While it's been oddly cool in Los Angeles lately-June gloom, yuck-we're still obsessed with the fact that summer is here (okay, technically not until the 21st, but whatever). It may be a transitional season in the fashion world, but it's interesting as it gives you a chance to play with old and upcoming elements of style. So now we present a few quick tips, courtesy of a few celebs, for updating your look right now.
1. Swap with friends
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen may have billions, but they still share clothes like this vintage Alaia belt. MK was spotted wearing this belt to the Met Gala, loaned it to her sister (picture on right), and then took it back a few days later (picture on left). If you haven't got a like-minded twin, gather some pals with similar taste and share your accessories to refresh your wardrobes.
2. Raise your waist
Update your look this summer with some high-waist denim, as seen here on Nicole Richie and Jessica Alba. Nicole's shorts are by the Australian cult label sass & bide. She's wearing their Hulsey Parks High Waisted Short , featuring a nine-inch rise and patch pockets ($209, shopbop.com
). If you're blessed with a longer torso like Jessica, try a really high pair like 7 for All Mankind's Georgia Pant in Peking ($198, 7forallmankind.com). If you've got a shorter waist, you can get the illusion of this silhouette by tucking in your shirt into a regular pair of jeans.
3. Belt it
If you've got scores of floaty tunics and tent dresses in your closet, give them new life by giving them new shape. Gemma Ward belted her voluminous top with a medium-sized belt to repurpose an older trend.
4. Make a statement
Swap out your layers of delicate jewelry for a big, bold, intense item, like these sizeable Lanvin earrings Jessica Simpson wore to a party in Cannes. When shopping for these statement baubles, look for anything made out of lucite or resin with metal details. Forever 21 has a three-inch-long pair of teardrop earrings on sale ($4.80, forever21.com) and Topshop's Organic Shape Earrings cannot go unnoticed (about $12, topshop.com).
5. Invest in light outerwear
Until summer really heats up (and even then), everyone needs a few lightweight sweaters and jackets, just in case. Amber Valletta looks smart in her trench, but we think that Ben Sherman's Farah Trench is genius ($119, urbanoutfitters.com.com). If you can't see yourself in trench, hit up the Gap for their linen/cotton blend, Long Line Cardigan ($29.99, gap.com

Volusia County deputies arrested two men after they say the duo was caught trying to steal a 200-pound wrecking ball from a DeLand business.
Deputies said Ryan Moore, 28, and Scott Sasek, 27, went to the West Crane Services on Newport Avenue on Monday night and took a large metal hook and the wrecking ball.
[LISTEN: 911 call released after man holds suspects at gunpoint]
The owner, who told deputies his business was burglarized earlier in the week, staked out his business overnight to see if the burglars would hit again, according to a VCSO release.
"I don't know how the hell they picked it up, it weighs over 200 pounds," the caller told dispatchers in the 911 call. "But yeah, they are definitely stealing and it's in the car."
The owner confronted the men, armed with a shotgun, and detained them until deputies arrived.
Moore and Sasek were both charged with burglary and grand theft. Each man also faces a violation of probation charge. They were booked into the Volusia County Branch Jail in Daytona Beach.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- Creston High School will no longer exist, but the Creston building on Plainfield Avenue NE will still have hundreds of students inside taking classes, according to the revised plan from Grand Rapids Public Schools.
Superintendent Teresa Weatherall Neal presented her revamped "transformation plan" for the district to the school board Monday night.
Neal has previously proposed closing Creston High School and selling the northeast side property. Then she and other district leaders heard from many people in the Creston neighborhood and alumni of the school, who asked that the school be saved.
"I am recommending that Creston High School close as a high school and that City High-Middle School move to the Creston location," Superintendent Neal explained to the school board. "I did listen to parents, students and to you all to add to this plan."
Neal is now proposing that Creston's remaining students be moved to the Central High School campus, where they would graduate together. No new students would be included in the Creston group. City High-Middle School would be moved from Fuller Avenue to Creston, where the district would expand its advanced learning programs.
Other changes in the new plan include:
Closing ten buildings, eliminating some programs, and consolidating or expanding others will save the district about $5 million per year. It may also stop the exodus of students out of the district and attract students from outlying areas.
"The main thing is we know you have to do something to be efficient and some steps have to be taken," Grand Rapids resident Jimmie Carter pointed out during the public comment period of the meeting. "Why put it off?"
"I must do what is in the best interest of this entire district and that is what I present to you for support," Neal told the board.
The superintendent's transformation plan is the result of many months of study and debate.
The school board will hold one more public hearing on the matter before voting next month.

