Earlier this month the Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority (PPRTA) and the City of Colorado Springs Street Division placed a test section of terminal blend tire rubber asphalt (TBTRA) and slag on Voyager Parkway. The City is testing slag, a by-product created during steel production in Pueblo, because it is an extremely hard aggregate made from 100-percent recycled material. Combined with TBTRA, which uses recycled tires blended into the asphalt oil, the test section on Voyager Parkway uses 96 percent recycled components overall.
A Department of Energy grant is allowing the City to do something unusual these days. It?s allowing the City to keep some streetlights lit; both now and for a decade into the future. The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant, provided by American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding, is financing a pilot project to replace some traditional City-managed, metered, streetlights with low-energy LED streetlights.
Building roads is dirty work, literally and environmentally. Yet, it?s a core service that must be provided to citizens for both public safety and quality of life. So, how can road construction decision-makers and community members incorporate the core sustainability principles of: ecology, equity, and economy? Greenroads, a creation of CH2MHILL and the University of Washington, is a new LEED-like rating system that allows a project to earn points, a certification rating, and public recognition based on following the very latest best practices. Project Manager Dirk Draper, Vice President of the CH2MHill Colorado Springs Office, will present the Greenroads rating system on July 29, 2010. The lunch-n-learn runs over the noon lunch hour, from 12:11 to 12: 49 p.m., at the City Administration Building, 30 S. Nevada, in Suite 102. Attendees are encouraged to bring and enjoy their lunches during the presentation. Those who come have the opportunity to win a door prize tote bag made from recycled City banners.

BUFFALO, NY - Nothing says Christmas quite like the Salvation Army's annual red kettle campaign, which was launched on the steps of Buffalo City Hall...on Friday November 9th.
"It isn't too early for the people who need service," said Salvation Army Major Thomas Applin. "And the need goes on all year long...this is our traditional time so we're doing the best that we can now."
They've already long decked the halls at the Boulevard Mall in Amherst, where Santa will make his initial holiday season appearance on Saturday, November 10th.
"Santa arrives at Boulevard Mall the second Saturday of every November, so it really isn't any earlier," said the mall's Marketing Director, Betsy Bonvissuto.
Buffalo radio station Star 102.5 switched to an all Christmas music format on the morning of November 9th, which is not the earliest start ever, according to Operations Manager Sue O'Neil, who says the station actually played Christmas tunes one day earlier during a previous year.
"I think for some people they are ready and for some others, not so much, but for those who are ready we're here with Christmas music," O'Neil told WGRZ-TV. "I think we're just following what's going on with stores which are already set up for Christmas, at the post office you can get your Christmas stamps, and you can actually hear Christmas music when you go through the stores."
Bonvissuto concedes that some shoppers complain about what seems like an earlier appearance of Christmas decorations every year, but notes, "I never get asked by children, 'isn't it kind of early to have Santa here?'"
At least one major retail chain is staunchly bucking the trend. Nordstrom's department stores won't be rolling out the holiday decorations and fanfare until the day after Thanksgiving.

CANTON The man who once stood before the court system accused of murder is now representing himself in a $287 million lawsuit against the city that he said put him behind bars unlawfully for almost five years.
It was Wayne T. Oxleys time in the courtroom and working with lawyers putting together the lawsuit filed May 17 against the city of Ogdensburg that gave him enough know-how to successfully represent himself in state Supreme Court, he said.
Mr. Oxley, 47, formerly of 1022 New York Ave., Ogdensburg, was accused of beating his then-neighbor, Bernard A. Trickey Jr., to death with a wooden baseball bat in 2005. He was convicted of second-degree murder in 2006 but a state appellate court sent the case back for retrial. A second trial ended with a hung jury. In his third trial, in February 2012, a St. Lawrence County Court jury acquitted him.
Named in the multimillion dollar suit are former Police Chief Andrew P. Wells and police officers Andrew D. Kennedy and Harry J. McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Kennedy both testified against Mr. Oxley during his trials. Also named in the suit against the city is Steven Fisher, a detective with city police during the murder investigation and Detective Shawn R. Shaver.
Mr. Oxley is looking to collect on alleged violations to his civil and constitutional rights, punitive damages and a loss of wages and benefits while he was incarcerated on murder charges that couldnt hold up in court after three trials.
It was OJT, on the job training, Mr. Oxley said. I have learned the law quite well over the years and I have chosen to represent myself.
Mr. Oxley said he was still hopeful that an attorney would sign on to his case and he said his search for an attorney continues. He said he even went as far as Staten Island to seek counsel.
The lawyer and his partner decided not to get into it because it was too large and too much overhead involved for a payoff that might not even bring them a profit, if break even, Mr. Oxley said.
The problem he said he has come across is that all the law firms in the county are entangled with one another in some form or fashion, calling it a good old boys club, and the firms out of the area, like the one he approached in Staten Island, find the case to be too burdensome.
Mr. Oxley also represents himself in a lawsuit he has pending against the state.
The lawsuit against the state is for his time spent in state correctional facilities from Aug. 30, 2005 until May 23, 2010 when he was bailed out by his father, Mr. Oxley said. His lawsuit against the city is from the moment he was arrested by city police in until his acquittal
State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman filed a motion to dismiss against Mr. Oxleys lawsuit, which was denied in April 2012. That case is scheduled for a hearing in July of 2014.
The city of Ogdensburg has also filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit against them as well, according to WWNY News 7.
Mr. Oxley said the law firm representing the city, Fischer. Bessette, Muldowney and Hunter LLP from Malone, filed the motion at the last minute.
Attorneys from that firm, along with Ogdensburg City Attorney Andrew Silver, did not return calls for comment.
But Mr. Oxley said he is not concerned about the motion.
The state motion to dismiss I didnt reply to but this I am replying to and come Sept. 13, I will have my argument for the court, Mr. Oxley said.
In his lawsuit against the city, Mr. Oxley wrote that he has been successful representing himself against the state in that his papers survived the motion to dismiss in the Court of Claims.
(I) had hoped that the victory would convince the attorneys with whom (I) was speaking in New York City to take the case. However, that did not happen, the lawsuit stated.
Mr. Oxley wrote that he hopes to obtain legal counsel to continue the pending suit against the state as well as his case against the city.
Mr. Oxley said he was seeking $120 million due to negligence, false arrest and malicious and unlawful imprisonment, among other alleged violations to his rights including denial to his right to counsel and attorney fees for representing himself.
He is also seeking $125 million in punitive damages and $42 million in lost wages.
Mr. Oxley said he arrived at that $287 million figure after consulting with lawyers and looking over other court cases.
Mr. Oxley said he went after the city because it burned him and that he only wished to be exonerated in the court of public opinion.
Its their doing. They have insurance policies for that, Mr. Oxley said of the city. They have insurance policies for the police force and that should back them up. Its protecting the taxpayers.
One of the problems in that city is that they have no policies or procedures, Mr. Oxley said. I would hope that this will change that.

