|Men's Basketball Inks Two in Early Signing Period
|Written by Charles Cochrum
|Thursday, 11 November 2010 20:55
With the start of the 2010-11 season beginning today, Appalachian State University men's basketball received commitments from two players to enroll as freshmen in Fall 2011.Tabarris Hamilton (Winston-Salem, N.C./Fishburne Military School) and Michael Neal (Greensboro, N.C./Oak Ridge Military Academy) signed National Letters of Intent on Wednesday, ASU head coach Jason Capel announced.
"We are very excited about the two young men that we've been able to sign," said Capel. "They come from great families and represent Appalachian State and what we are building here. They are solid student-athletes and young men with high character. Both are going to come in and bring a lot of attributes that will be welcome additions to the program. More importantly, they are great kids and talented basketball players, and they will contribute to the overall fabric of what we're building."
Tabarris Hamilton • 6-3 • 180 • Guard
"Tabarris Hamilton is a high-character kid that works really hard on the court and has a natural scoring ability," commented Capel. "He can get up and down the floor and has the potential to be a very good defender as well. Both of our recruits come from strong basketball programs where they have been taught to play the right way."
Michael Neal • 6-2 • 185 • Guard
"Michael Neal is someone that we have recruited for some time and he is one of the most high-character kids you could bring to represent the university," Capel said. "He is a combo guard, a very talented scorer and a lockdown defender. He is a guy that really fits what we're trying to build here in our basketball program."
The pair joins sophomore transfers Brian Okam (Enugu, Nigeria/Rutgers) and G.J. Vilarino (McKinney, Texas/Gonzaga) in the 2011-12 class for Appalachian. Both Okam and Vilarino are enrolled at ASU this year but must sit out the season in accordance with NCAA transfer rules. The Mountaineers tip off the 2010-11 campaign on Friday at Tulsa in an 8 p.m. EST contest.

The nationwide decline in new vehicle sales has been widely reported. Many Americans are looking to used vehicle dealers.
According to CNW Market Research, consumers will purchase 40 million used vehicles by the end of the year, with March sales up 4.2 percent among franchised and 1.1 percent among independent dealers.
"A used car can deliver thousands of trouble-free miles if you're willing to put in the effort to make sure it's a good buy," said Rolayne Fairclough, AAA Utah spokesperson.
AAA offers Carbon County residents several steps to consider when buying used vehicles. The group encourages local consumers to:
â¢Decide what kind and size of vehicle they need.
When considering fuel economy, consumers should keep in mind that prices have fluctuated in the past year and likely will not remain at current levels throughout the ownership of the vehicle.
â¢Talk to owners of similar vehicles.
Most owners will share experiences about vehicles, including maintenance, major as well as minor problems and gas mileage.
Many online forums are dedicated to specific makes and models and can be a good resource for owner feedback.
â¢Determine what they can afford and secure financing in advance.
Due to the financial crunch, many dealers are having difficulty providing financing for buyers even if the consumers are well qualified.
People should research financing options in advance.
â¢Get an estimate of current pricing.
Consumers should check the used vehicle ads in the classified section of local newspapers, used vehicle advertising specialty publications and online services such as Kelley Blue Book.
The listings will give shoppers some ideas of current retail prices.
New vehicle dealerships are another good place to compare prices on used vehicles, but remember dealer prices are usually higher than those in classified ads.
â¢Determine if they want to purchase a vehicle from a private owner or a dealer.
While consumers might be able to negotiate a lower price from a private owner, the vehicle usually does not come with a guarantee that many dealers offer.
If buying from a dealer, people read the entire contract carefully, correct all problems before the purchase and keep a copy of the contract.
In a private sale, people check that the seller is, in fact, the registered owner of the vehicle.
Consumers should make sure they get the vehicle's title and a bill of sale.
â¢Get a CARFAX vehicle history report. Reports can reveal hidden problems such as involvement in a major accident, flood or fire damage or odometer fraud .
The reports can also alert consumers that a vehicle was previously used as a rental, taxi or in a fleet.
â¢Always take a road test. Consumers should check how the vehicle handles at highway speeds and in stop-and go traffic.
â¢Have a mechanic check the vehicle. People may have to pay a fee for the inspection, but it's worth the money to catch looming mechanical problems in advance.
â¢Shop around.
Consumers should never be so enamored with a particular model that good judgment falls by the wayside.

Derek Boogaard Memorial
Derek Boogaard, DTBL friend and supporter, will be sadly missed. His legend lives on with "Boogaard's Boogaardian's". Derek and DTBL started "Boogaard's Boogaardian's" to send military children to hockey camp shortly after DTBL was formed. Derek loved working with the military children. Upon Derek's death, the Boogaard family asked that all memorials go to Defending The Blue Line for "Boogaard's Boogaardian's". To this day, the memorials continue to come in memory of him. Recently, the family of Derek Boogaard donated 150 tickets to Defending The Blue Line for the Minnesota Wild's tribute night on Sunday, November 27th, 2011. On that same night the MN Wild and the Boogaard Family made a large donation to DTBL.

Mobile phone maker Nokia announced this week that it plans to restructure. Nokia is trying to stay in business with job cuts, sale of its Vertu luxury product line and reorganization at the top of the company. With $1.7 billion lost in the first three months of this year and a $1.2 billion in 4Q 2011, the company is on a sad slide.
The 10,000 job cuts add to last year's workforce reduction of 14,000 employees. This year Nokia will shut down research and development facilities in Ulm, Germany, and Burnaby, Canada, and a manufacturing facility in Salo, Finland. It also plans to shuffle senior leadership and acquire Swedish software firm Scalado AB.
Nokia's latest strategy shows an increasing reliance on the potential for success with Windows Phone. The Scalado AB is a mobile image company. Its acquisition should strengthen Nokia's Windows Phone service portfolio for the Nokia Lumia 900, and the remaining Lumia line of busienss. In the press release announcing the restructuring, Nokia said it acquired Scalado AB to beef up its "imaging experience" for its line of Lumia devices.
