I think the Env touch will still beat this.

the env touch has many problems i think the rogue will outsell the env touch and give lg a run for their money

I'm very wary of buying any Samsung after their rather rough history. Juke, Glyde, Sway...the last good phone they put out was the A930 which was mid level and very reliable, but nothing fancy by any means. LG / RIM all the way.

Correction, last good normal phone for VZW... Samsung isn't the No. 2 cellphone provider becuase their VZW devices suck. They make a good product. I had an i730 for 2 years... not a single problem.

Your mama sucks.
24. pittwrestler125 (Posts: 3; Member since: 27 Sep 2009)
the alias 2 was a pretty good phone and it was a normal phone. Samsung is beginning to make better quality phones compared to what they have made in the past.
5. aeiouphone (Posts: 10; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
Sorry forgot about the Alias/Alias2 as well...decent phones.

This is a very cool phone IMO. I have had a chance to handle it and I will say in terms of feel and design of the keyboard and screen it reminds me alot of the PCD XV6800 (but a lot slimmer). The back of the phone has got a rough feel to it somewhat like the Venus and UI will be a lot more familiar to Omnia users than anyone who owns a Glyde or similiar device. This was a job well done by Samsung
8. EraserXIV (Posts: 38; Member since: 16 Jul 2009)
@VZWProductTestr I'm pretty excited for this phone, but I'm not sure if I should hold out for the Chocolate Touch. One particular thing about the Chocolate Touch that I'm interested in is the WiFi and the Flash UI. As far as you know, will the Chocolate Touch keep the WiFi and Flash UI from the BL40, or will it be stripped from the device? Also, do you have any info on the Chocolate Touch like approximate release date? I'm not sure how much longer I can wait to upgrade!
10. EraserXIV (Posts: 38; Member since: 16 Jul 2009)
Oh yeah and I'm also interested in the standalone Google Maps GPS app that I saw in the video for the BL40, will that be kept or will GPS be locked down to VZW Navigator like most other phones? Also, how does the Rogue compare in thickness to the enV Touch?
12. VZWProductTestr (Posts: 56; Member since: 03 Jul 2009)
flash will remain on the phone. Wifi is unfortunately still being debated (believe you me, I have been a big proponent of keeping it). We are shooting for a early November launch. thanks
13. VZWProductTestr (Posts: 56; Member since: 03 Jul 2009)
Google Maps will be available from the VCAST app store. GPS will be unlocked but only for VCAST app purchases ( believe it or not, many of the apps are one time purchases and not subscriptions)
14. VZWProductTestr (Posts: 56; Member since: 03 Jul 2009)
Oh and the Rogue will be slightly thicker than the Touch. I did send some side by side pictures to PhoneArena of the Rogue next to the Glyde so I am sure those will go up soon.
15. EraserXIV (Posts: 38; Member since: 16 Jul 2009)
Whoa thanks man for all that info! I wasn't expecting you to answer all my questions, you've been surprisingly helpful! Oh and also, will the Rogue also feature the VCAST app store with the unlocked GPS for google maps? I've heard indications that the VCAST app store is only for smartphones... does that mean the Chocolate Touch will debut as a smartphone (and therefore require the $30 a month data plan)?
16. VZWProductTestr (Posts: 56; Member since: 03 Jul 2009)
Glad to be of service. VCAST app store will be available on the Rogue but NOT at launch. The app store will be released later on and the Rogue will be able to do over the air software flashes for this. Google Maps will be a part of this. VCAST app store will NOT be available for Smartphones and will only be available for phones that run "Dashboard". Nor the Chocolate Touch or Rogue will be classified as a smartphone.
17. VZWProductTestr (Posts: 56; Member since: 03 Jul 2009)
Also, the Rogue layout is very similiar to the XV6800 Smartphone in terms of device and screen size, and the keyboard is almost identical. But its not nearly as bulky
23. jjyhur (Posts: 1; Member since: 18 Sep 2009)
Hi I had a few questions. What exactly does it mean the vcast app store will not be available at launch? i just got the samsung rogue today and was upset to learn that google maps does not work. will google maps definitely be available on the samsung rogue? If so, how soon?
11. souleater93 (Posts: 86; Member since: 20 Mar 2009)
i wish it was a little slimmer and came in a better color choice or can change the back cover like the rumor 2.
18. tripleh1996 (Posts: 8; Member since: 11 Jul 2009)
looks really cool, the camera better be as good as the env touch's
19. TorCoolguy (Posts: 1; Member since: 04 Aug 2009)
ProductTester, I know you probably have to keep this classified or something, but in a few weeks I should be up for a new phone, and I really want to like this phone and be able to get it because I really wanted the first one. But on the price issue..is this going to be like when the Blackberry Storm came out with a 299.99 price or be around the EnV 3 which is 79.99 with the 2-year contract? Because i'm looking for a touch screen phone, but which one out right now (Dare, Voyager even though I think it may be near it's end, EnV Touch, Versa) would you suggest? Or maybe something like the new Alias 2?
26. pittwrestler125 (Posts: 3; Member since: 27 Sep 2009)
ive had the alias 2 and it was a great phone loved how the keys changed depending on what you were in. It is def a good phone for the money only thing i didnt like was no flash on the camera that was the only complaint i had with it
20. FizzyWizzyZOw (Posts: 24; Member since: 17 Aug 2009)
Will the rogue have a "virtual" keyboard? What do you think will be the price will be around??
21. FizzyWizzyZOw (Posts: 24; Member since: 17 Aug 2009)
WAIT, why on the upcoming phones, the rogue is not at the top any more? Will it still be out by august?!
22. philsphan123 (Posts: 1; Member since: 21 Aug 2009)
ThiS phone looks great! Is the touchscreen resistive or compulsive??? If the screen size is bigger than the env touch than I'm buying this phone!!

