Bicycling is a healthy way to experience the outdoors and incorporate physical activity into an individual's daily life. It's a flexible activity - not limited to certain ages or intensity levels - that keeps people moving, helps with weight control, and provides enjoyment.
With summer in full swing, TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the nonprofit weight-loss support organization, offers tips for safe cycling. Whether you are a member of TOPS or not, use these ideas to stay fit and cycle sensibly.
*Good fit makes you fit. When choosing a bike, make sure the frame is appropriate. To find the right fit, straddle the bike and stand flatfooted. There should be at least one inch of clearance between your groin and the top tube and two inches on a mountain bike.
*Location, location, location. The handlebars and seat should be positioned correctly for a comfortable, optimal ride. The seat should be located high or low enough so each knee is bent only slightly at the bottom of each rotation. Seats are not "one size fits all" and should be appropriate to your build and riding situation.
*You're not as hardheaded as you think. Always wear a helmet when you ride. This simple rule protects you from head trauma and brain injury. The helmet should have a bright, visible color and snug fit that covers as much of your head as possible.
*Nighttime is not the right time. Avoid riding your bike at night. Most cycling accidents occur between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. when light levels are low. If you must ride in low-light conditions, wear brightly colored, reflective gear and install a bright headlight and blinking red taillight for better visibility.
*Give your brakes a break. Gently and firmly pump brakes at the same time. Don't squeeze the brakes too hard - and never squeeze the front brake first.
*Know the rules of the road. Attach a rear-view mirror to your helmet, handlebar, or eyewear. Ride with traffic, obey all traffic rules, and yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and other vehicles. Observe your surroundings and communicate with drivers, using hand signals and eye contact.
*What's your hurry? If you're out of shape or unaccustomed to riding, start slowly. Thirty minutes on a flat terrain is a good way to start for the first few weeks. Gradually work up to greater intensity and hillier terrain for better workouts.
*Be kind to your body. Cycling should not involve stress or strain. Keep your arms and shoulders relaxed and avoid locking your elbows. Shift your hand and body positions frequently.
*Share the ride. Riding with another person - or as part of a group - can motivate you to become a better cyclist and make the miles fly by more quickly.
*Variety is the spice of life. Cycling should not be your only workout. It is not a weight*bearing exercise, so be sure to vary your fitness routine with walking, weightlifting, and other activities.
To find a local chapter of TOPS, view www.tops.org or call (800) 932*8677.