Nokia said making the cuts and the restructuring will cost it about $1.2 billion but will reduce costs by about $2 billion by next year. It also lowered second-quarter earnings expectations.

I have recently replaced a 20year old diesel car with a newer one with the same engine size. The new one is quoted at 125gCO2/km and has much less tax than the old one. However, the new one burns a gallon of diesel in 45 miles, the old one went for 55miles on the same volume. How can the new one produce less CO2? I also have a small engined turbo charged Renault with quoted urban cycle economy of 52mpg. This seems to be down the lines of the move to small but high performing engines mentioned in the article. However carefully and smoothly I abide by fuel conservation measures I can't get better than about 40mpg from this vehicle. It seems to burn large amounts of fuel when warming up and hills seem to burn fuel more heavily than in previous vehicles. Where do Renault get their figures from? The fact that its performance still bears comparison with vehicles I owned 35 years ago says we are a long way from the claims in the article.
There are also other inconsistencies. Both my newer cars have low profile wider tyres and have tyre wear rates worse than any previously owned vehicles. They also both make hugely larger amounts of road noise. These are both indications of more energy being wasted - not less, not to mention the greater amount of particulate generation from the lost tyre rubber. Particularly the diesel car I own weighs a more than the previous one even if the interior is smaller. Once agin this is going to decrease the efficiency of the modern vehicle.
Just what is going on?
23 January 2013 11:08 PM
Manufacturers' MPG figures are determined in standard tests, and it would be an unusual manufacturer who didn't at least bear those test conditions in mind when optimising engine performance curves, gear ratios and the like.
I have the opposite problem - my car is classified as 124g/km, but I achieve somewhere in the region of 109g/km by driving sensibly but normally. CO2 emissions are linearly related to fuel consumption, of course. So I pay £90 or so more tax each year than I should, in my opinion.
The car I refer to above is a supermini with a 1.3l petrol engine. It replaced a large family hatchback with an only slightly underpowered 1.6l petrol engine (it had no power steering, catalytic converter or aircon to hold back what power there was). I would get 40-45mpg in the older car, I now get 50-55mpg, surprisingly little difference. Older cars had far less weight - we pay a price for the various safety and comfort features we now expect as standard. Safety features refer both to an increase in shell rigidity around the cabin, and to airbags, pretensioners and the like.
You are spot on about the tyres as well. I deliberately bought the bottom of the range version of my car, it has ordinary non low-profile tyres. I know someone who has stripped out almost everything from his Vectra 2 litre petrol, including the door cards, rear seats, and sound-proofing foam. He claims to now get over 50mpg simply because his car is so light.
24 January 2013 11:52 AM
I believe figures are trustworthy, but are utterly dependent on the way it's driven (as we all know). I have a ten year old diesel TDCI ford Focus with 170k miles on the clock, and can regularly get 25% better average MPG than the manufacturers figures. Last 50L tankful gave me 850 miles before I filled it up again.
The fact that as a concerned engineer, I nowadays drive like a slug on ice has an awful lot to do with that.
Driving for ultimate economy is the only real bit of "competition" left on the road since student boy-racer days are over and guaranteed to cost a lot or land a fine anyhow. I particularly enjoy the smug ultra-slow acceleration, and gliding down to roundabouts from half a mile out, while those behind rant and rage between accelerator and brake.
Expensive & well inflated "Eco" tyres are WELL worth the money. - Any cyclist will tell you the significant effect that tyres can have, yet with many drivers cocooned from the grunt and feeling of their own tyre resistance it's all too easy to take the cheapo option at the local tyre shop.
There are two things which irritate me about the industry. Firstly, there have been vehicles about for over 60 years capable of 50MPG or more (take Citroen 2CV). It doesn't seem like we have come a very long way in the intervening time, Especially since catastrophic climate change problems are bearing down on civilization.
Secondly, the majority of industry hype still revolves round power and acceleration performance. I know that some manufacturers are beginning (sensibly) to "downsize" engines, but IMO nowhere near enough. Who in the UK really needs 120 PS? I want a diesel family estate with half this power (or less) and 50% better economy. I have a hard enough time as it is keeping the speed and acceleration and breaking DOWN to reduce emissions and to avoid speeding tickets. Sensible cars still just don't exist
25 January 2013 03:38 PM
It also irritates me that the distance between the official figures and real world driving is growing. Take a look at that list of cars at the end of the article (between 75 and 90mpg). Some of those are worse offenders than others but I know for sure that the TwinAir engine (as characterful as it is) gets nowhere near it's official figures.
One of the main ways in which the manufacturers can "optimise" their figures is with the now more common automatic / automated manual (e.g. DCT/DSG) gearboxes. The tests feature certain speeds and with a manual box a certain gear but with an auto the ECU can be programmed to pull a higher gear than you would in real use to get the best possible figure.
For me though these targets are there to protect the environment and yet we have conflicting schemes such as the car scrappage scheme. This effectively promoted a very environmentally unfriendly act of disposing of a perfectly good car that already exists and replacing it with a brand new one. The emissions from the tail pipe are only one part of the problem, an awful lot is emitted in creating and shipping new vehicles so keeping existing vehicles on the road should be encouraged.

Lipscomb (35-20)
Knnesaw State (32-23)
5/11/2012 | Spartanburg, S.C. | Attendance: 106

Friday, May 11, 2012
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Lipscomb Lady Bisons softball team has dealt with a lot of obstacles this season, but they didn't come up with a way to overcome a seven-run inning by Kennesaw State in the loser's bracket of the Atlantic Sun Tournament.
Friday afternoon here at sun-splashed Cyrill Stadium the Lady Bisons fell 9-2 to Kennesaw State, their second loss in the double-elimination tournament.