Yanks get better of Saunders in rematch
Angels lefty struggles in second showdown with Bombers
By Tim Britton / MLB.com
Saunders turned in the Angels' best start of this American League Championship Series in Game 2, when he limited the Yankees to two runs in seven innings in Los Angeles' eventual 4-3, 13-inning loss. With his team facing elimination in Sunday night's Game 6, Saunders couldn't conjure up the same magic.The left-hander struggled to find the strike zone and couldn't escape the fourth inning, allowing three earned runs on seven hits and five walks in 3 1/3 frames. The Angels were unable to overcome the 3-1 deficit in the game or the ALCS, falling to the Yankees, 5-2, in Game 6. "I thought I made some good pitches when I needed to," Saunders said. "Obviously I fell behind more than I wanted to. But I made some good pitches, and they found a hole. They hit some pretty good pitches." Saunders did indeed spend most of the night behind in the count. He started 15 of the 22 batters he faced with ball one and went to three-ball counts seven times in all. His five walks were the most he'd surrendered since mid-July.
|3 1/3
Even with his control problems, Saunders managed to keep the Yankees off the scoreboard through the first three innings. He retired Jorge Posada in the first with two men on before inducing a groundout from Johnny Damon with the bases loaded in the second.It all came unraveling for Saunders, however, against the bottom of the Yankees' order in the fourth, starting with a leadoff walk to Robinson Cano. Saunders was ahead in that count 1-and-2 before missing with three straight. Nick Swisher followed with a single to left and, after a Melky Cabrera sacrifice, Saunders lost an eight-pitch battle with Derek Jeter, walking the shortstop to load the bases. Damon came through this time with a two-run single, and Saunders walked in the third run of the inning on a close 3-1 pitch to Alex Rodriguez. "If I had thrown more strikes earlier on, I might have gotten that pitch," Saunders said. "I tried to make the perfect pitch, and just didn't make it." Saunders was lifted after the walk to Rodriguez, having allowed a dozen baserunners while recording just 10 outs. "He battled," manager Mike Scioscia said. "There were a lot of counts that he didn't quite get in his favor, but he made some pitches to get out of some innings early. "He gave it everything he had out there on the mound tonight." It's not as if Saunders didn't labor a little with his command in Game 2, when he threw 57 of his 105 pitches for strikes. Whereas in that game he was able to extricate himself from three jams with double plays, this time the Yankee bats found the vacant areas in the Angels' infield. Swisher's one-out single in the fourth and an infield hit for Mark Teixeira later in that frame catalyzed and prolonged the New York rally.
"You've got to be aggressive in the strike zone and you've got to throw strikes. That was tough for me tonight," Saunders said. "It was a battle with the command, and I got behind a lot of guys, and when I did make a good pitch, they found a hole."Forty-one of Saunders' 83 pitches on Sunday night were out of the strike zone, and his struggles illustrate just how hard it is to work through the New York batting order. The Yankees' combination of patience and power applies constant pressure on pitchers to try to be too perfect on the hill. It's a fatiguing experience for pitchers -- one that caught up to Saunders in that fourth inning against Cano and Rodriguez, in particular. It's also one of the main reasons the Yankees are headed to the World Series. "You have to tip your cap to their team," Saunders said. "We had a really good squad this year, and I thought our chances were good. We just came up short to a real good team."

Harry Potter is the best damn story ever written. There's no denying it.
I'm a senior in high school who's probably read the entire series combined over 100 times. I stumbled upon the fanfiction world shortly after HBP came out and wow, there's been no turning back. There's so much talent out there and we all owe it to JKR for allowing us to explore such a great world. I think, as fanfiction writers, we are obliged to write the best we can and IN THE SPIRIT OF THE BOOKS. i hate it when some authors take such a ridiculous angle to whatever storyline. JKR deserves all the respect in the world. Let's uphold that.
MuggleNet is the best. To all the authors on this site, i salute you for such great works. May Harry Potter live forever.

Teaching old dogs new frameworks
Over the last few months more of my project work has been in web-based technologies. My background is in database and back-end software development so in the past I never really had much opportunity to practise web development. Sure I could create valid HTML and CSS and I could explain what AJAX was and how it worked, but my practical experience was little more than "Hello World" kind of code, which is quickly written and forgotten.
Much of my professional programming life has been centered around SQL and shell scripting both of which are mature and very stable languages. I had reached a level of mastery where I could think in the language and pretty accurately estimate in advance how a solution would ultimately look and how long it would take to build it. My familiarity is such that I haven't needed to look at language references for a very long time and I had experienced most optimisation tricks so that I was pretty much writing them in from the beginning.
This degree of specialisation in technology is very desirable. It takes years to experience a wide enough range of challenges to force you to practise all the subtleties of your craft. I was extremely comfortable and able to solve pretty much every development task thrown at me.
I started seeing every challenge as being solvable in the same way and my specialisation was predetermining the technology used, design approach and how the system would behave to conform to my language comfort. This is not always a bad thing - at the end of the day you want to build the best system you can with high degrees of certainty. However the downside was the growing gap between my understanding of "my" technology and the increasing lack of understanding about the rest of the software ecology. I unintentionally designed solutions to support my world view exclusively.
I decided to take the plunge and throw myself into a framework (Ruby on Rails) which I had heard a lot about but had mostly dismissed. More importantly was that the emphasis of my effort would be focused more on the front and middle end platforms that are more outside of my comfort zone.
This is not about which language is best. It isn't even about which platform is best. It's about evaluating the right tool for the right job. In my reading, as I was learning the new languages and approaches it was difficult to separate the ideology and fan-boyism and letting the technology speak for itself.
More than once I saw the argument that a single development framework was desirable to abstract away the complexity and burden from the developer to have to learn other technologies, for example, SQL.
This is backwards. There are many good reasons to take away complexity and burden from your developers, but it should not involve "protecting" them from understanding underlying technologies and principles.
Writing efficient SQL is a fundamentally different thought process to procedural or functional programming, it's not difficult, just different. I fear this kind of silver-bullet thinking when applied to technology ultimately punishes the developers in the trenches when the difference between ideals of the framework and actual problems becomes evident.
I cannot deny the power of these frameworks. Once I started to trust the framework and to understand the design decisions behind their choices, it was really quite liberating to break with my personal development traditions and be challenged to see with new eyes. In my specialisation, I had created as many bad habits as I had good, and the new learning enabled me to re-evaluate which was which.
There are many good reasons for corporate development standards and the technology stack is one of the first big questions that needs to be decided, and then supported, vigorously. I wonder how a medium to large business which has already made investment in certain technologies and skills can periodically find points of reflection, where even if they stick with their investment, they can still get the benefits of new approaches and renewal.
I don't have any answers, the business has to be responsible and shouldn't flirt with every new technology but maybe there might be room for some experimentation?
Technology does not stand still and we need to periodically let ourselves be exposed to new techniques. In a recent chat with a university lecturer I was informed their undergraduates will be taught Python first, then other languages as needed. It is logical therefore that this grounding in Python will lend itself to certain frameworks, so increasingly the skill pool will tend towards this world view. You may find yourself being moved in this direction either by talent or by acquisition.
So a few months on, I have achieved competence with ruby, javascript and jquery. Rails and I may send each other Christmas cards but it might be a while before we are best friends. Most importantly I feel that I have restored some balance to my software development approach and hope that the learned insights into the various strengths and weaknesses of each tool and platform will benefit the products and services that I work on.
Have you recently had a skill refresh? When does specialisation become a weakness?

