Video: Benigni/Oklobzija on Rolston Hire
2-On-Your-Side's Adam Benigni shares his thoughts on the Sabres hiring Ron Rolston as the full time head coach.
The news became official at a news conference Tuesday morning. Regier said the plan at the time they fired Ruff and promoted Rolston back in February was to interview other candidates. Regier says that changed during the time that Rolston went 15-11-5 in the months that followed.
In the other video link that's attached, Adam visits with Kevin Oklobzija, veteran hockey reporter from the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Rolston becomes the 16th head coach in franchise history.

For the longest time now, Blackberry Playbook users have been waiting for Android app compatibility, native email, PIM access and calendar applications to be officially released. It seems that the waiting time is over with the planned February release of this long awaited Playbook OS 2 version which will include these apps on a new QNX operating system. We believe these upgrades coupled with a $300 OFF price tag, will allow the tablet to enjoy more invigorating sales volumes.
Yet, given the RIM's numerous stumbles over this past year, this handful of free apps is a step in the right direction to win back market favor. Finally, the Blackberry Playbook — which has always been a capable, powerful tablet — is getting an OS that is more on par with its hardware. It now time to protect your device with branded tablet accessories.

|Garbage Dumpers Return to Help Clean-Up
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 08 October 2012 10:25
The Watauga Sheriff's Office reported this morning that the garbage dumped on US 421 in the pre-dawn hours Friday came from a High Country Waste truck, and the company crews returned to the scene to assist DOT and Cove Creek firemen with the clean-up.
Company officials admitted the mistake caused the mess along US 421 north of Boone. The trash dumped in the early morning darkness and fog on the south-bound side of the road for over a half mile, starting near the Quality Plus Gas station in Vilas to near the NC 105 bypass, snarled early Friday morning traffic through Vilas.

Carbon County citizens and residents across Utah are rallying to support United States military personnel in the field as well as the soldiers' families left at home.
But for local Utah National Guard family assistance coordinator Becky Tallerico, the well-meaning donations drives can be a nightmare at locations across the state.
"We really appreciate the support that the public is giving not only the service personnel, but also the families," pointed out Tallerico on Tuesday. "But the problem is that, without donated items and money going through our office at the armory, I'm afraid some of it isn't getting to whom it is supposed to go. We have a real mess going on in the state right now."
Several weeks ago, the U.S. Department of Defense issued a news release asking Americans to refrain from sending unsolicited mail to service personnel for security reasons. Unsolicited mail, packages and donations from organizations or individuals also compete for limited airlift space used to transport supplies, war fighting materials and correspondence from loved ones.
But unsolicitied mail is only part of the problem.
"I constantly hear about different organizations and groups collecting items and money for the guardsmen and their families, yet we are never informed that it is going on," explained Tallerico. "The problem is that we are concerned that donations are not going where they are supposed to and we can't know if they are getting to the proper people if they don't come through the office at the armory."
The family assistance coordinator office was set up to handle matters during times or armed conflict. Yet despite recent reports in the news media, many people ignore the requests to place donations and send materials through the proper channels.
"We know that people's intentions are terrific, but this all has to be handled in a coordinated way," indicates Tallerico, whose husband and son are with the 1457th combat battalion contingent from Price.
There are a number of concerns about residents donating items blindly upon request. The first concern is whether the individuals or organizations seeking donations actually plan to see that military families and service members get the items or cash. There have been some instances throughout the country of unscrupulous individuals bilking people in the name of troop support. Second, people are often not thinking clearly when they donate, particularly when sending items to service personnel in the field.
"The fact is that, if service members can't fit what they get into their duffle bags or in their pockets, they will not be able to keep it," noted Tallerico. "People's intentions are terrific, but if they are mismanaged it just causes problems."
Another difficulty involves massive mailings, like from students.
"These letters, drawings and notes are just precious to the servicemen. But they cannot be sent individually because the numbers become overwhelming," stated Tallerico. "Any one who wants to do a group mailing like this should contact us. We will bundle it up and send it in one mailing."
She encouraged Carbon County residents to make donations for military personnel and families through the armory.
"That main reason is so that we can document the donations and that we can inform the service people about it," explained Tallerico. "They would like to know. "
"We would like to see people donate stamps because mailing from families to service people gets so expensive," she continued. "Also, phone cards are an excellent donation. But we have found, for those overseas, that the only cards that consistently work are AT&T cards. Remember, too, that any cards donated must be international calling cards."
In addition, Tallerico urged local residents to contact the armory for instruction on how to conduct fundraising activities for military members and their families.
"That's a must," she explained. "Without it, our soldiers will either get things they don't need or can't use or they won't get anything at all."
The Price office not only helps people from the local Utah National Guard battalion, but all individuals serving in any capacity, whether it be in the nation's regular armed forces or reserve units, pointed out Tallerico.
"If they will just contact us, we will work with them, too," she said.
Interested parties may contact Tallerico at the armory at 637-1743.

Finger Dislocation (cont.)
Finger Dislocation Causes
Patient Comment Read 1 Comment
Accidents can cause a "jamming" force to be applied to the end of the finger, or the finger may be forcefully overextended. Either of these situations, or a combination of both, can result in a dislocation.