Lipscomb coach Kristin Ryman knows that the road was seldom smooth for her team which finished with a 35-20 record.
"I feel like the improvements have been tremendous over the last six years," Ryman said. "This year we kind of started behind the eight-ball with pitching depth and with depth on the team overall.
"I thought our girls fought all year long. Honestly, we battled through some injuries that maybe in a normal year those players involved might have been out of practice longer or might not have played some games. They just battled through their injuries because they knew we had to have them."
The Lady Bisons opened the game with a first inning solo home run to left field by Kelsey Cartwright. Kennesaw State answered with two runs in the bottom of the first.
The Lady Bisons tied the game in the fourth when Cartwright slammed the first pitch of the inning over the center field fence for her second homer.
But Kennesaw State capitalized on three hits, two errors and four walks for seven runs in the bottom of the fourth to take complete control of the game with seven runs.
Ryman would have liked a better outcome,but she liked what she saw from her team on and off of the field.
"I've been impressed with the character of this team and how they continued to fight through things and represented us the way we wanted to be represented," Ryman said. "We could have packed it in after we lost the first game on Wednesday to Jacksonville, but we came out fighting Thursday and beat a good USC Upstate team. We ran into a big Kennesaw State team and had some things that didn't bounce our way."
Whitney Kiihnl threw her last game for the Lady Bisons. She allowed eight hits and nine runs, only two of them earned, in 3.2 innings. She struck out three and walked five. Ashley Anderson closed out the game, pitching 2.1 innings. She gave up three hits and walked one.
Amanda Henderson went the distance for Kennesaw State, scattering five hits, walking two and striking out three.
Catcher Mollie Mitchell also completed her college career, ending with one hit. Right fielder Caroline Mason will also not return next season.
"Whitney, Mollie and Caroline have all three meant a tremendous amount to our program, and not just from a numbers standpoint," Ryman said. "Obviously, they have put up some of the best careers of anybody who has ever played here.
"But it is what they have meant overall to our program. It is the type of people that they are and what they stand for. They are going to be missed."
The senior class next season will consist of center fielder Bree Thurman, who had a double to right center against Kennesaw State; Cartwright and Vanessa Medina who missed the season due to an injury.
"Hopefully, we have people ready to step into the shoes of this year's seniors and be the leaders we need," Ryman said.
Medina has been hampered by injuries the past couple of seasons, but she can be a force at the plate.
"Vanessa is a good hitter," Ryman said. "We anticipated her being in our line-up quite a bit before she got hurt. She will definitely be a threat to be in the line-up again.
Thurman will continue to hold down the center field position, but Ryman would like to see her retake the lead-off spot in the batting order.
"Bree held down the fort in center," Ryman said. "But we are going to look for her to transition a little bit.
"She has so much ability hitting-wise. She swings the bat really well, She has to cut down on the strikeouts and that is something she knows."
Cartwright, a transfer from Auburn this season, quickly fit in with the Lady Bisons. She finished the season with 18 home runs, a new Lipscomb single-season record.
"Everybody is going to know about Kelsey now," Ryman said. "They are going to game plan a little better for her.
"She has so much ability. She is going to continue to be a key power hitter in our line-up next year."
The Lady Bisons also said good-bye to graduate assistant coach Heather Collins, a former Lipscomb player who has worked with the team the past two years.
"We are going to miss her familiarity with the program," Ryman said. "She has been a big piece of what we have done the last two years."

Chicago Fire midfielder Egidio Arevalo Rios has been named as part of Uruguay's provision 29-man roster for La Celeste's crucial final CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers next month at Ecuador (October 11) and vs. Argentina (October 15).
While not officially called up, Rios has been a constant fixture in the midfield for Uruguay during qualifying and seems very likely to be part of the final squad set to be named next week.
If that is the case, he would miss the Fire's away match at FC Dallas on October 12.
Earlier this month, Rios missed the Fire's 2-1 loss at Seattle (September 7) and 1-1 draw at Toronto (September 11), as Uruguay earned six crucial points with a 2-1 away win at Peru and 2-0 home win over Colombia.
Uruguay sit in CONMEBOL's fifth spot, which if qualifying ended today would see them take on Jordan in a two-match intercontinental playoff for a place in next summer's FIFA World Cup.
There is huge opportunity for the side to control their own destiny for one of CONMEBOL's four automatic places as they sit tied on points with Ecuador (6-4-4; 22pts) ahead of their clash on October 11 in Quito.
The World Champion, Judah Friedlander tells the story of the champion of third to last picked, Richard Jata.
Last October we noticed a spike in people tweeting at us. Most of the tweets included the keywords "hot guys", "OMG", and "love the show"
Obviously all of these people have mistakenly tweeted at @ChicagoFire when they were tweeting about the Dick Wolf television drama @NBCChicagoFire.
We felt that we would be remiss if we didn't take the time to highlight and respond to some of the best tweets.
Oh hello boys of @ChicagoFire

The Fire's dip back below the red line on Saturday night was one of two moves in the Eastern Conference playoff race. With just over a month to play, certain teams are circling in on a playoff berth while others are battling for position.
The latest edition of Playoff Math awaits you below:
1) New York Red Bulls
Current Points: 51 (15-9-6)
Games Remaining: 4 (2 home / 2 away)
Last 5 Games: WWWWL (12pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 10-2-3 / 5-7-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 43.0
Remaining Schedule: 9/29 @ SEA, 10/5 vs. NE, 10/20 @ HOU, 10/27 vs. CHI
Rundown: New York watched Montreal lose and Sporting KC win on Saturday, knowing a home game against FC Dallas awaited the following day. It wasn't a great match but New York utilized a 76th minute own goal from Erick to earn another home result and somewhat quietly move into first place in the Supporters Shield race in the process.