Eye candy alert!
Kellan Lutz and Katrina Bowden look ready for the beach in their new Op Summer 2013 campaign. The sexy spread features the two enjoying classic summer activities like barbequing, eating ice cream, and having some fun in the sun.
Kellan and Katrina are definitely comfortable showing lots of skin, which leaves us wondering how they got their hot beach bods!
"I do spinning, Pilates barre classes ... I will try anything ... I try not to eat too much junk food which is hard because I love candy," Katrina reveals.
And despite his shredded six pack, Kellan also shares the same love for sugary sweets. "My guilty pleasure is candy ... I have a candy drawer," the "Twilight" hunk confesses.
As the seasons change, so do Kellan's workouts. "I love the summer, I love kite surfing at the beach, so I'll definitely be wearing Op."
And Katrina's advice on how to rock Op's summer looks? "I love mixing and matching the brightly colored bikinis, tank tops and shorts. I like to create my own individual beach style."
Click on the "Launch Gallery" link above to see the sexy stars in action and head over to Walmart.com to purchase their looks!

I am not edcuated enough to really know of all the pros and cons to having these procedures done, but i figured i would chime in
I dont mean to get weird here but I want to compare this kind of thing to a procedure like a circumcision. A lot of people say that it has healthy benefits while others are content and feel the opposite.
The revelance is this: Are there any actual (proven) pros to having the ears cropped and tail docked on a dog?
If yes... Then I would love to hear more about the procedure and its benefits.
If no... Well lets first consider the fact that the dog itself does not give two chocolate about its own appearence (other than its own personal hygiene. With that being said, I am not sure why this procedure is even considered acceptable.
Honestly guys, I get it. The human desire for perfection and image... From kennel clubs and dog shows to the guys that just want their dog to have that "pit look" or whatever. None of it is beneficial to the dog and I feel uneasy about the thought of taking a knife to an animal and trying to customize it like its a hot rod or something.
I dont want to bash anyone here that believes in having these procedures done though... Seriously. I am sure that many owners that have had these things done are nice people and superb dog owners.
I am not sure how much pain and discomfort is caused to the dog if done by a professional nor the social and health aspects afterwards so this is my gray area.
Personally, I will not be having these procedures done to my pup. I am satisfied with what years of evolution have provided and think my pup is perfect in every way.
When it comes to my "image", I will leave the customizing to my motorcycle
I leave you with what has already been said in this thread:
Consider Your Pets Feelings.. Its a living thing that can feel pain. A pet is not fashion statement.

The editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Cardiology asserts that coronary artery disease (the leading killer of men and women in United States) would not be possible without elevated cholesterol, which is elevated by trans fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol, which are all found in animal based foods. This is one reason cholesterol reduction has been found to be maximized by a vegan diet (see also here). Eating a plant-based diet has even been found to reverse heart disease and possibly even the progression of cancer. A vegan diet results in very low levels of carcinogenic nitrosamines flowing through the body.
Dr. Spock recommended all children be raised on a diet free of meat and dairy to prevent diseases such as cancer. Vegan children have been found to have higher IQs. Commercial milk, produced by pregnant cows, is full of hormones; some of these hormones could be categorized as carcinogens and may affect the sexual maturation of children.
Eating vegan has been strongly associated with a higher frequency of bowel movements as well as better fecal form, which reduces the risk for many health issues. The intake of fiber (only found in plant foods) is associated with a longer life. In studies, vegans have been found to be deficient in three nutrients, whereas omnivores have been found to be deficient in seven. Vegans also show significantly less inflammation in their bodies compared to meat eaters.
Industrial pollutants have been found to be at significantly lower levels in the blood of vegans compared to omnivores. The breast milk of vegans has been found to be significantly less polluted with fire retardants as well as dioxins. Mercury levels in vegans have also been found to be 10 times lower than those who eat fish. Because we feed farm animals to other farm animals in the US, the toxins may bioaccumulate up the food chain and so eating lower on the food chain (a plant-based diet) may decrease one's exposure to industrial pollutants.
Dairy consumption has been associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's, heart attacks, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer (see here). In a study, milk protein was found to cause an increase in abdominal fat whereas soy protein resulted in a decrease in abdominal fat. The National Academy of Science has said the only safe intake of trans-fats is zero, and a significant source in the American diet of trans-fats is animal products. The average BMI in the US is now 28.8; vegans are the only dietary group in America that is not overweight. And even obese vegans are protected from diabetes. A vegan diet may even be able to reverse diabetes if caught early enough.
Vegans have been found to have the same bone density as omnivores, and vegans also have higher blood plasma protein levels than meat eaters. Veganism may also slow aging by boosting telomerase activity, which protects our DNA. An egg-free vegetarian diet has been found to result in higher blood levels of DHEA, which may extend one's lifespan. Vegans appear to be at the lowest risk for developing arthritis and cataracts. Rheumatoid arthritis can be reversed in some cases by a vegan diet. A plant-based diet also appears to prevent and even treat Crohn's Disease. And plant based diets may prevent kidney function decline and possibly even treat kidney failure.
But vegans must supplement their diet with Vitamin B12, either by eating fortified food or taking a supplement pill (see also here, here. here, here, here, here, here, here). They also need to make sure they get enough iodine, from sources such as iodized salt or seaweed. Plant-based long chain omega 3 fatty acid (DHA) supplements may also be useful.

