Just kidding they casually played it off as human error and made false promises to 'clean up' and make sure that nothing like that ever happens again. Never apologized to the Badgers and their fans. Never apologized to the Big 10. Instead they were bee boppin' and skattin all over us! You can read the entire statement from Pac 12 commissioner Larry Scott here . What really chaps my ass is the initial 'that was an unusual situation to end a game.' Really? A quarterback trying to center the ball for a better look at a game winning field goal. That stuff was crazy! I mean I've never heard of a team attempting that before. Real wild card play calling. It's no wonder the officials brains locked up faster than my blogging computer when something pops up with Flash. Can't even really blame them now that I really think of it.
Anyhow the bottom line is I think football fans in this state are getting real sick of the Monday and Tuesday routine of reading an article apologizing for how our team got jobbed. Not to mention there's not a single reference to what will be done to that officiating crew. My guess is nothing because the only job in the world with less accountability than blogging is officiating. And at the end of the day I'm not even sure what punishment would make any Badger fan feel better. I guess to steal another verse from the book of Costanza, all I really want is an actual apology and for them to be fired .
PS: Oh and ASU head coach Todd Graham came out yesterday and told people just to move on and that the better team won anyway . Todd Graham is one more quote away from going full Harbaugh.
Double PS: You know what punishment would fit? 2 minutes in the Boo Box. Legitimately the scariest thing I've ever seen in cinema history. Makes Buffalo Bill look like Mickey Mouse.

ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB News Channel 5)- It's been almost a year since a fire heavily damaged one Cenla school. But now, there is light at the end of the tunnel on the road to recovery. News Channel 5's Rachael Penton takes a look at the work to restore Martin Park Elementary School.
It's been nearly a year since a fire set by a student put Martin Park Elementary School out of operation.
"It's an adjustment to get used to, but they've really been troopers," says principal Cynthia Corley.
Students returned to a temporary location on Lincoln Drive that they've been using ever since.
"It's not perfect, but at least we got to stay together," adds Corley.
And, it's been a bit of an adjustment.
"Some of us have learned to do what I call old-school teaching, because we had all our technology and everything over there and we don't have that here," says fourth grade teacher Michelle Hay.
The fire began in a fifth grade classroom, but the damage affected the entire school- making the rebuilding project a long process.
"The steam and soot traveled throughout the facility into every nook and cranny so everything had to be cleaned and removed," says Roy Rachal, director of risk management for the Rapides Parish School System.
Since last December, crews have been continually cleaning the building so that it's safe for crews- and eventually students- to enter again.
"Making sure that it's safe to breathe the air that's in the facility and then also taking surface samples to make sure that the soot and char has been removed," adds Rachal.
Once environmental tests come back with the all-clear, crews can begin rebuilding the school from it's skeleton, complete with some changes.
"It has to be brought up to ADA compliant standards, new fire regulation codes, new plumbing codes," says Rachal.
Once the project is complete, students and staff can return to the building, and it can't come soon enough for the Martin Park Community.
"We hope to get back over there so we can really get back into the community and build those relationships," adds Corley.
The project is expected to be completed sometime in the spring- at a cost of around five million dollars, but students will likely move back into the original school at the start of the next school year.

Dean Wright is Global Editor, Ethics, Innovation and News Standards. Any opinions are his own.
It's Oscar time, and I'm again reminded of the debt Hollywood and journalists owe each other. Journalists supply Hollywood with great stories and Hollywood sometimes makes us look cool—or at least worth a couple of hours of time and the price of a ticket.
Put aside the fact that a number of Hollywood movies literally are made from the pages of journalism --"Saturday Night Fever," "Dog Day Afternoon" and "Adaptation," to name only a few, were all based on magazine stories. We journalists are also the very characters that Hollywood screenwriters sometimes love.
In addition to sometimes bringing out our cool factor—although, really, what aspiring reporter could resist Robert Redford's corduroy suits in "All the President's Men"? -- Hollywood movies can illuminate the kind of ethical, moral and values issues that journalists have to deal with.
This year's slate of Oscar nominees again includes a movie with journalism as its subject. "Frost/Nixon," the film adaptation of the Broadway play about British journalist David Frost's pursuit of the ultimate interview with disgraced former U.S. President Richard Nixon, is nominated for five Oscars.

