On-Site Retreats
Note: The SJSU OT Online Masters Program will not accept a post-professional masters class for Fall 2014. The SJSU online program will close after the current class graduates in 2015. For more information, please call 408-924-3080 or email us at OT Online.
Although all coursework is delivered online, there are three short on-site retreats that are required for successful completion of the program. All students must attend the 2 1/2-day orientation retreat (in-residence workshop) prior to beginning the program. This retreat is held in mid-August, before the beginning of fall semester classes. Students meet their classmates, course instructors, advisor and support staff from the library and technological services and are given a thorough orientation to the program. In addition, they meet returning students and attend workshops.
There are two additional 1 1/2 day retreats that are part of the program. The retreat between the first and second year of study is designed to prepare students for the second year courses and the research component of the program. At the final retreat following the second year of study students present their master's projects at the poster session and participate in the graduation ceremony. Students can petition to miss the second or third retreats for reasons of significant hardship, and can work with the advisor to design alternative assignments to replace these experiences. The first two retreats are held in mid August. The final poster session and graduation is held at the end of May. Students are given the specific dates well in advance in order to facilitate travel planning.
Research about online education has validated the importance of a face-to-face component in online programs and the retreats are a highlight of the program for both students and faculty members. Our students have consistently reported they appreciate opportunities for in-person workshops, discussion, advising, socialization and relaxation.

Trying to make yourself out to be superior because of the mobile OS you use? Really?
Please... Android isn't at all 'complex'. It is very straight forward. People should use what they want to use and be able to express objective opinions without belittling/bullying others.

Well, I tried Android again. I sold my iPhone 5 and purchased a Galaxy S3 with AT&T. I kept it for 3 weeks and took it back and got another iPhone 5. Don't get me wrong, Android has come a LONG way, but, the iPhone or iOS is just to polished and chiseled compared to Android. It has been a almost a week now since I have come back and honestly, I am very glad I did.
Good article btw about coming back to iOS

what i do with my phone mostly:
- surfing
- making a call
- taking pictures
- listening to music
- listening to podcasts
- occassionally watching a movie
more or less, thats about it and all of that can be done on android as good as on the iphone. videos are even better as i do not need to encode them. just drag & drop from my computer.
if you need tons of specific apps, i can imagine the iphone is superior. but tbh, apart from that, the devices nowadays are so similar.
to each his own preferred device. i think choice is a good thing and im glad we are not limited any longer to one specific company to fullfill our needs.

Sluggish Start
Sluggish Start
I own a recently purchased 1975 Cessna 177B Cardinal (fixed gear). It has a O-360. When I purchased it back in August 2012, I had an annual performed fresh. They put a new Gill G-25 battery in during annual. Recently, the plane has been sluggish starting. USUALLY when I perform a cold start, it turns over rather quickly. However, once i've flown around for an hour or two, I shut it down to re-fuel, then go to start it back up again to taxi across the field to my tiedown spot. It is at this point, where the starter will engage but then the prop will stop at the compression stroke. I have to try the starter a few more times and eventually, it will pass the compression stroke (just barely) but luckily the plane almost always starts with a single propeller revolution. It has been fairly cold outside but I feel it should at least make it past the compression stroke, especially when the engine is already warm. Any ideas? Could my battery not be charging fully (alternator going bad?) or does it sound like the starter? or is it just a 'bum' battery? I am going to go to the airport tonight and try a jump from a known good battery to see what happens.
Re: Sluggish Start
This sounds remarkably similar to a problem I've been chasing down for almost a year now in my 172. But I had an old generator/DC based system, and any taxiing I did that was around 5 minutes or so at low RPMs would leave the battery undercharged. I use the self serve pumps at my field, and it's about .5 mile from my hangar. I got caught a couple of times unable to re-light when I stopped to fill up the tanks after a flight. The solution was to go to an alternator, which you already have, but after I still had starting problems (slow turn over, hit the compression stroke, and that was all she wrote) I also decided to dump my Gil-25 and go to the Concorde RG-25XC. THAT was the magic bullet and it seems to have resolved everything. I don't get the chance to fly my plane as often as I like (who does?) but it can mean it will sit about two weeks between flights. I've heard that Gils are not good batteries to have if you don't fly frequently. They are mass produced to be cheap for FBOs and flight schools where planes are flown multiple times a day usually. If you don't want to dump the Gil, then you might consider a battery minder. It will keep your battery charged up and ready to go.
One thing I haven't mentioned so far is that it seems a little unusual in your case that the battery doesn't seem to be charging up during your flights. That does sound like it could be an alternator or voltage regulator problem. What is happening on your ammeter during flight? Are you getting a discharge indication? Is your battery light illuminating? They can be very dim and difficult to detect in some cases.

Monster Beverage Corp. will include caffeine content on its energy drink labels because it no longer wants to be considered a dietary supplement, and instead will adhere to Food and Drug Administration guidelines for conventional foods.
The switch comes after a wrongful death lawsuit filed last fall against Monster Energy, which plagued the company – and the rest of the energy drink industry. It prompted the release of FDA reports that attributed five possible deaths to Monster Energy and another 13 possible deaths to 5-Hour Energy, a 2-ounce energy shot.
"The Company saw no reason to continue being subjected to erroneous and misguided criticism that its Monster Energy drinks are being marketed as dietary substances to avoid FDA regulation."
It's not clear when the change will take effect, but the company said it will happen "when new packaging is manufactured and new products are introduced."

