Whether you like having just a few libations with some of the club's most ardent supporters, enjoy the beautiful landscapes of rural Indiana, Michigan and Missouri, or just really like seeing the Chicago Fire play away from home, Section 8 On Tour Bus Trips (#S8OT) have something for everyone.
Returning this year, the Independent Supporters Association is offering all Fire supporters an away season ticket, which guarantees round trip bus fare and match tickets for this season's Fire away games in Columbus (May 24), Kansas City (July 6) and Toronto (August 23) for just $200.
While the execution of an Away Season Ticket isn't something new to Section 8 Chicago, it does return for the first time in a number of years because of the way the MLS schedule fell for the club's three closest away trips according to ISA Chairman Jeff Marinacci.
"The stars aligned for us," he told Chicago-Fire.com this week. "When we saw the schedule, having Toronto on a summer weekend makes it an easy sell. Though Columbus or Kansas City are good road games, Toronto just offers so much more, the trip is worth doing outside of just going to watch a match."
- PURCHASE: 2014 Section 8 Chicago Away Trip Ticket
Toronto nightlife no doubt has more to offer than Kansas City or Columbus but what Marinacci is referring to is the fact that the past few seasons, the team has played away in Toronto at midweek in September, making it difficult to coordinate a strong contingent of Fire supporters to travel by bus.
This year the Columbus and Toronto trips both fall on Saturdays, while the Kansas City trip falls on the Sunday of Independence Day weekend making the travel much easier all around.
As they do on all buses, Section 8 Chicago is subsidizing an additional $35 per person on the 2014 Away Season Ticket on top of the $50 subsidy provided for individual bus travel to these matches.
"Our commitment to spending our money is to support the guys on the field home and away," he said.
A great deal no doubt, not what if someone buying can only make it on one or two of the trips instead of the full complement of three? Marinacci said that while there is no partial away season ticket (and no refunds), the ISA will accommodate ticket transfers as coordinated through email@example.com.
Now through mid-May (when bus tickets for the Columbus trip will cut off), Section 8 Chicago is in a heavy push to sell the Away Season Ticket for the year. As part of that push, the ISA will be raffling one off during Saturday's Watch Party at A.J. Hudsons.
Next Saturday, the ISA will raffle off a second Away Season Ticket, purchased by the Club, at their tailgate in the north lot prior to the Chicago Fire/New England Revolution match.

Ahead of Saturday's clash at Montreal's Olympic Stadium, neither Fire head coach Frank Yallop or the Impact's Frank Klopas will be happy with their team's defensive efforts five matches into the season, though they may have varying opinions about the number of goals their teams have produced.
See below the spots on the field both the Fire and Impact have scored and conceded from heading into Saturday's game:
|Goals Scored: 8
|Goals Against: 9
|Run of Play: 4
|Run of Play: 2
|Dead Ball/Set Piece Sequence: 4
|Dead Ball/Set Piece Sequence: 7
|Penalty Kick: 1, Corner Kick 2, Free Kick 1
|Penalty Kick : 1, Corner Kick 3, Free Kick 3
|Goals Scored: 5
|Goals Against: 9
|Run of Play: 5
|Run of Play: 6
|Dead Ball/Set Piece Sequence: 0
|Dead Ball/Set Piece Sequence: 3
|Penalty Kick: 0, Corner Kick 0, Free Kick 0
|Penalty Kick : 1, Corner Kick 0, Free Kick 2
The Chicago Fire Reserves ran out 4-0 winners over Marquette Sunday morning at Toyota Park. First teamers, Juan Luis Anangono, Victor Pineda and Orr Barouch all chipped in goals but perhaps the best was Academy product Andrew Gutman's combination with Qudus Lawal on the left to take things to 3-0 in the in 75th minute.
Catch that goal 20 seconds into the video below:
Mike Magee will tell you he should have had at least two goals on Saturday.
Whether it was finishing on that awkward back and forth play that saw him with an open look at goal while Sheanon Williams was down in the box in the 88th minute or the game-ending penalty and rebound save from Zach MacMath at the death, the fans and he himself feel like he should have had another.
And it's not necessarily easy to point that out about Magee but thankfully, he tweeted this yesterday:
1st tweet after last nights game was always gonna be awkward so let's get it over with. I will make up for that! Mind if I move on? #cf97
— Mike Magee (@magee9) April 6, 2014
So now that that's out of the way, it's worth noting something else: Mike Magee did open his 2014 Fire account off a great feed from Quincy Amarikwa in the 16th minute Saturday. That goal was a small milestone as it pushed Magee inside the Top 15 (actually tied for 14th place) on the club's all-time goal scoring list with Lubos Kubik and Cuauhtemoc Blanco at 16 (MLS Regular Season) and 19 (All Competitions) goals respectively.
You took a pause real quick right there and realized that the Fire have only had 16 players hit those numbers over the course of 17 years. Now you realize that the club hasn't really had a consistent goal scorer over multiple seasons since the likes of Ante Razov, Josh Wolff and Damani Ralph came through.
There's no doubt that Magee got to those odd milestones quicker than Blanco or Kubik but he also beats Razov, Wolff and Ralph to those numbers by a considerable margin...
The tables:
MLS Regular Season Goals - Fastest to 16
|GP to 16 Goals
|Total Fire Goals
|Mike Magee
|Ante Razov
|Josh Wolff
|Damani Ralph
|Brian McBride
|Dominic Oduro
|Hristo Stoitchkov
|Dema Kovalenko
|Chris Rolfe
|2005-09; 2012-14
|Cuauhtemoc Blanco
|Lubos Kubik
|Nate Jaqua
|Chad Barrett
|Piotr Nowak
|Marco Pappa
|Jesse Marsch
Fire All Competitions Goals - Fastest to 19
|GP to 19 Goals
|All Competitions Goals
|Mike Magee
|Josh Wolff
|Ante Razov
|Damani Ralph
|Dema Kovalenko
So while you could probably go back in Magee's short Fire tenure (he hasn't even been here a calendar year) and point to a few more opportunities that would see his goal total even higher, he's still on a record scoring clip for the Fire.
And Mike, keep your head up after that penalty kick save. We expect to see lots more of these celebrations this season:
It was a cold and windy training session on Friday at Toyota Park. After the team went through their final preparations for Saturday's match vs. Philadelphia, they hurried in to join the Fire Front Office staff in wishing head coach Frank Yallop a very happy 50th birthday...
Frank was much obliged by the gesture...
Want to thank all the fire front office and staff for a fantastic birthday surprise #cf97