Mary Mrdjenovic is a senior at Regina High School in Warren. These days she is a very popular girl.Mrdjenovic is a star in three sports for the Satellites, and she carries a 4.0 grade point average. However, a freak accident on the ice during hockey practice led Mrdjenovic to breaking her back."It was just any normal day. We were doing just a normal drill and kind of lost my edge and took a bad hit, slammed into the boards, and that was just it," she explained.At first, Mrdjenovic didn't think much of it."It wasn't really bad pain," she said. "I was really sore and just had a bad kink in my back. I didn't think anything was worse than that."However, after several tests, the news couldn't be any more shocking."Three vertebrae were broken, but one was bad enough to where it was not supporting my spine," Mrdjenovic said.When the tests revealed her injury, she was in surgery the next day.Mrdjenovic returned to school last Friday ahead of schedule. Her doctor says she is the perfect patient."She did everything he told her to do, so she came back to school two weeks earlier than he planned," said Athletic Director Diane Laffey.Before all of this took place, Mrdjenovic applied for the Henrik Zetterberg Scholarship Award that the Red Wings' captain gives yearly for the top female hockey player in the state."I had been one of the top three people for the scholarship, but I did not receive the scholarship initially," said Mrdjenovic.Her injury took place on February 20, but Zetterberg didn't hear about it until a week later."He had found out that I had an injury, and he gave me a perseverance scholarship because he wants me to pursue my career at college," Mrdjenovic said.She has never met Zetterberg in person, but I have been in contact with the Red Wings. They are working with those who handle Zetterberg's scholarships and have agreed to bring Mrdjenovic and her family to a game in the near future so she can meet her favorite player.Mrdjenovic is expected to make a full recovery. She said contact sports are frowned upon in the future, but other than that she will be just fine as she heads to Kettering University in the fall.

Level Range: 35-45
Special Notes: Uldaman is fairly straightforward, but it is quite long, with 8 potential bosses.
PLEASE NOTE: After you complete Boss 6 (Grimlock), you can run back to the map room and summon Ironaya as an additional boss. It's not required, but her death gives a quest to kill Archaedas. There is no path drawn on the map back to the map room, but you can just retrace your steps back to Boss 4.
- Olaf, Eric 'The Swift', and Baelog: When you pull one, you pull them all. Olaf is tank-ish, Baelog is ranged, and Eric has a fastrun ability. Kill Baelog first to stop his ranged attacks, then Olag, then Eric. You no longer need the medallion from the table.
- Revelosh: Pulling his guards will pull him. Shoots Lightning Bolts.
- Ancient Stone Keeper: Has a movement slowing effect. Pats sometimes enter from the hallway just off his platform.
- Obsidian Sentinel: Has Spell Reflection. Spawns Obsidian Shard guardians, but shrinks.
- Galgann Firehammer: Clear out the room before pulling him and his two guards. Has fire spells; run away when he starts to cast Fire Nova.
- Grimlock: Pulls with two guards and a basilisk. Has lightning spells and a Shrink.
- *Ironaya: Has a knockback ability does melee damage.
- Archaedas: Can be a tough fight, but it's been toned down a bit. Channel the altar. Archaedas will come to life. He brings the small Earthen Shapers along the edge of the room to life one by one. He then wakes the guardians along the inner circle. He then wakes the big stone guardians in front of the doors. Throughout, he continues to pull small guardians from the edge of the room.

You know what takes care of those Dark Iron Dwarves? Blood Boil! Hahahahahahahahahaha, suckerrrrs.

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
Nb: infants must be under the age of 2 and
children must be under the age of 12 at the time of
Chalets and Chalet Hotels in the snow-sure resort of Sölden are hard to find and we are delighted that our first Chalet Hotel in this resort has proved a great success. The Hermann is a charming and traditional hotel in which our guests enjoy the full catering services.Not many chalets or hotels in Sölden can offer better access to the skiing. The Chalet Hotel Hermann has one of the most scenic locations in the resort with several access routes to the skiing. The lively atmosphere of Solden's centre can be reached by a 5 minute walk to a small funicular down to the town plus we offer free evening shuttle service. Whether you are a newcomer to winter sports or a seasoned snow hound, there is suitable access to Solden's skiing for all.
From the Hermann intermediate skiers can walk 65m down a path, cross a lane and then ski down a small track to the red 'Gigi' run. At the end of the day you ski back from the No.9 red run which comes down from Gaislachkogl. Beginners' lessons start at the Innerwald area which is a gentle 5 minutes' walk away and we have arranged that rented skis and boots can be left overnight at the Innerwald ski hire shop. There is also a free ski bus which stops just outside and runs at the start and end of the ski day.For guests seeking a traditional Austrian place to stay, the Chalet Hotel Hermann definitely ticks all the right boxes being well laid out and lovingly cared for over the years. But the Hermann isn't just one building; it also boasts the 'Panorama' wing just adjacent where the building design and interiors are stylish and contemporary.
The owner has renovated the lounge area in the Chalet Hotel Hermann to create a more modern yet comfortable area ideal for our guests to enjoy our inclusive afternoon tea with freshly baked cakes or pre-dinner drinks with canapés. The dining room is light and spacious with traditional Austrian style seating, as well as regular tables and chairs. The bar will most definitely become the focal point of the hotel, being central in the building and buzzing with a lively and welcoming atmosphere.
All the bedrooms within the Chalet Hermann have their own en suite facilities, either private shower or bath, most with retro-tiling much beloved by Austrian architects! Most also have a balcony or terrace. In the 'Panorama' wing the bedrooms all have balcony or terrace with fantastic views and are all en suite with showers and wcs that have been tastefully designed with clean classic lines and smart fittings throughout. Guests staying in the Panorama wing will enjoy their meals in the Hermann which is literally just next door and share all its facilities. The Panorama wing houses its own ski room plus an Austrian-style lounge where afternoon tea can be enjoyed. The Wellness area in the Chalet Hermann boasts a sauna and steam room with power showers and a relaxation area – the ideal spot in which to ease aching muscles, unwind and completely relax.