The Red Bulls continue to benefit from the two teams chasing them having Champions League matches but a top of the conference clash awaits them Sunday night when they visit Seattle in a match that could go a long way to decide the first silverware of the season.
A New York win or tie Sunday combined with Fire and Philadelphia Union losses would see the Red Bulls become the first team to qualify for the postseason.
2) Sporting KC
Current Points: 48 (14-9-6)
Games Remaining: 5 (2 home / 3 away)
Last 5: WWWLL (9pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 8-4-3 / 6-5-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 34.8
Remaining Schedule: 9/27 vs. PHI, 10/5 @ CLB, 10/9 at HOU, 10/18 vs. D.C., 10/23 vs. OLI**, 10/26 @ PHI
Rundown: Despite a scare, Sporting earned a point against Real Esteli in Champions League play at midweek and will just need another draw vs. Olimpia to guarantee final passage. In MLS play, they fought hard for a 2-1 win at Toronto took benefit of Montreal's defeat to Vancouver to move into sole possession of second place in the East.
Sporting holds a game in hand over Red Bull but faces three matches against teams fighting for their playoff fate over the next two and a half weeks. Though their remaining schedule is easiest in the East, it will be a battle to stay in second and potentially push for the top spot.
3) Montreal Impact
Current Points: 45 (13-9-6)
Games Remaining: 6 (2 home/ 4 away)
Last 5 Games: LLWDW (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-3-3 / 4-6-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 63
Average Opponents Pts: 38.2
Remaining Schedule: 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: So what's going on with Montreal? Their 3-0 loss to Vancouver marked their third straight across all competitions and second straight at home in MLS. Like their performances this season, the Impact have a mixed bag through the end of the year. On one hand they hold two games in hand over New York and one over Sporting but face a crucial Champions League match against Heredia on Tuesday night ahead of Saturday's game vs. the Fire.
Montreal still has a shot in the Champions League but not a great one… Will they turn their complete focus on the Fire and playoff race or try to double-dip this week?
4) Houston Dynamo
Current Points: 43 (12-10-7)
Games Remaining: 5 (3 home / 2 away)
Last 5 Games: WWLDL (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 8-3-3 / 4-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 58
Average Opponents Pts: 39.8
Remaining Schedule: 9/25 vs. WC**, 9/28 @ NE, 10/4 vs. MTL, 10/9 vs. SKC, 10/20 vs. NY, 10/24 @ AU**, 10/27 @ D.C.
Rundown: After going on an end of summer slump, Houston has run off two straight wins the past two weeks to move firmly into fourth place in the East. They play a crucial Champions League home match Wednesday night vs. W. Connection before opening up a four-game stretch all against teams in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. Three of those four matches are at home so after weathering a pretty difficult storm, its safe to say more than anyone, the Dynamo control their own fate in terms of being able to move up into one of the top three spots.
5) New England Revolution
Current Points: 40 (11-11-7)
Games Remaining: 5 (2 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: WLLDW (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-5-3 / 4-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 55
Average Opponents Pts: 43.0
Remaining Schedule: 9/28 vs. HOU, 10/5 @ NY, 10/12 @ MTL, 10/19 vs. CLB, 10/27 @ CLB
Rundown: One week New England is complaining about an offside goal being called back, the next they're benefiting from it and not saying a peep. This was the case on Diego Fagundez's tying goal in their 2-1 win over D.C. United. By virtue of that victory and the Fire's defeat at Columbus, the two sides traded places in the East race this weekend.
The good news for the Fire is that New England has the toughest remaining schedule in the East, with a huge showdown vs. streaking Houston on the horizon this weekend. Back-to-back trips to New York and Montreal follow that clash and could define the Revs season if they don't manage it the right way.
6) Chicago Fire
Current Points: 39 (11-12-6)
Games Remaining: 5 (2 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: LWDLD (5pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 9-4-2 / 2-7-4
Maximum Possible Pts: 54
Average Opponents Pts: 34.8
Remaining Schedule: 9/28 vs. MTL, 10/4 @ D.C., 10/12 @ FCD, 10/19 vs. TFC, 10/27 @ NY
Rundown: The Fire lost a tough 3-0 result at Columbus on Saturday. It was a game the team went in with the mindset of taking three points and even after going down 1-0, they looked able to do it. Bakary Soumare's red card made that hope near impossible and as the Fire pushed forward they got caught out twice more.
They now welcome a struggling Montreal side to Toyota Park Saturday and should remember the situation they faced the Impact in back in August -- days after a disappointing U.S. Open Cup defeat to D.C. United, the Fire rebounded with a 2-1 win, a game that stands as one of the team's biggest results of the season.
While a 3-0 loss at this point in the season can be discouraging, perspective is important as the Fire remain just one point out of the top five. It is imperative for the team to take their remaining two home matches and find a way to get two results on the road to ensure they won't have to depend on other teams for a postseason berth.
7) Philadelphia Union
Current Points: 39 (10-10-9)
Games Remaining: 5 (2 home / 3 away)
Last 5 Games: LLDLD (2pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 6-4-5 / 4-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 54
Average Opponents Pts: 32.8
Remaining Schedule: 9/27 @ SKC, 10/5 vs. TFC, 10/12 @ D.C., 10/19 @ MTL, 10/26 vs. SKC
Rundown: The Union were idle this past weekend and will hope to have worked out the kinks that have him on the poorest form out of any team in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. Unfortunately for them, they face a huge match Friday night away to a Sporting side that can put themselves on the brink of a postseason berth with a win.
A loss in this match would be devastating to the team's chances but six points from their following two matches vs. Toronto and D.C. would certainly keep them afloat going into the final two weeks of the season.
