The upcoming issue of EGM will apparently deliver a slew of new details about the hotly-anticipated 360 title Halo 3 - but it's not all good news.
Bungie, the developer, has not been able to make online cooperative play viable
over Xbox Live, meaning it would be restricted to LAN or split-screen play.
"We're not dumb," said Bungie's Frank O'Conner. "We know that people want it and we're trying to make it happen. I think the biggest problem for us for online co-op is that we have a situation where you can be in a Warthog with five troops, almost a mile away from the other player. That's a significant challenge. And there's lots of design things you could do to prevent that from happening, but they would make it not feel like Halo anymore. If we can make it happen in a way that works well, we will - and if it works badly, we won't."
The affected co-op is a two-player mode, as rumors of a four-player mode were never substantiated.
Though likely a disappointment for players who assumed Gears of War co-op
was setting the standard, it is the online game play, weapon choices and vehicle variety that continues to fuel excited interest in the game.

1978 Mercedes-Benz SL-ClassRecently bought this car with intentions to keep it as a collector/investment vehicle but another car has caught my eye. If you are looking for an r107 (350sl,560sl,500sl,380sl), you know the cars are pretty well built mechanically and the #1 thing to look for is rust and accident damage.
Gallery Link to tons of pictures: Gallery
Here are the reason I bought the car:
-NO RUST whatsoever, only corrosion on the car is due to two old paint blisters on the deck-lid, check out the underside pics, not even surface rust on anything.
-NO Accident damage ever, body is dead straight with no ding or dents, one series of scratches left of the gas cap (see pictures)
- Low miles at ~80k
-Never had the chrome fender trim that trap moisture and rot the arches
-100% original car including working Becker radio, original spare, top, wheels, etc.
-Everything works except the HVAC which was diagnosed by the dealer with all the paperwork on what it needs(common issue on these cars)
-Beautiful color combo
-Car runs and drives straight down the road perfectlyand feels very solid
-Chrome and bright-work is not corroded
-All four wheels were just professionally redone in original Mercedes silver.
With that being said, the car is very original and untouched which means that the original soft-top will need replacing (~$300 for a German top) and the paint on the rear of the car is finally starting to dull (the front had a high qualityresprayat some point due to fading paint, and now the back is catching up to it). The interior is beautiful, as is the underside, top, dash, gauges, and wheels.
When buying any car, especially classic vehicles, the three most important things to me are.
2)rust free
3)no accidents
You can fix anything else, but those three things are very hard to fix. However, the car is not perfect, so please come by and take a look if possible and ask questions. I tried to put all of the information I know about the car in this ad, and the flaws in the pictures, but I would be more than happy to try to help out however I can.On Oct-09-16 at 08:54:46 PDT, seller added the following information:
Car also has a brand new Interstate battery and is offered at NO RESERVE.

Nike LeBron 3 Low "White/Volt" – Sample on eBay
Now that Kobe's sneakers have been given the retro treatment, how long do we have to wait until LeBron gets the same? The man was sort of teasing that out during the tail end of last year, but it's been a while since we had any updates on that front. But there are still plenty of goodies floating around as far has his earlier sig silhouettes are concerned. This pair for example is an unreleased Nike LeBron 3 Low that borrows a little bit of that neon green flavor from the Dunkman theme. Continue reading for a full set of images on the pair and then cop them now from thecoolshoeshine on eBay.

IBM Senior Vice President, Enterprise Transformation
Dear Linda,
You cannot imagine the life ahead of you. It will be full, I can assure you – but live and love life to the fullest right now … the happy memories you are creating you will cherish forever. The lessons you are learning working on your grandparents' farm will also stay with you – so take 'em to heart!
You know all those times your Grandfather tells you "get your fingernails dirty" when you're pulling weeds or pulling shallots … you have to dig into the dirt to get to the root of things. You will find that principle holds true in every job you will have later in life. You have to dig into the details – you will have to roll up your sleeves and get your hands and fingernails dirty to do the best job.
Sometimes things don't go as planned. In fact, you will encounter some real messes, just like you have on the farm … like that time Laura insisted she drive the tractor back hauling a flat bed full of bushels and bushels of shallots … and there were those railroad tracks that ran through the heart of the farm and somehow Laura managed to turn over the flatbed trailer smack-dab in the middle of the railroad tracks – scattering shallots everywhere. You remember how all five of us sisters scrambled to get the shallots picked up before the next train came, or even worse, our grandfather? That just shows how working as a team you can accomplish anything – and find solutions in a tricky situation.
Listen to Mom and Dad when they tell you that you're good in math and should pursue it. And, by the way, you're learning some practical business skills operating that vegetable stand … figuring out what to throw in for free with each bag of shallots at the end of the day to clear out the inventory, for example … this is going to help you if you ever have to make a sales number at the end of the quarter some day in the business world.
You know those days in the summer … those days when work hard all day on the farm in the hot sun … and then the day finally ends … and you and your sisters walk down the path and across the street to the Peconic Bay and kick off your shoes and jump in and swim 'til dark … those really are special days – enjoy them with all your heart. You are lucky to be part of a wonderful, close family and they will provide the ties that bind through all the years ahead.
You have great parents and grandparents … I know you know this, but don't ever take that for granted. Lots of kids aren't so lucky … and enjoy all the time you are spending with them now … one day, they will not be there and you will wish you could talk with them and listen to their advice. So listen to it now – when you can!
One final thought: in life, not all doors will be open for you – you might encounter some resistance as the "first female this" or the "first female that" … don't be discouraged … if the door is locked, find the key. If you can't find the key, push open the door!
With love and the wisdom of retrospection,
(PS: Don't worry – one day, you will be taller than 4'11'' – maybe not that tall, but tall enough to see over the dashboard!)

This is a Case on Stand for the historic "Brown's" Bible of the First Congregational Church -Ann Arbor Michigan. I delivered this piece on Saturday-The timing for Reformation Sunday was a happy coincidence although the Congregationalists are not specifically descendants of the Reformation.
Rift Sawn Red Oak, Quarter Sawn Red Oak veneer,Brass. Finish is Mica Powder gilding, Minwax Red Mahogany and Jacobean stains, Minwax Antique Oil Finish-Shellac topcoat.
The case on Stand holds this edition of Brown's Bible of The First Congregational Church Ann Arbor.There is no date on the Bible but a specialist has estimated it dates from the 1870s which would make sense since the church moved to the present location about 1876.
Here is the opening plate from the Bible- click the link below to see more of these beautiful plates…Thanks for looking-Alan

One thought, I would be concerned with the placement of the stand and also such a valuable book in the sunlight. Maybe some %100 UV protective film on the window or a better location.

