What travelers to Hobart are saying
Humble Hobart
Let's face it, taking the mick out of Tasmania comes just below cricket in terms of national sport. Yet there's a ring of truth to the postcards sold in Hobart featuring a map of Australia with the mainland renamed 'North Island' – and you begin to get the feeling that maybe, just maybe, we've got this whole superiority over Tasmania thing the wrong way around.
As the Port Arthur ruins show, Hobart began life as a particularly harsh penal colony, but has now blossomed into a city of beauty, wonder and some damn fine facilities. It's a quiet cultural achiever, rivalling Melbourne's somewhat pretentious art scene with the MONA and Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.
In terms of scenery, Hobart has some of the best in the country, with The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens and Wellington Park showing off the city's gentle beauty. In terms of shopping, unique boutiques line Elizabeth Street, and no matter where you're from, Hobart will more than likely kick your city in the gastronomic guts, so vibrant and innovative is the food scene and local produce.
Humble, friendly and unfussed over whether you like it or not, Hobart is a gem hiding in plain sight, if only the rest of the country would take their blinkers off.
Hobart's Top 10
10. Wrest Point Casino Who doesn't like a little spot of roulette? Not you? Hit up one of the restaurants or cool bars instead.
5. Cascade Brewery It's a brewery. They make beer. It's really, really good. They have tastings. They also have a shop that sells said beer. The end.
9. Battery Point This historic district provides some major historical eye candy.
4. Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery This museum/art gallery has the finest art collections and most impressive exhibits in the city.
8. Elizabeth Street This mammoth street hosts the best shopping, eateries and drinking holes in the state.
3. Cadbury Chocolate Factory We're pretty sure that you need about as much convincing to visit here as you did with the Cascade Brewery, but just in case: lots of free samples.
7. Shot Tower Learn a thing or two at this historic building where old-school ammo used to be made.
2. Peppermint Bay Cruise Take a cruise from Hobart to Peppermint Bay and be blown away by the remarkable surroundings.
6. Salamanca Market This is a Hobart icon and institution. Go to buy fresh produce or arty crafty pieces.
1. Mt. Wellington/Wellington Park views, gorgeous scenery and the freshest air anywhere.

