Writing a bill for your state legislature is one way for concerned citizens or groups to have a direct impact on government. While citizens or organizations cannot introduce a bill – only a legislator can do that – writing a bill is a good way to begin the legislative process. What you write can affect the way state senators or representatives make decisions. The more preparation you put into a bill before presenting it to legislators that you want to sponsor it, the more likely they will be to help with your cause.
Research Existing Legislation
Research any previous legislation on the issue that is the subject of your bill. This could include laws in your own state, laws in other states, and federal laws regarding similar issues. For example, a law in one state banning the sale of fireworks might be a model for a similar law in your state. If you do find laws in other states similar to the law you want, try to find out how effective such laws have been.
Find Relevant Background Information
Look up background information pertaining to your issue. For example, if you wanted to write a bill to provide incentives for keeping businesses in the state, relevant background information might include unemployment rates, corporate taxes and data about businesses moving out of the state.
Contact Lawmakers to Sponsor Your Bill
Contact several lawmakers who might be willing to sponsor your bill. In state legislatures, many bills that are introduced never even get voted on by either of two houses of the legislature. Many bills never get out of committee and get to the floor of either house.
The more sponsors you can get, the better the chances that the bill will be treated seriously, recommended by committees, put to a vote by the full state Senate and the full lower house (which in most states in called the House of Representatives) and passed into law.
Begin with the Preamble
Begin the bill with a preamble, briefly explaining the reasons behind the bill. Since a bill should be presented as a legal document, clauses should begin with "Whereas," followed by the reason.
Write the Body of the Bill
Write the body of the bill. This should be broken into sections, with each section outlining a specific provision of the bill. For example, the first section might be the name of the bill, and each section that follows it would be a single piece of the bill.
Finish with an Enactment Clause
Finish the bill with an enactment clause, which can be a section of the body of the bill. This states when the bill would take effect if it is passed.
Before you start writing your bill, get some copies of existing bills before the legislature to give you some ideas on how to structure you bill and what sort of wording to use.
Before offering your bill to potential sponsors, you might want to show it to someone who knows a lot about the legislative process and who knows a lot about your state legislature. Such a person should be able to give you helpful advice.

Tell Me Mr. Gates….How Can You Lift the Ban After This?
Please Mr. Gates, tell me how you can continue forward with your plan to lift the ban after visiting Dover and having, as your press release notes: "…. very moving experience …"?
Gates Pays Respects to Fallen Servicemembers at Dover
By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 17, 2009 – Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates traveled to Dover Air Force Base, Del., last night to pay his respects to four servicemembers killed recently in Afghanistan, a senior Pentagon official said here today.
Gates "wanted to personally honor the sacrifice" of the three soldiers and one airman who died last weekend in a roadside bomb attack near Jalalabad, Afghanistan, Press Secretary Geoff Morrell told reporters.
Jalalabad is located between the Afghan capital of Kabul and the Pakistani city of Peshawar.
The secretary's visit to Dover last night "was a very moving experience for him," Morrell said….
There is more, of course. Go here and read the rest, and be SURE to read the comments. David, and two Gold Star Families, goes beyond my "ignorance" comment.
The insanity continues.

I was driving with an expired driving license and was pulled over in the state of Illinois. My situation was, I had applied for my H1B visa extension and was waiting for USCIS for the approval notice. I will explain my experience and why I got citation.
My Driving license expiration situation:
I had applied for H1B visa extension and I did not get approval notice until last day of expiration. The expiration date on my license was exactly the date of my H1B visa expiration. It reflected the I94 date which is in turn tied to H1B visa expiration date. Anyways, what I knew from my friends experience was, they do not renew license without having H1B extension approval notice. This rule varies by state; at least in our state they do not extend your license without H1B extension. Bottom line, I did not had a choice to renew my license other than wait for extension approval notice to come in mail. I just took a chance and was driving, I was pulled over just on 4th day after expiration…I was pulled over in other state when I was doing a road trip.
Traffic Citation Severity, Court presence and Police officer Bail. Why NOT to drive ?
