I have been teaching for over 20 years and still love it! Over the course of my career, I have taught several grade levels. I love the sense of humor children have, and I feel so grateful that I can spend every day with them!
I believe that children learn best when they are having fun. Lessons should never be monotonous; they need to be visually appealing, challenging, and motivating. My students can never predict which teaching tricks I have up my sleeve, and I like it that way. It keeps them engaged! Creativity and a sense of humor are integral parts of my teaching style. I also enjoy incorporating art and music into my lessons when possible.
Although I have received honors/awards from both my university and school district, my greatest honor is hearing former students (many of whom are now adults) tell me I made a difference in their lives or inspired them. Some have even returned to tell me they want to become (or have become) teachers because of me. I can't think of anything better!
I am constantly learning and growing as an educator. In addition to my own graduate and postgraduate studies, I am always looking for new professional development opportunities.
I hope you enjoy my products as much as I enjoy creating them for TpT!

The Arabian Nights
1973–74. Italy. Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini. With Franco Merli, Ines Pellegrini, Ninetto Davoli, Franco Citti."The film offers itself as the prototype of 'pure' narration: that is, of narratives that live off of one another, that are embedded in one another to such an extent that it is often impossible to determinate the containing tale from the contained. Il fiore will reproduce the image of the self-generating tales of the original text, and yet its expulsion of the original frame-tale, the story of Scheherazade, is a function of Pasolini's refusal to trace a possible outer limit to narration within the film itself" (Patrick Rumble, "Stylistic Contamination in the Trilogia della vita: The case of Il fiore delle Mille e una notte," in Pier Paolo Pasolini: Contemporary Perspectives, 1994).

CANTON After accepting a plea deal last month, former Gouverneur resident Michael F. Lewis was sentenced Monday to 9 to 13 years in state prison in connection with the July 2009 death of his grandmother in a traffic accident, ending a legal saga marked by an appeal of his original sentence.
Mr. Lewis was driving on Garrison Road in Pitcairn on July 18, 2009, when he lost control of his pickup truck and crashed into a telephone pole. Irene D. Layboult, 70, Pitcairn, who was his passenger, died the next day at Upstate Medical University, Syracuse.
A toxicology report found that Mr. Lewis had drugs in his system at the time of the accident.
In December 2009, Mr. Lewis, then of 65 Austin St., Gouverneur, pleaded guilty in St. Lawrence County Court before Judge Jerome J. Richards to second-degree vehicular manslaughter. He also pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree burglary in connection with a June 2008 burglary in the village of Potsdam.
Before he was due to be sentenced in January 2010, Mr. Lewis violated his probation by drinking alcohol and violating a protection order held by a family member.
Judge Richards refused to sentence Mr. Lewis to concurrent terms and sentenced him to a total 81⁄3 to 13 years in state prison for the two cases. If Mr. Lewis had not violated probation, he would have been sentenced to about six years.
Mr. Lewis appealed, which resulted in a vacated sentence and a return to County Court. On Jan. 13 he entered a guilty plea that resulted in essentially the same sentence he would have faced three years ago, but not without some rumblings that irritated the judge and grieving relatives.
Judge Richards said probation officials reported that Mr. Lewis, 33, told them he already was considering an appeal of the new sentence.
Its not a game here, the judge said, warning that he could vacate the plea and well have a trial.
As she did in 2010, Vicki L. Layboult, Mrs. Layboults daughter, gave a victim impact statement.
It was you who killed my mother, and nobody but you, she said. Your sentence is nothing compared with what you did to my mother.
I am very sorry for what happened, Mr. Lewis said.
The judge also sentenced him to $13,251 in restitution and $695 in fines and fees.
Also in County Court on Monday:
n Dwain A. Mashaw, 33, Ogdensburg, was sentenced to 1 to 4 years in state prison in connection with a felony DWI plea after twice failing to show up for substance abuse treatment and violating his release by testing positive for cocaine and other substances.
n Terry A. Derouchie, 46, Massena, was sentenced to two concurrent five-year probation terms and $1,120 in restitution and $375 in fines and fees in connection with a 2009 incident in which he punched a St. Lawrence County sheriffs deputy in the face during a dispute following a Family Court hearing.
n Jennifer Warren Kari, 25, Balmat, received five years probation for an insurance fraud case in which she reported her car stolen to state police in 2011 when she actually had given permission to someone to get rid of it. The car was found in Syracuse the same day destroyed by a fire.
Judge Richards noted that Mrs. Kari had cooperated fully with probation and had begun paying restitution, with about $22,000 remaining, and was credited for one year of probation served.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
The happiest day of her life started with the fact that her legs would not wake up. "No matter what I tried, I just felt that my legs were heavy as never before," Mikaela Shiffrin said. Even the natural adrenaline rush of the first run didn't help Mika's tired muscles. Neither did third place after the first run. Mikaela Shiffrin, representing a new level of ease in skiing, usually does not know heaviness. "Hot chocolate. I drank hot chocolate", the new world champions responded to the question what had finally pushed her to one of her power runs.
"Suddenly, the vigor was back in my legs and my head was clear. I imagined how my skis would carry me down this course." This is how she described the moments before the start of the most important race and victory of her career. "Ride Redster, skiing, this is the only essential thing." One enjoys listening to the exciting way in which the only 17-year-old talks about skiing. "It is like dancing or flying; a lot of comparisons come to my mind." What is it like to be world champion? "I can think of no comparison." What is more: "I am one of many that won today. We all won – the whole team that has been supporting me. My parents, coaches, teachers, sponsors, the Atomic crew, everyone."
Also for Michaela Kirchgasser this 16 February in Schladming was the best day of her career. "My first individual medal is something special, together with the gold medal in the team event it is a dream." After being hit by two poles in the second run her goggles got out of place. She didn't lose her focus – on the contrary, "It got louder at any red line, at any intermediate time. Speed, speed, speed, that was what I was thinking. The five minutes in the finish that I had to wait for the end of the race were like an emotional rollercoaster ride. I can not even explain it." She was very clear about how she acted differently compared to previous major events, "Whenever I wanted to prove something to myself, I messed up. So this time I only thought: Just race!"