With the greater kitchen facilities of a hotel, our professional chefs are able to offer choices of menu at dinner, generally including lighter as well as more hearty options, and always a vegetarian choice for each course. Guests will be asked to choose their evening meals at breakfast for that evening from a varied daily selection.
Our Chalet Hotel adult-only dinners offer 5 courses, starting with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and a cheese selection to round off your meal in style.

Let me just tell you how my afternoon went, as it's a perfect example of the lack of support I get from the new boss. Today was going to be my first big meeting with <that big online auction site>. I did what I usually do when I know I'm going to be nervous, which is to script my opening remarks, and a few key points, so if I ever get tongue-tied I can look at my script and read from it a little until I get on track. I double check with the boss that he wants me to chair the meeting, because I don't want to talk out of turn, even though he told me to call the meeting and gave my name as the project manager. He says 'sure, sure, what time is it again? ok. I'll try to call in for it'. He says, 'you pretty much know what we want, you can handle it'.
So we were all going to call in from our desks. I had my script up on the screen. It's meeting time, and I try to call in. I keep getting this "not in service" message. So I run over to the boss who's on another call. I tell him the number isn't working. The Director of Search Marketing runs out of her office with her headset on. 'Is there something wrong with the number?' I tell her I am getting errors and she says, "Well I dialed in fine. I'm on the call now. Come into my office and we'll take the call from there." (There being where my meeting notes ... were not.)
So I go into the office with her and realize I have to wing it. We're on the call and no one else is on it. The auction site sends us a message that they can't get onto the call. My boss finally looks at the conference number he sent me and realizes it's the wrong one with 2 numbers transposed. He tries to read us the correct number but starts fumbling them. The director gets exasperated and says "just come into my office and we'll have the auction site call us at my desk".
So the point is, my boss wouldn't have even been on the call if he hadn't botched the conference # he gave me and the director insisted he join us. He comes in, and as I'm leading the call, he butts in with all this specific information about project dates - really critical info that I wouldn't have had (the auction guys spent most of the time on the call trying to convince us to move up our dates) that I know had just been decided today, but he really should have shared with me prior to the meeting.
So there again, is an example of how he told me to take charge of this meeting, and didn't give me the information I needed to to get the job done. Heck he didn't even give me the right number to tell the other company to call.
I think in a way, it's better to have a boss that's inattentive. He seems way more into slacking off than me, which means he hasn't been a stickler. He's also nice and has a sense of humor, but I think I'm going to have to work a little harder to validate my "intel" that I get from him because I could end up looking bad due to his mistakes.
More later....

After five months of testimony and about 80 witnesses for the prosecution, the defense took the lead Thursday in the Kwame Kilpatrick corruption trial.
Under the law, the defense has no obligation to put on witnesses or even respond to the government's accusations. Based on what I saw today, they may have been a lot better off sending this case straight to the jury.
The Grind is a club for so-called gentleman. At one time it was slated to be replaced by a skin bar known as Club Rain. But first, they had to get by mayoral pal Bobby Ferguson.
Before resting their case, prosecutors went over one last text message that they say showed Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and Ferguson in cahoots, running a racket out of city hall.
FERGUSON: Club Rain, the white boy thinks he is slick. I don't have any real money. FEI did $20,000 job and he won't pay. Is it all right if building safety [expletive] with his permit?
KILPATRICK: Will call later.
But FBI Agent Bob Beeckman acknowledged to Kilpatrick attorney Jim Thomas that he saw no evidence Kilpatrick took any action. He also agreed with prosecutor Mark Chutkow that there was no evidence Kilpatrick told Ferguson to take a hike.
THOMAS: The mayor is not encouraging him in any way is he?
BEECKMAN: Not in that text message. No.
CHUTKOW: Did you see if Mayor Kilpatrick said that's an inappropriate request to make of me?
BEECKMAN: No.
By noon, defense attorneys started calling their own witnesses for the first time since the trial began in September.
For their second witness, the defense called an accountant, but by the time he was done testifying, you would've thought he was working for the prosecution.
Gary Leeman is a forensic accountant and a witness for Kilpatrick. Nevertheless, he agreed with prosecutor Michael Bullotta that the money the non-profit Kilpatrick Civic Fund spent on yoga lessons was inappropriate.
LEEMAN: I would doubt that would be a deductible expense.
BULLOTA: Wouldn't be close?
LEEMAN: Not even close.
Fox 2 legal analyst Charlie Langton said that kind of testimony doesn't bode well for Kilpatrick and company.
"Jurors remember that. Why? Because the defense doesn't have to do anything, and if the defense does something it better be good. And if it's not, not good."
Still Ferguson attorney Gerald Evelyn said the defense will do its job.
"We've always had the ball in some ways, but this is just part of the process. We'll see how it all turns out."
Because of a scheduling conflict, Leeman will not be back on the stand until Tuesday. But based on what I saw today, defense attorneys wouldn't mind seeing him leave town for good.