The police officer told me that as I was driving with an expired driving license, if I was in my own state(state where my license was issued), then my license would have been taken away and I would have been taken to jail(worst case scenario) and then someone should come and bail me out. In fact, driving with an expired license in state of Illinois is a criminal or quasi-criminal offense. Anyways, because I was out of state, the officer belonged to out of state too, that law could not be exercised and I was let go with a citation of $75 and court appearance required. In fact, the citation says, it is a criminal or quasi-criminal offense and I was bailed out with an eye bond and was given 30 day grace period. I had to sign on the bail form that, I was bailed on the rule that, I will not commit the offense again and I will abide by the rules. What it means is that, I cannot drive from then onwards until I get the renewal of license. Anyways, luckily I had my friend with me and the officer took my friend's Driving license and ran a check and told that my friend should drive and I should not.
My assumptions about driving license expiration in USA :
What I knew was, I had an expired driving license from USA and I knew that I cannot really fly anywhere because at airport they might ask me for valid ID. But, what I did NOT know was, it was illegal to drive with an expired license. I assumed that it is Ok to drive with an expired driving license. Also, I assumed that there would not be any option from the DMV based on my friends feedback. In all reality, every state is different and some do give extension of Driving license if you have the H1B application receipt notice and then employer letter. So, I should have checked. Because of my assumptions I paid the price.
What you should do if your license is expired and you are waiting for H1B
If you are in this complex H1B extension and driving license expiration situation, few options:
- Go to DMV with the original receipt notice of H1B and explain the situation. You may have to go with your employer letter too. There is an option here depending on the state. Some say in California, you can renew by mail and they just give extension. Some states do not renew, it is their discretion and policy…
- Another option is, you may contact home country and get an international driving license (If you already had one)
- If you know that other state does give extension of driving license with your kind of situation, you may consider options to get license from that state. This can be tough, but if you are a consultant and visit many states and have multiple locations changing, it may work…
- This is the last option, do not drive and take taxi, Uber or Lyft…I know it can be hard, imagine it is a criminal offense if you get caught. One of the people I know got away for 4 months with expired license, but I my bad luck knocked me door on 4th day…
To summarize, I got this citation because of the dumb reason that "I did not know ( I assumed I would be ok to drive with expired driving license, but it was not true) and I was too lazy to inquire about my options before expiration ( I did not call DMV and ask for my options)" . You should NOT do this mistake and end up in trouble like me.
I had a bad experience with speeding too, read my speeding mistake experience: Why NOT to Drive over speed limit in US ? Ticket, License, Insurance impact ?
Did you end up in any situation with expired Driving License ? Does your state renew license without approval notice and just application receipt from USCIS, when it is pending ? Share our experience…

Co-operative securities regulator gets frosty response from Alberta, Quebec
OTTAWA — The federal, Ontario and British Columbia governments plan to establish by 2015 a co-operative securities regulator based in Toronto, a move decades in the making but still facing opposition from provinces such as Quebec and Alberta.
The announcement Thursday also sparks new legal questions, after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 2011 that the federal government's proposed legislation for a national regulator overstepped its constitutional authority.
Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, Ontario's Charles Sousa and B.C.'s Michael de Jong hope that creating a co-operative capital markets regulator will ultimately lead to a single national watchdog for securities such as stocks, bonds and other investments.
"I expect that a number of the other provinces and territories fairly quickly will climb on board and accept this proposal," Flaherty said. "It's in their self-interest, I would think, to do so and not be left behind."
What's the issue?
There are currently 13 separate bodies in the provinces and territories to regulate securities such as stocks, bonds and other investments, creating what the federal government says is an inefficient "patchwork" system.
Canada is the only major industrialized country in the world without a national regulator. The federal government has for years been looking to create a single national watchdog, but has been opposed by a handful of provinces that, emboldened by the Supreme Court ruling, say securities regulation falls under provincial jurisdiction.
What's proposed now?
The federal, Ontario and British Columbia governments plan a co-operative regulatory system for Canada's capital markets, operational by July 1, 2015, and are asking all provinces and territories to participate. Ontario and B.C. are home to about two-thirds of Canada's capital markets.
How would it work?
The regulator would have one set of rules and be based in Toronto, with regional regulatory offices established in each participating province. The federal government will provide transitional funding to provinces and territories that lose net revenue by moving to the system.