I think they all will get DOS quota's. TG will have just said that to scare people into buying a sub.
When will we find out which items won't receive a quota for sale day? I know Toyguru stated during the sub sales that some items won't have any day of, while others will have very limited availability...
Anyone care to guess which figures this will include? (Fighting Foe Men? Netossa? Karatti?) I think its a given Ram Man and Jitsu will get a DOS quota.
My top 10 items I'd like for 2016: 10/Stridor, 9/Granita, 8/Vultak 7/Filmation Tung Lashor, 6/Sprag, Sprocker and Spritina, 5/Filmation Teela, 4/Hunga the Harpy, 3/Filmation Evil Lyn 2/Filmation Clawful, 1/Dylamug.
I think they all will get DOS quota's. TG will have just said that to scare people into buying a sub.
"Skeletor to King Randor, Skeletor to King Randor, come in you Royal Boob!"
MOST WANTED MOTUC figures: Ice Armor He-Man, Sagitar, Fang-Or, Major Header, Granita, Great Black Wizard, Despara, Quakke, Master Sebrian, Tuvar, Bahdrah, Stridor, & Snake Mountain.
MOST WANTED PCS statues: Mer-Man, Whiplash, Buzz-Off, Sy-Klone, Ram Man, Tri-Klops, & Two-Bad.
*My iTrader Feedback
*My MOTU_Maniac Feedback Thread
I´m also wondering, what "limited availability" actually means.
For the line it would be the best, if sales are like early 2010 with Trap Jaw and Battle Cat, though it would be frustrating for some non-sub-customers. But I think the 2010 sales were responsable for the good 2011 sub sales. Mattel has to create a bigger demand for the figures, customers were really relaxed in getting their stuff in 2011 and mostly in 2012 and therefore not subscribed.
If Mattel reduces the production numbers on highly-demanded figures , like Mantenna or Tung Lashor and keep the number of figures per year down I think more customers would subscribe, because it`s less expensive due to the fewer figures and being sure, they`ll get their stuff without dealing with the 15th.
FINALLY!! GLIMMER IS IN MY SHELF!! Now I need a Crita!! Crita is to Mara what Evil Lyn is to Teela. If we ARE getting Mara, then we NEED Crita.
It's entirely possible that it's not an exaggeration, that being said, I believe there will be some, they always have to get a set amount even if that amount goes over the sub numbers and CS stock.

Wanted.... NA She-Ra, Jitsu....

Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
I'm guessing they will be just as limited as the 2012 sub figures were with no leftover stock...supposedly.
I'm a proud cherry picker and need myself a Fangman, Snakeface, and Octavia REAL bad.
Anyway, actually yes, a lot of the Vintage 2012 figures vanished fast, which is a sign to come for 2013 but faster....now I'm not looking for Karatti to leap off the virtual shelves, but Ram Man for one certainly will be gone like lightning.

I'm hoping none but the army builder have day-of availability. That would send a clear message to subscribe in 2014.
PoP Variants are part of the vintage line, too! Starburst She-Ra, Shower Power Catra, and Scratchin' Sound Catra for 2015!!!
I know 2 angels: their names are Jedi_Kunle and Mikethedrummer!
Worship the Snake Goddess!
Round 2, vote for
Tuvar, Baddrah, Crita, Granita, Gray, Colonel Blast and the Snake Goddess
God willing The Fighting Foe Men won't be available DOS. A lot of people want them, but a lot of people don't, so that'd be a really nice gesture of Matty to us loyal subscribers so we could easily unload them if we so desire.

Jii Dee regarding Matty's view on MOTUC Collectors: "Here be whiny surrender monkey dragons".
MOTUC NEEDS: Sssqueeze, Dragstor, Saurod, Blast Attack, & Lord Masque.
I think the Horde Troopers, if that is in fact the two pack we're getting next year, will have DOS stock. Honestly I hope they become part of the essentials shop. As for the others I want an extra Karatti but I am hoping I can get an extra from a fellow subscriber.
Mattel I'm still waiting for these characters!
Spinwit, The Scientists, Darius,Crita, Kayo, Stridor, Kittrina, Melaktha, Drissi, Master Sebrian, Sagitar

I think every figure will have DOS stock, some will just go much faster than others.

I feel like TG was right on. If the sub barely made it, I figure they won't be producing many extras. Sure there will be some......but not like in the past.
To be honest, Him, the Foe Men & King He-Man is all I got the sub for....Mantenna, Dragstor & Two-Bad would ice my cake as late 2013 reveals....but I don't see it happening. I hope at least one of them makes it in 2013 though, at least one thing, my selling off the figures will help pay for Castle Gayskull.

Jitsu, Fangman, Netossa, ClampChamp, Octavia These are up in the air at this point for day of sale.
I would hope everything gets some day of sale as I like to buy an extra of some characters aside of the ones in my subscription.

They will all have limited day-of stock and that stock will probably move as quickly as the Sorceress & Fisto did.
I fully understand the concept of the cherry picker, but the line will not be able to move forward without guaranteed sales through the subscription model.
I wouldn't be surprised if figures like Ram Man & Jitsu sold out in less than 15 minutes like figures used to back in 2009.
The ONLY exception I would see is Horde Troopers, if they are truly the unannounced army builder this year. Mattel would make a lot more of those to cover the large demand for these. I also wouldn't be surprised if Horde Troopers aren't until 2014 to sell the sub.

MOTUC MOC Want List: SDCC 2008 King Grayskull
Vintage POP MOC Want List: Bubble Power She-Ra, Loo Kee, Spinnerella
I personally believe every figure will have DOS stock. I do believe however that certain figures that aren't core characters will have limited a quota. Since there are no re-issues going forward I think matty doesn't want backstock of characters like they've experienced in the past.
Just thinking today about upcoming figures and though, I wonder which ones will NOT have Day of Sales available.
It worked wonders with Fang Man's cred.
Who else would they utilize this with? or who else did they have lacking faith in for a larger release?
Comments? Ideas? Info?
If I had to guess, my money is on the following:
One of the July figures, so NA He-Man OR Clamp Champ. With 2014 sub sales starting at SDCC later in that month, another "no DOS" figure would be fresh on everyone's minds.
Castaspella in August. Once again, this would be announced BEFORE 2014 sub sales begin.
Otherwise I expect that there will be DOS stock throughout the year.

Has everyone forgot that in order to fill the reopened subscriptions on sale now they will be taken from the day of sale stock? So don't excpect much if any DOS figures for rest of 2013. I got a second club eternia so that I can have one to open and one to keep MOC without dealing with mattycollector each month and I get the figures for $25.00 not $27.00
I would expect the announcement right before or during SDCC to motivate some people to sign up for the 2014 subscription.