Comments about Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-6V6-R Matched Power Tubes:
GT and MF have teamed up for a great price on these...sound great, but, GT/MF packing materials leaves a lot to be desired, and on all my orders over the years the tubes end up hitting against each other in the the factory box and then also bounce around in the MF box. The only thing I can advise is for MF to open these boxes each time and put some padding between the two tubes, plus also the mailing box needs better padding inside so the tube box don't bounce around. These are "glass", "not" a set of strings.

Very sturdy construction. I also like the fact that they're longer than most ramps I've found. (88 inches). I would recommend buying some grip tape for the ends though, they slip off the tailgate pretty easily.

HOULTON, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- A federal proposal to charge travelers a new fee when entering the U.S. at land ports of entry is not going over well in border communities.
A border fee study is included in the Department of Homeland Security's 2014 budget request and has not yet been approved. But the discussion has border towns in Maine and Canada saying the impact both personally and financially would just be too great. Many people who live on the U.S. - Canadian border have to cross the border to work or go to church or visit family.
Sarah Foster is the manager of Mardens in Houlton. She says the fee could have major impact on them because about 50 percent of their business is Canadian shoppers. Foster said, "A lot of our customers especially our Woodstock customers come over several times a week. They may come in 2 or 3 times a week. They also cross over to get things like butter, gas and groceries. So, they would certainly have to adjust their buying habits but there would be a considerable impact."
Jane Torres is the Executive Director of the Greater Houlton Chamber of Commerce. She says the impact of a fee goes beyond the financial implications to the communities. Many people there have to cross the border to work or go to church. But the biggest concern she has would be family. Torres said, " I think it's family wise. You are not going to pop over and see your aunt if its going to cost you every time. You're just not going to come as much. And we are an aging community and there are a lot of older people who count on family to make sure they are ok. And I think it would impact them greatly."
The Department of Homeland Security issued this statement regarding the study.
"The proposed land border user fee study is intended to assess options for broadening the user fee base to help ensure that resources and services are properly aligned across all ports of entry. The study would include an analysis of the impact that collecting a fee would have on CBP operations, as well as on members of the trade and traveling public."

They say about us:
Our stay for my girlfriend's birthday was perfect. The room was fantastic, the bar and the restaurant were excellent and had many different options and very good service. However, the cherry on the cake was the terrace on the rooftop. It was a fantastic stay. We'll be back in September.
I loved this hotel. It's a small, clean and friendly hotel and I recommend it 100%. It offers plenty of little details and I would definitely go back. What I liked the most was the super-comfortable bed.
The cleanliness and service are fantastic! In the afternoon, although I can't remember the exact time, they have the delicacy of serving an afternoon snack "courtesy of the hotel", with fantastic and tasty croissants and pastries.
In truth, it was a pleasant surprise. The service was excellent, the location was very convenient (close to the Ramblas) and the food and drink were of the highest quality. The daily mini brunch is delicious.
The hotel is fantastic. It is cosy and has beautiful and well-maintained decoration. Its level of cleanliness is perfect and the service is friendly and helpful. The terrace is also nice to eat or drink in. Highly recommended. The restaurant is also excellent.
Fantastic hotel. Small, quiet, clean, comfortable and with attention to detail. Highly professional and polite staff. Ideal for business trips or holidays with your partner. I would definitely go back.

Out for Good
The view from under South Hill, as interpreted by Luca

Wondering what to do with your lazy, hazy July days? Whether you are working, playing, studying, or some combination of all three, this month is a unique time to take stock, make plans, and perhaps make changes. Here are some suggestions for things to do with your July days:
1. Dream
Summer offers an extended period of time to dream - ideas for the future, ideas for your future, ideas for your student organization, ideas for an innovation or invention, ideas for redecorating your residence hall room or apartment...My current career didn't exist when I was a student - where do you see yourself after graduation? In an established field? In a still emerging field, or perhaps in a career that does not yet exist? What's important to you in life? How can you get there? Dream!
2. Wonder
Take some time to look up at the sky, look up at the moon, look around your surroundings. What came before you? What is yet to come? What things do we take for granted that only a few short decades or years ago were only a dream or idea? Experience the wonder of everyday things, or of the universe!
3. Explore
Explore places, near or far. Get off the train one stop before or after your usual stop. Explore the backyard or a park. Check out what is nearby that you haven't had the time or inclination to try before - go to the symphony, theatre, or zoo in your city or a nearby place.
4. Read
Items one through 3 above can also be applied to this item! Read for pleasure rather than studying; or read a book you've been meaning to get to for awhile but haven't had the time. Or, read the book our incoming first year students are reading. Better yet, read to a child - a younger brother or sister, niece or nephew, cousin - experience and share the joy of reading with a child.
5. Train
Get outside and get active! Run, walk, bike, swim - a whole slate of races, competitions, and benefits are coming up soon:The Cancer Resource Center's 5K run and walk, the Cayuga Lake Triatlon, Hospicare's Women Swimmin', the AIDS Ride for Life, or something taking place where ever you are this summer. Set a goal, increase your fitness, try something new or challenging!
6. Breathe
Yes, simple but effective. Minds and bodies require oxygen. Sometimes stress can cause us to not fully engage in this important (and required!) activity. Better yet, learn and practice breathing techniques to increase relaxation and positive emotions with these audio tracks from the Counseling Center!
7. Let it go
Try letting go of the slights against you from the past day, the past week, the past semester. A remark or action of a professor, another student, a family member or friend - some of the slights we hold onto may have been unintentional or even well-meaning but just a little off - many can hold us back even as the world moves on. Let go of a slight - a very real one, or perhaps one that stung at the time stung but now has passed and is just not useful for you to hang onto anymore. Use that energy for something else this month!
8. Try Something New
A new hobby, a new skill, a new use for your time, a new wellness practice. You know what it is you've been wanting to do - try it out now!
9. Serve
(This blog is called Out for Good, remember?) Help someone else, regularly or just once, volunteer formally or informally, LGBT or non-LGBT. Just do it. Your contribution matters. You matter. Share the gift of your time, your knowledge, your caring. Make a difference in the world!
10. Rest & Recharge
Try out meditation, relaxation, and visualization practices on your own, or with the help of the Counseling Center (see #6). Take time for yourself, spend time with friends, do things that help you feel good. Everyone needs time to relax and rejuvenate - especially student scholars and leaders! Do if for yourself, do it for those around you, do it to get energized for the coming year!
That's it - ten tips. Try one, a few, or all ten. And now are you wondering, what do I do in July? See numbers 1 - 10, above!