We gave Fire forward Quincy Amarikwa free reign over our official Twitter account Thursday afternoon for an #AskQuincy session... Here were the results:
I've spent some time this week on Twitter pondering whether or not New York Red Bulls midfielder Tim Cahill would receive any additional suspension for a swing he took on reigning 2013 MLS MVP Mike Magee in the waning moments of Sunday's home opener.
The thoughts crossed my mind after seeing the two game suspension that Fire defender Lovel Palmer received the previous week for a foul that didn't look nearly as egregious as the one Cahill committed on Magee. My suspicions were only heightened when the play didn't make it into MLSsoccer.com's weekly "Instant Replay" feature earlier this week.
Watch it again below:
The MLS Disciplinary Committee decided Wednesday that the foul Cahill committed was only deserving of the yellow card that referee Drew Fischer showed to the Australian international and that no further disciplinary action would be necessary.
Admittedly I'm a homer and I'm sure there has at some point in the 19-year history of MLS there have been more egregious plays that have gone unpunished but it was hard not to feel like Lovel Palmer, who will be suspended again for Saturday's game at D.C. United, was the one losing out in this whole situation.
As I learned Wednesday night, clearly I should have just called on the services of young Keira Magee, who with the help of her father, quite plainly put the whole situation in perspective better than multiple tweets from the club's Team Writer ever could:
I can't believe it either Keira #cf97 #freePalmer https://t.co/gcUjuobrMT

Anyways, it may be time to get the below hashtag some love on Twitter...
It's Opening Day on Sunday and I'm making my normal pre-game rounds at the Section 8 Chicago tailgate. As I parade through the gaggle of the club's most vocal supporters, I stop and welcome back familiar faces from Ultras Red Side, one of the bigger groups inside of Section 8.
As we chat about our hopes for the game and what kind of spirits are keeping us warm, one Antwon Galante reveals a fresh tattoo he had done the night before.
"I had it planned for a while now but I wanted to get it for the new season -- fresh ink and a fresh start for 2014," Galante told me by phone on Wednesday.
The new tattoo features a large Fire logo on his right wrist and above it, an illustration of "The Harlem End" where Section 8 Chicago is based in Toyota Park.
"Obviously I wanted to pay homage to the Fire but also pay tribute to Section 8 and The Harlem End," he said. "It's a special part of our stadium and it's been like a second home to me."
While the tattoo was still obviously raw (and a little painful for Antwon), I quickly took out my iPhone and threw it up on the @ChicagoFire Instagram account. Shortly after @MLS did a #regram of it and Antwon was famous in the #MLSInk world.
You come into work on Wednesday and see the whole #cf97Ink hashtag has started to be populated on Twitter by others that have made that life-long decision to have some type of Chicago Fire-related art adorn their body.

On Tuesday I wrote about Fire newbie Greg Cochrane filling in admirably for veteran left back Gonzalo Segares during his club debut in Sunday's 1-1 draw with New York. You can't always fit every good quote into a story so without just throwing them all away, I decided to include them here...
JC: How has getting time in the CONCACAF Champions League with LA Galaxy so early in your career helped you?
GC: When you're going down to other countries you're playing in hostile environments where the fans throw stuff at you. From that point of view, I also got to see a lot of different styles – Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador – every country has their own flavor and I was able to pick up a lot of different stuff from those games, try to get better and keep improving
JC: When Mike Magee joined the Fire last year, he said playing with the likes of Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and David Beckham everyday gave him a certain confidence. Would you agree?
GC: Definitely. Training with those guys every day, Robbie and Landon and Omar Gonzalez are on national teams. They're the best in their countries and are top class players. You learn so much from them and so when you come to other teams, it gives you confidence to keep doing what you're doing.
JC: As a left back, who do you model your game after most?
GC: Right now my two favorites are Leighton Baines for Everton and Jordi Alba for Barcelona. They're not the biggest of guys and neither am I but when you see guys like that succeeding at the highest level, you know you can do it too. Jordi at Barcelona is busing all over the field and Baines is one of the best left foots in the world serving a ball. I try to emulate both of them.
JC: How difficult would you describe the past few weeks, joining a new team and having to move to a new city all while trying to earn your spot in the team?
GC: It's been a fun experience. I try to take eeverything and put it in a good light. It was nice that the Fire were coming out to LA the first week so I didn't have to rush to put anything into storage. It gave me a couple days to process the fact that I was traded and meet up with the team. Here, you're in the hotels and you don't have a permanent residence yet – that's part is frustrating. It's fun, I've enjoyed it so far – all the guys are real welcoming. It's good to feel welcomed right away – it makes you feel like you can play like yourself and be yourself.