There was a time when the size of your car's rear tire could severely inhibit dragstrip performances. The only "power management" available was your own foot and optimal traction was had by stuffing the largest tire you could under the car. If you were planning on building a radical engine for your muscle car you had to plan on running some radically sized tires too, if you ever wanted your car to hook up and perform. There wasn't a magic spell that could ensure your car would stick. There is still no such spell, but thanks to today's advanced electronics, like MSD's Power Grid Ignition System, drag racers can produce enormous horsepower and torque and not have to worry about blowing their puny tires off when they launch. Electronically controlled power management is what we're talking about here, and although it's nothing new (MSD's Digital 7 boxes have been allowing racers to manipulate timing for over a decade), the way they do it is improving and, judging by this versatile system, both the hardware and software are getting more effective, yet simplified.
The Power Grid Ignition is MSD's latest digital system, and it features technology that makes installation, as well as tuneability much simpler than the previous Digital 7 boxes, such as the 7531 box, which has been a staple part number in small-tire heads-up drag racing for the last several years. The Power Grid setup consists of a controller box (PN 7730), ignition box (PN 7720), a CAN-bus hub (PN 7740), and various modules that allow the user to control different areas of their engine. Timing ramps, rev limits, traction control, all can be almost infinitely adjusted with the Power Grid, and the user interface (the computer screen display) is so simple compared to the old program. That alone is enough reason for drag racers to make the switch over to the new system.
It's designed using CAN-bus, an automotive and aerospace technology that allows devices to communicate with each other within a vehicle without a host computer. MSD has designed modules that feature specific functions, such as launch and rpm control, which easily tie into the Power Grid using a hub, making installation a breeze. Since it can be used with both MSD and RacePak's (a popular data logger company) existing products, it's a great setup for the serious racer. The Power Grid allows you to combine various systems together in order to relieve the complications that go with running multiple interfaces. In other words, the Power Grid puts all the log screens in one area. The Grid is a great upgrade for those racers who already have a 7531 and RacePak data logger because it allows the user to view both unit's data on a common screen. Before, users would have to view each separately, inconveniently.
It's engineered with a powerful 32-bit micro-controller and the Power Grid is monitored using all-new software called MSD View, which is very comprehensive and an easy program to navigate. Being USB compatible means it can be updated via download from msdignition.com and the Windows-based software is designed with tabs to help racers easily select different programming windows and parameters. Also, the data acquisition files of the ignition are captured on a micro SD card for ease of storage and review. One nifty thing about the setup is the CAN-bus technology reduces the amount of wiring, so for those racers looking to shed every ounce, the Power Grid system is light in weight, relatively.
If you are a casual gearhead who rarely races his car, the Power Grid has a lot of features you may not ever use. There are adjustability features that cater to the top-tier drag racer, but what you'll care about is the super hot spark the Power Grid ignition box produces. According to MSD, the 7720 ignition box produces an even hotter spark than the Digital 7 boxes (200-220 mJ compared to 190 mJ). This means a more complete burn and ultimately, more horsepower, and we can all use that.

I impulse bought this from NewEgg... http://azzatek.com/csaz-9000.html in white
I'll not lie, it's the removable plates that do it for me.
Only problem is; I live in the UK, NewEgg don't deliver to the UK, you cannot buy this case anywhere in Europe... Sooooo, long story short it's sat with a bag of Butterfingers and a pair of Bluebud Bluetooth Headphones at a friends place in Florida. I found a company that would ship it for £80... I now cannot remember said company, and am probably gonna end up paying £150 for delivery.

Go on those web sites and find me the Genesis then! None of them stock it, they stock other cases by Azza but not that one.
I've already trawled ALL of the UK/Romanian web sites. I only found ONE place with it in stock, but it was a Custom System Builder, and as much as I like the case? I'm not buying a whole new rig just for it!
Posted 08 April 2013 - 12:28
Can you not call them and ask them to hook you up? Or give you an ETA on stock?
Posted 08 April 2013 - 12:39
I spoke with a lot of companies to that effect, but no luck. I even contacted Azza and they said unfortunately there was no EU distributors for that case currently. I found a thread where NovaTech had gotten hold of this case for a customer, so I tried them but unfortunately they couldn't get their hands on one.
Originally I was looking at the NZXT Phantom and a CM... Scout? Once I saw that Genesis though? There was no contest whatsoever! I'll get it eventually, but I bet I end up biting the bullet and spending nearly £200 in delivery/import tax.
Posted 08 April 2013 - 12:51
When it comes to shipping, for me it's DHL -> FedEx, avoid UPS like the plague. Domestic is Purolator/CanadaPost -> FedEx again avoiding UPS like the plague.
Just don't use FedEx; they dropped my Thermaltake Tsunami when I moved from the UK to the USA in 2005, but refused to cough up and pay for it to be replaced. Ended up throwing it out and buying an Armor Jr instead.