By Alexis WileyFox 2 News ReporterDETROIT (WJBK) -- New evidence may prove an innocent man is serving a life sentence for murder. Meanwhile, one witness is breaking his silence.33-year-old Elroy Lucky Jones was convicted of murdering a man inside a now vacant apartment building on Detroit's east side in June 2006.A man, who we are not identifying, said he saw the killer and believes Jones, who is in his sixth year of a life sentence, is the wrong guy."I was in the building across the street looking out the back bedroom and I heard gunfire erupt," he said. "The brother had made it out and then the gunman leaned out the window with an automatic weapon and was shooting at him as he was running down the sidewalk. His entire torso, he was wearing a white T-shirt, he leaned out the window and he was shooting at him."How sure is he that Jones was not the man he saw leaning out of that window with an AK-47?"I'm 100 percent sure. When I was in court and they brought Elroy in there, I immediately said to the prosecutor that I don't think this is the guy because Elroy was a big guy and I knew he couldn't have got his entire torso out that window."But this witnesses' testimony wasn't enough to convince a jury. Another eyewitness identified Jones as the shooter and he was convicted of murder.After the conviction was overturned when trial transcripts were stolen, Jones was tried and convicted again, but his attorney, Craig Tank, said just months ago police dropped a bombshell. According to a motion filed Wednesday, investigators obtained the name of a person who claims he drove the shooter to the apartment and he identified another man as the shooter. Investigators then re-interviewed witnesses and almost all of them ID'ed the same guy."There's someone that's purportedly committed a murder here that's been running around for the last seven years," said Tank. "It should be repulsive to anybody's sense of justice."Now he's demanding the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office turn over the evidence to prove Elroy Jones does not belong in jail.That request for evidence will be heard by a judge next Friday.

Since Abel was killed by Cain (Gen 4), death has been feared by all. An inevitable fate! With the entrance of sin (Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden- Gen 3), death became the penalty of disobedience to God. Throughout the Old Testament, nothing could erase this penalty. Man's sin was smeared over every generation. Only the annual Passover sacrifice could provide forgiveness of sin and redemption before the Lord. This came with a blood sacrifice (unblemished lamb or goat) at the hands of the High Priest and the Levites.
Death was a dread, an enemy that was always lurking in the shadows wherever man was found. The deceiver, the serpent, the supreme rival of God, Satan himself, was outsmarting men and women 'right and left'. The Spirit may have been willing, but the flesh was weak. Temptation (Satan's great weapon) was strong.

MLS Regular Season
A third round pick in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft, Chicago Fire midfielder Logan Pause had already capped off a decade with the Men in Red last year before extending his deal to come back for a 12th season with the club in 2014 on Friday.
Logan's longevity got me thinking about players that held the longest consecutive tenures in terms of both years and games played ith one MLS club. After some research, I found that Fire legend and new assistant coach C.J. Brown holds the record for consecutive seasons with one team at 13, while Logan will tie Cobi Jones (LA Galaxy) and Pablo Mastroeni (Colorado Rapids) when he makes his first appearance for the Fire in 2014.
A look at the Top 10 players with the most consecutive seasons at one MLS club...

You may be wondering where are Jaime Moreno and Ramiro Corrales? Good question. Moreno holds the MLS record for most seasons with one club, spending 14 years with D.C. United but he did have one stint with the MetroStars that broke up his two long stints in the nation's capital.
In Corrales' case, while he never played for another MLS club other than San Jose after being traded back to the Quakes in 2001, he did spend a few years abroad in Norway with HamKam that keep him out of the consecutive seasons count. Corrales spent a total of 12 seasons in San Jose over three stints (1996-97, 2001-04, 2008-13)

