Utah Housing Corporation (UHC) announced that it is offering $30 million of mortgage funds at a low 5.56 percent interest rate (one-half percent below market rate) to assist low- to moderate-income families purchase a home.
In addition to the 30-year fixed rate mortgage monies, UHC can also provide to these families financing for all of the down payment and closing cost monies needed to buy their home.
It is expected that 200 lower income families in both the Castle Valley and across Utah will be able to purchase a home with the assistance offered under this program.
The low interest rate under the UHC home-buying program is expected to save the typical Utah lower-income household as much as $15,000 in payments over the life of the loan.
Providing the monies for the down-payment and closing costs, that run about $7,800 on a typical modest home, allows these families to overcome the biggest obstacle in buying a home - their inability to put away enough savings to pay closing costs.
"Helping families in their pursuit of homeownership is the central objective of the Utah Housing Corporation," explained William Erickson, president of UHC. "Whenever we are able to move a family from an apartment into a home, it frees up that affordable apartment unit for the next family. With the shortage of affordable housing in Utah, this process is crucial to make more housing available."
Erickson pointed out that it is because of UHC's programs, among others, that nearly 73 percent of Utah households own their own home (as compared to the national average of only 68.4 percent).
This makes Utah's homeownership rate one of the highest of any state in the nation.

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) Disorder is a highly controversial issue. However, MCS is not an "allergy," but it is often confused with skin allergies, food allergies or nasal allergies.
In theory, MCS is an adverse physical reaction to low levels of some common chemicals. Chemical sensitivity is generally accepted as a reaction to chemicals but debate continues on whether MCS is classifiable as an illness. There are a number of synonyms for MCS, including "20th century disease," "environmental illness," "idiopathic environmental illness" and "chemical AIDS."
Proposed theories to explain the cause of MCS include dysfunction of the immune system (but not overreaction of the immune system, such as allergy), neurobiological sensitization, and various psychological theories. There is insufficient scientific evidence to confirm a relationship between any of these possible causes and symptoms. Due to the lack of definite information an evaluation must be performed by a physician knowledgeable of the symptoms of this condition.

If you're looking for a simple, cost-effective way to water your plants and garden without connecting the hose to the tap, a rain barrel can help you collect and recycle rainwater.
A quarter-inch of rain falling on an average home yields a little more than 200 gallons of water, filling a rain barrel in a matter of minutes. Rainwater is naturally softened, making it ideal for outdoor and indoor plants. It also won't leave spots when you wash cars or windows.
Not only does a rain barrel save on your water bill, it helps divert runoff into storm sewers and Iowa's waters.
Step-by-step instructions to build your own rain barrel

Purchase Reason
When faced with a narrow wall at the far end of the livingroom i wanted to hang art work with color and interest. My client loves Impressionism and ballet. I wanted a certain size and colors that enhance the rooms schemes. It was very easy to find images to present to my client and easy for herr to select images she loved the best.
Purchase Reason
This giclee version was bought to replace a 40 year old framed 'calendar' version originally selected by my late wife. She would have loved this since it brings new vibrancy to the subject and suits its location superbly.
The back label can be mis-leading with regard to whether it is actually glazed in glass or acrylic.
Note: this frame style is not sealed at the back. This information might well determine whether the frame is suitable for a particular location. I suggest that this data should be included routinely at the on-line specification and ordering stage.

Kindergarten at Weldon Springs
The first kindergarten at the Weldon Springs
Chautauqua was offered in 1904. Miss Helen L. Waggoner was employed by the
management to conduct the school. There were two sessions each day � one in
the morning and the other in the afternoon. The program admonished parents that
"children who attend the school should be very punctual. It is expected
that the sessions will open promptly at the minute. There should be no delay or
confusion because of a tardy pupil." The tent in which kindergarten was
held was located near the auditorium.
By 1908 Miss Fern Arbogast was the kindergarten
teacher. The program promised mothers respite and the knowledge that
"beyond the shadow of a doubt" their "child or children are safe
and secure in the keeping of one who will care for, entertain, instruct, soothe,
and sustain them in every childish emergency as your good mother would
yourself." Mothers were asked "Can you afford to deny yourself this
golden opportunity of shifting for a little while each Chautauqua Day the care
of your jewel into the hands of one so competent as is our kindergarten

Comments about Hal Leonard Best Acoustic Guitar Songs Ever Guitar Tab Songbook:
This is a great value. I got it because it has a wide range of acoustic songs. It has the Beatles, Tesla, Bob Seger, Led Zeppelin, etc. I got it even though at the time I couldn't read tab. I was looking at it about two days after I got it and it just clicked. So I guess this book helped me to learn to read tab and musical notation. A very good book overall.