Yanks dealt fifth straight loss in Anaheim
ANAHEIM -- Yankees manager Joe Girardi comes to the ballpark every day with the belief that his offense is going to break out of its funk.
While Girardi held that belief entering Saturday's contest, he will have to wait at least one more day for it to come to fruition as the Yankees lost, 6-2, to the Angels at Angel Stadium.Full Game Coverage
ANAHEIM -- Yankees manager Joe Girardi comes to the ballpark every day with the belief that his offense is going to break out of its funk.
While Girardi held that belief entering Saturday's contest, he will have to wait at least one more day for it to come to fruition as the Yankees lost, 6-2, to the Angels at Angel Stadium.Full Game Coverage
Not only did the Yankees lose their fifth straight game -- tying their longest losing streak of the season -- but cleanup hitter and first baseman Mark Teixeira left the game in the middle of the fourth inning with an aggravated right wrist.
Teixeira will not be with the team for the series finale on Sunday as he is heading to New York to be evaluated by team physician Christopher Ahmad.
"I think he just doesn't feel that he has the whip he normally has hitting left-handed," Girardi said.
The switch-hitter is batting just .151 this season, but his loss would be tough on a lineup already missing Francisco Cervelli, Curtis Granderson, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Kevin Youkilis.
"You're taking a switch-hitter out of the middle of your lineup," Girardi said. "That's hard to lose."
While the Yankees are certainly not playing with their best lineup, they are not depleted of talent.
"There's no doubt they're banged up, but if you look at what we talked about, they're pitching well, they're holding leads, and when you do that, you're still going to be able to compete and contend and they're doing that," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "They're doing a terrific job of that. They're a tough club."
The Yankees scored a pair of runs in the third inning when three straight batters collected two-out hits.
Chris Stewart started the rally with a single, Brett Gardner drove him in with a triple off the right-field wall and Jayson Nix's RBI single gave the Yankees a 2-1 lead.
However, the Yankees were unable to sustain any momentum and squandered opportunities late in the game, something that has become an all too common theme on the West Coast trip.
"It seems like we've had a few of those on this road trip," Girardi said. "Tomorrow's a new day, we've got to find a way to win a game."
Ichiro Suzuki led off the seventh with a bunt single, stole second and third, but with a runner on third and none out, the Yankees -- 4-for-24 with runners in scoring over the past four games -- were unable to tie the game.
After Hanson fanned Thomas Neal, left-handed reliever Scott Downs was brought in to face Reid Brignac, who struck out. Then right-hander Michael Kohn came in and fanned Stewart.
"They got hits with guys on, we didn't," Stewart said. "That's the bottom line."
Right-hander David Phelps allowed four runs in six-plus innings, which Girardi called "pretty good." However, Phelps struggled against Erick Aybar and was not pleased with his performance.
"That's one of the worst jobs I've done all year managing a baseball game," Phelps said. "Didn't pitch well today."
The Angels shortstop gave the Angels a 1-0 lead with a home run to right field -- the first home run allowed by Phelps in his last 34 1/3 innings of work -- in the second. Aybar also gave the Angels a 3-2 lead with an RBI single in the sixth and finished 2-for-4.
"They gave me a lead and I gave it right back," Phelps said. "Had a chance to go out in the seventh, threw two pitches and gave up a hit. That's not going to get it done."
After Phelps gave up a single to Peter Bourjos to lead off the seventh, Shawn Kelley came in, but four of the first five batters he faced reached base as the Angels padded their lead with a couple of runs.
While the Yankees wait to hear word on the severity of Teixeira's injury, they have one game left of their 10-game road trip and hope to use it as a springboard to something positive.
"The whole season you're going to go through highs and lows, we're in a low right now, but we're going to turn it around. I have not doubt in that," Phelps said. "I have faith in all the guys that we are going to go out and get the job done tomorrow."

Investigators with the county coroner's officer were trying Tuesday to reach the families of both a man and a woman found dead inside a Newhall home this week.
The bodies of a 51-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman, both of Newhall, were found inside the studio apartment of a home on Heritage Lane on the corner of Maple Street around 3 p.m. Monday.
"We're still trying to reach the next of kin for both these people," Lt. Fred Corral of the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner said Tuesday.
The names of the dead would not be released until family could be contacted.
A post-mortem examination of both bodies is scheduled for Wednesday, Corral said. Causes of death had yet to be determined.
Landlord Leonard Miller found both bodies on the floor of the apartment located at the rear of his house. He made the discovery, he said, when he visited the home to find out if his tenant was OK.
The last time he and neighbors say they saw the tenant was a week ago.
Deputies of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station said the bodies had been there a while.
Miller's tenant moved into the wholly-contained studio apartment in February 2010.
The man, according to Miller, worked fixing motorcycles and off-road vehicles in Newhall but was laid off from the repair shop around the time he moved in.
The shop has since gone out of business.
A man who works at a convenience store near the boarded-up shop said he saw the man two weeks ago when he bought some beer.
"He came in with his girlfriend and introduced me to her," he said. "He said they were going to get married."
Detectives Wayne Holston and Karen Shonka of the Sheriff's Department Homicide Bureau are investigating the deaths.

Atlanta, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - Kole Calhoun's go-ahead single sparked a five-run 13th inning as the LA Angels of Anaheim topped the Atlanta Braves, 11-6, in the middle installment of a three-game set on Saturday.
With the game tied at six apiece in the 13th inning, Erick Aybar singled, C.J. Wilson walked and Chris Iannetta was hit by a pitch to load the bases off David Hale (2-1). After John McDonald popped up, B.J. Upton dove and missed Calhoun's liner in center which drove in Aybar.
Trout's two-run double down the left-field line ended Hale's outing and Albert Pujols greeted Shae Simmons with a two-run single to account for the final score.
"We never quit, they never quit," said Trout. "You've got to give them props. They scored four runs and put pressure on us. We kept battling, put ourselves in a good position and we won the game."
Trout and Pujols both had three hits, a home run, four RBI and two runs scored for the Angels, who have won six of their last eight. Aybar went 4-for-6 and scored twice.
Fernando Salas (4-0) allowed just one hit during the 11th and 12th innings to earn the win. Starter Garrett Richards tossed six innings of scoreless baseball, allowing just four hits and three walks while striking out a career- high 10 batters.
Jason Heyward and B.J. Upton both drove in two runs apiece and Evan Gattis homered among his three hits for Atlanta, which has lost three of its last four.
"We had our chances to get the win," said Braves catcher Gerald Laird. "It was an excellent effort coming back in the ninth inning. We battled tonight."
The Braves scored four in the ninth to send the game into extra innings. Andrelton Simmons and pinch-hitter Ryan Doumit both singled off Ernesto Frieri to open the frame. Heyward's single scored Simmons from second. Upton's triple to center got the Braves within one before Freddie Freeman's ground-rule double to center tied the game.
Pujols led off the top of the 10th with a double off Craig Kimbrel and came home on Josh Hamilton's single to left.
Cam Bedrosian started the 10th for the Angels and was greeted by a base hit up the middle from Tommy La Stella. La Stella moved to second on a balk. Simmons grounded out and pinch-hitter Ramiro Pena reached on an infield single before Heyward's bloop single into left tied the game at six.
Two batters later, Freeman was intentionally walked to load the bases. Justin Upton's fly ball to right was caught by a diving Calhoun to keep the game tied.
The Angels opened the scoring in the fourth. Calhoun singled, moved up to second on a wild pitch, took third on Trout's single to left and raced home on Pujols' sacrifice fly to right.
Trout crushed his 13th homer of the year into the left-field seats and on the very next pitch, Pujols sent a blast of his own to left to give the Angels a 3-0 advantage in the sixth.
The Angels tacked on a run in both the seventh and eight innings. Aybar and David Freese both singled off Floyd and Luis Avilan gave up a two-out walk to Calhoun to load the bases. Trout worked a bases-loaded walk off Anthony Varvaro to make it a 4-0 game.
In the eighth, Kendrick singled and ran to third after B.J. Upton misplayed the ball in center. Aybar brought him home with an RBI single, but was thrown out at second on the play.
Gattis got the Braves on the board in the eight after connecting on a first- pitch sinker to center for his 15th blast of the season.
Game Notes
Trout extended his hitting streak to nine games and 16 straight interleague contests ... Gattis has hit in 14 straight games ... Angels manager Mike Scioscia was not with the team after attending the funeral of his former Dodger teammate and 1990 Cy Young winner Bob Welch. Bench coach Dino Ebel took his place ... The Angels now lead the all-time series 6-5 ... This game took four hours and 55 minutes to end. It was the longest contest of the season for both teams ... Justin Upton finished 0-for-7 ... The Braves are now 1-7 in interleague play this season.