The Young Rider program is offered through the USEA for riders twenty-one years of age and younger of all levels of riding. The purpose of the program is to encourage our younger members to become involved in the sport of Eventing and continue this involvement into their adult lives. Our organization seeks to promote a love of the sport, as well as an appreciation and understanding of the horse while fostering the wonderful relationship that can develop between horse and rider. Further, involvement in this program helps to instill important moral values, such as responsibility and work ethic, as young riders grow into mature adults.
This program is divided into ten Areas throughout the country, and each Area program is facilitated by a volunteer Young Rider Coordinator. Each coordinator oversees the program for his/her Area and sets up different educational and developmental activities their young riders to attend. Camps, clinics and seminars are usually offered, often with Olympic athletes like Phillip Dutton, Karen O'Connor and Bobby Costello. Each Area Young Rider program is divided into two sub-programs or branches: NAJYRC and YRAP. The NAJYRC branch focuses on developing and fronting riders and horses for the North American Junior and Young Rider Championships each summer. The Young Rider Advancement Program (YRAP) focuses on providing lower level young riders with the education and skills they need to progress through the levels and eventually into the ranks of the NAJYRC.
In addition, each Area has a fund-raising program. The funds raised are used to help defray the costs of the program, particularly for the higher level riders that may qualify for the North American Junior and Young Riders Championship, held each year in the month of August. These fund-raising efforts foster friendships among the riders in the program, and help everyone to feel that they are contributing to the success of the program in their Area. The riders involved all say that participating in the program has helped them to develop teamwork skills and friendships that often last a lifetime.

Dresden Generating Station's technical experts identified water containing tritium in on-site monitoring points through the station's environmental monitoring program.
MORRIS, Ill. (June 8, 2014) — Dresden Generating Station's technical experts identified water containing tritium in on-site monitoring points through the station's environmental monitoring program.
"Our monitoring program functioned as designed, alerting us to the presence of tritium early so we can address the issue quickly and effectively," said Dresden Site Vice President Shane Marik.
Exelon officials notified state and federal regulatory officials today.
On Saturday, June 7, the station's environmental team identified tritiated water in one of the station's 83 environmental monitoring wells located near a water storage tank. The station will be working around the clock to excavate the area around the tank, find the location of the leak, and make repairs.
Samples taken from the station's on-site waste water treatment facility also showed low levels of tritium. The station has not detected any unusual levels of tritium offsite.
Dresden's waste water treatment plant operates in the same manner as all waste treatment facilities following all state and federal regulations. The sanitary wastewater from the plant is cleaned, disinfected and discharged to the Kankakee River.
These sample points are part of the station's extensive environmental monitoring program designed to detect unusual levels of tritium in the environment and are tested on a monthly basis.
"We are keeping our commitment to and are firm believers in sharing new tritium findings with the public," said Marik. "We care about the environment and will be doing everything humanly possible to quickly find the leak source and fix it."
Tritium concentrations are measured in picocuries per liter of water. A picocurie is one-trillionth of a curie, which is a radiological measurement.
Tritium occurs naturally in the environment in very low concentrations. Most tritium in the environment is in the form of tritiated water, which easily disperses in the atmosphere, bodies of water, soil and rock. Today, manmade sources of tritium include commercial and research reactors.
Tritium is used in life science research, and in studies investigating the metabolism of potential new drugs. A tritium fact sheet from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency can be downloaded at: http://www.epa.gov/radiation/radionuclides/tritium.html. Dresden Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two nuclear energy units can produce a total of more than 1,800 megawatts at full power – enough carbon free electricity to power more than 1.2 million typical homes. Dresden Unit 1, which began commercial operation in 1960 and was retired in 1978, has been designated a Nuclear Historic Landmark by the American Nuclear Society.
Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) is the nation's leading competitive energy provider, with 2013 revenues of approximately $24.9 billion. Headquartered in Chicago, Exelon has operations and business activities in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Canada. Exelon is one of the largest competitive U.S. power generators, with approximately 35,000 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. The company's Constellation business unit provides energy products and services to approximately 100,000 business and public sector customers and approximately 1 million residential customers.

Program benefits students and company
MORRIS, Ill. (July 15, 2010) – Exelon Nuclear continues to invest in its internship program, remaining committed to attracting the best and brightest college students even during today's challenging economic conditions. Nationwide, the company has a total of 116 interns at its 12 facilities, including 14 at Dresden Generating Station in Morris, 7 at Braidwood Station in Braceville and 10 at LaSalle County Station in Marseilles.
"Our internship program represents a win-win situation for the company and our interns," said Mike Nolan, Dresden's human resources manager. "Students who complete an Exelon internship are more likely to return as permanent employees after earning their degrees." Nolan noted that 45 of the 50 new graduates Exelon Nuclear hired this year are former interns.
"In today's economy, it's a competitive advantage to build and maintain a strong, dedicated workforce and that's something our internship program helps us achieve," Nolan said. "Our interns bring enthusiasm, new viewpoints and creative ideas to the business, helping us to remain strong and resilient."
"My internship has helped me connect my coursework and real-world power plant applications," said Lauren Sykora, a senior majoring in mechanical and aerospace engineering at Princeton University and a summer intern at Dresden. "Seeing how the technology works helps me make the leap from the classroom concepts to the actual production of electricity here at Dresden. I've also come to appreciate the relationships that engineers have with so many other station personnel to ensure that everything functions as designed."
Exelon Nuclear offers two types of internships: the Professional Internship Program, aimed at students completing a bachelor's or master's degree on a full-time basis at an accredited college or university; and a Technical Internship Program focused on those seeking an associate's degree in a technical field related to the power generation industry. Both types of internships emphasize academic learning, career development, skill building and personal growth.
The internship program continues to flourish thanks to strong support at all levels of the company, from the site vice presidents through the Exelon Corp. senior leadership team.
Interns at Exelon Nuclear sites receive hands-on experience in a variety of areas, including engineering, nuclear operations, chemistry, health physics and business administration, depending on their career aspirations. Prior to returning to school in the fall, each intern recaps his or her summer experience during presentations to the station and company senior leadership teams.
For more information on Exelon's internship program, visit http://www.exeloncorp.com/peopleandculture/recruiting/students.aspx