Hobart Local
This is Hobart's core and home to some of the most important venues in the state, including Parliament House and the Supreme Court. Make sure you pay the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery a visit for a look at one of the biggest and best art collections in the country, as well as stacks of awesome and inspiring exhibits. If you want to ingest some history and probably get a tad teary, visit the Hobart War Memorial, a monument commemorating the lost soldiers of war.
If you like your history with a marine-flavour, try the Maritime Museum to learn about Aussie maritime history and exploration, ship construction, naval warfare and gaze at shipwrecks and remnants from under the sea. Oh, and shoppers? Elizabeth Street Mall is your #1 destination.
Hobart's south is home to an eclectic mix of attractions. Start with the MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) for one of the most unique art experiences in Oz. It's a remarkable venue that puts a lot of effort and thought into its exhibits, so you'd be crazy to miss it. The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens also finds its home here and has a whopping selection of attractions for flora lovers. You'll find everything from a Japanese garden to a sub-Antarctic plant house and even a lil ol' veggie patch (it's actually pretty big).
Now that you've worked up a sufficient thirst, get over to the Cascade Brewery, where all your Tassie beer dreams will come true. Take a tour, have a meal and drink classic, Tassie-made beer like there's no tomorrow. Make sure you bring along someone boring to be the designated driver.
Hobart's famous Elizabeth Street continues into the north and provides a great selection of top restaurants and bars, so rest assured that if you're in this neck of the woods, you'll be fed well. Speaking of being fed well, you have to hit up the Cadbury Chocolate Factory and Visitors Centre. Learn how chocolate is made, watch them pour it into moulds (try to hold yourself back from jumping into the giant vats) and sample all the goodies. There's also a shop so make sure you buy up BIG TIME. Everyone knows that Cadbury choccies are amazing, and you can buy huge bags of discounted chocolates that aren't quite the right shape to be sold in stores. Nothin' wrong with the taste, though!
This is one of the most scenic areas in the city, so make sure you bring some sturdy shoes and your camera. Get over to Mount Wellington and Wellington Park for magnificent views, great walking trails and plenty of native wildlife. If you're up for a short bus ride, the 22-acre Inverawe Native Gardens at Margate are a treat. Stroll through the blissful, landscaped gardens on your own or take a themed, guided tour. If you're a bird enthusiast, don't forget to bring your binoculars, too, because hundreds of bird species call Inverawe their home. There are also a number of wineries scattered around the area.
Hobart Eat & Drink
Catch Fresh seafood, anyone? The bouillabaisse is worth its weight in gold.
Maldini This local fave does Italian food to a T. They also have an awesome wine list!
The Boathouse A classic-style venue juxtaposed with modern Aussie-Euro fusion.
Syrup Stay downstairs for funky, retro classics or go upstairs for some epic, reach-for-the-lasers electronica.
Drunken Admiral This awesome sea-and pirate-themed eatery does some of the best seafood in town. It'll be hard to choose just one dish, though.
Ball and Chain Grill This place does seafood and meat on a charcoal grill. *drool* We'll take two of everything, thanks.
Cargo Bar Pizza Lounge Chilled and funky place for fantabulous pizza and great drinks.
IXL Long Bar Lives in the Henry Jones Art Hotel and is one of swishest bars in town. Kick back with a cocktail and soak in the surroundings.
the lowerhouse This slick restaurant/bar with the trendy lowercase lettering is perfect for a sexy, after-hours chillout or an elegant dinner (or both).
Garagistes This communal-style eatery is simple yet stylish, welcomes chic and cool clientele on a daily basis and is one of the best in the city.
Hobart Events
The Royal Hobart Show provides four days of epic entertainment for all ages every October. Whether you're all about rollercoasters that take you to the point of puking, showbags full of games and edible goodies, cute animal shows or just some great food and art exhibits, the show will satisfy.
Thousands of beer fans unite at The Tasmanian Beerfest every November. The largest beer festival in Oz sees breweries from all over the state, country and even overseas come together to put their best on show. If you like your amber ale, live music and great food, you can't pass up this epic, beer-fuelled fiesta.
Hobart (and the entire country) always gets pumped for the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, starting on Boxing Day every year. Park your cabooses around the Derwent River/Sullivan's Cove for the exhilarating and emotional finish a few days later
Great food and plonk – is there anything better? The Taste festival (late December to early January) transforms Hobart into food and alcohol heaven by celebrating the city's great local produce. Go and stuff your faces and sink a few too many beers (or wines) while enjoying a variety of musical and cultural performances. If you're up for learning a few tricks and tips, head over to one of the workshops and classes held by world-renowned master chefs.
When To Go
OK, everyone thinks Hobart is freezing and, compared with much of the rest of the country, it is. Snow is reasonably common on Mount Wellington in winter and from June to October you're likely to experience more wet days than dry ones.
But, the temperatures aren't as bad as all that, averaging 8°C in winter, 16°C in spring, 22°C in summer and 13°C in autumn. Dress appropriately and you'll still have a ball.
What To Miss
If you're up for a bushwalk, make sure to wear sensible clothing and closed shoes as Tassie is home to some of deadliest critters in Oz.
Some suburbs including Moonah, Derwent Park, Gagebrook and Clarendon Vale can be a little unsafe at night, so it's best to keep away if you're alone and unfamiliar with the area.
Getting There And AroundBeing an island, you're limited to two options – flying directly into Hobart or taking the Melbourne to Launceston ferry and driving down. Many mainlanders choose the latter option because of the freedom it gives them, but Metro Tasmania provides great bus services if you prefer to go public.