text: A property i service has a parking lot in the back side and a ditch at the back of it (i will get a picture soon of it to better explain). But hillside of the parking lot is getting washed out and has gotten close to washing out the corner of the parking lot, the owner asked me if i could do that and i said i would look into it for him. He said he just wants a nice layer of rip rap over the whole hillside and where its getting close to the parking lot. I was wondering how would you go about charging for that i mean of course materials+delivery+labor/install but i honestly have no idea how long it may take. I feel like if I had someone at the truck parked near the hillside he could toss me rocks and i lay them pretty quickly, but not sure. Thanks for any and all the help I may get.

I really like it here with Seattle. I was raised in Western Canada and the Mariners were always the team I followed most. As a free agent this winter, I had six or seven offers. I thought this team was going in the right direction and had a few holes in their bullpen that I could help fill. It worked out well for me.
It's really nice to work so close to my home. The flight from Calgary to Seattle is about an hour, and my wife really likes that compared to the long flights to and from Atlanta and Cincinnati, the two places I played before. Being in close proximity to home gives my family -- my parents, my sisters -- the ability to come down and watch games more often. It makes things much more convenient.
I'm also in my first season in the American League. For me, as a bullpen guy who generally comes into a game late, it's not that big an adjustment. Of course, I have to face designated hitters now, but big-league hitters are big-league hitters. I'm trying to learn some new hitters over here now, but with the turnover in baseball, it's not that big a deal.
I've grown very comfortable in that late inning, setup role. It's the job I've done the last four years now. I'm used to coming in the seventh, eighth or ninth innings and I'm up for whatever they need me to do. It's a fun role and I get a lot of enjoyment from it.
Earlier in my career, I was a starter and I would consider going back to it in the future. But I enjoy the bullpen. As long as I'm pitching, that's what's important to me. There are benefits to both, but to be in the big leagues and to have the chance to pitch every night is pretty special.
Really, I'm thrilled to be healthy now. It was a tough winter rehabbing following elbow surgery. I needed the entire Spring Training to get ready. Usually I'm at Spring Training and I can't wait for the season to get going. This year, I needed the time to get my arm ready. But I feel real good now.
Being healthy makes a big difference. I was worried last year. My hand would go numb while I was pitching. You can't pitch like that. I had to get it figured out and I had to get it done. The surgery proved to be the best-case scenario for me. I'm thankful that it worked out.
After spending his first six seasons in the National League split between Cincinnati and Atlanta, right-handed reliever Chris Reitsma signed a free agent contract with the Mariners in January. Retuning to the mound this past spring following a serious elbow injury last year that ultimately required surgery, Reitsma has a 1.42 ERA over his first seven games with his new team.

