Coming off Harry Shipp's stunning hat trick display at New York, the halftime broadcast of Sunday's game vs. Sporting KC featured the seven hat tricks that have been recorded by Chicago Fire players in MLS Regular Season play.
Just in case you didn't set your DVR, check out all 21 of the historic goals below:
Who do you think will be the next Fire player to bag a hat trick?
Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop
On the Fire's first win at Toyota Park this season
"Well obviously, last time I saw you guys, it wasn't a pretty sight with the game we had before. But today, we come away with three points against a good side – it's obviously the aim before the match. We got it done; we're unbeaten in two games, which is always a good thing. We dug through and got the result that we needed. We should have shut them off with a couple of chances late in the game, but didn't; and you have to give credit to Kansas City, they kept going, created some chances late with ten men. But it's great to get that win; I feel good that we saw it through. But obviously, there's room for improvement on any performance, and there's no difference for this one."
On the lack of shutouts
"We won the game, would have loved to get the shutout; winning is everything. If we win 3-2, 2-1, whatever it is, we'll take it. Obviously, it's nice defensively if we can get a shutout. But as you know, it wasn't a defensive back four error; it was someone not picking up someone on a set play, so that's a team thing. We're working on stuff all the time; it's brand new, with 10 games in, I'm happy with only losing two games in this league with a group that's been put together a little bit. We've had our ups and downs; we should've won more games for sure. We had two home games that you saw had penalty kicks; we could be on four wins right now. It has me going, "well, that's not bad," so it's give and take. I don't get carried away with winning games; I don't get carried away with losing or tying games. I think, right now, we're in a good spot, we've got a chance to now get going. These next four games are tough; we've got a tough schedule, but it's something that I'm looking forward to, to see and test the character of the boys. They're up for the fight, and we saw this game through, which is important to me, so they're going to feel good about it. We did the same in New York, no matter how the manner is. I got a little bit of gray hair; it could've been silver by the end of the game. But we got the win, and that's all that matters at this point."
On the revamped back line
"It's pretty good; and again, it's a work in progress the whole time, it's a team defensive type of thing. I thought Patrick [Ianni] had a good, solid game again; Jhon [Kennedy Hurtado] again, I thought, was solid in the middle, the two outside backs at times. Kansas City moved the ball well; they get you overloaded at times, they pull you around. In general, they had a couple of good chances; but I thought we had the better chances, to be honest. Dilly [Duka] had a breakaway, Mike [Magee] had a chance to go around a keeper and slot it. I know it was a tough game late in the match, but we could've come away with four or five goals today. The way I'm trying to set the team up is to obviously try to outscore the opponent, and try to make sure that we're going forward, but we're just trying to be solid and defensively sound at the back. The balance at the moment is a little bit wavering; we've gone forward okay, but I think the defensive side of things is not quite right yet; and again, it's not just the back four, it's the whole thing. We watched a lot of DVD last week, we're going to watch it again this week, and see if we can get the balance where we can just be in good spots. And I just think, as a team, we sat back a little bit again in this game. We have to slide up the field and keep the ball, especially against ten men.
On who is taking penalty kicks
"I actually had a chat with a few press guys a few weeks ago, and I decided Jeff [Larentowicz] was going to take them. But Mike [Magee] and Jeff were talking, and Jeff felt that Mike was the guy to do it. He missed the last two for us; last season [against Montreal], then the first one against Philly. To score two in the same game is tough, so you have to hand it to Mike that he stepped up and buried those two chances and won the match for us; it was great."
On facing a 3-5-2 formation
"I have not seen that for a while, actually; that was old school MLS stuff, the 3-5-2. But looking at [Kansas City head coach Peter Vermes'] team, it was depleted a little bit at the back, so he decided to play that. It was a little bit different; for us, I'm sure where they're going to play and who's going to play, just make sure we're ready to do it, and step the guys and do our thing. For a good seventy minutes, I felt we were comfortable, and then it got a little hair-raising at the end. But you have to hand it to Peter and his team, they're a good side; they're not champions for nothing. They proved it today; they really came up to fight, especially with 10 men."
