PST: Goodson the standout for US vs. Canada

There weren?t any stand out performances from the United States Men?s National Team on Sunday in Toronto. If they?d gotten one, they probably wouldn?t have had to settle for a disappointing 0-0 at BMO Field. The attack lacked creativity. The midfield, outnumbered for most of the night, failed to make an impact, while the defense did their job (keeping a clean sheet), albeit against a side that wasn?t too interested in maintaining any sustained pressure.

On a night like this, Man of the Match becomes a process of elimination. Who did anything that stood out? Cross off half the team. Amongst those that did something noteworthy, how many directly impacted the match? And how many players did something that was truly more than you?d expect from your run-of-the-mill player?

After that elimination process, Clarence Goodson?s name stood out, and until stoppage time, giving the Brondby defender the honor was a relatively easy choice. Then came the 92nd minute, when Dwayne De Rosario drilled a ball into the six from the line, right into a big gap where Goodson should have been. Simeon Jackson?s missed sitter kept the score 0-0, but the chance nearly ruined Goodson?s claim to a starting spot.

Then, one minute later, Goodson nearly made up for it. With the U.S. pressing for a winner, Goodson charged forward trying to keep the ball in the attacking third. Undercut while airborne, Goodson drew a nearly vital foul. Michael Bradley?s restart swung in to the edge of the six, where Goodson held off his man to drill a shot on goal. Lars Hirschfeld pushed the would-be winner over the bar.

Before the late match drama, Goodson had been as solid as Tim Howard and Clint Dempsey (other Man of the Match considerations). His work consistency breaking up half-chances at the back (8 clearances, 3 recoveries, 3 tackles, one block and one interception) may have given him the edge. The same could be said about his efforts one-on-one against Jackson after the Norwich City attacker came on the 65th minute. Even then you wonder if Goodson could have done more on Jackson?s 68th minute chance, when Jackson was allowed to take aim at the upper-right hand corner from 22 yards out. Neither Goodson nor Bocanegra were able to put in a challenge.

It wasn?t a perfect night, yet Goodson was still one of the U.S.?s best, and when a performance like that wins your team?s Man of the Match, you?re probably a little lucky to get to the final whistle with a 0-0. But that?s a team concern. Individually, despite not playing in against Scotland and Brazil, Goodson may have done enough to vault to top of Jurgen Klinsmann?s right-center half pecking order.

Property market waits for frozen credit to thaw | SaigonMoney.com ...

Capital depletion and frozen credit are posing many problems for all economic sectors, and people hope that once bad debts are resolved and credit is defrosted, it would help revive the economy, including the property market.

Settling bad debts

Tackling capital depletion and frozen credit is a critical issue at present, said Le Xuan Nghia, former vice chairman of the National Financial Supervision Committee, at the seminar called ?Reviving real estate resources? held by Lao Dong newspaper last Thursday in HCMC.

He said the Government had never paid so much attention to the property market as they do now. If the Government?s solutions show effect, the realty market will gradually recover in line with the economy.

Like other sectors, the property market is waiting for the bailout package for enterprises. Particularly, property is no longer classified as a market where loans are discouraged and real estate firms will enjoy one-year extensions of value-added tax, corporate income tax, land rent and land use fee.

However, even when debt repayment is extended and lending rates are lowered, nothing will be solved if enterprises are unable to take out new loans. As such, settling bad debts is an important issue now, Nghia underscored.

The economic expert described bad debts as a car that breaks down in the middle of the road and disrupts traffic flow. Therefore, that car must be pushed off the road, he stressed.

The Government estimated some VND120 trillion, or US$6 billion, would be needed to remove bad debts from balance sheets of banks, and then enterprises would be qualified to take out new loans.

According to Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Tran Nam, apart from the government bonds, accelerating disbursement for public investment will also promote the property market.

Saving themselves

However, Nam said property companies must take measures to overcome their own difficulties. In addition, they have to look at the market to develop projects in accordance with their capabilities.

At a seminar on finding a way out for property firms organized by the HCMC Real Estate Association (HoREA) last week, participants shared the view that enterprises must save themselves, even take the initiative to leave the market before their business get worse.

Vu Dinh Anh, former deputy director of the Market and Price Research Institute under the Ministry of Finance, said Vietnam?s economy this year might repeat the same scenario in 2009, when it was greatly affected by the global financial crisis. Therefore, real estate enterprises cannot avoid the impacts of the macro-economy, as the property market cannot prosper when economic growth goes down.

Property credit makes up 10% of the total credit, or VND280 trillion. More notably, some 60% of the total credit is mortgaged by property or related to property, said Anh.