Working hard or hardly working as you countdown the minutes till Holiday Break?
If you're doing either, set aside seven spare minutes to watch all 58 goals scored by the Fire in 2013...
WATCH: 2013 Chicago Fire Goals
Mike Magee became the first Chicago Fire player since Wilman Conde in 2009 to grab an MLS Best XI selection on Tuesday. The Chicago native joined an exclusive club of 14 players that have earned the honor while with the Men in Red, adding up to 22 total selections (third highest in MLS) since 1998.
For the record, former Fire captain Chris Armas has the most Best XI selections with the club, earning five (1998-2001, 2003) during his 10-year career with the Men in Red.
See below the club's previous MLS Best XI selections:
Just eight days away from Major League Soccer's MVP announcement and Mike Magee has picked up another endorsement, this time coming from SBNation.com's merry band of soccer editors. SBNation.com is of course the parent organization of Chicago Fire-related blog, "Hot Time in Old Town".
Magee garnered 14 of the 25 available votes, doubling up on next closest candidate Robbie Keane.
The nod from SBNation.com is the latest in a series of endorsements featuring Landon Donovan (sort of), The Washington Post's Steven Goff and Soccer America's Ridge Mahoney. Let us not forget, Magee also collected Section 8 Chicago's 2013 Supporters Player of the Year Award on Saturday as well.
The MLS Best XI (which Magee is expected to be on) is set to be announced next Tuesday, December 3 while the MVP award will be doled out Thursday, December 5.
Magee would be the first player in the club's 16-year playing history to garner the league's highest individual honor.
Until then, watch the #MikeMageeMVP video one more time...
One of my favorite days of the year is the day the MLS schedule is released.
For many fans, this announcement means compiling a list of blackout days where the Fire are playing at Toyota Park. For Fire fans not residing in the Chicagoland area, it means finding out when the Men in Red will be visiting your nearest MLS team. But for someone like me who has been on quite a few road trips (over 50 but not as many as this guy), the schedule release day means not only looking at the home fixtures but also the away ones.
Questions I asked myself earlier today: Does Toronto away fall on weekend instead of a Wednesday night? How much does it cost to fly to Portland in March? These important questions get answered on this special day.
With that in mind, let's take a look at five exciting dates in the 2014 Fire calendar:
Week 2 – Portland away – Saturday, March 15
Ever since Portland came into the league in 2011, the Fire supporters umbrella, Section 8 Chicago, has had a very good relationship with the Timbers Army, Portland's main supporters group. The relationship is based on mutual respect and a shared "dislike" of all things Seattle.
Fire fans are always treated well in Portland and it's not uncommon for Fire and Timbers fans to hang out before and after the games, something you would never see Fire fans doing in Columbus or Kansas City.
The atmosphere at JELD-Wen Field is also second to none. Though is certainly isn't going to be the easiest away trip on the field or the lightest on the wallet, I think we will see quite a few Fire fans making the trip to Portland in Week 2 instead of traveling to LA to watch the Fire face Chivas in the season opener.
Week 6 & 22 – Montreal away – Saturday, April 12 and Sunday, August 16
The Fire were the Montreal Impact's opponents in the Canadian club's first home MLS back in 2012 and I was lucky enough to be at the game and had a great time.
That game was played indoors at the Olympic Stadium with a less than favorable playing surface – something many of the Fire fans observed firsthand the day before the game when we were invited to watch the team train (see photo above).
Now the Impact have Saputo Stadium refurbished, which provides another incentive for traveling Fire fans who may not have gotten there earlier this year.
Montreal is also a unique MLS city for a number of reasons. I can't think of another MLS city where fans can brush up on their French by talking to the locals or take in the spectacular Notre-Dame basilica while eating some amazing poutine!
Montreal can be quite cold in April, but luckily for Fire fans, the April date is only the first time the Men in Red visit The City of Saints. I hear the weather is a lot nicer in mid-August, when the Fire visit for the second time.
Week 11 – Columbus away – Saturday, May 24
Columbus or Fire House East as many Fire fans call it is the closest away trip of the season distance wise. Due to this fact, the number of Fire fans attending this match is exponentially bigger than most other away games.
In 2001, Fire fans went to Crew Stadium in their hundreds, even when the Fire was not playing! The Fire had been knocked out in the Conference Semifinals by the Los Angeles Galaxy and many fans turned up to cheer against LA (and for the then Frank Yallop-led San Jose Earthquakes) at MLS Cup.
There have been many highs experienced in Columbus, such as Paulo Wanchope's winning goal in a 2007 match after the game was delayed due to a torrential downpour. Fire fans were also 45 minutes away from MLS Cup in 2008 but for a Crew comeback in the second half which left Fire fans, including myself, devastated. There's also the 2012 invasion which saw 600 Fire supporters make the trek.
The Fire only play once at Fire House East this season and I expect to see a lot of red behind the goal on May 24.
Week 16 & 32 Kansas City away –Sunday, July 6 & Friday, October 10
Kansas City is another road trip that fans have attended in large numbers throughout the years. My first trip to Kansas City was a disappointing one, with the Fire losing to the Kansas City Wizards in the final of the U.S. Open Cup in 2004.
Since then, the Kansas franchise has a new name and a soccer specific stadium. You can no longer play the count the crowd game that we often did when the Wizards played at Arrowhead Stadium.
- DOWNLOAD: 2014 Home Regular Season Schedule (PDF)
Most fans travel to this game by bus thus skipping the "delights" of downtown Kansas City and the bus ride does offer one cool treat – a visit to the world's largest truck stop in Iowa.
Though SKC are not really a Fire rival (despite efforts made by the KC front office to make it into something bigger) there is certainly a dislike between the players and fans on both sides.
With the October 11 game coming so late in the season, it may be a pivotal one in terms of Playoff positioning.
Week 23 – Toronto away – Saturday, August 23
By far my favorite MLS city to travel to is Toronto. It's roughly the same distance from Chicago as Kansas City and again many fans travel to Canada on supporter's buses.
Each visit, Fire fans shack up at a great hostel where we run into soccer fans from all over the world. Toronto itself is a great city aside from the prohibitive drinking laws on weekends (who doesn't want to have a pint at 10am while watching the Premier League the next morning?).
BMO Field is located right on the shores of Lake Ontario and is thus left exposed and is often windy and chilly but the warm pies served at some of the concessions stands are an excellent halftime treat.
On the field, the Fire have had some good success against a TFC team that has languished near the bottom of the MLS table since starting in 2007. Thankfully, this match is on a Saturday in August so I expect a much larger contingent of Fire fans to attend.

