There’s a perception I think that exists that soccer is more of a progressive sport than some others. Does that hold true in the locker room?

I think you typically know where players stand. Every political engagement that I’ve ever seen in the locker room has been respectful. Ultimately, you’ve gotta see these guys the next day – it’s not like you can get on Twitter and fire off “you’re an idiot” [at your teammate.]

I don’t think it’s any different than the rest of society, which is normally about 50-50. Everyone always asks about “the locker room.” It’s a reflection of society in every way. We have immigrants on our team, foreign guys on our team, we have dyed-in-the-wool Americans on our team, we have Canadians on our team. It helps you get better perspective in terms of where your political leanings might fall, but at the same time it’s always different.

I wonder how much thought you’ve put into what you’d like to do after your playing days end – hopefully later than sooner.

I think about it. Like you said, hopefully it isn’t any time soon. But even while playing in Charlotte, in USL, I’ve worked before. I know what that looks like, I know a little bit of the direction I’d go. I want to be involved with the game. I think the growth of the game is going to lead to a lot more opportunities in terms of jobs, leadership positions. More media, I think. I haven’t really honed in on what exactly – like an exact role – but I know I want to be involved with soccer in some capacity.

You just said, “I’ve worked before.” That’s interesting. I wonder if you think there’s a perception of athletes that they can’t do anything else – that the question isn’t “what would you like to do after you’re done playing,” it’s more “man, what is this guy gonna do after he’s done playing?”

That perception exists. With MLS, I’d say we have the most educated player base out of the major sports because most of our domestic players are going to college. That’s certainly changing, but there is that perception, the perception that right now this isn’t a job, that we go out there and we play a game. In some respects that’s true, but it’s still a job. We have to show up at a certain time, we have expectations that are attached to our job, performance reviews basically. It is a job. It’s just the most fun job you’ll ever have. That’s what I tell young guys. If you’re not having fun out there, I mean – this is the peak level of fun in your work career. You’ll never have a job that you enjoy as much as this.

So you have these other interests – writing, you’re obviously a multi-layered human being. Is it tough to balance that stuff with playing?

It’s more of an outlet. One of the things I’ve learned is that writing certainly isn’t something I see as an actual career, where I have an editor and I crank out [a certain] amount of pieces per week. That doesn’t really give me pleasure in that respect. It’s more so when I have something to say and feel strongly about it, I get on my computer and type something up. And sometimes it’s not even something that I might publish – it’s just something I write to get down and see what it looks like. I think it’s definitely become different for me with all the different things you have to think about as a pro when you’re writing. You realize you don’t have to jump into every single debate or issue or whatever it is, because sometimes it’s just not worth it. Especially on Twitter.<\|endoftext\|>President-elect Donald Trump and Carrier have reached a deal that will keep nearly 1,000 factory jobs in Indiana, the company said on Tuesday.

Carrier poses an early critical test for Trump, who promised during the campaign to keep American jobs from fleeing to Mexico.

Trump and Mike Pence, the vice president-elect and current governor of Indiana, will be in Indiana on Thursday to announce the deal, Carrier said.

The company, which is owned by defense contractor United Technologies, announced in February that it would close two Indiana plants -- a Carrier plant in Indianapolis that employs 1,400 workers and a United Technologies Electronic Controls plant in nearby Huntington, Indiana, that employs 700.

Carrier did not elaborate on the terms of the deal, but it is on the record, as are most other major multinational businesses, as wanting to see a cut in corporate tax rates, especially as it applies to cash earned overseas.

The fate of the more than 400 remaining jobs in Indianapolis was not immediately clear. Nor was it clear whether the 700 jobs at the Huntington plan would be saved.

The company planned to send that work to Mexico starting next year, a move that would have saved it $65 million a year in labor costs, according to the union that represents the workers.

United Technologies is a leading defense contractor that benefits from billions of dollars in federal spending, so it needs to maintain good relations with the incoming Trump administration.

United Technologies collects about $5.6 billion in annual revenue from U.S. government contracts, according to company filings, which is equal to about 10% of its overall revenue. The government also pays for nearly $1.5 billion of the company's annual research and development spending.

Trump took to Twitter late Tuesday to thank Carrier.

"Big day on Thursday for Indiana and the great workers of that wonderful state. We will keep our companies and jobs in the U.S. Thanks Carrier," he wrote.

In response to a CNBC report that Carrier will receive "new inducements" from Indiana, trade attorney Scott Lincicome, an adjunct scholar at the libertarian Cato Institute, criticized the deal.

"'New inducements'" = Subsidies," Lincicome wrote, adding "CONGRATULATIONS INDIANA TAXPAYERS! YOU INVOLUNTARILY BOUGHT AN INEFFICIENT AC FACTORY."

Justin Wolfers, a professor of economics at the University of Michigan, commented that the deal could set a troubling precedent.

"Every savvy CEO will now threaten to ship jobs to Mexico, and demand a payment to stay," Wolfers wrote on Twitter, adding "great economic policy."

In a Facebook post Tuesday, Trump heralded the deal as "great news" and said more details were forthcoming.

Dan Scavino Jr., Trump's director of social media, said on Facebook: "[N]ot even in office yet, #PEOTUS & #VPEOTUS are getting things done in-between their 2017 Transition meetings."

The supervolcano beneath Yellowstone National Park has not erupted for around 70,000 years. When it next erupts, scientists say most of the US will be covered by a blanket of ash, while there will be major climate changes felt across the globe.

Currently, experts say they are 99.9% confident Yellowstone will not blow in the 21st century but no one knows exactly when the next event will be.

Published in the journal Geology, scientists from Arizona State University have now said there may be a way to work out when the supervolcano will wake up from its lengthy slumber.

Researchers looked at Yellowstone's past coupled with new microanalytical techniques to look at chemical concentration gradients in magma crystals. This allowed them to work out the timescale between reheating and eruption of the volcano.

Christy Till, one of the study authors, said: "We find that the last time Yellowstone erupted after sitting dormant for a long time, the eruption was triggered within 10 months of new magma moving into the base of the volcano, while other times it erupted closer to the 10-year mark."

The countdown for an eruption begins when there is evidence of magma moving into the crust. When this happens, scientists will know through instruments detecting precursors like earthquake swarms.

Researchers also note that while there have been three major eruptions in the last 2.1 million years, there were also 23 smaller eruptions since the last big one 640,000 years ago. In between eruptions, magma slowly cools forming crystals over thousands of years, before it is reheated again. The crystals act like tree rings, allowing scientists to reconstruct its history.

Till said: "How quickly can you reheat a cooled magma chamber and get it to erupt? Our results suggest an eruption at the beginning of Yellowstone's most recent volcanic cycle was triggered within 10 months after reheating of a mostly crystallised magma reservoir following a 220,000-year period of volcanic quiescence.

"A similarly energetic reheating of Yellowstone's current sub-surface magma bodies could end approximately 70,000 years of volcanic repose and lead to a future eruption over similar timescales."<\|endoftext\|>Sam Rockwell, as Billy Bickle, wears Randolph Engineering Aviator sunglasses in the film Seven Psychopaths (2012).