Everyone with an ounce of app development experience has come up with something for either the iPhone or the Android, and even the FCC is getting in on the fun. The purpose of the app, according to their website, is to "provide Americans with additional information about their mobile data connection and create awareness about the mobile broadband connection quality. While some people might understandably be concerned with an app designed by the Feds installed on their phone, all the app really does is monitor data upload and download speeds. The FCC is set to release a new national broadband plan on 3/16, which will stress the need for improved cell phone data networks.
The data collected through this app will analyze geographical coverage and quality throughout the United States, essentially providing them an auditing tool for cell phone carrier claims and commercial coverage maps. It will also, quite simply, allow the user to see what kind of data speed they are getting from their cell phone carrier in specific locations. You can also find out the speed of your broadband connection by either turning on your cell phone WiFi, or checking out Broadband.gov. This information generally isn't as valuable for you as the end user, as you can't move a fixed connection for better coverage as you can with a cell phone.
Tests were recently conducted by the FCC in Seattle and Los Angeles, using a number of phones and carriers, and the results were a little surprising. Verizon's Droid in Seattle blew away all other results, registering 3G speeds of 1.71 MBPS downloads and .82 MBPS uploads. The iPhone in Los Angeles came in with speeds of 1.35 MBPS downloads and .21 uploads, while Google's Nexus One on T-Mobile in Seattle came in significantly slower at .29 MBPS downloads and .35 MBPS uploads.

Special Screening of Mead Festival Winner's Film "To The Light"
by AMNH on
In rural coal mining communities in China, miners face daily perils for slim rewards in a profession that claims an estimated 5,000 lives annually. Winner of the 2011 Margaret Mead Filmmaker Award Yuanchen Liu delved into this riveting story with his documentary To the Light, and as part of the Margaret Mead Traveling Film Festival, the film and Liu will return to the Museum on Thursday, May 17, at 6:30 pm for a special encore screening and discussion.
Extreme Fieldwork on the Bloody Bay Wall
by AMNH on
We wanted to include a panoramic image of a magnificent coralscape in Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence, and Bloody Bay Wall [off Little Cayman Island] was the perfect place.
But capturing Ansel Adams-like vistas are impossible under water, where sections of the light spectrum—especially reds—are absorbed within a meter. We need to get in very close to our subject and use flash photography to capture the reef 's true color. We have to repeat this process hundreds of times over the wall face. Then, the small consecutive images are painstakingly stitched together to create a life-sized, true-color view.

As Firefly Numbers Seem to Slide, Researchers Ponder Effects on Ecosystems
by AMNH on
Firefly larvae are voracious predators, feeding on snails, slugs, and earthworms and keeping ecosystems in delicate balance. Many are stocking up on food for their whole adulthood, throughout which they will never eat. Some climb trees in pursuit of arboreal snails. Others have gills like fish that allow them to dive for aquatic snails, whose shells they then use for protection like hermit crabs. In parts of Asia, a large mollusk called an apple snail has ravaged important crops such as rice, and firefly larvae are being explored as a potential form of biocontrol to protect those nations' food supply.

MASSENA While smoking on the steps of town hall could be viewed as disrespectful, it is not, at least at this time, against the law.
Theres always a great deal of confusion when it comes to the Clean Indoor Air Act, said Benjamin R. Todd, St. Lawrence County Tobacco Free Coalition program director. Im not aware of any language in the law that says there is a set distance required from the entrance of a building.
Mr. Todd said that is typically left up to municipalities to determine with their own ordinances.
Massena Police Chief Timmy J. Currier said Massena has no such law on the books, but that may change as town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray has recently voiced his displeasure with people smoking on the front town hall steps, which also happen to be outside his office window.
He suggests the town implement a ban that would prohibit smoking within 25 feet of the building.
Town Councilman Charles A. Chuck Raiti said one possibility is following in the countys footsteps and turning their town hall into a smoke-free campus.
Mr. Gray, however, said he views that as an extreme move.
I dont want to go crazy, he said. I just want them off the steps.

HENDERSON A town-wide tree lighting ceremony will be held for the first time today and will be dedicated to longtime residents Dick and Gladys Ross and their family.
The ceremony, sponsored by the Henderson Harbor Performing Arts Association, was planned by former Supervisor Frank W. Ross, who had served on the associations board since it began in 1996. Mr. Ross died in June at the age of 72.
Frank touched an awful lot of people in his lifetime, and the Ross family has lived here forever, said Eunice J. Wescott, the associations director.
Mr. Ross, a member of the Henderson Volunteer Fire Department for 55 years, last year planted the tree that will be used for the ceremony. Mrs. Wescott noted that she and Mr. Ross were the last remaining original members of the association.
This was something he had talked about doing for years, and never got around to, Mrs. Wescott said. Were going to do it and follow through for him.
Mr. Ross held several positions in town government dating back to 1972. He was supervisor from 1996 to 2007, and was deputy supervisor at the time of his death. He also served with the Henderson Historical Society and the Henderson Fish and Game Club.
Since being planted last year, the tree has grown to about six feet tall, meaning the tree can be covered with only a few lines of lights.
Im sure were going to need more as it gets bigger, Mrs. Wescott said. A plaque will be hung from the tree, inscribed with In memory of the Dick and Gladys Ross family.
A dedication speech at the ceremony is scheduled to be given by Jefferson County Legislator Barry M. Ormsby, while Mr. Rosss sister Ora Ditch will light the tree. Organizers are preparing to have about 100 in attendance.
After today, the tree lighting ceremony will become an annual event.
The ceremony will take place at 5 p.m. on the grounds of the Henderson Harbor Performing Arts Association, 12469 Harbor Road. A reception will follow immediately at the Henderson Community Building, 8939 Route 178.