"With this system no great volumes are needed when using whole bloods."
iTAg™ MHC Tetramer Technology
Prior to the development of Class I and Class II MHC Tetramers, identification of antigen-specific T cells was limited due to lack of sensitivity and specificity in existing technology. Now with unparalleled iTAg MHC Tetramer technology, MHC/peptide binding is utilized to detect antigen and MHC-specific T cells at the single-cell level. The immune response information iTAg MHC Tetramers provides is pivotal in helping make the right decisions during vaccine and drug development as well as clinical trials. MHC Tetramers are complexes of four MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) molecules, which are associated with a specific peptide and bound to a fluorochrome. These complexes bind to a distinct set of T cell receptors (TCRs) on a subset of CD8+ T cells. Thus, mixing tetramers with PBLs or whole blood and detection using flow cytometry, a count of all T cells that are specific for one peptide and its matched allele is provided, regardless of functionality. Simply stated, iTAg reagents will allow us to measure the cellular response against one specific peptide.
Benefits of using iTAg MHC Tetramer Technology include:
• Staining with iTAg Tetramers allows precise quantitation of antigen-specific T cells by reducing nonspecific CD8/MHC interactions.
• iTAg Tetramers are more efficient than native Tetramers in sorting specific T cells.
• Manufacturing processes are optimized to ensure stable products and reproducible performance.

Quantum of Content and innovations in user experience
I first came across the work of Adrian Bejan through my old friend, J. Peder Zane who emailed a bunch of classmates about a new book he had co-written with Bejan called Design in Nature, How the Constructal Law Governs Evolution in Biology, Physics, Technology and Social Organization. I called Peder up to talk about it and found myself immediately sucked in.
How could there be a new law in physics that nobody outside of academia seems to know about? There must be something wrong with it, or else I would already know about it, right? But science is on a slower news cycle than technology and, as author William Gibson once joked, "The future is already here—it's just not evenly distributed." And so it is with the Constructal Law, already here but not evenly distributed.
Because Bejan has identified a basic Law of Physics that describes and predicts how design patterns emerge over time, he contends that one can construct a "constructal theory" about any system, animate, inanimate or technological (see more about this at Constructal Theory Web Portal). This last one of course got my attention and I have been peppering my posts with little constructal tidbits ever since. Anybody who has participated in the phenomenon of viral social media understands, intuitively, what Bejan is describing mathematically. There are characteristic ways that flows change their configuration over time to flow more (and more!).
In many parts of science, and in life, we have "black boxed" the processes through which things change. We put energy into a box called entropy and note that it dissipates. We are born and then we die—but in between something happens, we live. The Constructal Law is important because it not only describes the patterns of change in the world within and around us, but it allows us to predict how the configuration of those patterns will evolve over time.
I will be conducting a series of interviews with Bejan about a bunch of topics related to content and technology (see, as well, an article by Bejan and Zane in Salon on the benefits of political "flip-flopping"), but I wanted to start out with a general purpose introduction to his work before getting into the applications.
Interview with Adrian Bejan, J.A. Jones Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Duke University
Conducted via email, February 27- 28, 2012
Q: In the simplest non-technical terms, what is the Constructal Law?
A: The Constructal Law is my statement that there is a universal tendency (a phenomenon) toward design in nature, in the physics of everything. This tendency occurs because all of nature is composed of flow systems that change and evolve their configurations over time so that they flow more easily, to create greater access to the currents they move.
Q: What makes this a law of physics instead of just a theory?
A: Fantastic question! Very few people know the difference. I was lucky to have this explained to me by Angele Kremer-Marietti, a French professor of philosophy of science, in Paris in 2004. Even though I correctly named it the Constructal Law in 1996, I incorrectly referred to it in some of my early articles as constructal "theory."
A theory is a purely mental image of how something should be. In other words, the thought in the dark (with eyes closed) comes first, and the comparison with nature (eyes open) comes later. If the imagined agrees with the real, then the theory is correct.
A law is a concise statement that summarizes a distinct and universal tendency in nature (the phenomenon), previously not recognized as distinct. The key word is "universal." A law is for everything, it is obeyed by every system imaginable (bodies, rivers, machines). A law underpins as many theories as the "things" that the mind wishes to explore, for example:
While I have not purchased the book, this 'law' seems to be extremely vague.
Could you express the law in Mathematical terms?
my initial reaction was to wonder if I had missed something in studying path integrals and classical action 40 years ago…seems I did…this law..
I have read several books written by Helena Blavatsky of the Theosophical Society and it seemed that the very ancient Law of Karma or Cause & Effect could be a pre-cursor of the presently mentioned Constructal Law. The Law of Cause and Effect encompasses everything including time, dimensions and space but I feel that a more specific Constructal Law and its subsequent sub-laws would be more useful at this moment in time. Thank you Anthony for giving life to this generally hard-to-understand subject.
Thanks Anthony, I did look but the links I checked didn't all work and so far I haven't seen a more concise (with mathematical terms) expression. Can you help further and provide one?
"For a finite-size system to persist in time (to live), it must evolve in such a way that it provides easier access to the imposed currents that flow through it."
For this to be a law, it must always be true. If I apply this to my RV, which is a finite system of finite systems and does persist through time, the lack of evolvement would would contradict this law thus proving it false.
I can't see a way around this, and being a logician I should be able to see the error in my reasoning if it existed. As it stands (subject to definitions I may not be aware of) it is now proven false in my paragraph above. It may still hold true as a generalization, but is not true in all cases therefore not a true statement or 'law'.
For it to be useful, it must be predictive. The laws of physics allow me to construct systems and know the outcome before they are created. I can design a valve or a circuit and know what it will do, because the laws of physics are predictive in their application. I can't use that law (as given) to predict how my RV will look a year from now.
…keeping an open mind here, just not finding the answers yet.
As an architect, I came to similar conclusions on design in nature in 1995,
here's the updated review from a practicing architect and designer: http://asynsis.wordpress.com