EAST PROVIDENCE – Police have made two arrests in connection with Sunday's
shooting at Onna Moniz John Park, but are not releasing the names of the
suspects until later this afternoon pending further investigation,
according to police Lt. Michael David.
"We have two individuals in custody," David said. "The quick arrests in
this are a direct result of police officers being familiar with the
community in which they work and inter agency cooperation."
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old victim in the shooting was being listed today
in critical, but stable condition at Rhode Island Hospital where he
underwent surgery on Sunday.
On Sunday, police say a basketball court at the park was the scene of a
fight between two men that led to one of them being shot multiple times,
according to police.
According to witness reports, the two men got into an argument during a
pick-up basketball game involving four men in the park, which then
escalated into a fight.
One of the men left the basketball court and then returned with a gun. At
that point, the 22-year-old victim ran to his car at the corner of John
and McCausland Streets where he was shot at least once in the abdomen
while sitting in his car.
The police already were in route to Central Avenue and John Street after
people in the area alerted them about 11:45 a.m. that a fight had broken
out, according to police.
When police arrived, they found the victim trying to leave the park. The
man was treated at the scene by East Providence EMTs before being
transported to the hospital. The park, located a short distance from City
Hall, is one of several in the East Providence Parks network, which
includes 15 neighborhood parks and playgrounds
Located between Central Ave and McCausland Avenue, the Onna Moniz John
Park is described as a neighborhood park with plenty of shade trees, the
Central Avenue playground for kids 5 to 12 years of age, and a basketball