While ninety percent of our reporting is devoted to detailing how designers and celebrities address the latest trends, we find it just as thrilling to see how some of our favorite street-style champs experiment with the season's ample offering of wardrobe essentials. After all, it's always smart to take a broad perspective--our selection of uber-chic stalkees comes from all over the world--when searching for of-the-moment dressing ideas. Speaking of which, we couldn't be more smitten with the personal-style choices of today's incredibly cool Style Stalker set. Whether it's the way they pair a slouchy knit with skinny pants, give a retro skirt a modern twist, or accent a neutral ensemble with leopard-print heels, this month's group of girls is certain to provide you with enough outfit inspiration to satisfy all of your fall sartorial cravings.
Casual basics are elevated by a fancier floor-length skirt.
Regular WhoWhatWear.com readers know we've heralded maxi skirts as a must-buy item this autumn. There's something so enticing about this piece, from its dramatic-yet-simple silhouette to how effortlessly it can transform your most basic clothing essentials into a chic outfit. Andy, 26, from Amsterdam, demonstrated this effect flawlessly when she paired an olive green floor-length skirt with a plain white top and black leather jacket. Additionally, we love that she kept the rest of her look minimal, accessorizing with a sleek satchel, gold watch, and one chunky necklace. To imitate Andy's perfectly polished ensemble, you'll want to start by pulling out your best casual tops and outerwear. If you don't already have these key pieces, check out American Apparel's Basic Short Sleeve T ($15) and ASOS' Collarless Quilted Leather Jacket ($207). Now that you have your basic wardrobe staples covered, it's time to give them a dressed-up feeling with a floor-grazing skirt. Some of our favorites include LNA's Column Long Skirt ($99) and Charlotte Ronson's Pleated Long Skirt ($250), but if it's the olive green color you are after, Forever 21's Longline Modal Blend Skirt ($20) will certainly do the trick. Whatever you pick, just remember that for a true interpretation of Andy's amazing look, you need to keep the rest of your look refined and understated!
Black lace and a big '70s hat are a daring, darling combo.
We are head-over-heels for all things black lace this fall. The delicate, netted fabric has a great feminine air, but with a more exciting, edgier spirit than you get with white lace. Instead of playing up its vampy attitude, Claire, 20, from Australia, used her lace-accented top to create an adorable look with the perfect amount of girlish charm. She teamed her lacey shirt with a white skirt adorned with floral appliqués and buckled shoes, but we think her headwear choice made this a truly noteworthy ensemble. Claire finished the darling outfit with a big floppy hat, fit for a fabulous fashion icon like Anita Pallenberg. Looking to emulate this sweet combo? Try Nasty Gal's Matilda Velvet Top ($58) or Madewell's Silk Intermission Top ($95), then follow in Claire's footsteps and top off your ensemble with a large-brimmed hat like ASOS' 70s Floppy Felt Hat ($38) to give your look that extra bit of panache.
Slim pants and chunky-knit sweaters are a great combo.
When temperatures drop, keeping warm is a top priority, but that doesn't mean looking stylish has to be an afterthought! Luckily, the fall runways presented a selection of knits that are not only incredibly cozy go-to options this season, but are also an excellent complement to your slim-silhouetted bottoms. Sabrina, 22, from Amsterdam, shows us to do just that with the way she juxtaposed a slouchy gray chunky-knit sweater with a pair of black skinny pants. But perhaps the best part of Sabrina's cold-weather outfit idea is how easy it is to replicate. First, select a relaxed woolly layer--like Zara's Oversized Jersey Sweater ($80), Free People's Fuzzy Oversized Pullover ($168), or Vince's Thermal Sweater ($265)--and then pair either of said options with BDG's High Rise Cigarette Jeans ($58) in Black. We promise you will be stylishly toasty all season long.
Leopard-print accents work well with an all-neutral outfit.
We've never met a leopard-print accent we didn't like! They are impossible to resist, especially since there are so many excellent accessory options that allow you to incorporate a feline-inspired item into your daily rotation. And while it's a superb way to give your all-noir ensembles a playful touch, a subtle leopard-print piece can look just as intriguing against a neutral color palette. Accordingly, we were thrilled to spot Melanie, 24, from Paris, working this very idea into her polished daytime look. The Parisian stunner finished off her blend of nuanced shades--a peach button-down shirt, beige pencil skirt, gray cardigan, and tan shoulder bag--with an amazing pair of peep-toe leopard-print heels. To recreate Melanie's exact look, neutral basics are a must. We think either C&C's California Button Back Cardigan ($98) or J. Crew's Three-Quarter Sleeve Stretch Perfect Shirt ($58) in Olive Tree, and a slimming pencil skirt like America Apparel's Interlock Mini Skirt ($25) are certainly a good start. Just be sure to finish off your outfit with Jeffrey Campbell's Mariel Wedges ($169) in Leopard. Of course, shoes aren't the only way to give your look an animal-print accent! Tilo's Leopard Scarf ($175), Lauren by Ralph Lauren's Reversible Calf Hair Belt ($38), and Nasty Gal's Leopard Bucket Bag ($48) are also excellent options for livening up your look.
A shearling jacket or coat is a must-buy this season.
While there are many essential outwear options available this season, the shearling jacket is a hands-down favorite in our office. It's incredibly versatile--the comfy coat comes in a variety of styles and colors--and looks great with just about everything from a fancy dress to skinny jeans and tall boots. And while both looks are worth trying, we happen to be partial a model-off-duty interpretation as seen on La, 23, from Spain. She opted for a long, taupe shearling jacket, which she then layered over a gray top, cutoff denim shorts, and opaque tights for a smart play on proportions. If you like her outerwear pick, you'll be happy to know that there are plenty of similar styles to choose from right now. We suggest checking out our top picks in our Go Buy Now: Shearling Jackets story, but surely those aren't the only options. Topshop's Faux Sheepskin Cape ($170), Oasis' Shearling Aviator Leather Jacket ($259), and Nasty Gal's Shearling Aviator Jacket ($98) are also adorable alternatives worth trying.
Black booties and a slouchy tee modernize a retro full skirt.
We can't say enough about all of the ladylike silhouettes this season; some might say we are borderline obsessed! And sure, we do love a full-blown '50s-inspired ensemble, but it's always inspiring to see a fresh interpretation of these ultra-feminine pieces. For example, Barbro, 24, from Norway, gave her floral-print full skirt a completely current makeover by styling it with a pair of edgy black leather ankle booties and an oversized graphic t-shirt. To reconstruct a Barbro-worthy alternative ensemble, start with the essential piece; we are fans of Vero Moda's Full Floral Skater Skirt ($38) and TBA's Pom Pom Skirt ($168). Combine your selected skirt with Truly Madly Deeply's Geo Pieces Cape Tee ($39) and ASOS' Alesha Leather Platform Chelsea Boots ($90) or Stuart Weitzman's Topper Booties ($498) to further achieve her winning ensemble!--Jessica Baker