John Parr: Few musicians from England have made such a mark on America as John Parr has. Calling America his second home, he has spent decades building a successful career and winning over fans from one end of the country to the other. His career started years ago, and he still continues to delight fans domestically.
Parr, who is a native of England, first found fame in America with the song he is probably best known for, "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)," the popular 80's tune that he wrote and performed. Around that same time, he had another hit song that climbed the charts, called "Naughty, Naughty." As a Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter, he has enjoyed a long and successful career as a musician in America.
With Parr's latest album, he returned to his second home for an extensive tour, to celebrate his new 2-CD album, titled "Letter to America." The album features some of his popular hits from years gone by, as well as a variety of new songs. "Letter to America" will also feature such new hits as "The Minute I Saw You" and "The Best a Man Can Get." In addition, he wrote the song "Comin' Home" about his personal journey back to America to play music, reflective of everyone's journey home after being away.
Throughout his career, Parr has savored a wide range of experiences. Having sold more than 10 million albums, he has worked with a variety of top industry names, including Tina Turner, Bryan Adams, Meatloaf, Journey, Richard Marx, the Beach Boys, Celine Dion among others. He has also collaborated on song writing with such people as Mutt Lange, Harold Faltermeyer, Marvin Hamlisch, David Foster and Roger Daltrey.
Sam Llanas (born in 1961) is a singer, acoustic guitarist, and songwriter in several rock and roots rock bands active from the 1980s to the 2000s, including the BoDeans and Absinthe. Sam is known for his unusual and distinctive voice.
Llanas was one of the founding members of the roots rock band the BoDeans, which he formed with high school friend Kurt Neumann in Waukesha, Wisconsin. In 1985, after adding Guy Hoffman (drums) in 1984 and Bob Griffin (bass), the quartet signed a contract with Slash/Warner Records and shortened their name to the BoDeans.
Under the guidance of producer T-Bone Burnett, they entered Hollywood's Sunset Sound Factory in October to record their first album. The critically acclaimed debut Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams was released in 1986. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the band had several singles in the top 40 "mainstream rock" charts. In the mid-1990s, the band had two top 10 songs in the "Adult contemporary" charts.