Participating provinces would have to adopt legislation relating to their securities regulation, and complementary federal legislation would address criminal matters, systemic risks in capital markets and national data collection. The common regulator would administer both provincial and federal legislation.
Why does all this matter? How does it affect me?
The three governments say a common securities watchdog is part of modernizing Canada's capital markets and would: increase Canadian competitiveness; attract more investment to the country; better protect Canadians investing their money; protect the financial system from systemic risks; and improve efforts to fight white-collar crime.
Canadians lose millions of dollars every year from investment and securities fraud, with crimes such as Ponzi schemes and insider trading increasingly difficult for authorities to investigate.
Flaherty says the RCMP currently "struggles" in combatting white-collar securities crime in the current patchwork system. The new regulator would provide more resources and expertise for police to investigate cases and prosecute securities fraud, he says. The federal government is planning amendments to the Criminal Code to help the RCMP.
Why now?
The federal and provincial governments have been battling over securities regulation since the 1930s, with Flaherty having spent more than seven years as finance minister fighting for a national securities regulator. Announcing the agreement now gives the federal government time to win support of the provinces and move on the initiative before the 2015 federal election. And it puts it squarely in the realm of debate before a federal-provincial finance ministers' meeting in Quebec City next week.
What are the legal questions?
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in 2011 that Ottawa's proposed legislation to form a national securities regulator was unconstitutional, although the top court agreed the federal government does, indeed, have some oversight of securities regulation.
The Conservative government argued that control over securities fell under federal jurisdiction through its power over trade and commerce, but the top court ruled that oversight for the investment industry falls under the "property and civil rights" powers assigned to the provinces in the Constitution. However, the court also acknowledged federal jurisdiction over such matters as systemic risk.
What do other provinces and the federal opposition parties say?
Quebec Finance Minister Nicolas Marceau said Thursday the proposed co-operative securities regulator is "unacceptable," while Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Alexandre Cloutier said Quebec won't hesitate to go to court to fight "this new offensive launched by the federal government."
The Alberta government, along with several other provinces, said it only learned of the announcement on Thursday and was surprised it wasn't consulted before the proposal was unveiled.
Alberta Premier Alison Redford said provinces have jurisdiction over the issue and that a number of concerns would likely have to be resolved before her province would ever participate in any common regulator. Alberta has maintained a provincial securities regulator is needed to protect its oil and gas industry.
"We're not going to allow any other jurisdictions, including the federal government, to impose a system on us that won't be in the best interests of Albertans," Redford said.
The Saskatchewan and Manitoba governments, which were also surprised by the move, say they will take time to review the proposal.
Federal NDP Leader Tom Mulcair assails Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government for proceeding with a new securities regulator without agreement from the provinces.
"In areas of shared jurisdiction, a primary role of the federal government is to sit down and work with the provinces to find common solutions. Unfortunately, Mr. Harper has chosen to fuel conflicts between various jurisdictions," Mulcair said in a statement Thursday.

MIAMI (CBSMiami.com) – Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale International Airport have been out front in using full body scanners for security.
Now the question is will that change after the European Union announced it has banned X-ray body scanners until more research can be completed to ensure there is no cancer risk from the machines.
In the United States, officials continue to declare the scanners completely safe. Currently, 250 body scanners are in place at American airports.
The Transportation Security Administration is so confident in the scanners that it may cancel a congressionally requested study on the health safety of the body scanners, according to CNN.
PBS' Newshour, in conjunction with ProPublica, found earlier this year that the minimal radiation from scanners could potentially cause up to 100 extra cancer cases per eyar.

Plus-Sized Yoga
Book Description
Yoga has been practiced for more than five thousand years, and close to eleven million Americans are enjoying its health benefits currently. However, those who are not height/weight proportionate have been excluded from trying yoga to improve all aspects of their lives. Unfortunately, there are very few yoga classes that are geared toward those who are plus-sized. After clearly explaining the components of Kundalini Yoga and how to practice yoga and meditation at home, the book then details nine postures, seven yoga sets, and eight meditations. Guidance is provided on possible challenges the plus-sized might experience. There are even short (three-minute) meditations for those who don't have time to meditate. Those with smaller waists will also find the material in this book helpful. All this is done with lightness and humor while still being true to all elements of yoga.