Kevin Leahy (2014) The Excavation of the Cleatham Anglo-Saxon Cemetery, North Lincolnshire [data-set]. York: Archaeology Data Service [distributor] (doi:10.5284/1000011)
Between 1984 and 1989 the Anglo-Saxon mixed rite cemetery at Cleatham, in the parish of Manton, North Lincolnshire (National Grid reference SE932008) was excavated in advance of its destruction by ploughing. This work resulted in the recovery of 1204 urns and 62 inhumations together with boundary ditches and other features. Cleatham originally contained an estimated 1528 burials making it the third largest Anglo-Saxon cemetery in England. It was in use throughout the early Anglo-Saxon period, terminating with later seventh century 'Final Phase' burials. There are indications that the Cleatham site contained a sub-Roman element.
Many of the urns were intercut or found with other vessels making it possible to construct a Harris Matrix showing their stratigraphic relationships. This allowed the decorative styles of the urns to be placed into sequence. The sequence was found to be internally consistent and correlated well with dated grave goods from Cleatham and other cemetery sites. It was also possible to look at the frequency with which certain types of object were used over the period during which the cemetery was in use. No developmental sequence was identified for urn shapes although there appear to have been changes in the pot fabrics used. An examination of urns from other cemeteries suggests that the Cleatham sequence is generally applicable throughout Anglian England.
Kevin Leahy's report on the excavation, Interrupting the Pots; Excavation of Cleatham Anglo-Saxon Cemetery was published in 2007 as Council for British Archaeology Research Report, 155. This digital resource is intended to make the data upon which the report was based available. It includes the full catalogues as a relational database together with images and the meta-data defining the terms used. While it can be used by itself it is best understood as being complementary to the hard copy synthesis.
The preparation of data for inclusion in this resource has been made possible through a grant given by the Friends of North Lincolnshire Museums whose support is gratefully acknowledged.

Egg Muffins Recipe for a Grab-and-Go Breakfast
12 - 15 eggs (use 12 eggs for individual silicone cups and 15 for larger silicone muffin pans. You can use less egg yolks and more egg white if you prefer.)
1 tsp. (or more) Spike Seasoning (optional, if you don't have Spike, use any type of seasoning blend that's good with eggs.)
fresh-ground black pepper (optional)
1-2 cups grated low fat cheese (I like sharp cheddar or a blend of cheddar/Jack cheese, use less cheese if using meat)
Optional, but highly recommended, 3 green onions diced small.
Optional: chopped veggies such as blanched broccoli, red pepper, sauteed zucchini, sauteed mushrooms, etc. (Using veggies will reduce the fat content)
Optional: diced Canadian bacon, lean ham, or crumbled cooked turkey sausage
Break eggs into large measuring bowl with pour spout, add Spike, and pepper (if using) and beat well. Pour egg into each muffin cup until it is 3/4 full. I like to stir slightly with a fork. Bake 25-35 minutes until muffins have risen and are slightly browned and set.
Muffins will keep more than a week in the refrigerator. Microwave on high about 45 seconds to one minute to reheat.
(Egg muffins can be frozen and reheated, but I like them much better when they're just refrigerated. For best results, thaw in refrigerator before reheating. Frozen muffins will release some water when they thaw.)

int mysql_server_init(int argc, char **argv, char
This function initializes the MySQL library, which must be done
before you call any other MySQL function. However,
mysql_server_init() is
deprecated and you should call
mysql_library_init() instead.
See Section 22.214.171.124, "mysql_library_init()".
Zero for success. Nonzero if an error occurred.

|[Delete] [Edit]
I don't know how often this might come up for others, but here's a tip for those times you have to specify a path for the data directory (or other args) in server_args at runtime.
mysql_server_init apparently does not copy the strings you supply it. It simply makes use of the pointers. Be sure that any string variables you put in place of the server arguments persist throughout your program or some functions may fail. Here's an example:
char Data[] = "--datadir=c:/blah/blah/blah/";
const char *server_args[] =
Now the function ends and the 'Data' var is obliterated. mysql_server_init will execute correctly, but later, in a different function mysql_real_connect will fail mysteriously, claiming it can't find the specified database.
Seems simple, even obvious. I won't mention how long it took me to trace the problem in my program...

Small numbers are more fun.
You think too much. We can cross that bridge when we get to it. It doesn't do us any good worrying about something that hasn't happened yet when we don't know for sure if it will happen (and there is great ambivalence here) or what those consequences will be if it does happen. (Again, great ambivalence.) Those are things we can think about later.
Yes, yes ma'am I do. And I suppose I'm jumping to conclusions, but that's what Brikwars is all about...jumping to conclusions and blowing the crap out of suspected threats.

If you want to save on money, try just using just the Velveeta and skip the second bag of cheese. Or skip the Velveeta and just use the one bag of cheese in the noodle mixture. The extra cheese just makes it super cheesy.
Oven times vary so check it around the 40 minute mark.

Bologna's city centre is compact, and the narrow cobblestone streets are great fun to wander through, so walking is a great way to see the sights. Bicycles and motorbikes are also a common sight. Visitors worried about getting lost in the labyrinthine passageways can take advantage of the excellent bus system, which runs from 6:30am until late. A City Pass is a cost-effective way of taking multiple journeys, allowing for 10 journeys of 70 minutes each. Taxis and rental cars are also available but much of the city centre is off-limits to cars, negating much of the convenience.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between the last Sunday in March and the Saturday before the last Sunday in October).
Electrical current in Italy is 230 volts, 50Hz. A variety of plugs are in use, including the European-style two-pin plug.
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, which is divided into 100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain Euros through any bank, ATM or bureaux de change. ATMs are widespread. Credit cards are accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities. Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than casas de cambios.
The international access code for Italy is +39. There can be high surcharges on calls made from hotels and it is generally cheaper to use a calling card. Public telephone boxes take phone cards for local and international calls, which can be bought from newsagents. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in the main towns and resorts.