DISPATCH: No Slowdown for Marriage Equality, Little Letdown in War on Women
PSN on February 11, 2013 - 1:00am
Monday, February 11, 2013
Welcome to the Stateside Dispatch, Progressive States Network's roundup of the latest state policy news. Here's what happened in the states this week:
On Marriage Equality, Eight Years = 180 Degrees
Eight years ago, progressives were recovering from an Election Day that saw a full 11 states ban same-sex marriage at the polls. The environment in early 2013 could not be more different. Coming off of historic successes at the polls in four states in November, momentum behind marriage equality efforts continues to grow in state after state in advance of what is likely to be a landmark Supreme Court decision on the issue this term:
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn voiced his support for same-sex marriage in his "State of the State" address, where a bill is set to be voted on by the full Senate later this month. [Freedom to Marry]
Marriage equality looks like it will also soon be on the front burner in Minnesota, where Gov. Mark Dayton reiterated his support while outlining his legislative priorities for 2013. [MN Progressive Project]
Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee highlighted the economic argument for same-sex marriage, saying that the Ocean State needs "to have the same welcome mat at our door that our neighbors have." [Bloomberg News]
A bipartisan majority of Colorado's Senate voted in favor of civil unions legislation, with State Sen. Ellen Roberts (R) praising the bill for creating a "structured, legalized framework for children to grow up in." [Denver Post]
Indiana's conservative legislative leadership decided to postpone until 2014 a vote on whether to enshrine their ban on same-sex marriage in their state constitution. [Indianapolis Star]
Freedom to Marry, one of the major national groups behind state ballot victories in 2012, announced plans to engage in states including Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Rhode Island in 2013. [BuzzFeed]
Iowa conservatives continue to fight amongst themselves on the issue. [Des Moines Register]
Texas State Representatives Garnet Coleman and Rafael Anchia introduced bills to repeal their state's ban on gay marriage. [Burnt Orange Report]
It's unclear exactly what arguments may be made by Obama administration in briefs filed in the two same-sex marriage cases before the Supreme Court. [NPR]
No Letdown in the War on Women
For months, conservative strategists and pundits have publicly ruminated on the need to turn their focus away from "divisive" social issues — things like the war on women's health that dominated statehouses in 2011 and 2012, when states passed an astounding 135 restrictions on abortion. But if this is the national strategy, word has apparently not yet filtered down to the states just yet. Here's just some of the anti-women's health bills that have been proposed and passed in statehouses over the past week as the war on women continues unabated:
Alabama state lawmakers want to pass restrictions that would close the last five abortion clinics in the state. [ThinkProgress]
So-called fetal "heartbeat" bills are the newest legislation of choice among anti-choice state legislators. [RH Reality Check]
Barely a month into the new year, North Dakota has already seen at least five legislative efforts attacking reproductive rights, including a "heartbeat" bill. [ThinkProgress]
Among the North Dakota bills was a "personhood" constitutional amendment initiative, which passed the state Senate. [Huffington Post]
Mandating transvaginal ultrasounds, such a popular idea with Virginia women, is among the abortion restrictions now being proposed in Michigan. [AP]
A draconian bill proposed by nine Iowa state lawmakers would aim to charge women who seek abortions with murder — with no exceptions for rape or the life of the mother. [Ames Tribune]
None of this appears to be making national conservative leaders particularly happy. [NY Daily News]
Over in Washington state, a measure that would require most insurers to cover abortions is being debated. [AP]
Anti-Union Bills Still Percolating in Midwest
From Missouri to Pennsylvania to D.C., anti-union "right-to-work" laws are still being proposed and debated. Michigan workers continue to fight their law in the courts weeks before it is set to take effect, while workers in nearby states remain prepared for similar legislation to emerge. Meanwhile, an "anti-right-to-work" bill moved forward in Vermont — legislation that would require all workers who receive benefits thanks to a union to pay their fair share.
A standing room only crowd was in attendance as a Missouri House committee debated a "right-to-work" bill. [AP]
Despite being vetoed twice in recent years, the Missouri bill this year could skip the governor entirely and go straight to the voters. [Missouri Watchdog]
Two conservative Missouri lawmakers said that the chances of the bill becoming law during the 2013 session were "slim." [Springfield News-Leader]
In neighboring Kansas, already a "right-to-work" state, the state House voted in favor of a bill that would bar public employee unions from automatically deducting dues for political activity. [Topeka Capital-Journal]
An editorial in the Kansas City Star blasted both the bills in Missouri and Kansas as "pointless attacks on unions," noting that some of the language of the anti-union bills originated with the controversial American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). [Kansas City Star]
Pennsylvania State Rep. Darryl Metcalfe — an ALEC member — is one of the chief backers of his state's "right-to-work" bill. [Center for Media and Democracy]
In Iowa, House Joint Resolution 1, which seeks to add the language in Iowa's anti-dues law to the state Constitution, advanced in a House subcommittee. [Ames Tribune]
Chris Savage of Eclectablog on the legal fight underway in Michigan to have their "right-to-work" law invalidated. [AFL-CIO]
U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced a national "right-to-work" law. [Daily Kos]
Taking a different approach, Vermont's state Senate passed a "fair share bill" by a vote of 24-5. [VT Digger]
Memories of Long Lines Focus Attention on Election Reform
A new analysis showing how widely voters' wait times on Election Day differed by state and demographic group — as well a new report on how voter registration modernization and early voting could help fix the problem — are both helping to focus more attention on election reform efforts early in state legislative sessions. Meanwhile, efforts to suppress the vote are proceeding as well, while a controversial redistricting scheme in Virginia seems to have fallen apart.
PSN released this infographic and map of how voters' wait times differed by state and demographic group. [PSN]
The Brennan Center for Justice released a report with three main recommendations on how to fix the problem of long lines at the polls: modernizing voter registration, a fixed national time period for early voting, and setting minimum standards for polling place access. [Huffington Post]
Nicole Austin-Hillery on the Voter Empowerment Act, comprehensive legislation introduced by U.S. Rep. John Lewis that would "address the core problems that led to voter frustration and disfranchisement in 2012." [Roll Call]
Florida Gov. Rick Scott's own Secretary of State is joining the call for expanded early voting days and locations in Florida. [AP]
Reports indicate that President Obama may soon join the push for action in Congress — perhaps including it in his State of the Union address this week. [New York Times]
Ari Berman in The Nation on the collapse of the bipartisan consensus in support of the Voting Rights Act, and why conservatives are now trying to destroy it. [The Nation]
A bill that would have purged Colorado's voter rolls of "suspected" non-citizens failed to pass. [Project Vote]
Virginia's partisan redistricting scheme, launched last month while a key State Senator was absent attending President Obama's inauguration, fell apart after being ruled "not germane" by the Speaker of the House. [ThinkProgress]
Virginia passed another measure restricting the types of identification accepted at the polls. [Blue Virginia]
Legislation introduced in Indiana would attempt to prevent out-of-state college students from voting. [Indianapolis Star]

AUSTIN -- A close call for an Austin police officer with a man who investigators said set his own house on fire.
Police said when they arrived Wednesday afternoon they could see flames on the second floor of a home on Dagon Drive. They said U Than Bana was standing at the top of the stairs.
Investigators said Bana swung a club at an officer several times before jumping out a second floor window.
Officers arrested him outside.