On the thought process behind the Fire's double substitution
"I just thought the momentum was getting away from us a little bit, so I just decided that double is always good. One is not always the impact that you want, so I wanted to do two at the same time, and make two positions freshened up. All in all, I thought it was good; I think Logan [Pause] did a good job, and Dilly looked good when he came on. He has not played for a while, so it was good to get him some minutes and get him running around. All in all, you decide what you want to do; I talked to the coaches, but ultimately, it was my decision. I felt it was the time to do it."
Jeff Larentowicz, Chicago Fire Midfielder
On not being able to score to put the game away:
"We want to, it's not something we're afraid of. It's just not happening. We come close, we have opportunities, but they make the defensive plays and good saves, but it will come. A win is a win and it's good that we can be picky in this circumstance."
Sean Johnson, Chicago Fire goalkeeper
On the defensive performance:
"We needed to learn how to control a game and we are. I think tonight that the effort defensively was fantastic. We limited shots, limited chances and there were not many shots on target at all. I think we'll look to build on that going forward, but I'm really happy with the performance tonight.
On the learning curve:
"I think we've learned a lot. The most important thing we've learned is that we can't sit back and wait for the game to come to us. No matter what the result is – regardless if we're tied or we're up we need to keep playing our game and be confident that we can dictate the way the game goes, close out games and get results."
On building momentum:
"Back-to-back wins are huge for us. Now we know what it feels like to win. We know how to win and now it's a matter of focusing on the little things and getting it right so that every game we give ourselves a chance to win and put ourselves in a position to go on and push for three points."
Mike Magee, Chicago Fire forward:
On the first win a home:
"We needed a win badly; however, if that's how we're going to win games, I probably only have a couple games left in my career. We'll take it, it was deserved. It was a very funky game, but we'll take wins however we can get them at this point."
On the end of the game:
"That's kind of been our M.O. We get up in games, play well in spurts then kind of take our foot off the gas. That happened again tonight. We created a couple chances, I even had a couple of good ones, but for whatever reason we're letting teams hang in games, and teams like K.C. usually make you pay."
Harry Shipp, Chicago Fire midfielder
On playing K.C. with missing starters and a man-up in the second half:
"The players they subbed in for them are still really good players. A championship team isn't 11 guys it's 18 guys. When you slide guys into the midfield and up front they are still going to be dangerous. I think they were good keeping the ball in the attacking half, but once we were able to break that pressure we did a good job of slipping balls in – getting Quincy and Mike behind for some penalty calls in the first half."
The Fourth Round draw for the 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup occurred Friday morning at Soccer House in downtown Chicago and with MLS teams entering at this stage, the process was much more elaborate than the straight forward flips from last week's Third Round draw.
Before I lay out how it unfolded, a few bullets to keep in mind…
- I was incorrect in my earlier tweets and statements that a USL PRO affiliate could not be matched with its partner MLS club. I'm a busy guy and sometimes you just have to admit you're not perfect, sorry!
- The only affiliate relationship that needed to be separated for this draw was that of the LA Galaxy and LA Galaxy II who are both owned by the same party.
- USL PRO side Orlando City and their PDL side Orlando City U-23s, are both in the tournament but could not be matched up at this stage as MLS teams must be matched with a lower league pairing.
- Chivas USA was the only MLS club to not apply to host a Fourth Round Open Cup match.
With those done, I will underscore that the most important principle to keep in mind for how pairings are determined comes from Page 7 of the 2014 U.S. Open Cup Handbook. It states:
"After each Third Round pairing has been determined, each Division I (MLS) team entering in the Fourth Round will be matched geographically to play the winner of a specific Third Round pairing. Instances where a logical geographic fit doesn't exist will be resolved by random selection."
As all business as a selfie can be prior to walking into Soccer House...
Upon arrival to Soccer House, Competition Secretary Paul Marstaller handed me a sheet of paper with four geographic groupings, plus a wild card pool. The most straightforward grouping was the top table which featured eight Third Round matchups across from eight MLS teams that made "a logical geographic fit" with those lower league pairings.