Sometimes in the stat world you need an assist. Sometimes in the MLS stat world, you quite appropriately may need a second assist.
This came for me Saturday night when Fire Analyst Kevin Egan tweeted to ask this question following a wild 5-4 win in New York:
Here's one for stat man @jefecrandall! Four goals in 15 minutes! Surely that's a first in @ChicagoFire history? #cf97
— Kevin Egan (@kev_egan) May 11, 2014
Perhaps knowing I was too busy bowing at the altar of a boy wunderkid, Hot Time in Old Town founder Tweed Thornton did the quick research:
Beats July 4, 2001 by 1 min http://t.co/HbPZzCO50s @kev_egan: Four goals in 15 minutes! Surely that's a first in @ChicagoFire history? #cf97
— Tweed Thornton (@Tweed_Thornton) May 11, 2014
Might be another out there but I think no. @jefecrandall? RT @kev_egan: @Tweed_Thornton @ChicagoFire Wow! Well played, Tweed! Great stuff!
— Tweed Thornton (@Tweed_Thornton) May 11, 2014
Having finished the lamb sacrifice (kidding!), I woke up this morning to do some more research of my own. Kevin and Tweed were correct, not only did we see the first-ever Fire rookie/Homegrown score a hat trick Saturday night, we also saw the quickest four-goal barrage in the club's 17 season. Wow!
Here's a list of the ones that came (sort of) close:

|Amarikwa 49, Shipp 53', 58', Nyarko 64'

As I did much of last year, I was excited to be invited back to Soccer House, headquarters of the U.S. Soccer Federation, for Thursday's third round Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup draw.
I was joined on Prairie Street by Indy Eleven President Peter Wilt, who was there to witness his club's first Open Cup coin flip.
If you read some of my Open Cup draw articles last year, you might have seen a very complicated process which involved bigger groupings of geographical possibilities, numbering pieces of paper and drawing from envelopes before any coins were flipped.
None of that was the case on Thursday as Competition Secretary Paul Marstaller was able to fit all potential third round matchups in to "logical geographic pairings" so only coin flips needed to take place.
For the Open Cup nerds out there, this may disappoint you and if you'd rather go no further, I suggest you just read U.S. Soccer's official release on the potential third round pairings. If you would still like to know some of the interesting intricacies of the day's happenings, keep reading:
- Five lower-league professional sides did not apply to host third round matches: USL PRO's Harrisburg City Islanders, Orange County Blues, Arizona United SC, Oklahoma City Energy FC and NASL's Atlanta Silverbacks.
- As they did last year, USL PRO's Dayton Dutch Lions did apply to host but their field does not meet U.S. Soccer's competition requirements (a common theme here). Their second round opponent, North Chicago side Schwaben AC also applied to host but their venue does not meet requirements as well.
- Why would both clubs apply to host if they didn't meet requirements? While it's unlikely it would happen, supposing the opponent that pair was matched up with also didn't meet field or venue requirements or didn't apply to host, U.S. Soccer could then award hosting rights to either club. In the case of Dayton/Schwaben, because Indy Eleven applied to host and their home venue meets requirements, a coin flip did not occur for this matchup.
- Another interesting example of this was on the last flip of the round in the matchup of Cal FC / LA Galaxy II and PSA Elite / San Diego Flash. Of the four teams, only LA Galaxy II's venue met requirements, while both PSA Elite and San Diego Flash applied to host although neither team's field met requirements. So in the case that Cal FC won, the winner of the PSA Elite / San Diego Flash match would host a third round match up by default.
With USL PRO's Charleston Battery having the only suitable host venue in their potential match up (they play the PDL's Panama City Pirates in Round 2), they automatically were rewarded hosting rights should they advance to a third round matchup against the winner of Jacksonville United FC / Orlando City U23s. Jacksonville United did apply to host but their home venue was deemed not to fit stadium requirements. However, should Charleston lose and Jacksonville win, the NPSL side would host Panama City in the third round. Should both Panama City and Orlando City win, because neither applied for hosting rights, U.S. Soccer would quickly quoroum with both clubs to figured out a host for a third round match.
- USL PRO's Wilmington Hammerheads applied to host but their field was also deemed unsuitable. Paired with NPSL's Chattanooga FC in the second round, should Wilmington win, they would host by default as Atlanta Silverbacks did not apply to do so.
- Because of some of these differing scenarios, coin flips did not occur as matchups defaulted to a suitable host team.