Tampa, Florida -- UPDATE:Officials say tests conducted on various items of concern from the Port of Tampa Thursday afternoon confirmed the presence of a chemical used in explosive devices.
They foundMagnesium Nitrate Hexahydrate- which is said tobe used in fireworks, fertilizers and explosives-on a metal liquor pallet at the port.
Hillsborough Sheriff's officials say the compound by itself is not explosive, however, its presence on the pallet confirms the alert by multiple explosive detection dogs.
Technicians have reportedly finished their chemical analysis, and now plan to notify the Department of Homeland Security of the results.
The cruise line, they say, has already been notified.
Hillsborough Sheriff's officials retained samples of the substance, but reportedly no plans to take additional action at this time.
Fun times aboard the Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas weredelayed Thursday after bomb-sniffing dogs alerted on a pallet of liquor about to be loaded on the ship.
"A K9 unit alerted on a box, contained on a pallet that had been delivered from Miami," said Col. Jim Previtera of the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office.
Terminal 3 was evacuated and the area around the ship secured as bomb squadtechnicianswearing protective suits and their robots went to work.
Dogs also alerted on a truck of supplies from that same Miami warehouse and that cargo also had to be gone through piece by piece.
In the meantime, passengers eager to start their cruise to Cozumel waited for hours on the streets around the terminal. The Florida Aquarium let cruise passengers while away their time there for free. And while passengers tried to make the best of the situation, for some the discovery was a bit unsettling.
"It has because of what else is going on," said Sharon Alvarez of Tampa. "But we know whatever it is they'll search it out and I'll feel safe when they let us on."
The bomb squad truck did haul away a few items for further examination, but in the end their exhaustive search found nothing dangerous.
"There was no device found, no explosive material found, but that doesn't mean the dogs erred or were wrong," said Previtera.
He explained that they might have smelled odors left behind on the pallet or in the truck from a previous shipment.
With the investigation wrapping up, by mid-afternoon passengers began the boarding process. Their fun was delayed, but not destroyed.
"We went over to Channelside and had lunch. It was no problem at all," said one man about to get on board. According to Royal Caribbean, the ship was expected to depart at 6:30 p.m. That's only a couple of hours behind schedule and the delay will not impact the cruise itinerary.
Royal Caribbean International released the following statement regarding the incident:
"Earlier today, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office investigated a suspicious package located on the dock at the Port of Tampa. In an abundance of caution, the Sheriff's Office evacuated the terminal building Royal Caribbean uses to check in guests sailing on Jewel of the Seas. They also requested that no one board the ship at this time.
Once the Sheriff's Office completed their investigation, guests were allowed back into the terminal and check in began. The ship will depart Tampa at 6:30 p.m. this evening. The delayed departure will not impact the ship's itinerary. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may cause our guests.
Jewel of the Seas is sailing a four-night itinerary that departs Tampa, Florida, today, April 18, and calls to Cozumel, Mexico."