New England Revolution
Select shots from Saturday's 3-2 come-back win over New England...
CREDIT: Brian Kersey Chicago Fire
After missing yet another opportunity to jump into the Playoff spots after a disappointing draw in Toronto midweek, the Fire head back to Toyota Park on Saturday to face the team they are trying to catch, the New England Revolution (LIVE 7pm CT on My50). The Revs occupy the fifth and final Playoff spot and will be looking to put some distance between themselves and the chasing pack. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective:
Tracking Kelyn Rowe and Diego Fagundez – monitoring the Revs playmakers movement
Both Rowe and Fagundez are having fantastic seasons for New England despite their young age. For an 18 year old, Fagundez has a real eye for goal and a knack of getting into very good positions in the box. Many of his goals this season have been tap-ins, with the Uruguayan being in the right spot at the right time.
Rowe on the other hand likes to operate outside the box and is excellent at picking up the ball in the space between the midfield and the back line. In New England's last two matches against Toronto and Montreal, Rowe was allowed too much space to pick up the ball in these positions. From there, he is equally comfortable shooting from distance or running at defenders. He displayed both in the matches against the Impact and TFC.
To stop Rowe, the communication and decision making by the Fire's midfielders and defenders is very important. Defenders such as Bakary Soumare and Austin Berry must come out and close down Rowe as quickly as possible when he picks up the ball in that position. As for Fagundez, tracking his runs into the box will also be crucial.
Concentrating on team defense – cutting out individual errors and defending better as a team
In the Fire's last few matches, individual errors and lack of concentration have been the team's downfall. On Wednesday night, a piece of nonchalant defending led to TFC's tying goal while multiple players were guilty of not tracking their runners in the matches against Seattle and Houston.
Individual errors have plagued Fire defenders this season while the wingers are the culprits responsible for sometimes failing to follow their marks. As a defensive unit, the players must be focused for the entire 90 minutes, especially now because there is little room for error if the Men in Red are to make the Playoffs. Against a team with such fluid attacking play and movement as New England, lapses in concentration like these will be punished.
Getting in 1v1 situations with A.J. Soares – Fire attack must try and isolate the Revs defender
In New England's last match against Montreal, something that struck me was the ease in which Impact striker Marco Di Vaio was able to score both of his goals. Both goals were very similar, with the Italian receiving the ball in the box and going 1v1 with Soares before making a cut, losing the Revs defender and finishing with ease.
Don't get me wrong, Di Vaio is a brilliant striker but his ability to beat players 1v1 is not his strong point, his deadly finishing is. As we have seen this season, Chris Rolfe and Mike Magee are not afraid to run at defenders and Quincy Amarikwa showed on Wednesday in Toronto that his pace coming off the bench can cause any defense problems.
Against New England this weekend, I would like to see the Fire strikers take on Soares if they find themselves in a position to.
Prediction: The Fire take the frustrations of the past few weeks out on the Revs and comfortably win 3-1 with goals from Magee (2) and Patrick Nyarko.
Saturday night didn't feel good. A strong Fire performance in always difficult atmosphere at Century Link Field certainly left me feeling like the team had done enough to take something away from Seattle. In the end, that wasn't to be.
With the 2-1 loss, Fire hearts looked at three very big matches Sunday involving Houston, New England and Philadelphia, maybe lit a candle, said a prayer or crossed fingers. That sound you heard round about midnight was a huge sigh of relief as all three teams immediately ahead of the Men in Red in the Eastern Conference playoff race also went down in defeat.
Hence this blog title, as the positioning between the Top 7 in the East remains the same as it was when I wrote the first edition of 2013 Playoff Math two weeks ago, albeit with a bit of a separation between top and bottom.
A breakdown of where things stand heading into this week…
1) Montreal Impact
Current Points: 45 (13-7-6)
Games Remaining: 8 (4 home/ 4 away)
Last 5 Games: WDWWL (10pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-1-3 / 4-6-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 69
Average Opponents Pts: 35.3
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 vs. CLB, 9/17 at SJ**, 9/21 vs. VAN, 9/24 vs. HER** 9/28 @ CHI, 10/4 @ HOU, 10/12 vs. NE, 10/16 @ LA, 10/19 vs. PHI, 10/26 @ TFC
Rundown: Chronologically, Montreal's 4-1 win at New England was the second of three needed Fire results Sunday and though the Impact had only won once away to an Eastern opponent this season, showed up in droves early on as Matt Reis' fifth minute red card for taking down Marco Di Vaio set the tone for the evening in Montreal's 4-2 win.
With the win, the Impact stayed on top of the Eastern Conference (with two games in hand) and may have helped the Fire more than just in the standings as Reis will now be suspended for the Revolution's visit to Chicago this Saturday.
Given Montreal's home form, a visit from the Crew Saturday should probably see them atop the East by the time I'm writing this column next week. With games in hand on both New York and Sporting KC, the Impact hold the inside track to the top spot in the East if they can hold serve down the stretch.
2) New York Red Bulls
Current Points: 45 (13-9-6)
Games Remaining: 6 (3 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: WWLDL (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 8-2-3 / 5-7-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 36.1
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 vs. TFC, 9/22 vs. FCD, 9/29 @ SEA, 10/5 vs. NE, 10/20 @ HOU, 10/27 vs. CHI
Rundown: The fact that Red Bull had never won in Houston during the MLS regular season didn't exactly bode well form them on Sunday but a smaller than normal crowd at BBVA Compass Stadium saw a few mistakes at the back which New York did well to capitalize on in their 4-1 win.
Red Bull have just six games left to play with the next two at home vs. Toronto FC and FC Dallas. Wins in those and we're either talking about them officially clinching a playoff spot or being having the opportunity to do it in Seattle on October 5.
3) Sporting KC
Current Points: 45 (13-9-6)
Games Remaining: 6 (2 home / 4 away)
Last 5: WWLLW (9pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 8-4-3 / 5-5-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 30.5
Remaining Schedule: 9/17 vs. RES**, 9/21 @ TFC, 9/27 vs. PHI, 10/5 @ CLB, 10/9 at HOU, 10/18 vs. D.C., 10/23 vs. OLI**, 10/26 @ PHI
Rundown: Sporting KC go into their bye week coming off a strong 3-0 home win over Columbus Saturday night. Like Montreal, they've set themselves up well now to balance their remaining Champions League fixtures (they next play Real Esteli on September 17) and could lock down a playoff spot by the end of September.
4) Philadelphia Union
Current Points: 39 (10-9-9)
Games Remaining: 6 (3 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: LDLDW (5pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 6-3-5 / 4-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 57
Average Opponents Pts: 34.7
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 vs. HOU, 9/27 @ SKC, 10/5 vs. TFC, 10/12 @ D.C., 10/19 @ MTL, 10/26 vs. SKC
Rundown: Despite having a man advantage for the final 33 minutes, Philadelphia was unable to muster a point in a 1-0 defeat at San Jose in the Fire's last needed result of the night.
Philadelphia still sits fourth but only by two points ahead of Saturday's game vs. Houston, one of two very big matches with playoff implications this week.
5) New England Revolution
Current Points: 37 (10-10-7)
Games Remaining: 7 (3 home / 4 away)
Last 5 Games: LDWWL (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 6-5-3 / 4-5-4
Maximum Possible Points: 58
Average Opponents Pts: 33.4
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 @ CHI, 9/21 vs. D.C., 9/28 vs. HOU, 10/5 @ NY, 10/12 @ MTL, 10/19 vs. CLB, 10/27 @ CLB
Rundown: Like I said above, New England's 4-2 loss to Montreal helped contribute to everything staying the same towards the bottom of the race. They'll be without starting goalkeeper Matt Reis in Saturday's pivotal visit to Toyota Park but will still likely come in confident knowing they've won the previous two encounters between the sides this year.
6) Houston Dynamo
Current Points: 37 (10-9-7)
Games Remaining: 8 (4 home / 4 away)
Last 5 Games: LDLWL (4pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-3-3 / 3-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 58
Average Opponents Pts: 35.7
Remaining Schedule:9/14 @ PHI, 9/21, 9/25 vs. WC**, vs. CHV, 9/28 @ NE, 10/4 vs. MTL, 10/9 vs. SKC, 10/20 vs. NY, 10/24 @ AU**, 10/27 @ D.C.
Rundown: It wasn't a good week for Houston who dropped a 2-0 to Columbus at midweek before Sunday's 4-1 thumping vs. New York. Given Houston's recent form (4 points from their last five games), Fire fans will lament the two points dropped to the Dynamo at the beginning of the month but should also be thankful for the fact the Dynamo have continued to struggle following that result.
A loss at Philadelphia next Saturday combined with a win from the Fire or New England may be panic button time for the Dynamo.
7) Chicago Fire
Current Points: 35 (10-11-5)
Games Remaining: 8 (3 home / 5 away)
Last 5 Games: LDWLW (7pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 8-4-2 / 2-6-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 59
Average Opponents Pts: 32.1
Remaining Schedule: 9/11 @ TFC, 9/14 vs. NE, 9/21 @ CLB, 9/28 vs. MTL, 10/4 @ D.C., 10/12 @ FCD, 10/19 vs. TFC, 10/27 @ NY
Rundown: Dropping three points late in the last two matches doesn't fill one with confidence but the team's performance at Seattle was very encouraging and they were perhaps rewarded by Sunday's trifecta of results. In reality, the weekend was a complete wash in terms of Playoff Math, so the Fire enter a two-game week with a huge opportunity.
The team faces a quick turnaround Wednesday, playing their game in hand on New England and Houston when they visit lowly Toronto FC (who fell 4-0 at Portland Saturday). A win in Ontario followed by one in Saturday's six-pointer vs. the Revs (and a draw between the Union in Dynamo in Philadelphia) would actually put the Fire into fourth place in the East with six games remaining.
TICKETS: Fire vs. Revolution six-pointer Saturday at Toyota Park
It's fair to admit no one saw the Fire being in this position following Saturday's game but as they say, that's why they play the games and there's all to play for still.
8) Columbus Crew
Current Points: 32 (9-14-5)
Games Remaining: 8 (3 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: LWLLW (6pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 6-5-3 / 3-9-2
Maximum Possible Points: 50
Average Opponents Pts: 38.6
Remaining Schedule: 9/14 @ MTL, 9/21 vs. CHI, 9/29 @ FCD, 10/5 vs. SKC, 10/19 @ NE, 10/27 vs. NE
Rundown: In Brian Bliss' first game as interim head coach, Columbus took a huge step defeating Houston 2-0 last Wednesday only to fall 3-0 at KC Saturday night.
By virtue of their point total and remaining schedule, the Crew are certainly still in the playoff race but are at a point where any further slip-ups will probably mean the end to their season.
After an interesting weekend of results, no teams actually changed spots in the Eastern Conference standings, though the group at the top all sit tied on points. Down below, Philadelphia and New England each held serve in spots four and five with weekend draws while the Fire missed a chance to leapfrog Houston with their home tie on Sunday.
The breakdown:
1) Montreal Impact
Current Points: 42 (12-7-6)
Games Remaining: 9 (4 home/ 5 away)
Last 5 Games: DWWLL (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-1-3 / 3-6-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 69
Average Opponents Pts: 35.1
Remaining Schedule: 9/8 @ NE, 9/14 vs. CLB, 9/17 at SJ**, 9/21 vs. VAN, 9/24 vs. HER** 9/28 @ CHI, 10/4 @ HOU, 10/12 vs. NE, 10/16 @ LA, 10/19 vs. PHI, 10/26 @ TFC
Rundown: Despite their top spot in the conference, Montreal has had an abysmal road record vs. the East (1-6-2) so while they could have taken a big step over the weekend, perhaps a 0-0 draw at Philadelphia was them punching above their weight. September will be make or break time for the Impact as the team will play six competitive matches in a span of 20 days. If they hope to advance out of their Champions League group, they'll likely need to win one of their two remaining games. meaning squad rotation will be prudent through the end of the month.
The Impact will hope to improve their Eastern Conference road record with another away trip to New England on Sunday.
2) New York Red Bulls
Current Points: 42 (12-9-6)
Games Remaining: 7 (4 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: WLDLW (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 8-2-3 / 4-7-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 35
Remaining Schedule: 9/8 @ HOU, 9/14 vs. TFC, 9/22 vs. FCD, 9/29 @ SEA, 10/5 vs. NE, 10/20 @ HOU, 10/27 vs. CHI
Rundown: Red Bull did exactly what they had to do, downing MLS bottom dwellers D.C. United 2-1 at home Saturday night. With four of their remaining seven matches at home and no Champions League to worry about, if they win their games at Red Bull Arena, they should have no issue making their way to a postseason appearance. What they do with their away games should determine their positioning.
New York faces a six-pointer away to Houston on Sunday. Win and potentially distance yourself from the pack, lose and things will begin to get interesting.
3) Sporting KC
Current Points: 39 (12-9-6)
Games Remaining: 7 (3 home / 4 away)
Last 5: WLLWL (6pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-4-3 / 5-5-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 29.9
Remaining Schedule: 9/7 vs. CLB, 9/17 vs. RES**, 9/21 @ TFC, 9/27 vs. PHI, 10/5 @ CLB, 10/9 at HOU, 10/18 vs. D.C., 10/23 vs. OLI**, 10/26 @ PHI
Rundown: Like New York, Sporting KC did the business with a 2-1 win over Colorado Saturday. Already with six points in their two Champions League matches, Sporting likely needs just two points from their remaining matches to win the group and have a lighter league schedule than fell CCLers Montreal and Houston. Two matches with Columbus and one each vs. Toronto and D.C. should see Sporting easily clinch and could help push them towards the top spot by the end of October.
This weekend, Sporting face a Columbus side that lost at home to 10-man Seattle on Saturday, fired their coach Monday and will face Houston at home Wednesday. If the Crew lose to the Dynamo, they'll be all but eliminated from playoff contention, making KC's home encounter even easier.
4) Philadelphia Union
Current Points: 39 (10-8-9)
Games Remaining: 7 (3 home / 4 away)
Last 5 Games: DLDWL (4pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 6-3-5 / 4-5-4
Maximum Possible Points: 60
Average Opponents Pts: 33.3
Remaining Schedule: 9/8 @ SJ, 9/14 vs. HOU, 9/27 @ SKC, 10/5 vs. TFC, 10/12 @ D.C., 10/19 @ MTL, 10/26 vs. SKC
Rundown: Three points at home Saturday would have seen Philly move to within one of first in the East but a draw against Montreal keeps them all on their lonesome in fourth place. With seven games remaining, the Union have a mixed type of schedule, facing Toronto FC and D.C. in back-to-back weeks in October but also with a games against Houston and Montreal and two matches against Sporting.