Kentucky's pro-business climate provides a number of incentives for businesses. The Kentucky
Economic Development Finance Authority (KEDFA), established within the Cabinet for Economic
Development to encourage economic development, business expansion, and job creation,
provides financial support through an array of financial assistance and tax credit programs.
Helping businesses in this way furthers the Commonwealth's goals of achieving long-term
economic growth and employment opportunities for its citizens.
Kentucky's economic development incentive toolbox was further enhanced when Governor Steve
Beshear signed into law House Bill 3, known as Incentives for the New Kentucky (INK), in
June 2009, streamlining and modernizing Kentucky's business incentive programs. The landmark
legislation revamps key existing programs, while also creating several new programs to
further encourage new investment and job creation in the Commonwealth. One of those
programs is the Kentucky Small Business Investment Credit (KSBIC) program, the first tax
credit program of its kind for small businesses in Kentucky.
KEDFA approval is required for participation in the loan and tax incentive programs, except
the Skills Training Investment credits, which are approved by the Bluegrass State Skills
Corporation (BSSC). KEDFA meets the last Thursday of each month. Projects must be received
by the last Friday of the month prior to the KEDFA meeting date in order to be considered.
To find out if your business qualifies contact the
Department for Business Development where a professional economic development
agent will be assigned to work with you. Your agent can answer your questions and
guide you through the application processes.
The following tourism-related incentives are administered through the Kentucky Tourism,
Arts and Heritage Cabinet.

Hungary is a country with a great history. This small country has had quite a hard time, after several invasions of different empires, Hungary and the Hungarian nation survived the devastation of the Tartars and Turks, Habsburgs and Russians in the Carpathian Basin, the country survived the fact that it belonged among the losers of both world wars.
All these changes have made Hungary the country it is now, a warm welcoming and tourist region. The Hungarian people are born entertainers; they like to give you and other visitors of their country a warm welcome.

Click this link for the latest CW renewal / cancellation information:
Our Renew / Cancel Index predicts the network's decision on renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows by the end of the 2012-13 season in May, 2013. (includes results from September 17-November 18, 2012):
|Renew/ Cancel Index
|Nikita (F)
|Emily Owens, M.D.
|Gossip Girl
|final season
|Hart Of Dixie
|Beauty And The Beast
|Vampire Diaries
CW dramas The Beauty & The Beast, Hart Of Dixie and 90210 are all "toss ups" for cancellation or renewal by the end of the season.
Here are the cancellation and renewal scenarios for each of them:
- 90210: If it gets what has recently become a typical short final season for "end of life" CW shows, it gets renewed. Otherwise, it's ratings indicate certain cancellation.
- Heart of Dixie: If its ratings stay even with or above Beauty & The Beast it gets renewed, mostly because its a second season show. If 90210 gets canceled, it gets renewed. If neither of those two things happen, it gets canceled.
- Beauty & The Beast: If its ratings stay above Hart Of Dixie, it gets renewed. If 90210 gets canceled, it gets renewed. If neither of those two things happen, it gets canceled.
- All 3: For each spring drama (Cult or The Carries Diaries) that gets renewed, an additional one of those first three will need to be canceled. However, if the CW schedules America's Next Top Model entirely in the summer, it would open up another Fall slot, and remove the need to cancel one more of those shows.
Emily Owens, M.D. is certain to be canceled.
How can Nikita with absolutely "look away" bad ratings be "likely to be renewed"? The pull of a fourth season for syndication purposes is one of the strongest forces in the TV universe. Read more about it here.
Better to Follow The Bear, Than Be Chased By Him. This season you can follow the Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear. The Cancellation Bear will retweet all the Renew/Cancel Index post titles and links as well as engage in a little more back and forth banter than we do on our standard @TVbytheNumbers Twitter feed.
- - certain to be cancelled by May, 2013
- :cry:- more likely to be cancelled than renewed by May, 2013
- - toss up between renewal or cancellation by May, 2013
- - more likely to be renewed than cancelled by May, 2013
- - certain to be renewed by May, 2012
The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show's new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It's calculated by dividing a show's new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show's own network. The network's average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.