Bologna's climate is humid subtropical, with large swings in temperature from summer to winter. Summers are hot and muggy with temperatures higher than those found along the coast. In the hottest months, July and August, temperatures range between 88°F (31°C) and 63°F (17°C). Visitors should note that in August many locals take their holiday and a number of restaurants and businesses close down for at least part of the month. In the coldest month, January, the temperatures range between 50°F (10°C) and 34°F (1°C). Rainfall prevails in the winter, with cool to cold temperatures and occasional snow. November is the wettest month but visitors should anticipate rain in October, December, March and April as well. The best time to visit Bologna is in springtime (April and May) or autumn (September) when the weather is warm and the crowds are small.
There is a special airport bus which takes you into the centre of Bologna. It leaves every 15 minutes during the day from outside the arrivals hall. The first bus is at 5:30am and the last one is at 1:15am. The bus is called Aerobus or BLQ and is easily identified as it is grey and light blue in colour as opposed to the orange urban buses. The fare from airport to the centre is €6 per person and you can pay the driver directly on the bus or from ticketing machines in the airport. The BLQ's furthest point in its route takes one to Bologna Central Railway Station, four miles (6km) from the airport. It is a major transport hub, with connections to places all over Italy. The journey from the airport to the railway station takes about 25-30 minutes, depending on the traffic.
There are plenty of car hire agencies at the airport, including Hertz, Avis, Alamo, Budget, Sixt and Thrifty.
There are fixed-fare taxis outside the terminal; however, they are in high demand during peak times, so it may be a good idea to book in advance. The fare is about €15 and a bit more for extra luggage.
There is only one terminal building. Departures is on the upper level, while the lower level is for arrivals.
Airport facilities include bank and currency exchange services, ATMS, left luggage facilities, a business lounge, travel agents, an information desk, and many shops and restaurants.
For short-term parking, the Express Car Park is adjacent to the terminal building, and charges about €3.50 per hour, or €30 per day. Medium to long-term parking rates are €10 for up to 24 hours.
Free wifi is available via your mobile phone.

FORT DRUM The father of a fallen officer from Fort Drum is traveling thousands of miles by motorcycle to the four corners of America to honor his son and raise money for four military-support charities.
Beginning in Seattle at the start of August, Donald R. Blanchard and his friend Bruce A. Stanley have slowly progressed east, stopping on post late Sunday. The estimated 12,000-mile trip, which will touch Bangor, Maine; Miami and San Diego and end in Mr. Blanchards hometown near Yakima, Wash., will support the USO, Fisher House, the Patriot Guard Riders and the Wounded Warrior Project.
If I can touch a million people, and if they donate one dollar to these groups, that would be a pretty awesome thing, Mr. Blanchard said.
Mr. Blanchard is the father of Capt. Aaron R. Blanchard, an Apache helicopter pilot who was one of two soldiers killed April 23 in a missile attack in Pul-e Alam, Afghanistan. Capt. Blanchard and 1st Lt. Robert J. Hess, also killed in the attack, served in the 2nd Aviation Battalion, 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, 10th Mountain Division. Prior to being commissioned in the Army, Capt. Blanchard served in the Marine Corps, where his time on the ground during two tours in Iraq sparked an interest in becoming an aviator.
He was always intrigued that when they were having ... firefights ... these helicopters would come in and save the day, Mr. Blanchard said. He said it just uplifted him.
Mr. Blanchard said he had thought of doing the lengthy motorcycle ride for years, and remembered his son encouraging him to do it in March, shortly before the start of his deployment. Capt. Blanchards advice to his father: You need to do it before you get too old.
Mr. Blanchard said the organizations he will raise money for directly supported his family in the aftermath of his sons death.
He would be beside himself, he said when asked how his son would react to the trip. He was all about giving too. Hed say, Way to go, Dad.
Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Stanley spoke about their ride to media at the posts USO building on Monday morning. The pair have known each other since 1999, when they met through work, and have ridden together for years. Mr. Stanley said the news of Capt. Blanchards death touched him deeply.
There was no way he was going alone, Mr. Stanley said.
Though the men are paying for their fuel and some other expenses, they have been supported with meals and lodging from groups like the USO, and have received offers of lodging from supporters of their trip, some having read about their story online.
Its so humbling, Mr. Blanchard said. We were going to do this on our own, but now everybodys stepping up and helping us, and its a pretty amazing thing.
Mr. Blanchard said he felt at ease while cruising on his motorcycle, a 2003 Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide.
When Im on my bike, all my stress goes away, Mr. Blanchard said. Its just the wind in my face.
He said that although he has never named a bike before, he soon would have it engraved with the name Rudy, his sons call sign.
Mr. Stanley is completing a trip on a special-edition 2008 Harley-Davidson Screamin Eagle, nicknamed Rootie Tootie: The Golden Eagle.
The motorcycle trip is the second time Mr. Blanchard has traveled to Fort Drum; the first was in May for a remembrance ceremony.
He said he would return early next year when the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade returns from its nine-month deployment.
Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Stanleys travels are being documented on a Facebook page at http://wdt.me/zLuxYt.