Our Zippered iPad Sleeve gives you a slim, convenient way to protect your iPad when not in use. Simple in design, it'll give your iPad a safe place to rest and keep it protected for years to come. Made from genuine leather with a neoprene lining, our Zippered iPad Sleeve is designed to work with any version of the iPad, with or without a smart cover. The neoprene interior provides extra cushion for your device and the sturdy zipper closure keeps it securely inside when not in use. Don't have an iPad? No worries - it can fit other tablets and other electronic devices as well. If you've invested in a quality technology product, you owe it to yourself to protect it the right way - and that's with our Zippered iPad Sleeve!
Casual yet distinctive, our Timeless collection is one of our favorites. This leather boasts a polished finish and a soft hand feel, making it a great choice for any leather connoisseur. And with the variety of colors it comes in, it's easy to find a shade that appeals to you or matches with your other accessories. As the name implies, our Timeless collection will hold up through years of use while aging gracefully every step of the way.
Please note: textures in this collection range from light grain to a lightly pebbled grain depending on which part of the hide it's from.
I love the soft feel of my iPad case. The purple is very feminine and fun! The iPad Air 2 fits with its case on with room to spare. Too much room actually.
Excellent service, great leather quality, very pleased!
Greatly pleased with this product. Quality, style and color ~
Great quality and perfect for my IPad!!
Good quality, great service, excellent presentation/packaging. We are always pleased with gifts we order here.
I enjoy this product because its soft and nice to the touch and it has class. If you combine a keyboard with the I pad it easily fits inside. Plus you may rest the equipment over and above the sleeve giving stability specially if positioned over your lap. There is enough space (I have an Air Pad 2) to put some papers inside and easily work as an assistant mini brief to carry documents to your next meeting.
Case arrived very promptly. The color is a bit misleading. It appears to be more brown than burgandy. The fit & quality are excellent. This is my sceond laptop/tablet sleeve & I have been please with both. Just wish I had selected a different color.
This is a wonderfully soft and supple leather, very modern looking. It is nice to have the zipper rather than simply a case with an open end.
It arrived beautifully packaged, a very nice presentation.
I am very satisfied so far with the iPad sleeve. It has a very sophisticated quality look and feel, and the iPad slips in easily.
It also has enough padding to protect the iPad.
My only complaint would be the shipping time and the vagueness of tracking the shipment.
As I said in the beginning I am very pleased with the product so far and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an iPad sleeve.
Extremely well made; monogram a good size (not too small). I kept the styrofoam that came in the sleeve as extra padding since I travel a lot. I was very surprised and impressed with the way it was packaged: a handsome looking box with a suede-like wrapper around the case.
I will definitely use Leatherology again for business gifts. Definitely a great product at a great price!
Title says it all!
Well made. Looks professional and delivered quickly. I really couldn't believe how fast I got these items
Satisfaction guaranteed says it all!!
I can not tell you how wonderful my experience has been. I ordered the I Pad sleeve and received it within just a couple of days!! I actually got the sleeve before the shipping confirmation! I just love the sleeve, it is very well done and perfect fit for bothe my IPad Air and the Bluetooth keyboard. I he shown this to others, and I hope you get my orders for it.
Thank you so much.
EXCELLENT quality with adequate padding and internal storage capacity. Wish there was a loop for stylus storage but otherwise, the product is a great fit to our needs.
My item shipped immediately and when I received it I was totally impressed with the quality of the item. The leather was high quality, it was beautifully lined and embossed. Perfect gift item.
I have a really cool keyboard made of the same aluminum as the ipad; they snap together when not in use. I needed some padded protection, something I could easily slip in and out of. This leather one is the nicest I found, and I think the price is reasonable for what you get.
My only wish would be a small pocket or something which would hold the charger and earphones. Nevertheless, I am very happy with this purchase.
I am very pleased with the quality and look of this iPad sleeve.
I love this sleeve. The leather on the outside and the material on the inside are very soft. The zipper moves around the corners smoothly and my iPad fits nicely in the sleeve without removing its Smart Cover. I would definitely recommend this sleeve. It is a quality product!
Perfect size for your Ipad with Smart Cover. Quality is a word I would use for this product. Very nicely sewn.
Very nice
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box.

The part I thought was dumb on Nates part was he says his vision was blurred than drops his hands eggs him on than Bendo tags him and he drops from it. Priceless simply priceless
I'm not a huge Diaz fan, but I didn't find he was making an excuse or anything. He just said it was effective. Coulda been worse, he could have called the punch a poke a la Bob Sapp and Crocop.
The title is misleading because it makes it sound like Diaz was saying something like, 'I got screwed in that fight because of my eye, if it wasn't for that I would have won'. In actuality Diaz is just saying that after he got socked in the eye, he was screwed, there was nothing he could do from that point onward because it took him out of his game. Not an excuse.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
Further, Diaz does nothing but talk shit, flips the finger during the fight and you guys get all bent out of shape for my comment? LOL
"I didn't perform the way I wish I could have. <-- Excuse
I got a punch in the eye pretty early in the fight and things were blurry. << Excuse
They never came back. I was waiting for it to recover, and when it did I was going to come back strong. But it never did. <<< Excuse Ben did great. < Compliment
He landed the good shot early. It was blurry. I was screwed. If I would have tried to get up with anything, or tried to aggress too hard, I think things could've gotten worse.<<< Excuse
Like I said, I was trying to wait for the eye to recover, until I could see straight. Because I knew it was coming back and I knew I was going to come back strong from it, but I never did. I ran out of time with it, and it sucks. But whatever, that's what happens." <<< Excuse
Goodbye Mr. Burton
All in the reflexes
Anderson Silva 5: TRT USERS 0 Hendo - Forrest - Nate - Chael... twice
Bruce Leroy is the new Steven Seagal.
I think even with two good eyes Bendo tools him. It may not be as bad but i still see Bendo winning a UD against Diaz if they fight again. I'll be pulling for Diaz (if they do fight again) but Bendo showed he was on another level than Diaz and beat him in every aspect of the fight that night.
Fav Fighters: Penn, Wand, Fedor, Genki, Shields, Rashad, Pulver, Diaz bros, Melendez.