HEUVELTON A long-awaited sewer rehabilitation project in the village is slated to begin in late summer or early fall.
The $3 million project will repair or replace most of the villages 45-year-old sewer system, said Mayor Barbara A. Lashua, and is expected to be finished in the spring.
Funded through a $2 million grant from the state Environmental Facilities Corp., a $500,000, 30-year, no-interest loan from the EFC and an anticipated $500,000 grant through the North Country Regional Development Council, the project will modernize Heuveltons sewer system, Mrs. Lashua said.
Because the work will be villagewide, Mrs. Lashua said, there may be minor inconveniences for residents.
She said some roads may have only one lane open during construction as parts of the sewer system are worked on, and residents may be asked to limit water use.
There should be no loss of service, Mrs. Lashua said, adding the projects plans include adding bypasses to allow the systems continued use during construction.
Carrie M. Tuttle, engineering director for the Development Authority of the North Country, said public meetings will be organized before construction to field residents questions.
The project is likely to reduce operating costs as the new system reduces the amount of groundwater spilling into the sewer system.
Ms. Tuttle said that will reduce the amount of water the sewer treatment plant has to process, make the flow more consistent and lower the villages electric bill.
With most of the work expected to be completed in the fall and next spring, Ms. Tuttle said, construction crews will likely work on upgrading the treatment plants electrical system during the winter.
No one will know the work is going on, Mrs. Lashua said, emphasizing the projects limited impact on residents.
She said the project also may include adding meters to regulate sewer use if funding is available.
The addition of meters in the village would enable more accurate billing, Mrs. Lashua said.
Capital Consultants Architecture and Engineering, Canton, is overseeing the project.

- How to Read a Study Record
Japanese encephalitis is the single largest cause of viral encephalitis in the world today. It occurs in yearly post monsoon outbreaks in Uttar Pradesh and other parts of India and south east Asia. There is presently no antiviral drug of proven benefit for this illness and treatment is mostly supportive. The drug Ribavirin is already in the market in use for other indications. It has been found useful in West Nile encephalitis and various hemorrhagic fevers caused by related arboviruses. This is a double blind placebo of Ribavirin in Japanese encephalitis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such trial in the world. The study hypothesis is that children treated with ribavirin will be no different from those getting placebo in terms of mortality, length of hospital stay, days to return to consciousness and oral feeds, days to become afebrile and convulsion free and in 3 month sequelae rate.

When running away from the Balrog, Boromir is the first to reach the bottomless stairs and Legolas pulls him back to safety. When this piece was shot, there were many retakes, and each time Sean Bean would get pulled back by Orlando Bloom, Bean would land back onto Bloom's soft lap, while Bloom would slam back onto the hard steps with the full weight of the two of them. As a result, Bloom had bruising on his backside and legs, for some time. Bloom joked, "I gave Sean a few beatings for that, I can tell ya." Cast commentary, extended DVD.
When Merry and Pippin have just taken the dragon firework from Gandalf's cart and are in the tent tossing it back and forth, Pippin shrieks when it goes off. Apparently, Peter Jackson had told Billy Boyd it would only spark and fizzle, so he was fairly surprised when it shot off in his hands. He talks about this in the commentary on the DVD.
When filming "Fellowship," the actors playing the Hobbits required hours of work just to get on their Hobbit feet. It was so long and terrible that Sean Astin (Sam) counted the amount of times they had to put their feet on when it never showed up on camera in that day of filming. The final count was 50.
When the four Hobbits are in the woods running from the Ringwraiths, they run onto the boat at Buckleberry ferry and go to Bree. Merry, Pippin and Sam get on alright but Frodo has to jump. The first time the filmmakers shot this scene, Elijah Wood jumped right over the ferry and into the water on the other side.
According to the book, Frodo is the oldest of the Hobbits in the Fellowship, but Elijah Wood, who plays Frodo, is actually the youngest of all the Fellowship actors - he was seventeen when filming began. The actors who played the younger Hobbits (Merry, Samwise and Pippin) - Dominic Monaghan, Sean Astin and Billy Boyd - ranged in age from 23 to 31 at the beginning of filming. Ironically, in the book Pippin is the youngest of the four Hobbits, whereas Billy Boyd, who played Pippin was actually the oldest of the four actors portraying the Hobbits.
Sean Bean (Boromir) was deathly afraid of riding in the helicopter that had to take the actors to and from the many filming locations. After the scene on Caradharas, the one where Boromir tries to take the ring from Frodo, Bean refused to go anywhere else by helicopter. Many times he had to take a ski lift and climb many hundred feet in full Boromir gear to get to the set.