Select shots from the Fire's friendly with Club America.
Credit: Brian Kersey, Chicago Fire
A mistake is just a mistake, an error, a blip - the definition implies that it's somehow against what's expected, it's notable specifically because it's not in rhythm with everything else going on. Repeated mistakes, predictable mistakes, they're no longer mistakes. They're problems.
After yet another game marked by early concessions (and, at last, without the gritty comebacks that defined the Fire's breathtaking unbeaten streak) The Fire find themselves approaching halfway through the season with an opportunity to define their year.
Are all these frustrating early goals, the slow starts, the brief moments of futility - are they mistakes, errors, blips? Are they exceptions to the true Fire? Or will they define the Fire as a problem, and we'll look back sometime in the fall at a team that cost itself a playoff spot?
Pour some out for the exhilarating and dramatic nine-game unbeaten run. After Wednesday's game against San Jose, everything looked hunky dory. The Fire let in some goals, but they controlled the game, scored wonderfully, and showed just how much of a new team we were seeing compared to the disappointments of the spring. Now, the Fire will have to show whether Magic Mike Magee's impact is just makeup, MLS cover-all.
The best part of soccer seasons is that, eventually, your strengths and weaknesses are laid bare. There are deserved and deserved results, sure, but there's no such thing as a lucky season because there are enough games to balance out unlucky bounces, bad call, injuries, and so on. The points at the end of the season tell a complete story.
So, yes, Sunday was hot and humid. KC is stacked, with maybe the best back line in MLS. The Fire played on short rest. It was, in other words, the worst scenario to let in early goals.
But it also exposed the Fire's tendency to let in these goals that just feel wrong. The only word I can think of to describe the kinds of goals we've seen against the Fire is icky. They're icky. They're kind of gross. They feel wrong. They're not well worked, they don't really break the Fire down or come from great passing or individual brilliance. I'm thinking about Lindpere's own goal and Gordon's ridiculous crossbar assist to himself on Wednesday; Feilhaber's volley off the post and Zusi's wind-assisted Shross on Sunday. Going back, there are the Austin Berry gifts to Deshorn Brown of Colorado and Dominic Oduro of Columbus. You have to go all the way back to June 8th against Portland to see a really nice goal scored against the Fire in MLS.
That's a good sign, I think. I think it means that, once the Fire stop letting in these icky goals, Magee and the suddenly more clinical Duka - Nyarko - Rolfe supporting cast will continue to carry the Fire towards a playoff spot. It only seems right.
But with big road games in Vancouver and Houston coming up this month and the games starting to wear people down, the Fire are going to have to prove that their ascent is legitimate. They'll have to prove that June's run was no lie, that the early goals were a bunch of mistakes, errors, blips - not what defines them.
Select shots from the Fire's loss to Sporting Kansas City
Credit: Brian Kersey, Chicago Fire
The Fire will host Sporting KC on Sunday afternoon at Toyota Park attempting to extend their unbeaten run to double digits after a dramatic five-goal thriller against San Jose midweek while KC comes to Chicago after a disappointing home draw against Vancouver.
Both teams are not on friendly terms and this looks set to be a thriller. Here are some tactical things to look out for.
Limiting the set pieces – Don't allow Zusi to work his magic
Sporting KC have a double threat on set pieces with a number of players who are very good in the air and they have Graham Zusi, one of the best strikers of a dead ball in MLS.
At the back, Frenchman Aurelien Collin is not only strong but always makes a nuisance of himself in the box. Up front, they've benefited from the return of striker Kei Kamara who spent some time with Norwich in the Premier League.
Dan and Kevin talk Sporting KC
In KC's last match against Vancouver, Kamara came very close to scoring from headers on multiple occasions not by outmuscling his opponent like Collin does but simply by out jumping them.
Like quite a few teams in MLS, Kansas City also possesses a modified set play – the long throw. Just as Jalil Anibaba deploys the it almost whenever possible for the Fire, SKC center back Matt Besler does the same.
The Fire gave away a silly goal from a set piece last week and better defending will be needed against a team that is well known for their set piece prowess.
Keeping SKC's attacking wide players at bay – neutralizing Saad and Kamara
Kansas City starts in a 4-3-3 formation with striker Claudio Bieler in the middle with Kei Kamara and Soony Saad supporting him wide. Many teams are so focused (and I don't blame them) on Bieler and attacking mid Graham Zusi that sometimes Saad and Kamara are overlooked and both players are good at finding space.
Coach Peter Vermes constantly orders the players to switch sides during play which makes picking them up even harder. In Kansas City's last win against Columbus, Kamara chipped in with two goals, the first coming from a fantastic switch of the field which found Kamara in space that he was able to control and finish.
The attacking nature of Sporting's outside defenders also gives Kamara and Saad an excuse to get into the middle and support Bieler. There will be some 1v1 battles between Saad and the Fire outside defenders but it will certainly take a team effort to keep the wide men at bay on Sunday afternoon.
Letting the Fire wingers create – creating room for Nyarko and Duka change the game
Anyone who has watched the Fire closely this season will tell you that winger Patrick Nyarko is playing the best the best soccer of his career and if he can overcome the tight hamstring that brought him out early against San Jose and start against KC the Fire have a great chance of winning.
Athletico Coaching Corner with Mike Matkovich
Nyarko has done it all for the team this year, be it tracking back to win the ball from his opponent, beating a man in a 1v1 situation or combining well with his teammates.
In the midweek win against San Jose, Nyarko did something many critics of the Fire often call out for more of, getting into the box to support the strikers. Nyarko not only got in but made a great near post run and finished superbly.
The cross provided for the Nyarko goal came from Dilly Duka who is starting to show his true potential. Duka had a goal and an assist in the win against San Jose and could've had a few more if not for narrowly missing a few rockets from outside the box.
READ: Will Nyarko be good to go Sunday?
In the past few weeks, Dilly has been a major threat from the wide positions, beating players at will and putting in numerous dangerous crosses. Duka has also got into the box to great effect, scoring two goals in as many matches.
The dual threat of attacking from wide areas as well as providing support in the box should cause the SKC back line some major issues on Sunday afternoon.
Prediction: Fire critics have claimed the club has yet to beat an elite team during the side's nine-game unbeaten streak but I think those critics will be silenced on Sunday afternoon. 2-1 Fire with goals from Magee and Alex.
Miss Mike Magee's segment on MLS Insider last night? No fears Fire fans, check out the rather awesome feature around Mike's homecoming to Chicago below, courtesy of MLSsoccer.com:
Check out the full episode with features on the Cascadia Cup and Vancouver's Kekuta Manneh here.
Soccer in America is still constructing its infrastructure, and we need engineers. People to build the institutions that will support the weight. One of those engineers is here, with us. If you've watched a game in a bar in Chicago you probably already know him.
Tall, beer in hand, iconic rockabilly hat - that's the ubiquitous German Cowboy. His name is Mike Knueppel, and he's been in Chicago since 2005. You'll find him often at the far side of the bar in Cleo's on Chicago, sometimes in the back room, rarely on the patio, but you can always pick him out by his trademark collection of kits, dozens and dozens of them, all with COWBOY 57 on the back.
We were driving to Toyota Park on Wednesday night talking about all those jerseys. I once saw him change from a German kit to an American one at halftime of their friendly in June. How can one support ALL the teams? What happened to loyalty?
"I wear the shirt of who's playing," he said. "But mostly if they have a German player."
This was hard to take. Aren't we supposed to live and die for a club? That means hating other clubs, wishing harm on strangers in other colors, "You ain't got no history," all of that.
But he was saying something different. You watch because, first of all, you want to watch the game. The game is primary. Then, you have your local allegiance. His is German and Hamburger SV (He founded Hamburger SV Supporters Chicago with a few others.) He cares most of all about the German national team and he's willing to wear shirts of teams he "can live nicely without," as he says, like Bayern Munich, because of some of their players.
"I even bought a Bayern Munich shirt recently," he told me. "I mean I really shocked their supporters, they know I don't like that team, but as a fellow German I support them internationally."
I said, "This is troubling. You support players as they come and go? They're moving around constantly. It's like rooting for mercenaries."
"I don't support only the players. That's why I have COWBOY (or VAQUERO for Real Madrid) on my shirts with my birth year. At least I know that won't change. But first you support your local club."
That's fine too, but the logic breaks down again because what about the organizations with detestable front offices or ownership groups? (I'm thinking about even some of our Chicago teams' history.) You can't just support a team willy-nilly.
"It's true," he said. "But you have to support your location."
And Americans supporting European teams in places they may have never even seen in person?
These to me are the tough questions of support and fandom. What exactly are we doing supporting these teams, all over the world? Thankfully, seated in Toyota Park to watch our shared, indisputable, actual home team, we could lay the question aside for 90 minutes or so.
Fun game, too, right? Nice how the rain broke and the night warmed up. Dilly Duka more than deserved the standing ovation he got as he came off in the 87th. The Cowboy and I enjoyed watching him absolutely terrorize Quakes right back Steven Beitashour.
The night was beautiful. Leaving the stadium, I was mumbling about how we fans deserve these nights. Those cold, grinding results early in the season were tough. You could feel the fans' relief at the result. No disappointment this time. Wednesday night was even better because of the challenge and drama; San Jose wouldn't die, but the Fire earned the three points with three beautifully worked goals. "They won, that's all that matters," the Cowboy said. "Fans love the win."
There's a long story for how the Cowboy got to Chicago, a story including four weeks at the Presidential towers in 1987, karaoke, his wife Sharon, the city of Seattle, software programming - it's a story that he might tell you if you see him at Cleo's. He's not afraid to share.
And in some ways, it's fitting that he's around. The Cowboy embodies the 21st century globalized soccer paradigm. He can watch his Bundesliga, follow die Mannschaft, and participate in the growth of soccer in America, all from a comfortable neighborhood bar in Chicago. His work developing Cleo's website and social presence has made it one of the primary soccer locations in Chicago and turned heads nationally. Maybe most importantly, his unofficial freelance soccer ambassadorship has brought people from all over the world together.
You'll see him meeting with local supporter clubs (some of which he founded himself) like those of Dortmund and Hamburg, as well as Section 8, the Fire, ESPN, and just last week, in the beer garden, you would've seen him watching Uruguay and Italy in the Confederations Cup with Hamburg's senator of the interior and highest ranking police officer.
Ever since he convinced Cleo's to let him fix up their site and control their Facebook page, and with the blessing and help of Stephen behind the bar, the Cowboy has been our handyman, fixing up games and posting schedules so we can watch American and European soccer at our ease. "I wanted a bar where I know them and they know me and I get there they put the drink on the bar," he said. "Where I can watch all the games and they'll open early."
In other words, it's not really about the fanaticism of watching games. Going back to our conversation about supporting clubs, it became clear to me that the whole "it's what's on the front of the jersey, not the back of the jersey" thing is cheesy and doesn't apply - just having a jersey is what matters. In this way, the Cowboy is critical in experience-making. He's not an owner of the bar, or even an employee - he's one of us. His work setting up games and events at Cleo's, with just watching the game as the goal, means that there's less pressure to know esoteric European stadium statistics, or to spew hatred for teams thousands of miles away.
Maybe that's the answer about why we support who and how. Maybe we just support the game. Watch the game for the game's sake. Love the game. Talk to people. Drink beer. Amen.