Book Review
I really loved this book. First off, the book is big with huge print. This is great when you are trying to figure out the poses. You can have it open in front of you and be able to read it without a problem.
Second, they really make you feel that no matter what size you are, no matter what age you are, and no matter your fitness level, you can do some form of each exercise.
There is a section that tells you if you are needing something specific (i.e. energy pick up, release tension, ease pain) which poses to work with. I thought this was great since we don't always have enough time in the day for a whole work out. Instead you can just focus on a few poses that are targeted to what you need at the moment.
The book also explains the different mantras that they use. It tells how to pronounce them. And as an added benefit, it tells you what they mean. So you aren't just saying sounds that have no meaning. You know the meaning and can put emotion to those meanings.

ELAINE CHRISTEN & a.v.FIESTA SHOWS, INC. & a.
Argued: May 11, 2017
judicial district
Abramson, Brown & Dugan, of Manchester (Jared R. Green on
the brief and orally), for the plaintiff.
Desmarais Law Group, PLLC, of Manchester (Debra L. Mayotte on
the brief and orally), for the defendant.
Elaine Christen, individually and as administrator of the
estate of Sophia Christen, appeals the order of the Superior
Court (Smukler, J.) granting summary judgment to
defendant Fiesta Shows, Inc. (Fiesta), on the ground that
Fiesta did not owe Sophia Christen a duty of care. We affirm.
trial court recited the following facts, set forth in the
light most favorable to the plaintiff. On May 3, 2013,
15-year-old Sophia attended a carnival operated by Fiesta in
a fenced-in area of the Ocean State Job Lot (Ocean State)
parking lot located on the western side of Manchester Road in
Derry. After Sophia and her friends shared cotton candy, they
began searching for a bathroom to wash their sticky hands.
The carnival had bottled water, napkins, and
"port-a-potties" equipped with hand sanitizer
dispensers, but it lacked public facilities with running
water. The girls decided to leave the carnival and search for
a bathroom.
there were two nearby restaurants located on the same side of
Manchester Road as the carnival, the girls decided to cross
Manchester Road to go to a Burger King. At the intersection
of the Ocean State access road and Manchester Road, the girls
found that the pedestrian crossing signal was inoperative,
but they decided to cross the road without the walk signal.
While crossing the road, Sophia was struck by a vehicle and
suffered fatal injuries.
one week before the carnival, Fiesta had contacted the Derry
Police Department to arrange for the presence of officers to
provide "general public safety" at the carnival.
Unlike organizers of other large events in Derry, Fiesta did
not instruct the officers to engage in traffic control,
pedestrian assistance, or other similar duties. One day after
the accident, at the suggestion of the Derry Police
Department, Fiesta arranged for additional police coverage to
direct traffic and assist with pedestrian crossing on
Manchester Road. Two days after the accident, two Fiesta
employees reported to a Derry police officer investigating
the signal that "they crossed the crosswalk regularly
and had never seen the pedestrian crossing signal
activate." (Quotation omitted.)
plaintiff brought a wrongful death action against Fiesta,
claiming negligence and also alleging that Fiesta's
conduct was wanton and reckless, entitling her to enhanced
compensatory damages.[1] Fiesta successfully moved for summary
judgment, asserting that it violated no duty of care owed to
Sophia. The plaintiff unsuccessfully sought reconsideration,
and this appeal followed.
appeal, the plaintiff argues that Fiesta "owed a common
law duty of care to Sophia" because it was
"foreseeable to Fiesta that customers with sticky
fingers, including unsupervised teenagers, would seek running
water, soap, and towels or a mounted blow dryer to
effectively wash the stickiness off their fingers" and
that Fiesta "should have expected that these customers .