My name is Kristan T. Harris. I have run for political office and have worked a political grass roots campaign for Ron Paul. I was nominated and elected to the GOP platform committee in 2012. I am a huge advocate for liberty and freedom.I am a libertarian at heart. I am also a news junkie and love a good mystery.
Bizarre Skeletons Unearthed In Russian Mound, Satyr and Giant Horse
Kristan T. Harris | The Rundown Live
If the reports are true, bizarre skeletons have been unearthed in Nevinnomyssk, Stavropol Krai, Russia that would point to a systematic floccinaucinihilipilification of all aspects surrounding macro evolution. Russia NTV reports Stavropol archaeologists have discovered the unearthing of bizarre skeletons when opening an ancient mound. The mound first produced a strange skeleton that can be best described as "Satyr like".
Sergey Savenko, one of the discoverers of the satyr like skeleton suggested his first thought was that there was "no scientific explanation for what just unearthed". " What if the Stavropol archaeologists have discovered a previously unknown anomalous creature to mankind?" Savenko described the skeleton as having a goat like body with a human head.
Relatively close to the Satyr like skeleton the expedition accidentally unearthed the remains of a horse of epic proportions. The warhorse was of giant size with a shoulder span of almost two meters and was buried with honors uncharacteristic for an animal in that period.
Anna Shvyreva, Department of Nature in the Stavropol Museum stated: "A special bath shrine was dug in the ground for this horse. It was filled with grass, and horse was on its back in the tub. "
The skeleton was sent for examination and expert anthropologists have refuted all the theories of this being a mythological species, but have not disclosed results of their tests.
|English translation of video below|
Archaeologists have been extremely puzzled when they found a medieval mound strange creature, and at some distance from this gigantic horse herbal bath.
In Nevinnomyssk ordinary, in general, the excavation of an ancient burial mound became virtually episode of "The X-Files." Archaeologists have found so mysterious artefacts that the experts, just as Dana Scully in the series, denying all non-scientific version of the scientific explanation, yet to offer anything they can not.
NTV correspondent Maxim Berezin considered the findings.
The name of this unique artifact was not invented by science fiction fans, and most that are on the conservative scholars. In the ancient burial-place, uncovered during the excavation, it was discovered a strange thing – sheep skeleton with a human skull. More refined definition than chelovekobaran, their discovery, archaeologists were not able to pick up.
Anna Shvyreva, Department of Nature in the Stavropol Museum: "What is it chelovekobaran? That is, there was a combination of cranial young person under 25 years of age and body rams. "
Sergey Savenko, one of the discoverers of chelovekobarana in the head at first climbed unscientific thought: what if the Stavropol archaeologists have discovered a previously unknown anomalous creature to mankind? Order not disturb the skeleton was sent for examination.
Sergey Savenko, Pyatigorsk museum: "They found an analogy, it's even geographically not so far, this is the territory of Crimea. There have been dumping human skeleton was almost complete, but the hands and feet were cut somewhere to elbow and put in charge of the animal bones were, presumably, a goat. "
Experts anthropologists have refuted all the fantastic theories, but none of the puzzles Nevinnomyssky burial is not disclosed.
Mysterious burial can excite the imagination of not only archaeologists. Dark Ages – that is all that is known about him yet, some information about the ritual of the specialists there, perhaps because of such artifacts in the North Caucasus had been found.
For all other archaeological features Nevinnomyssk burial is typical for its era. In the afterlife of the deceased was seen off, observing the necessary rituals. The tomb was found weapons and utensils.
Sergey Savenko: "It's really an unique ritual situation. Whether it was a special man, who had to bury so. "
The Adventures of archaeologists from the very beginning Nevinnomyssk bought some anti-scientific tone. Not far from the first discovery expedition accidentally unearthed the remains of a horse epic proportions. Warhorse had giant growth – almost two meters at the shoulder(1 meter ≈ 1.09361 yards), and was buried with honors uncharacteristic of the animal.
Anna Shvyreva, Department of Nature in the Stavropol Museum: "For this horse had been dug in the ground a special bath. It was filled with grass, and horse in the tub on his back. "