A west coast trip to San Jose, where the Earthquakes have dropped just one game this season (8-1-4) looms large this week, with a loss likely pushing the Union back down to the East bubble.
5) New England Revolution
Current Points: 37 (10-9-7)
Games Remaining: 8 (4 home / 4 away)
Last 5 Games: DWWLL (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 6-4-3 / 4-5-4
Maximum Possible Points: 61
Average Opponents Pts: 33.75
Remaining Schedule: 9/8 vs. MTL, 9/14 @ CHI, 9/21 vs. D.C., 9/28 vs. HOU, 10/5 @ NY, 10/12 @ MTL, 10/19 vs. CLB, 10/27 @ CLB
Rundown: Perhaps no team controls their own destiny like the Revolution. With eight games left, the Revs has an even split of four home and four away but perhaps more interesting is that five of their next six matches are against Eastern Conference foes that sit in the Top 7 positions. Should they be able to navigate well through those matches, their home and home with Columbus to end the season could be all about positioning.
New England needs to take advantage of Montreal's poor road form Saturday to climb up the table.
6) Houston Dynamo
Current Points: 37 (10-8-7)
Games Remaining: 9 (5 home / 4 away)
Last 5 Games: DLWLW (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-2-3 / 3-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 64
Average Opponents Pts: 34.3
Remaining Schedule: 9/4 @ CLB, 9/8 vs. NY, 9/14 @ PHI, 9/21, 9/25 vs. WC**, vs. CHV, 9/28 @ NE, 10/4 vs. MTL, 10/9 vs. SKC, 10/20 vs. NY, 10/24 @ AU**, 10/27 @ D.C.
Rundown: Much like New England, Houston faces a number of teams they're battling for playoff positioning with over the next month and like Montreal and Sporting KC, also need to balance Champions League play. The Dynamo will be favorites to take three points on the road at Columbus Wednesday but will close out a seven game/22-day stretch at home Saturday to New York. Houston holds fate in their own hands but balancing Champions League with games against conference foes will be the key to their postseason push.
Simple enough: Win at home, draw on the road, they should be in.
7) Chicago Fire
Current Points: 35 (10-10-5)
Games Remaining: 9 (3 home / 6 away)
Last 5 Games: DWLWW (10pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 8-4-2 / 2-6-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 62
Average Opponents Pts: 31.7
Remaining Schedule: 9/7 @ SEA, 9/11 @ TFC, 9/14 vs. NE, 9/21 @ CLB, 9/28 vs. MTL, 10/4 @ D.C., 10/12 @ FCD, 10/19 vs. TFC, 10/27 @ NY
Rundown: Sunday's late 1-1 draw at home to Houston was no doubt a gut punch but the Fire are far from out of the playoff race.
The Good News: The team continues to have one of the easiest remaining schedules in the East with two games against Toronto and one each against Columbus and D.C.
The Bad News: Only three of nine remaining matches are at home and the Fire's road record is towards the bottom in the conference.
And even though the Fire have never beaten Seattle and failed to win on turf since 2010, they have a real chance to take three points away to the Sounders with the home side missing Clint Dempsey, Eddie Johnson, Brad Evans, Leo Gonzalez on Saturday night.
Four to six points in the team's next two away matches (remember Toronto FC on September 11) will set them up well for a return home vs. New England on September 14. Twice this season the Fire have had the chance to leap into fifth place and failed, mid-September should be a target date for them to AT LEAST be there.
8) Columbus Crew
Current Points: 29 (8-13-5)
Games Remaining: 8 (4 home / 4 away)
Last 5 Games: LLWWL (6pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 5-5-3 / 3-8-2
Maximum Possible Points: 53
Average Opponents Pts: 38.6
Remaining Schedule: 9/4 vs. HOU, 9/7 @ SKC, 9/14 @ MTL, 9/21 vs. CHI, 9/29 @ FCD, 10/5 vs. SKC, 10/19 @ NE, 10/27 vs. NE
Rundown: If Sunday's draw to Houston was a gut punch for the Fire, I'm not sure what to call the Crew's 1-0 home defeat to 10-man Seattle on Saturday.
Still, Columbus have a small shot at the playoffs and their coaching change Monday makes things a bit more interesting. Keep in mind that seven of their eight remaining matches come against teams in the Eastern Conference playoff picture but should they lose midweek to Houston, the weekend trip to Sporting KC could kill whatever hope they have left.
With the Eastern Conference playoff race so tight between seven teams, some called me crazy for starting Playoff Math so early this year. I shunned the criticism because I feel strongly that Eastern Conference nerds need their fix the remaining two months of the season.
In an attempt to keep this piece at readable length, I chose not to use a points per game basis as fellow stat nerd Tweed Thornton at Hot Time in Old Town uses. His analysis is equally interesting and I suggest you check it out.
So, with that, I breakdown the playoff outlook for the eight teams that still have a reasonable shot at an Eastern Conference playoff spot…
Montreal Impact
Current Points: 41 (12-7-5)
Games Remaining: 10 (4 home/ 6 away)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-1-3 / 3-6-2
Maximum Possible Pts: 71
Average Opponents Pts: 34.4
Remaining Schedule: 8/31 @ PHI, 9/8 @ NE, 9/14 vs. CLB, 9/21 vs. VAN, 9/28 @ CHI, 10/4 @ HOU, 10/12 vs. NE, 10/16 @ LA, 10/19 vs. PHI, 10/26 @ TFC
Rundown: Though they had a small dip in form, Montreal is back at the top of the Eastern Conference after Saturday's 5-0 shellacking of Houston. Much of Montreal's success can be chalked up to their dominant home record (they've lost just one game at Stade Saputo this season) but the team also has the toughest remaining schedule and has away matches against playoff contenders, Philadelphia, New England, the Fire and Houston before season's end. Add to that the fact that Montreal is also competing in CONCACAF Champions League play on September 17 at San Jose and September 24 at Heredia and the top spot is far from secure.
New York Red Bulls
Current Points: 39 (11-9-6)
Games Remaining: 8 (5 home / 3 away)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-2-3 / 4-7-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 31.3
Remaining Schedule: 8/31 vs. D.C., 9/8 @ HOU, 9/14 vs. TFC, 9/22 vs. FCD, 9/29 @ SEA, 10/5 vs. NE, 10/20 @ HOU, 10/27 vs. CHI
Rundown: Despite a 3-2 defeat to Chivas USA at the weekend, Red Bull still sits in pretty good shape, two points back of the lead. New York holds a strong home record and of their eight remaining matches, five will be played at Red Bull Arena. Also unlike fellow playoff contenders Montreal, Sporting KC and Houston, New York only needs to focus on MLS Regular Season play the rest of the way.
Sporting KC
Current Points: 39 (11-9-6)
Games Remaining: 8 (4 home / 4 away)
2013 Home/Away Record: 6-4-3 / 5-5-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 30.5
Remaining Schedule: 8/31 vs. COL, 9/7 vs. CLB, 9/21 @ TFC, 9/27 vs. PHI, 10/5 @ CLB, 10/9 at HOU, 10/18 vs. D.C., 10/26 @ PHI
Rundown: Sporting KC holds an identical record to New York and has to juggle two more Champions League games but has one of the easiest remaining schedules among the eight playoff contenders. Though their home record isn't as stellar as you'd think, with the strong atmosphere Sporting Park provides, its unlikely KC is the team currently inside the bubble that falls down the stretch.
Philadelphia Union
Current Points: 38 (10-8-8)
Games Remaining: 8 (4 home / 4 away)
2013 Home/Away Record: 6-3-4 / 4-5-4
Maximum Possible Points: 62
Average Opponents Pts: 33.1
Remaining Schedule: 8/31 vs. MTL, 9/8 @ SJ, 9/14 vs. HOU, 9/27 @ SKC, 10/5 vs. TFC, 10/12 @ D.C., 10/19 @ MTL, 10/26 vs. SKC
Rundown: With eight games left, the Union sit just three points out of first place thanks to the 4-5-4 record on the road (second best in the East) while holding serve at home (6-3-4). Things just got pretty interesting for Philly after New England's 5-1 weekend thrashing of the Union pulled the playoff race much tighter. From a Fire perspective, their grounded out, back-to-back wins over the Men in Red in May could easily be pointed to as the difference between being in and outside the playoff bubble. If the Fire take three points in either of the 1-0 losses, the two teams are swapped in the Eastern Conference table…
New England Revolution
Current Points: 36 (10-9-6)
Games Remaining: 9 (4 home / 5 away)
2013 Home/Away Record: 6-4-3 / 4-5-3
Maximum Possible Points: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 31.5
Remaining Schedule: 8/30 @ TFC, 9/8 vs. MTL, 9/14 @ CHI, 9/21 vs. D.C., 9/28 vs. HOU, 10/5 @ NY, 10/12 @ MTL, 10/19 vs. CLB, 10/27 @ CLB
Rundown: New England has been the surprise entrant into the race this season. The Revs have certainly found ways to punch way above their weight. Even after a six-game winless run in July and August, New England still find themselves inside the bubble with seven of their nine remaining games all against relevant Eastern Conference playoff contenders.
Houston Dynamo
Current Points: 36 (10-8-6)
Games Remaining: 10 (5 home / 5 away)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-2-3 / 3-6-3
Maximum Possible Points: 66
Average Opponents Pts: 33
Remaining Schedule: 9/1 @ CHI, 9/4 @ CLB, 9/8 vs. NY, 9/14 @ PHI, 9/21 vs. CHV, 9/28 @ NE, 10/4 vs. MTL, 10/9 vs. SKC, 10/20 vs. NY, 10/27 @ D.C.
Rundown: Though not quite as great as 2012, Houston has kept up pretty good form at BBVA Compass Stadium so far in 2013. The Dynamo sit sixth only by the Goals For tiebreaker and currently hold at least a game in hand on everyone in front of them except for Montreal. At the same time, a loss to the Fire on Sunday at Toyota Park would see the Men in Red leapfrog the Dynamo into sixth place with nine matches remaining.
Chicago Fire
Current Points: 34 (10-10-4)
Games Remaining: 10 (4 home / 6 away)
2013 Home / Away Record: 8-4-1 / 2-6-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 64
Average Opponents Pts: 31.1
Remaining Schedule: 9/1 vs. HOU, 9/7 @ SEA, 9/11 @ TFC, 9/14 vs. NE, 9/21 @ CLB, 9/28 vs. MTL, 10/4 @ D.C., 10/12 @ FCD, 10/19 vs. TFC, 10/27 @ NY
Rundown: After failing to win a game in the month of March, the Fire's 8-3-3 record since the arrivals of Bakary Soumare and Mike Magee in late May is nothing short of fantastic. Having said that, the team still finds itself two points outside of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Much of the team's success is due to holding the second best home record in the Eastern Conference (8-4-1) though the side's away record is also the second worst (2-6-3). Perhaps worse though is that after Sunday's game vs. Houston, the team will play just three more home matches in 2013 vs. six away games.
The key to any team making the playoffs is doing the business at home and the Fire should still aim for the maximum 12 points available there. However, in order to make the postseason again in 2013, the team needs to find ways to pick up more points on the road. Luckily they have one of the easiest remaining schedules in the Eastern Conference and visit both Toronto FC and D.C. in two of their remaining six away games.
Columbus Crew
Current Points: 29 (8-12-5)
Games Remaining: 9 (5 home / 4 away)
2013 Home / Away Record: 5-4-3 / 3-8-2
Maximum Possible Points: 56
Average Opponents Pts: 33.5
Remaining Schedule: 8/31 vs. SEA, 9/4 vs. HOU, 9/7 @ SKC, 9/14 @ MTL, 9/21 vs. CHI, 9/29 @ FCD, 10/5 vs. SKC, 10/19 @ NE, 10/27 vs. NE
Rundown: The Crew are here because though it doesn't seem likely, they're still in the playoff race. In my opinion, the key for Columbus is how they do in their next two matches, both of which are at home. A win over Western Conference foes Seattle won't be considered a "six pointer" but it will keep the Crew alive for another important midweek home date vs. Houston.
Call it Fire 2.0 version 2.a. After the Bakary Soumare/Mike Magee stage of the season (the super hot June, Fire 2.0, back in the playoff race) the closing of the transfer window earlier this month saw two more players - Juan Luis Anangono and Arevalo Rios - come in and now we're seeing another shift in the team.
New players came just in time too, because injury and fatigue start to necessitate rotation around this time in August. Last week against Montreal, Frank Klopas switched up his tactics to accommodate his newfound depth. The finishing and creativity of Magee and Patrick Nyarko were replaced by the industry and hold up play of Alex and Anangono, in a sort of fusion 4-5-1/4-4-2. That set up worked in part because Jeff Larentowicz and Logan Pause established a base of control and support in the midfield the whole team could build off, and also because of the way the outside midfielders got forward, Dilly Duka and Joel Lindpere scored both goals.
On Saturday night in New England, Klopas went back to his trusted 4-4-2 and plugged in new Uruguayan signing Rios alongside Larentowicz in Alex's former spot in the center of midfield. In his first MLS game, on turf to boot, Rios showed what we're getting by breaking up play all over the place and springing a few counter attacks. You can see what Klopas is thinking: Always pushing the team to counter swiftly after winning the ball, Klopas must be licking his lips at the idea of Rios looming around and sending Duka, Magee, Angonono, Amarikwa, and Nyarko off into space behind opposing defenses. This ball didn't turn into anything, but look at how quickly the Fire can forward with Rios:
But Saturday night the Fire lacked a little bit of rhythm and cohesion and it was clear that Rios and Larentowicz - having trained together, what, three days at most - have some work to do to provide the base of control and support that Larentowicz and Pause provided last week, or the balance of control and distribution that Larentowicz and Alex had during the Fire's turn-around in June/July.
It's tempting to think that unlocking the code of the center midfield (Laurentowitz/Pause vs. Laurentowitz/Alex vs. Laurentowitz/Rios vs. something else) will unlock the rest of the Fire season. That's probably psychological game playing, because as off-rhythm as it may have looked on Saturday, if Magee's shot off the post in the first half is an inch or two right, or if Duka reads Magee's pass in the second half, the center midfield issues may well have been buried under more stories of Magee's magical season.
Credit to New England, too, who played deep and didn't let Anangono get behind them as much as he'd have liked. But the Fire need a plan for teams that play deep. How will they break them down? On Saturday, the Fire couldn't adjust offensively, and after taking out Duka and Lindpere, they never had the width or chances they created against Montreal.
All year we've loved to break up the season into pieces. There was Fire 1.0, Magee's Fire 2.0, and now the current iteration. I think we've been conceptualizing the season in pieces because we want to see the Fire's poorer displays as merely symptoms of an old version of the Fire, not a sign of what's to come. The bugs have been fixed, we want to think, and when we see a run of bad form followed by some good games, we say "thank God, ok, we're past that".
We know the Fire have the quality to get into the playoffs but then a game like New England comes and they drop points against a playoff challenger. The psychological game we play to convince ourselves that the best is yet to come gets tougher. And all year, for every step the Fire take forward, they take another one back, only to get up and quickly go forward again.
But the season won't be decided by one game. The Fire have to regroup and figure out how to accommodate all the new players, get the rest of the team healthy, and push into the playoff race. Fans and commentators have argued all season about which is the real 2013, is it the one that beat Montreal last week or the one that lost to New England on Saturday?
I think the bipolar character of this team might be exactly where its strength comes from, and I saw enough on Saturday to suggest that, yes, the best is still to come. So let's stick with "Fire 2.0v2a." Next week it'll probably be something completely different.