8) Columbus Crew
Current Points: 35 (11-14-5)
Games Remaining: 4 (2 home / 2 away)
Last 5 Games: WWLWL (9pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 7-5-3 / 4-9-2
Maximum Possible Points: 50
Average Opponents Pts: 42
Remaining Schedule: 9/29 @ FCD, 10/5 vs. SKC, 10/19 @ NE, 10/27 vs. NE
Rundown: The Crew continued their late-season run under interim head man Brian Bliss with a resounding 3-0 win over the Fire on Saturday. There's no doubt that the Crew need help from other teams but their attitude is in the right place to make a late-season run.
Every game is a must-win for the Crew from here on out and they'll shift their focus to a visit to FC Dallas where they haven't won since their MLS Cup championship season in 2008.
It's good to get an idea of why things happened in a game and there's no better match to start with then to break down the events that saw the Fire lose 3-0 at Columbus on Saturday.
I asked Fire assistant coach Leo Percovich to give tactical explanations on three specific instances in the match... Below are his answers.
Jeff Crandall: The team started off the game well, carrying possession before Dominic Oduro's 15th minute goal... What was the game plan to open up the match? How did it change after going down 1-0?
Leo Percovich: We knew the Crew would come with high pressure on us because they were at home desperate to get three points. We opted the first 15 minutes to play long balls from the back, fight to get possession in midfield and from there build our attacking plays.
This high pressure would create spaces behind their lines and we would look to exploit that. We created three chances and earned two corner kicks in the first 12 minutes – a great start for a team playing on the road.
The Crew's first goal was unlucky for us. Two times a rebound came for them, under a bad defensive position from our left side instead of a product of a buildup or good playmaking for Columbus which means our plan was working.
After going down 1-0 we had to keep the same idea and style of play: the whole defensive block was still playing well. Chicago is a team that is characterized by recovery after conceding a goal, the consequence was to keep the style under pressure even with a goal down.
JC: Explain the play the led to Bakary Soumare's sending off... (what went wrong?)
LP: We were attacking from our left side with Dilly Duka who tried to connect a pass to Alex, but Chad Marshall intercepted and cleared away with a lucky ball that caught us off guard.
It deflected off of Jeff Larentowicz's head, and went over Austin Berry who was tight with Jairo Arrieta at the midfield line. Jalil Anibaba was supporting the attack so he couldn't cover the ball and Sean Johnson wasn't far enough up to clear it.
This led to Baky taking the diagonal run and the risk to stop the play, and before Arrieta came into the box, he decided to committed the foul and was sent off.
JC: Talk about the difficulties of playing a man down on the road and what was the thinking behind pushing Larentowicz to center back rather than making a defensive substitution when Soumare exited?
LP: Playing with 10 forced us to stay more compact to fill and close spaces quicker, which demanded an extra effort from every player. The transition needs to be done with more precision because you have only one man as target and the rest of the players need to move forward quick to support him around the ball.
The expulsion came early in the game so we opted to keep the same 10 players, adjust them on a new tactical position and hold to the first half to see how we were doing.
We went from 4-4-2 to 4-4-1 moving Larentowicz from center mid to center back, Alex from right mid to center mid, and Mike Magee from forward to a wide midfielder, leaving just Juan Luis Anangono up top.
Not only did the tactical position need to change but also the attitude and mentality too -- you have to be more focused to attend your man and the space created for your man down.
You still have to believe you are going to find the way to come back and score the goal.
"…In most places in the country, voting is looked upon as a right and a duty, but in Chicago it's a sport." – Dick Gregory
The #cf97ThirdKit polls are officially closed. While we are busy tallying the votes, here's a quick reminder of what will happen next:
- On Saturday, September 28, the Fire will host and recognize the five #cf97ThirdKit finalists at Toyota Park for the game vs. the Montreal Impact.
- On Tuesday, October 8, the Fire and Quaker will unveil the winning design at the Club's anniversary party, as well as on Chicago-Fire.com and the club's social media platforms.
Once the winning design is announced, the Club will work with Quaker and adidas to prepare a prototype for early 2014. After the prototype is reviewed and approved, the actual third kit will go into the adidas production cycle and is scheduled to make its debut for the Fire's Anniversary game in the fall of 2014.
We knew it was too early to get cocky. Although the Fire managed to overcome, at least in a cathartic sort of way, all the season's travails in the dramatic comeback-into-playoff-spot win last week against New England, we knew there were six games left to hold onto, improve upon, or lose playoff position.
At that point, four of the six remaining games were away from Toyota Park, which was a scary prospect for the Fire. Like the rest of MLS, the Fire are much worse away from home, and one couldn't shake the feeling that the Fire would play drug smuggler, in and out of safety every week.
Saturday's thumping in Columbus didn't make fans feel any better, and still, three of the five remaining games are away from Toyota Park. But why are the Fire playing worse away from home? A quick run through the stats:
- Overall record: 11-12-6
- Away record: 2-8-4
- Home record: 9-4-2
- Overall goal differential: -7 (36 for, 43 against)
- Away goal differential: -14 (10 for, 24 against)
- Home goal differential: 7 (26 for, 19 against)
Not sterling, it's true. Goal differential in soccer can be a little overblown as a telling statistic but since it could count in playoff contention it's worth paying attention to. And one thing it shows is that all of MLS is struggling away from home this year. Every team except Kansas City (+1) and Real Salt Lake (0) have road goal differences in the negatives. Seventeen teams are shipping goals away from home!
It's a strange phenomenon in MLS, and seems to go against the general feeling that, with MLS parity so prevalent, there would be less domination, more draws, etc. Not so, at least not anymore. According to some numbers crunched over at SBN, "MLS has become a league were the home team wins about 50 percent of the time and the road team pulls out three points somewhere around 25 percent."
But why? There are a few explanations in other American leagues. Grueling travel in the NBA, noise in the NFL, explicit rule advantages in MLB and the NHL - but those factors aren't so relevant in MLS.