Thank you again to U.S. Soccer for allowing me to play witness to the draw once again. Chicago-Fire.com plans to bring coverage of the fourth round draw procedure when it occurs next week.
The first round of the 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup kicked off across the country with seven matches (and a forfeit) Wednesday night.
Of note, three games went to extra time with two of those going to penalty kicks. One of the matches decided in a shootout was that of local side RWB Adria downing NPSL darlings Detroit City FC 3-1 on penalties after playing to a dramatic 2-2 draw.
Hot Time in Old Town's Sean Spence live tweeted the match from Livonia Stevenson High School in suburban Detroit where Adria took an early lead through Vlad Baciu in the 20th minute. Fueled by the always raucous DCFC partisans, the home side took a 2-1 lead with second half goals from Tyler Arnone and former Colorado Rapids defender Kevin Taylor in the 71st and 77th minutes respectively.
Baciu bagged a dramatic brace in the dying moments of regulation to send the match to extra time where both teams saw two players sent off and neither could find a goal in the 30 extra minutes. Adria played the spoiler connecting with three of their penalties to see out Detroit City FC and set up a return date to Detroit next week where they'll face perennial U.S. Open Cup spoilers Michigan Bucks next Wednesday, May 14.
Adria will be joined in the second round by another local Chicago side, Schwaben AC, who host USL PRO's Dayton Dutch Lions in Arlington Heights next Wednesday at 4pm CT.
These games should be of interest for Fire fans as the regional groupings make sense for a potential fourth round match up (where MLS teams enter the tournament).
Other Notes:
- The tournament saw it's first forfeit in a decade as USASA side Corinthians were forced to withdraw from their match against the San Diego Flash due to not being able to obtain international clearance for their players in time to play the match. TheCup.US has more information on this intriguing story.
- Kudos to U.S. Soccer for upping their coverage of the tournament this year by introducing a "Game of the Round" which streamed on the Federation's official site Wednesday night. The chosen match saw the USL Premier Development League's Western Mass Pioneers down USASA side GPS Massachusetts 4-1 to advance to the second round. Catch the archive of the match here.
- With the first round done and second round matches set, U.S. Soccer will conduct the tournament's third round draw at Soccer House in Chicago this afternoon. Chicago-Fire.com will once again be a witness at the festivities and have a full account of how the matchups happened later Thusday.

Off the beaten Fire path today is the historic news that Helena Costa, a successful female coach who has guided the likes of the Iranian and Qatari women's national teams has been given the management reigns of French Ligue 2 side Clermont Foot for next season.
With the news, the Portuguese manager becomes the highest-profile female manager of a men's team in European football history.
Clermont Foot's official statement on the appointment said, "It should help the club enter a new era."
Costa has also served in scouting roles for Portuguese and Scottish giants Benfica and Celtic respectively as well as managing lower league Portuguese sides Cheleirense and Odivelas.
Clermont Foot sit 14th in the Ligue 2 table with two matches to play. They'll secure their place in the league for next season with a draw in one of their final two games home vs. Troyes (May 9) and away to Tours (May 15).
What do you think of the news? How long do you think it'll be before a female manager is considered for a job in Major League Soccer? As of today, who would be your top candidate?
If you're any type of soccer nerd, you may know the record for most lopsided defeat in a FIFA national team match match came on April 11, 2001 when an Australian side pushing to move outside of the Oceanic Football Confederation made a point by defeating tiny American Samoa 31-0.
Needless to say, the defeat brought large embarrassment to the tiny U.S. territory whose population is just a hair over 55,000.
Enter former D.C. United, Toronto FC and U.S. U-20 coach Thomas Rongen who threw connections with the U.S. Soccer Federation took the reigns for American Samoa during OFC qualification for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The Dutchman worked wonders by leading the small nation to its first ever international win when they defeated Tonga 2-1 in their opening match of qualifying.
American Samoa tied their second match 1-1 vs. Cook Island and narrowly missed advancing out of the group, falling to Samoa 1-0 in the 89th minute of their final match.
While the side didn't advance, cameras followed Rongen throughout his short stint leading the team and made the movie "Next Goal Wins" which recently debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival.
This is where you come in... There will be a local screening of the film at the Regal Gardens 7-13 in Skokie on Wednesday, May 21 at 7:30pm. In order for it to happen, the theater needs RSVPs by the end of the day Wednesday.
Tickets are just $10.50 and can be purchased by clicking here.

The Chicago Fire were honored to have a very special guest take part in the club's First Kick at Saturday night's game vs. Real Salt Lake.
Jack received a liver transplant from Lurie Children's Hospital when he was five months old. Now in Kindergarten, Jack is a healthy five-year-old who plays AYSO soccer with his team the Blue Bombers.
Check out this video of Jack's experience from Saturday's match:
With his goal in Saturday's match vs. Real Salt Lake, Fire forward Mike Magee continued to climb the club's goal scoring charts at an impressive clip.
The 22nd minute rebound on Harry Shipp's initial shot was Magee's 17th for the Fire in MLS play, tying him with footballing legend Hristo Stoitchkov at 10th on the club's all-time goal scoring list. But for his 63rd minute hit off the cross bar, Magee nearly moved into a tie for 10th on the list with Brian McBride, Dominic Oduro and Chad Barrett.
Here's an infographic detailing where Magee stands, with the important stat being how quickly he's gotten there compared to those around him.
As you can see from the chart below, nearly every goal Magee scores this year will move him further up the ladder, underlying that the club really hasn't had a long-term scoring threat since Ante Razov left the team after 2004. How high on the chart below do you think Magee can go by season's end? Tell us in the comments below.

