues on Critical Realism and Migration Research
Thursday, 28 April 2011, 9.30am to 5.30pm
Wolfson College, University of Oxford
Hosted by International Migration Institute
The International Migration Institute organised a one-day workshop to start new conversations about social theory and migration studies.
The analytical categories of structure and agency have a prominent place in the research on migration processes, the settlement of people and their social incorporation into host societies. There are two dominant theoretical perspectives where the structure-agency impasse has so far been addressed. The first, and most frequently adopted, is Giddens' notion of structuration; while it is beguiling, it has arguably failed to offer any significant advances for migration theory. The second, critical realism, appears to offer a useful analytical tool for a more sophisticated analysis of structure and agency in migration processes. Nevertheless, attempts at incorporating critical realism into migration studies remain fragmented and its utility is contested.
This workshop aimed to provide a platform for dialogue on how to theoretically and methodologically apply a critical realism perspective in empirical studies of migration processes. The sessions explored the foundations of critical realism; reflected on how it can be applied to migration research; and asked what is distinctive about critical realist approaches to migration research compared to the much more common positivist and relativist studies that dominate the field.
We are grateful to the Oxford Martin School for contributing funds to make this event possible.

I'm not quite sure why it needs to be in thousands. it could have been in 10s.... Like 63 instead of 6300. and give 1 IP per game or something. I guess I don't care about this when I'm not buying stuff, but man, 18 IP off 6300 is too annoying.
Whose Idea was it to have currencies in 1000s? Is it just inflation caused by global commerce? 100 used to be like 10000.... In a certain Asian currency.
P.S. That moment you need 50 ip, so you play bot game, but you need 7 more ip after the match. So much rage.

By IVES GALARCEP
LAUDERHILL, Fla.– There was some predictable first-day rustiness, and nobody is going to be archiving the video of Friday's matches for any how-to seminars, but there was still plenty for MLS scouts to chew on as they evaluate the talent pool.
What should be noted about the first day of any combine is that while you don't want to be starting off with a poor first day, it isn't the end of the world if you have one. Plenty of top MLS players have endured first-day struggles in the combine. From Nick DeLeon, to Darren Mattocks to Steve Zakuani to Omar Gonzalez. Those are just some of the players who had forgettable first days.
Friday's opening matches of the 2013 MLS Combine weren't outstanding, but there were some quality showings at a variety of positions. The Combine's elite midfielders stole the show on Friday, while there were quite a few encouraging outings for the forward class.
The big winners on Friday? Young forward Kekuta Manneh excited scouts with his quickness and confidence for an 18-year old. Carlos Alvarez and John Stertzer also showed very well, while Andrew Farrell solidified his place as the top-rated prospect in the draft.
Here is a closer look at how the positions looked on Friday:
It's tough to impress when you are basically playing one half, but some of the keepers in the Combine managed just that. Brad Stuver came on with his team down 3-0 and while he did give up a goal, he made some key stops. In fact, teammate Scott Goodwin did his best Brad Guzan impression in the first half, coming up with good plays even as his defense let in goals in bunches.
Overall though, none of the keepers had bad days, but then again none of them really blew anybody away with their performances.
There is no getting around the fact that right back is without question the weakest position in the draft. Few of the right backs stood out on Friday, and we were treated to several players being moved from their natural positions to fill the right back roles. Michael Bustamante is a midfielder by trade, but didn't do too badly as a right back.
Andrew Farrell showed glimpses of why MLS scouts love him. He is a freak athlete, boasting speed, strength and outstanding jumping ability. He also isn't afraid to handle the ball. Didn't do anything to hurt his stock on Friday. If anything, he helped solidify his standing by displaying a humble yet confident personality.
Eric Schoenle had a bittersweet day. At times he flashed the technical quality that some scouts rave about, but then he was torched by Kekutah Manneh for a goal and struggled in the second half. He remains one of the top centerback options, but a weak showing on Sunday could begin to jeopardize his standing as the best senior centerback.