The pairings with the result of the coin flip are below. Teams that are not bolded either did not have a suitable home venue or didn't apply to host (U.S. Soccer did not distinguish the reason on this sheet).
|Brooklyn Italians SC (NPSL)/New York Cosmos (NASL)
|New York Red Bulls (MLS)
|Dayton Dutch Lions (USLP)/Indy Eleven (NASL)
|Columbus Crew (MLS)
|RWB Adria (USASA)/Pittsburgh Riverhounds (USLP)
|Chicago Fire (MLS)
|Minnesota United FC (NASL)/Des Moines Menace (USASA
|Sporting Kansas City (MLS)
|Laredo Heat (PDL)/Ft. Lauderdale Strikers (NASL)
|Houston Dynamo (MLS)
|NTX Rayados (USASA)/San Antonio Scorpions (NASL)
|FC Dallas (MLS)
|Arizona United SC (USLP)/Oklahoma City Energy FC (USLP)
|LA Galaxy (MLS)
|Fresno Fuego (PDL)/Sacramento Republic (USLP)
|San Jose Earthquakes (MLS)
For the local Fire fans, I was able to take OFFICIAL VIDEO documenting the Fire's winning coin flip:
The second grouping of matchups pooled three Northeast MLS sides with three lower league pairings. Of note here, Marstaller said that because the Harrisburg City Islanders and Baltimore Bohemians are about equidistant to D.C. United and Philadelphia Union, a flip off between the two sides would be done to determine which club would host the winner of that Third Round Matchup.
Based on alphabet, D.C. United was assigned heads and Philadelphia tails, with the Union winning. Because neither Harrisburg or Baltimore applied to host, no flip was necessary as hosting rights defaulted to the Union.
|Harrisburg City Islanders (USLP)/Baltimore Bohemians (PDL)
D.C. United
Philadelphia Union
United's loss on their first flip resulted in them moving down to the next pairing of two lower league matchups where a similar flip had to occur between New York Greek American Atlas/Richmond Kickers and Reading United AC/Rochester Rhinos to determind who would be D.C.'s opponent.
New York Greek American Atlas (USASA)/Richmond Kickers (USLP)
Reading United AC (PDL)/Rochester Rhinos (USLP)
|D.C. United
Again, determined by alphabet, the New York/Richmond matchup was assigned heads while the other was assigned tails and the coin again flipped to tails matching D.C. United with Reading/Rochester.
This moved New York/Richmond down to a matchup with the New England Revolution and then flips were done to determine the hosting rights for those two matchups with both lower league matchups winning with heads. For the purpose of clarity, here is how that final grouping looked:
|Harrisburg City Islanders (USLP)/Baltimore Bohemians (PDL)
|Philadelphia Union
|Reading United AC (PDL)/Rochester Rhinos (USLP)
|D.C. United
|New York Greek American Atlas (USASA)/Richmond Kickers (USLP)
|New England Revolution
The third grouping was a product of Chivas USA being the only MLS club not to apply for hosting rights. Because of this, Marstaller needed to pair them with lower league matchups in which both clubs applied to host, of which there were two: Atlanta Silverbacks/Chattanooga FC (heads) and Charlotte Eagles/Carolina Railhawks (tails).
A coin flip was done to see who would host Chivas and landed tails giving Charlotte/Carolina the hosting rights. This pushed Atlanta/Chattanooga down to the very ending "Wild Card Pool".
Atlanta Silverbacks (NASL)/Chattanooga FC (NPSL)
Charlotte Eagles (USLP)/Carolina RailHawks (NASL)
|Chivas USA
The fourth pool featured the PSA Elite/LA Galaxy II matchup paired against four MLS teams that were within geographical proximity. While both lower-league teams are based in Southern California, because PSA Elite also did not apply to host, Chivas USA could not be thrown into this group.
The most interesting part of the process Friday was the flip-off between four MLS clubs to determine who would play Galaxy II/PSA Elite.
Again determined by alphabet, Colorado/Portland and Real Salt Lake/Seattle Sounders did a preliminary flip. Both losers in that round (Portland & Real Salt Lake) were moved into the final Wild Card pairing, then Colorado and Seattle did a final flip, with Seattle winning again (which should keep Sigi Schmid somewhat happy) and Colorado also falling to the Wild Card group.
|PSA Elite (USASA)/LA Galaxy II (USLP)
Colorado Rapids
Portland Timbers
Real Salt Lake
Seattle Sounders
One final flip was done to determine the hosting rights for that match with Galaxy II/PSA Elite winning and presumably, since PSA Elite did not apply to host, Sigi will be their biggest fan.
|PSA Elite (USASA)/LA Galaxy II (USLP)
|Seattle Sounders
After all the flips above were done, the Wild Card pool looked like the below table, with MLS clubs placed on the right according to alphabetical order. Because of the odd number of matchups, coin flips could not be used to determine who would play each other so Marstaller placed three slips of paper marked "A", "B" and "C" into plain envelopes. As the matchup moved down from the initial Chivas USA grouping, Atlanta/Chattanooga was assigned "C" while the other two lower-league pairings were assigned "A" and "B" based on alphabetic order.