There's the harder to calculate factor of home vs. away referee decisions, or momentum, or what at least one writer calls the "best sports fans in America," which, I mean, great, but even if there was a way to prove that, it would be hard to connect fans' performance with players'.
So let's accept the mystery for a second. Let's chalk it up to some combination of discomfort or unfamiliarity with playing surfaces (hi Revs), climates (hola Houston), atmosphere (ok Seattle, we see you), various travel and hotel-related distractions and fatigue (seems like a cop out but ok), refereeing decisions (impossible to prove), and the elusive, metaphysical effects of momentum.
The thing is that MLS is not alone in home team dominance. England has it too. Maybe the issue has less to do with American this-or-that than soccer itself. I would love to find data showing that home team dominance comes from the non-physical aspects of the game. I think something about the invisible, spontaneous, and rapid morphic connections between teammates (the connections that translate into the action we see) make them occur in a smoother way at "home."
At the very least, it's an apt way to think about the Fire's away form this year, where even after a dominant home game they can leave town and look like they've never played with each other before. Saturday night in Columbus, for example, it seems they left whatever elixir Jeff Larentowicz passed around at half time back in the locker room at Toyota Park. But we've seen the Fire turn it the other way around too, as in July, when they lost 3-1 in Vancouver only to beat DC 4-1 at home the next week.
Obviously the Fire will be looking to do the same against the suddenly beatable Montreal at TP on Saturday. Here's to the morphic energy going as smoothly as possible.
The first-ever Soccer & Style event benefitting the Chicago Fire Foundation was a great success at ROOF on the Wit last Thursday night.
Fire players Jalil Anibaba, Michael Videira, Hunter Jumper, Sean Johnson, Austin Berry, Gonzalo Segares, Quincy Amarikwa Daniel Paladini and goalkeeping coach Aron Hyde all did their best jaunt down the runway for a good cause.
True to form, it was Jumper that stole the show. Watch to find out...
On whether, with all of the chances and the red card, it still seemed like a 3-0 game:
No, not at all. We give up the red card and then playing shorthanded, and the first goal was soft. We were coming from behind. Really, we pushed the game. We had chances to tie the game and it doesn't go your way and then they got a PK. For me, it's all questionable, but regardless, the team left everything on the field. I feel good about the group. We have to regroup and get ready for next week.
On whether, down 1-0 at half, Chicago was trying to tie the game or still get three points:
You just have to be smart. We had our chances. I think if we would have scored, they would have been under pressure, but we hit the post, we had some good opportunities in the final third and sometimes it just isn't your night.
On trying to beat a team four times in a season:
It isn't easy to beat a team four times in one season, but it's very difficult when you're playing shorthanded also. We played for the majority of the game, almost 60 minutes, shorthanded, and the guys competed and left it all on the field. We pushed the game. We took risks because what's the point? 1-0 or 2-0 you still lose, for me it doesn't matter at that point. We had the chances and we didn't get [the goal]. The second goal really kills us, the PK shorthanded, questionable but whatever. It is what it is. We've just got to move on.
Chicago Fire midfielder Dilly Duka
On the loss:
We have played this team four times this year – you can't win them all. This is MLS. They scored an early goal, they played well, and we were a little unlucky. I thought I was fouled in the first 25 minutes in the box. I clearly got pushed. The guy didn't even touch the ball, but that's how it goes sometimes. Can't look back – got to look forward.
On the second half:
We definitely believed we could come back and tie, maybe even win the game. There was no doubt in that locker room at halftime about coming out of this game with a loss.
On 'new-look' Crew under Bliss:
I thought they were a good team with Robert [Warzycha]. I think they have good personnel and players, but it was just their day.
Chicago Fire midfielder Jeff Larentowicz
On the loss:
We hit the posts, we hit the crossbar, we got opportunities – overall though we were just not good enough. But in the end we have five more games left and we're right there. We have been in this spot before. We knew it was going to be a tough road game coming in, but we have games to play and there is going to be more opportunities.
On impact of second goal:
The next goal was going to be big. We knew that if we could keep it at one to nothing we could probably develop opportunities and create chances. The second goal was one that put the game out of reach.
On difficulty of beating teams four times a season:
We knew that coming in, but at the same time we were focused on the end result. This is a tough part of the year. We are a team that knows we can do things on the road, but tonight it wasn't our best and when you're not on your best you get beat.

Companion forum thread to:2011 Backpacking Light Staff Picks
Addie, congratulations!!!Next year's pick will be a baby carrier, no doubt!
Loved the picks this year, because the reasons for the choices were not merely an exercise in tech specs and gram counting. Instead, it reflected a greater appreciation of simplicity and making use out of things already owned. And if there is a silver lining in this long recession it is the realization that things rarely make us happy - but experiences do. So go out there with your friends, your family and enjoy the outdoors. Enjoying it lighter usually helps, but the gear is just a conduit to the experience.
Are the Arc'Teryx Gamma LT Pant really 5.7 oz? Seems a bit light.
Yeah - that is a misprint.
Congratulations to you and your husband, Addie!
Congrats on the new hiker, Addie!Yeah, a strange mix of choices, as always. I really like the Backcountry Boiler. This is the esscence of what cottage industry in a niche market should be. Slow to order, slow to deliver, but a singularly GREAT product. So good it makes you forget the wait.
Yes, that is a misprint, they are actually 11 oz in a men's small. I will make sure that gets fixed.
Congrats Addie!
Is the Houdini's weight off too? I would love a full zip hooded windshirt for 2oz
Yes on the houdini weight being inaccurate.
Houdini comes in around 4oz. . 2oz is more in line with the Montbell Tachyon windshell. Either way, you'll notice neither of them in your pack.
For reference, here are the BPL communities 2010 picks:http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=40800I'm mulling over my 2011 picks now....Those OR Versaliner gloves looks awesome Will.