(San Francisco, Tulsa)
1953-1963 San Francisco 49ers
Robert Bruce St. Clair ...Third-round draft pick, 1953 ... Had size, speed, intelligence, love of hitting ... Excelled as both running, passing blocker ... Played on goal line defense, superb on special teams ... Blocked 10 field goals, 1956 ... All-NFL four years ... Starter in five Pro Bowls ... 49ers team captain ... Nicknamed "Geek" by teammates because of flamboyant lifestyle ... Born February 18, 1931, in San Francisco, California ... Died April 20 2015, at age of 84.
Bob St. Clair joined the San Francisco 49ers as a third-round draft selection in 1953. At 6-9 and 265 pounds, St. Clair's mere presence on the football field tended to intimidate many opponents.
He was blessed with size, speed, intelligence and a genuine love of hitting and, using these traits to the maximum; his on-the-field trademarks became hostility, power, and strength. He was an outstanding blocker, both on passing plays and rushing attempts.
Particularly early in his career, he was used on defense in goal line situations. He also excelled on the special teams. In 1956, he was credited with an amazing 10 blocked field goals.
Extremely popular with the fans and his teammates, St. Clair served as the 49ers' team captain in 1957, 1958 and 1959. He was named first- or second-team All-NFL nine times and was selected to play in five Pro Bowls. St. Clair was tough and durable and often played in spite of severe injuries. But injuries eventually did cut short his career.
He was sidelined for a good part of the 1962 season with an Achilles tendon injury but he regained his All-Pro form in 1963. But a second Achilles tendon injury forced him to retire before the 1964 season.
Born in San Francisco, St. Clair decided to play college football at home at the University of San Francisco. When that school quit football after the 1951 season, he transferred to Tulsa, where he was an All-Missouri Valley Conference star. By joining the 49ers, St. Clair became the ninth member of the 1951 USF team to enter the pros.
His teammates nicknamed him "The Geek" because of several of his unusual lifestyle habits, such as eating all of his meat raw. He also became active in politics during his playing career and once served as the mayor of Daly City, California.

Another fabulous recipe! How do you come up with them? Have you had any luck cooking pasta in the crockpot? I've wanted to try it, but I'm scared of how it will turn out.

Did you throw in the bell peppers that are in the picture, but not the ingredients list? This sounds good ;)

I am going to have to try this!
For Kristintn who asked about pasta, I have donen pasta dishes two ways. First, cooked the pasta al dente before throwing it in the crock. And also cooking it entirely in the crock. Just make sure there is enough liquid and enough cooking time.
I have 3 crockpot lasagna recipes on my recipe blog.

De-lurking to ask if you could clarify the following: "cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. I cooked this for 8, and then clicked it over to low for another hour." Does this mean you cooked it on low for 9 hours? This looks yummy and will be tomorrow night's dinner--I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog.

Hi Casey, thanks for de-lurking! My crock has a warm function---where the food doesn't get cooked any longer, but just stays warm enough to eat for dinner later. If your crock doesn't have a warm setting, cook it on low and check after 6 hours. Some crockpots cook faster than others, etc.
I really liked this flavor combination. the vegetables were really yummy!

I am new to your blog but mmm yummy i looove my crockpot!
I made this one and it is delicious! I added a cup of rice and two cups of chicken broth because I am lazy and dont like to cook after I have made the crock pot stuff and it was amazing!!!
Thank you for the great crock pot ideas! I am now a loyal lurker!

Made this last night and it was fantastic! Stephanie you do ROCK - tonight we're going to try the Blue Cheese steak roll-ups - we're using YOUR recipies and crockpotting 4 nights this week - thanks again!

Hi! We have made many of your recipes since discovering your Blog back in the fall. What a life saver! For some reason I never noticed this particular recipe...but it sounds yummy! Any reason why I couldn't use chicken breasts instead of thighs? (I already have some frozen breasts I would like to use up)
- April 16, 2009 at 9:35 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi anon, the breasts will work just fine, but they have a tendency to dry a bit in the crockpot, sometimes.
You can help keep moisture in by not-overcooking, or by cooking long enough for the meat to shred in the liquid.