It comes as little surprise, just a day after being named one of three finalists for the MLS Most Valuable Player award, gathered another important accolade Thursday as he was vote Section 8 Chicago's Supporters Player of the Year.
The award comes on the heels of Magee already taking the Club's Most Valuable Player and Golden Boot award just prior to the end of the 2013 regular season.
Mike will be on hand Saturday at A.J. Hudson's Public House (3801 N. Ashland) to receive his award and check for $1,500 to donate to the charity of his choice. The event begins at 6pm CT with the ceremony taking place at halftime of the MLS Eastern Conference Final Leg 2 between Sporting KC and Houston Dynamo.
See you there!
We're not far off from finding out the finalists for the 2013 MLS Most Valuable Player award and the case has more than been made for Mike Magee to take that honor.
Still, MLSsoccer.com's John Bolster recommends the Fire forward for another "not yet awarded" award, that being the league's Most Improved Player.
In this business when you swear you won't use your laptop for a day, often times you miss something. Such was the case for yours truly Friday as I took a much-needed day off following 10 months of non-stop career work...
So the story goes, I missed what seems to be a pretty clear, if not indirect endorsement of Mike Magee for MVP from a former teammate and probably the greatest American soccer player of all-time, Landon Donovan.
It came in an article from Scott French on MLSsoccer.com where the veteran So-Cal writer spoke with Robbie Rogers about the trade that saw his rights traded to LA in exchange for Magee to come to Chicago.
While the article centered mainly on Rogers adjustment to LA, Donovan, who is teammates with another potential MLS MVP candidate in Robbie Keane, had this to say of his Magee's exploits this season in Chicago:
"Would we like Mike Magee here? Yes," he said. "I think any team wants the MVP of the league on their team, so, yeah, we would like Mike here. But the reality is Mike's not here, and we're all happy for Mike, and there's no guarantee those things [Magee achieved in Chicago] would have happened had Mike stayed here."
If you know Magee, he'd traded the chance to still be playing for any individual accolade but it does seem we should add Landon to the list of MLSsoccer.com editors, Washington Post reporter Steven Goff and Soccer America's Ridge Mahoney on #MikeMageeMVP endorsements.
On the match:
Yeah I mean I just think that we had some chances in the first half and I think if we could have got the second goal I think that could have changed things a little bit and then I think when we started the second half we had some bad turnovers in bad spots. I feel we had the ball and we turned it over and when they get the ball in good spots they have quality players that are going to hurt you. In the first half we had our chances to score another goal and the second half was just the key I think, in possession when we had it I think we just turned it over in bad spots and then once they went two, three up, we knew the score, we knew the results of the other game and we had to push the game. From then on, for me, it really didn't matter; we just kept on pushing to try to come back [and at least tie the match to get into the playoffs].
On the season:
Right now it's a lot of emotions. I'm proud of the guys just the way the second half of the season [went] and we were probably the best team in the league in the second half of the season. Through adversity you learn and you become better but I think the group fought all the way to the end, it's just unfortunate that early on [in the season] if you get one more win it's a different thing. I take my hat off to the guys because they competed. I know it's disappointing right now for sure, but you have to learn from every situation and move on.
On Mike Magee:
For me he's the MVP. Another very good performance, scored another very good goal tonight and look at the impact he's had on our team. He's a fantastic player and we're happy to have him starting next year from the beginning [of the season].
On the match:
I wish I knew [what went wrong in the match]. First and foremost I think New York was great. I think anytime you got Tim Cahill and [Thierry] Henry on your team and those guys are in the form that they were in tonight they're going to be hard to beat. I definitely think we might have lain down a little bit.
On reflecting on his season:
This is going to hurt for a while. It's cool to score goals and all but you play the game to lift the trophy and to kind of come that close after so much work just to get ourselves back in a spot to have a chance at making the playoffs – to be honest, it's heartbreaking.
On Thierry Henry:
He's the best. He's probably the best player in the league and one of the classiest guys I've met. I got a chance to hang with him a little bit in Kansas City this year and I have nothing but respect for him. I just told him I wish him luck and that's all.