Check Out New Ill Nino Media
Posted on February 12, 2008"What Comes Around" - we are bringing out another Ill Nino track for free download from their Revolution...Revolucion debut. "What Comes Around" was the song in-progress throughout the writing and recording of Revolution...Revolucion. It originally started life as a more straightforward groove-metal track with Cristian scat-singing in Spanish over Marc's acoustic guitar line. The original verses were much more straightforward with the original choruses being completely different in melody and lyric. It was during recording that the verses took on their current approach with a much stronger and more intimate performance from Cris. The chorus always remained an issue: neither the band or A&R being particularly satisfied with it. Cris probably spent two months brainstorming over what only came together when the band re-cut some vocals with the Scrap 60 guys. Eddie Wohl always referred to the chorus as "the Staind chorus." The finished song was a surprise for everyone from the band to the record company. No one ever pegged it as the single from the onset of recording. That was always either "Unreal" or "Nothing's Clear". Well, "What Comes Around" indeed! Check out MUSIC for the MP3.
Here's a few early words from Mike Gitter, the A&R guy who signed them to RR, about their live show - and now they've been here you know this to be true... "When Ill Nino hits the stage they are a pummeling for both the eyes and ears. Driving it all is Chavarri, big arms a blur and a huge smile on his face from start to finish. Beside him, percussionist Roger Vasquez, who I recognize from his former band, Hispanic insurrectionists, Ricanstruction, is making the rhythms extra spicy. Guitarist Marc Rizzo is all flying kicks, confidence and muscle while Brazilian transplant Jardel Paisante beats the guitar like a long lost Cavalera brother. I'm surprised to see an old friend and longtime NYC scene dude, Laz Pina taking up the bass chores and stomping around as he wrings out the low end. And in the middle of it all, Cris Machado has grown into a fantastic live presence. Dreadlocks flying, aggro and melody in dos lenguas erupting from his mouth. From the kick-in call to revolucion of "Rumba" straight to a cover of Soulfly's "Eye for an Eye", the crowd is Ill Nino's for the taking. And they take. And the crowd is suitably beaten by the end of the taking." "I'm blown away by the end of their set."
NEW VIDEO - Here it is, your first chance to see the first Ill Nino video. "God Save Us" was shot in the course of a couple hours in a high school gymnasium in Southern California. Director Darren Doane (Pennywise, FAR) scammed the location, the guys stopped in and the Rumba was on! The spectacle you are about to watch took place one fine day in late June. Check out the brand new video for God Save Us in the VIDEO section.

Stream Global Services has made good on its rent for a decade at the former F.W. Woolworth department store at 146 Arsenal St., which is owned by the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency.
On Tuesday, the agencys loan review committee approved a five-year extension on Streams lease for the 76,000-square-foot call center, along with $250,000 and $150,000 five-year loans and a $564,000 grant to help fund a $4.2 million capital project.
The project will enable the company to hire 300 additional employees, adding a major customer contract to do so. The five-year lease and funding are expected to receive final approval from the agencys board of directors Feb. 7.
Along with the loans approved by the JCIDA, the capital project has secured a $250,000 loan from the Watertown Local Development Corp. and is expected to receive a $1 million grant from Empire State Development Corp. The company also has applied to the Development Authority of the North Country for a $250,000 loan for the project, which will be reviewed in February.
Stream will contribute $1.2 million in equity for the project, and parent company Stream Global Services will be the guarantor for the loans. JCIDA, which will serve as the lead agency issuing the loans, will put forward the Stream building as collateral for loans issued by other agencies that contribute to the project.
Stream soon will finish paying off an $800,000 loan originally made by JCIDA in 2003. After it does so, monthly payments of $80,000 it makes to the agency should drop to about $20,000 based on the money it will owe to the agency over the next five years.
Staffers at the company, open around the clock, offer technical customer assistance for national companies from an array of sectors: entertainment, telecommunications, insurance, software networking and business-to-business cloud computing.
Donald C. Alexander, the JCIDAs CEO, said those savings could position the company to create even more jobs. Stream, which recently hired 200 workers, now has 700 employees. Once the planned upgrades are completed, the facility will accommodate a work force of 1,000. The company continues to hire workers on an ongoing basis.
My guess is that, if we can reduce their monthly payments further, they will be in a position where they can create more jobs, Mr. Alexander said.
David J. Converse, chairman of the JCIDA board of directors, lauded the agencys move to approve the funding package for Stream. He said the companys unsullied track record proves it has a strong financial backbone.
I dont see any other company trying to come here to create 300 jobs, he said. They could have chosen to move this company any place in the world, but they came here for the long term.

We got a note from a mom who thanked us for this story her son told her. He was flying home, exhausted after a long and stressful tour. The airport volunteer got him some food, pointed him to a recliner, and told him to get some rest. He drifted into a much needed nap. He reported that he stirred briefly as he realized she was draping a warm blanket over him. And a bit later, she gently touched his shoulder to wake him so he wouldn't miss his flight.
It meant a great deal to that soldier. But it meant the world to his mom who wrote, "Thanks for being there for my son when I couldn't be."

He made an OK assessment, he tried to help, the treatment he suggested failed but then he recommended a surgeon that he needs to stop recommending.
He needs to follow up and check on status after his referrals just so he would know in the future who to recommend and who not to recommend.

Easy to talk to. I had an issue that remained undiagnosed despite several CT scans, and blood testing.

Was difficult to get in to see him beacuse he was booked for 3 months. But was easy to talk to and explained issues well. Staff raved about his surgical expertise - and did a good job with my procedure. Overall, very satisfided and would go back to him for any issues in the future.

I have seen Dr. Ramrakhiani for the last 4 years. He has always been very attentive and listens to what I have to say, and is very thorough in explaining possible causes. I have found him to be very knowledgeable about current treatments or testing, even some alternative. He has a very good bedside manner, and he or his assistant will call me back if I have a question or problem. Although he is very busy, I seldom have trouble getting in to see him when I need to. For office visits/procedures, he generally sees me very close to the appointed time except for the ocassional conflicting emergency case. I have always received very good follow up care.