The Rivals.com analysts tackle current topics in the recruiting world in a roundtable format.
Most high school seasons are crossing into the second half now. Who has
impressed you the most?
Mike Farrell, National: I'd say I was most impressed with
Jonathan Allen when I saw him in person, but I will say his teammate and another
national top 50 player,
Ryan Burns, also impressed. I think Burns has
the best release and mechanics I have seen on any quarterback this season, he is
big and can move and he has the look of a guy who could be playing on Sundays
down the road. It will be a very tough transition from running a wing offense in
high school to a pro-style offense at Stanford, but in a few years we
could be talking about him as a first rounder if all works out.
Rob Cassidy, West:
I've seen Phoenix Mountain Pointe receiver/safety Jalen Brown in person
three times now. Each time, I leave more impressed with his skill set. As the
sample size grows, I become more convinced that Brown is an elite-level
prospect. He routinely makes plays on both sides of the ball and has a knack for
the big moment. He always seems to be standing at the center of big moments and
has the size and speed necessary for his game to translate to the next level. If
Brown is not the top 2014 player in the Arizona, he's certainly No. 2.
Kynon Codrington, Southeast: I have to say Bradenton (Fla.) Manatee
quarterback Cord Sandberg is the best player I've seen so far. Sandberg
is natural winner and makes everyone around him better. His team beat a pair of
formidable foes in Miramar (Fla.) and Miami (Fla.) Central this month and their
schedule is one of the best in the nation. The Mississippi State commit
has a good arm and nice touch. He is an ideal fit for the spread offense and I
think he will be impact player when he arrives in Starkville.
Adam Gorney, West: When I saw him Friday night, West Hills (Calif.)
Chaminade running back Terrell Newby proved with four touchdowns that
he's one of the best backs in the West.
The four-star prospect is the second-best back in the state and he's definitely
worthy of that recognition. He can run between the tackles but Newby is best
when he escapes to the outside and then uses his outstanding burst to get to the
second level.
Plus, Newby can come out of the backfield and catch the ball evidenced by a nice
50-plus yard gain down the seam against Sherman Oaks Notre Dame. Newby has all
the skills to be special with the right blocking.
Josh Helmholdt, Midwest: The best player I have seen in 20-plus games
covered this year has been Crete-Monee (Ill.) wide receiver
Laquon Treadwell, already rated as the No. 1 wide receiver prospect in the nation.
We loved what we saw out of Treadwell at events like the Rivals100
Five-Star Challenge, The Opening and Gridiron Kings, but he may
have been even more impressive the night I covered him and he caught seven
passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns.
Jason Howell, Southwest: Without a doubt Shreveport (La.) Green Oaks
cornerback Tre'Davious White put together the best night I have seen so
far. He did it in so many ways too. He had some plays on defense, he put on a
show with his play on special teams, and he controlled the field on offense. It
did not just click into place right from the start, but when it did it was over.
White got it done.
Woody Wommack, Southeast: It's hard to argue with what
Thomas Tyner is doing out on the West Coast right now. There were a lot of
questions surrounding his ability to stay healthy coming into the year, and he
has responded with a dominant first half of the year. While the competition he's
facing isn't exactly great, the numbers he's putting up and the way he's doing
it is very impressive.
do you think is the most overrated factor in recruiting -- something the outside
world thinks matters to prospects when in reality it does not?
Mike Farrell, National: I'm going to be cynical here because it's in my
nature and say academics. This doesn't mean across the board, but I think the
majority of kids could care less about what academic reputation a school has,
what major a school has that they are interested in and they have trouble
thinking beyond football. That's what makes it great to cover kids who really
take the academic part of things seriously and don't just pick a team based on
the uniforms or facilities.
Rob Cassidy, West: This is the obvious response, and I'm not even sure if
most fans are fooled into thinking it matters. Still, every time a top-level
prospect tells me he's basing his decision primarily on "academics," my eyes
automatically roll. It's a nice thing to say. I'm sure it makes mom and dad very
proud of their child, but does anybody actually believe it? For better or worse,
big-time players are going to college to major in football. USC could
replace its teachers with hand-me-down Speak and Spells, and it would have next
to no impact on the top of its recruiting class. Kids want to win games, work
out in nice facilities with coaches they like, share a campus with pretty girls
and get to the NFL. The end.
There are exceptions, sure, but believing most high school stars are breaking
down course catalogues is naive. Now, let's talk about something important ...
like uniforms.
Kynon Codrington, Southeast: I think if I team loses a game with official
visitors on campus it's not as big of a deal as the outside world perceives.
More and more recruits eye the depth chart and early playing time as the biggest
factors in their recruitment. If they are on a visit and the team loses that
doesn't effect what the program has to offer.
Adam Gorney, West: This might sound odd but promised early playing time
is way overdone. These prospects are savvy enough to know nothing will be given
away for free and when coaches talk about guarantees to see the field early on
it could be seen as trite.
Recruits know how things work. They might not know everything but when they're
told that they'll definitely see the field right when they get on campus it's
almost like a "yeah, sure" response and it could turn some prospects off.
Josh Helmholdt, Midwest: The outcome of a particular game -- even if it
is one a prospect is attending. Atmosphere of that game matters. The vibe a
player gets while on campus matters, but if the team wins big, or loses, the
outcome does not matter. Prospects factor the future of a program into their
college decisions, not the present, so the final score of a big rivalry game or
a game the recruit is in the stands for has little to no effect on their final
decision. Recruits commit after seeing a team lose all the time.
Jason Howell, Southwest: After last week's loss to Kansas State
there were a lot of questions about how recruits in for Oklahoma's big
visit weekend react. Truth is most of the recruits did not mind. I'm going to
say a loss on a visit weekend does not matter as much to recruits as some think.
If it is a program on the rise, maybe it means more, but when you are talking
about Oklahoma, Florida State, Texas, USC, Ohio State
or a program that has shown in one way or another they are moving in the right
direction prospects are going to overlook it
Woody Wommack, Southeast: Uniforms. While most recruits and players enjoy
sporting new unis, I don't think there's ever going to be a top recruit who
commits to a school just because they have cool uniforms. Fans get excited every
time their school gets new uniforms and assume it's going to have an instant
impact on recruiting. But if every school has 4-5 variations that they break out
every season, does anyone really have an advantage?
Looking ahead to October, what's the best one-on-one prospect battle
looming in a future game?
Mike Farrell, National: I am looking forward to seeing four-star
linebacker Yannick Ngakoue from Washington (D.C.) Friendship Collegiate
Academy try to handle Paramus (N.J.) Paramus Catholic 2014 star
Jabrill Peppers who plays running back and defensive back for his team. Peppers is
a top five or 10 player nationally next year and Ngakoue is a heckuva athlete so it
should be a good matchup.
Rob Cassidy, West: They play very different positions, but it will be
interesting to watch Las Vegas Bishop Gorman, led by Arizona
quarterback commit Anu Solomon, take on a Centennial High defense
anchored by BYU-bound linebacker Trajan Pili, who is making a
push toward four-star status. The game itself probably won't be close. Gorman is
the much better team. Pill and Soloman will come face to face on a number of
occasions, though. Those moments will bring plenty of excitement regardless of
the score. The game will take place at Centennial on Oct. 19.
Kynon Codrington, Southeast: I'm looking forward to the October 10
match-up between Oakland Park (Fla.) Northeast wide receiver
Stacy Coley against Pompano Beach (Fla.) Ely defensive back
Rashard Robinson. Both players are ranked in the Rivals250 and this should be a
great battle. Robinson is the faster of the two, but Coley is a difference maker
on offense, defense and special teams.
Adam Gorney, West: Gardena Serra visits Los Angeles Cathedral in
mid-October and I'm really looking forward to that one.
LSU quarterback commit
Hayden Rettig has a lot of weapons
especially at wide receiver but Gardena Serra is loaded at cornerback especially
with 2014 stud Adoree' Jackson. Plus, linebacker
Dwight Williams is aggressive and tough and Serra's defense is active and pursues
the ball well.
It could be a real test for Rettig and his team that have put up huge numbers
this season.
Josh Helmholdt, Midwest: There is going to be an interesting prospect vs.
prospect matchup on Oct. 12 when Rivals100 wide receiver Shelton Gibson
and his Cleveland Heights team takes on Warren (Ohio) Harding and
Michigan State commit
Jalyn Powell. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Powell lines up
all over the field for Harding, but I expect him to see plenty of man coverage
on the 6-foot-1, 175-pound Gibson because you need your best athlete to stop
Gibson from the big plays he has shown many times over the course of this
Jason Howell, Southwest: This are some really good ones out there.
Ranthony Texada vs.
Torii Hunter Jr. should be as fun as any
match-up out there, and Matt Dimon against Caleb Benenoch is a
battle of friends who are gridiron foes. J.T. Barrett and
Jerrod Heard should provide plenty of fireworks, and Solomon Thomas
battling Zach Rogers is going to be can't miss trench work by a couple
of top underclassmen.
However the match-up that has me most pumped is Deoundrei Davis vs.
Keith Ford. It's going to be future Longhorn linebacker trying to stop
future Sooner running back in a district match-up. I think we will see plenty of
head-to-head meetings between these two this year and in years to come.
Woody Wommack, Southeast: When Fort Valley (Ga.) Peach County and Macon
(Ga.) Central meet on Oct. 19, two of Georgia's best prospects will square off.
Clemson wide reciever commit Demarcus Robinson (Peach County)
and Vanderbilt linebacker commit Nigel Bowden (Central) figure
to see plenty of each other, especially when Robinson goes over the middle. Both
players are the only real prospects on their team and, even though they won't be
going head-to-head the whole game, they're each the leaders of their respective