I recently got one of those thump-my-forehead "duh" moments. The article said my new camera is stupid. All cameras are stupid. They only know one color - 18% gray - regardless of what they cost. It seems that whenever we change our shooting location and the light is different, we need to set the white balance, because the automatic settings in even the most expensive cameras isn't always great. Better cameras have a custom setting that you can change yourself. I just did a series of 5 test shots without anything having been changed in the camera. 5 different rooms, 5 different lighting conditions. Then I did the shots again, holding a piece of white matte photo paper in front of the lens before each shot. The pictures of the white paper show a dramatic difference themselves! Under very bright natural sunlight, the picture of my white paper turned a dark brown. Under fluorescent light, it was dark gray. In 4 of the 5 befores and afters, there wasn't much difference, telling me my camera's automatic setting was doing a good job. In one, however, the difference was quite dramatic! The before shot was very dark, and the after was beautifully bright.
I learned that all TV and movie videographers as well as still camera pros all set their white balance dozens of times as they move to different locations. Special cards are often used - called Gray Cards - for doing this, but many of them just use a simple piece of white paper. I had a difficult time trying to find out where I could buy a gray card. Kodak makes them, but I couldn't find where to buy one. I did find a listing for "Warm Cards" - a whole set for either video, for $65, or digital cameras for $45, and was considering buying them until I tried my little experiment with plain white photo paper! It has to be matte - never glossy, though, I understand.
I had a discussion with a former TV reporter last night about this issue, and she said that her camerman constantly did a white balance before shooting, even if they changed outdoors locations by even a few feet.
I'd love to know if any of you use this technique and what your results are. If you haven't tried it, experiment, and see what happens!
P. S. - My favorite camera is a Canon SD 550. I love it - it's my second Canon. I also have a Nikon Coolpix P1, but will never use it outdoors again because it has no viewfinder - just the LCD screen. Nikons are very consistant with beautiful, bright color, so I expected no problems. Wrong. Here in Florida, extremely bright light is the usual rather than the exception! Camera manufacturers have returned to having both recently because customers complained so much that they can't see the LCD screen in bright sunlight.
Happing shooting!

The manager of the store is an asset to your company. He is the main reason why my experience exceeded expectations. He was always personable and welcoming - this was not my experience at another storage unit years ago. When access was blocked for an extended time due to sealing the pavement and weather issues, the manager explained it in such a way that eased the frustration.from Melbourne, FL

I have had storage units for decades in many states. Cocoa uncle Bob's is one of the TOP TWO BEST experiences I have had. And those two experiences are totally equal in quality, so this means you are the best!Gwenette from Cocoa, FL

A Dog in the Road
How best to help

I think the big thing is to remain calm. Frantically chasing an already scared dog just makes everything worse. If you're gonna try to help, keep your head.
Thanks for the great informative story, complete with a happy ending.
If we want to become a country that doesn't kill surplus pets, the easiest, first step is to get a phone number of each of our pets. Millions of pets go missing every year and many burden animal control, pounds and rescues. Imagine if each lost-but-owned pet had a phone number on its collar that would make a happy reunion happen within hours? Microchips are great, but don't help the average person finding that lost pet.
Nowadays, with cell phones, even owners at work or on vacation can be notified and can therefore help with the lost pet.
Individuals and organizations can advocate for this. Inexpensive tags and elastic/breakaway collars can be made for pennies and shared with the public.
This, along with spay/neuter/adopt could essentially solve the pet overpopulation crisis within a year. Remember, none of the pets who will be killed in our pounds came from a distant planet on a spaceship. Each came from a pair of non-fixed pets. Unlike Autism and Alzheimer's, we know the cause and we have the cure for this national problem.
For Valentine's Day, and everyday, show your love. Tag your pets. And fix 'em too.
My sister-in-law was able to catch a dog that was loose on a busy road by calling to it in a happy voice. She always carries a leash and treats and it wasn't too hard to entice the dog. Luckily, the dog's owner wasn't far ... and she mistakenly at first thought my SIL was trying to steal him.
My SIL also found what appeared to be a lost dog, took him home and called the phone number on his tags. His owner was surprised as she hadn't thought he was missing ... and actually he wasn't. My SIL had picked him up about a block from his new home; they just hadn't bothered to update his tags which showed him to be far from the address shown. Good reminder to keep tags up to date!

Boy, you were well prepared! So glad this was a happy ending.
Over the years, I have tried to save stray dogs, but they don't seem to want my help! LOL In college, I picked up a stray Beagle, put him in my car and he promptly jumped out the window and ran away. Another time, I made my husband stop the car to rescue a dog laying down near the highway. Turned out to be a sick coyote! Not good.
My absolute favorite is when I saw a wobbly senior German Shepherd mix on the corner and tried to coax him into my car. Then I realized that the owner was standing on the porch and waiting for him to pee. Oops!
On a sad note, once on our way to work, my husband and I found a black Pit/Lab mix with a collar and Flexi-lead attached. We brought her to the shelter. I went there the next day to check in on her. She was so sweet! Five days went by and she was not claimed. I named her Kaldi after my favorite coffee shop. Then a hurricane was coming and the shelter had to evacuate all of the animals. She was euthanized an hour before I could get there to take her. The vet who marked her off as "unadoptable" - simply because she was big and black - cried with me. That was six years ago and I still have Kaldi's photos. :(

When my sister saw a Chihuahua in the middle of a street, with cars whizzing by, she went into the street, picked up the dog, and walked back to the side of the road, dripping blood profusely. The dog was so frightened he bit her on the hand. We called a shelter to pick up the dog, then spent the next few hours in the emergency room in Bakersfield. We still had a two hour drive home afterward.