Hello,now that I've done some more reading,I see that I should tell you a little more about me.
47 yrs old, drank for 35yrs.had a 6 yr stint without alcohol or drugs from 92-96.
PEOPLE thought I had a problem with alcohol.Checked in for 3 days.Researched the disease,learned the physiological problem,wow! solved!
Just don't drink,life will be grand.I graduated.
Thought the program was great for people who needed it,not me of course.Step one,all that applied to me was powerless,no problem,just don't drink.
Went to some meetings,discussed the program with a good friend in the same boat. WE concluded that you people bummed us out with all of your depressing stories,not for us,happy it was there for YOU sick people.
Character defects? Me? No way!,I loved me.Surrender,why?
Told in counseling that I didn't do enough for me,always doing for others.Easy fix,good news.
Released to the world with a mission.Do more for me.sounds like fun. First order of business,new wheels.Flew to Chicago,bought a ferrari with my projected Vodka savings,COOL,I like this sobriety stuff.Had approval from my 5 yr old son so I knew I was doing the right thing,heck he even chose a nicer model for me.
Now time to get serious,more is better so I got another one.it was a race car so I did the only logical thing.went to training and became a race driver.Adrenaline! NICE! This is for me.Expensive? Yep.What to do,must fund the new addiction.Easy,start more companies,make more money.
Won't bore you with more details of exploits,same MO just lots more much bigger and better.Remember,I need more.Always felt anything worth doing is worth over doing in the eyes of those normal people,wimps you know.
Well,sh.t hit the fan after 6 yrs.No fellowship,no real support,lots of impulsive decisions,big trouble. Wow! lots of new Vodkas on the market in the last six years.Better get started,good place to hide.
Worked on living my own depressing stories for 6 more years.Easy to get back in 'the circle of hell' Detox grew from 0 to 10 days,medical necessity.Supposed to die,empty promise from the docs.just kept living( actually dieing) and drinking.Did the rehab tour,hospitalized 14 times in 18 months.barely had time to drink in between,but I did with a vengence.Couple DUI's never before, who'd a thunk it?Still had my bike,no problem.Son took my bike wheel so I couldn't ride to the liquor store,no problem,I walked,excersize is good you know.
Last drunk,by myself at home,sat, day and night,all the same to me.woke up sun. in bed.Very sore,oh sh.t more broken bones I bet.Who knows how or what. Got a ride to hospital ER.Yep,broke an ankle and a rib.They new me by name by now,very nice,wanted me to stay for detox.Thanked them and said " just give me some lib for home,I must get sober in the real world,easy for me as inpatient,with meds of course,have to do it on the outside" April 24,2005
I came to the realization that I am not going to just get drunk and die,too easy.God is just going to break me up piece by piece until I surrender.
Things are now going great.lots of new real friends,they care and I care about them.lots of defects to pray on everyday to keep in check.Never alone,God is always with me.Sh.t still happens,my reaction and perception is all that counts.Most problems are between my ears.Let go Let God is Great! don't have to fix everything,don't have to make things happen anymore,just do my best and LET them happen.
I could write for days,remember,moderation is new for me.
Glad to be here with so many good people.
Our Father who ...............Amen

NEWPORT CITY - The Newport City Elementary School Board will ask voters to approve a school budget with a 6.44 percent increase. The board presented the proposed budget to the city council Monday evening.
Principal Stephen Earley said the city school board is asking for slightly more than the state average, which is a 5.5Â percent increase.
"We are unique in that we're growing," said Earley. "It's not just little growth; we are growing a good deal."
More students mean more state reimbursement.

When the Chicago History Museum reached out to the Fire to take part in an even commemorating the "Great Chicago Fire" of 1871 Tuesday, I thought it was a great idea.
Even better was when I was asked to join Fire midfielder Brendan King (who is currently on the mend with a hamstring injury) to take part and tell why October 8 is not only significant to the city of Chicago but also to our club.
So there I was, notes prepared to discuss the events of 1871 and 1997 with the assembled group of third and fourth graders. Brendan, the professional soccer player, was there to field the tougher questions about you know being a professional soccer player but not before this fantastic photo-op with Mrs. O'Leary's Cow...
Joined by a representative from the Chicago Fire Department, we stepped to the stage in front of the mass of elementary school children and the first question went to us...
Was it about the history of the Fire?
No. Rather it was, "How many games have you won this year?"
Both Brendan and I couldn't get the words out fast enough to say, "We've won 12 so far and we just beat D.C. United 3-0 on Friday!"
A loud applause emanated from the crowd!
But then something happened. Husky looking men dressed in black and yellow regalia strolled up the aisle way. Were they members of the Columbus Crew coming to crash the party?
A closer look saw them carrying axes and other tools... Ah shoot, they must be actual firemen...
These guys were dressed in their full uniform and you could tell they've carried a room before... I leaned to Brendan and said, "I wonder if we get another question this entire panel?"
After about 26 questions relating to smoke inhalation and whether you should run or crawl out of a fire, Sparky, who was late arriving to one of two Sweet 16 parties for himself today, finally showed up and regained the room for the club! Way to go Sparky!
With some attention back on the club, Brendan and I finally received the question we'd been waiting for from an astute child in the front row: "Why do you call yourselves the Fire?"
- HISTORY: Why we're named the Chicago Fire...
Let's just say we hit it out of the park, mesmerizing the gathered youths with the story of our launch on this day 16 years ago at Navy Pier and telling them how our club tied itself to the city's history from day one.
Of course, young children have short attention spans so we got asked the question a few more times but it was all to drive the message of the Fire's tie to the city of Chicago home.
What a great event! Thanks to the Chicago History Museum for asking us to take part!