The second TEDxBuffalo event occupied the Montante Center at Canisius College on Tuesday, inspiring the 100 seleted participants. The brainstorming event featured speakers who have done interesting things and, the theory goes, hearing about them and talking about them will inspire others to try new things themselves. Rules required that only 100 people could attend, but videos of the speakers will be posted online soon so the rest of us can get onboard.
Buffalo has some truly inspired people so here's hoping that getting a bunch of them in a room can bring out more good stuff.
TEDx events go on all over the world. Glad we have people motivated enough to being the concept here. Here's hoping it continues.

By Patrick Anderson
A survival suit believed to be that of Matteo Russo, whose fishing boat Patriot sank in January under still unknown circumstances, has been recovered off the Cape Cod shore by a lifeguard.
The suit, enclosed in an orange bag with no signs of being worn before entering the water, was spotted floating in the surf Monday between Lecount Hollow and Marconi beaches on the Atlantic coast of Wellfleet, about halfway up the forearm of the Cape, the Coast Guard confirmed yesterday.
After pulling it from the water between 20 and 30 feet from the beach, the lifeguard found the name Russo on the suit, according to Angela Sanfilippo, president of the Gloucester Fishermen's Wives Association.
The suit was taken to Wellfleet Police and is now in the possession of Coast Guard investigators working to determine what sank the Patriot and took the life of the 36-year-old Russo and his mate and father-in-law John Orlando, 59.
A spokeswoman for the Coast Guard yesterday would not confirm whether the suit was believed to belong to Russo, although she did acknowledge that it had been taken by investigators working on the Patriot case. Wellfleet Police were also unable to confirm whether the suit could be identified.
No other items or debris are known to have been recovered in the area near where the suit was found.
Sanfilippo announced news of the suit's recovery to those gathered in support of the fishing industry, including scores of fishermen and their families, at a Gloucester vigil Wednesday night, hours after she was contacted by the lifeguard's family about the discovery.
"Every time something happens, it relives it," Sanfilippo said by phone yesterday about the grief the Patriot's loss has caused family of the crew and fellow Gloucester fishermen.
Sanfilippo said she contacted the Coast Guard about the suit yesterday morning.
While the cause of the Patriot's sinking has yet to be determined, Coast Guard officials have said they believe the catastrophe that befell the boat shortly after 1:15 a.m. on Jan. 3 while fishing Stellwagen Bank was sudden and left the crew little or no time to react or put on survival suits.
The discovery of the suit still packed in its bag appears consistent with that assessment.
"They didn't have time for anything," Sanfilippo said.
Emergency survival suits are generally sealed, water-tight "dry suits" designed to be put on quickly over clothes in the event of a possible immersion in cold water. They provide insulation from cold water; some also provide flotation and are designed be put on in less than one minute.
The survival suit recovery comes as the Coast Guard enters the seventh month of its investigation into the cause of the Patriot's sinking.
Last month, the Coast Guard released a report acknowledging it was slow to react to the first signs that the vessel was in trouble, a fire alarm radio signal that sounded nearly 2 1âÑ2 hours before the first rescue craft was deployed.
But the report also says that the sinking probably occurred so quickly that a faster response would not have been able to save the crew, plunged into 42-degree water without time to don survival suits.
Although the Coast Guard has not ruled on the cause of the sinking, Russo's family has begun a civil legal action against Hornbeck Offshore Services, the Louisana-based owners of a tugboat they believe brought down the Patriot while towing a barge.

ROCHESTER -- Darcy Regier and Ted Black were both freely tossing around the "Sabres University" moniker today in Blue Cross Arena, and Black went one step further when he introduced Ron Rolston as the "first professor at the University of Sabres." That's otherwise known as the new head coach of the Rochester Amerks.
It's an out-of-the-box hire when you're putting a coach with no pro experience in the AHL, but Rolston has a combined 20 years with the US National Development Team and as an assistant in major Division I college hockey. And he's not unfamiliar to Regier, who said he met Rolston several years ago in Lake Placid through Jon Christiano, the Sabres' director of pro scouting, and has followed his work since with the US program.
"I personally believe you have to be in the forefront of whatever business you're in," Regier said. "In our case, we have for a number of reasons strived to find advantages outside of conventional wisdom. ... I recognized that we first decided to come back to Rochester, the reference to University was largely about doing things differently, taking more responsibility for the players' development and also demand the player take more responsiblity for his own development.
"When we started to look at the model and started to look at potential coaches who could fill that and believed they could fill that type of a model, Ron to me was right at the forefront. He was our first
Rolston said he's been watching Terry Pegula closely since the Sabres owner donated $88 million to Penn State to start a hockey program and build an arena last fall.
"There's not many organizations I'd want to work for in terms of their philsophy, core values, their beliefs in how they want to run things," said Rolston, 44. "Buffalo was certainly at the top of my list in terms of organization, in terms of clear vision on where they want to go, in terms of what they believe in, the values they have and philosophy they have for players at every level. To me, it was extremely enticing."
Regier said the Sabres approached USA Hockey for permission to talk to Rolston and interviewed him last week in Buffalo.
"I feel very strongly that he is the only best candidate but we are going to learn from him," Regier said. "He hopefully will learn from us and it will point to championship teams in Rochester and Buffalo."