I am surprised by the reviews above. I was also refered to him as a subspecilaist in pancreatic problem. He saw me, perofmed a procedure that helped diagnose the condition and ultimately referred me to a surgeon at a UC that operated on me. Without Drs timely diagosis, the tumor may have been diagnosed too late. So overall excellent care, great communication skills, an expert at what he does. so would highly recommend him.

This doctor was highly recommended as an expert in his field. While this may be true, his cold bedside manner and impatience are very unappealing. He told me several times that his patients' knowledge of current research developments is often more comprehensive than his which doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. I would NEVER go to him again and I suggest you don't either.

Not impressed and would not recommend for the following reason, after a conservative treatment and injection of Botox to cure a stubborn fissure he referred me to the wrong Surgeon. There was no follow up and I felt I was nothing more than a reference number. No follow up, No inquiry, Does not return phone calls either. I gave up and went looked for a different Gastro !

I love the community here at Rockford University. There is always something going on here which is a great way to easily meet people and make new friends.
As I went through some core business classes when I came to Rockford, I realized that I began to really enjoy them because of the knowledgeable and caring professors.
The thing I love most about RU is the ability I have to connect with my professors. This is really important to me because I feel like I can always come to them for help or academic advice if I need it.
I love Rockford University. Not only did I stand out as a person, but I had possibilities!
A Rock Solid Education.

Chicago Fire
As many of you may recall, the Chicago Fire's very own Gonzalo Segares was recognized as one of three Modern Hispanic Gentlemen last year for his charitable efforts and work in the community.
The honor has now presented him with an opportunity to continue the positive work by potentially helping him earn an additional $5,000 for the Chicago Fire Foundation.
But he needs your help.
Between now and August 8, you can show your support for Gonzalo and the Foundation by voting online.
Every vote will get him closer to the $5,000, which would be used to support the many community-based initiatives and youth programs offered by the Foundation, including the P.L.A.Y.S. Program, Premier Skills and more.
Help Sega and the Chicago Fire Foundation by voting here.
Select shots from the Fire's 3-1 win over the Silverbacks.
It had been a long-time coming and put off a bit by Gonzalo Segares' ankle injury earlier this season but the Costa Rican's appearance in the Fire's 1-1 draw at Sporting KC had a ring of history to it.
With the 90 minute shift, Segares played his 216th regular season game for the club, moving him past goalkeeper Zach Thornton for third all-time on the club's MLS regular season appearance list, joining current Fire assistant coach CJ Brown (1st, 296) and teammate Logan Pause (2nd, 279).
Fire kitman Charles Raycroft worked a little magic and made the trio these jerseys to commemorate the occasion...
Congrats to Gonzalo on joining the club and thanks to all three of you for your 791 regular season matches and 35 years of combined service to the Fire!