On this day 142 years ago, the Great Chicago Fire began in our city. Long after the rebuilding had been finished, on this day 16 years ago, the Chicago Fire Soccer Club (NOT the Chicago Rhythm) was founded at iconic Navy Pier, immediately tying the newest MLS franchise to one of the city's most defining historical events.
Today, as we do every year, we recognize the legacy not only of the city of Chicago but of the 16 years of our club and we hope you'll join us tonight at the Toyota Park Stadium Club to do so.
Until then, here are a few Fire related 16s…
The men who wore 16...
Josh Wolff (1998-2002), Andy Williams (2003-2004), Will John (2005), Brian Plotkin (2006-2007), Marco Pappa (2008-2012), Brendan King (2013- )
Not only...
…did Williams and Pappa wear #16 throughout their Fire tenures, both also racked up 16 regular season assists in their time with the club.
Did you know...?
Neither Fire legends Lubos Kubik (1998-2000) and Cuauhtemoc Blanco (2007-2009) wore 16 but both scored 16 MLS regular season goals and it was the attacker Blanco who tallied more from the spot?
The Mexican World Cup veteran edged Kubik 7-5 in penalty kicks converted for the Fire.
Former Fire goalkeeper Matt Pickens racked up 16 wins with the Fire between 2004-2007. The tally his fourth most among Fire goalkeepers behind Zach Thornton (109), Sean Johnson (39) and Jon Busch (25).
When he appears on Saturday, Sean Johnson will tie DaMarcus Beasley for 16th on the club's all-time MLS appearance list at 98 games played.
Current Fire defender Gonzalo Segares sits seventh on the club's all-time U.S. Open Cup appearance list with 16 games played while…
…former Fire defender C.J. Brown holds the record for most international appearances (CONCACAF & SuperLiga) with 16.
It's been an honor to be part of this club for four of its historic 16 seasons. Here's to many more. See everyone tonight and HAPPY SWEET 16 FIRE!
The Chicago Fire Soccer Club and Fire Foundation are happy to support the Chicago Department of Public Health in encouraging residents to get a flu shot and stay healthy this winter.
On Monday morning, Chicago Fire defender Gonzalo Segares joined Dr. Bechara Choucair, CDPH Commissioner, and Anna Esquivel, CDPH RN, at the Little Village Community Council for a press event unveiling CDPH billboard, print and CTA flu shot awareness ads featuring Segares and other prominent Chicago sports figures including Mike Ditka, and Elena Delle Donne and Sylvia Fowles, both from the Chicago Sky.
Segares received his annual flu shot from CDPH Immunization Medical Director Julie Morita, M.D and the Department also administered free flu shots at the event for Little Village Community members.
Gonzalo was interviewed by FOX 32 and Univision telling reporters that – "I've got to stay healthy for my long season, and I always get my shot once a year. It's definitely encouraging for people to come over and get theirs."
Gonzalo wasn't the only celebrity at the event as the Fire's mascot Sparky also "received" his flu shot.
The annual shot is the best protection against influenza and we want all our fans to be safe, especially during the colder off season. Check out the photos for more and keep an eye out for the ads throughout Chicagoland!