A pair of international college defenders caught my eye on Friday in big Hofstra centerback Shaun Foster and tall South Florida central defender Brenton Griffiths. The 6-foot-3 centerbacks showed good qualities, combining size with decent technical ability. The question is whether MLS teams will take either of them knowing they count as international players. Foster is also 24, not quite the age teams look for prospects to be.
It is well-documented (at least on SBI) that this year's draft is heavy on good left back prospects. The group showed some quality on Friday, with John Gallagher and Greg Cochrane standing out.
Not everybody had a standout day. Taylor Kemp didn't make the impact you would expect from the No. 1-rated left back in the pool, and if he doesn't step it up on Sunday he just might lose that label.
The overwhelming number of forwards invited to the Combine led to three of the four teams employing 4-3-3 formations. Erik Hurtado looked very comfortable as a wide forward. He dropped into midfield, connected passes, and showed a willingness to go at defenders.
Coleton Henning also played as a right forward, but spent too much time dropping into midfield.
Will Bates wound if deferring to Zavaleta as a target forward, but at some point in the Combine Bates will need to be given the chance to spear-head the attack as a target forward.
One of the real mysteries of this year's rookie class was 18-year-old forward Kekuta Manneh and the young Generation adidas signing wasted no time showing why MLS felt it necessary to sign him.
Manneh impressed with his speed, mobility and intelligence. He toasted Eric Schoenle for a goal and also made good decisions within the structure of the attack. Teams that weren't familiar with his qualities before the Combine are fully aware now and if Manneh has two more days like Friday, he could play his way into a Top Five spot in the draft.
If Manneh moves up, it could be at the expense of J.J. Johnson, who endured a terrible first day. Widely-regarded as the top forward in the draft entering the combine, Johnson struggled with his touch, movement and decision making. In short, he looked lost. He will need to step up his game considerably if he is going to avoid falling behind the likes of Manneh and Eriq Zavaleta on the draft board.
Another player who hurt their stock was Blake Smith, who just couldn't get going playing more as a wide forward than a pure left winger.
Carlos Alvarez overcame a somewhat disappointing first half to step up and take over his team's game. He registered a goal and assist and showed all the qualities that made him the top playmaker in the nation.
The number of box-to-box midfielders to show well on Friday was surprising. Dillon Powers, John Stertzer, Mikey Lopez and Kyle Bekker all helped their stock on a day where they weren't met with much resistance.
One of the lesser-known players to impress on Friday was Alex Isern. The Winthrop midfielder fight right into the all-ACC midfield of Stertzer and Lopez and didn't miss a beat.
Ian Christianson had a forgettable day, serving as part of a midfield that was flat-out overrun. He isn't expected to be a first-round pick, but if Christianson doesn't improve his game on Saturday he could wind up playing himself further down in the second round.
Zavaleta struggled to make his mark on Friday, in part because of his team's midfield being ineffective in the first half and in part because of a formation that left him isolated against a familiar rival in Michigan centerback Kofi Opare.
The player who made the most of playing a target role was Chris Thomas, who showed mobility, touch and vision. He held the ball up well, and also made the right decisions when it came time to pass the ball.
Deshorn Brown had a forgettable day, but you can chalk that up to the fact he was facing Andrew Farrell, and because his midfield was largely ineffective.
Ashton Bennett faired better than his fellow Jamaican counterparts.
Charlie Rugg was a late addition to the Combine and made the most of his chances, drawing a dangerous free kick before finishing off his own chance. The Boston College forward put together a solid Friday that should give him something to build on.
Devon Sandoval came into the Combine being called the next Steven Lenhart, but he struggled to finish chances and didn't look all that sharp, though he gets points for being involved in the attack. He will need to do better in the remainder of the Combine to ensure himself a place in the first two rounds of the MLS Draft.

Ives, can a bad day or even two truly undo a great three or four year career as it pertains to draft places?