. . would leave the amusement area . . . to go to a fast food
restaurant directly across from the entrance to the carnival
site" to wash their hands. (Capitalization and bolding
omitted.) The plaintiff also argues that, even if Fiesta was
not subject to a common law duty of care, Fiesta voluntarily
assumed such a duty by: (1) requiring in the company
"Safety Manual" that its employees report all
observed unsafe conditions; (2) hiring local police officers
to provide "general public safety"; and (3)
choosing to hold a carnival in Derry, "a town that
expressly mandated a Public Gathering License for such

Lake Livingston is a reservoir located in the East Texas Piney Woods. Lake Livingston was built and is owned and operated by the Trinity River Authority (TRA) of Texas under contract with the City of Houston for water-supply purposes.[1] The lake is the second-largest lake located wholly within the state of Texas (only the Sam Rayburn Reservoir is larger). The Livingston Dam, constructed across the Trinity River about 7 miles (11 km) southwest of the city of Livingston is 2.5 miles (4 km) in length and has an average depth of 55 feet (17 m).[2]
The lake construction was paid for by the sale of revenue bonds that were to be redeemed with income derived from the sale of water. The dam construction began in 1966 and was completed in 1969, by Forrest and Cotton, Incorporated. The cost to build the earthen dam was US$83,996,957.
Water stored in the lake is used to supply industrial, municipal, and agricultural needs in the lower Trinity River Basin and the Houston/Galveston metropolitan area. Its significance in the face of the extraordinary growth experienced by this region of the upper Texas Gulf Coast is tremendous. Many public and commercial recreation facilities, including full-service marinas, camping, and motel accommodations are located along the shoreline. The City of Houston owns two-thirds of the water rights of the lake, with the other third remaining under the control of the TRA.
The lake[edit]
The earthfill dam has a concrete spillway and was designed by Brown and Root, Incorporated (now KBR, Inc). The dam has a spillway crest elevation of 99 feet (30 m) above mean sea level. The average base width of the dam's earthen embankment is 310 feet (94 m) wide. The spillway is designed and constructed to pass flows of three times the maximum recorded flow of the river at this site.[2]
Lake Livingston has a surface area of 83,000 acres (360 km²) and impounds 1,750,000 acre feet (2.16 km3) of water at its normal pool elevation of 131 feet (40 m) above mean sea level. The average depth of the lake is 23 feet (7 m) with a maximum depth of 90 feet (27 m). Lake Livingston has more than 450 miles (700 km) of shoreline extending into San Jacinto, Polk, Walker, and Trinity Counties.[2]
Flood control[edit]
Lake Livingston was built with no flood-control or flood-storage capabilities, and because of this, all water entering the lake, whether it be from rainfall or inflow, must exit the lake as increased intake occurs. Flow through the dam is controlled by 12 tainter gates in a concrete and steel spillway that has an average depth of 55 feet. Operations of the spillway mirrors river flow, so within a relatively short period of time, increase of river flow, discharge is increased, and vice versa.
Hurricane Rita[edit]
On September 23, 2005, rain and winds from Hurricane Rita caused waves up to 4 feet (1 m) in height to pound against the Lake Livingston dam. As a result, 11,000 feet (3.4 km) of large protective stones, or riprap, were stripped from the upstream face of the dam. To repair the damage, the TRA lowered the lake's pool level by 4 feet to 127 feet, preventing any further erosion of the exposed earthen embankment. The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the City of Houston footed the $9.6 million repair bill and awarded the repair contract to Archer Western Contractors. Over the course of the repair, movement of 72,215 tons of 32-inch rock in 3,183 truckloads and 15,808 tons of 8-inch (200 mm) bedding rock in 687 truckloads was required. The rock was mined from a quarry in Navarro County near Corsicana. Work was largely completed by April 28, 2006, but due to severe drought, the lake's regular pool level was not reached until November, 2006.
During the 2017 Hurricane Harvey, Lake Livingston reached a level of 133.52 feet [3] above mean sea level and released 110,600 ft3 of water per second.[4]

The fourth Npower Test Match between England and the West Indies at Chester-le-Street has been abandoned due to lack of interest. Rain saved the sponsors' blushes as it came teeming down in usual fashion just before play was due to start, with the ground almost totally empty.
England already hold an unassailable 2-0 lead in the Series, and there has been little or no interest in the game. Only twelve tickets had been sold, and none of those lucky ticketholders was present at the time the umpires called it a day. A family of ducks was the only sign of life out in the middle, splashing playfully in a lake created by the deluge of rain.