Funeral services were held in New Jersey on Wednesday for U.S. Army Spc. Jeremias Ortiz, 26, who was shot and killed by an armed intruder in his own home earlier this month. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, he was buried with full military honors and about 100 people attended the service.
The shooting occurred while Ortiz was stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia, living in an off-base apartment in Hinesville. On June 1 after Ortiz and his wife, Raulani Quintanilla, returned home just before midnight from an evening at the movies, they heard an unfamiliar noise in their apartment. Ortiz grabbed his gun and soon confronted an armed intruder wearing a ski mask, later identified as 21-year-old Kyle Perry, who also lived in the same apartment complex.
According to his wife and a friend who was also present at the time, Ortiz pleaded with the Perry and warned him several times to just leave the apartment. Ortiz's older brother, Angel Ilarraza said, "My brother was trying to get him to leave the house. He didn't want to kill him."
But Perry didn't back down. Instead he fired at Ortiz, striking him in the head and neck. Ortiz fired back, hitting Perry in the arm before he ran from the apartment. Maj. Thomas Cribbs of the Hinesville Police Department confirmed, "It appears that the intruder fired first."
Ortiz was transported by helicopter to a Savannah hospital, where he died the next day. Perry was brought to another hospital by his mother, where he was arrested and charged with murder, aggravated assault, burglary, theft, weapons possession and marijuana possession. Police also confirmed that the gun Perry used was stolen.
Ilarraza expressed, "I think my brother is a true hero. … It's not like he was out and about on the streets looking for trouble like some knucklehead. He was at home." He recalled life growing up in the tough neighborhood of the Speer Village housing project in Passaic, New Jersey. "My brother grew up as a troubled teen," he explained. "He went in the service and wanted to change his life."
Ortiz was a high school dropout who later got his GED. He had survived the street violence of the NJ housing project and survived a dangerous duty in Iraq in which he helped to remove explosive devices as part of a road-clearing unit. Only to have his young life ended violently by an armed intruder while attempting to protect his home, his family and friend, all the while hesitating to take the life of another human being.
Ortiz's parents still live in Speer Village, where his father, Severiano, works as a maintenance man. Victor Cirillo, executive director of the housing authority said, "It's a terrible tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family."
Ortiz had planned to make a career of the military and wanted to have children with his wife.

As John has noted, the Confederate battle flag is under fire in South Carolina. Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sen. Tim Scott, and Gov. Nikki Haley — Republicans all — have called for it to be removed from the state capitol grounds in Columbia, South Carolina.
I agree that it's time to take the flag down. Not because its presence caused Dylann Roof to kill blacks. It didn't. Not because removing the flag will prevent future racist slayings. It won't.
The flag should be removed because it stands for two horrible ideas: (1) fighting to preserve slavery and (2) disunion.
This isn't to deny that many honorable men fought bravely and died for the Confederacy. It's understandable, and not inherently racist or unpatriotic, that many white southerners still want to honor their memory.
Removing the flag from the capitol grounds wouldn't prevent this. It would simply mean that the State of South Carolina, which has honored the Confederacy for a century and a half, will no longer do so — at least not through the public display of a flag that legitimately offends so many of its citizens.
Absent a violation of federal law, I'm not a fan of outsiders telling a state how to behave. The good news from South Carolina is that the state's three leading politicians (all Republicans) — a white, an Asian American, and an African-American — are in accord that removing the flag from the capitol grounds is an idea whose time has come.
UPDATE: According to the Washington Post, the Confederate flag came back to the South Carolina capitol grounds in 1961 as a response to the burgeoning civil rights movement. That's another good reason for removing it.
Flag or no flag, South Carolina has, as I say, been honoring the Confederacy for a century and a half.

UFO Sighting in Alvin, Texas on 1979-07-15 00:00:00 - Three separate sightings; one involved orb following at highway speed for several miles
This report encompasses three separate orb sightings, all three of which were nothing short of profound and all three of which were witnessed by my brother and one of which also was witnessed by my then sister-in-law. it would be difficult to say which of the three was the most profound, but if pressed to do so, i would say that the third encounter was the most profound because it was the longest in duration (perhaps 15 minutes); it was clearly a function and result of intelligence (followed aside our vehicle for several miles and coordinated with our turns and the like) and, because of subsequent time and memory loss. some 38 years have gone by since the encounters (all three within 1 1/2 years at three different locations), of which i rarely speak for fear of ridicule. at one point we turned right, but the object continued on its previous course and out of sight. we then tuned left, then right and approached an elevated irrigation canal (rice canal) and when we reached the top of the canal and bridge, the object was stationary approximately 100 feet in front of us and perhaps 3-4 feet above the pavement. it was clearly waiting. i (none of us) have any memory of what transpired after we saw the object in front of and below us. for whatever it is worth, i am not a nut. i am an officer of a $160 million oil & gas manufacturing and service company; i earn between $500,000 and $900,000 per year; i manage a very successful business unit and i direct the efforts of a team of engineers and craftsmen representing multiple disciplines. having said all that, i would very appreciate consultation with a professional in this field because, well, i need and want to talk to someone; it troubles me. i also bore witness to an enormous triangular-shaped object (perhaps 500 feet in length from the front tip to its tail)having nine lights on its underbelly. i would put the altitude at less than 3,000 feet, but it was night, so the altitude and size of the object would be difficult to swear to. stranger than the size and shape was that it made no sound, yet was obviously under propulsion as it moved slowly overhead. now, in addition to all this, i have one nagging memory of finding myself heavily sedated inside of a craft and being lowered from upper level through a hatch into a lower level. the hatch is best described as being akin to a hinged bank vault door, although only four or so feet in diameter. it is the structure and details of the hatch that i best recall, although while in transit and passing through the upper level, well, a cockpit.

It snowed today.
That's it.
Not a lot. Not a dusting.
It wasn't the soft blanket-y holiday-type snow. Or a SNOWPOCALYPSE.
Just some snow.
Not a single person went into their driveway with a yardstick to measure it. No schoolkid imagined a better tomorrow.
It was just a little more snow on top of last week's dirty leftover snow. Next week, it'll be last week's dirty leftover snow.
This wasn't snuggly hot chocolate snow. It was tepid-third-cup-of-coffee-that-had-been-left-on-the-burner-for-most-of-the-morning snow.
A few folks delayed their errands. But only till they heard the plow go by. They needed something from Rite Aid that they forgot once they got there. Which was a pain, because afterall, they'd gone out in the snow. They bought other things so as not to waste the trip.
There were no curly cue drifts to marvel at. It was slouchy snow. Slumpy teenage snow. It was the sky saying "I'm bored."
It's the sort of snow that clumps up behind your tires. Until it falls off. Or you kick it.
The goats checked it out. Meh.
Then it stopped snowing.
There's none planned tomorrow. Or the next day.
It was the sort of snowfall that exists for no other reason than to actively remind you that it's mid-January.
It was just snowblesse oblige.

Shoebox Appeal in Cashel
Cashel Lions Club have been involved in this wonderful project for a number of years now and they are hoping to send at least 150 shoeboxes to different parts of the world for Christmas.
The idea is very simple, filling an ordinary shoebox with little things, many of which we take for granted, and sending them to countries where children seldom receive a gift. This is a very exciting project that brings joy to many kids in poorer countries and what it teaches is how little is required to bring a smile of happiness to a child's face. Project co-ordinator, Marie Gayson, would like to thank all who have filled boxes so far, or supplied material to put in them. She wishes also to express her gratitude for anyone who contributed money to the project, It costs €4 to despatch a box. The packing of the boxes takes place in the Parish Centre on November 8 and anyone who has boxes filled or material for boxes should come along on the night between 6.30pm and 8pm.