MLS desperately wants to be the NFL. It's really sad.
How do they want to be the NFL? Is it because they have a combine where they bring together the top prospects in the country so that scouts can get a final look at them before the draft? I fail to see how that's sad.
name one other soccer league on the planet that has an amateur draft.
What makes America different?
Countries all over the globe have been organizing and structuring soccer leagues longer than all of us have been alive. They've kind of perfected it. Soccer is the most popular sport on the planet. The theory they use is called rationalization. It's the same theory used for the modern day bureaucracy used in business in every country. Henry Ford developed a system to make automobiles and it was copied worldwide and is still used today. Other countries have rationalized the best way to structure soccer leagues and the best way to develop talent. We already know what works. From Brazil to England to Germany to Japan this system is used. Look at Japan…ever since they developed a more European structure their domestic leagues have flourished and their national team has risen.
I'd really like to know how America is different. It's not as if the Americanized system is working. MLS isn't even being watched by the majority of soccer fans in this country.
The MLS amateur draft actually harms our development. Look at successful soccer nations and one thing they have is common is the short distance for player to club at the beginning of their careers. But here in America we force a kid from Texas(Salgado) to begin his career in Canada and then we wonder why we aren't developing players. Don't get me wrong. this isn't the sole reason, and it's probably not the main one, but there is a reason no other soccer league on the planet has an amateur draft. It's not only inefficient it creates barriers to entry for potential players. Just look at Josh Gatt. Since he did not live near a MLS club, his path to a pro career was either to go to college and then through the MLS draft or go directly to one of the weaker leagues in Europe.
What makes america different? College soccer. No point in reading the rest of your silly and overly-long opinion
Oh here we go the ol well the rest of the world does it bullsh!t. The rest of the world is filled with teams spending out of their means to stay relevant with super clubs sprinkled in. Ill take the NFL model (the draft is in every american sport by the way) that has made it the most attended and profitable league of every sport in the whole world over the rest of the world any day which will end up with a salary cap in the future anyways. College and sports have been engrained in our society for decades. Alabama football alone is bigger than half the teams in europe. Id rather have players in college getting games than not even making the bench in MLS. If youd take the time to research you would realize the college system has gotten more american players to top euro leagues than players that turned pro early. One of the best CB's in the bundesliga played college. I know blows your uneducated mind doesnt it.
you know your argument is weak when you have to insult the person. So right there you've already lost.
It's already been settled that college soccer is not the most efficient path to a pro career. Do you deny this? I guess you are against the homegrown rule and the academy system?
There's a reason no other soccer league on the frickin planet that requires its amateur players to enter a draft to join their top league. It's detrimental to development, its detrimental to the national team, and its unfair to the players. Its even more unfair for American players who in the case of Salgado which shipped off from Texas to Canada. Yet, you think its a good idea because the NFL does it. The NFL is not a global game. The NFL is one league and no other country plays American football.
and btw outside of the US no one has heard of Alabama football and outside of Alabama nobody cares. I can name hundreds of soccer clubs that have more of a worldwide brand than Alabama.
There is a reason no other league uses the draft its because they dont have universities that offer scholarships for sports like we do here. Its that simple. The fact is no one will ever be able to take the college game out of american soccer. Why would you want to remove an organized system of hundreds of fully funded teams that keep young adults playing the game? It makes no sense. Some of the best players to ever come from this country played college ball (Subotic, Dempsey, Reyna, Ibisevic, Keller, Friedel, Boca, McBride the list goes on and on) and its not like turning pro early has created better
players. Look at ruben luna, he was the leading scorer in the academy league, skipped college, got no playing time and got cut while players his same age developed a couple years in college and have surpassed him. Pineda is almost 20 and has yet to get any minutes in MLS. Even MLS coaches are realizing a couple years in college is better than getting no playing time and are letting their top prospects (Trapp, Zardes, Ambrose, Garcia, Robinson, Allen, Bourgeois) join college teams.