Winston-Salem, N.C. - Wake Forest quarterback Tanner Price has been an integral part to the Demon Deacons 5-2 (4-1 ACC) start.
The sophomore from Austin, Texas has emerged as one of the ACC's top tier quarterbacks, placing second in the conference in passing yards per game (260.1), third in passing yards (1,821), fourth in touchdowns (14) and fifth in pass efficiency (149.2).
1) You guys have a lot of big games on the schedule for the fans, but do you sense this week is more special than others? "This is definitely an important week. I mean all of the games are really important, but this one is important just because we have one more win to make it to be a bowl eligible team, and it's also a conference game which makes it big. It's also kind of the state championship game. There's a lot on this game, but we're going to play within ourselves and just take it as any other game."
2) On how not playing North Carolina every year makes this game more special: "It's definitely a rivalry game, and this state is really kind of split up between, Wake, Duke, N.C. State and North Carolina, so anytime you play the in-state schools there's a little rivalry within it."
3) Who brought up the words "state championship game?" Has that been discussed in practice, and in meetings? "Yeah, we've talked about it. The coaches brought it up, and it's something that we haven't won often in school history. I think the last time we won it was in '07, so it would be great and exciting to be able to win that state championship. North Carolina is a great team, and we're going to have to play really good football."
4) What happened in the second half last week? "Offensively we just kind of stalled. I don't think I played very well in the second half. I had a lot of missed passes that I can easily make, and I think it hurt us at times. It's kind of something we've done all year. We've stalled, and it's something we've been working on in practice, and just keeping that intensity every day in practice to try and counter that."
5) Tanner we finally saw a little bit of that read option Saturday. Is that just the offense opening up more, or did you all see something in Duke's defense? "It was a little bit of both. It was something in Duke's defense that we saw that we could potentially capitalize off of, and it's something we've had in our offense, but we haven't really shown."
6) Their [Tar Heels] front four tends to get pretty good pressure on the quarterback. How important is it for you to make your quick reads? "Yeah, I think that'll be important this week this week is just getting rid of the ball quickly, and knowing where I need to go with the football."
7) Was that your dream (to play for Texas)? I mean you grew up in Austin. Did you dream of playing for the Horns? "I didn't necessarily dream of playing for the Horns. I just dreamed of playing Division I Football, and so wherever I had the opportunity to do that I was going to take it. It would have been really fun to have played at UT, because it's so close to home, and a lot of my friends go there, so it would have been fun, but I'm so happy at Wake. I couldn't be at a better spot."
8) Was your father, because he played football at a small school in Oklahoma was he a big UT fan? "No, they grew up in Oklahoma, and so my mom actually went to Oklahoma State, so she's a Cowboy fan, and then my dad doesn't really have ties to either one of them, but my mom is a huge Oklahoma State fan. I mean she's die-hard."
9) How much analysis does he [your dad] give you still, because I know he was influential? "Yeah, he's always coaching me still. He's really good about looking at my fundamentals and seeing where during games where I maybe broke down a little bit and struggled. After the game he'll always coach me and point to where this is what was happening, this is why you weren't throwing good passes."
10) Is your relationship as such to where that's welcome, and you're okay with that? "Yeah, I mean he's never been the type of dad that was just pushing football. It was always you play, because you want to play; not because I'm making you play. We've always had a great relationship."
11) What else is going on with you as a student here? What's changed in terms of Tanner Price [the] student? "It's stayed pretty much the same. It's tough to go out during the season, and have much of a social life just because it's so busy. It's so demanding on our bodies that I have a tough time going out, but during the second semester it's much different. You get a chance to socialize a little bit, and hang out with people."
12) When you were coming back from Duke the other day did you ever have a quiet moment where you were thinking of the play with Chris Givens, or were you thinking of all those other things in the second half? "For me I was kind of disappointed, and so I was kind of thinking about some of the things I did wrong, and where I need to work on, but I'm always happy to win. It's always great to get a win like that. There are definitely things after the game where I'm a little disappointed mainly with myself, but extremely happy for the team, and the fact we were able to pull off the win."
13) What does it mean for you to be a part of Coach Jim Grobe's 100th win? "It's exciting. Coach Grobe is really deserving of the 100th win. He's just a great coach. It's really exciting to be a part of that, to be a player under him."
14) Tanner, Carolina is very multiple in their schemes defensively. Out of all the teams you've faced this season who are they most similar to? "That's kind of tough to say. Each team has their own identity. I don't who I'd compare them to. They run a lot of quarters and cover one and cover zero, so they mix it up a little bit. It's tough to really compare to one team."
15) You're really demanding of yourself, which all really good players are, but have you ever walked off the field, going off the field saying I was good today, I was really good? "There's definitely times where I'm really pleased in my performance, and feel like I played a great game."
16) When was the last one? "I felt really good about my play against Florida State, and then some other games. For the most part I felt good about it, but there's always room for improvement in that area where you feel like you can play a little bit better."
17) Fundamentally, not talking about learning the game, but just fundamentally your biggest improvement this year has been just setting your feet more, because you've talked about that. Has that been you think the biggest improvement? "I think that has, and I think that's really improved my accuracy, just being able to get your feet set, and hitting your target."
18) Part of that's probably because you're more comfortable. You know what you're supposed to do, and you can get into that position quickly. "Yeah, exactly. When you know where to go with the ball, and you know your progressions, like a lot of times last year I didn't always know my full progressions, so as I would look at one of my receivers and see that he was covered I would kind of I guess you could say freak out a little bit. As a result my feet would get all wacked up, happy feet."
19) Tanner, I know it's one game at a time, but they announced that Notre Dame would be a night game here. Does Notre Dame have any special connection for you? Did you grow up watching them at all? "No, just besides the tradition of Notre Dame I don't really have a connection. I saw "Rudy." That's about it."
20) Cowboys or Texans? "I got to go with the Texans. I'm more of a Texans fan. I haven't become a [Tony] Romo fan yet."

(SportsNetwork.com) - Days after losing LeBron James to free agency, the Miami Heat have apparently began trying to replace him by signing Luol Deng.
Deng, a two-time All-Star, reportedly signed a two-year, $20 million deal with the Heat, according to the Miami Herald. Deng also has the right to opt out of the contract after next season, per several media outlets.
With James taking his talents back to Cleveland, the four-time reigning Eastern Conference-champion Heat must fill the roster in the hopes of making up for his unprecedented numbers.
Deng has proven to be a stat-filler during his 10-year career, but will turn 30 next year and was not as productive after being traded from Chicago to Cleveland last season.
In 40 games with the Cavaliers, Deng averaged 14.3 points and 5.1 rebounds, about two points and one rebound below his career numbers.