For Attorney General Janet Reno, the cacophony of criticism may be deafening by day's end. But it may not last long.
Ms. Reno is expected to decide today against naming a special prosecutor to investigate the legality of fund-raising calls from the White House.
Reno's own Justice Department task force has recommended that she not trigger a further probe - to the great dismay of those who say President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore broke the law.
The news would be welcomed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in an administration that has already seen six special prosecutors appointed during Mr. Clinton's first term. Three are still active.
Analysts agree that, despite the short-term tornado the decision could create for Reno, there will likely be little long-term fallout for her or the administration.
Mr. Clinton's "possible violations are class D in the overall scheme of things," says Ted Van Dyk, a long-time Democratic adviser who says Reno should trigger the independent-counsel statute. "But this could inflame things," causing others leading related investigations to ratchet up their efforts.
However, the administration's political and legal fortunes still rest on the outcome of four other investigations stemming from Democratic fund raising practices.
* Reno must also decide by tomorrow if an independent counsel probe of former Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary is warranted. She faces allegations of illegally seeking a $25,000 dollar contribution from Johnny Chung, a Democratic fund-raiser, in exchange for her agreeing to meet with Chinese businessmen.
* Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt also faces a possible investigation to determine if campaign contributions and political pressure from the White House influenced his decision to deny casino applications to three Indian tribes.
* Two fund-raisers reportedly could be indicted by year's end: Yah Lin Trie and Maria Hsia are being investigated in connection with efforts to funnel foreign contributions to the Democratic Party.
Any or all of these cases could bring investigators closer to the White House.
And while Senate hearings led by Sen. Fred Thompson (R) of Tennessee closed prematurely due to lack of findings, in the House, Rep. Dan Burton (R) of Indiana will reconvene his investigation into Democratic fund-raising practices in January with renewed purpose.
Until then, Reno is expected to bear the brunt of GOP ire. "If she doesn't [call for a special prosecutor] she should resign," says Jim Nicholson, chairman of the Republican National Committee. "It is a clear reflection of the conflict of interest she has with the White House."
Reno's critics will be hard pressed to actually force her to step aside with the law, and public sentiment behind her. "She has a right to do this under the law," says Stephen Hess, a Fellow at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank.
FOR the past three months, legal scholars have debated whether Clinton and Mr. Gore violated the statute in question, which was intended to prevent politicians from shaking down in-house underlings for contributions.
Clinton and Gore were questioned last month about their use of White House phones to contact donors. Gore admitted making more than 40 calls. Clinton says he doesn't recall making any such calls.
"She has established a lot of groundwork on this, discussing how difficult it would be to prosecute," says Craig Crawford, editor of the newsletter The Hotline.
But Reno has proven she has no qualms about triggering the statute. In the first term, "when she looked around the table at Cabinet meetings, it seemed she had half of them under investigation," says Mr. Hess. In addition to two Whitewater counsels, Reno has named prosecutors to investigate former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros, former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy, and late Commerce Secretary Ron Brown.
Still many in Washington believe, in this case at least, that people are tired of listening to unproved charges of wrongdoing.
The perception that the story is being kept alive by partisan accusations insulates the administration from political damage. "There is a real public wariness," says Mr. Crawford, "of this pattern of stories that either get disproved or are too complicated to understand," he says.
Even Mr. Nicholson says the president is likely to emerge unscathed. "I just couldn't predict this will have a long-term political impact on Clinton," he says.
Perhaps most at stake for the administration is the amount of damage to Gore's once squeaky-clean image. "He is held hostage to Bill Clinton," observes Hess who points out any new damaging revelations would hurt Gore the most.

LAVAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Sept. 13, 2016) - Correctional Service Canada
On September 10, 2016 at about 9:20 p.m., as a result of the vigilance of staff members, a package containing contraband and unauthorized items was found on the perimeter of Drummond Institution, a medium security federal institution.
The items seized included one cell phone and a charger, 500 grams of tobacco, 45 grams of hydromorphone, 4 lighters, 4 packs of rolling papers and one pack of matches. The total estimated institutional value of this seizure is $32,950.
The institution was placed on lockdown to allow staff to conduct a search of the yard. The search was ordered to ensure the safety and security of the institution, its staff and inmates. Normal operations resumed on September 11, 2016 around 11:00 a.m.
The police have been notified and the institution is investigating.
The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) uses a number of tools to prevent drugs from entering its institutions. These tools include ion scanners and drug-detector dogs to search buildings, personal property, inmates and visitors. CSC also works in partnership with the police to take action against those who attempt to introduce contraband and unauthorized items into correctional institutions.
The CSC has set up a telephone tip line for all federal institutions to receive additional information about activities relating to security at CSC institutions. These activities may be related to drug use or trafficking that may threaten the safety and security of visitors, inmates and staff members working at CSC institutions.
The toll-free number, 1-866-780-3784, helps ensure that the information shared is protected and that callers remain anonymous.
The CSC introduced a complete smoking ban in all federal correctional institutions in 2008.

Well-known Pakistani business mogul Sadruddin Hashwani owns five-star hotels and oil and textile businesses. After the military coup Oct. 12, one of Mr. Hashwani's pastry chefs sent a cake, reportedly the size of a dinner table, to new leader Gen. Pervez Musharraf. The general sent back the gift untouched. And days later, rather than pay back loans to the state bank worth millions of dollars, Mr. Hashwani fled Pakistan.
As a Musharraf-imposed deadline for payments on more than $4 billion in bad bank loans passed Nov. 16, all of Pakistan is waiting to see how many of its rich elite will pay up, or be arrested and go through an expected series of show trials.
The deadline is the first test of the credibility - if not viability - of a new regime. It will also largely decide whether Pakistan's current "friendly" military government will take a harsh turn, perhaps further suspending constitutional laws, and even setting up a modified type of martial law. Some experts say Musharraf has already missed his chance, and must now crack down after "D-Day," or default day.
"He needed to get at least half of the 210 billion rupees ($4 billion) owed; right now he will be lucky to get 5 billion ($96 million)," says Shahid-ur-Rehman, an Islamabad-based writer and author of "Who Owns Pakistan?"
A decade of exploitation of public funds has created huge reservoirs of ill feeling among the impoverished 100 million in this country of 140 million people - feelings that may soon have political consequences. Already, the corrupt use of public money is the main source of tinder for a still soft and fluid Islamic revolution now under way in Pakistan.
The magnitude of that corruption is staggering by any account. For more than a decade, the worst offenders, some 1,500 persons and companies, have used the banks of Pakistan like magical cash machines that give loans without collateral: $1.54 billion in unpaid loans by 1992, a figure that doubled by '95. In a country where $200 per month is a good salary, the amounts seem astronomical. The money taken by a cadre of wealthy families, referred to as "faceless billionaires," is rarely paid back, and is often written off. No one knows how much has been written off over the past 20 years.
If Musharraf does not seem to win the battle to collect bad loans, it is felt, the regime will seem to follow the pattern of so many others that promised grand reforms - most recently that of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif - but never delivered.
So far the harvest appears small. Critics say the selection of the former bank chief M. Yakub to the new National Security Council itself bodes ill, since Dr. Yakub was responsible for overseeing the loans in the first place.
"If he had moved quickly the defaulters would have to take him more seriously," says Muhammad, a carpet salesman in Islamabad. "But now it looks like those on the list have figured out how to avoid paying."
However, there may be a method here. Musharraf may use nonpayment of loans as a rationale for a crackdown that will make life slightly easier for the military regime. In a post-cold-war era where the appearance of liberal democracy is important, Western governments do not want to be seen supporting a harsh dictator. But if Musharraf transparently fails to clean Pakistan's Augean stables through civil means - the international community may "understand" if he tries to do so through extraconstitutional ones.
Democracy vs. sharia?
Either way, Pakistan, whose civil cohesion is disintegrating, faces a stark choice. Increasingly, that choice is being articulated this way: The military regime restores some semblance of democracy in the next two years. Or the nation will be reconstructed as an Islamic state run by the sharia, the law of the Koran.
"If the present dispensation fails to deliver, the mullahs waiting in the wings can rise to power," says Ross Masood Husain, a diplomat and head of a security research center in Islamabad.
Last year, in a nod to the street power of the Islamic fundamentalists, then- Prime Minister Sharif attempted to set up the sharia as a kind of alternative legal system. The Senate nixed the controversial attempt. But the lower house passed it. Insiders say Mr. Sharif would have eventually passed the bill - en route to declaring himself "the leader of the faithful," making him both a spiritual and temporal leader.
For now, the coup has ended the two main political dynasties that have run Pakistan for more than a decade: the Bhutto dynasty centered in Karachi, and the Sharif dynasty centered in Lahore. Parliament is suspended, and it is likely that in time, Musharraf will dismiss it permanently. Sharif's party holds a majority there.
One drama now playing out, in fact, is the prosecution of Sharif. The former prime minister is accused of treason and may end up, ironically, in front of a new type of court he himself set up. The courts are designed to administer "speedy justice" to troublemakers. Executing the former prime minister is not off the table. In a country where ordinary people are eager to see retribution of some kind, any kind, against the elite, such a move might even be popular.
But even normal prosecution of the defaulters may be difficult. Take the first name on the alphabetical list - Mian Aftab Amid. Mr. Amid is an owner of a firm called Fazalsons. When the first list of bad loans was published in the newspaper Dawn in 1992, Fazalsons was charged with $65.5 million in unpaid loans. Amid fled to London.
Since then, Amid has purchased four hotels in London, which he reflagged as a well-known Western hotel chain. The most recent purchase, in 1997, was a hotel costing $9 million. Last year, Fazalsons was listed as the third-largest defaulter in Pakistan - owing $54 million. Yet legally recovering the money may be difficult since borrowers can blame the company shareholders as equally responsible.
"They can tie it up in court, and spread the blame," says Mr. Rehman, the writer.
One other reason it may be difficult to prosecute is that many defaulters may simply choose to go to jail rather than pay. They can threaten to shut down their industries, which now employ many thousands of Pakistanis - creating a backlash against the government and further anger in the population.
Public calls for faster action
With the Islamic community unhappy with Musharraf's call for a moderate Islam, and with the business community upset that its leaders may face trial or jail, the new Pakistani leader is under attack by the press for not acting faster and more decisively. "Its going to be a very bumpy ride," said a recent front page editorial in the independent Friday Times. "It would be a good idea for the junta to formulate objectives, mission statements, tactics, and strategy before a siege mentality takes hold of the generals, and they become short-tempered and repressive."
In early December, Pakistan must make quarterly payments to the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and the Asian Development Bank of about $500 million. Whether Musharraf was able to borrow funds from any of the four countries he has visited - especially Saudi Arabia, is unclear. That is the next major test.