The most awaited Android device which has been slated for a summer release in July is soon to hit the markets and customers will get their chance to get their hands on this one very soon. The company has been engaged in a strong advertising campaign which had been built to create a big hype around this unlocked cellphone. Well they have done it again with the new promotional video for this phone which has come out on the internet. This gets the viewers attention but funnily does not have any information about the phone itself. However this is a great gimmick nonetheless.
In terms of the features, the Verizon Unlocked Motorola Droid ( X ) is one great device and the specs that it carries are much ahead of the other competitors which are there in the market. The large 4.3 inch touchscreen is genuinely good. 1 GHz OMAP processor makes operations on this phone really smooth. Other than this, there is also a great 8 megapixel camera which has a dual LED flash which means taking photographs will be a nice experience on this one. The video recording on this camera is of pretty good quality and its HDMI port offers a 720p HD video and picture streaming to a television screen or any monitor which can be externally connected to this device. This is really important for the people who want good video specs on their smartphone. Other than this, there is GPS, Wi-Fi connectivity and a MicroSD slot on the phone which is sure to satisfy the most discerning user.
Although whatever little reviews which we have laid our hands on is not really excellent, but we sure hope that Verizon gives us more of a reason to go and pick up this phone which we otherwise think is pretty good.

Founded in 2000 by denim guru Adriano Goldschmied and manufacturing veteran Yul Ku, AG Jeans are engineered for smart fits and polished expert finishes. Based out of Los Angeles, California, AG Jeans are the only vertically integrated manufacturing facility in the country. From the very first sketches to the cutting, sewing, and finishing, every step of creating a pair of AG Jeans is done in their own factory, giving this brand a more control over their product. Ku believes, when you are using four different factories there is a loss of control. When something goes wrong, there's finger-pointing. Having it all under one roof keeps it more fluid and more efficient. We think it gives us a competitive advantage to have everything done in one factory. And this is not their only advantage when compared to other denim brands. AG Adriano Goldschmied began using Ozone Technology in order to become more eco friendly. This process significantly reduces the companys use of water, chemicals, and energy while retaining the same amazing look, feel, and fit of the AG Jeans we all know and love.
Besides being known for their eco friendly processes and for their genuine Made in the USA manufacturing process, AG Jeans are known for their amazing fit. Finding a pair of jeans that fit your body comfortably can be one of the most challenging parts of shopping for a good jean but AG has done it. With a waist that isnt so high its up to your bellybutton but isnt so low you find yourself constantly pulling them up (and hoping you dont look like a plumber), you will feel comfortable and still look sophisticated. Try the Stilt Jean (featured in magazines and fashion blogs as a must-have closet item) for an everyday classic piece or look to the future with the Ex Boyfriend Short and impress that (new) special someone!

OGDENSBURG Certified public accountant Donald J. Hooper, a Republican, will challenge St. Lawrence County Democratic Legislator Vernon D. Sam Burns for the District 1 seat this fall.
Im running because I think our county is in bad financial trouble and I think I can bring something to the table, said Mr. Hooper, a partner in the Pinto, Mucenski, Hooper, Van House & Co. firm. I think there has to be a better way than spending the fund balance.
Mr. Hooper said he believes his years of experience as a financial adviser will benefit the county.
I would really dive into the budget and find out whats behind the line, he said.
Mr. Hooper said he considered entering county politics after reading the state comptrollers report last year that identified the county as one of the most fiscally stressed in the state.
They made some pretty terse comments, Mr. Hooper said. In 2007, the county had an $11 million surplus, and thats all gone now.
He plans to retire at the end of July, which will give him the time to provide a conservative view in county leadership.
It allows me to apply what I know, he said.
Mr. Hooper said he would like to explore how the county spends the state-tribal compact money it receives.
I would like to know how its being applied, he said.
He would look more closely at the benefit package for employees and what services the county should provide.
Mr. Hooper is among the group of fiscally conservative candidates the GOP is lining up to run against incumbent Democrats with the goal of taking the majority on the board.
Mr. Hooper declined to criticize the incumbent, Mr. Burns.
I just think its time for a change, he said.