RSL Blog: What a way to start the season!Posted Mar 18th - 12:53pm by Darin Canova, KSL.com Contributor
Opening the season at the defending champion LA Galaxy is not exactly the way to ease into a season that saw 9 players leave the Salt Lake roster. Add to the new faces the lingering injuries to regular starters Nat Borchers (quad strain), Will Johnson (groin strain), Alvaro Saborio (knee strain), and Javier Morales (knee strain), more than a few were nervous for the match-up.
LA came out swinging but couldn't capitalize on multiple chances. Edson Buddle finally broke through with a header in the second half to break the deadlock. Undeterred, rookie midfielder Sebastian Velasquez pushed a cross in front of the LA goal that was tipped into goal by Galaxy defender Sean Franklin. Let the comeback begin.
RSL, MLS teams battle for playoff positioning with final week of gamesPosted Oct 17th - 12:05am by Darin Canova, KSL.com Contributor
SANDY - Here we are at the close of the 2011 regular season. Real Salt Lake has only one game remaining, as do most other teams in the league. Nine of the 10 playoff spots have been decided while four teams vie for the final spot during the last week of games. Playoff positioning can still change during this next week, determining who first round playoff opponents will be.
Currently, Real Salt Lake is sitting in the third spot in the West. They are tied with FC Dallas for that spot but have a better goal differential, giving them the tie breaker. With only one game remaining, RSL can only finish in its current third place position or be overtaken by FC Dallas and fall into the number one wild card position. So which of these spots is better for Real?
With the current playoff format (which you can check out at here), it would seem appealing to be the first place wild card. Assuming that the 1 seed would defeat the 4 seed on the higher seed's field, that team would get placed in the Eastern Conference bracket. As has been the case for the last few years, the Eastern bracket has been the easier of the two brackets. That would give RSL the presumably easier path to the MLS Final.
Beckerman suspended for rest of regular seasonPosted Oct 13th - 8:22am by Darin Canova, KSL.com Contributor
SANDY - Major League Soccer announced Friday that Real Salt Lake midfielder and team captain Kyle Beckerman will serve an additional two game suspension for his head butt on Chicago Fire midfielder Daniel Paladini. That goes along with the original one game suspension and $250 fine that comes with any red card, as well as an additional fine of $1,000.
The suspension means that Beckerman will miss the last two games of the regular season - the Rocky Mountain Cup match at Colorado and the regular season home finale versus Portland.
Though the extra suspension does not come as a shock, the timing for a struggling RSL team could not be any worse. The team has now lost four straight games, the latest defeat on Oct. 7 at Vancouver.
RSL Blog: Stuck between a foul and a hard foulPosted May 12th - 7:00pm by Ben Schroeder
The punishment for Chivas USA forward Marcos Mondaini's "clumsy" tackle on Real Salt Lake midfielder Javier Morales was announced on Wednesday.
The suspension? Just four games and a $1,500 fine. (Officially that would be three games and $1,250 fine because the red card Mondaini received carried a one-game suspension and a $250 fine.)
Many across the country consider this to be a very light punishment on Mondaini, who tackled Morales from behind, leaving him with a broken ankle, a dislocation and some torn ligaments. Mondaini was beat on the play, and to prevent Morales from shooting and having a great chance at scoring, he lowered his body to the ground to get under Morales' legs and take him down. But, this time Mondaini's butt came crashing down onto Morales' left ankle, resulting in the painful injury.
RSL Blog: What's the game plan?Posted Apr 27th - 4:15pm by Ben Schroeder
With captain Kyle Beckerman out for tonight's decisive game 2 of the CONCACAF Champions League Final, Real Salt Lake has a few line up options to consider. The one they choose depends on what strategy Head Coach Jason Kreis wants to implement.
Option 1
Put Ned Grabavoy into Beckerman's position. Ned is not the biggest player, but he plays big and fights for possession. Grabavoy would be an offensive asset as he loves to push up and hang around the top of the goal box. It can make him dangerous if you leave him alone and he can service the ball in for the forwards. However, his defense isn't quite what Beckerman brings to the table.
For RSL, winning changes everythingPosted Apr 26th - 5:10pm by Ben Schroeder
SANDY - "Winning changes everything," according to Real Salt Lake owner Dave Checketts.
What does Checketts mean by change?
In order to accurately understand what changes have taken place, one must be reminded of the evolution of RSL and the impressive odds the club has overcome to get to its current status.
CONCACAF Championship: Real Salt Lake carries banner for MLS, U.S. soccerPosted Apr 19th - 2:42pm by Ben Schroeder
It's a foreign idea for a lot of people in America to understand how a tournament outside of their own league would be more important then the league title itself, but that is the reality we now face with Real Salt Lake in the CONCACAF Champions League title game.
That's not really a shock for anyone, is it? The NFL is at the top of the ladder for football (American football that is) - win that and your the best.
RSL Blog: Jump on board, RSL plays for youPosted Apr 7th - 3:23pm by Ben Schroeder
The games have ended and the finals are set. It will be Real Salt Lake facing Monterrey for the championships of the CONCACAF Champions League final. So much like a double rainbow what does this all mean?
RSL Blog: Small Team, Big Time ResultsPosted Mar 31st - 4:43pm by Ben Schroeder
There is a great moment in the movie Hoosiers ... well, there are a lot of great moments in Hoosiers, but the one I'm think of is when Norman Dale finishes prepping the team for the final game against South Bends and turns comments over to the team. The first statement out of one of the players mouths, "Lets win this for all the small schools that never had a chance to get here."
So with a little imagination we change the words "small schools" to MLS teams when we are talking about Real Salt Lake playing in the CONCACAF Champions League.
"Lets win this for all the MLS teams that never had a chance to get here."
RSL Blog: Bye Bye Off-seasonPosted Feb 16th - 11:49am by Ben Schroeder
A co-worker of mine asked me when ReAL Salt Lake starts up again for Major League Soccer play. I then informed him, in March sometime but, they start the CONCACAF Champions League on February 22.
His eyes then got wide and he said, "Man they have a long season."
From mid-November to the end of February is not an off-season at all really. But here it is and all because in the last season and a half RSL has been the benchmark of good soccer in this part of the world.
RSL Blog: Ducks in a RowPosted Feb 4th - 2:05pm by Ben Schroeder
A short off season didn't stop Real Salt Lakes front office from getting the job done with securing the players for now and the future.
Nick Rimando is the latest to be signed to a contract extension by RSL. He will be with the team till at least 2013, after achieving his best season as a professional in 2010. Rimando is a key piece in stabilizing this team's defense for the future, as most contracts for RSL run to about 2013 and 2014.
On another line RSL has been prepping in Arizona
RSL Blog: Poker time for MLSPosted Dec 23rd - 8:07pm by Ben Schroeder, KSL Sports Editor
In Poker you play your best hand. You get through all your crappy hands and use your money wisely and then when the time is right you hit with the best hand you know will beat your competition ending in a big pay out, hopefully. You also play poor hands and see if your good enough at bluffing. Is Major League Soccer playing Poker?
In an article posted Tuesday from the Sport Business Journal indicates the MLS is playing a game of poker, hoping someone will break under pressure in order to get more money out of new television contracts.
Ten years ago it would of been some sort of crazy talk thinking the MLS could ask for even a dime to broadcasting rights. But, things change and ESPN offered $8.5 million through 2014 to broadcast MLS and US National team matches. Well, the league believes they can get $20 million from Fox Soccer Channel, that's only $13 million more then what FSC offered for a new contract that ends this year. What cards does Major League Soccer have?
RSL Secures Another ForwardPosted Dec 23rd - 7:50pm by Ben Schroeder, KSL Sports Editor
Real Salt Lake lost a key forward this off season with Robbie Findley leaving for Euro ball.
Findley signed with Nottingham Forest with a 2 and a half year contract. Nottingham needed a scoring punch and they feel Findley can give them that punch. "The Reds" as they are known are in a good position in the Championship League of England's Futbal world (Championship is one down from Premier).
So RSL needed to replace him. They started by trading for Arturo Alvarez after the expansion draft, then they resigned �lvaro Sabor�o as a designated player to a 4 year deal and today the final peace was put into place with a loan extension to Paulo Araujo Jr (Paulo Jr for short)
RSL Blog: Good ReadPosted Dec 22nd - 7:45pm by Ben Schroeder
This is a good read from US Soccer Players.com
They get into where Major League Soccer has been, where it may be going and what teams must change or lose out to teams that have changed. Good points, and they address what I think maybe the best move by the league since it started and that's expanding into the Pacific Northwest namely Seattle, Vancouver and Portland.
Those rivalries can generate a lot of buzz for the league and now with the Whitecaps having a rival with Toronto and soon to be Montreal it has a Canadian side of interest as well.
RSL Blog: Little ThingsPosted Dec 22nd - 5:35pm by Ben Schroeder, KSL Sports Editor
For the January Men's National Team call up's only one Real Salt Lake player made the chosen few, Nick Rimando. He was called up last year for this same training session. Rimando is the oldest player in this group and your guess is as good as mine as to what this can lead to. Maybe it's to compare him to other Major League Soccer goal keepers or maybe he's there to help bring the younger goalies along.
On a local note, Justin Braun a former Skyline High School and Salt Lake Community College player gets his opportunity to show what he brings for the national team.
RSL blog: Young UprisePosted Dec 17th - 3:21pm by Ben Schroeder
After Major League Soccer's expansion draft and the World Cup announcement, it seems there really wasn't much to cover about Real Salt Lake and other MLS teams.
But, over the past week or so some stories are coming out about RSL's young Soccer Academy in Arizona. What would get insiders and followers of MLS interested in the youngest academy in the league?
Lets start with winning. In the programs first real tournament the 2 oldest groups of teenagers went unbeaten, one group going 2-0-1 and the other group going 1-0-2. These wins weren't easy wins considering one of them came against one of the oldest youth academies in the country and that was a 7-0 win.
RSL Blog: FIFA Playing it WildPosted Dec 2nd - 1:30pm by Ben Schroeder, KSL Sports Editor
Out of all the countries bidding for the World Cup the two countries that should have gotten the bid did not. It was interesting as I was watching ESPN and they were talking about odds makers saying that they predict Qatar and Russia to win the 2022 and 2018 bids. The ESPN analyst very clearly said he didn't know where they are getting their information but he thinks they are way off. He then stated they would have to have a few people inside giving them information and the logical choice would be USA and England.
RSL Blog: Add 2nd in 2022Posted Dec 1st - 3:55pm by Ben Schroeder, KSL Sports Editor
December 2nd will arrive and within that day we will know which countries will be hosting the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. England, Russia, Spain/Portugal and Belgium/Netherlands want 2018. United States, Qatar, Australia, Japan and South Korea want 2022. FIFA's corruption seems to have died down as voting gets underway but there are only 22 votes to be had, which makes it tight. What benefits will the US have by being the host?
What This Says
RSL Blog: Good-Bye -- HelloPosted Nov 24th - 11:05pm by Ben Schroeder, KSL Sports Editor
As I posted my last post I was certain Real Salt Lake PR would have an email on all the days activities, but I got sent out on assignment and couldn't check for said email.
Well sure enough that information arrived and with it a trade was made with Portland. Arturo Alvarez will now play for ReAL next season after the Left footed Forward was taken in the expansion draft from San Jose and then the Timber traded him to RSL for a draft slot in the January 22nd Super Draft.
Alvarez also had some great numbers way back in 2003 and to know he can finish is always good news when you are looking at forwards. I think Jason Kreis knows the look of a finisher.
RSL Blog: No Big LossesPosted Nov 24th - 1:57pm by Ben Schroeder, KSL Sports Editor
Major League Soccer's Expansion Draft came and went and to much a big surprise Real Salt Lake really didn't lose anybody that would put a big dent into the team structure. David Horst was picked by the Portland Timber first and with that RSL protected Collen Warner. On paper Warner was the better player and in the view of the head coach as well, Horst didn't play a minute this season for ReAL.