I've been eyeballing the Versaliners for a few months now myself. Those shell's look stellar. I was able to confirm with Heath Pitts on these forums, who recently got a pair for x-mas, that the shells are not seam taped. So, not 100% waterproof if you're wondering.
The two mentioned mistakes have been fixed. Thanks all!
Interestingly enough 2011 has seen my favorite gear picks move away from pure BPL standard stuff we see here all the time. My wife and I had a son this year so my attention has moved from spreadsheets and hypothetical trips to what gear works the best with the time I have to use it so here are my top four (could not decide on three).Saucony 4MM drop shoes: The Kinvara's and the Peregrines have changed my outdoor experience. I have learned I am not meant to be a super minimalist runner but a low drop shoe with cushion is where it is at for me. Can't wait for the 4mm drop Exodus 3.0Osprey Talon 22 with Osprey Hydration bladder: Don't even care that it is not UL b/c it just works. I have never owned a pack that carried 100oz against my back so comfortably. Was able to complete a 1 day 26 mile half Pemi loop this year and did not have to waste time planning water stops. Rechargable LED's: My daily outdoor life now takes place in the dark before and after the little guy goes to bed. Be it a 5:30am run or an 8pm cyclocross trail ride the Petzl Core Tikka and the Niterider MiNewt 600 keep me going.Honorable MentionPatagonia 9 Trails Jacket: I agree with Mike, for the last 3 years this has been my go to softshell for running/biking/XC skiing and even backpacking. The super breathable back panel is awesome and the hoodless design is great for layering under a hardshell. Glad I have the old model with the softshell cuffs.
This is the first I've heard of the Backcountry Boiler.What's the scoop? What is it and when might it become available?- Elizabeth
What great timing. You'll be playing with the baby by the time it gets really hot (living in AZ I'm always thinking about the heat factor):)
so I just received the rab latok gloves--event outer, "waterproof", fleecy lining, excellent dexterity, grippy palm. Sized tight. Haven't been able to try them yet in the snow. Now I see these Versaliners...hmmm. I'm sure that I'm going to love the Latoks. Maybe too warm while Nordic skiing? Probably not. Anybody have experience? Sorry if this is drifting...These gloves may be on my top three list.
This is the first I've heard of this. I've been steering clear of pads that are not self-inflating because after an experience with one of those pads going flat halfway through the night because the warm breath I introduced into it when inflating it cooled off. I just went to Camp-Tek's website and I'm sold! I'm definitely going to order one of these. This means I can go to a lighter-weight non-self-inflating pad! Thanks Ray!

Antievolution legislation in Missouri
Missouri's House Bill 486 (PDF), introduced in the Missouri House of Representatives on January 13, 2015, would confer "academic freedom to teach scientific evidence regarding evolution" to teachers. If enacted, the bill would in effect encourage science teachers with idiosyncratic opinions to teach anything they pleased, and discourage responsible educational authorities from intervening. The bill specifically cites "the theory of biological and hypotheses of chemical evolution" as controversial.
Progress in West Virginia
"The West Virginia Board of Education voted Wednesday to withdraw changes proposed to the state's science education standards," reports the Charleston Gazette (January 14, 2015).
West Virginia to revisit science standards
West Virginia's board of education is to reconsider its decision to undermine the treatment of climate science in its new state science standards at its January 14, 2015, meeting, according to The New York Times (January 13, 2015).

WARNING: FreeCAD has moved!
FreeCAD code and release files are now hosted on github at https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD
Only older files and code are available here.
FreeCAD is a general purpose feature-based, parametric 3D modeler for CAD, MCAD, CAx, CAE and PLM, aimed directly at mechanical engineering and product design but also fits a wider range of uses in engineering, such as architecture or other engineering specialties. It is 100% Open Source and extremely modular, allowing for very advanced extension and customization.
FreeCAD is based on OpenCasCade, a powerful geometry kernel, features an Open Inventor-compliant 3D scene representation model provided by the Coin 3D library, and a broad Python API. The interface is built with Qt. FreeCAD runs exactly the same way on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux platforms.
- Rock-solid OpenCasCade-based geometry kernel, allowing complex 3D operations on complex shape types, and supports natively concepts like brep, nurbs, booleans operations or fillets
- Full parametric model allowing any type of parameter-driven custom objects, that can even be fully programmed in python
- Complete access from python built-in interpreter, macros or external scripts to almost any part of FreeCAD, being geometry creation and transformation, the 2D or 3D representation of that geometry (scenegraph) or even the FreeCAD interface
User Ratings
User Reviews
This is nice and helpful software. Please, search the Title in You tube - (how to make facebinder in FreeCA
FreeCAD has great promise, but it's young and very much a work in progress as yet. I like its user interface and much about the capabilities so far - though it has a few odities and bugs still. However!!! As at August 2015 it allows you to design a single homogeneous part (e.g. a moulding) as a unit. But most real things require an Assembly of parts (e.g. mouldingS + screws + bearings, etc..) - and that's not there yet - which rather scuppers any serious use yet. You can of course design many parts and even place many components on the same drawing. But that's not the same as being able to assemble individual parts into a component/product/composite-part. I know there are some good intentions and good features in the pipeline, like the Assembly module and true Parametric driven* design capability. Providing these are well thought out and well implemented, they'll make it a great product with much potential. [ * FreeCAD at present allows specification of the values of attributes (eg. length, width, height etc.). These can be changed (edited) and redrawing happens. However, to me true parametric driven CAD is being able to use formulae and variables in the attribute definitions, so that changing a value ripples the effect through the whole model, not just one item. ]
Very good program! Thank you guys!