Chicago Fire vs. Toronto FC
MLS Regular Season
Toyota Park – July 2, 2014
Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop
On team's overall performance
"I thought we did enough to win the game. When it is eleven men against ten, we should win the game. We had our chances. It's frustrating, I've said it a few times; we've tied and maybe deserved to win the game, but we haven't. That's our problem right now: we can't seem to win a game. We haven't lost a ton, but we haven't won many. It's a weird situation, it's frustrating; we can't get over the finish line with a win. The guys are frustrated in there, we are, as a staff, and me as a head coach. It's not from lack of effort, which is important, it's just lapses of concentration at the wrong time. They had one or two chances and scored one goal; we probably had five to six, seven, eight chances and scored one. It's the story of our season so far, so it's been frustrating."
On issues with low number of shots on goal
"We'll have to look at them again. I thought we had enough chances to hit the target. I'm not out there, I can't remember all the chances we had. I think the one cross that went in, if we just get a nick on it, we score; Joe Bendik made a very good save, he traps it. [We had] one on a good volley; the offside goal, I haven't seen whether it was offside or not, so it was another good chance. You can't always tell if you're hitting the target is the right thing; if you try to bend it around the keeper and it just goes wide, sometimes that's unlucky too. But we had enough looks in the final third and in their box to get more than one goal; but we didn't, so that's the story of our season if you like, and our theme tonight."
On the performance of midfielder Harry Shipp
"Good. On a positive note, Harry's starting to blossom into a good player. I think he's starting to play with a lot of confidence, and he knows he's a good player. He's maturing nicely, and I think that it's no surprise that he does well. He's in a lot of the good stuff that we do going forward. So, very happy with his development. Good goal again; I think he's at six goals already, a great tally for any player, let alone a rookie coming into a brand new, professional league. He's done fantastically well."
On the performance of forwards Quincy Amarikwa and Mike Magee
"It was difficult. I thought the two center backs were physical and strong, and I spoke to the boys to play a little quicker and try to separate them a little bit. I think, in the second half, we did a better job creating chances. I know it's against ten men, but still, the same back four, or back eight if you like, they got one up front in Jermaine Defoe. I think we created enough opportunities to do better with what we had, and I haven't spoken to either guy yet, but both of them had pretty good looks tonight; just that final, last, little piece was just missing. But I'm not going to fault them for effort, I think that they worked well. They tried to do the right things, moved the ball pretty sharply for us, passed it well. Again, it's a little easier against ten men, but I still think we did the right things to create enough chances, but we just didn't get our final touch."
On the second center midfield position
"We're looking. It's a spot where Alex has been injured a lot this season; I don't know how many games he's played, it's not been many, he's not played a league game for a good nine weeks or so. Once they went to ten men, I felt we needed something more offensive, and Alex obviously has more of an offensive mind than Chris [Ritter]; Chris had a pretty good bang on his eye, so I think it was a smart move to do that. If you look at the game as a whole, with Alex in there, we did create enough chances to get something out of it. Whether he played really well himself, he didn't play for a while, so he was going to be a little rusty. But I think that the formation was fine, and it gave us enough chances to get into the game or win the game."
On going for it by substituting forward Juan Luis Anangono for defender Greg Cochrane
"I tend to think, for me, if we're tying, we need to win games. If we had lost 2-1, it didn't really change too much (the points) so we're trying to get three points. We went to three in the back, but it didn't quite work, so I put Jeff [Larentowicz] back. So we were going to go with Jeff, Baky [Soumare], and Patrick [Ianni], but we decided to just go with four and just push Lovel [Palmer] and [Grant] Ward, playing right back, he's really a right wing, forward. We possessed the ball enough, did enough to get something out of it, so we were definitely going for it to try and get a win."
Chicago Fire Midfielder Jeff Larentowicz
On the break:
"It's disappointing. We talk about the little things. There's one chance in this game for the other team and they took it. We were second best."
On the team's reaction Yallop's comments at training:
"What he said was taken in by everybody. There's time left, however. We can't hope to hang our hat on ties at the end of year, especially home games and conference games. We've got a lot of work ahead of us."
On the substitutions:
"In other games, earlier in the year, Frank has shown he wants to win and puts on players that are going to make a difference. Last week Juan [Luis Anangano] did that for us in the game."
On the difference between ties and losses:
"There's always a difference. However, when you have so many ties that feel like losses, it's tough."
Chicago Fire Midfielder Harry Shipp
On his goal:
"I think someone played it out to Mike [Magee] off a corner kick, and I was actually jogging over to take the corner when I saw it go out and I sort of slipped along the endline. I think Mike made the pass, I took a few touches then took the shot and scored."
On not being able to get the win playing a man up:
"It's really frustrating, it sucks and it feels like a loss. We should have scored about four goals in the second half. I think we all need to figure out how and what we can do better to not fall behind in the game, that's the key I think. We started getting into the game, up a man, they scored a goal and that kind of killed us going into halftime."
On the possibility of Rookie of Year Honors:
"It's not even on my mind. When you're on a team like this with two wins all year, you're focusing everyday on trying to go in and get a win and to learn how to get better. I'd rather not score a goal all year and be on a winning team than score however many goals I score and be on a losing team. So, Rookie of the Year is not really on my mind."
On the substitutions:
"We had the ball pretty much the entire second half. Being up a man obviously helps that, but we can't afford to tie at home. We came in to this game knowing that we needed a win, we kind of billed it as a game to turn our season around, which hopefully gives us momentum heading into the second half of the year. It didn't happen, so we have to look toward Kansas City on Sunday."
Toronto FC Head Coach Ryan Nelson
On surviving with a point on the road:
"Yeah, any point on the road is a very good point, especially when you go down to ten men. The guys were absolutely fantastic. Really in control of the game, up until the decision, and even then I thought we looked like we were going to get one on the break. They [Chicago] did very well in the second half, as they would, Frank's a very good coach, and pushed us high and we kind of sat back and we didn't have the confidence to maybe press a little higher, and force them into making mistakes. They kind of trapped us in a wee bit, but we had to defend. We defended very well. When you're down to ten men, you need a lot of organization and a lot of character and a lot of strength, and I think the boys showed that in abundance."
On Jackson's goal:
"We worked on that potentially but our wide guys would have a lot of influence running in behind their defenders and it just happened to be that he got himself into that position and it was a perfect cross. Really good finish."
On the team holding its defensive shape for the duration of the second half:
"They had every excuse to lose it. Away from home, and Chicago desperate for a win, absolutely desperate for a win, and Frank's done a great job with them, they are a great team. Obviously with then me, we had to sharpen our steel; this point is very valuable. It proves now that at six unbeaten that when we are away from home, and being down to ten men twice, we've managed to get something out of the game. That's extremely important."
Toronto FC Defender Nick Hagglund
On fighting through being down to ten men for over 60 minutes:
"I was pretty proud of the guys and how we responded with that red card. A lot of times, people go down, especially when you go early in the game, you're down and out. Usually a red card towards the end of the game is a little different, and you push a little bit more. I thought we being zero-zero, I thought we did well."
On what Coach Nelson said at halftime:
"He said just to stay organized. We knew that they were going into halftime, they were going to change their plan a little bit more and figure us out with ten men versus eleven men, but I thought we made sure we were tight and made it difficult for them to score."
On coming away with a point:
"I think in the locker room we were pretty disappointed. I think the goal was soft. Could have been deflected. Joe got a hand on it. I think everyone here is disappointed that we didn't get the three points, because we were up. I think it's a step in the right direction. To be disappointed with getting a tie and not three points [especially on the road]."
On going into the three game home stand coming off the World Cup break:
"We are pretty excited to get Mike [Bradley] back in the lineup. Being at home, we are tough at home. That is where we thrive. We still have two or three games in hand on most teams so there's an opportunity for us to jump up standings."
Toronto FC Midfielder Jackson
On earning a hard fought point:
"We weren't expecting to play with ten men. However, this team is a strong team, and we fought through it. As a whole we played really together and we got that point that we needed."
On his goal:
"At training we talk a lot and we practice it and we communicate constantly. Fortunately, I was at the right spot at the right time. We continued to fight and continued to be a team as whole and get ahead."
On taking advantage of the space on the flanks to utilize on counterattacks:
"I was fully aware of the space I had so I was just waiting for that one spot, that one time, and I got it with myself and Dom [Oduro]. Unfortunately, the goalkeeper got a hand on it and I was happy with that touch but I want to reiterate again that we have to continue working strong as a team, whether we have ten men or eleven men."

Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop
Opening remarks
"It's always good to win any match, and I think that on the basis of the play we had, especially the first half, I thought we deserved to win the game. So, obviously, the red card for Parkhurst makes a difference in the match, but I still felt from that, we went on and had a good performance. To score four goals in any game – although we got an extra 30 minutes to do that – is good. Pleased for the guys. You know, the Crew made it difficult. We went up and then we go down. But we came back into it, good substitutions by the staff, if I do say so myself, to bring Juan on. But Juan's been waiting for a chance, and I was very happy for him to get two goals tonight."
On Juan Luis Anangono's performance
"If you look at Juan's production, especially maybe earlier when he's played a little more minutes…I forget the game we had at home, he got brought down for the penalty kick. He scored a goal in one of the games. He missed the PK. He could've scored that one. So, what I will say about Juan is he's a terrific professional. He's been right with the team all along, with not getting many minutes because of Quincy's play I feel like. But what I like about him is the way he goes about it. He tries very hard for the team. And I'm very, very happy for him to get the two goals tonight."
On Mike Magee's status
"He got clocked in the ankle when I think it was Kevan George caught him with the challenge. So we'll see how he is, but I'm not sure right now."
On what changed in the second half
"I said to our guys at halftime 'they're going to make changes' because I thought we outplayed them completely the first half. So I said, 'Expect to see changes.' And I think that the goal from Anor, he made a difference. They were more forceful. They tried to quickly counter attack on us. And to be honest, they did a good job. And I think that until we kind of figured it out towards the end of the game, we were in a bit of trouble. So again, we've got to be better at doing a 90-minute game and making sure that we see it through and do our thing. But what I will say is that the fighting spirit in the guys to come back again and to go on and win the game is great. It'd just be nice to put a good performance of 2 or 3 to nil at some point. It'd be nice, but we're not there yet. We're trying hard. And I can't fault the guys for effort at all. They've been great."
On making adjustments throughout the game
"We were down in the game, so we have to push it. Bringing on Alex is a bit more attacking minded than putting Logan in his role. Juan's a forward, he wants to score goals. Bringing him on obviously is key. I just wanted to bring on a fresh defender with Jhon. I felt that Columbus was getting into the game with the quick breaks. I wanted to make sure that we shored that up a little bit. You know, I was pleased with the subs that came on. They did a nice job. And I think the whole team responded when we did that."
Chicago Fire forward Juan Luis Anangono
On the opportunity to come into the game and be a hero
"The team worked hard to get all the goals and I'm personally happy to have scored the two goals. I think the whole team are heroes. The whole team worked hard. This is a team, we're 11 players and seven subs and other players that are all helping the team. This is a team, there isn't one hero. If there's a hero, it's the team. We all have the characteristics and we're all ready to play. Who plays and who doesn't is the decision of the coach. I think the coach does what is best for the team, thinking of who will help the team. I believe we're all good players and we all need to be ready to help at whatever moment."
Chicago Fire midfielder Jeff Larentowicz
On using the Open Cup games to help turn things around over the break
"It's just about the will to win, and taking care of the things we should. I think that having two home games in the Open Cup is a good opportunity for us to get into a rhythm. We've had some injuries and we've gotten some guys back. Right now we're just finding a way to win and build on that heading back into the regular season."
On how this will help going back to MLS play next week
"The guys that are playing in these games are probably the guys that will be playing once the regular season starts up again, so I think it's about everyone developing a rhythm and understanding each other. If we can create goals we can start to see patterns of play we like to do and hopefully we can carry those in the regular season again."
On training during the break
"I think over the past couple of weeks it's just been about getting bodies back. For a while there we were pretty thin, and now it's about getting everyone back, veteran guys, healthy and training hard again because we have trained well the last couple of weeks and I think it's showing in games.
Chicago Fire forward Quincy Amarikwa
On coming back in the second half to get the result
"We just battled. Unfortunately, we let them score two unanswered [goals]. After we came in at halftime, we said we wanted to come out on front foot, but we dug in. Juan [Luis Anangono] came off the bench and really made an impact on the game, he helped us tie it up and the rest is history."
On Columbus' play in the second half:
"When you're the team on the road and down a goal at halftime, you don't have anything to lose. So, you kind of throw everything but the kitchen sink at the home team, and that second goal kind of just fell their way. I don't think there's any kind of defensive error from thinking about it. I'd have to go back and look at the tape, he just happened to be at the right place at the right time and took advantage of it and they capitalized."
Columbus Crew Head Coach Gregg Berhalter
On the match:
"I thought it was a good game. We put a different system into play and the guys knew about it at the last moment. We wanted to try something. We got a lot out of that exercise. I'm proud of the way they adapted to the system, and proud of the way they played the game. Specifically, the second half, where I thought we were extremely dominant."
On rallying his team at half time:
"We weren't confident in our movement in terms of how we were executing what we designed. The message was positive. All things considered, it's a good job. Now here's what we can do to make it even better. The guys did that, especially in the second half. They played really well."
On Arrieta's goal:
"It was a great goal. Great move. Good finish. It was good. We need Jairo to score those goals. He had some other chances as well and we want him to be dangerous."
On the team's defensive 5-man posture tonight:
"It was good. We honestly gave them this today. So having said that, I think they did a great job. It was something where we felt we wanted to take a look at. We thought we could expose some things of theirs and take advantage of an organized back line."
On Chicago's equalizer late in the second half:
"If I take anything from the game, I'm most disappointed with that. I think that when you are at that stage of the game, you got to be disciplined enough to carry it out. And I would say it's a little bit of the guys who haven't been getting enough minutes. They weren't comfortable in that position. Chicago is putting more pressure on us, and we just needed to be brave and keep playing. I thought we stopped doing that. As a result, we got punished."
Columbus Crew Midfielder Bernardo Anor
On the match:
"It was a crazy game. I think we had the opportunity to close down the match. We started to lose 1-0, and then we went up 2-1, and then 7 minutes left we let them tie the game which leads us to overtime. Then we give up two goals. That killed the game so we should have done better towards the end of the game."
On coming back to take the lead in the second half:
"A lot of new guys on the field. For all of us, we need to hold ourselves accountable to do whatever it takes to get a 'w' and I think the performance for most of the guys was pretty impressive. We were trying out a new system and it's the first time we did such a thing. Some of the things we did out there we are forced to take home and assess them, and get better at them."
On his goal scored in the 70th minute:
"Speas was coming in with his right foot and I was just making the run to play me through and I decided to shoot the goal. I gathered the rebound and saw it was wide open and got it with my left foot."
On his thoughts on the new system:
"It's a transition game, pretty much. Having five in the back, we knew that Chicago was going to have one of the guys come in pretty deep and have the ball so one of the purposes for one of the 3 center backs to release his man and come help us in the middle. So by the time we win the ball, we got to push all the backs forward and get numbers up. I think we're going to do a better job in doing that. Again, it's the first time but I think working on it we can pull it off."
On returning to playing FC Dallas on Saturday in league play:
"We don't like losing of course, but I think the positive thing is we will be 100% in getting those 3 points against Dallas. We need to focus on that so now our priority is to get good rest and our mind ready for the game."
Select shots from the Fire's win over the Crew.
If the experience around last week's 2-1 weather-shortened victory over Pittsburgh felt familiar, that's only because it was.
The game was just over a year on from a Fire Open Cup match vs. the Columbus Crew that never got off the ground on the original June 12 date as sever thunderstorms crashed in on Chicagoland throughout that night.
Instead the game was rescheduled for a noon kickoff the following day, with the Fire giving FREE entry to all fans that could make it Toyota Park for the match.
Take a trip down memory lane with highlights from that game:
Good news! Wednesday's kickoff forecast is perfect soccer weather: partly cloudy, with a temperature of 65 degrees and only 10% precipitation.