The weather forecast for the weekend was better, but it was thought that, as the Windies could not change the outcome of the Series, there was no point in carrying on.
BBC Weatherman Daniel Corbett, who is mental, waved his arms wildly and contorted his face as he said:
"Mid wicket? Long on? Square leg umpire? It's all a load of bollocks to me, I'm afraid."
His colleague Helen Willetts who, by all accounts, is a bit of a 'goer', said:
"The rain will clear away, leaving bright spells and sunny intervals to end the day, but there will be absolutely no chance of any cricket, because it is boring."

Vodka is a distilled alcoholic beverage served on Earth.
In 2255 in the Kelvin timeline, Cadet James T. Kirk brought a bottle of Stolichnaya vodka to Viktor Tikhonov, his rival at Starfleet Academy. (TOS - Starfleet Academy novel: The Gemini Agent)
Vodka was one of Pavel Chekov's favorite beverages, and he took some good-natured ribbing from Montgomery Scott over his choice of drink. (TOS episode: "The Trouble with Tribbles")
In 2370, Q sipped vodka in a holographic representation of the Black Sea at Night aboard the USS Enterprise-D, while observing Deanna Troi and Worf. (TNG novelization: All Good Things...)
In 2375, Julian Bashir ordered a vodka martini while playing cards at a holographic casino belonging to Frankie Eyes. (DS9 episode: "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang")
- In the episode, Bashir ordered his drink "stirred, not shaken," which is a tribute to James Bond, who frequently orders a vodka martini "shaken, not stirred." It seems likely that the drink Bashir made for himself in "Our Man Bashir", an episode which borrowed many Bond themes, was also a vodka martini.

Dear Permanent Mission Delegates,
Smoking is one of the biggest public health threats in the world today, killing around 6 million people a year from lung cancer, heart disease and other diseases, according to a recent report from WHO. More than 5 million of those deaths are the result of direct tobacco use and more than 600,000 are the result of non-smokers being exposed to second-hand smoke. There is no such thing as a safe level of second-hand smoke.
In this regard, all delegates, staff and visitors to UN Headquarters are reminded of the strict no smoking policy mandated by the General Assembly in its resolution A/RES/63/8 and stipulated in ST/SGB/2003/9.
A designated exterior smoking area is available in the South Garden and signs showing the shortest route from the Secretariat lobby and the General Assembly and Conference Building main areas have been posted.
Unfortunately, some colleagues have not been adhering to the measures put in place. There has been smoking in the Rose Garden as well as other areas inside the buildings. This can create a major fire hazard with potentially serious ramifications for those identified as being in breach of the no smoking regulations.
We would note that there are air intakes which supply the ventilation systems of the Conference, General Assembly and Secretariat buildings along the walls on the South and West sides of the Rose Garden and any smoke in this area is drawn into the building; the second hand smoke being created therefore affects other colleagues. This is an unacceptable situation and there have been complaints from occupants throughout the complex including as high as the 5th floor of the Secretariat Building.
Smokers are kindly reminded they are not permitted to smoke in the Rose Garden or any other place in the buildings or on campus except the exterior designated smoking area in the South Garden, shown here.
The no smoking policy at headquarters is explained in ST/IC/2016/10.

RBNY Preview
With 3 Supporters Shields now to its name, RBNY still seeks the elusive cup
The Red Bulls were the best team in the regular season in 2018 and it was the third time the organization has achieved that feat. But does it have what it takes to finally win MLS Cup for the first time in its history? ASN's Mark Fishkin preview's the team's season
BY Mark Fishkin PostedTHREE SUPPORTERS Shields over six seasons, with three different coaches. Two straight runs to the Concacaf Champions League Quarterfinals. Nine straight postseason appearances. A US Open Cup Final appearance. The New York Red Bulls have put together as impressive a run as any this decade in Major League Soccer. The team's inability to reach, let alone win MLS Cup continues to drive the team that set a league record for points in a season, and best home record in 2018.
February 27, 2019
February 27, 2019
New York will compete for five trophies this year, and according the team leadership, the Red Bulls will be going hard after every one. Leveraging the club's vaunted development pipeline, in addition to shrewd international additions, provide depth to Chris Armas' roster and hope to the fan base that this will finally be the year.