Security & Flood Lights
Security lights provide a sense of safety in two ways. First, the most obvious, is exposing the presence of any potential intruder. Second, they provide safety and convenience for any quick nighttime runs outside (taking out the trash, getting something from the car, and so forth). Adjustable outdoor flood lights provide a broad wash of light, eliminating a wide expanse of darkness in one fell swoop. Those with motion detectors automatically come on when needed and off when not, providing additional, and unexpected, comfort with their energy efficiency.

Here's a quick rundown of Power Rankings and where the Jets are standing on the national scene right now.

"They proved by beating the Patriots last week that they are a legitimate contender. They do have to work on that pass defense. They get their crack at Tennessee this week." — [CBS/Prisco – 5th]

Chicago Fire
Iconic Mexican legend and former Fire attacker Cuauhtemoc Blanco has announced he'll retire following Lobos BUAP's finish of the Liga de Acenso's Apertura tournament next year.
Rated as perhaps the best Mexican player of all-time, Blanco became the first Designated Player in Chicago Fire history when he signed with the Men in Red in 2007. He'd go on to appear in 77 matches, tallying 19 goals and 28 assists with Chicago through the 2009 season before returning to Mexico with Veracruz.
As part of the club's 15th Anniversary in 2012, Blanco was also named as one of the Top 15 players in Chicago Fire history.
Blanco is Mexico's second all-time leading goal scorer, tallying 39 goals across 119 appearances and represented "El Tri" at the 1998, 2002 and 2010 FIFA World Cups.
Most interestingly, the above article also states that one of his planned send off friendlies next year will be in the United States...
The club announced Wednesday that Fire Original and Ring of Fire member C.J. Brown would be returning to the Men in Red as an assistant coach under Frank Yallop.
As the longest tenured Fire player of all time and the club's appearance record holder, C.J.'s return is a special one for old and young supporters of the club. To celebrate C.J. coming back to the Windy City, we're giving supporters three chances to win autographed C.J. Brown jerseys today via Fire Social Media.

STAY TUNED: We'll announce the winners on Thursday morning!
The Chicago Fire is proud to show its ongoing support for the Greater Chicago Food Depository by participating in the organization's Social Donation Plate campaign. The objective of the campaign is to help raise awareness and collect funds for hunger relief this holiday season.
The campaign features special, customized social donation plates from prominent Chicago figures, institutions and teams. Supporters of the cause will be asked to virtually "sign" their favorite plate and make a modest donation. Once a donation is made, the user experience allows individuals to "pass the plate" to friends via social media.
In support of hunger relief, the Fire has created a social donation plate for fans and supporters to virtually sign and pass along within the community.
"We're happy to continue our partnership with the Greater Chicago Food Depository and assist them in their efforts to raise awareness and funds for hunger relief," said Chicago Fire Senior Director of Community Relations Jessica Yavitz. "I think the social donation plate campaign is a great way for our fans to engage in the cause, as well. We're thrilled to help promote this unique project and collaborate to end hunger in our community."