Salgado is over 18 years old if he cant handle the move to Canada then how do you expect him to make a move abroad in the future. Plus he had no problem moving to Guadalajara before whats so different about it now? The MLS players union agrees to the draft so I find it hard to believe its unfair to the players.
I dont like the draft because the NFL does it I like the draft because it allows struggling teams to get promising players that can help turn around their team while also giving these players a place where they can get minutes.
If no other country plays football then how is a German and a player from Norway going to get drafted by an NFL team.
Alabama averages 100,000 people a game and is a billion dollar industry with a following all over the country. Much bigger than most euro teams
I don't know if you're a basketball fan, but if you're right, every second-tier league should imitate the best league, shouldn't the Euroleague be moving to an amateur draft? Have a salary cap?
You are criticizing the system but not offering an alternative.
MLS is different then every other league in the world in that the league owns all of the contracts and signs GA players.
Saying "we should just do like every other league does" doesn't address that issue.
Good Jeremy
It's not trying to be the NFL, just trying to have some level of parity so that more than the top 5 teams can sell tickets and sponsorships, thus allowing more than the New York Cosmos to stay afloat.
Another aspect of the draft- the EPL has 20 teams covering England and Wales. There is also the Championship, League One, League Two, and so on. All in England. Here, we have the MLS covering 50 states. It's not reasonable to assume all talent in the country will be effectively scouted by MLS teams (especially given budget constraints) or that it would be developed without the foreign academy systems we can't afford (most European teams can't either) or the college system many abhor.
There's no NFL envy, just a pragmatic business model so the MLS doesn't become another NASL.
so we sacrifice everything for parity i guess. We sacrifice losing players to lesser leagues in Europe. We sacrifice a better national team. We sacrifice allowing our clubs to control their brand and increase their worldwide appeal. Seems like a lot to give up for parity.
The best young players aren't coming out of college now anyway. They are coming out of academies. Won't that mess up your parity? What if LA Galaxy has a better academy and starts signing better players? Should they give them up to the draft for parity?
I'd really like to know how getting rid of the MLS draft would damage this parity.
Oh..so if the MLS didn't have a draft they would become the old NASL and fold?
There are dozens of leagues out there that are equivalent to MLS in quality. Not one of them has an draft or a salary cap. Not one of them is in danger of folding. It helps that they aren't propped up centrally planned franchise leagues.
Henry is crushing it
What? the reason we haven't develop players,isn't just down to college.It's all the way down to the youth levels. College soccer is a great model for developing players? however hasn't had the time to work a model that fits into MLS needs, like the other sports have. In Europe,basketball players are signed at a young age, however the haven't develop a M.Jordan, has they.
"The best young players aren't coming out of college now anyway. They are coming out of academies"? Yes you are right, except those same academy kids are coming out of college as well. Also many collge kids lay all year round. Many play PDL soccer,you also have the spring season as well. This country is way to huge to get rid of the draft. America is different, and college socceer will get bigger. With college soccer rise, we will see more money in the game, More money means NCAA will change their rules.
disagree Brolo.
camjam had THE post in this looooooong wordy thread, and he only used like 10 words
LA Galaxy would not be where they are without the draft.
I read these two sentences:
"The best young players aren't coming out of college now anyway. They are coming out of academies."
You couldn't be more wrong. While it's true that a couple of top talents like Zardes and Trapp were claimed as Homegrowns, they are very much coming out of the collegiate system, Whatever MLS would like to believe about the potential of he Academy system, the players coming out of it are not ready for prime time.
So, they go to college — and then, it's their choice. Sign a Homegrown deal (assuming it's offered), or hope for another team to take them in the draft (or hope a foreign team comes calling).
The draft doesn't come at the expense of any of the European things you want. Development academies exist and homegrown contracts allow those players to go directly to those teams, to those players such as Josh Gatt who you mention who do not live near an MLS team they are allowed to play for an MLS team instead of the Detroit whatevers.