The Fire and a few other results went their way this weekend. Still, the Men in Red remain just below the red line, two points back of the final playoff spot in the East with three matches left to play.
A breakdown of the weekend and what it means for the current Eastern Conference playoff picture…
x - 1) New York Red Bulls
Current Points: 53 (15-9-8)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: DDWWW (11pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 10-2-4 / 5-7-4
Maximum Possible Pts: 59
Average Opponents Pts: 45.0
Remaining Schedule: 10/20 @ HOU, 10/27 vs. CHI
Rundown: New York held a long lead, controversy ensued, New England went up 2-1 late only to see Tim Cahill bag an incredible header to see Red Bull walk away with a 2-2 draw and eventually become the first team in MLS to clinch a playoff berth.
Still, the game will feel like a missed opportunity at home for a team still hoping to win the Supporters Shield and lock down the Eastern Conference top seed. The result is disappointing from a Fire perspective for two reasons: 1) It gives New England an extra point and 2) It almost assuredly makes Red Bull's home game vs. the Fire on October 27 all the more meaningful.
New York will take a break off this week before visiting high-flying Houston on October 20.
2) Sporting KC
Current Points: 51 (15-10-6)
Games Remaining: 3 (1 home / 2 away)
Last 5: WLWWW (9pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 8-5-3 / 7-5-3
Maximum Possible Pts: 60
Average Opponents Pts: 35.6
Remaining Schedule: 10/9 at HOU, 10/18 vs. D.C., 10/23 vs. OLI**, 10/26 @ PHI
Rundown: Sporting KC did exactly what they needed to do, getting a well-earned 1-0 victory at Columbus Saturday night. The result means Sporting has earned just three points less on the road than they have at home this season – a somewhat incredible away record in MLS terms.
KC controls their own destiny for Eastern Conference top spot but faces a very tough test Wednesday vs. a Dynamo side that jumped up to third this weekend. A Sporting win in that match automatically puts them into the playoffs but they can also make it with a combination draw and Fire draw or loss would also do the trick.
3) Houston Dynamo
Current Points: 47 (13-10-8)
Games Remaining: 3 (2 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: WWWLD (10pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-3-3 / 4-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 58
Average Opponents Pts: 39.7
Remaining Schedule: 10/9 vs. SKC, 10/20 vs. NY, 10/24 @ AU**, 10/27 @ D.C.
Rundown: Houston continued their climb up the table with their third straight win Friday vs. Montreal. Things looked bleak for the Dynamo in early September but the side now seems destined to once again reach the playoffs and with back-to-back matches vs. Sporting KC and New York, their ascent might not stop at third place.
All we can say is, typical Houston Dynamo…
4) Montreal Impact
Current Points: 46 (13-10-7)
Games Remaining: 4 (2 home/ 2 away)
Last 5 Games: LDLLW (4pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 9-3-3 / 4-7-4
Maximum Possible Pts: 58
Average Opponents Pts: 39.5
Remaining Schedule: 10/12 vs. NE, 10/16 @ LA, 10/19 vs. PHI, 10/26 @ TFC
Rundown: Montreal fell again 1-0 at Houston Friday night, moving the side that spent much of the regular season at the top of the East all the way down to fourth place. The Impact still hold a game in hand on everyone and both of their remaining home matches are six-pointers against New England (this week) and Philadelphia (October 19). If they can recover from their down form and win those games, they should still be in the playoffs.
5) Philadelphia Union
Current Points: 45 (12-10-9)
Games Remaining: 3 (1 home / 2 away)
Last 5 Games: WWLLD (7pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-4-5 / 5-6-4
Maximum Possible Points: 54
Average Opponents Pts: 37.3
Remaining Schedule: 10/12 @ D.C., 10/19 @ MTL, 10/26 vs. SKC
Rundown: There was a point Saturday night in which it looked like all three Eastern Conference games would go the Fire's way, then Kleberson's 96th minute free kick happened, giving Philadelphia a crucial 1-0 home win over Toronto FC.
With that win, the Union stayed above the red line, two points ahead of the Fire with three matches remaining. Philly will look to take advantage of Saturday's game at lowly D.C. before having to close with tough matches at Montreal and vs. Sporting KC.
6) Chicago Fire
Current Points: 43 (12-12-7)
Games Remaining: 3 (1 home / 2 away)
Last 5 Games: WDLWD (7pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 9-4-3 / 3-7-4
Maximum Possible Pts: 52
Average Opponents Pts: 40
Remaining Schedule: 10/12 @ FCD, 10/19 vs. TFC, 10/27 @ NY
Rundown: The Fire did the business with a 3-0 win at D.C. on Friday night and if not for Kleberson's late free kick in Philly, would have sat in fifth place to end the weekend.
The Fire visit FC Dallas who kept their quite slim Western Conference playoff hopes alive with a 1-1 draw vs. Real Salt Lake Saturday. With the Galaxy destroying Chivas USA and even Vancouver picking up a point vs. Portland Sunday, it doesn't look good for Dallas, who are seven points out of the final playoff spot with three games to go, meaning a loss Saturday would officially be there end of the season.
On the other hand, the Fire are 3-12-2 all-time in Dallas and will go for their second straight away win on Saturday – a feat the team has achieved just once in the past four seasons. A win in Frisco will put the Fire in prime position with a home match vs. Toronto looming.
7) New England Revolution
Current Points: 42 (11-11-9)
Games Remaining: 3 (1 home / 2 away)
Last 5 Games: DDWLL (5pts)
2013 Home/Away Record: 7-5-4 / 4-7-4
Maximum Possible Points: 51
Average Opponents Pts: 42.6
Remaining Schedule: 10/12 @ MTL, 10/19 vs. CLB, 10/27 @ CLB
Rundown: New England were no doubt the biggest losers from this weekend's results, scoring two goals to go up 2-1 late only to have Cahill's 96th minute header serve as a huge gut punch. A visit to Montreal, who are also coming off a loss at Houston, looms quite large and defeat in Quebec could do serious damage to the Revs' playoff hopes.
Still, the home-and-home vs. Columbus to close the season will keep things interesting for the Revolution and at the very least, likely keep them in the mix until the final weekend.
8) Columbus Crew
Current Points: 41 (12-15-5)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home / 1 away)
Last 5 Games: LWWWL (9pts)
2013 Home / Away Record: 7-6-3 / 5-9-2
Maximum Possible Points: 47
Average Opponents Pts: 42
Remaining Schedule: 10/19 @ NE, 10/27 vs. NE
Rundown: As great as the Crew's run under interim head man Brian Bliss was, all it would take was another loss to deal a horrible blow to their playoff hopes. The Crew will now take their bye week but they need to win their remaining two matches and hope for major help around the East in order to make the playoffs.
There's still a chance but it's just not very good.