Newly crowned 2013 Volkswagen MLS MVP Mike Magee spoke briefly with local Chicago media via conference call Thursday. Below is a transcript of the conversation
On initial reaction to receiving the honor…
First and foremost, this still feels a little surreal. The year was great — all but the ending. I'm so thankful to be a part of such an amazing organization as the Chicago Fire and blessed to be home with my family. I'm pumped that people voted for me, and completely humbled by it. Like I said, it's still very surreal.
On envisioning this moment/achievement beforehand…
I never envisioned receiving this award. I absolutely never had my sights set on it. Obviously, the last time I was thinking about getting an award like MVP was probably in U16 club soccer, so it's been a long time. After 16, the first time I thought about it was probably when Taylor Twellman mentioned it during a broadcast of a game earlier this season.
On when winning the award became a realistic idea…
I think towards the end of the year, I thought I had a chance, but I was so focused on trying to get my team to the playoffs. Obviously, when we came up short, I thought I had no chance, and then once Camilo scored a hat trick in his game, I thought luck wasn't on my side. So, this definitely came as a surprise.
On the award helping make a case for a call up to U.S. Men's National Team…
I don't think it hurts it, but as far as helping it, probably not that much. I think Jurgen is a very smart man and obviously a good coach. I don't think he's going around checking stats or seeing what individual awards guys got. At least I hope not. Well, for my sake, I hope he is. [Laughs] But for the sake of our country, I hope he's not.
On being grouped with other Chicago MVPs, such as Michael Jordan and Walter Payton…
When you put it that way, obviously, it's amazing. Not by any means am I calling myself Michael Jordan or Walter Payton, but to be on a short list or any list at all with the likes of guys I grew up loving and pretending to be — to be on any list with them is a list I will certainly keep.
With his announcement as 2013 MLS MVP Thursday, Mike Magee joined an exclusive list of Chicago athletes that have won their league's Most Valuable Player awards.
Magee's name joins the likes of Michael Jordan, Walter Payton, Stan Mikita, Ernie Banks and Frank Thomas in the Chicago MVP club.
UPDATE! Magee did a short conference call with local media following this afternoon in Kansas City and I had the nerve to ask him what it felt like to be included in such a club. His answer:
"When you put it that way, obviously, it's amazing. Not by any means am I calling myself Michael Jordan or Walter Payton, but to be on a short list or any list at all with the likes of guys I grew up loving and pretending to be — to be on any list with them is a list I will certainly keep."