For players who make the decision to play in college (which, I think according to your theory of rationalization is pretty rational that they would want to have an education to fall back on in case the whole playing thing doesn't work out) it is an efficient way to allocate them to teams in a way conducive with the league's goal of making sure there is not a permanent underclass which stifles interest and development, both against the interest of the national team.
Your Salgado example is a lazy one, he played a lot last year before he got injured but beyond that there are numerous examples of Homegrown players languishing and eventually being cut without ever getting a chance to play, and basically every other American sport shows that playing in a different city has little effect on anything.
Moreover, I don't even know what you are advocating-do away with the draft and…..it's not like doing away with the draft will change the fact there aren't MLS teams in scores of cities, seems like having a means to allow cheap players to enter the league to help parity isn't a bad thing.
None of those other leagues you mentioned are in the US. Everything MLS does that is contrary to the rest of the world(salary cap, draft) were set up out of necessity to help it survive in a country where several other sports are more popular and more widely accepted. The simple fact is that if MLS had structured itself from the beginning in the manner of European leagues, it would have folded by now and we wouldnt even have a top flight pro league. Now, as the league grows financialy and in popularity, will it eventually try to adpot the things that make football popular around the world? Sure. But not at the expense of the league not being able to sustain itself and fold. Football is popular enough in most parts of the world that owners are willing to operate in massive debt. Not the case in this country.
like it or not, the draft has been necessary for the mls. the "sacrifice" is not as dramatic as you make it out to be. mls is growing rapidly, but to have been expecting them to have been relying only on academies to develop their own players is just unreasonable. it is going in that direction, which i think everyone is happy to see, but even then there will be a place for the draft. your ignorance of the college system is a little baffling. especially since it has produces some pretty good players.
it's really not worth arguing with you guys. You are so ignorant about the global game.
I have much better things to do with my time.
Hahaha all your arguements are refuted so you use the ignorant card. Priceless
Call it what you may but the NFL makes buckets of money and MLS has been steadily growing, even building stadiums and expanding teams during an awful recession. There's nothing wrong with following a good model that works so well.
I've always found it ironic that eventhough Americans are the most capitalistic of societies our sports leagues are way more socially fair and democratic than other countries sports leagues and one major reason is a draft. It allows sucky teams to get a star and change their fortunes without having to have a rich foreign owners taking over and throwing gobs of money at a team.
…and playoffs, conferences, and All-Star games are other things that we got right.
Eurosnobs will be Eurosnobs.
ok how many more years do we have to give ya? How long do you need for the NFL model for work for MLS and our national side? The rest of the world must be really stupid for not following the NFL model. What are they thinking? They should shut down all those academies right now, force all those little Wayne Rooney wannabes to enter college and then get drafted. Lets hope that little Wayne Rooney wannabe gets drafted by Swansea City so he can start his career in Wales. Then we could say to them "hey, we got you guys beat..listen to this…we made our #1 pick,a 17 year old kid form Texas, start his pro career in Vancouver!" "Yeah she shoved his ass off 2000 miles to a whole different culture! haha!!"
oh Henry. Ignorance?
the NFL does not have academies.
College soccer in America means a draft is part of the equation here.
In America, soccer is competing financially with football (college AND pro), basketball (college AND pro), baseball and more for the $$$…financial stability IS the first course of business for MLS OR there is no league here.
Nothing wrong with how other countries do it for themselves, but we get our sports landscape pretty well here.
And is it working? Look at all the new soccer specific stadiums, the improved play, the increased attendance, etc.
ciao Henry 🙂
Henry… you're rapidly establishing yourself as a troll that nobody likes. A word of advice… pick a new screen name and start being less of a douche.
The Soccerist
You know, with skyrocketing payrolls in New York and LA (not to mention Toronto) MLS teams survive on the "bargains" they get at the draft. Instead of buying expensive players on international markets, they can groom younger talent into quality contributors.