Since its release in 2004 the Ford Territory has become one of the success stories of the Australian car manufacturing industry. It's found a home in the garages of many families here in NZ as well as across the ditch and has even performed duties as an emergency response vehicle. But after seven years cruising the streets how can the Territory stay desirable in a SUV market that's packed with machinery from Japan and Europe? By offering a diesel engine option for the first time for starters, backed up by a modernising facelift, equipment upgrades and a greater emphasis on refinement. Has Ford's $230 million dollar investment in the new Territory paid off? Car and SUV was certainly impressed by the 2011 Territory at its launch event earlier this year and got some more seat time to take a closer look.
Looks are a good place to start because in terms of styling the Territory has really shifted up a gear. The familiar proportions remain but there are now some calculated injections of Ford's current kinetic design language. At the front there's an all-new face with new upper and lower grilles, the headlights, bonnet and front bumper have also been replaced. These fresh touches give a wider and more muscular frontal appearance. At the rear Ford has deftly wrapped the three quarter glass around to the rear windscreen, hiding the D-pillar and giving it a slick look. New horizontal taillights replace the previous vertical design and also wrap into the rear guards. There are some more subtle general tweaks as well, like vents on the front fenders and indicator repeaters in the wing mirrors. Our tested top-spec Titanium model was dressed up further with chrome trim on the front grille, LED front lights, tinted glass and 18-inch Y-Spoke alloy wheels. In terms of design it's a very successful facelift, the 2011 Territory looks 'right now' modern and dynamic while retaining its same staunch road presence.
In the cabin the sweeping updates continue with new colours, higher quality materials and updated technology. The redesigned dashboard is very similar to that of the Falcon and has a practical focus. Higher spec models like our Titanium receive the new Interior Command Centre high-mounted 8-inch touch screen. It's a full colour system that controls a wide range of equipment and settings, it also acts as a display for the reversing camera and satellite navigation system. Instrumentation is a conventional two-dial arrangement with a small display screen that shows trip and vehicle info. The steering wheel is thick to grip and houses nicely bulky switches for cruise control and stereo settings. The quality of materials used is a definite step up but remains mixed. Touch surfaces like the door trims and centre console are high grade but some areas of the dashboard remain hard to the touch. That said, there is an overwhelming sense of durability to the Territory cabin – a key virtue for a family hauler.
Small storage is well catered for with a deep centre storage bin/armrest and a clever garage door-hidden area for wallets and cell phones. Comfort is also a selling point, the steering wheel adjusts for reach and rake plus the electronically adjusted front seats are a true highlight. Trimmed in soft leather the Territory seats are broad and deep making for a cosseting feel. The driver's chair has 6-way adjustment, a lockable drawer underneath and offers commanding forward visibility. The second row of seating has plenty of leg and headroom and a wide centre armrest with cupholders. The stowable third row of seating gives the Territory its 7-seater capability but like most third rows is best suited to the kids or grandma providing you can push her in there.
In terms of standard equipment our tested Territory Titanium came fully stacked and really pushes its case as a premium SUV. Some notable inclusions were a thumping CD Stereo with sub-woofer and USB input, Bluetooth, three 12-Volt outlets, dual-zone air conditioning and a roof mounted DVD player for the kids/grandma.
So how about that new diesel engine then? Well, it's not too shabby at all; in fact, it's an absolute godsend for the Territory badge. The previous model was accused of being too thirsty and expensive to run but the new 2.7-litre Duratorq TDCi turbo-diesel motor addresses that issue. Not at the cost of grunt either, it produces 140kW of power and a very healthy 440Nm of peak torque from just 1900rpm. It's a strong, competent unit that is also surprisingly quiet, thanks largely to the extensive sound deadening put in place with the 2011 upgrades. For diesel enthusiasts, the new engine is a 60-degree V6 with a compacted graphite iron block, alloy cylinder heads, common rail direct injection and a single intercooled turbocharger. While the Territory weighs in at a plus-size 2,167kg (kerb weight), the diesel motor still gets it moving at a fair clip with a torque-heavy pull especially through the mid range. This makes for comfortable cruising at open road speeds with enough in reserve to overtake lesser vehicles safely. The Territory is also well mannered around the suburbs and has very little diesel clatter so there'll be no embarrassment when doing the school run. Claimed fuel use is 8.8 litres per 100km for the AWD Titanium model, which is a big improvement over the petrol models but it may be hard to achieve unless you spend major driving time on the motorways.
The diesel engine is mated to Ford's ZF-based six-speed automatic transmission that provides smooth and assured shifts. There's also a sports mode that holds gear longer and chops down quicker as you head into corners. If you want to do it yourself the ratios can be worked manually through the leather-wrapped gearstick. Towing capacity is rated at 2700kg braked, which is 400kg more than the petrol models and strengthens the Territory's reputation as a very capable tow vehicle.
Dynamically, the Territory is quite involving for a med/large SUV. Its main focus is on-road ability and all round ride comfort rather than hedging its bets with any serious off-roading desires. It has good compliance and the long-travel through the wheels allows it to eat up bumps and dips without issue. Pushing through corners body roll is never severe and there is plenty of grip particularly on AWD models like our test specimen. A bonus for rural dwellers is that the Territory feels just as assured and comfortable on gravel as it does tarmac. Braking is reassuringly firm with a progressive feel through the pedal. There's vented discs all round and a twin-piston set up in the front. It's a smooth operator overall and on road dynamics are where the 2011 Territory has the jump on key competitors like the Holden Captiva and Toyota Highlander.
Petrol model Territorys can only be had in 2WD but the diesels are available with the AWD system but does this mean the Territory can venture off road? Like many 'soft roader' SUVs the answer is yes – but to a limited extent. The 175mm ground clearance and low down torque output allow it enough off road ability to traverse a steep gravel driveway or get close to the action at the local sports field. For more rugged work it may prove tenacious but push too far and it will ultimately be found wanting. However, you'll never really know till you give it a crack.
Safety bases are covered with a range of electronic safety aids including dynamic stability control with roll over mitigation, traction control, seatbelt pretensions at the front and a full airbag package with driver's knee bag.
To conclude, the 2011 Ford Territory is a large move forward for the model line and has much more to offer than you'd find in an average facelift. It also serves as an example of the engineering ability at Ford Australia and is a vehicle they'll be understandably proud of. Offering a diesel option was important and it's an impressive engine that's strong and refined. Like previous versions ride comfort and dynamic ability remain a Territory strong point and the refreshed cabin is nicely appointed. The top-spec Titanium is pricey at a tenner shy of $70k but it's the type of vehicle that will pose no long-term regrets. If you need the spaciousness, want the comfort and can afford the top end model, then we can find no reason to dissuade you from the updated 2011 Territory Titanium.
Price: $69,990
What we like:
- Ride comfort
- Strong silent type diesel engine
- Styling updates are effective
- Front seats
What we don't like:
- Fuel economy is much improved but still not outstanding
- Pricey in Titanium form
Who will buy this car: It's a precision tool for busy families. There's plenty of interior space for the dog or packs of kids and practicality can be found in every corner.
Cool Factor: Medium, the styling updates make it look stauncher for sure, but it's a hard road giving a family-focused SUV any real sex-appeal.