A 12-year-old boy named Bailey O'Neill died at a hospital in Delaware on Sunday, one day after his birthday. O'Neill had been in a coma after suffering several seizures which stemmed from a bullying incident at school. His family says he was jumped by two classmates during recess at Darby Township School back in January and left with a concussion and a broken nose. On Sunday afternoon, Ray Rice (or one of his publicists) took to Facebook to speak out against bullying on behalf of the O'Neill family. After learning last Thursday that doctors said Bailey had no longer had any brain activity, I reached out to the family and was able to spend about 45 minutes on the phone with them. I could hear their sadness, worry, frustration and grief. They would be faced with removing their son, cousin, nephew, and best friend from life support. I don't think I will ever be able to understand why kids bully each other and how we are all sitting here after yet another "bully death" getting ready to go through this difficult task of picking up the pieces and the even more difficult task of forgiving so we can heal. The students who beat O'Neill have been suspended for two days, but it's unclear if they are going to be criminally charged. Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan said investigators are in the process of determining whether or not the injuries Bailey suffered during the bullying incident are what caused his seizures. Rice urged parents and teachers to treat bullying as an illness and give it more attention. I don't know if the kid that did this to Bailey will be punished severely enough or if he will receive the help I know he truly needs. Bullying doesn't happen for no reason…we have to figure out what the underlying cause it and treat it like the illness it is. I don't know when parents, teachers, elected officials and administrators will sit up and take notice…and ACT. But, I DO KNOW THIS: I will NOT give up my fight. Everyday I will continue to fight AGAINST bullying and fight FOR kindness. Bailey – my little buddy, I will not let you become just another bully statistic…you are my inspiration and one more angel that will help me continue the fight for kids everywhere. You are going to help me save lives. RIP my little friend. If you remember, Rice wrote a similar post on Facebook after a shooting that took place at a school in Baltimore last year. Picking on someone is one thing. Kids will always be kids, but the fact that an 11-year-old was beaten so badly it cost him his life leaves a sick feeling in my stomach. You can argue that the children who bullied O'Neill are too young to know any better, and that's certainly a valid point. That being said, O'Neill was murdered. Something needs to be done to let these children and others around the world know that there is nothing okay about that. The post Ray Rice speaks out against bullying on behalf of victim Bailey O'Neill appeared first on Larry Brown Sports.

