The five best cities to be a chicken
<html>File photo by Erika Schultz/The Seattle Times Remember when we told you to avoid keeping backyard chickens? Sounds like some of you disagreed. Seattle landed on Redfin s , a list the online real estate brokerage drew up by analyzing home listings over the past three months that included chicken enclosures as a feature.

Contrary to assumptions, urban chicken owners don t necessarily own large plots, according to Redfin. (O)n average, listings with chicken coops have smaller homes and smaller lots, but larger price tags. It appears some buyers are willing to pay a little more for a home with a henhouse. Along with the Redfin survey comes stupid foodies and hipsters who can t cope for large numbers of abandoned urban chickens. Take away the gibes and it s mostly a reminder of . The usual don t-take-this-as-scientific-proof-survey-caveats: Redfin s analysis only looked at markets it covers nationwide, so it s not all-inclusive. The numbers weren t calculated per capita,Nike Browns 3 Weeden white Game Jerseys, which makes it all the more impressive that Ventura, , did so well against Seattle, which is nearly six times the size. Keeping all that in mind, we asked the Redfin folks what the worst place would be to be a chicken. The surprising answer by their metrics was San Jose,[2], which is to be chicken friendly. Other low scorers were Las Vegas, Boston, and Miami.

Hernandez, Iwakuma both make American League All
<html>Felix Hernandez in front of Michael Pineda at 2011 All-Star game in Phoenix. Photo by Getty Images CLARIFICATION: I was wrong when I said Iwakuma couldn t pitch in the All-Star Game if he pitched the Sunday before. According to the Sunday Pitcher Rule put into last collective bargaining agreement, it is the pitcher s choice,New Kids on the Block charm faithful fans, but he can t work more than one inning. Here is the rule: ii) Sunday Pitcher Rule. Any starting pitcher elected or selected to the All-Star team who makes a start on the Sunday immediately preceding the All-Star Game (“Sunday Pitcher”) shall have the option to participate or not participate in the All-Star Game. If such starting pitcher elects to participate in the All-Star Game, he will not be permitted to pitch for more than one inning, and he may also inform his manager that he should be removed from the game if he reaches a certain pitch count (irrespective of whether he has completed one inning), provided such pitch count is reasonable. If a Sunday Pitcher who was originally named to the team elects not to participate in the All-Star Game, he will be replaced on the roster but treated in the same manner as other All-Stars who are excused from participation, and he will be encouraged to attend and be announced at the All-Star Game. The Mariners this season have had the rare benefit of dual aces, and now they’ve both been rewarded with All-Star berths. Felix Hernandez was named to the American League squad for the fourth time in six years (one of the omissions, interestingly, coming in his Cy Young 2010 season), while Hisashi Iwakuma is a first-time selection. Both were among the eight pitchers chosen for the squad in a vote of American League players. The Mariners haven’t had multiple pitchers on the All-Star team since 2011, when Hernandez, rookie Michael Pineda and reliever Brandon League all made it. Iwakuma is the third Mariners’ pitcher from Japan to make the team, following relievers Kaz Sasaki (2001,Got visitors- Want a getaway- Get a Washington tourism guide,Giants 30 Orlando Cepeda grey Jerseys, 2002) and Shigetoshi Hasegawa (2003).