Check out different angles and slow mo versions of Mike Magee & Juan Luis Anangono's first half goals from Saturday's match vs. Real Salt Lake:
It's Throwback Thursday on the Social Media which lines up for an interesting moment in Fire History that occured this week in 2001.
Coming up on the end of his career, legendary U.S. international Eric Wynalda was acquired by the Fire in a trade with New England that sent John Wolyniec and a 2002 SuperDraft pick to the Revolution on May 3 of that year.
At the time, Wynalda was the all-time leading goal scorer for the U.S. Men's National Team (34 goals) but injuries and national team commitments had kept him from really making an impact for his previous MLS clubs in San Jose, Miami and New England.
Bolstering a Fire attack which already featured the likes of Ante Razov, Hristo Stoitchkov, Piotr Nowak and DaMarcus Beasley, Wynalda joined the team a month into the campaign and took just two days to score his first goal for the club in a 2-0 win over Tampa Bay on May 5. That goal was the first of 10 he scored in less than a full season with the Fire (the first time he'd done it since the inaugural MLS campaign in 1996). He also added two more in the Open Cup and a single marker in the MLS Cup playoffs.
That would be his only season with the Fire and curtain call in MLS but his double-digit goal campaign makes him one of just seven Chicago Fire players to achieve the feat. (Can you name the others? Answer below the photo...)
Though he played only one season for the Fire, Wynalda went into the National Soccer Hall of Fame as a Fire player in 2004, joining former U.S. teammates Paul Caligiuri and Mike Windischmann as well as Women's National Team legend Michelle Akers in that year's induction class.
ANSWER: All-Time Chicago Fire double digit goal scorers: Ante Razov (1998-2000, 2002-2003), Damani Ralph (2003-2004), Eric Wynalda (2001), Josh Wolff (1999), Dema Kovalenko (2000), Dominic Oduro (2011), Mike Magee (2013)
Now into it's second season, the MLS and USL PRO partnership is going well with 11 MLS sides currently affiliated with lower league teams, allowing younger players or those at the ends of MLS benches the ability to gain more playing time in meaningful matches at the USL level.
From the Fire end, we've seen the other side of the USL PRO partnership this past week, as the club's Reserve side played two matches against the Rochester Rhinos and Charlotte Eagles with the games counting in both the MLS Reserve Standings as well as the USL PRO table. With MLS mandating that all clubs either need to have an affiliation or begin a separate team in the USL PRO division by 2015, the Fire and seven other MLS sides will surely have this in the forefront this year.
A look at the current MLS/USL PRO affiliations:
|USL PRO Club
|MLS Club
|Arizona United SC
|Charleston Battery
|Vancouver Whitecaps
|Charlotte Eagles
|Dayton Dutch Lions
|Columbus Crew
|Harrisburg City Islanders
|Philadelphia Union
|LA Galaxy II
|LA Galaxy
|Oklahoma City Energy
|Sporting KC
|Orange County Blues
|Orlando City SC
|Sporting KC**
|Pittsburgh Riverhounds
|Houston Dynamo
|Richmond Kickers
|D.C. United
|Rochester Rhinos
|New England Revolution
|Sacramento Republic
|Portland Timbers & San Jose Earthquakes
|Wilmington Hammerheads
|Toronto FC
**Sporting KC will have main affiliation with Oklahoma City beginning next season when Orlando City joins MLS
Last month Fire Technical Director Brian Bliss spoke to reporters about the headway the club has made on finding a USL PRO affiliate and specifically mentioned that the club held talks with the owners of Arizona United SC as well as a group in Milwaukee looking to launch a new USL PRO club in the near future and other possible cities in the Midwest.
The Colorado Switchbacks and Tulsa Roughnecks, two other clubs that could fit that "Midwest" mold, are already set to begin play in USL PRO next season while the USL Premier Development League's Michigan Bucks are also making noise about a move up to the professional level.
But what other Midwest cities could make sense for a Chicago Fire affiliation? Where does a soccer hotbed like St. Louis fall in all of this? What about Grand Rapids, Cleveland, Cincinnati or even Des Moines, Iowa?
Where would you most like to see a Fire USL PRO affiliation heading into the 2015 season? Tell us below:

To celebrate 10 years of selling cars and the production of its 100th road car, Koenigsegg has built the Agera S Hundra. The suffix is Swedish for "hundred." Koenigsegg actually first shipped vehicles to customers in 2002, and started production of the Hundra last September, but as the car wasn't ready until now, the Geneva Motor Show was apparently acceptable for the company's "10th" anniversary.
The Hundra is a one-off and was built for a private, anonymous collector described by Koenigsegg as "excited." Based on the standard Agera S (pictured below), the car benefits from 24-carat gold leaf inlays, contrasting with the black of the car's exposed carbon fiber. The body and yes, even the wheels, are made from the lightweight material.
The Agera S uses a Koenigsegg-built twin-turbo 5.0-liter V-8 engine good for 1030 hp and 811 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels by way of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The engine weighs only 434 pounds and the entire car has a curb weight of 3120 pounds, giving a claimed 0-to-62-mph time of just 2.8 seconds.

GOUVERNEUR Participants at a presentation Wednesday on Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos state of the state initiatives focused more on what was left out than what was proposed as a legislative agenda for the year.
Mandate relief, assistance for struggling schools, and health care were not addressed by the governor, audience members told Dierdre K. Scozzafava, deputy state secretary of state for local government, who gave an overview of Gov. Cuomos priorities to more than two dozen people in the municipal building.
Specific to St. Lawrence County, legislative leaders also talked about the countys desire for an increase in sales tax as a way of lowering property taxes.
The goal of the presentation one among many being made around the state is not only to give a more personal view of Gov. Cuomos proposals but to hear what people think, Ms. Scozzafava said.
The county might not need additional revenue from sales tax if there were meaningful mandate reform, County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire said.
That is one of the most critical issues in every county, she said. We need some relief there.
For 2013, the countys tax levy is $46 million, of which $43.9 million pays for nine mandated programs. The cost of Medicaid alone in the county is $24 million, she said. A state cap on Medicaid increases started last year was insufficient.
We havent saved anything, Ms. St. Hilaire said. Its nice it isnt going up as rapidly as it was.
Mandate relief is not part of the agenda but that does not mean it has been forgotten as a task force continues to meet, Ms. Scozzafava said.
Its a work still in progress, she said. I know theres a review of lots of different things.
In addition to having agencies checking over their requirements, the state could benefit from hearing from those who carry out its mandates, Ms. St. Hilaire said.
People would welcome that, she said. Hear from us.
The governors proposals for expanded education and other programs sound great, Ms. St. Hilaire said.
But again, who pays? she said. The local taxpayers are taxed to the max.
St. Lawrence has developed a five-year plan that would allow it to cut property taxes if it were able to raise the county sales tax from 3 to 4 percent. St. Lawrence is one of five of the states 62 counties that did not previously raise its sales tax but is now being punished by the mantra of no new taxes, she said.
Lets look at it as an equity issue, Ms. St. Hilaire said. I would ask you bring that issue back.
Rather than relief, the state has heaped costs on school districts, such as the time and money spent to develop annual professional performance reviews, Gouverneur Central School Superintendent Lauren F. French said. She pegged the cost for Gouverneur at $180,000.
That unfunded mandate alone was huge for us, she said.