Some major changes are in store for the Terre Haute Holiday Inn and surrounding property, including renovation of the existing five-story structure, potential construction of new hotel and two new restaurants.
The developer, General Hotels Corp., has a request before the Vigo County Area Plan Commission to plat nine parcels of land into five buildable lots to better meet existing and future needs.
The plan commission will consider the request when it meets at 7 p.m. tonight.
"It divides up the property into lots to match up with the existing structures that are there," said Jeremy Weir, executive director of the Area Planning Department.
It creates a lot for a future hotel, which would be located between the existing hotel and Springhill Suites, and a lot for a new restaurant.
Bill Burdine, Holiday Inn general manager, said the plans are "not set in concrete yet."
One definite is a Panda Garden Express that will be located on property south of the hotel. "It's a done deal," Burdine said. "We sold property to them."
Talking about other changes, he said, "It's pretty well known that in 2015, our franchise agreement is up on the Holiday Inn," which will be 51 years old Saturday. Major changes are needed to refranchise, he said.
Over the next two years, proposed plans call for the Holiday Inn's two-story structures to be demolished, while the five-story structure would be gutted and renovated to make it more modern. "It will look like we built a new hotel," Burdine said.
The renovated five-story structure could be a Holiday Inn or a different brand under the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) logo, Burdine said.
A new hotel with suites would go between the existing Holiday Inn and Springhill Suites.
Proposed plans also call for a new restaurant, a steakhouse. When asked the name of the restaurant, Burdine said, "I'm not at liberty to say."
The Holiday Inn's existing bar and restaurant also would be demolished, while the banquet facilities would remain.
The subdivision name is Terre Haute Inn Developers Corner.
In a separate matter, Hulman and Co. is requesting a mining overlay district on property east of Hunt Street, about 3/4 of a mile north of Indiana 42. The purpose is "for oil extraction purposes," according to information provided to area planning.
The property is currently zoned A-1 or agricultural district.
"It's really just an extension of their existing project," said attorney Lou Britton. It would be for another well facility, but not for storage. It would be located on the opposite side of Hunt Road from their existing facility, he said.
Britton described mining overlay as "kind of a temporary zoning classification that allows for oil/gas exploration."
Once production stops, it reverts back to agricultural, he said. The proposal involves about 16 acres of property.

On a scale of zero (no chance) to 10 (virtual certainty), how likely is it that President Obama will win reelection?
Average: 7.1
Slight chance (1-3): 0%
Moderate chance (4-6): 31%
Strong chance (7-10): 69%
Moderate chance (4-6)
"We will be returning to a 2000 or 2004 Electoral College squeaker election."
"McCain won 47 percent. If you think Romney won't win that same number, you're a fool. I call that a close election."
"The voters who matter like him, are disappointed in the job he is doing, and have serious doubts about the apparent Republican nominee. On these facts, the nod goes to the devil they know."
"It'll be close, but Obama's strength with nonwhite voters may be enough to eke it out over Romney."
"As long as the Fed keeps up the slow and steady support, Obama will have a positive-trajectory economy to win on."
"Romney is such a lousy candidate. Despite a long list of reasons why Obama shouldn't win, he will."
Strong chance (7-10)
"Close, yes. But this isn't the year of the millionaire corporate raider."
"Economy rebounding, Mitt's disastrous primary performance, and the head-to-head matchup all work in his favor."
"Demographics are destiny, and they really favor Obama, who also understands them."
"By November no one worried about their job will believe Romney is worried about their job, too."
"Mitt Romney could barely get the Republican base excited. It smells like 1996, but who knows, it might even be 1984."
"Immigration, the Ryan plan, the 'Buffett Rule,' Osama [bin Laden], and GM. Not as close as people think."
On a scale of zero (no chance) to 10 (virtual certainty), how likely is it that President Obama will win reelection?
Average: 5
Slight chance (1-3): 11%
Moderate chance (4-6): 76%
Strong chance (7-10): 13%
Slight chance (1-3)
"Tough to win with an economy that's softening once more [and] being overseen by a guy who never worked in the private sector."
"If the election is about his record, the president can't win. He will try hard to avoid running on his record, and he might succeed."
Moderate chance (4-6)
"I'm starting to sense another 1980."
"This election can truly go either way—and could make 2000 look like a landslide."
"The lessening of the economic headwinds have made this race a virtual toss-up."
"If it is a referendum on Obama and the economy, Obama loses."
"The 'black swan' (unforeseen major event) will likely come from abroad, melting Obama's numbers. He is simply out of his depth."
"[The] election is a referendum on his economic policies. They are not that great."
"The demographics are on his side. By the fall, we Republicans will be wondering what happened to the Southwest swing states."
"The Republicans have the potential of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory—have to try to avoid further alienation of women and Hispanics, but economy will continue to be the issue."
Strong chance (7-10)
"His strategy is to lay the blame for the economic crisis on the Bush administration, offer no solutions for the future, and draw out Republicans on their extreme social agenda—a trap they will fall into with relative ease."