The problem of real estate companies is currently bank loans and lending rates. However, property developers have to answer what they borrow for, as owners of several projects are unable to sell their products.

Therefore, experts said enterprises should consider adjusting their business strategies in accordance with the current situation.

Poor liquidity is the key problem of the realty market at present, so enterprises are offering discounts to lure customers. For example, Hoang Anh Gia Lai has announced to cut their apartment prices by a half compared to the projects in HCMC?s District 7.

Anh noted enterprises are forced to discount their products, or pull out of the market when there is no chance left for them.

?Don?t be ashamed of your decision to withdraw from the market,? said Anh, adding that many foreign companies had left Vietnam?s market last year due to loss-making businesses. Still, not any property firm is able to withdraw from the market at present.

Do Thi Loan, vice chairwoman cum general secretary of HoREA, said many enterprises are still struggling with their projects, bank debts and unsold products, and thus it is impossible for them to escape from the market.

Tiger Woods win at Memorial shows he's ready for US Open

Tiger Woods' remarkable two-shot victory at the Memorial tournament on Sunday will have sent a few shivers down the spines of his rivals with the year's second major, the U.S. Open, just two weeks away.

Though no longer the dominant player he was in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Woods was excited to end a week of pin-point ball-striking at Muirfield Village, and bury memories of the worst three-tournament run of his professional career.

The 14-times major champion had tied for 40th at the Masters, missed the cut at the Wells Fargo Championship and finished joint 40th at the Players Championship in his three previous PGA Tour starts.

IN PICTURES: Tiger Woods through the years

Though Woods had triumphed at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in late March, his week-to-week form on the U.S. circuit had become highly unpredictable while he continued to fine-tune the fourth swing change of his career.

That all changed, however, in fluctuating weather conditions at Muirfield Village where he strung together rounds of 70, 69, 73 and 67 on a tough layout demanding precision off the tee and into the green, charging from four behind on the final day.

"I'm excited because of the way I hit the golf ball this week," Woods told reporters after clinching his 73rd PGA Tour victory with three birdies in the last four holes.

"I hit the ball really well. At Olympic we're all going to have to hit the ball great there," he added, referring to the June 14-17 U.S. Open to be played at San Francisco's Olympic Club.

"You can look at the history of guys who were in contention or who ended up winning there, all were wonderful drivers of the golf ball and good, solid iron players. That's what it's going to take there at Olympic, more so than most U.S. Open sites."

FOWLER PRAISE
American Rickie Fowler, Woods' playing partner in the final round at Muirfield Village, was hugely impressed by the former world No. 1's form on Sunday.
"The times where he's in the moment and in the heat of contention is where he really shines," said Fowler. "He looked very comfortable and hit a lot of good shots.

"I was just trying to stay out of the way kind of on that back nine. He was very in control of his game today. He was hitting his (yardage) numbers. There weren't very many shots that were very far off."

A three-time U.S. Open champion, Woods has not won a major title since his astonishing playoff victory in the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines where he triumphed despite a double stress fracture in his left leg.

Ever since his private life imploded at the end of 2009, he has been a shadow of his former self out on the course but Sunday's victory offered the first real sign that he may have regained full control of his swing.

"The only shot I tugged, double crossed, was the second shot on 10," Woods said, referring to his bogey at the par-four 10th where he dumped his approach into a greenside bunker.

"Other than that, every shot was exactly the shape, the trajectory, the distance control. I had it all today, shape off tees, whatever club I wanted to hit, I could hit.
"That was fun to have it when I needed it."??? ?(Editing by Julian Linden)

Making the Home Senior Friendly | Find Senior Living and Elder ...

It?s a simple fact ? most seniors want to stay in their own homes for as long as possible. The problem is, as we become older we may require some help to stay safe and secure in our homes. There are some things that can be done to add more stability to our homes. Adding these options will not only help the seniors stay safe but will also give you and your loved ones peace of mind if the senior is ever alone.

Protection and Security

Alarms are becoming more and more popular. They are used in a number of ways and aren?t simply for keeping burglars away. Alarms are very easy to use and some can even be used with remote controls. A home alarm system will protect the home from potential burglars.? A burglary occurs about every 16 seconds in the United States. That frightening statistic helps you realize that an alarm is certainly a helpful tool to keep you and your possessions safe. Burglars may target homes with older individuals because older adults can be more vulnerable. To prevent an incident from occurring, investing in a home alarm system to be installed may be worth the money.

• Medical Alert

A medical alert is a useful life-saving tool that is rather inexpensive. The device is offered by a number of different companies.

Realize that you do face new and different concerns by choosing to live in your home as an older individual. Take advantage of all the available options to ensure your safety and health.

Moving to a Safe Environment