Sandy Alderson makes another joke about the outfield
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
This past weekend at the BBWAA Awards dinner in New York City, Sandy Alderson made this joke about Manti Te'o and his outfield:
"A message to Mets fans: There's been a lot of talk about our outfield, and I want you to know that I'm in serious discussions with several outfielders I met on the internet. … There's one I really like. He says he played at Stanford."
I get the joke. It's well written and said in good fun, I'm sure. But, as someone who takes this stuff seriously, I think it's in poor taste.
I realize he was speaking to a room full of media, not fans. But, there were cameras, and reporters, so it's not like this wasn't going to be made public. I mean, within seconds, every New York reporter tweeted the joke. They clearly couldn't wait to get it up online.
Maybe I should lighten up, because sports isn't the most important thing in the world and I should probably have a better sense of humor about this. But, Mets fans spend hard-earned money on tickets, we spend valuable time watching games on TV, and I just don't think the GM should be joking about the product… or, at the very least, joking about his effort to improve the product.
Alderson knows how weak his outfield is, because (in addition to this joke) that's exactly how he characterized it during his interview with WFAN's Mike Francesa last week. He also told Francesa that he expects to make an acquisition or two before Spring Training…. which starts in less than a month.
The buzz from Citi Field is that Scott Hairston is not going to sign some place until he can be sure of his playing time, meaning he's waiting to see what other moves the Yankees or Mets make since neither team is yet willing to give him a two-year deal.
"If one or two things might happen, that might affect his playing time," Alderson said, in regards to Hairston's hesitation to ink a deal The Mets are looking at other options, Alderson explained, but said the chances of that happening are "50-50."
In other words, Hairston is holding back to see if those moves happen and might impact his playing time.
What moves? It's a total guess, but (because it's mostly platoon players left on the free agent market) I assume they're referring to either Michael Bourn or a possible trade or two.
Alderson did a good job in locking in David Wright and dealing R.A. Dickey. But, when it comes to even marginally improving this team's short-term power and offense, this winter has been a total failure. Of course, technically, there is still time. I have low expectations, but I'm still hoping and waiting for something to happen… because I just can't believe a professional sports team in New York will allow itself to field such an incomplete team. However, if they do, even if it's for the betterment of a wise, long-term plan, the least they can do is not joke about it…
By the way, to see video of R.A. Dickey accepting his 2012 Cy Young Award at the BBWAA Awards dinner, watch this video on MLB.com.

The inPulse Smartwatch has been a much anticipated product for quite some time. There are a number of different colors and styles, and each model will be differently priced. You can expect to pay anywhere from $150 to $200 for the different models of inPulse Smartwatch.
The watch will connect you with others by allowing you to send text messages, craft emails and even make incoming calls right on your watch. This will be great for users that want to stay connected but don't want to look rude by pulling their phone out.
The devices will also have calendar events, and will function as a wrist-based planner as much as it is a smart device. There are already several apps that are available, including iTunes, which will allow you to play music directly through the watch. Another app that is already available is Presenter, which allows you to check out presentations on your phone. The service is actually connected directly with unlocked BlackBerry phones, and will use the service that you receive for your BlackBerry device.
The inPulse app has been highly anticipated by mobile users. The idea of being able to perform smart phone functions from a watch on your wrist is certainly interesting to say the least, and could come in handy for situations where phone use is not appropriate. Could these be the start of other accessory devices that connect you directly to the service that you receive on your phone?
These will serve as the first generation of watch-based devices, and should pave the way for future generations. Because they have received so much attention already, you can bet that they will be looking to expand their features and options moving forward. The convenience provided by inPulse Smartwatches is something that any businessman on the go should be interested in.
PureMobile carries wide range cell phone accessories and unlocked BlackBerry Phone such as BlackBerry Bold 9780 unlocked, Blackberry Torch 9800, BlackBerry Curve 8520, etc..