Since 2001, the Mock World Cup Draw has been a fixture of sorts in the Crandall Household. Let's be real though, the scale of it was quite small and usually just consisted of me pulling names out of a hat alone in my room.
Alas, Wednesday I took advantage of the soccer constituency available around the club's Toyota Park office and welcomed my co-workers to the 2014 Chicago Fire Mock World Cup draw in Conference Room 1...
All of the spelled out procedures for Friday's draw were followed, such as pulling the odd ninth team out of the European Pot. Fire Season Ticket Services Representative Emily Morris assisted with this and randomly selected England.
We also automatically placed hosts Brazil into Group A…
And then began placing the remaining seven seeds into their groups...
Which ended up looking like this...
Then in order to place England into a group, we put the four South American teams back into a Pot, and drew....
Finally, we drew the mixed South America/Africa pot and came away with this grouping...
Emily then began to draw the mixed CONCACAF/AFC pot...With many in the room holding U.S. and Mexico cheering interests, this proved most dramatic...
The European pot was the last to be drawn, adding to the drama and finality of the mock draw. A proud U.S. Men's National Team supporter, Emily was left doing this face after completing the draw...
And this is why...
Suffice to say, no U.S. fan came away from this exercise doing this...
...but thankfully, I'm not Sepp Blatter and this thing was just for fun.
Do your own mock draw ahead of Friday's official event (the spelled out procedures can be found here). Then join us for our World Cup Draw Bracket Brunch Friday from 10am-noon at Fado (100 W. Grand Ave.).
FIFA revealed the pots and procedures for the 2014 FIFA World Cup draw set to be held Friday morning in Coasta do Sauipe, Brazil.
The Pots:
Pot 1 (Seeds): Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, Colombia, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Uruguay
Pot 2 (CAF/CONMEBOL): Algeria, Cameroon, Chile, Ecuador, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria
Pot 3 (AFC/CONCACAF): Australia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Iran, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, USA
Pot 4 (UEFA): Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, England, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia*
The procedure:
Step One: This is really the only variation from the previous wisdom on the draw. Instead of putting the lowest seeded team (in this case France) into Pot 2, FIFA will randomly draw one team out of Pot 4 to go into the mix CAF/CONMEBOL group of teams.
Step Two: Pot 1 will be drawn with Brazil automatically going into Group A. The rest of the seeded teams will be randomly drawn into Groups B-H and will also automatically take Position 1 (B1, C1, D1, etc…) in their group. This is important because there is already a set schedule which corresponds to each group position.
Step Three: With a mixed pot of three confederations, Pot 2 would run the risk of breaking FIFA's rule of geographic separation which keeps nations from the same confederation (outside of two from UEFA) from being in the same group. In order to avoid having three European teams, there will be an additional "Pot X" featuring the four seeded South American teams. The country drawn out of this pot will automatically be grouped with the carryover UEFA team in the already established group.
Pot two will then be drawn, with all countries being pulled with a corresponding number to assign their group position. In the event that Chile or Ecuador is drawn into a South American seeded group, that group will be skipped with the country going into the next available (European seeded) group.
Step Four: Draw pots three and four.
Step Five: Celebrate or mourn your country's prospects for next summer in Brazil.
Watch all the drama go down with your fellow lovers of the "Beautiful Game" at our World Cup Bracket Brunch this Friday from 10am-noon at Fado (100 W. Grand Avenue)! Stay tuned to Chicago-Fire.com as we'll conduct our own mock draw later on Wednesday.
Mike Magee became the first Chicago Fire player since Wilman Conde in 2009 to grab an MLS Best XI selection on Tuesday. The Chicago native joined an exclusive club of 14 players that have earned the honor while with the Men in Red, adding up to 22 total selections (third highest in MLS) since 1998.
For the record, former Fire captain Chris Armas has the most Best XI selections with the club, earning five (1998-2001, 2003) during his 10-year career with the Men in Red.
See below the club's previous MLS Best XI selections:
Congratulations to Chicago Fire COO Atul Khosla (AK) for being named a member of Crain's Chicago "40 Under 40" class of 2014. Khosla is joined on the list by Hip Hop artist Lupe Fiasco, "The Onion" founder Mike McAvoy and Mike McGee, no not that Magee, the McGee that co-founded The Starter League.
While the Crain's recognition is an individual honor, AK knows that it is really a team award - literally.
"I'm honored and humbled by the recognition from Crain's. Were it not for the tremendous opportunity provided by the Hauptman family, the Club, its incredible fan base and my front office team, I know my name would not be on the list.
"For me, these past two years have been challenging and extremely rewarding. There's a lot to be proud of, but a lot more work to do. It's the opportunity to work with a young, energized and enthusiastic team, both on and off the field, which really inspires me for what's next."
Another congrats to Heather Holtsberg Smith who also made the list for her work as the Marketing Manager for Quaker Foods North America's global grains division.

BUFFALO, NY - The NHL Draft is this Sunday, and barring any trades the Sabres will be picking more than just about everyone.
That's a good thing in a draft that's regarded to be the deepest since 2003 - when the top ten included names like Marc-Andre Fleury, Eric Staal, Thomas Vanek and Ryan Suter.
GM Darcy Regier has ten picks to work with, tied for the most of any team. Four of those are in the first two rounds, including the 8th and 16th overall.
It's only the second time since 1987 that the Sabres have had a pick inside the top 10. The other time was that 2003 draft when they picked Vanek.
There are a lot of names that come up for the Sabres in the first round, and one of those seems to be the popular pick among experts:Swedish forward Elias Lindholm. He's only six feet tall but is still very physical, and he's seen as a fantastic playmaker and scorer.
Also getting attention is Ryan Pulock, a Canadian defenseman with excellent offensive skills who experts say has the ability to develop into a great defender as well.
The draft starts at 3pm on Sunday. Be sure to watch Channel 2 News at 6 for analysis on the Sabres picks.
And starting at 2pm, you can check out the Sabres draft party at the First Niagara Center.It's free with free parking, and there are a lot of activities on the arena floor for the kids as well as a 43% off sale at the Sabres store.
