Yesterday, the Philadelphia Independence and Atlanta Beat held their respective drafts for International players. 
Here's who they ended up obtaining, in order.Selection Player Position Country1.) Philadelphia Caroline Seger M Sweden2.) Atlanta Ramona Bachmann F Switzerland3.) Philadelphia Charlotte Rohlin D Sweden4.) Atlanta Johanna Rasmussen F Denmark5.) Philadelphia Hrr Magnttir M Iceland6.) Atlanta Mami Yamaguchi M Japan7.) Philadelphia Fara Williams M England8.) Atlanta Maurine Dorneles Goncalves M Brazil9.) Philadelphia Lianne Sanderson F England10.) Atlanta Therese Sjn M SwedenJust like last year, there is no commitment on these players to sign with a WPS team. It is simply the beginning of a process by which the Independence and Beat will go as per the world-famous FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players.That was quite a mouthful First impressions:No German or French players - Yep. Sooner or later, this will have to change.I also noticed that no French players were taken in this draft. Seems that Abily and Bompastor is who we'll have to see again in 2010. Curse that Dear Leader and the lack of defections.Umeatlanta Beatrottsklub - Ramona Bachmann, Johanna Rasmussen and Mami Yamaguchi was selected as the first three international picks by Atlanta. As key members with the Umea Idrottsklubb (yes, you've heard of them), the pipeline of talent from Umea IK to the WPS continues to build.Bachmann is a young Swiss superstar in the making.
Voted as Swiss women's player of the year this year, she has found the net 19 times in 30 appearances while making a name for herself in the Swiss U-20 team.Watch out for Ramona Bachmann, Atlanta fans. She's getting better and better, and her choice to be picked in this year's draft was easier than ever.Rasmussenappeared in 44 matches for the Danish national team, while Yamaguchi spent some time playing for the Florida State Seminoles.New Brits on the Block - Philly fans will be in for a treat when they get to watch Fara Williams and Lianne Sanderson.Williams, known to the Toffees as "Queen Fara," is a midfielder with the ability to finish. A key member of Santos FC (who currently has the Los Angeles Sol's Marta, Chicago Red Stars' Cristiane and FC Gold Pride's Erika on loan), Maurine's presence in the midfield will be criticial to Atlanta's chances of giving the rest of WPS a run for their reais.Iceland breaks the mold - Hrr Magnttir is a midfielder with a proven ability to finish. Now you know a little Icelandic, and you will know a lot more about Magnttir (pronounced like Magnus daughter) when the 2010 WPS season rolls along. This article is also featured on The View From Victoria Street. NAPERVILLE, Illinois (Reuters) - Companies like Dart Warehouse Corp are the silent partners to big-name U.S retailers. Yet as stores suffered during the holiday season, firms that handle inventory were still seeing brisk business.Many employees pulled 12 and 13 hour days in November and December at Dart's Midwestern warehouse, loading and unloading items for shipping. Now the fear is that pace of work could slow to a crawl starting this month, since retailers have already begun to drastically pare back their inventories.Retail planning can take months, and even companies that predicted the downswing did not foresee just how bad the holiday season would be.