"Mitt's 'deport-them-all' primary position will be hard to walk back."
"Can you say Nevada, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico?"
"If I was a Republican playing the long game, I'd stop trying to throw people out of the country who've lived here a long time. The long-run trend is bad for Rs."
"Put bluntly, Latinos think Republicans hate them."
"This issue will pay dividends for Democrats for generations to come."
Help a little
"Would be more except for the increasing evangelism of Hispanic-Americans eligible to vote."
"Immigration has the potential to inspire turnout on the Democratic side. While the same might be true for Republicans, the turnout would not be coming from a lower-turnout group."
"Latino voters in some states may be upset at the Republicans' posturing on immigration during the primary season, but it is not a game-changer. Let's face it—it's not like Republicans were planning on winning 40 percent of the Latino vote in any scenario."
"It would help more if we were actually working to advance the solution more."
"Will be crushing for Romney when he's hit with million [dollars] of ads on Hispanic TV relating his love for the Arizona immigration law."
No effect
"It's a polarizing issue, and those on both sides have their minds made up. They're not persuadable, and it's unlikely anything will happen on it anyway."

"This issue cuts sharply ... both ways."
"The immigration opportunity sailed long ago for Republicans. Bad economy has slowed the flow. Zero impact."
"Did it help John McCain any to be strongly pro-immigration?"
Hurt a little
"Romney should have been the Republican to defend the American Dream, but he pandered to the fringeinstead. Very disappointing, and now he'll pay a price."
"2012 may be the last national election that Republicans can win without having addressed broad immigration reform successfully. Has to get done."
"Our saving grace is that the economy is far more important than immigration, even with Hispanic voters."
"Republicans are on the wrong side of history on immigration, but the Romney team has time to fix the problem."
"Romney needs a 'compassionate conservative' answer on this. Otherwise, Obama's scare tactics will hurt him badly with Hispanics."
"A little now, a lot in 20 years and forever after that."
"We will find out.… If we lose Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, the answer changes to a lot."
Hurt a lot
"Republicans have chosen to be hostile to the idea of the melting pot. Historically, nationalistic zealotry has always had a backlash in presidential elections."

Voters said "no" to an Elk Rapids Public Schools bond proposal for the second time in less than four months.
The school district's proposal was rejected today by a count of 1,425 "no" votes to 1,126 "yes" votes, according to unofficial election results from the Antrim County clerk's office.
Townships in the district were voting on a bond that would have paid for a new high school gymnasium, athletic facility updates and increased security. The tax bond failed to pass by a narrow margin on Nov. 5.

A few puppies from Bonnie Blue Rescue in Virginia will be in the national spotlight this weekend, appearing in Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl IX.
The annual event is a popular Super Bowl day show on Animal Planet featuring puppies "playing football," a kitten half-time show, hedgehog cheerleaders and more.
The 2013 Animal Planet Puppy Bowl will be at 3 p.m. Sunday on Animal Planet.
The Super Bowl is this Sunday, Feb. 3. The Baltimore Ravens are playing the San Francisco 49ers.
[ See Ravens-49ers history and find out where to watch Super Bowl XLVII in McLean here. ]
Bonnie Blue Rescue is based in Richmond, but places animals up and down the East Coast, said Bonnie Blue Rescue Vice President Patricia Rector.
The organization has hubs in Alabama and Connecticut in addition to their Virginia base. Volunteers for Bonnie Blue rescued 387 dogs in 2012, mostly from high-kill rate shelters.
The organization is entirely run by volunteers.
"It's bringing attention to us and our dogs, and it's just been a really great thing for us," Rector said.
The Bonnie Blue Rescue puppies who will be on television this weekend tackling each other include:
- Althea, an Australian Shepherd/Catahoula mix
- Chestnut, a Labrador Retriever/Austraian Shepherd mix (see video of Chestnut in the media player above)
- Pearl, an Australian Catahoula/Labrador Retriever mix
- Shadow, a Catahoula/Labrador Retriever
All four of those dogs have already been spoken for (Chestnut will be living with an Animal Planet cameraman), but Bonnie Blue Rescue has dozens of other cute pups available now.
You can see the full 2013 Animal Planet Puppy Bowl XI starting line-up here.
Looking for a Pet?
Bonnie Blue Rescue has 20 - 30 dogs available for adoption at any given time. Check the Bonnue Blue Rescue site to see the available dogs. (Note: If the dog you want is in Connecticut, Alabama or elsewhere, Bonnie Blue will bring the dog to you.)
In addition, Patch features pets every week on Patch sites statewide from Mutts Matters rescue.
And, of course, plenty of cute dogs, cats, rabbits and a variety of other pets are always available at the Fairfax County Animal Shelter, 4500 West Ox Road. More info about the Fairfax County Animal Shelter is available here.