Yum - making this tonight!! Regarding the garlic, I'm unclear what "peel the entire head but leave the cloves intact" means??
- May 13, 2009 at 11:09 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
hi there! I just meant to peel the cloves, but no need to smash or chop the garlic at all.
I hope you like it!
- May 13, 2009 at 11:14 AM
Thank you Crockpot Lady! I have only two good crockpot recipes, and consequently don't use it all that much. However, my husband and I are making a huge effort to feed ourselves and our precious little ones more real food and less junk (we're ashamed that we haven't been doing better before now). I think your recipes will really help. I can't wait to try several of them--especially the balsamic chicken and vegetables. Blessings to you!

This was an awesome recipe! My while family loved it, even the kiddos. Looking forward to trying more!

Delicious new addition to our family's rotation! I wouldn't change a thing!Posted a link on my blog (again!)

- Brian and Becky said...
If I wanted to reduce the quantity of this reciepe (there are only 2 of us, and leftovers make me nuts), say, by cutting it in half - would you think it would take less time to cook?
- April 17, 2011 at 7:25 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Becky,
yes, it would take less time, because the slow cooker isn't as full. I'd check on your chicken after 4 hours on low, 2-3 hrs on high. If it's not moist/tender enough, you can take it out, cut it in a few pieces then return to the pot to soak up more juice.
- April 17, 2011 at 7:44 AM
- Tiff @ Love, Sweat, and Beers said...
I love this one! It's a great use for chicken thighs - very flavorful. I used soy sauce instead of worcestershire, but I'm sure both are great.
- May 31, 2011 at 7:16 AM
This is my first crock pot recipe. I have cooked for years, but never with a crock pot. I'm wondering if a) I can use a whole chicken, and b) if I start the crock pot on high for an hour and then turn to low for another 6 if that is long enough for a whole chicken. This recipe looks amazing and I'm sure my family will love it. I absolutely love Worcestershire and balsamic. Maybe I'll add curry powder next time :-)
Thank you!

I tried this for the second time today, and this time I'm using a flavored balsamic, a garlic cilantro balsamic I got from a little store in town called the Olive Cart (they have a website too!! theolivecart.com )Its still cooking right now but I've stolen a few zucchini pieces out, and the balsamic really gave it even more flavor.
- April 12, 2012 at 10:43 AM
- KatrinkaJane said...
Maybe I didn't salt & pepper enough, but this was kind of bland -- all the squash, perhaps? Any idea how much you used of the s&p? First CP365 recipe EVER where we didn't agree with your verdict! :p

Police: Bethune-Cookman basketball player arrested on marijuana, gun possession charges
Police say loaded handgun was in vehicle
Marc Mack, a prominent player on the Bethune Cookman's mens basketball team was arrested last Thursday night on charges of carrying a concealed weapon and being in possession of marijuana according to a police report.
The report shows that a little before 11 p.m. last Thursday Daytona Beach police observed a suspicious vehicle that was occupied with 4 persons located at Sickler Park.
Once police made contact with the vehicle, the driver, Mack, was asked to roll down his window, and that is when the report states that the officer noted a distinct smell of mairjuana.
Police said that a green leafy substance was in plain sight along with two "blunts" which prompted a search of the vehicle.
The search by police yielded a .45 gun along with a full magazine of ammo.

Video by Eric Brandner
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – It's a conference. But for many attendees, it's also a luxury.
Caregivers like Amanda Rytych, featured in the video below, rarely get away from their homes because their service member spouse requires around-the-clock care. The USO's second Caregivers Conference of 2013 brought more than 50 caregivers to the Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront to learn new strategies on how to work through challenging situations at home. Presenters like game on Nation's Steve Shenbaum, Stronger Families' Noel Meador and author and motivational speaker Trevor Romain shared coping and life enrichment strategies with caregivers, who are often pulled in several different directions while trying to keep their family on track.

Wednesday, 6/29/11
Just now I was out in the back garden, moving the sprinkler, and I paused for a few moments to admire and wonder about some of the mysterious new tree saplings that have appeared under the cheery and nectarine trees this year. (The new saplings are neither cherries nor nectarines.)
Hearing a slight rustle in the mint bed behind me, I turned and was surprised to see a fairly large toad on the ground about four feet from me, facing away from me.
The main part of its dark grey body was slightly larger than my fist, with its bulbous head and legs extending slightly from that main center lump. (It didn't really seem to have a neck to speak of.) As I watched for a few minutes, the creature — something about it said "toad" to me rather than "frog," but I don't know exactly what — hopped a few inches, paused for a minute or so, hopped and paused again, and in this way gradually moved over to another, less exposed part of the garden bed that has all the wild mint in it – the one under the apricot tree. As the toad passed through and paused in a sunny patch, I could see that its body was covered with irregular bumps and hollows – its skin was actually quite textured, though until it was spotlighted in the sunny patch, it had looked like nothing so much as an undistinguishable, sodden lump of mud. (Applied mindfulness lessons coming soon to a back yard near you!)
When the toad got to a well-protected, shady spot, it began intermittently rooting around in a desultory fashion, again making a motion or two and then stopping, returning to complete stillness after each minimal motion. Its stillness was definitely the larger portion of its stillness/motion ratio. (Maybe it's a Zen student toad.)
I had the distinct urge to go and find Joe's binoculars, and to set up an unobtrusive little naturalist's observation station. But my day is already planned out with many high-priority activities.
Like many busy people these days, I only have high-priority appointments and activities in my calendar. In fact, nothing even makes it into my calendar until it becomes a high priority, and all those important intentions take up pretty much every moment of every day. But my days rarely end up actually looking the way I've planned them; so there still seems to be some time and space available for spontaneous prioritizing in the moment. And yet somehow I don't feel nearly as in touch as I'd like to be with "the one who is not busy" . . .
Other than the birds high up in the trees (out of Jenna's immediate reach) and the cockroaches on the ground, I really don't get many opportunities to observe significant wildlife in our yards. The roadrunner that hung out with us for a year or two hasn't been back since Jenna became an outdoor cat. And even in other people's yards, the ones that we pass on our way to and from the co-op or Flying Star or Il Vicino, I've never seen a squirrel or even a gopher around here. So finding a toad in my back yard was pretty exciting! I wonder whether it will still be there after I get back from my Tai Chi class and my morning's errands . . . I hope I remember to look.
Love, Russ