Looking at the team on a unit-by-unit basis offers a look at why the Red Bulls feel confident heading into the year.
Luis Robles, Ryan Meara, Evan Louro
No changes to the stingiest goalkeeping core in the league, which held opposing attacks to less than a goal per game in 2018. Even when MLS Ironman Robles missed his first action since 2012 last season, Ryan Meara delivered, posting a 1.00 goals against average over a three-match stint in net.
The Big Question: Very few here. Meara, who's currently recovering from injury would be a starter on any other MLS side.
Kemar Lawrence, Tim Parker, Aaron Long, Amir Murillo, Connor Lade, Kyle Duncan, Sean Nealis, Amro Tarek
Credit to Red Bulls Sporting Director Denis Hamlett and management for signing Best XI defenders Long and Lawrence, as well as Tim Parker, to long-term contract extensions. The three, along with Panamanian International Amir Murillo, form the best backline in the league. Lawrence's injury absence in last year's Eastern Conference Finals was a big reason New York came up short.
The Jamaican's ability to make recovery runs are a crucial component to the Red Bulls' high pressing style. Connor Lade continues to do quality work as the first choice off the bench. Kyle Duncan was a great surprise at outside back in 2018 before injury ended his campaign. Tim Weah's cousin is back and healthy. Hofstra grad Sean Nealis is a centerback in the Red Bulls mold: rangy, quick, and physical. Amro Tarek is a strong depth player.
The Big Question: Can New York's second defensive team perform during the Gold Cup? With Lawrence and Murillo sure to play for their national teams, and Long (and possibly Parker) getting looks with the USMNT, The Red Bulls may be without their first four choices in the back for as many as six or seven league matches, including a rematch with Atlanta United on the same day as the Gold Cup final.
Kaku, Danny Royer, Alex Muyl, Sean Davis, Marc Rzatkowski, Florian Valot, Vincent Bezecourt, Crisitan Casseres, Jr., Derrick Etienne, Jr., Marcus Epps, Andreas Ivan, Omir Fernandez, Jean-Christophe Koffi, Ben Mines
New York's midfield corps is deep with a mix of proven internationals and homegrowns, and newcomers looking for minutes. Of course, the unit needs to make up for the departure of Tyler Adams, who's tearing up the Bundesliga. Savvy veteran Marc Rzatkowski will slide into his preferred position as a six/eight next to Sean Davis.
Teen Casseres Jr., who coaches have said is in the Adams mold, will push for minutes during schedule congestion. Kaku (at least until the Summer transfer window) and Danny Royer are locks to start, and Alex Muyl's defensive hustle will keep him on the right for now, The return from injury from 2018 revelation Florian Valot will put pressure on Armas to get on the field. Throw in Union castoff Epps, RB2 callup Bezecourt, and homegrowns Etienne, Jr., Fernandez, Koffi, and Mines, and, and there's a lot of talent without enough of slots with the first team. 2018 addition Ivan nabbed his first Red Bulls goal in the CCL on Wednesday night.
The Big Questions: Is Casseres, Jr. ready to assume Adams' role? When will be given the chance? Can Muyl hold onto his starting spot? Who will drive the attack if Kaku is sold midseason? Can Armas keep the second group happy with USL minutes until called on? If Kaku isn't sold over the summer, can he stay focused on delivering New York the Cup?
Bradley Wright-Phillips, Brian White, Mathias Jorgensen
New York's all-time leading scorer will continue his climb up the league chart, and will benefit if Royer and others can find the net regularly. Brian White will see minutes off the bench, but the largely untested teen Jorgensen will be fascinating to watch. While New York has plumbed Central and South America for teen talent (see Casseres, Jr., Alan Yanes with RB2), a young European player flying west to MLS for development is something new. Call it the Adams effect.
The Big Questions: Will BWP continue his unmatched scoring consistency? What does Jorgensen have to show?
The Schedule
New York starts the MLS slate with a gift from the league. After visiting Columbus on Saturday, the Red Bulls have 2018 also-rans San Jose, Orlando, Chicago away, and Minnesota before visiting fellow CCL combatant Sporting KC, then New England away and Cincinnati. Despite juggling the CCL at the same time, New York could finish April with five or six wins.