Select shots from the Fire's match vs. New England
CREDIT: USA Today Sports Images
The Fire head east for another six pointer Saturday night, facing a slumping New England Revolution squad in Foxboro. Despite being without key players Mike Magee and Patrick Nyarko, the Men in Red beat Montreal at home last weekend. The Revs got handily beaten 3-0 in KC and are 0-2 in the month of August.
Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
The Magee/Anangonó partnership – how will it fare?
With Chris Rolfe not training this week and Mike Magee back, it appears the Fire will start with Magee and new DP striker Juan Luis Anangonó up front on the turf against New England.
The U.S. Open Cup semifinal defeat is the only time both players have been on the pitch together and it will be interesting to see how they combine against a New England team that has given up the second least amount of goals in the East.
Anangonó is very mobile for a target forward and is capable of dropping deep, something that Magee is also comfortable doing. On the turf, it will be important to keep the ball on the ground and retaining possession will also be key and I believe it will be up to both Magee and Anangonó to get other players like Dilly Duka and Joel Lindpere involved in the attack.
Any new strike partnership takes time to gel, but I look for Magee and Anangonó to not stray too far from each other and be heavily involved Saturday night.
The Rios/Larentowicz partnership – another potential central midfield pairing
WATCH: Lindpere, Larentowicz preview Revolution
Last weekend, we saw the return of Logan Pause, partnering Jeff Larentowicz in the middle and allowing the Ginger Ninja to get forward and support the attack.
This week, we could see a debut for Uruguayan midfielder Egidio Arevalo Rios, assumingly partnering the former New England man in the center of the park.
Most observers see Rios as a tough tackling midfielder who breaks up opposition attacks. This is certainly the case, but like Larentowicz, the Uruguayan also likes to get forward.
What will surprise some teams and even some Fire fans is Rios's willingness to get forward when possible. Though he won't score many goals (he had five in 53 matches last season) Rios will certainly start quite a few attacks from breaking up play in the opposition's half, something we've seen Patrick Nyarko do a lot of this season.
What will be very important on Saturday night is that both players must know where the other is and not have a situation where they're caught too high up the field. Communication and discipline from both players will be important, but I have no worries considering the wealth of experience the duo possesses.
New England's Attack – who will get the start on Saturday night?
When people look at the Revs attack, Diego Fagundez and Saer Sene immediately spring to mind. In addition, New England have a couple of American strikers that have the ability to change games, namely Juan Agudelo and Charlie Davies.
Agudelo is back to fitness after missing the last eight matches and is a familiar foe for the Fire, scoring in a 4-1 defeat by Chivas USA at Toyota Park back in March. He scored three goals in five games for the Revs before being injured and is certainly a threat.
Davies is looking to get his career back on track with the Revs and has a point to prove in MLS but he hasn't played a competitive match in a few months.
With the addition of the former U.S. international, the Revs have excellent strength in depth at the forward position and have the luxury of bringing on high quality strikers if need be.
I touched on this issue when the Fire played Philly back to back earlier this season and it will be important that the team is prepared to change midway through the game and adjust to whoever comes off the bench. All four strikers bring different qualities and it will be important for the Frank Klopas to adjust his side accordingly.
Prediction: With so many question marks about who will start and new partnerships on the field, this game is very difficult to predict. I am going with 1-0 Fire (first clean sheet in two months!) with a goal from Juan Luis Anangonó.