I am a big dog lover (I have 12) and it breaks my heart to see a lost and neglected dog and being unable to rescue it. Two weeks ago, I was on my way to church when I saw this poor dog walking down the middle of the road, dragging a chain behind her. She was in very poor shape. She was covered in Mange and looked like she could use a meal. I tried to catch her but she would not come near me. I put my foot on the chain but it broke off from her collar and she took off. I even used food to make her to come to me (I always carry dog treats and bread for the birds in my car)but it didn't work. All I could do was stand there and watch her run away from me. I cursed those responsible and apologized to God for my failure and asked St. francis to look after her. I still look for her when I drive through that road. I have rescued several strays. One of my successes is Dottie. I found her also walking down the highway. Covered in Mange and with her ribs and hip bones sticking out. She came straight to me. I have had Dottie with me going on 5yrs and she is adorable and happy. I did not feel bad about taking her 'cause I figured that whoever owned her, did not deserve to have her.

Wow you have 12 dogs???? I have only two, one is a rescue (fostering Charlie). It sickens me when I read about neglected dogs also. My boys both have St. Francis medals and they are blessed once a year during the blessing of the animals at our church. I cannot even imagine how a human being if you can call them that, can treat a dog like some do...Mange? I hope somebody there will be more good people that outweigh the scum that treat these poor animals like this. Thanks for a great article.

I was driving home one night when I noticed 2 dogs following my slow moving truck through the residential neighborhood. I could tell when I passed them that they recognized the sight of a truck and they were following me out of something familiar. When I got home I opened the truck door and sure enough these two lovebugs jumped right in ready to go for a ride. I went inside and grabbed two leashes so that I could take them inside to safety. Thanfully their tags too were up to date and I got ahold of the owner at work. 2 hours later they dogs were back home with thier loving family.
Many dogs you see on the road have gotten out by accident. You may be the only one who cares enough to help them find thier way home. Dont pass them by assuming someone else will stop to help them. Be that someone else and make sure they are ok, otherwise that someone else may never come.

Over the years, I have found and reunited quite a few lost dogs with their owners (no heroic stories to share, just your "run of the mill" rescues ). I always did wonder what kind of people let their pets to get lost, for "this would never happen to me". Well, sure enough - it did.
One Saturday morning last summer I left my black Standard Poodle at the groomer's. Somehow she got out and took off - freshly bathed and hair half cut, without her collar and tags. The grooming shop we used to go to is in a busy neighborhood of Los Angeles, with wide roads and non-stop traffic, several miles from our house, and there was no hope that she would be able to find her way home. Needless to say, I was worried sick about my fur-baby being lost on the streets of a huge city, and my only hope was that some Good Samaritan would get her before she gets hit by a car and before it gets dark.
Thanks to Facebook, we were able to rally a small army of friends within couple of hours. We posted hundreds of fliers and searched every park and alley in the area well into the night. We also made a post on Craigslist.
Shortly before midnight we received a phone call from someone who said that he had seen our post on Craigslist while preparing a FOUND post, and that earlier that day he had picked up a black collarless dog that jumped in front of his car (he had been able to stop in time). He had carried the dog to a local Vet.
Once the G.A. and we had established over a series of questions that neither party is a crook, he gave us the Vet's info and we rushed over. The place was closed – but on the window there was a DOG FOUND sign with our dog's photo and phone # to call. We got our baby – shaken but alive - back the next morning.
I am forever grateful to this Guardian Angel who went WAY out of his way to save a life and help our very much loved family member come home. And to the Vet Tech who brought our dog home with him, bandaged her raw paws and took care of her overnight. I am still absolutely humbled by the swift reaction of our friends and neighbors – they all dropped their Saturday plans to come and help us look for our dog. And we must have received at least 10 calls from perfect strangers who had seen our fliers and offered their help and advice. (I had no idea there are so many caring and altruistic people out there…)
After that scary - albeit miraculous and positive in so many ways – experience I made myself the following promises: 1) to never again judge people whose pets have gotten lost. It really can happen to anyone.
A sincere Thank You to each and all of you who help a lost pet.

I've picked up a few dogs in my life, the most recent on New Year's Eve - a little poodle standing in the icy slush at 10:30 at night. She's here at my house since she didn't have any ID. Before you get all sorry for the previous owners, know that I live in puppy mill country, she's not housetrained, she's afraid to go through doorways and she eats her own poop unless I get to it first (not uncommon, but typical for puppy mill dogs). We did post notices, but no one called. One method not mentioned in the original post is to get down on your knees and open your arms wide while calling the dog. And make sure not to chase it, get ahead of it, then try to lure it in! Good luck!!

This doesn't always work. I know from experience. I am a huge dog lover and when ever I see a dog in the street, near the roads, and in the road, I quickly pull over.
Submitted by Karen London | April 23 2010 | Permalink
My heart goes out to you at having witnessed this terrible event. I commend you for trying this time and on other occasions to help dogs who are in danger. It was NOT your fault that this happened. This dog was in the road and clearly spooked easily, and you were trying hard to keep him safe. It's true that these techniques don't always work, but giving it a try often gives dogs a better chance than leaving them on their own. I've encouraged many dogs to get out of the road and it sounds like you have, too. This one incident was really unlucky, and I hope you don't continue to carry guilt for trying to help. Truly, I feel for you and wish you peace.