US National Team
Chicago Fire goalkeepers Sean Johnson, Kyle Reynish, Alec Kann and coach Aron Hyde will jump behind the bar at AJ Hudsons (3801 N. Ashland) to raise money for the Chicago Fire Foundation Tuesday from 6:30-8:30pm! A $20 wristband gets you select drafts, mixed drinks, wine and soda for two hours leading up to the U.S. Men's National Team's World Cup warmup friendly vs. Azerbaijan beginning at 9pm CT.
After nearly a month of training camp and an early January trip to Brazil, Fire forward Mike Magee and goalkeeper Sean Johnson are set for Saturday afternoon's U.S. friendly vs. South Korea at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif.
For Johnson, January camp has become part of his preseason routine, while Magee's only been to one previous camp, way back in 2005. The 2013 MLS MVP spoke to ESPNFC's Doug McIntyre about his hopes of finally receiving his first U.S. cap at the age of 29 on Saturday and goal of making the U.S. team for this summer's FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Catch the U.S. take on South Korea Saturday at 4:00pm CT on ESPN2, Watch ESPN and Unimas.
UPDATE: U.S. Soccer has announced Magee will not dress for today's friendly due to food poisoning. I don't even know what to say. We love you Mike, feel better.
New Fire assistant coach Clint Mathis scored a few goals in his career, many of which were stunning.
There was this darting run in 2001 vs. Dallas that wound up winning MLS Goal of the Year.
There was also this one-time volley from 2004 while playing for Hannover 96 in Germany.
But if you got this far into this blog post and didn't already know what the favorite goal of Clint's career was, you haven't been a U.S. Soccer fan long enough. Of course you know what it is:
Daegu, South Korea.
June 10, 2002.
John O'Brien.
24th minute.
Deft touch with his right.
Beautiful finish with his left.
Jack Edwards: "That's why he's here!"
When I asked him this question which was very easily answered, Clint, with his Southern Charm, responded like he'd never been asked before saying, "The goal in 2002. That's one that my kids can tell their grandkids and it's one of those situations where I have some goals I remember playing in the league but it's different when you score in MLS vs. the World Cup.
"I think the significance behind that goal – it ended up being the one goal we needed to get out of the group because of the other results that happened on the final day to put us through – you just can't rate anything higher than that. You can't forget it."
Ahhh, just watch it again:
We already know that after a nine-year absense from U.S. Men's National team camp, Mike Magee is taking his current opportunity rather seriously.
USsoccer.com caught up with Mike, Jurgen Klinsmann and a few other players after the team's first training session on Tuesday. Check out the video below and see Mike's interview beginning at about 1:20.
Long before he reached U.S. Men's National Team and Roma fame, Michael Bradley was just a kid running around Fire training watching the likes of Piotr Nowak, Hristo Stoichkov and Ante Razov kick around.
On Friday night, MLS Insider told the story of Michael's young years around the teams his father managed before becoming a professional at age 16 with the MetroStars.
Watch the segment below and catch the full edition of MLS Insider Episode 5 by clicking here.
If you've paid attention to Victor Pineda's story over the last year, you'll know that just making the U.S. U-20 roster was a challenge.
The Fire's original Homegrown player came close to making his competitive debut at the end of 2012 before a meniscus injury sidelined him through much of this year's preseason.
Ever resilient, Pineda recovered in time to join the U.S. U-20s and will hopefully take the field when Tab Ramos' side opens up the FIFA World Youth Championships Friday vs. Spain in Istanbul, Turkey (LIVE 1pm CT on ESPN2).
Yanks Abroad's Brian Sciaretta wrote this excellent piece on Pineda's road to Turkey.
The Chicago Fire's Chris Rolfe, Logan Pause and Frank Klopas took part in U.S. Soccer's Centennial celebration and World Cup qualifying viewing party Tuesday night at Chicago's Grant Park.
Check out photos from the event below:
Fire Homegrown talent Victor Pineda is away with the US U-20 squad at the Toulon Tournament in France. The tournament is a prep for the FIFA U-20 World Cup taking place in Turkey later this month and could be make or break for players hoping to make that roster.
Coming off a right ankle injury, Pineda did not make the field in the Americans' first two matches against France and Colombia (both losses) but started and went 60 minutes in the U.S. win over the Democratic Republic of Congo Saturday. Here are my observations of Victor's performance:
Victor started on the right of a three man attack, wearing the number 7. He spent most of the first half playing almost on the touchline on the right wing.
Around the fifth minute, Pineda controlled a cross-field ball, cut inside and hit a tame shot on target with his left foot. He combined well with FC Dallas right-back Kellyn Acosta with the pair exchanging numerous one-two passes.
Pineda also tucked inside, allowing Acosta space to move into on the wing. The U.S. team applied a lot of high pressure on the DRC back line and at one point Pineda almost blocked a kick by the DRC keeper.
Coach Tab Ramos switched Pineda to the left wing and it was from this position that he created the U.S.'s best chance of the half. \
On 35 minutes, he got the ball wide and beat a DRC defender with pace before breaking into the box, faking right and cutting back left with a Cruyff turn, beating another defender before shooting with his left and forcing the keeper to make an excellent save. This was the last major action of the first half (40 minutes) for Pineda.
In the second half he continued on the left wing, cutting inside and demanding the ball off his teammates, displaying his strong self belief and confidence. He displayed another neat bit of skill 15 minutes into the second half when he allowed the ball to go in between his legs before turning away from a DRC player who could do nothing except foul him.
On 60 minutes, Victor was substituted, not surprising for a player who is only just coming back from an ankle injury.
In conclusion, Pineda was heavily involved during his time on the field and certainly made the case for a start in the US's last group match against South Korea on Wednesday (9:55am CT on beInSport).
Check back later this week for a recap of Victor's next match with the U-20s.