The little bastards that did this need to be arrested, then tried as adults. This wasn't 'bullying'. This was murder.
all bullies are cowards, always picking on weaker and helpless people, up against someone their size they will run,most are not smart and lonely. no excuse!
these bullies need to be put in bully jail and released when they're 21, and then put on probation for 50 years.
bullies become gang stalkers...the silent crime that is impossible to prove. Check it out with an internet search and you tube. It's a way of life for them. All walks of life, young and old participate.
My son was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy when he was three years old. He is not in a wheelchair. One of his main problems has been that his speech is often slurred. His walk is sometimes unsteady and his hands shake. He was bullied all through his school years by being called "retard" and "moron" and others. He was recently also diagnosed with Aspbergers. I feel very fortunate that the bullying he received was never physical. He is now 42 years old, has a college degree and works for the Federal Government. I don't know what happened to the kids who bullied him, but he has become a successful adult.
Suspened for 2 days, Why not let 4 older boys beat the "HELL " out of them, Turn around is fair play!!!

Puerto Armuelles, named after war hero Coto Tomás Armuelles, is recognized internationally for its banana industry, though its farmers also produce palm oil, rice, beans, corn, and sorghum.
The emerald-green waters and gray sandy beaches that border the city and the coastal rural areas are perfect for recreation. Bananas are loaded onto boats for export from the former Banana Pier, built in 1936.
In the 1980s a deep-water dock and an oil pipeline were built to transport oil drilled in Alaska to the Atlantic, where it was bound for the refineries in Houston and the Gulf Coast of the United States.
Puerto Armuelles is 34 km. from Paso Canoa, 87 km. from David, and 525 km. from Panama City.

No offense taken but most of you're conclusions about the show are extremely confusing to me.General Buttnekked wrote:I'm going to give my honest feedback and I don't mean to offend anyone or dismiss the OP's endorsement...
I really enjoyed the first season and the internal conflict Walt and Jesse had to process through....by the end of season 2, I got really lost and felt their story-telling just gave up and started grabbing for low-hanging fruit to keep the gravy train rolling.
The Mexican twins, the mercenaries, the cartoon villians and cops, the ridiculous over-the-top "drama" that is every scene like it was a Reality TV show......all the while being as subtle as a punch in the head.
Season 5, is just a joke (imo). I think AMC is capable and shown the balls to launch good series, but once they get a hit (BB, Mad Men, Walking Dead, Hell on Wheels, etc) they are more than willing to rest on their laurels to the sacrifice of an actual story.
The show really had the ability to become an interwoven and deep reflection like "The Wire" was, but it fell victim to success. The problem with telling a story is that it must have a beginning and an end (here is where we're gonna start and here is where we're gonna stop), regardless if there is a conclusion or not. Profit-centered-interest television is like listening to a 6 year old explain what happened
"There was this guy.....
and then....
and then....
and then....
and then....
and then...."
and it continues like that, throwing in whatever it can to keep your attention, whether or not if makes sense or completes the story.

What things annoy you because I have no idea what you are talking about. Just because it appeals to mainstream doesn't mean they are dumbing it down for them.I think it could be a great story
Is it better than 80% of the crap that is television? I would heartily agree.
I just don't think the writers anticipated/wanted to take it to where it is now when they were plotting this out in 2007. It a dramatic comic book now and see a lot of things that annoy me because they are designing the story for an ADD audience (to capture as big of a demographic as possible)
The guy cooks Crystal meth and gets deeply involved in a criminal underworld so yeah chances are shit tends to get dramatic when you live that lifestyle. Yes Walt's transformation is happening at a startling pace but if you want to live that lifestyle your hands get dirty by necessity whether you start off as a good person or not. His transformation shows how even a good hearted person is capable of consciously turning down the path of wrong given good motivation and can slowly become a monster as unintended consequence of that decision. That is the kind of subtlety that Breaking Bad brings to the table when you pay attention.I see what you're saying, but they are 'moral choices' coming from 1-dimensional characters. I can't say anything bad about Bryan Cranston, he does a good job (as the story allows) to express his conflict and the duality involved, but every scene for the past 4 seasons amounts to a nervous breakdown. I can see some (the initial dilemas, trafficking, running, etc), but its like clockwork now.....and it becomes a little ridiculous (take the last episode) where he goes from extreme husband to wheelchair bombing IRA member in the span of 10 minutes. This guy IRL would be so fucking numb to all that shit and be beyond some of the maudlin dilemmas that are thrust upon him at this point. The rest of the characters are on the verge of being cardboard cutouts.
Saul is the only comedic relief to the over-the-top PMS drama
1-dimensional caricature of all these drug-Hitlers Walt & Jesse contend with

It's definitely one of the top 5 greatest shows of all-time, imo. You are critiquing things that are universally applauded about the show so clearly you don't know what you are talking about. If you were critiquing things that are actual problems with the show instead of bullshiting your way through why you don't think it's as good as I suggest it is than I wouldn't be saying your critiques are invalid.General Buttnekked wrote:StCapps wrote:By the way I'm not taking this personally you are reading too much into what I'm saying with that conclusion
you apparently are, because you are vehemently defending this show as if it were the greatest fucking production in history. Its not.
A critique is raised and (I) "obviously have no clue what I'm talking about....all your views are invalid"

So your just on Season 3, that explains your thinking the show doesn't get better as it goes along because the last half of season 3 and all of season 4 are still to come.General Buttnekked wrote:here, let me see if I can explain better.
I'm not exactly enamored by your dismissals though, as they amount to "everyone thinks this a great show, therefore you are invalid". I never said that the show was horrible or that my opinion is the standard. I merely provided my feedback of the show after having seeing the majority of 3 seasons (not so much season 3)
It is good television, like "Bourne Ultimatum" is good movie.
It is entertaining, its suspenseful, it may make a basic statement.......it isn't a profound one, though. It has a lot of different players, but it is about a mile wide and an inch deep.
You admit that it is full of drama and suspense (that I'm contending is way over the top), but its also so subtle. I'd rank "Breaking Bad" right along with "The Shield", its about the same level there. "Sons of Anarchy" is a few rungs below (because of the same issues I've listed for Breaking Bad, they are just more evident in that show).
Good television? I'm thinking "Deadwood" or "The Wire" or "Treme"
I haven't said that Breaking Bad is terrible or not a good show. I simply offered up critiques as to why I find this as more-of-the-same aimless drama.