If that happens, MLB rules dictate he may opt to be replaced on the American League roster, or be limited to one inning.? Iwakuma would still attend the game at New York’s Citi Field and go through all the festivities and be introduced with the team. Iwakuma has the lowest ERA in the American League (2.60),New York Knicks 17 LIN green Jerseys, followed by Hernandez at No. 2 (2.69). Iwakuma also has the lowest WHIP in the AL (0.88) to go with a 7-4 record. Hernandez is 8-4 and ranks fourth in the AL with 130 strikeouts. Iwakuma s chances seemed to have dimmed with a stretch of four starts in which he went 0-3 with a 5.54 ERA to raise his ERA from 1.79, but his body of work over 18 starts prevailed.</html>
Kasey Keller to fill in as goalkeeper coach for the USMNT in
<html>Sounders FC broadcaster Kasey Keller was serving as an assistant goalkeeper coach to Tommy Dutra in Tuesday s practice. Keller, a goalkeeping legend in American soccer, had a reason behind it he s going to serve as goalkeeper coach for the U.S. men s national team starting in the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals. USMNT coach Jurgen Klinsmann called in the favor after goalkeeping coach Chris Woods left the national team for Manchester United. Keller talked about the news after practice,State office can investigate suspiciously high tow fees Hawaii News, Honolulu, H, and here is a transcript:
- ???? *???? *
(What led to you doing some work here as a goalkeeper coach?) For me it was a little favor, just because Klinsmann asked me if I could come in and (coach the goalkeepers) for the quarterfinals through the finals of the Gold Cup. I needed to kick a few balls before I did that so my leg didn t fall off when I got in there. But it s cool. They let me come out and help Tommy out for a few days, hopefully get in a little bit of shape for when I go out to serve with the national team. (What does the opportunity mean for you?) It s nice. It s nice to be asked. The club was very accommodating. I have to miss a couple of games obviously and they thought it was cool. So it s a little tricky timing-wise, and I hate having to miss games with the Sounders, but the national team is the national team, and that s kind of the way the club felt. I said, It s up to you guys. I m happy whatever. If you don t want me to do it, I m happy not to do it, because obviously I have a commitment that I ve made. But it worked out for everybody, so it s nice. Like I said, I spent a lot of time with the national team and it s nice to kind of give back a little bit.
(Do you have much of an existing relationship with Klinsmann?) Yeah, we ve known each other for years. Not a super close relationship,Chicago Bears Sideline Legend Authentic Logo T-Shirt Black, but we ve certainly known each other. Obviously I see him a lot when I m broadcasting with ESPN, and it was just something that s it s a little tricky situation with Chris Woods as the goalkeeping coach and now at Man. U. Sometimes in these circumstances Jurgen needs a little bit of help, and like I said, it s an honor to be asked. (Do you hope this turns into a more permanent gig?) No, not really. It s what it is. Like I said, I was happy to help out Tab with the under-20s,Dragons split two against Bowling Green_0, and for example, with the under-20s, you don��t miss a game. For the full national team it s a little bit different ball game. It s a little interesting on that side of it. It s nice being involved with the national team programs when it works, and this is just one of those situations that we re making it work, put it that way. (So the coaching itch isn t growing?) I mean, like I said, I enjoy coaching. I enjoy helping it out,Game thread- Mariners 10, Red Sox 4; bottom of 8th, but right now I m very happy with my broadcasting and I ve got a couple years left on that contract. I m happy to keep pursuing that. (When was the last time you kicked a ball?) It was with the under-20s, and so that was I don t know how long ago now 10 weeks ago. Before that it was probably six months before that. I m not worried about the ability. I m just worried about fatigue and after three, four days my leg falling off. So I want to just get a little bit of work it and make sure that I m able to perform for the guys on the national team. (Was Hahnemann heckling you?) Marcus, he can t even stay fit. Did I ever get injured when I was here? And I m older than he is. (Did you get hit in the head a few times?) Once or twice, but I m all right. (And you ll be staying how long again?) Quarterfinals through the final or whenever they get knocked out, so hopefully (through) the final. (What it like coaching your former teammates and replacement?) It s nice. It was fun to come back out and be back a part of the team a little bit. But like I said, just a couple days. It s always nice to be out. I ve been close to everybody still through the broadcasting ties and seeing everybody. Little bit different, but still fun as long as they don t make me put any gloves on. (So you didn t get the itch to come out of retirement?) Absolutely not. To kick a ball? Yeah, I hope so. If I forgot how to kick a ball,Washington Capitals Youth Customized Red Jersey, I m in a lot of trouble. But no moment to say I need to go out there and be diving around at all. (So if the injuries start to pile up ) No, hopefully they have a lot better options. (Shut down the Brett Favre talk?) Yeah, shut it down. Stop printing the jerseys.</html>