Eastern Jews esteemed Me'am Lo'ez as a major classic, affording it the same status as the Talmud and Mishnah. Reading it each day was a religious duty; it was a highly popular text for synagogue classes held each evening.
Many count Me'am Lo'ez among the best commentaries ever written on the Bible - in any language. The book is a veritable enclyclopedia of Jewish knowledge.
In 1967, Moznaim (Vagshal) put out a Hebrew translation, Yalkut Me'am Lo'ez, and it proved to be one of the most popular Hebrew books ever published. Close to a quater million have already been sold.

Dont expect the signs indicating that Thompson Park is closed from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. to change any time soon.
And City Manager Sharon A. Addison has decided not to protest a City Court judges decision to throw out a driving while intoxicated charge against a Carthage man because the park signs are allegedly too vague about whether motorists are allowed to drive through the park during those hours.
Why would we use city money to pursue it? Ms. Addison asked.
The mans attorney, Anthony M. Neddo, argued that signs leading into Thompson Park are vague about the times it is open.
After discussing the issue for about 30 minutes on Tuesday night, the City Council took no action on making any changes to the park signs. Council members also informally agreed to keep the roads open to traffic during those hours.
In arguing to keep the status quo, Councilwoman Roxanne M. Burns asked how the city could close the roads when Watertown Golf Club members are allowed to use them during off-hours. She also noted that John T. Wright, executive director of the New York State Zoo at Thompson Park, lives there with his family.
She said she wondered how police could adequately enforce a ban, especially since all motorists would have to do is tell the officer they were at the golf club.
According to city ordinance, golf club employees, members and their guests are allowed in the park after hours. As part of their regular duties, police officers periodically patrol the park after hours, mainly to see if anyone is causing trouble.
Eugene P. Hayes, superintendent of the citys Department of Public Works, presented what the new signs costing about $700 apiece and measuring 30 inches high and 60 inches wide would look like if they were used at the park entrances. The judge required placing two of them at each of the three park entrances.
As soon as he heard the $4,200 cost, Councilman Joseph M. Butler Jr. said it didnt make sense to spend that kind of money.
The matter came up after part-time Watertown City Judge Catherine J. Palermo dismissed the case last month against James J. Cheal, 45, of 3614 Roberts Road, Carthage.
Police stopped Mr. Cheal when he drove into the park at the Franklin Street entrance about midnight Nov. 30. Police then determined that Mr. Cheals blood alcohol content was 0.20 percent, and he was charged with aggravated DWI. The state threshold for intoxicated driving is 0.08 percent BAC; for aggravated DWI, it is 0.18 percent.
On Sept. 20, Judge Palermo dismissed a violation ticket issued to Mr. Cheal for being in the city-owned park after hours, contending that the signs are traffic-control devices and do not adequately notify motorists that they are not permitted to enter Thompson Park after 9 p.m. With the park ticket dismissed, any evidence that was gathered during the improper stop had to be suppressed, and the DWI charge was dismissed.
It was not clear on Tuesday night whether the Jefferson County District Attorneys Office will file an appeal.

If you or someone you love is morbidly obese, you already know how damaging
it can be. Excess weight can impact your health, self-esteem, and relationships.
People who suffer with morbid obesity are faced with a shorter life expectancy
and are at a much higher risk for other diseases such as high blood pressure,
heart problems, diabetes, and sleep apnea. The true measure of the operation's
success is achieving a greater quality of life by improving and eliminating
these conditions.
Diet and exercise fail 95% of the time when a person is 75 to 100 pounds
over their ideal body weight. Bariatric weight loss surgery may be the
next step for people who remain severely obese after trying nonsurgical
approaches, or for people who have an obesity-related disease. We specialize
in providing the gold standard of health care by performing the Roux-en-Y
Gastric Bypass, Lap Band, Gastric Sleeve, and Duodenal Switch procedures.

At Covenant Health, our commitment is to offer care and treatment for our
patients before, during, and after surgery.

and to assist you in determining if you are a candidate for weight loss surgery.

Toronto Brewery's Annual Golf Tournament Raises $32,000 for Sick Kids Hospital
On August 28th, I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Molson Coors Toronto Brewery annual golf tournament. As always, I love to volunteer at brewery events to see familiar faces and meet so many other great Molson Coors employees. While I was over at the Molson Coors Pub, I gave plant workers a demonstration of how to use Yammer – a tool we're using globally to help employees communicate about all things Molson Coors. The response was awesome, it's great to see how enthusiastic 1 Carlingview is to "join the conversation."
The purpose behind the tournament was two-fold: to get employees together and to raise money for the Sick Kids Hospital…and they did just that, by successfully raising a whopping $32,000 and approximately $4,000 from raffle tickets!
The day began with a quick BBQ at the Molson Coors Pub and then all the golfers headed over to the Woodbine Golf Course. Briefly before teeing off, the cheque for the Sick Kids Hospital was presented by Brewery Manager Benoit Maillette, Social Club Committee President John Medeiros, and Brewery Site Service Manager Dave Kennedy to Lee Nichols who joined the tournament on behalf of Sick Kids Hospital. The day ended back at the Molson Coors Pub, where there was live entertainment and another BBQ.
Last year, the Toronto Brewery Golf Tournament raised just under $14,000 for Sick Kids within two weeks time. This year's tournament included several more meetings and time to raise even more money for the cause.
"The 2010 Toronto Brewery Golf Tournament was a huge success for a worthy cause. Hopefully we can continue to host these fundraisers and raise more money each year." said John Medeiros, President of the Social Club Committee.
Cheers to the Social Club Committee for doing such an awesome job with the tourney!