It's an excellent software. It still lacks: - assembly management - FEM support for Code ASTER (open source certified engineering sofrware). There's just Calculix support :-( - structured mesh support (it's needed for FEM model patch test) - spline in sketch
If the version number of FreeCAD were an integer, my rating of it would be much lower. Since the version that I am using is .15, though, I think that it's a very impressive piece of software. The people involved with the creation of this program are doing a great job. I use Autodesk Inventor in my day job and have previously used Pro/E/Creo. The user interface and sketcher in FreeCAD are bother frustrating to use compared to those. Some of that, of course, can be attributed to being more accustomed to my regular software. Some appear to be bugs - it appears that certain operations are unsuccessful - but this may also be my learning curve with the interface. I added the Assembly2 workbench and like it so far. From what I've read, adding real assembly capability to the software is a major undertaking, but assembly is crucial to making this software more usable. If my programming skills were above mediocre, I would find a way to help with this project. I still might at some point but want to learn the software better first to find out what works, what doesn't work, and what things I might like to see changed.

Independence is prized in the United States like nowhere else on earth.
Americans have celebrated their independence every July 4 since breaking free of England's yoke in the Revolutionary War.
Independence is prized in the United States like nowhere else on earth.
Americans have celebrated their independence every July 4 since breaking free of England's yoke in the Revolutionary War.
But the U.S., one of the most resource-rich countries in the world, has not been able to meet its own energy needs for more than half a century.
That appears to be changing, though, in light of technological advances that have jump-started a boom in domestic oil and natural gas development.
"Every president since at least Richard Nixon has at least at one time or another declared that their goal was to make the United States energy independent. I and others in the industry snickered at that. It was just impossible," said Larry Nichols, executive chairman of Devon Energy Corp. "You could look at the energy imports coming in and know that they would go up forever. No one saw that would ever change, despite whatever noble goals were set by that long list of presidents.
"It is truly amazing to me that I stand here today and look at this continent and see that we could make ourselves energy independent. That is something I thought was impossible 20 or 30 or 40 years ago."
Chesapeake Energy Corp. CEO Aubrey McClendon said it is in the country's best interest to become energy independent.
"Energy independence means energy and economic security for our nation. It's breaking OPEC's 40-year stranglehold on our economy. And it's finally having a foreign policy where energy needs no longer determine how we make significant strategic decisions, including when and where we choose to engage in armed conflicts," he said.
Rayola Dougher, senior economist at the American Petroleum Institute, said some policy changes that favor producers could allow the U.S. to meet its crude oil needs by 2025, generating thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in tax revenue in the process.
"The math works," she said. "You can do it in a dozen years."
But to continue bolstering U.S. oil production, industry officials are seeking policy changes that would lessen regulations facing producers and open new areas for exploration.
Dougher said the industry wants "common sense" rules and regulations that protect the environment without stymieing development.
"Any kind of energy, any kind of development, is disruptive, but we can do it safely," she said.
Others see the future differently.
"Energy independence is a lofty goal that is probably not achievable for a very long time, if ever," clean energy consultant Alan Nogee said. "But we can make enormous progress toward energy independence, and greatly increase our energy security in the near term by increasing our energy efficiency and switching to renewable energy resources."

The Watertown Urban Mission has raised $1.1 million toward its $2 million capital campaign and is looking for community support to close the gap.
Board President Beverly Brown said campaign funds will provide basic physical changes to the mission to improve services for thousands of clients each year. Many changes, however, mean many dollars.
Itll be just a better flow of what we have, she said, during a campaign announcement Wednesday at the mission.
She took a Times reporter on a tour of the 247 Factory St. building, which has deteriorated in certain sections. Its critical needs department, where people go for immediate basic assistance, lacks privacy. The Impossible Dream Thrift Store, which supports agency programs and services, has uneven floors and no handicapped accessibility from its first floor to its second floor.
Money raised through the capital campaign will allow programs to be more centralized instead of scattered throughout the building, and random items wont have to be stored in the hallway. All windows will be fixed and a back wall by the offices will be repaired. Ceiling tiles and carpet will be replaced.
The Urban Missions core programs include the thrift store, food pantry, Christian care, a homeless prevention program, the Bridge Program and critical needs.
Representatives from Bernier, Carr & Associates, GYMO Architecture, Engineering & Land Surveying, and Purcell Construction previously walked through the agency to make note of items to be fixed.
They all said we were in the right location, Mrs. Brown said. We just needed a shine.
Aubertine & Currier Architects, Engineers & Land Surveyors designed the buildings improvements and reconfiguration plan.
The nonprofit agency moved into the former Halley Electric Co. building in 2004 from its previous location on Franklin Street, and a year later bought it for $350,000.
About $1.2 million from the total $2 million of campaign funds will be spent on renovations, $300,000 will go to an endowment program, $240,000 will be allocated to construction contingency, $180,000 will go to construction service fees and $80,000 will be applied to campaign operational expenses.
Campaign Co-chairman John W. Deans announced Wednesday that $1,141,300 has been raised in the quiet phase of the campaign. Wednesdays celebration at the mission also marked the beginning of the community phase.
Because of the generosity weve seen up until this point, were confident in reaching our goal, he said. When weve come asking, the communitys stepped up. This will truly be a mission possible.
Fittingly, the campaign is called Mission: Possible. Renew, Restore, Revitalize.
Brian D. Leech of Rose Bay Builders, Cape Vincent, donated materials and labor to construct a portable progress meter, which shows how much has been raised. The meter may be used by community groups or community members at any fundraiser or event. Shaped like a house, painted blue, the meter will fill with yellow ping-pong balls as more funds are raised. The meters design is reflective of the campaigns blue and yellow logo.
Executive Director Erika F. Flint said the mission served its neighbors more than 35,000 times in 2012, and while the need is great now, it continues to grow.
Results of the campaign will mean giving clients a safe and dignified environment, she said.
Mr. Deans said any financial contribution will be accepted any time, and large commitments may be made payable over a five-year period. To contribute to the campaign, or for more information about it, call the agency at 782-8440.