Sean Johnson isn't the only player with Fire ties in U.S. Men's National Team camp. Former Fire first teamer DaMarcus Beasley and PDL product Brad Guzan joined Sean for the opening of training camp Monday in Denver.
In this video, Beasley talks his return to the national team while the Home Glen native Guzan the likely starter for Friday's match vs. Costa Rica and next Tuesday's all-important clash at Mexico.
Chicago Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson is in Honduras for this afternoon's opening Final Round CONCACAF qualifying match vs. los Catrachos (LIVE pre-game beginning at 2pm CT on beIN Sport).
It's unlikely Sean will see time in the match, much less even dress but the honor of being chosen is still great.
Check out video excerpts from Tuesday's pre-game press conference with head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and midfielder Michael Bradley here.

I am so loving this new engineer class^^
I am so loving this new engineer class^^
so is the f2p version of this game still pay to win? or not?
if not, ill give it a shot.
Be warned - I am a major player of Regnum Online the mmo. I've been playing it for about 2 years and rarely go without logging in at least once a day. You can also look at good alternatives to Regnum such ase Aion online and Aika Online.
One of the major changes done was that the blessing is no longer required to deal damage. Originally there was a blessing for which you had to pay 20 cents per day (or 2.60€ for 21 days) that strongly increased your damage. Basically without blessing the game was unplayable. This was changed so that you deal the same damage with and without blessing. The blessing now is only needed for quick full recovery (only works outside combat so no PVP advantage) and some other helpful skills not needed for PVP.
The other major change done was that there is an NPC where players can buy cash currency for ingame money, basically making any cash shop item available to any player, even if they don't pay a single cent. Of course it still requires grinding ingame money.
What's everyone rolling? League or empire?
I am in league

By Kevin R. Betts
In late November, I wrote about the effectiveness of apologies for reducing intergroup conflict. Based on research by Blatz and Philpot (2010), I suggested that when certain conditions are met, the power of a simple public apology for improving intergroup attitudes, restoring trust, and promoting forgiveness should not be underestimated. Examining reactions to a recent public apology made by Alabama Governor Robert Bentley to non-Christians in the state provides for a nice test of the ideas presented in this prior post.
Let's start with a little background for those unacquainted with this story. Shortly after being sworn into office last Monday, Alabama's governor met with supporters at a local church where he said bluntly, "Now I will have to say that, if we don't have the same daddy, we're not brothers and sisters. So anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I'm telling you, you're not my brother and you're not my sister, and I want to be your brother." Because not everyone residing in Alabama is Christian, many people wondered whether the new governor would treat all citizens fairly. Rabbi Jonathan Miller of Temple Emanu-El in Birmingham was among the many people who felt disenfranchised by Gov. Bentley's words. In a letter to Gov. Bentley, Rabbi Miller wrote, "Our great nation, by law and tradition, provides us with religious freedom. And even though we do not believe exactly alike, we ought to see each other with brotherly affection, and as equals in conscience and human worth." For a time following Gov. Bentley's words, Rabbi Miller and other non-Christians were enraged.
Two days later, Gov. Bentley apologized to both community leaders and the public. He organized meetings on Wednesday with concerned community leaders (including Rabbi Miller) and the press. Among his words to the press, Gov. Bentley said, "The terminology that I used I believe seemed to disenfranchise other religions and it certainly was not meant to do that. And what I would like to do is apologize. Anyone who heard those words and felt disenfranchised I want to say that I'm sorry. If you're not a person who can say that you're sorry than you're not a very good leader."
What was the result of Gov. Bentley's apology to non-Christians in the state? As predicted in my prior post, intergroup attitudes improved, intergroup trust was partially restored, and forgiveness was attained. Consider the words of Rabbi Miller about Gov. Bentley following the meeting. "He's looking to fix the thing. He was apologetic. He's clearly looking to reconcile himself. All of us have put out words we wish we could take back." In later comments, Rabbi Miller went on to say about Gov. Bentley, "We certainly expect from his words and deeds today that he will not be a governor who will divide us over religious issues."
Relative to other conflict resolution strategies that I have written about, intergroup apologies are simple and easy to implement. This does not mean that they are always effective; under many conditions, they will not be. Yet, the result of Gov. Bentley's apology to non-Christians in Alabama points out that their value should not be underestimated. In certain cases, a simple apology may effectively resolve serious conflict between groups.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The 3rd annual Gaziano awards were honored at the Augusta Civic Center on Sunday. Three offensive and defensive linemen candidates were vying for the title, after the initial field of 31 was whittled down to 6 players.
Bobby Begin of the Thornton Academy Trojans won the O-Line award, while Kurt Massey of the John Bapst Crusaders earned the defensive honor. Both players say they were truly touched to receive the award.
"It's just so great to give lineman the respect they deserve because they battle every single play and all the backs, even though they're all great backs, they get all the credit," says Begin, "So I'm really happy to represent the lineman of my team, of the state, and of this award.
Massey agrees. "This award means everything to me. It means that all the time and effort I've put into my, not only everything that I've put on the field, but everything I've put in the community and in the classroom has paid off."
Both Begin and Massey received a $5000 scholarship. The runners-up each won $1000 in scholarship money.