DENVER– The 69th General Assembly opened Wednesday with state House and Senate leaders recalling tragedies of last year, calling for bipartisanship in tackling top priorities of economic recovery, job creation and education. Those goals will likely be echoed today in Gov. John Hickenlooper's State of the State Address.
"When disaster strikes, our government is there to help. When a wildfire roars into Colorado Springs or a madman opens fire in an Aurora theater, our government responds," declared House Speaker Mark Ferrandino.
"In those urgent and impossible moments, it is our government – in the form of police officers, firefighters and paramedics – that is first on the scene," said Ferrandino. "…it is our government that provides grief counselors and social workers. It is an intricate web of local, state and federal agencies working together to rebuild homes, lives and communities."
Ferrandino's "our government"speech hinted at the philosophical differences between the Democrats and Republicans.
"It is reasonable to debate the size and scope of our government and its institutions," said the House Speaker. "But to blindly and cynically condemn government is to willfully ignore the many ways it makes our lives more secure and contributes to shared prosperity."
"To quote Congressman Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts)," said Ferrandino, "Government is simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together."
Ferrandino asked Republicans and Democrats to find consensus to fund economic development to assist business expansion to create jobs – particularly in the aerospace, clean tech, bioscience, information technology and renewable energy fields – and in education, deemed "our single largest economic driver."
Reaping the benefits of oil and gas exploration must not put communities at risk from water or air pollution, he said. Several bills may be in the works to increase setbacks between oil and gas drilling and residential communities and schools, and require water testing.
Quoting author Ayn Rand, "the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities," Ferrandino asked for bipartisan cooperation to pass the same-sex civil union bill this year.
At the start of his speech, Ferrandino, the state's first openly gay House Speaker, introduced family members.
"My husband, Greg Wertsch, who picks me up when I'm down and knocks me down a peg or two when I take myself too seriously," said Ferrandino.
Though their foster child Lila wasn't in the chamber, Ferrandino said "This beautiful baby girl has enriched our lives beyond our wildest dreams. And you get a different perspective on life when you're changing diapers in the Speaker's office."
Leaders in the House and the Senate gave speeches that mixed political goals and personal stories, somber tones and humorous quips.
House Minority Leader Mark Waller (R-Colorado Springs) heavily emphasized "opportunities" throughout his speech, from supporting increased funding for K-12 and higher education to energy development that utilizes renewable sources, oil and gas and clean coal.
Expressing his commitment to economic development, Waller again declared, "Opportunity is the difference between a paycheck and an unemployment check."
"Colleagues, let us continue this tradition of bipartisanship," said Waller, recalling the successful passage of the budget with unanimous support last year under the leadership of House Speaker Frank McNulty.
"Titles and majorities may shift," said Waller, "but our responsibilities to our constituents stay the same."
Republicans share the goals of Democrats "to promote the best policies for the people of Colorado," said Waller. "We may disagree on what the best policy may be, but I know in my heart we all want Colorado to thrive and prosper."
Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman (R-Colorado Springs) also talked of the tragedies that befell the state last year – and paid personal tribute to individuals who saved lives during the Waldo Canyon fire and the Aurora theater shooting.
Senate President John Morse delivered a speech about a terrible accident more than 30 years ago in El Paso County and called on the legislators to work together like the first responders that tried to save the young man's life.
Morse said legislation will address economic recovery, education, healthcare, child protection, crime prevention, civil rights and implementing legalized marijuana approved by voters in November.
The best advice came from outgoing House Speaker McNulty who implored the new legislators to enjoy the day because there will be plenty of time ahead for "lobbying across the aisle – I said lobbying, not lobbing."

Girls basketball falls to Coal Ridge
December 2, 2006
Carbondale — Stealing passes to jumpstart fast breaks, the Coal Ridge girls basketball team built up an early lead that carried all the way to the end, as the Titans downed the Steamboat Springs Sailors, 57-43 in the first game of the Brenda Patch Tournament on Friday at Roaring Fork High School.
The Titans came up with 10 steals in the first half, most of which were quickly transitioned down the floor, ending with easy layups.
Coal Ridge, aided by guard Daile Gray's four steals, outpaced the Sailors to take a 31-19 lead at halftime.
In the third quarter, Steamboat went cold, missing the majority of its shots and only scoring four points through the first seven minutes of the frame. The Sailors then scored five points in the last minute, led by a Gracie Stockdale 3-pointer, to reduce the Titans lead to 43-28 heading into the final quarter.
Steamboat cashed in on 17 second-half fouls, sinking nine free throws on its way to a 15-point fourth quarter, but it was too little, too late.
Coal Ridge's offense was spread out with everyone on the team making contributions. Nine of 10 Titans scored, with Gray leading the way with 15 points.