Earlier Thursday morning I was once again invited back to U.S. Soccer Federation headquarters in downtown Chicago to witness the semifinal round Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup coin flips.
Let me be honest, unlike the previous three rounds, Thursday's process was the simplest I've witnessed.
That's because even before showing up at Soccer House on Thursday morning, U.S. Soccer had already confirmed what the potential semifinal pairings would be earlier this week based on geography.
Combine that with all eight quarterfinal teams applying to host the semifinals, literally all that was needed was to flip the famous bicentennial silver dollar twice.
Still, Competition Secretary Paul Marstaller kept things official, handing out the same formatted paper which clearly listed the matchups and assigned heads and tails.
That sheet looked like this:
|D.C. United/New England Revolution
|Chicago Fire/Orlando City*
|Real Salt Lake/Carolina RailHawks*
|Portland Timbers/FC Dallas
If I can be bold enough to say, every time the Fire have come up in a coin flip, I honestly get this strange excitement in my stomach. The feeling of a simple coin going a long way to deciding your team's tournament fate is a thrilling, if not brief emotion.
TICKETS: Chicago Fire vs. Orlando City Quarterfinal on June 26
Luckily for the Fire, the first coin flip landed tails, meaning the winner of next Wednesday's game vs. Orlando City will host the winnder of D.C. United/New England on August 7. This is the third straight flip the Fire have won after losing the initial third round flip to the Charlotte Eagles.
In the second flip, the coin came up heads, meaning the winner of Real Salt Lake/Carolina RailHawks will host the winner of Portland/FC Dallas. The flip was the fourth consecutive win for RSL in the 2013 U.S. Open Cup.
And that was it.
Only one coin flip remains and that's for the final which will be played in early October. I'm told that will go down at some point in July.
All intentions to host the final were due along with intentions for the semifinal on Wednesday, though U.S. Soccer will likely not make that list public until the final coin flips occur.
I can confirm the Chicago Fire have applied to host the 2013 U.S. Open Cup final.