Its a serialized show you cant watch a season here and there and get a sense for the story, how the characters develop and you don't get invested as much in the characters which are the driving force for the action and provide context to all the craziness that unfolds. If you don't enjoy it's brand of storytelling whatever I don't know what more you can want from a show because everything you want from it has in spades you just missed it somehow in the sporadic watching of heavily serialized drama.General Buttnekked wrote:I clearly said I watched season 1, most of 2, and all of 4.
Whether or not I'm missing pieces of a story has no real bearing on how I feel the episodes are packaged, acting, characters, etc.....
I watched, like 48 episodes of Mad Men over the summer out of sheer boredom. I don't need to see every goddamned episode to realize its a trite and boring story.

Well Season 3 is much better than Season 2 and it's not like Walt and Jesse's relationship has gotten less interesting since the beginning of the series so you picked a lousy time to stop watching.General Buttnekked wrote:just for the record, I didn't heck and peck episodes. I watched it when it first came out (I was a regular audience) because it was really breaking ground and the dynamic between Walt and Jesse was worth watching. I watched season 2 the following year, but even after all that it began progressing to a point where I just wasn't interested.
Let's face it, Breaking Bad is not a show that is afraid to kill off it's characters. I won't say who to prevent spoilers. If you think there is zero chance of anything happening to the mentioned characters than you haven't really been watching the show. Hell the writers even wanted to kill Jesse off in Season 1, this show just doesn't hold on back on character killing tip. Obviously Walt cannot die until the end of the series otherwise it would be over but that is hardly a reason to hate on the show. Why would you complain about the shows plot not moving forward and seriously impacting the characters in any meaningful way when the show is filled with such examples? Again you and your confusing conclusions about the show, are you sure you watched the same program?General Buttnekked wrote:Lets face it, nothing is going to happen to Walt, Jesse, Walt's wife or son, so you could be guaranteed that nothing was really going to change in the plot and it began spinning more and more out of the realm of reality. Its one thing to be hunted down my the Mexican Cartels, its another thing to be kidnapped, having conflicted detectives after you is another.....but they took it to G.I. Joe comic book levels, which is why I just tired of it. Its not a bad program, but it has its share of problems
Your experience is different because you watched the show in a different manner than mostly everyone else who has watched the show. Combine that with the fact that you don't like shows with as much drama as Breaking Bad and your more negative POV of the show is easily explained. Your beefs are not with quality of the show aside from your personal tastes finding it overly dramatic. The vast majority of your beef with the show stems from the fact that you watched a heavily serialized drama in the incorrect chronological order.General Buttnekked wrote:I can certainly see why folks are into the show. My experience is different. I don't know that that completely means I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm glad you're really into the series.

I know you watched the first two seasons but then you proceeded to watch the rest of the series (the best part of it) out of order and therefore it didn't seems as good as it otherwise would have in proper context. Whining about the first two seasons of Breaking Bad not being the greatest show ever does not constitute a proper argument the real greatness of the show. Your opinion on the third and fourth season which are two of the best seasons in tv history have been completely tainted by the way in which you watched them. That is my point.General Buttnekked wrote:StCapps wrote:Your experience is different because you watched the show in a different manner than mostly everyone else who has watched the show.

DESTIN — Voters will head to the polls Tuesday voice their opinion on the Destin Fire Control District's proposed millage cap increase.
"It all comes down to the voters and whether they want to vote for this or not," said Tommy Green, chairman of the fire district's board of commissioners. "As a board, we voted to put this out to the public and let them make the decision. I encourage them all to make an educated decision, whether it's for or against this."
The referendum asks whether the fire district can increase its millage cap from 1.0 to 3.75. Commissioners have said they have no plans to raise the rate to 3.75, the maximum allowed under state law.
Increasing the property tax cap is needed to offset budget shortfalls caused by slumping property values, fire officials say.
Opponents argue that allowing the fire district to increase the cap to the maximum would give commissioners a blank check.
Fire Commissioner Mike Buckingham was the only board member to vote against raising the cap.
"What bothers me the most is that they went for the 3.75 instead of 1.50," Buckingham said.
To avoid using any more reserves and stay within budget, commissioners say they need to raise the millage rate to 1.12 mills in 2014 and to 1.25 mills in 2015, based on projections.
One mill equals $1 for every $1,000 of taxable property value.
By next year, commissioners say the fire district will have a budget deficit close to $1 million.
Commissioner Jack Wilson said that higher rates at Destin Water Users and the unforeseen costs of the new federal health care law add to the uncertainty.
"The costs are outside our control," he said. "The last three years we've had to dip into reserves. It hasn't gone away in two years, and we're going to run out of reserves."
Since the fire commissioners voted 4-1 in March to put the issue on the ballot, Buckingham has been somewhat outspoken. He said his original intent was to inform residents, but he has been more active against the cap increase after he said a threat was made against his family.
Facing the shortfall, Buckingham said the fire district was presented with two options. The first would have been to raise the millage cap and the other to charge a flat fee of $35 for every property in the district.
"Can you imagine how many people would rather pay a flat fee than increase the millage cap?" he said.
But Green says the district is running out of options. He said there are enough reserves to get the district through the upcoming budget cycle, but the money wouldn't be there the next year. Also, a portion of the district's reserves have come from impact fees, which can only be used in very specific ways and do not help to balance the budget, Green said.
"We're getting down to where there is not a lot left," he said.
The fire district's biggest expense is personnel, at more than $4.15 million this year. The district's budget is $5.72 million.
As for cutting personnel or services, Green said making drastic cuts is the last thing the district wants to do.
"That's not a plan," he said Green, who added that talks of possible staff cuts were discussed during the district's five-year planning process.
The millage cap increase is more about continuing the services that residents have been accustomed to over the years, such as advanced life support and medical, which are not required under state law, Green said.
"We don't want to lose those services," he said. "If you are just looking at tomorrow, then you are going to mess up. I want to look at the future, what's going to happen five or 10 years down the road."
Buckingham said he encourages residents to make an informed decision and to not base their vote on the information from the firefighters union, which has been hanging informational cards on doorknobs around town.
"I have a real hard time with this campaign being run by the union," he said. "They are lying to the taxpayer. The commission hasn't given them any of the numbers they are using.
"Vote no."
Early voting wrapped up Friday at City Hall, and Okaloosa County Supervisor of Elections Paul Lux said Friday morning that he was pleased with the participation.
"We exceeded 100 people a day, on average," he said. "For an election of this size and scale, that's a fantastic turnout."
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday in all five Destin precincts, including those within the city limits and unincorporated areas.