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
The fourth of July is a celebration that usually brings together families and friends for a gathering with lots of barbecued food, cold drinks, laughter and fun memories. But not to be left out, the celebrations also include a wide assortment of fireworks, both big and small, that help make the festivities stand out from one another.
But for many cities around the country, fireworks are the very thing they worry about the most. One small spark or a small piece of heated material from a used firework can do plenty of damage in starting a fire. Wanting to avoid possible problems related to fireworks, the Sunnyside City Council on Tuesday passed a motion restricting the use of fireworks within the city limits to a paved lot near the city park. The ruling says that no fireworks may be discharged at or near any dwellings within the city.
Gene Madrid, Sunnyside fire chief, said the use of fireworks, including new ones approved by the state fire marshal, are hazardous for a rural area such as Sunnyside.
"As dry as it's getting out here, it's a worrying situation," he told the council.
Citing safety, the council agreed that having a designated fireworks area in the paved lot by the park would provide a controlled environment and a much safer atmosphere for people to enjoy the fireworks.
Madrid said the fireworks demonstration at the State Fire Convention two weeks ago was an "eye-opening experience" and he is worried that some of the newly approved fireworks, which can reach heights of over 100 feet, pose a danger to the city and its residents.
Significant changes in the Utah fireworks laws went into effect this year, including the permitted use of aerial fireworks. Some of them are known as "multiple tubes," "repeaters" or "cake" fireworks which look like professional displays and can travel to heights of 150 feet. While these types have been permitted, fireworks that are still banned from use include firecrackers, M-80s, cherry bombs, bottle rockets, Roman candles, single or re-loadable mortars, and ground salutes.
Even sparklers, one of the most iconic fireworks available, can be dangerous. The State Fire Marshal's office said that many children are burned each year from using sparklers, with the tips of the sparklers reaching a temperature of 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit which are hot enough to cause third-degree burns.
The city is also basing its decision off a recent memo sent out by the Attorney General's office regarding the fireworks discharge restriction for cities and counties. The memo states that any city, county or town has the ability to adopt an ordinance or regulation that restricts the use of fireworks in a designated part of the city. While the memo states that a county would have difficulty banning the discharge of fireworks altogether, they would have the option of creating a designated area for the use of fireworks in the interest of public safety.
Sunnyside Mayor Doug Parsons said he was concerned about people discharging fireworks near homes in the city. Because of the proximity of houses within the area, one problem could lead to many more, Madrid said. The fire department could place their fire trucks down at the parking lot on the fourth of July and would be ready to deal with any problems should they arise, he explained.
"My main concern is having people's houses get burned down," Madrid said. "It's more concerning than in years past with some of these new fireworks that have been approved."
While many cities in the state and around the country are adopting resolutions with the discharge of fireworks, others cities in Carbon County are taking a wait and see approach. Helper Fire Chief Mike Zamantakis said Helper has had some good luck over the years with little to no problems dealing with the use of fireworks.
"There have been instances in the past where people have set off fireworks that lead to a fire on a hill side near the city cemetery, but in recent years the fire department hasn't encountered a situation like that since," he said.
While they haven't dealt with many problems recently, Zamantakis said problems have been avoided because the police department is always on patrol during the night to watch around the town and the city has had a little luck on their side. He said the fire department would be on the lookout to see what fireworks are being sold locally and would leave open the possibility of taking action similar to Sunnyside if it is deemed necessary.
While the newly approved fireworks may scare fire departments, Price Fire Chief Paul Bedont said he didn't want to make any knee-jerk reactions. Bedont said the state has been dealing with the problem of people buying illegal fireworks in other states, including Wyoming, for years. He said kids have in recent years set fire to grass and other debris piles with fireworks, but the city hasn't dealt with any major problems lately.
Like Helper, Bedont said the city would still keep the option open to an ordinance similar to Sunnyside if there is a need to do so. While he is concerned people using fireworks could set fire to things such as debris piles, he hopes people using fireworks exercise caution using them around houses. He suggested that people discharge fireworks in paved areas such as a parking lot instead of an open field where the potential for problems is greater.
"Fireworks used appropriately, should be okay," Bedont said.
Because Sunnyside City does not have an official fireworks show due to costs, people are left to drive to Price or create a show for themselves. While they cannot prevent everyone from using fireworks, Madrid said he hopes that everyone exercises safety.

CSU Chancellor to Discuss Initiatives to Increase Latino Faculty at Association of Hispanics in Higher Education Conference
CSU Chancellor to speak about initiatives to increase Latino faculty at American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education conference
Clara Potes-Fellow, (562) 951-4806
American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education
(March 4, 2010) – CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed will share the podium with California Community Colleges Chancellor Jack Scott at the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education's Fifth Annual Conference, at 5:30 p.m., on Friday, March 5. The conference is being held at the Hilton Hotel in Costa Mesa, Calif.
Chancellor Reed will discuss systemwide initiatives to increase the pipeline of Latinos attending to and graduating from college, as well as the Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program, which offers loan forgiveness for doctoral degree holders who come to work as faculty at the CSU. Many Latino faculty members have come to the CSU through this route.
Currently, 8.2 percent of CSU's full-time faculty is Latino. The national average for Latino full-time faculty across all degree granting institutions is 3.6 percent.
Chancellor Reed will invite participants to share their ideas on what else the system can do in terms of recruitment and building better networks to increase Latino faculty.
The American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education (AAHHE) works to increase the pipeline of Hispanic faculty in higher education, bring issues pertinent to Hispanics to the attention of the larger academic community, and recognize the achievements of Hispanics in academe.
California State University, Fullerton President Milton A. Gordon and CSU Dominguez Hills President Mildred Garcia will speak at the conference's plenary session, at 12:45 p.m. on March 5.
SEO Words: CSU, Chancellor Reed, Latino higher education, American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education.