Could you please advice the appropriate fire detection and suppression system for emergency generator room?
The generator room located in the basement is having 5x 1,700kVA emergency generators and engine room mounted emergency switchboard and control system arranged to start and load as per the power demand.
The room is provided with 10 supply fans, each rated for 40,000 CFM and protected with heat detectors rated for 57deg.C and automatic suppression system using form water sprinkler, reported to be approved by the local authorities.
As the generators are operated on 75% load before insulating the exhaust silencers, the detectors operated the suppression system arranged for total flooding. This spraying water above the running generators caused the generator to trip and inoperative as the winding/ panels became wet.
My questions are:
a) Is form sprinkler system suitable for generator room, especially total flooding on multiple emergency generator room?
b) Is 57Deg.C heat detector suitable, noting that summer ambient in this area cross above 50deg.C? In case the supply fans are stopped during the generators running on load or generators stopped without cooling down, the temperature will shoot above 57deg.C and activate the suppression system
c) What is the best suppression system and detections system as per IEC or BS?
Appreciate your feedback
19 October 2012 07:59 PM
The 57 deg C Heat detector is not suitable, a higher temp detector should have been used.
Nothing wrong with a sprinkler system in a generator room, but normal practice is to use a spray mist system.

Windows XP Mandatory Retirement on April 8, 2014
Updated January 2014
Microsoft has announced that it will retire the windows XP operating system in April, 2014. April 8th will mark the end of support, meaning that security and driver updates will cease on that date. There is widespread expectation of a surge in hacker attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in WindowsXP immediately following its retirement. The desktops and laptops running XP that TC has purchased do not have sufficient cpu and memory to run Windows 7 or 8. CIS will prohibit their use on the College network, and strongly recommends against anyone using them elsewhere because they cannot be protected against attacks.
CIS is in the process of replacing all Windows XP desktops by the end of March. The College's
central computer replacement "tech fund" budget will be used only for XP desktop replacements until that work is
completed. As always, the tech fund can be used for replacements for full-time employees only,
and the amount is limited to the cost of the recommended Dell PC. Departments
will need to fund any difference between the Dell and Apple system cost, as
well as replacements for part-time staff. Part-time staff may be given a
hand-me-down system running Windows 7 or Mac OS 10. 7 or above if there is one
available. Hand-me-downs must be erased and re-imaged and priority will be
given to configuring new desktops for full-time staff who currently have Windows XP. Departments are expected to fund replacements of WindowsXP laptops.
Quotes for purchasing recommended configurations of desktops are found here:www.tc.edu/desktoppurchase and for laptops are found here: www.tc.edu/laptoppurchase. As the College's eProcurement system, Unimarket, is rolled out in the next 2 months, you will learn how to accomplish the process online. In the meantime, if you attach a recommended quote to a Purchase Requisition, you do not need to go to CIS for approval. You may contact the HelpDesk email@example.com or x3300 for assistance, as always.
If you have any questions, please contact Daniel Aracena at firstname.lastname@example.com or by telephone to x8231.