The North Country Childrens Clinic administrative team has moved out of its former office space at 238 Arsenal St. to make room for an expansion of the adult medical clinic.
Marketing Director Elaine P. Garvey said the agencys finance, billing, personnel, corporate compliance and development workers are now in a satellite office at 210 Court St. She and the dental director may move there soon, but interim Executive Director Janice L. Charles will remain at the main Arsenal Street site.
We started moving some people over there a week and a half ago, Mrs. Garvey said. Were not using the address, and the phone number will still be 782-9450.
This is at least the second shuffling of office space since the agency received a $650,000 grant last year to become a federally qualified health center. Shared staff office space still didnt make enough room for the budding adult medical clinic.
Since the relocation of some staff, the agency was able to move adult medical clinic psychologist William Kimball into his own office since hes now working there full time. Specific offices for adult medical clinic staff have been created, and there may be minimal construction for the possible addition of exam rooms. Mary Beth Knowlton, a registered dietician who also runs the four-county federal Women, Infants and Children federal supplemental feeding program, will spend more time at the adult medical clinic providing nutrition counseling.
Were still trying to organize the space, Mrs. Garvey said. Were trying to make do as best as we can. We absolutely need more exam rooms, but regulations for exam rooms are stringent so we cant just open an exam room in an office. Its an ongoing process.
She said the adult medical clinic continues to see a high number of patients, and now averages 55 visits per week. Because the adult medical clinic continues to pick up speed, it is now open from 8 to 11 a.m. on the first and fourth Saturday of each month. It also is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and on Wednesdays its open until 7 p.m.
The Childrens Clinic still awaits approval to change its name to reflect serving both children and adults. That process is tied up with the state Department of Healths Public Health Planning Council, which has had the request since December.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Garvey said, the agencys executive director search committee has made excellent progress and will be interviewing finalists over the next two weeks. Mrs. Charles, an agency cofounder, will remain on board as the interim leader until a new permanent director is hired.
For more information, visit the clinic website, www.childrens-clinic.org.

The Samsung Galaxy S III has been the center of attention in the mobile phone blogosphere the past couple weeks. Leaks and rumors have been dropping left and right. We comment on the more recent rumors surrounding everything related to the Samsung Galaxy S III.
Quad-core processor: The Korea Times reports the Galaxy S III will feature a quad-core processor.
An anonymous Samsung executive has revealed a bit of news about the upcoming Galaxy S III's Exynos chip. It comes as no surprise that the Korean manufacturer is using its own chipset for the flagship device. It has for past iterations, and this is what we were expecting. LTE fans that demand Exynos will be happy to see a reaffirmation from Samsung that it is gaining LTE-capabilities.
This is a major issue, especially within the US market place... wherein consumers, have grown fond of the Exynos processors' performance. However, in the breadth, Samsung has indicated the need to use Qualcomm processors in order for their devices to be optimized for the LTE networks.
The final whisper seem to allude that the new chipset is said to be a 32 nm silicon A9 quad-core processor, meaning that rumors of it being the Exynos 4412 are probably correct.
Our Take: The way we see it, Samsung has two choices for the Galaxy S III. They either go with the Exynos 4412 (quad-core Cortex-A9) or the Exynos 5250 (dual-core Cortex-A15). Most people thought the new iPad would be quad-core CPU and they were wrong, and I think Samsung's final CPU choice could also surprise people.
Probability: deploying the Exynos 4412 CPU - 75%... deploying the exynos 5250 CPU - 25%
Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
Integrated LTE: The Korea Times and other blogs report the Galaxy S III will feature a processor with an integrated LTE modem.
Our Take: Samsung does not integrate modems with their system-on-a-chip (SoC) like Qualcomm does. We have no doubt the Galaxy S III will be LTE-capable and use a Samsung LTE modem - just like the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, but it will not be integrated into the SoC. Maybe the Exynos 6 series will have integrated LTE, but you will not find it on Exynos 4 chips or Exynos 5250.
Probability: We view this as a high improbability as such we award a less that 2% possibility
Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and glider gloves all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
June release: Numerous blogs are speculating the Galaxy S III will launch in June.
Our Take: Previous reports said the Galaxy S III would launch in April, then May, and now the latest guess is June. Samsung previously said the successor to the Galaxy S II would be unveiled at "separate Samsung-hosted event in the first half of the year, closer to commercial availability of the product." While we have no idea when the Samsung Galaxy S III will be releases , we are pretty confident to see the launch in June 2012
Probability: We have been hearing the same rumors - we rate this as 90% truth factor
Get powered up for work, life and play easily and conveniently with the latest collection of desktop chargers, wall chargers and car chargers. Get all the power and energy you need for the mobile lifestyle.
Wireless charging from 1-2 meters away: Korean site Daily reports the Galaxy S III will feature wireless charging that works with a dock from 1-2 meters away.
Our Take: Several current phones already feature wireless charging, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see as part of the Galaxy S III feature list. I find it really hard to believe it would work from 1-2 meters (3-6ft!) away though. The current inductive charging standard Qi only works when the charging receptacle is almost touching the device.
Qualcomm was working on a propriety technology called WiPowerthat increased the distance between the transmitter and receiver coils by a couple of inches, but the charge had to be transferred though another material like plastic or wood. They previewed this technology at CES 2011, but it never came to market. I heard reports from the Qi group that there were concerns of electro-magnetic radiation when the transmitter and receiver coils are not close together.
I'd be surprised if Samsung solved this radiation problem when Qualcomm couldn't, and I still have my doubts of this remote charging feature. It would be awesome if they discovered a safe way to do this, but I don't see it happening this soon.
Probability: We award this slim 10% possibility