The Korea Times reports that the country has decided to ban the commercial trade of game items. The law, which will go into affect later this year, will also prohibit players from using bots. The Korean government believes that these programs are responsible for online gaming's negative reputation.
Those players who violate the law can face up to five years in prison and a 50 million won (US$43,000).
"The main purpose of the games is for entertainment and should be used for academic and other good purposes," said Kim Kap-soo, head of the ministry's content policy division. The government also feels that the virtual item trade has caused problems in Korea and that a solution is therefore necessary.
More details about the new law are expected next month.

Mimi Edlin:
The Art of Giving
Miriam S. "Mimi" Edlin likes to express her vibrant and generous spirit through art—both in her paintings and in her other specialty, the art of giving. As a longtime supporter and admirer of Ringling College of Art and Design, Mimi used her abundant imagination to create an exceptional, transformative gift that satisfied her philanthropic objective to help Ringling and provided her with a substantial financial benefit. A true win-win!
The gift took the form of a condominium Mimi owned on U.S. 41, just south of Ringling's campus. Since she no longer needed the property for her own use, Mimi met with Ringling's officers and development leaders to see if the institution could make good use of it. After listening to their counsel, her life-partner's advice, and her own inimitable smarts, she made a decision that would be advantageous to her and to the College. Mimi gifted her property to Ringling College, realizing it would benefit and support students, faculty, and academic programs, promote artistic growth, and reward the institution as a whole.
By divesting herself of the real estate and donating it to Ringling, Mimi reaped significant tax benefits and will enjoy lifetime income from the charitable annuity the College established with the donation.
"Mimi has made an extraordinary contribution to Ringling College's Pathway to Preeminence campaign, and we will forever be grateful for her generosity. We also appreciate her willingness to share the details of this gift in the hope that this will inspire others to come forward and consider similar win-win strategies," says Ringling College President Dr. Larry R. Thompson.
"My gift benefits the school, its students and its future, which is very meaningful to me," says Mimi. "Here's to the art of giving!"

Nate Stephens Earns Two Best Paper Awards
By Allie Jeppson
It is a rare thing for an author to win a best paper award for his or her published research. It is even more unusual, however, for an author to win two of those awards in the same year. Yet Nate Stephens, assistant professor of accounting, has done just that for research published in the Accounting Horizons and Issues in Accounting Education journals.
Nate Stephens, a professor in the School of Accountancy, won two "best paper" awards earlier this year.
Within the past year, Dr. Stephens has co-authored and published two different papers in two separate academic journals. These journals, which are owned and operated by the American Accounting Association (AAA), each selected Dr. Stephens' papers for the "Best Paper Award." He was recognized during the AAA annual meeting held in Washington, D.C., earlier this year.
A press release issued recently by the AAA said this about the award: "The … Best Paper Award is presented to the best paper published each calendar year. The award winner is selected by online voting open to all (of the journals') subscribing members of the AAA."
"It's exciting," Dr. Stephens said about receiving the award. "They're both highly ranked journals, highly read, and so to get the best paper award from both of them, especially in the same year, it's pretty rewarding."
The first paper written by Dr. Stephens was published in Accounting Horizons. This published research "is meant to help people who are trying to find information about the quality of (accounting) doctoral programs," according to Dr. Stephens.
The research for the paper was done by looking at a university's alumni and ranking their success based on how often they have been published in top-tier journals, Dr. Stephens said. He added, however, that this list is unique because it creates separate rankings for the different sub-disciplines within the accounting field such as tax, auditing, and financial and management accounting. Because a few of the co-authors who worked with Dr. Stephens on this ranking are from Brigham Young University, BYU has posted the rankings online. You can view them by clicking here.
While the second paper, published in Issues in Accounting Education, is similar to the first in that it helps students find information about doctoral programs, it differs from the first in that it ranks doctoral professors by name, based on their productivity in research over the course of their careers, Dr. Stephens said.
"Sometimes … the university itself is not as highly ranked but you've got one or two individuals at that university who have been very successful," he said. "And if a doctoral student wanted to go and work with one of those faculty members, then he or she could have a lot of success."
These name-based rankings are also done for each accounting sub-discipline.