By TOM MCCOURTSun Advocate Columnist
The way I understand it, the Bill Barrett Corporation and the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance - SUWA, have worked out a deal so Barrett can do some drilling on the West Tavaputs Plateau. They did this without inviting or even informing our Carbon County commissioners about their secret meetings, this according to an article in the Sun Advocate on June 1. After Barrett and SUWA worked things out between them, they got around to involving our elected representatives in the negotiations. We expect a final agreement will be announced soon. Hmmm. What is wrong with this picture?
The Tavaputs Plateau is in Carbon County. Most of it belongs to the federal government and the state of Utah. It is public land administered by the BLM and the Utah State Institutional Trust Lands Administration - SITLA. Carbon County has a major stake in what happens out there. We have a vested interest in the resources, roads, royalties, taxes, recreational opportunities and development that affects that land.
So why are Bill Barrett and SUWA holding hands in the dark and having meetings on their own about the future of the Tavaputs? Last I checked, Bill Barrett Corp. doesn't own the Tavaputs and neither does SUWA. Public lands belong to "we the people." We have elected representatives to look after our interests. Why were they not involved in the deal making?
I've always been a supporter of American energy independence and drilling on public land. Until Al Gore and President Obama teach us how to burn wind and sunshine in our fuel tanks, we need the oil and gas. I've always defended Bill Barrett and their efforts to drill in the Tavaputs area. They have been very accommodating and willing to work with the state and county in preserving and protecting the wildlife and cultural heritage of Nine Mile Canyon. They have been more than generous in donating funds and helping with the roads and the preservation of cultural resources.
Having said that, I was truly offended when I read about Barrett and SUWA cutting secret deals behind closed doors. Have we allowed the process of energy development to sink to that level? Does the Barrett Corp. really need to kneel and kiss the ring of the state's most powerful environmental lobby to do business here? Where the hell is the U.S. Department of Energy? Where are Orrin Hatch and lame duck senator Bob Bennett? Where is Gov. Herbert and the state legislature? Does SUWA have more power and control over public lands today than the federal, state and county governments? When and how did that happen?
In my humble opinion, for Bill Barrett Corp. to meet in secret to cut a deal with SUWA is like doing business in Obama's hometown of Chicago. For years, to do business in Chicago meant paying off the Mafia and the political bosses. Extortion and corruption were so commonplace as to be factored in as a business expense. Is this what SUWA is doing to Barrett? Are they requiring a payoff to allow Barrett to do business?
I'm not suggesting that Barrett is paying bribes. I'm talking about an environmental payoff. As in, we'll allow you drill and not tie you up in court if you agree to do X, Y, and Z. In this case, it appears the deal is to keep the citizens off their public lands. SUWA will "allow" the drilling if Barrett puts locked gates on the roads to keep everyone out. That way Barrett gets to drill and SUWA strengthens their hand as the real power behind Utah land use policy.
This sets an ugly precedent. And, reading between the lines, it appears that part of the deal is for Barrett to be the one to suggest that locking the gates would be a good idea. This gives SUWA what they want with credible deniability.
Now all they need is for the county commissioners to agree to the deal. This puts the commissioners in a tight spot. If they fight for open roads, SUWA will threaten to sue and tie up the whole process for another thousand years. Barrett Corp. will lose, Carbon County will lose, the state of Utah will lose, and the American people will lose. The only way to win without a big fight is to give the green people what they want, and they want control of our public lands.
If we surrender to this, our public lands won't be public much longer. Look up "public" in your computer's thesaurus. It means communal, free, open, and unrestricted.

|Mountaineers Blast Gardner-Webb, 12-3
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Thursday, 14 April 2011 06:28
Daniel Kassouf (Lexington, N.C./North Davidson) and Zack Briggs (Lexington, N.C./Central Davidson) continued their recent tears at the plate to lead Appalachian State University baseball to a 12-3 rout over Gardner-Webb on Wednesday evening at Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium.
Kassouf homered for the third-straight game and notched his fourth-consecutive multi-hit outing while Briggs hit his fourth home run in five contests and extended his hitting streak to 15 games to pace Appalachian's season-high-tying 14-hit attack.
The duo provided ASU (20-15) with all the scoring it would need in the first three innings of the game. In the first, Kassouf drove in the game's initial run with an RBI double to left field and Briggs followed with his fifth homer of the season, a two-run blast that gave the Mountaineers a 3-0 lead.
Two innings later, Kassouf launched a towering two-run blast to left center field that extended the ASU advantage to 5-0.
Appalachian stretched the lead to 8-0 before Gardner-Webb (20-10-1) finally got on the board with a single run in the sixth. The Bulldogs would cut the deficit to 9-3 with two more runs in the seventh but the Mountaineers ended any hopes of a GWU comeback with a three-run eighth.
In addition to Kassouf (2-for-4) and Briggs (2-for-5), who each doubled and homered in the romp, ASU also received multi-hit performances from Jack Myers (Charlotte, N.C./Myers Park) (2-for-4, RBI, two runs), Tyler Tewell (Charlotte, N.C./Butler) (2-for-3, two runs) and Will Callaway (Greenville, S.C./Eastside), who came off the bench to go 3-for-3 with a double and two RBI.
On the mound, three Mountaineer pitchers limited Gardner-Webb, the nation's sixth-best hitting team with a .328 average coming in, to just seven hits while not walking a batter. Ryne Frankoff (Apex, N.C./Apex) got the win, surrending just one run on four hits while striking out five over a career-long six innings. Frankoff (1-0) had never pitched more than 2.1 innings in 10 previous apperances in his career.
Daniel Merck and Dusty Quattlebaum led GWU with two hits apiece.

A Maine-based railway that owned the runaway train involved in a catastrophic accident in Quebec early this month is laying off employees.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ A union representing Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway employees said Wednesday the company has laid off 17 workers and two managers from its 75-person workforce in Quebec.
Details of layoffs in Maine weren't immediately available, but the state Department of Labor issued a statement saying it's prepared a plan to support Maine workers who are laid off.
A Montreal, Maine and Atlantic train carrying crude oil derailed on July 6 and exploded, killing dozens of people and triggering a massive blaze in Lac-Megantic, Quebec. The disaster left the track unusable.
A company official says the layoffs are temporary and workers will be rehired once the track is reopened.

Rasheed Wallace Update
(Rasheed) is running on state-of-the-art machines but not on the court. Woodson said, however, if tomorrow was a playoff game, he would play. My theory is they are in absolute no rush to bring Wallace back because the medical staff must feel he has so many games left on his left foot, which has a stress reaction. Woodson said he'll start running on the court next week – he's said that before – and he'll need time to get into better condition. Think all they care about is Rasheed being right for the playoff run. Again, as we have reported, he does not have a stress fracture but Dr. Lisa Callahan is concerned it can turn into one without proper rest. If he fractures the foot, he's done. For now, they can live without him, especially if Camby is back in the next 10 days. We reported today Camby has taken off his walking boot and could be back in a week.
Tommy DeeMarc and I chatted on Monday as Sheed shot jumpers and I mentioned that he is a major key to this team's success. In fact, I think that if his foot is a problem the Knicks' chances at a title run really take a hit unless they can get more rebounding from Camby.

Bellex Biotox Review
Review of Bellex Biotox
We will begin this review of the Bellex Biotox with a very honest statement – we will not be recommending that you purchase it. There are many reasons behind this, but the first and foremost is that the manufacturer does not provide a list of any of the ingredients in the compound. Because they also do not sell the product through their site or offer any sort of money back guarantee, it makes us hesitate to even explore the product any farther.
What we can tell you is that the product is not widely available online and that it claims to address the most common signs of aging – wrinkles. It is supposed to be applied twice each day, and is "safe" according to the website due to the fact that it uses only natural ingredients. Because these are not provided, we cannot say if the compound is hypoallergenic or safe for all skin types.
Where to Buy
You will have a difficult time finding the Bellex Biotox product online. At the time that this review goes to press, we did not find a retail site, just reviews and comments on the product itself.
Pro's and Con's
There are far more cons than pros with this formula. The negative factors include:
- The official website is almost devoid of useable information;
- There are no ingredients listed;
- There are no actual benefits indicated;
- There is no mention of the safety level of the product;
- It is difficult to find available online; and
- There is no pricing information or guarantee available.
The positive factors:
- This claims to use natural ingredients; and
- It claims to reduce wrinkles when used twice each day.
Best Price
We could not find any information about prices for the Bellex Biotox formula, nor did we see that it came with a money back guarantee when it was available.
It now comes as no great surprise that we are not recommending this product. Without any indication of the ingredients or safety of the compound, we will not make a recommendation for using it. Since it is not available through any of the outlets that we use, and since we could not find pricing, we cannot give any sort of accurate review accept to say that this is a product that needs to be removed from the market or which needs attention from the manufacturer in terms of updating the website.