Select shots from the Fire's win over D.C. United presented by MiAllstate
After a disappointing September, the Fire head to the Capitol to face a D.C. United squad still on cloud nine after their shock upset of Real Salt Lake in the 100th U.S. Open Cup final Tuesday evening (LIVE 7pm CT on NBCSN). D.C.'s win combined with the Fire's erratic away form means this game is very difficult to predict.
Here are some things to look out for a tactical perspective…
Forcing disruptions in the D.C. backline – not allowing them to act as a unit
In many games this season, D.C.'s opponents have stretched their backline, causing a number of errors. One example of this is forcing a central defender out of the middle and out wide. Another is forcing the defenders deep into their own half.
In D.C.'s recent match against New England, the Revs' attack forced United to drop deeper and deeper, allowing players like Kelyn Rowe free shots from outside the box because defenders didn't step up to challenge them.
In the Fire's last MLS match against D.C., Joel Lindepere played some brilliant balls over the top of the United defense to the Fire strikers who were onside due to a combination of good runs and poor organization by the D.C. backline.
With the titanic effort put in on Tuesday night in Salt Lake, D.C. will almost certainly be making changes in defense but no matter who gets the start, the Fire players must be prepared to hound United's backline from the first whistle and force them into making mistakes.
Changes to the Fire team – a more attacking starting eleven needed
In the first half of last weekend's match against Montreal, the Fire set up too cautiously for my liking, most notably in the middle of the field where Logan Pause and Arevalo Rios played their first game together. Both players excel at breaking up the play but without Larentowicz or a more attacking player in the middle, the Fire were lacking in the attack.
Coach Frank Klopas recognized this and made two changes at halftime which completely turned the game around. The introduction of Alex and Chris Rolfe sparked the Men in Red into life offensively and but for some better luck, the team would have walked away with three points.
Bakary Soumare should return to the backline after his suspension, allowing Larentowicz to slot back into the midfield. Alex made big impact from the bench last week and starting him in front of Dilly Duka would give the Fire another dimension in the attack with his linkup play with Magee and Anangonó excellent in recent matches.
Duka has looked a little weary of late which isn't a surprise considering he has started seven more matches this season than he did for the Crew throughout the whole of last season, already playing almost 500 more minutes with four games and potential playoff games to come.
A focus on Luis Silva – the former TFC man should start after being a sub in Salt Lake
Luis Silva came on for veteran Dwayne DeRosario with 15 minutes left to play in Tuesday's Open Cup final and according to Washington Post journalist Steven Goff, Silva should get the start tonight.
Silva is comfortable playing as the lone striker or in the number 10 role, just behind the advanced forward.
As I mentioned in my tactical preview for the U.S. Open Cup semifinal, Silva and DeRo rely on their wide players to support the attack which allows Silva to get into the box and feed on crosses instead of having to drop deep and try and creature from there.
That being said, Silva is not afraid to take a shot from distance as Fire fans will remember, he scored a stunning 25 yard curler into the top corner against the Men in Red in July. The next week he also struck from distance, hitting a low bullet into the bottom corner against New England at RFK Stadium.
D.C. have scored a league low 20 goals this season and if the Fire can keep Silva under wraps tonight it will help keep the Red and Black off the score sheet.
Prediction: I have no idea what D.C. team we are going to see tonight but for all the talk of playing playoff spoiler, I think their minds will still be at Rio Tinto Stadium. 3-0 Fire with goals from Magee, Anangonó, and Berry.
MLSsoccer.com's Matt Doyle and Dan Haiek give the key things to look for in Friday night's game vs. D.C. United (LIVE 7pm CT on NBC Sports Network).

After a solid season of softball from the Carbon Lady Dinos, it was two innings that took them out of a chance to advance to the state finals. In the first game against Cedar City it was a five-run sixth that handed them a 3-7 loss. In the consolation game it was a 12-run first that finished them off with a 16-2 season-ending defeat. Despite the scores, the girls played some good ball against some pretty good teams but just came up short in the end.
The Lady Dinos jumped out on top in the first game with Cedar. They were up two to one into the fourth when Cedar tied it up. Both squads were scoreless in the fifth. Carbon pitcher Kenzie Cave gave up a two run homer in the sixth and then Cedar put together a string of hits to push three more over. Carbon was unable to match it on offense in the top of the seventh, but did get one final run.
The Lady Dinos had 10 hits in the game, but just couldn't parlay them into scoring. Cave and Brianne Vogrinec connected for doubles. Darrian Smith smashed a triple. Chelsea Bullings had three hits in the game.
In the consolation game against Emery, Coach Tony Pinedo had to make a tough choice. Pitcher Breanna Hurdsman had sprained her ankle earlier in the week. Kenzie Cave had just finished throwing a complete game against Cedar. Cave stepped up and felt like she could go another game.
The Spartans took advantage of Cave's tired arm and quickly began putting up runs. A tough call that could have ended the inning did not go Carbon's way and Emery continued to do damage. Hurdsman came in despite her injury and finally got them out of the inning, but Carbon faced an insurmountable 12-0 deficit.
Taking that half of an inning out of the equation, the Lady Dinos played the rest of the game tough and the scoring was 4-2, Emery, for the final four innings. Hurdsman stayed in to finish despite being hit on the injured ankle while batting.
Pinedo was disappointed that the team was not able to win one of the two to advance. He knows that they could beat many of the teams still in the mix, but he added, "That's the nature of softball."
He went on to praise his entire squad for their play all season and is really looking forward to having most of the team back again next year. But he also had some good words for both of his pitchers and their efforts in the final two games of the season.