Important Things to Keep In Mind before Joining a Drug Rehab Center
Drug addiction is a very serious problem and must be dealt with in an equally serious manner. It is very important to acknowledge the fact that addiction can also result in the loss of life of an individual. besides the fact that addiction makes the person financially vulnerable, due to the copious amounts of money that he spends on acquiring drugs, drug addiction can actually lead to the worsening of the health of an individual and lead to a number of medical conditions like cancer. Hence, it is very important that people realize the fact that taking drugs is not the ultimate solution to their problems.One of the best ways to get rid of the drug addiction problems of an individual is to get registered with a drug rehab center. There are plenty of drug rehab centers that are functional nowadays and promise to provide you with the best treatment facilities in order to allow you to get healed in a very short span of time. Drug rehab centers take into account the level of addiction of an individual, the kind of addiction etc and them prescribe necessary procedures which can be followed easily. The treatment methods are cheap, painless and hundred percent effective.But before you resort to the process of actually registering yourself with a drug rehab center, you must first prepare yourself. One can never get healed unless one acknowledges the fact that he or she is suffering from a problem. Acknowledging this fact is very important because unless you believe that you are a drug addict and need treatment, you will never be able to cope up with your problem and become normal again. Drug addiction clouds ones ability to reason. But in such a scenario, you have to get mentally prepared and work towards getting rid of your addiction.Also remember, initiative on your behalf go a long way in allowing for a faster recovery. Rather than asking your family members to go and find suitable treatment facilities, take the initiative and find centers ion your own. Make sure that you go for each and every designated test and register with the centers that your doctor advises you to. Going out and talking to therapists at such places will allow you to get an insight into the fact that drug addiction will actually eat you up from the inside. This will make you have a psychological edge and fasten your healing process.

Machado, Braddock cleared for action
By Brittany Ghiroli / MLB.com
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Manny Machado and Zach Braddock were back in camp Tuesday morning after missing Monday's workout, as the pair had to undergo additional procedures as part of their physicals.
"The doctor had me go follow up on some checkup," Machado said. "No, it was just something personal I had to do. Just something that they saw out of the ordinary."
Orioles manager Buck Showalter mentioned to reporters Monday that it was some sort of acid reflux issue.
"Yeah, I've had it," Machado said. "It's a family thing. It runs in the family.
"[I'm a] full go. I'm ready to get back out there. I was bored yesterday. I'm ready to come back out here and participate with the team."
Machado, projected to be the Opening Day starter at third, is in his first big league camp coming off a rookie season in which he hit .262/.294/.445. Braddock -- who is rehabbing after surgery to fix a left labrum tear -- signed as a Minor League free agent this winter.
Pitchers to get intrasquad work starting Wednesday
SARASOTA, Fla. -- The Orioles will have intrasquad games Wednesday and Thursday in preparation for their first Grapefruit League exhibition game on Saturday.
The plan is for Wednesday's games to start early, around 10:15 a.m. ET, and for 13 pitchers to throw an inning each on the back fields at the Ed Smith Stadium complex. There will be two three-inning games, with the Orioles set for an early day to held to the Third Annual Birdland Golf Classic, which benefits the Miracle League of Manasota. Closer Jim Johnson is one of the guys heavily involved with the organization and is part of the organizing.
The intrasquad game is open to the public on Wednesday, but no word yet on if Thursday's game -- which will start at 1:05 p.m. ET and last six innings on the main Ed Smith Stadium Field -- will be open or not.
Wednesday's pitchers will be Steve Johnson, Zach Clark, and Mike Wright against Todd Redmond, Dylan Bundy and T.J. McFarland on Field 3. Tommy Hunter, Zach Britton and Adam Russell will pitch against Jake Arrieta, Brian Matusz and Jair Jurrjens on Field 4. Pitching on Thursday for the visiting team will be Mark Hendrickson, Troy Patton, Daniel Schlereth and Eduardo Rodriguez, with Chris Tillman, Pedro Strop, Daniel McCutchen, Mike Belfiore and Kevin Gausman pitching for the home team.
Anderson named VP of baseball operations
SARASOTA, Fla. -- The Orioles announced several promotions within their baseball operations department on Tuesday, most notably naming Brady Anderson the club's vice president of baseball operations.
Anderson, who oversees the organization's strength and conditioning program, was previously a special assistant to executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette.
Ned Rice, formerly the assistant director of Major League operations, is now director of Major League administration, with Mike Snyder, previously assistant director of scouting and player development, named assistant director of player of personnel.
Bill Wilkes is now manager of baseball operations and was formerly the coordinator of baseball operations.
"These promotions reflect the significant contributions and commitments Brady, Ned, Mike and Bill have already made to the Orioles' organization," Duquette said in a news release. "They are valuable members of the baseball operations department, and I feel confident they will continue to excel in their new and expanded roles."

CBS reports a lady was escorted off a public bus after reading the bible too loudly.
Lutz, a Seventh Day Adventist, and her children were on their way to church.
Lutz claims the driver told her it wasn't the time or place to read the bible. "I said, 'Oh, but it's the perfect time and the perfect place since it is our Sabbath and it is the time with the Lord and therefore I'm going to continue.' And I continued," Lutz said.
A supervisor was called in, she refused to quiet down, and was escorted off the bus. She now claims she was being persecuted for her beliefs.
You can read about it here.
A note to the Bus Lady: That's not persecution. Persecution would have been if the rest of the bus was full of Muslim and Hindu passengers, all reading their religious texts loudly, and you – and only you – were kicked off the bus for reading aloud from your Christian Bible. What happened is that you were being rude and insensitive to the other passengers, wanted special treatment, and were rejected.

California DFI Warns Against 'Everyone Can Join' Ads
The California DFI on Monday warned its state-chartered credit unions against using advertising statements that claim "everyone can join."
According to spokeswoman Alana Golden, a DFI employee noticed the offending advertising in a credit union branch.
After a search of credit union advertising in the Golden State, the DFI discovered two more ads that used the impermissible tag lines.
According to an article included in the DFI's April monthly bulletin, using advertising statements such as "everyone can join" or "all can join" violate the commissioner's regulation concerning common-bond requirements for field of membership that require members share a common bond beyond obtaining financial services.
The three noncompliant credit unions, which Golden declined to name, received a letter regarding the problem from DFI Commissioner Teveia R. Barnes, Golden said.
In 2012, a marketing firm posted a copy of a June 3 advertisement in the Sacramento Bee by the $8.2 billion The Golden 1 Credit Union that included the headline "Now Everyone Can Join Golden 1!" The statement included a disclaimer at the bottom of the ad that read, "Must meet account opening requirements."
A Golden 1 spokesman did not return a call Monday asking if his cooperative was one of the three credit unions contacted by the DFI.
According to The Golden 1's membership application on its website, membership is open to residents of 33 California counties throughout the state, from Shasta and Lassen counties in northern California to Imperial County on the Mexican border.
In addition to hundreds of SEGs, the eligibility portion of the Sacramento-based credit union's application also includes an option to join the Financial Fitness Association to gain access to membership.