The cured anchovies will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week.
YIELD: Makes approximately 48 fillets, or 8 servings
- 2 pounds fresh anchovies
- 2 cups white wine vinegar
- 2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons hot red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup finely chopped Italian parsley
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced paper-thin
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- Lemon wedges (optional)
Using scissors, trim the fins off of all the anchovies. Using a sharp paring knife, slit each fish along the belly from head to tail; remove the entrails and rinse well. Cut off the heads and carefully pull out the spine and pin bones from the top with your index finger and thumbnail. Separate the two fillets and rinse again. Arrange a layer of the fillets in a deep oval gratin dish and sprinkle with a tablespoon or two of vinegar. Continue until all the fish fillets are used, then pour the rest of the vinegar over the fish. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
Remove the anchovies from the vinegar, rinse, and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Wash out the dish and dry well. Return a single layer of cured anchovies to the dish and sprinkle with 2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil, a pinch of oregano, a pinch of pepper flakes, a pinch of parsley, three or four garlic slices, and a pinch of salt. Layer in the rest of the anchovies, sprinkling each layer with oil, oregano, pepper flakes, parsley, garlic, and salt. Cover again and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
To serve, bring anchovies to just below room temperature (in Italy they would be served at about 58°F). Remove from the oil and arrange six or seven on each plate with a lemon wedge if desired.

Melo Isn't Getting Calls… And the Numbers are Staggering
Tommy Dee
I've watched enough Knicks games and NBA games in general to understand that a whistle can control and dominate a game in the same way a player can. And when a player combines dominance offensively WITH whistles you can put all your numbers away… that players team is going to be a championship contender.
We here get a kick out of telling the other side of numbers, but the truth is I appreciate numbers. I appreciate them more when they validate what I see with my own two eyes.
Carmelo Anthony hasn't been getting respect in the form of foul calls and it's been this way, consistently, since he's been traded.
I've taken the time to look up some numbers from his career stats and game logs and here's what we've found to validate he's not getting the same calls going to the basket in the regular season. Regular season games are critical for playoff positioning.
First, let's make a simple point. We won't confuse you with formulas or rate usage, we'll use basic math combined with basketball logic backed by results in those numbers. Melo is a supreme ,alpha-male post player. He's can't be guarded on the left block or elbow, and is pretty good going to his left on the right block. He gets to the basket whenever he wants and that progression should lead to contact and foul calls. Why? Because his defender is usually moving in reverse in a vulnerable defensive position and doesn't want to get dunked on. So there's almost always contact. With that said…
- Let's start basic. Just look at his FTA per game in Denver. He had years of 8.9 per game FOR THE SEASON. Since the trade he's attempting 7 FTA per game.
- In his 7 plus seasons in Denver spanning 564 games Melo averaged > 10 FTAs 22.5 times per year or > 10 FTs 180/564= 32% of games played. Since he's come to NY that number has shrunk to 18% of games played 17/92.
- In those same 564 games in Denver Melo attempted > 15 FTs 41 times. Since joining the Knicks that number has again shrunk to 4/91.
So, if you like Melo or you hate Melo, if you're being fair, ask yourself what's changed?
I have to say I share in Melo's frustrations, because the evidence is clear and having a player who gets those foul calls is an absolute commodity, but he has to do a MUCH better job containing his emotions and this should change.

Yes i agree global warming is a bad thing and yes we should try and slow it down . But i don't agree that we caused it , this Earth of ours has been going for millions of years without us bothering it . Now the main cause of concern for everyone is the poles melting because there melting quicker now than when records began . But what about before records began ? i mean at one stage didn't we have an ice age when all the earth was covered in that cold wet white stuff , until the mammoths and dinosaurs started driving their 4x4's about and melted it all with their goddamn fossil fuels . The poles have always melted and they will carry on melting till they thaw out completely , there's nothing we can do its just another age of our Earth . My only concern about global warming is the rain forests now I'm only joiner i didn't too well at school but one thing i have noticed is the rain forests these used to be vast and plenty and now they are all but gone . I think that these places are the last bit of real Earth forget about the poles they've already gone save the rain forest's and get them back to their natural glory then and only then will we save our planet there's a reason they've lasted millions of years and i think its cos they control our planet and it needs them . Anyway like i said before global warming is just Earth going through its next change we didn't cause it

Re: Global Warming its always been here
There have always been natural cycles and always will be.
The current warming is not a part of any natural cycle. If it is, where is the evidence? 20,000 scientists and the IPCC don't seem to be able to find it, the only people who do suggest it are lay-people and give no evidence to support the idea.
Re: Global Warming its always been here
who knows what the natural cycle of this planet is ?? Things change constantley !! What i was saying is replant the rainforests get them back to their former glory any carbon will be sorted out . I mean what the f**k is palm oil anyway ? Replant the rain forests our planet will more than likely cool down , and as for no evidence where is your evidence that this is'nt the planets natural cycle mind you the ice age probably happened because all the mammoths left their freezer doors opened

This year, New Mexicans have the opportunity to vote on five constitutional amendments and four bond issues in addition to all the state and local candidates on the ballot.
You may feel it a bother to read the small print on the reverse side of the ballot but this is the one part of state government in which citizens actually get a direct vote on issues facing the state.
The rest of the ballot is just voting on the people who will make all the decisions for us.
Several states have a referendum process in which groups can collect petition signatures to get items on the ballot.
Arizona and California are two of those states. Their ballots involve multiple pages of questions accompanied by instruction booklets.
•Amendment #1 allows the state to create a scholarship program for veterans of conflicts since 1990. Such a program currently exists for Vietnam Veterans. Why were veterans of conflicts between 1975 and 1990 left out? It's ripe for litigation.
•Amendment #2 allows elected county officials 12 years in office instead of eight. It's an argument of whether experience or new ideas are better. Incumbents can be voted out but history tells us they have an advantage.

BRASHER IRON WORKS - A family of five lost their trailer in a fire that broke out shortly after 8 a.m. Monday on County Route 55, approximately 100 feet from the Smith Road, in the town of Brasher.
Helena Fire Chief Frank Burns said the fire gutted the interior of trailer owned by Justin and Heather Soulia and their three children, ages 5, 3 and 1 1/2. Mutual aid was provided by volunteers from the Brasher-Winthrop and North Lawrence departments, and Tri-Town Rescue also responded to the fire scene. The departments were dispatched to the fire at about 8:15 a.m. Monday and reported back in service at 10:30 a.m. The American Red Cross also responded to the fire scene.
Ms. Soulia and the three children were home when the fire broke out, fire officials said., noting Mr. Soulia had left the residence to go to Massena a short time earlier.
Mr. Burns said the cause of the fire was determined to be a Kerosun heater being used to heat the home. They can be very dangerous. Read the manufacturers manual before you use them and do not fill the units inside the residence, he said.