There's very little evidence that money buys good teams in MLS-LA has done well under Bruce Arena's tutelage and NY must wish they had him back – who else fits into that boat though? Now think about KC and San Jose. Which team would you rather be right now?
I have been saying for some time now that you are overrating Kemp.
Would've thought Jimmy Nealis would come first, no? Covered him all season for the Georgetown paper, very impressive attacking fullback
Sounds like Manneh, Alvarez, and Farrell are going to be off the board quickly.
Turd Bradley
Its clear you next to nothing about American Soccer, not once did you mention the ussf developmental academy system which is still very young in the big scheme of things. Also the pure size of the country creates challenges. Its not hard for Japan to get all top players playing against all the other top players because the country is so small. Same with almost all European countries.
Please never coach a day in your life for the sake of our kids.

Man the EPL is getting boring. I am ready for some MLS action!!!!!!!
The biggest problem with watching the EPL is the giant vs minnow matches. They aren't fun. Either the minnows bunker in and it's 0-0 or 1-0. Or they try to play and are crushed. Those aren't fun games to watch for the neutral fan. I like the MLS that most games are competitive and that any number of teams can win the league. As opposed to most Euopean leagues.
MLS is growing and is financial sound, as opposed to most other leagues. It may not be growing as fast as some like but to bad.
manny rivademar
I am relatively new to soccer. At first I saw a wide gulf of play between the EPL, La Liga, the ItaLian league vs. MLS. Lately, that has changed alot. The style of play in the MLS has gotten extreemly better. I feel the draft has a lot to do with this. It affords parity to teams that are starting or are weak to begin with. The MLS obviously has a system that works although the maxium that each team can pay I feel should be raised. Still, look at what the Dynamo have been able to do with their budget and compare that to N.Y. or L.A. I think the draft works and the MLS and soccer in general is growing in popularity in the U.S.
comment deleted by moderator? can you please email me why? First time that's happened to me and I'd like to understand what I did.
Thank you

Beware of energy hogs
Occupant behavior can make the difference between an efficient house and a wasteful one. Notorious energy hogs include plasma TVs, old refrigerators or freezers, ice-makers, and dehumidifiers. And don't overlook sneaky items like DVRs, always-on computer and entertainment equipment, etc.
Re: Beware of energy hogsEric — January 11, 2013
Consider every plug-in device that is on 24x7 (smoke detectors, central vac, battery chargers, clocks, ...) sucks about 5W or $5/yr. I've not found old fridges bad. My 20 year old all-fridge only uses about 30% more energy than a modern all fridge. My 20 year old fridge and freezer use the same power as most "energy star" fridges at the time did. Now we use an upright freezer converted to a fridge - with 1/2 of the energy draw of the best energy star fridge all done for the cost of a $30 thermostat. Pay particular attention to the vampire/standby energy use of appliances at purchase time. EU spec ones are 1W or less. Microwave ovens are 2W to 10W - when not being used and that power draw will exceed, over a year, the actual power used to heat foods.
What's can a family of 4 do with a 1991 vintage home? We're around $35/mo electricity, $400/yr in gas for heating and around 3.5 cu-meters of water per year. My experience is that changing your habits will make things like solar/on-demand water heaters uneconomical. We spend $80/yr (19 gallon electric water tank) heating water ($20/yr of that is keeping the tank warm). Paying $2500 for a solar water heater AND then still needing to save perhaps $50 per year is insane.
Random Bits
Before installing solar panels, get a home energy audit to find out where you're wasting the most energy. Your house will be more comfortable if you seal leaks and add more insulation, so don't just slap solar panels on the roof without curbing energy use.

Twenty-five plane passengers have been hurt after their aircraft hit serious turbulence, including one person who hit the cabin roof so hard it left a hole in the overhead locker.
At least two people are being treated for serious injuries after this incident on board South African Airways flight 286, as it travelled from Johannedburg to Hong Kong this morning.