By Robert Wagman
(Saturday, October 13, 2012) -- The visiting United States men took a major step to advancing to the final round of CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying with a last minute, less-than-impressive 2-1 victory behind two goals by striker Eddie Johnson, the second in the 90th minute, last night over tiny Antigua & Barbuda at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua.
The U.S. needs a minimum of a draw Tuesday night in its semifinal-round finale against Guatemala at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan., to advance to the final hexagonal. Guatemala defeated Jamaica last night and is tied with the U.S. atop Group A at 3-1-1 with 10 points, while Jamaica is at 2-2-1 with seven points. Antigua & Barbuda trails at 0-4-1 with one point.
When the qualifying groups were first drawn, the consensus was the U.S. would win in Antigua, short of having to play in a hurricane. The weather was close to that and the match was played under awful conditions with wind and driving rain on a short, narrow, bumpy field, laid out in the center of a cricket oval. The field was the smallest allowed under world governing body FIFA's regulations.
When U.S. coach Jürgen Klinsmann called players in for this match and next Tuesday's in Kansas City against Guatemala, he left certain strikers such as Terrence Boyd off his roster and instead brought back players, such as Eddie Johnson, saying they were good in the air. He expected his opponent to bunker in and he needed forwards who could go up and head a ball on net.
Klinsmann proved prophetic with in this selection of Johnson, who hadn't played for the U.S. since May 2010, hadn't scored a goal since 2008 and two in a match since 2004. Both goals came on headers and he is now tied with Braian McBride for second-most goals in U.S. World Cup qualifying with 10.
Friday's game was not well-played. Once again, the Americans struggled mightily, and without much success, to find any attack. Without injured Landon Donovan in the lineup and midfielder Clint Dempsey largely ineffective, the U.S. lacked any kind of offensive spark in the midfield.
As Klinsmann had expected, Antigua packed in its defense, playing a 4-5-1 formation which saw it often have all 11 players behind the ball. The U.S., except for Johnson's two strikes, simply could not break down the Antiguans.
Yes, Antigua scored a goal as a result of a defensive lapse and a defender slipping on the soaked field, but that should not have resulted in the tight, tense match that resulted. The U.S. simply did not have a coherent attack with players having an off-night, combined with the poor conditions.
Midfielder Danny Williams, playing wide right, was far from his best position. He was largely ineffective. Graham Zusi, on the other side of midfield, was a bit better, but really did not push the ball up the flank, mainly because of the lack of width of the field. This left Dempsey and Michael Bradley in the middle and, with Dempsey getting no service, a largely absent Bradley was left to try to shore up the middle of the defense and act as playmaker moving the ball down the middle into the attack. It did not work.
The U.S. defense was uncharacteristically confused at times during the 90 minutes. With both left backs, Fabian Johnson and Edgar Castillo, unavailable, Carlos Bocanegra was moved to the left side where he played professionally in France three seasons ago. Clarence Goodson and Geoff Cameron were paired in the middle and without the steadying hand of Bocanegra, the two had their problems and communication seemed lacking. The defenders also appeared to have some problems with the speedy Antiguans, especially in the treacherous footing on the wet surface.
"We expected a very difficult challenge and (Antigua) gave us that challenge," Klinsmann said. "It came down to the wire. I'm obviously happy for Eddie getting this moment back on the team. He was all excited the last couple of days and he put the two goals away. That gets us back home with three points (in the standings)."
With the three points, the U.S. continues in prime position to advance to the final round. Had Johnson not scored late and the match ended 1-1, the Americans probably would have needed to beat Guatemala.
As it has done on a number of occasions in this round of qualifying, the U.S. did what it had to do, but did not look particularly good in doing it.
Goalkeeper Tim Howard - 6: Not at fault on conceding a point-blank goal. Made a couple of saves that seemed routine, but given the wind and rain might have caused trouble.
Defender Carlos Bocanegra - 6: Best U.S. defender tonight. Was not beaten and adjusted to the pace, but the slick field kept him from going forward much.
Defender Clarence Goodson - 4: Fell down allowing Dexter Blackstock to score, part of a forgettable night that saw him do little right. Fine in the air, but unsettled on the ground.
Defender Geoff Cameron - 4.5: Was at fault on the Antiguan goal when he allowed speedy Peter Byers past him near the end-line. He had problems with Antigua's pace at other times. He too had a bad off-night.
Defender Steve Cherundolo - 5.5: Gave up the ball on the play that eventually led to the Antiguan goal. Seemed to worry about what was happening in the middle and, as a result, was not really sharp on the outside. A mixed performance.
Midfielder Graham Zusi - 6: Very good and then not-so-good. Wonderful chip for Johnson to run onto provided the first U.S. goal, but he could not get the ball to Dempsey on several occasions when Dempsey had put himself in position to do damage.
Midfielder Michael Bradley - 6: Overall, he was the best U.S. player besides Johnson, but his problem was determining what position he was being asked to play. Alone in the middle, he was both the defensive midfielder and responsible for pushing forward and distributing the ball. That is not his forte, but what he will have to do.
Midfielder Danny Williams - 5: He is really not happy playing wide. Owing to a combination of factors, he was never in the match and came out early.
Midfielder Clint Dempsey - 5: Far and away the most frustrated American player tonight. He did not get the ball when he wanted it and, at times, he dropped deeply to pick it up himself, then was facing multiple defenders. At the same time, he disappeared for long stretches. A very off-night.
Forward Eddie Johnson - 7: Welcome back, Eddie. It might be forgotten he is an experienced player with 28 national-team appearances and that experience helped tonight. He maintained a high work rate all evening despite the conditions and when the opportunities presented themselves he cashed in.
Forward Herculez Gomez - 4.5: As good as he has been in some recent matches, he was poor tonight. He was not a factor at all in the first half, then in the second, he created some opportunities, but could not finish. A forgettable outing.
Midfielder Jermaine Jones (56th minute for Williams) - 5.5: Held out of the starting lineup because of a minor injury and the yellow card he was carrying, he entered in the second half and promptly picked up another yellow for a intentional midfield hand ball when he challenged Blackstock, who looked to have pushed him sideways into the flight of the ball. The yellow from referee Neal Brizan was harsh to say the least. He was very active down the stretch and gave the U.S. an outside weapon it lacked earlier. He will sit out the match on Tuesday.
Forward-midfielder Alan Gordon (73rd minute for Gomez) - 5.5: Actually, a nice 20-minute appearance. He added some pace to the front line and was on the spot to deliver the ball to Johnson for the winning goal.
Midfielder Sacha Kljestan (78th minute for Zusi) - 5.5: A positive, short appearance. He took two quality corner kicks and made one attack with a pass off to Bradley that could have resulted in a goal.