The reckoning will come over the summer, with a trip to Atlanta and NYC at home on back-to-back weekends, with a trip to Toronto three days later. The Red Bulls have a legitimate beef with the scheduling office, with both Rivalry Week matches away (at DCU, at NYC) over a four day span in late August.
New York finishes out the schedule with a double dip in Cascadia (at SEA, at POR), then the Union at home for three matches in eight days. After hosting DCU, the Red Bulls will spend Decision Day in Montreal.
New York is a veteran side that returned ten of eleven starters. The side became the first team in the CCL era to win knockout ties in successful years. Should their key players stay healthy, the Red Bulls will once again contend for the Shield. Fans, however, want the MLS Cup.

Feel Free to Get Your Teeth Out of My Ass
You know I'd rather walk a mile on my tongue than complain, but...
I've been trying to get a roof put on my house since April. I still don't have one. He has until the 31st to get one on or I get the money back that I paid him for the supplies. What do you suppose the odds of that are, huh? What do you want to bet I find myself in small claims court in November? You want to put some money on the date my insurance company decides to drop me for not having the roof done?
See, that's the way my luck runs. I get fucked over at every turn.
I'm the kind of person that gets into a line at the grocery store only to find that it's the slowest line in the store. I'm the gal that goes in to buy a sale item just to find out the the guy in front of me bought the last one, and no they won't be getting any more or issuing any rain checks, so sorry. I'm the person who gets a hell of deal on a pellet stove only to find two years later that the price of pellets has skyrocketed...and good luck finding any come Spring!
I once brought my car into the shop for a simple state inspection. It was running great--needed an oil change, but other than that it was great. I go to pick it up and the guy tells me Bad News: you have a broken something or other. It won't pass inspection without it, and it will cost you more than the car is worth to repair it. I told him I'd get back to him and in tears called my FIL, who is a mechanic for the State of NH. I asked him if it was something he could maybe find me some after-market parts for...and there was a pause on the other end of the line.
"What did he say was broken?" I told him what the guy told me about the something or other.
"When you look at it, does it lean to the right at all?" Nope.
"When you drive it, does it pull to the right at all?" Not a bit. It runs fine.
"Then there's no way your something or other is broken. You wouldn't be able to drive the car if it was." Really. "Really. Take your car to another mechanic, don't even mention the something or other since it's not even part of a state inspection in the first place, and get your sticker. Chalk the 20 bucks up to knowing better than to patronizing that particular car place again." Which I did.
Would that that experience was the only time I've been upsold at a car place. Here's a lesson for you, folks (especially if you don't have a FIL who is a mechanic): if they tell you that you need something else done besides what you asked for, DON'T GET IT.
Just prior to sitting down and venting my spleen about Things That Don't Go My Way, I called my Sister. She shares my opinion that I'm probably out 900 bucks, and to quote Han Solo (not that she would), "I've got a bad feeling about this."
Sister just had some guys come and blow insulation into her old house. They came when scheduled, did the job on schedule, and did just what they said they'd do with no additional charges. I pointed out that it would never have happened for me.
She laughed. "No, they'd have stuck the hose in and blown the plaster clean off the wall. Or you'd open the cellar door and have insulation up to the top step."
Yeah, if they didn't skip town with my check and head for Florida.
So, feeling better having vented to Sister--as I often do--I sat down to tell all y'all about this, and I see the reflection of the Lowe's truck in the back window. It's sort of my nosy-neighbor-rearview mirror-early warning detection system. I turn around and look out the front window and see that it's probably Sister's new washing machine (front load, high efficiency, fucking nice) being delivered. Only I just hung up the phone with her and know she's not home yet. So I run next door like Gladys Kravitz and let the guys in. ("Abner! They're delivering the washer and she's not home! Abner! Are you listening to me? It's the WASHER!")
Long story short, not two minutes after they did their job swiftly and efficiently and an hour ahead of schedule, Sister pulls in. I explained that it's all in, and I made if official by putting my old Jane Hancock on the delivery slip.
Of course if the hoses detach and start spraying water everywhere, we'll know who to blame for that, won't we?