The South China Morning Post said many had been left with head and neck injuries after several minutes of turbulence over Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, sent them flying up out of their seats.
Passenger David Mkumbuje told the paper: "It was like the end of the world."
Brian Heuer added: "Most of the injured hit their heads on the roof of the cabin."
Photographs from inside the plane showed luggage, blankets, pillows and food strewn around the cabin, and one passenger in his seat wearing a neck brace.
The flight later landed at Chek Lap Kok Airport in Hong Kong, where it was greeted by dozens of emergency vehicles and crews to treat those injured.
Twenty people - 17 passengers and three crew members - were taken to hospital, including the two men suffering from serious injuries. One is now being treated for neck injuries.

Female garda knocked out at water charges protest
A simultaneous demonstration involving protesters against water charges and the Greek situation descended into chaos yesterday outside Leinster House.
A large garda presence was called in to assist after members of the Oireachtas were abused and threatened as they left Leinster House.
One of those who was the subject of abuse was former minister Alan Shatter, who condemned the actions of the protesters and criticised the policing of the protest.
"I had abuse and insults hurled at me. My car was thumped and kicked by some protesters. It was a clear example of thuggery," the Fine Gael TD told the Irish Independent.
There were dramatic scenes after two Labour senators - Mary Moran and Denis Landy - were forced to abandon their vehicles on Kildare Street.
As tensions flared between Gardai and protesters traffic cones and glass bottles were hurled by certain members of the group.
Gardai confirmed a female member of the force was knocked out by a missile, believed to be a traffic cone. She was brought to St James's Hospital for treatment with non-life threatening injuries.
One man was arrested and later charged with public order offences. He is due to appear before Dublin District Court later this month.
Gardai at the scene called for reinforcements and up to 40 members of the force were at the scene.

Basic Service Management is now available
Written by the IT Skeptic!!
This book is about how to run services, in any organisation, in any industry. It describes the basics, the core stuff, in realistic pragmatic terms. And it is pragmatically brief - we kept it to 50 paperback pages.
Note: this is the original "dead elephant" post from back in 2006. My thinking about CMDB has matured since then. Please see the articles (and book) in the sidebar of this article for a more complete picture of how I now see CMDB, and a much wider range of ideas why CMDB or CMS is - for most organisations - a bad idea.
This article has been podcast
CMDB can't be done. Not as ITIL defines it. At least not with a justifiable return on the investment of doing it - it is such an enormous undertaking that any organisation attempting it is going to burn money on an irresponsible scale. The truth about CMDB is no secret. It is a "dead elephant": a great putrescence in the corner of the room that everyone studiously ignores, stepping around it and ignoring the stench, because life will be so much simpler if they do not acknowledge the obvious.

Courage Reborn
The Albany Civil Rights Institute is a museum and research center in Albany, Georgia, that tells the story of the civil rights movement in southwest Georgia. Consisting of the Old Mount Zion church, site of one of the first mass meetings of the Albany Movement, and a 12,315 square foot museum space adjacent to the church, ACRI is uniquely able to bring together community members, movement veterans, historians and visitors to discover, record and celebrate the rich history of the southwest Georgia civil rights struggle.
ACRI consists of exhibit space packed with interactive exhibits, a large multipurpose room, an outdoor garden facility, a digital oral history database, a resource library and state-of-the-art audio and visual technology. By displaying the reality of life in southwest Georgia in the runup to the modern civil rights movement and then immersing visitors in the culture and conflicts of the 1960s, ACRI allows visitors to experience the evolution of everyday citizens into the courageous activists of the Albany Movement.
Community leaders and the ACRI board of directors have come together to help the Institute secure the state-of-the-art resources it needs to pursue its mission. The museum space is made possible by support from the Albany City Commission, the Mt. Zion Baptist Church and generous donors in Albany and from around the country.
Museums are keepers of culture and agents of change. ACRI embodies this principle through programs for youth and adults, emphasizing the potential for ordinary citizens to become effective change agents.