|Three Ashe Departments Fight Predawn Fire
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 10 October 2013 10:31
Three Ashe County fire departments have now cleared the scene of a mobile home fire, found fully involved by both the first caller to 9-1-1 and the first arriving units. The call came in at 5:50 this morning from neighbors to the 1084 Muddy Branch Road home, units from Creston, Warrensville,
and Pond Mountain dispatched along with Ashe Rescue dispatched, the first unit arriving at 5:56 reporting that the trailer was fully on fire. The family who had been in the trailer had moved most of their belongings from the home, power had been turned off, so property loss was mostly limited to the trailer—which was a total loss. The Ashe Fire Marshal is investigating into the cause.

Why is Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian leader, determined to prevent Jews from living in the new independent Palestinian state? After all, it would solve the settlement problem if Jews were permitted to become citizens of Palestine. But that would require the new state to be democratic. It would have to honor human rights and would have to permit the Jews to vote. It would have to become as secular and democratic as Turkey, where Jews have lived for centuries.
So, instead of integrating these highly productive Jewish settlements in the West Bank into a new Palestinian state, Abbas wants them all to be dismantled. But because there are over 250,000 Jews living in those settlements, Israel is not willing to dismantle them as they did the Jewish towns in Gaza.
Indeed, the Gaza experience has created intense opposition to any such further removal of Jews from anywhere in the Holy Land. The West Bank is the heartland of the biblical Jewish commonwealth, and Zionist Jews believe that they have every right to settle and live there as they did during the days of the British Mandate.
But this is the kind of impasse that Abbas probably welcomes, because it makes it impossible for him to negotiate a peace agreement with Israel, which is what Hamas and other Islamic extremists want. They want perpetual war against Israel. That is why Abbas is seeking UN sanctioned statehood before signing a peace treaty with Israel, so that the Palestinians can continue waging war against Israel while enjoying the benefits of statehood. Should the UN approve statehood for the Palestinians before there is peace with Israel, they would be making a mockery of everything the UN is supposed to stand for. They would be taking sides in a war against a member state.

Ashes rivals England & Australia in same ICC World Cup 2015 group
England will play co-hosts Australia on the opening day of the 2015 World Cup.
Pool A is completed by the other co-hosts New Zealand, 1996 winners Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and two associate nations from qualifying tournaments.
Holders India, South Africa, Pakistan, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland and a qualifier are in Pool B.
The tournament starts on 14 February with the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground - where Pakistan beat England in the 1992 final - on 29 March.
World Cup winners
1975 - West Indies
1979 - West Indies
1983 - India
1987 - Australia
1992 - Pakistan
1996 - Sri Lanka
1999 - Australia
2003 - Australia
2007 - Australia
2011 - India
After their opening match against Australia, which will also take place at the MCG, England head to Wellington to face New Zealand six days later.
Alastair Cook's men stay in New Zealand for two more matches, against a qualifier in Christchurch - still rebuilding from an earthquake two years ago - and against Sri Lanka back in Wellington on 1 March.
They then head back to Australia for games against Bangladesh, on 9 March in Adelaide, and the other qualifier in their group, on 13 March in Sydney.
The tournament will follow the same format as the 2011 event with the top four teams from each pool progressing to the quarter-finals.
International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive David Richardson said the World Cup "is the flagship tournament of the 50-over game".
He added: "I'm absolutely confident that the success of the Cricket World Cup 2015 will further strengthen the status of 50-over cricket as a successful and viable format alongside Tests and Twenty20 internationals."
Australia Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said: "This is one of the biggest events in world sport.
"It will attract cricket fans from around the globe and also promote Australia and our close friend New Zealand internationally - especially in India and other parts of South Asia."
Defending champions India, who beat Sri Lanka in the 2011 final, will begin their campaign against Pakistan in Adelaide on 15 February.