A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I went over to Colorado to do some river rafting on the Arkansas River. It was an organized activity associated with his work, so we had some local individuals guide us down two different sections of the river.
It was a much different river experience that I was used to. I have mainly rafted on the Colorado and the Green River. The sections I am used to running travel through some pretty remote areas and you don't often see roads, let alone houses.
The section of the Arkansas we ran literally ran past the backyards of houses and small ranches. As our guides took us down river they talked about the conflicts and solutions to the issues of recreationists and private landowners. They have a way to go on settling things, but are sure making some great progress.
But the thing about the trip I most remember is the attitude of the community. We talked to many different people who lived in Salida and the surrounding area and they raved about their community. We didn't run into one person who complained about their town. We heard about the high cost of housing and some other issues, but people seemed genuinely proud to live there. This came from long time residents to some younger people who chose to stay and live in Salida because they enjoyed it.
How do we present our community to outsiders? At least to each other we don't celebrate our community. I hear complaining and whining about a lot of things. I have to say I have done it myself. We do have problems and issues.
But the question is are we willing to do something about them? When was the last time you called a city council member? Do you even know who they are? And what about the county commissioners?
Of course, it is one thing to complain about an issue. It is another to have the courage to present a solution. How would you handle the problem? What would you do different from what is being done now? Don't be afraid that someone will not like what you have to say, you may just be the one to get the ball moving in the right direction.
The biggest way to make your voice be heard is to vote. We have municipal election coming up soon. If there is one place in this country where your vote does count it is in local elections. If you are not registered, get it done by going to the courthouse. We could make a huge statement to the rest of Utah and the nation if we all voted. Carbon County could wield some great political power just in that accomplishment. Often people we don't like get into power because we are too apathetic to get out and vote.
I have no real expectations that everyone will vote. I just hope some of you do.
And call someone and let them know how things are going.

Thanks in advance.
This game is absolute trash, the company can care less of you if you don't spend money on the game. I personally spent over 600USD on the game in 3 years and the company paid little attention to me when I was sending in hack reports. The population of foreign people is over whelming. There is SO many people cheating everywhere, I would recommend choosing another game. I quit btw before I get stupid replies.
This was a really really god game with Diablo-esque game play, and a decent community. Then the game was updated to 2.0 and heavily advertised and it started filling up with overseas players, gold sellers, and casual players who didn't care if they spent money on the game to get ahead. The game balance has been thrown way off by in-game "lotteries" in which you can trade purchased items for a chance to win incredibly powerful items that allow people in really low lvls to dominate characters much higher than themselves. I would suggest not wasting your time with this one, its not worth it to put real money into the game either, the game is broken in so many ways and the GameDevs don't care to fix it because it makes them money.
cash shop>skill
thats all.
I think this is a pretty good game original set up.. hard to match in other games, ofcourse most games all contain the same concept.. But I deffinitely think thsi game is worth a shot, whether you choose to buy your way to succeeding or not its still a decent game with constant new quest and items among other things such as a new class, to keep you coming back. (btw, spending real cash is not needed to be successful in this game). You are givin tons of chances to do well and get what you may desire in game play:P.
so I think its safe to say I enjoy this game alot altho after reborning twice.. the thrill begins to wear.. so that said try it maybe youwill like it and if not uninstall..
this game used to be great back in the day as others have said. but now its impossible to enjoy unless you spend a ton of money on dragon balls. the community sucks too.
I remember back in the 1.0 day, guilds were fun to join and some guilds would have rivalies and stuff. it was almost like being in an old kung fu movie.
but now its just grinding for pretty much nothing. (im 90% sure meteor and dragon ball drop rates have went down way too low to actually get any). You can grind all day for gold, but people either want millions and millions of gold, or C P (which requires money).
So if you dont want to spend money (which isnt worth it at all) you're stuck buying weapons and armor from NPCs
i spent 30 dollars myself on this game and reqret it, even though its only 30 bucks. my account has a lot of high lvl items and such, but its just siiting there, cause the game iteself is crap now
Horrible community....... everyone is so bitter and it's annoying.
She knows how to party.
