Coaching transitions – hopefully will conclude the seven game winless streak. Cobi Jones will be stepping in as the interim coach.
The strongest players on the LA Galaxy are forwards: David Beckham and Landon Donovan.
Ruud Gullit has resigned as coach of the slumping Los Angeles Galaxy for personal reasons, and president/general manager Alexi Lalas also is out of a job.
The Galaxy play Chivas USA on Thursday night (Aug. 14).
According to the study, nearly 50% of internet users use search engines like Google or Yahoo on a daily basis – substantially more than the number of people who check news (39%) or the weather (30%). While search still falls behind Email use, which holds steady at 60%, it is showing significantly more growth. In the six year span between January 2002 and May 2008, search use increased by 69%, while Email use grew only 15% during the same period.
I=PAT is
the size of the population (P) is multiplied by the average affluence or consumption per individual (A), and that in turn is multiplied by some measure of the technology (T) that services and drives the consumption. Thus commuting in automobiles powered by subsidized fossil fuels on proliferating freeways creates a much greater T factor than commuting on bikes using simple paths or working at home on a computer network. The product of P, A, and T is Impact (I), a rough estimate of how much humanity is degrading the ecosystem services it depends upon.
This is a very well written and extremely thought provoking article on overpopulation and overconsumption. It is worth your time to read.
The game grew on me and I did enjoy playing it. There were FAR FAR too many cut scenes though. It was more watching a movie than it was playing a game. When done, it said that I had played the game for over 18 hours, I think it is more accurate to say that I played the game for three hours and watched movie clips for 15. I will be playing the game again, and happily skipping through the cut scenes. The bad part is you get points for watching the cut scenes. I think they are a huge waste of time. When I want to play a game, I don’t want to watch a movie. I think that Uncharted did a much better job of incorporating the cut scenes into the game than MGS4 did.

“We have water,” said William Boynton of the University of Arizona, lead scientist for the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer, or TEGA. “We’ve seen evidence for this water ice before in observations by the Mars Odyssey orbiter and in disappearing chunks observed by Phoenix last month, but this is the first time Martian water has been touched and tasted.”