@23- Said biggest rivalries in the world, but did not declare which one was the bigger. So your point is irrelevant. Besides its WC
@25- BBC might have British origins, but it is claimed to be a 'World News Channel'. So everyone's opinion matters.Also Ind vs Pak has a bigger viewership than the Ashes. WC is bigger than IndvsPak or Ashes, as it involves every cricketing nation).
Comment number 27. Posted by Avalonon 30 Jul 2013 08:26
@22.Prashanth Narasimhan Ashokan, "Nobody cares abt the Ashes outside Eng & Aus", bet that there people betting in the subcontinent on the results though. So I'm sure a lot of people 'care' as they have something resting on it.
Outside of that why would I expect someone from india care whether England or Aus win the ashes. Just as I dont care about the outcome of India vs SL tests.
Comment number 26. Posted by Prashanth Narasimhan Ashokanon 30 Jul 2013 08:18
@6 Jackrr- I don't see why India winning the WC makes you 'Lol'. No.1 ODI team, WC holders & CT winners. Complete domination. Their form abroad this year has been exceptional. So you can't say they play good only in Sub continent conditions. They've won it all in every part of the world. If Aus of the 90's & 00s & WI of the 70's and 80's were the best in Tests, India of the present is in ODI
Comment number 24. Posted by philyourbootson 30 Jul 2013 08:17
#22 The point being made was that in England people want to win the Ashes more than the World Cup. Obviously in India the Ashes is not the priority. I love the Ashes (it has a unique place in the history of cricket) but I am aware that a large proportion of the world is not involved!
Comment number 23. Posted by Kapnagon 30 Jul 2013 08:11
#19: "Feb 14th and 15th will have the two biggest rivalries back to back. Aus vs Eng and Ind vs Pak."
#22 "Nobody cares abt the Ashes outside Eng & Aus."
Comment number 22. Posted by Prashanth Narasimhan Ashokanon 30 Jul 2013 08:06
@6 Too bad Eng cannot win even a 'girlie format' as you refer to the ODI. Nobody cares abt the Ashes outside Eng & Aus. It isn't even the tourney with the biggest viewership. It has always been a mismatch tourney with either Eng (then) & Aus (now) being too weak.Till Test championship starts in 2017, ODI WC will be the biggest stage, not Ashes. World is bigger than what the English think.
Comment number 21. Posted by LeaveItOutGuvon 30 Jul 2013 08:05
"14 teams is at least 2 teams too many. The Champions Trophy was a delight with something riding on every game. The World Cup is an over-inflated bore fest which seems to drag on for months."
It's not the number of teams that's the problem, it's the format. I love having the associate nations in there, it adds a bit of interest and the chance of an upset.
Comment number 20. Posted by ronnieboy1on 30 Jul 2013 08:04
the trouble with cricket is theres 2 many world cups..w' eve just had 1 effectively..the champions trophy. even a cricket fan like myself is struggling to see what cups what.Do we still have a test league thing?

Feb 14th and 15th will have the two biggest rivalries back to back. Aus vs Eng and Ind vs Pak. I can't think of a better start to the WC. I just hope the Associate teams put up a better fight and shut the ones who whine that the first half of the tourney will be boring and long because of them. Ireland, Bangladesh, Zim, Kenya have all in the past caused big upsets. I have great hopes on them.

Problem with the world cup is it is to drawn out lasting over a month compared with CT. Why not have 16 teams 4 groups of 4 top 2 from each group to quarter finals, semis then final. Play 2 games a day get comp over in just over 3 weeks sure that format would add more interest.

One time this would have been the best game in the comp, But now England are only moderate, and Oz are simply hopeless.

14 teams is at least 2 teams too many. The Champions Trophy was a delight with something riding on every game. The World Cup is an over-inflated bore fest which seems to drag on for months.

Excellent, another chance to thrash the Convicts! Looking at that draw, I'd say we dodged a bullet with SA and India in the other group.

Difficult to be excited about a game that is more than 18 months away. I wonder how many current players will still be playing?
Comment number 13. Posted by drogsbreathon 30 Jul 2013 07:36
Sad to say but facing the old foe won't hold the same excited anticipation unless they improve greatly. Getting drawn to face the Aussies should have brought a gasp of expectation like being drawn against Germany in the football World Cup. But with Aussies seemingly in freefall it isn't even newsworthy these days.

Australia will win it easily.
Comment number 11. Posted by theendisnighon 30 Jul 2013 07:33
So basically re-read as a repeat of this year's ICC Champions trophy plus some qualifiers.
Comment number 10. Posted by Georgeon 30 Jul 2013 07:30
Australia have won 4 world cups including 3 in a row.
England zero.
Comment number 9. Posted by jarvishon 30 Jul 2013 07:30
Why is the 2015 World Cup draw happening in 2013? Surely it's better PR for the competition if the draw is nearer to the competition?

Most small engines such as those in lawn mowers, blowers, dryers and other home tools have a simple structure, provided you are conversant with several terms and parts of an engine. Below are some tips that can be beneficial, though it is always important to consult the operations manual in some or even consult a professional in the field.
• Fuel tank. For an engine to function without fuel, it is like a person surviving without oxygen (breathing).before trying to diagnose other engine problems, especially those associated with startup, always check the fuel tank to ensure that the engine has the required energy to drive its function. Lack of fuel may prevent the small engine from starting up. Also, dirty, low grade or improper may cause other engine problems. You should replace any fuel that you suspect to be contaminated, dirty, or refill if tank is empty.
• Spark plug. The ignition systems and the spark plug are important parts in the start up of an engine. When these parts are dirty or faulty, start up may be prevented or interfered with, thus calling for appropriate cleaning. The spark plug can be tested using a plug tester and if it is functioning properly, the gap it covers should be appropriately adjusted. Faulty ones are better replaced to ensure elimination of such problems.
• Carburetor and fly wheel. By any chance if the carburetor of an engine is not in good state, an engine may fail to start, or may have some other issues associated with start up. Also when the flywheel is loose or damaged, start up of engine can also be a problem. Always check for such faults and do the necessary replacements or readjustments and try to start up the engine again. Moreover, when these parts are dirty, problems can arise to distort the normal functioning of the small engines. These, should appropriately cleaned.
• Combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is one important part of the engine. In small engine repairs, especially when you are doing it yourself, it is important to ensure that it is not coated with excess carbon or soot layers resulting from fuel combustion. In most such cases, the engine is seen to emit a characteristic looking smoke. In cases where emission is seen as white or blue smoke, it is normally highly likely that the engine is burning oil. Excess carbon may sometimes also cause engine knocking and should that occur, it is advisable to follow the product manual on removal/ cleaning of excess carbon.