Undergraduate Studies
The UAF Anthropology Department is committed to scholarship and research in anthropology with a general geographic focus on the circumpolar regions of the north, as well as research and instruction covering a variety of other world areas and topical subjects. The teaching and research activities in the department cover the four sub-fields of the discipline: archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistic and social/cultural anthropology. The undergraduate program aims to give students a solid introduction to the discipline, with the opportunity to concentrate study in one or more of the four sub-fields, and to gain research experience and training in the field and in the laboratory. We highly encourage students to participate in the University Honor's Program. We strongly advise eligible students to engage in a Capstone Research Project, which encourages intellectual independence and creativity and, as appropriate, to introduce the student to proper research methods in preparation for graduate and/or professional work.
All students are required to take 200-level core courses in three out of the four sub-disciplines, as well as a 300-level course in the History of Anthropological theory. Overall synthesis for the program is accomplished in a 400-level senior seminar that brings the four sub-fields to bear on a particular research topic (migration, human environment relationships, etc.). Additional degree requirements vary relative to the program of study: BA or BS. Please note that if you opt for a BA degree, you must also complete a minor. A minor is strongly encouraged for BS students as well.
Society of the Raven
Society of the Raven is a social group that meets weekly (Tuesdays at 1 in 402) for undergraduate majors and anyone interested in anthropology!

Have been taking this product for several years ... now I cannot find it anywhere ... on line or in the stores. When will this product be available? I am down to 12 tablets and need ASAP!!!
My period has been pretty easy going most of my life, though in the past few years (late 20-early 30s) I have had heavier flow, backpain, headaches, irritability, and extreme fatigue. My mom, an RN, has been telling me to take Lydia Pinkham for as long as I've been complaining. She finally just bought me a bottle and made me take it. It made it sooo much better! Every month it seemed like my period got a lil easier when I would take it. Then my mom told me I should take it every day and that when it would come on, it wouldn't give any trouble at all. When I finally listened and started taking it daily, I found that my period lasts shorter and is much easier than before. This is a true lifesaver. Make sure you take it daily!
My mother SWEARS by this product and used it for over 40 years! She recommended it to me and my sisters over 25 years ago. I was Amazed to see that it was still available! I have been taking it for a month now has I've noticed a significant reduction in my premenstrual symptoms!!!! I HIGHLY recommend this to ALL women!
After 7 years of "bad luck" I mean hot flashes, I have finally found a product that does deliver. I am thrilled. It took about 4 weeks of taking the product, but then the hot flashes just stopped! Thanks for a great product.
I have been taking this for quite a while now, at first it took about 3 weeks to really help with hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, but it is a real life saver for me.............

Price officials authorized awarding the bid for conducting a feasibility study on constructing a new fire station at the last council meeting, However, the officials did not rule out the option of expanding the city's existing facility.
Introducing the matter on Sept. 24, Chief Paul Bedont indicated that the city's existing building lacks the space to adequately house fire department and hazardous materials team equipment.
The fire chief pointed out that Price previously budgeted $36,000 to complete the feasibility study and encouraged the council to approve proceeding with the initial stage in determining an efficient, cost-effective approach to remedy the deficiencies at the current facility.
Funding from the Utah Permanent Community Impact Board accounted for one-half of the revenues budgeted by the city to finance the study.
Basically, fire departments fall under three staffing categories - all volunteer, all paid and a combination of the two, explained Bedont.
Needs vary depending upon the type of department a public entity operates. Price presently encompasses approximately one-half of Carbon's total population.
In order to accommodate future growth while maintaining quality services and protecting the community, the city's combination fire department will require an expanded, updated facility.
"Local growth is an aspect to be considered," advised the fire chief.
The Price City Fire Department currently responds to 78 percent of the emergency calls dispatched county-wide, noted Mayor Joe Piccolo.
Breaking down the total number of responses to public safety dispatch center broadcasts, the fire chief estimated that 66 percent of the calls the department handles involve medical emergencies.
The emergency situations in question occur not only within Price city's boundaries, but at adjacent locations in Carbon County, pointed out the fire chief.
According to Bedont, the three steps involved in constructing a fire station include:
â¢The feasibility study phase of the development project.
â¢The architectural design phase of the project.
â¢The construction phase of the project.
Feasibility studies traditionally focus on identifying an individual fire department's needs, exploring alternative options and evaluating potential locations for the building, explained Bedont.
However, the expense involved in constructing a new station in Price may warrant evaluating the option of expanding the city's existing facility, added the fire chief.
The fire department has received bids on the study from two companies "well represented" at a recent fire station design seminar, continued Bedont.
The companies submitting proposals on the feasibility study have built at least 30 fire stations nationwide, primarily in the Western United States.
Responding to a suggestion from Councilmember Jeanne McEvoy, the fire chief indicated that he supported incorporating recommendations for reducing waste, cutting energy and improving efficiency at the station into the feasibility study.
"But everything comes with a cost," indicated Bedont. "Fire stations are expensive to build. But realistically, Price needs a new one."
The longevity of the current fire department building should be an additional 15 to 20 years, pointed out Councilmember Richard Tatton.
By comparison, Tatton indicated that the longevity of a new fire station would probably range between 40 and 50 plus years.
"I don't believe the current building has exceeded its life, yet. The city will not tear it down," commented Piccolo.
Following the discussion, the council passed a motion authorizing a committee comprised of the mayor, the fire chief and Price city's financial officer to award the bid on the fire station feasibility study.