Freshman Tori Verdieck came up one rebound shy of a double-double in her Titans debut, with six of her 10 points coming on put backs from offensive rebounds.
Brittany Long led the Sailors on offense, scoring 12 points while Lizzie Stoll and Shannon King each chipped in eight.
"In that second half, we were much better. In the first half, the experience really came through," said Steamboat head coach John Ameen of his team that consists of only one senior. "In the second half we regained our composure and ran the plays and hopefully we can build off of that."
Coal Ridge will play Battle Mountain in its final game of the Brenda Patch Tournament at 2 p.m. today, while the Sailors will face host Roaring Fork at 5 p.m.

Republican Like Me
How I Left the Liberal Bubble and Learned to Love the Right
On Sale: 10/24/2017
Spend $49 and get FREE shipping on HC.com
In this controversial National Bestseller, the former CEO of NPR sets out for conservative America wondering why these people are so wrong about everything. It turns out, they aren't.
Ken Stern watched the increasing polarization of our country with growing concern. As a longtime partisan Democrat himself, he felt forced to acknowledge that his own views were too parochial, too absent of any exposure to the "other side." In fact, his urban neighborhood is so liberal, he couldn't find a single Republican--even by asking around.
So for one year, he crossed the aisle to spend time listening, talking, and praying with Republicans of all stripes. With his mind open and his dial tuned to the right, he went to evangelical churches, shot a hog in Texas, stood in pit row at a NASCAR race, hung out at Tea Party meetings and sat in on Steve Bannon's radio show. He also read up on conservative wonkery and consulted with the smartest people the right has to offer.
What happens when a liberal sets out to look at issues from a conservative perspective? Some of his dearly cherished assumptions about the right slipped away. Republican Like Me reveals what lead him to change his mind, and his view of an increasingly polarized America.

At a time when most people can't be bothered to listen to their political opponents, Ken Stern choose to live among them. The result is insightful and generous and refreshing. He can shoot with me any time. - TUCKER CARLSON
"Ken Stern did a gutsy thing, poking his head outside his own bubble, and then inhaling. His chronicle of discovery of how the other (political, cultural) half lives is honest, insightful, cheerfully self-deprecating, and quite often hilarious." - JOHN DONVAN, bestselling author of In a Different Key: The Story of Autism and host of Intelligence Squared US
"Republican Like Me is a marvelous book—engaging and thoughtful, timely and textured, a model for how to approach politics in this angry and polarized age. Ken Stern is a liberal who decided to spend a year understanding conservatives rather than demeaning them. The result is fascinating journey, told through stories, analysis, and evidence. It is a humanizing and generous book, showing us that our political opponents need not be our political enemies. Sometimes we can even learn from them. Whether you're on the Left or the Right, you'll be smarter and wiser after reading Republican Like Me. Ken Stern was changed in the course of writing this book. You'll be changed by reading it." - PETER WEHNER, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center; contributing opinion writer for the New York Times; senior adviser in the George W. Bush White House

OSN: The often-mentioned nastiness of Linux advocates on the internet, and their impatience for anyone with a "noob" question.
MR: Our target is the "noob," and work hard to help these new users. We have multimedia tutorials which walk users through all the basics. Our forums are loaded with helpful people, many who came to Linspire as "noob" Linux users themselves. We have telephone and email support which we offer our customers. To go beyond a small percentage of desktop users, Linux needs to be inviting to the non-techno elite. That's where our focus is. In a way, we are to desktop Linux what AOL was to the Internet. AOL wasn't for the techno elite, but that group recommended it to all their non-technical friends. Without the Internet becoming easy for the average consumer, it wouldn't have grown like it has, which then in turns draws more resources to the Internet, helping everyone. The more people using Linux on their desktop, the more resources that will flow to it, benefiting "noobs" and experts alike.
OSN: The quirkiness and "slowness" of X, and the limitation that puts on the Linux GUI.
MR: We don't think desktop Linux is being held back by X or any other technical limitation. The biggest challenges are educating consumers that desktop Linux is now practical for many uses and building the distribution channels to get it in front of consumers. It's hard work supporting retailers, distributors and OEMs, but that's what's needed most. Any minor technical limitations that Linux may still have, are far out weighed by some of the many problems Microsoft Windows users face, such as viruses, security, expensive and proprietary software, and so on.
OSN: Many people point out that while Windows (and a drive full of common Windows software) is expensive, that since all bargain PCs come with Windows anyway, and indeed, most potential Linux users have already paid for Windows and already have it on their computer, that there's little incentive to make the switch for economic reasons. For example, you sell a $299 computer. But Dell also sells a $299 computer that includes Windows XP and WordPerfect. What's a non-techie home user's incentive to pick yours?
MR: There are 3 reasons that people consider desktop Linux and Linspire. First is price. If they can avoid $100 for the OS, several hundred for an office suit, and hundreds more for Frontpage, Visio and Frontpage and instead replace them with ultra-affordable open source titles, that's an enormous advantage. The second reason people are considering desktop Linux is to avoid the cost and hassle of endless security issues from viruses, spyware, and other malicious software which are now part of the daily life for Microsoft Windows users. Today, these are basically non-existent for Linux so users can focus on getting their jobs done and not baby-sitting their computer. And Linspire makes Linux easy to use and maintain by making things point and click easy. We work hard at auto-configuring all the common file formats and devices from inline Quicktime movies to the latest printers. And if they need more software, they can add it with a single click using CNR.
If someone has already paid for Microsoft Windows XP, then they are a much tougher sell for desktop Linux because the number one driver is value. The largest opportunities for desktop Linux in the near term are the "green field" opportunities in emerging markets. If we can give someone a desktop Linux computer before they spend money and time on Microsoft Windows XP, then that's ideal. It's fascinating to look at lraiser.com and see exactly where hundreds of new desktop Linux users are sprouting up every single day all around the globe. In the US and other first world countries, I think the sweet spot is in cost conscience businesses, second and third computer homes, and schools.
OSN: Others might say that Linux has some potential now in the technical workstation space or centrally-managed business desktop, but is still too rough for the home user. What do you think are the essential differences between business and home uses, and is there anything about Linux today that makes it suitable for one and not the other? Would you agree that Linux has a stronger entry point right now in businesses than it does in the home?
MR: Well for businesses the lack of ability to support the latest games is actually a feature. :) Since Linux does a great job with core office duties and internet tasks, it's well-suited for business deployment today. We are working on large deployments with companies in telecommunications, entertainment and software businesses right now. Most are migrating their customer support staff first who do most of their work inside a web browser and then moving to their wider employee base. The cost savings and virtually non-existent security issues are compelling to businesses. However, we have hundreds of new Linspire users each day, and the majority of those are from consumers looking for affordability and security. We have to work harder to support those users, because they use a wide range of peripherals, software, etc., but it helps us get better and road tests us for when businesses are ready to try Linux.
OSN: What do you think are the core qualities that a non-techie home user is looking for in a computer, and why do you think a Linux system would fit the bill? And why wouldn't a Windows XP system or a Mac fit just as well or better?
MR: Home users needs are not that different from business users. Remember Microsoft sells the identical products to both. Cost and security are again the largest factors. Home users are probably more concerned with support since they don't have a technical staff to call upon. Apple makes great products, but they are very, very expensive.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- The Greenburgh Nature Center recently hosted an evening presentation by local middle school students who participated in the Bronx River Study.
The presentation demonstrated the value of working with young students to promote environmental stewardship of the river and the surrounding ecosystem.
As part of the Edgemont seventh-grade science curriculum, the students study the biological and chemical health of Woodfrog Pond at the Nature Center. The seventh-grade research group river study program is an enrichment activity to explore the content at a higher level.
The program consisted of working with a group of Edgemont seventh-graders to conduct a physical survey and habitat assessment at two locations along the river, one by the Scarsdale train station and the other by the County Center in White Plains.
The students collected and analyzed scientific data related to substrate type, water quality, flow patterns and plant and macro invertebrate life. "It is a joy for me to work with these eager and enthusiastic young scientists," said Maria DeCandia, founder of the program and a teacher at Edgemont Middle School.
Together, they have collected data about the health of the Bronx River that spans 15 years and is the largest continuous database of the river.

D.C. United Head Coach Ben Olsen
On the differences between the first half and the second half:
"I thought the energy was good in the first half. We started extremely bright, but then we had an inability to get through their line of pressure, and sustaining possession cost us a lot of defending. We started to wear down, and I give them credit because their front line put us under pressure and you have to play through that line and keep the ball instead of going back and forth with a team like that. That's what they want, and they do it pretty well. Second half, they got a little open and made some plays. I thought overall, though, it was a step in the right direction from last week. Some of the things were implemented, but it's still a loss and it still hurts."
On Jared Jeffrey and Conor Doyle starting today and their performance:
"[Conor] Doyle got here this week, and he has only been in two training sessions. We came across a few injuries late with [Carlos] Ruiz and [Casey] Townsend, and we figured it was a good chance to try him and I thought he did fine. It's not an easy exercise for him to go out in his first game in a while with new teammates, but I saw good things. He puts himself in good spots and physically he can do the work, but he probably has to be a little more combative. His feet are good, though, and again the important thing with him was he was in the right spots and when things start to click, he will be an effective player for us. And Jared [Jeffrey] did fine. Jared hung in there, and hasn't had a lot of games either as we still try to get guys where they need to be."
On if Conor Doyle would have started without injuries to other players:
"He would have been in the mix because he had a good week. He showed us some good things and we're looking at a lot of different options right now. We got some new guys in, so we're tinkering and we're looking at things that can spark us and prepare us for the future."
On what he would like to see out of Conor Doyle next game:
"I would like him to be a little more central. [Luis] Silva was very high in the first half, and they were playing on their two center backs maybe a little too much. I would have liked Silva to come off a little more and that would have helped us with possession. I thought we tried to do that in the second half, and at times we looked better with that. But, you throw them out there the first week with a new team and it's a tough task, but he did fine."
On Kyle Porter's injury:
"He will be fine. I think he picked up a knick, but he will be fine."
On if the focus right now is on developing the future:
"[Luis] Silva is a real piece, and we are looking to add as many real pieces to the club right now. I've got one eye here presently on the week-to-week MLS…I have another eye on the Open Cup, which is a big deal, and finding out what the best team is that we would have out there. And I have my third eye on the future of this club, and that's a very important thing right now. I still believe in the future of this club and a bunch of these guys I have in this locker room."
D.C. United goalkeeper Joe Willis
On New England's first goal:
"I saw the cross coming in and I saw [Dimitry Imbongo] making a near post run, so I tried to get myself there and make myself as big as possible, but I just got cemented to the ground."
On New England's second goal:
"I saw [Saer Sene] cutting in on his left, and he curled it. I had a decent push, but I was nowhere near it and I saw it hit the post and the cross bar and then the next thing I saw was [Diego] Fagundez heading it in. I didn't really see much on that one."
On the team's second-half performance:
"I think in the second half we didn't play badly. Of course, they scored two goals but I think we kept the ball more in the second half than we did in the first half. They snuck one in on us and it kind of goes back to that old story of, 'Oh, here we go again.' It didn't seem like we lost confidence though. These things happen sometimes."
D.C. United midfielder Dwayne De Rosario
On his match fitness:
"I just got back. If you're asking me, I want to play 90 minutes, 100 percent. But I haven't played in a while, so you try and get game fitness as you play. I tried to come in and spark the team and give an aggressive spark going forward and try to do what I can to help them out. Unfortunately, now we have to put this one behind us and look forward to next week—another home game, and like I said, every chance I get, I'm going to out there and work my behind off."
On Luis Silva's performance:
"It's refreshing for me to see a player read that and play and move—to feel that and sense that he's there and wants the ball. I like that. I get giddy when players get that ball and can read that and he has that ability. He has that ability. You see the shot from outside the box. He had the opportunity to play it wide, and I told him since he got here: 'Stop looking to pass the ball, you've come here to score goals. You have the opportunity to strike the ball, strike it.' And he's done it two times and put the ball in the back of the net. It may not be me, but it's nice to see that confidence, that he could have laid it off to Nick [DeLeon] running wide, but he took the shot and it went in the back of the net. I love to see that confidence from an attacking player."
D.C. United midfielder Luis Silva
On his starting role:
"I'm very happy that the coach has given me the opportunity to start, and obviously it's my second game and my second start."
On working with Dwayne De Rosario:
"I think he's a fantastic player and he plays that position that I'm coming into very well. I'm trying to learn from him as much as I can and be aggressive like he is. He's been helping a lot."
On the team's second-half performance:
"I think we dropped off. We dropped off as a team, and obviously they came out, pushed numbers up and we just dropped off. I think we could have put our chances away in the first half and we didn't, and that affected us in the end."
On his midfield role against the Revolution:
"I had the freedom to come in the middle and stuff but I was trying to stretch out the field more because it was so crowded in there. Overall, I was happy."
On the difference between playing for Toronto FC and D.C. United:
"It's totally different. Over there, I was playing as a forward. Maybe sometimes they'd drop me back in the midfield, but here the coach is trying to give me the freedom to play as a number 10, which is my natural position, so it's totally different. I have the freedom to go anywhere on the field here, and, defensively, as long as we're organized I'm fine."
New England Revolution Head Coach Jay Heaps
On the game:
"We didn't have a good first half, to be very honest. We weren't following our gameplan. We weren't playing very well and it took a little bit of time at halftime to go over. But D.C. deserves some credit. They came out well. They came out playing. They were playing that 4-4-2, they were pushing high, and we had the ball but we weren't dangerous with the ball. I thought they did a nice job. There were great tactics from Ben [Olsen]. So, they did that a little bit but I thought we were able to make the right changes at the start of the second half and they gave us more opportunities."
On D.C.'s narrow defending:
"The last game that we played them, we went very narrow on them and it was a 0-0 draw. Part of our gameplan tonight was to get wide. In the first half we didn't do it well enough. But in the second half we really wanted to get [Chris] Tierney in some better spots. We switched Saer [Sene] to the other side to give ourselves a bit more width because he naturally wants to come in so we pushed him wider. We found the little gaps. I thought Dimitry [Imbongo] had a nice finish and Saer really should have had two goals."
On the impact of the equalizer:
"You've got to get back in the game and go from there. We just felt that if we play the way we want to play and how we know we can play. The game would change and we could get more opportunities and that's what happened. It doesn't always work that way, but I was glad that we had a full half. Sometimes you need to come in and have a word and I thought we did a good job and the guys reacted excellently."
On the response of his players to tactical changes at halftime:
"It's important when you can look each other in the eye and draw a little breath. When you get in the game, you've got to make the moves from the sideline and get the guys on the field to react. There's going to be times when you can't. So, when you come in you can take a breath, look at the shape, decide what we think is going to be strong. And that's our job, quite frankly, as a staff."
On the return of Revolution midfielder Kevin Alston:
"It was awesome. I thought he did great. He's exactly what we needed—a shot of energy. He's been great all week in training and up to this point in two weeks of training. He's been itching to get on the field and you could see when he came on he was like a shot out of a cannon."
On the impact of his return for the rest of the team:
"He's been around the longest, probably, with Darrius [Barnes] and Reisy [Matt Reis]. So, he's an old soul in our locker room and someone the guys lean on. You'd like to get a man into a situation where the game isn't so intense, but Kevin went in and did an excellent job."
On the need for patience with Alston's return to match fitness:
"We actually wanted to get him a game or two in Rochester, and like I mentioned when it came out, the story's unbelievable. But we needed a player and we needed an outside back, we needed cover and you saw how it changed tonight when we were able to get Chris [Tierney] up. It's an awesome story. I know he's going to make an impact on our team. It's almost like a signing and a lot of the players feel like we added a really excellent outside back."
On his relationship with Ben Olsen:
"I admire Ben. I think Ben was the one who opened the door for guys like us to coach for the team that they played for. Benny's got a great vision of what he wants the team to be. I think it's a tough situation, but if anyone can get them through it's Benny. He's not only dealing with what he's dealing with this year, but you can see the foundation he's building. I think the moves they've made for Luis Silva, who I think is an excellent player, and for Jared Jeffrey, who to me is going to be an excellent player in MLS. And obviously Conor Doyle who's here probably six months and they've got to make a decision. For me, those three key additions for the team are dangerous. I think we went through it a little bit last year and they're going through it a little bit this year. When you play younger players, you can build a good core and then you've got to let them get games and results aren't always predictable when you have a group that's coming together."
New England Revolution defender Kevin Alston
On how it felt to return to action:
"It felt unbelievable. I was excited to be on the pitch, but at the same time I was telling myself to not mess up. But it felt great."
On whether it was good to make a return in D.C.:
"It was…it was unbelievable. My parents were there, my brother was there, my grandfather was there, all my family and friends, so it made it special to be able to do it in front of them."
On his eagerness to play again:
"It's what I love to do and as soon as I got that green light I was training and thinking about getting back on the field and doing everything I can to help the team."
On returning to match fitness:
"I feel good. There's nothing like game fitness. So, that takes minutes in order to get that. However, my strength and fitness are night and day compared to how I felt before. Everything's completely different. I feel like I'm starting fresh and starting over. I feel like there's no weight on my shoulders. So, I feel a lot better."
On the context of the game when he entered:
"Like I said before, I knew what the situation was. So, don't mess up as we've got the lead. So, keep it."
On how much patience has been required:
"I've had to be very patient. There were a lot of unknowns. Even through the whole recovery process. I can't tell you how many times I'd go in for a doctor's appointment and think I was doing well, but have the doctor tell me my level was much lower. That was my fault for setting myself up for a fall like that, but a lot of patience was necessary because there was so much unknown. I didn't know how long it would be or what the recovery process would be."
On whether he had imagined this moment:
"I can't tell you how many times I've been laying in bed or in the shower just thinking about it and just playing."
On the support of his teammates:
"As soon as the game was over, everybody came over to congratulate me and I was trying my hardest not to cry, I was fighting tears. They've been supportive since the start and they showed it again tonight."
On if the return felt like a debut of sorts:
"It did. I had a lot of butterflies and I was really excited. It was almost like a renewed feeling."
On if he took some time to soak everything in:
"Once the final whistle blew. When we had just the one goal, I was focused on not losing the lead and that was it—to do whatever I could to play right now."
New England Revolution defender Andrew Farrell
On getting three points at D.C.:
"It's kind of like a playoff environment for us. It was a must-win. We beat Columbus [Crew] and we wanted to gain back some momentum. We have some home games coming up. But, you know, D.C. [United] is a good team. Their record doesn't show how good of a team they are. They got some new additions. Luis Silva is a good player. And Nick DeLeon, my former college teammate, he's a good player. They've got a lot of good pieces. It's just the results don't show what a good team they are. But, we didn't play good in the first half, 45-minutes, it was tough. We wanted to come out a lot better than that. We came out really flat, kind of like we did at Colorado. So, we were a bit nervous. But, you know, we felt like we still had 45 minutes to make up the game, to get a chance to take the plunge. In the second half we came out and reacted well. We got some good players and they showed what they could do tonight."
On what the message was for the second-half:
"Well, you know, we didn't have much to lose and had everything to gain. So, we just kind of came out and battled. Getting the second chances of people like Dimi [Dimitry Imbongo] and Chad [Barrett]. We were going to fight for everything. And then, you know, we just got to widen. The width was huge for us. You know, I didn't get as high as Chris [Tierney] did. When Chris goes out wide, he whips that dangerous ball in and we got an opportunity out of it."
On equalizing early in the second-half:
"It was huge. I don't even know how much more time we had after the goal. Like, 30-plus more minutes left in the game? And we went after it. We didn't want to get complacent with that goal. We thought we could win the game. And we came out and I think we showed that with the offensive guys. They did that and essentially we held them after they came back a little at the end of the game."
On the impact of good away form as they return home:
"It's always good to sleep in your own bed before a home game. The game's on Sunday as well, so we get a little extra rest. We like to play at home. We've got some guys coming back from injury, some guys that maybe with a little bit of rest can heal back up and get back out there. Every game right now is important. Every game is against an Eastern Conference opponent, so we've got to take advantage of that."
On the return of Kevin Alston:
"It's great. Ever since he was out, he always tried to come back into the locker room and then try and get back on the field. With a player like that who's a veteran, and for me as a rookie to see him work hard with what he's been going through is inspirational to me and it inspires all the guys. It's good to get him back on the field, he wanted to be out there and we're glad to have him. He's one of the premier outside backs in this league and we're glad to have him back and healthy."
New England Revolution midfielder Chris Tierney
On the game overall:
"We had a tough first half – poor giveaways that cost us. It got better toward the end of the first half. We made some great adjustments for halftime. D.C. was defending very narrow. We made the appropriate adjustments, created some chances and won the game."
On D.C. United's defending:
"The way that D.C. defends is super narrow, a lot of space on the flanks for me and Kelyn [Rowe] and a combination of the surface. Credit to them, they put us under pressure. So we knew we had to get the ball. We knew we had to defend it. Credit to the guys they made the adjustments. We started to move the ball better and we opened things up more."
On the New England attack:
"You have to keep moving on, getting balls into the box. I think we did a good job of that…so even if you don't win every time you have to respect it and get back pedaling and look elsewhere. That one play just happened to be what you have to do to get on the end of it."
On returning home:
"We're excited to get back home, for sure. Road trips are always tough, but outside from Colorado, this one was a good for us. We're happy with the last two results and, hopefully we'll roll that momentum into our home stand and start playing some better soccer on the turf and keep winning."
On the return of Kevin Alston:
"It was the best. It gave us all a boost. Obviously, everyone knows what he's been through. He's an inspiration for all of us. We all feed off the energy that he brings everyday. We're super proud of him. It's great to see him back and, hopefully, we'll see more and more of him. He's been in training and starting to look right. Same old Kevin. He's super athletic. He's working his butt off. We've seen him in training for a while, how eager he is to get back out. We're all really happy for him and we're a better team with Kevin in there, there's no doubt about it. He's an all-star and there is a reason for that. He is a great player. We get him back and he'll make us better."