Orlando City U23s (PDL)/Charleston Battery (USLP)
Tampa Bay Rowdies (NASL)/Orlando City (USLP)
Atlanta Silverbacks (NASL)/Chattanooga FC (NPSL)
Colorado Rapids
Portland Timbers
Real Salt Lake
Marstaller then went down the alphabetic list of MLS sides and drew the slips of paper from the envelopes. When all three matchups had been finalized, final flips for hosting rights occurred, concluding the fourth round Open Cup draw. You can see how the envelopes were drawn and the winner of the flips below:
|Tampa Bay Rowdies (NASL)/Orlando City (USLP)
|Colorado Rapids
|Orlando City U23s (PDL)/Charleston Battery (USLP)
|Portland Timbers
|Atlanta Silverbacks (NASL)/Chattanooga FC (NPSL)
|Real Salt Lake
Following the draw, Marstaller said the published fourth round scenarios would not be accompanied Friday by match dates yet. This is because the Fourth Round has three possible match dates over an eight-day span. With USL PRO and the PDL, along with amateur sides having league games between the June 10-18 Fourth Round window, all clubs that have the potential to host a Fourth Round match will have the weekend to give their preferred hosting date before U.S. Soccer balances the already scheduled league games. Because of the logistical process, hosting dates are expected to be announced sometime next week.
A comprehensive list of who won hosting coin flips can be found below.
|Brooklyn Italians SC (NPSL)/New York Cosmos (NASL)
|New York Red Bulls (MLS)
|Dayton Dutch Lions (USLP)/Indy Eleven (NASL)
|Columbus Crew (MLS)
|RWB Adria (USASA)/Pittsburgh Riverhounds (USLP)
|Chicago Fire (MLS)
|Minnesota United FC (NASL)/Des Moines Menace (USASA
|Sporting Kansas City (MLS)
|Laredo Heat (PDL)/Ft. Lauderdale Strikers (NASL)
|Houston Dynamo (MLS)
|NTX Rayados (USASA)/San Antonio Scorpions (NASL)
|FC Dallas (MLS)
|Arizona United SC (USLP)/Oklahoma City Energy FC (USLP)

Thanks again to the U.S. Soccer staff for being great hosts once again!
The Fire finally picked up three points last week in dramatic fashion with a 5-4 win over Red Bull in New Jersey and will look to make it two on the trot when they welcome defending MLS Cup champs Sporting Kansas City to Toyota Park on Sunday (2pm CT My50/TWCSC-WI/UniMas).
Sporting brings a depleted squad to Chicago but their first loss at home in some time at the hands of the Union on Wednesday night means they come to town with a bad taste in their mouth. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Taking advantage of a depleted SKC defense – testing the makeshift back line
On Sunday, Kansas City will take the field without either member of their famed center backs – Aurelien Collin (injury) and Matt Besler (international duty). Right back Chance Myers is also a doubt. On the outside, Seth Sinovic could be the only regular starter in the back four to play on Sunday while Brazilian Igor Julião had a solid debut in Wednesday's match against Philly.
In the past, SKC have dealt with the loss of Besler due to national team commitments but losing both center backs is a large blow. SKC's patched up defense must have Mike Magee and Quincy Amarikwa licking their lips. Last week we saw Harry Shipp play an absolutely brilliant defense-splitting pass to put Mike Magee in 1v1 with Red Bull 'keeper Luis Robles.
Against SKC, Shipp and whoever plays in the center of midfield alongside Jeff Larentowicz should be looking to play those types of passes in behind the SKC defense to the onrushing Magee or Amarikwa.
Repeating last week's second half tactic on Sunday – putting high pressure on SKC
Amarikwa described Frank Yallop's tactical switch at halftime of the New York game the best. When asked, he said, "We came in at half time and knew we were sitting in too much. We were giving New York too much respect to play and we know we can score goals. That's what we've done consistently this year. So, we said in the second half we're just going to high press, what do we have to lose, and I think it really caught them off guard."
The exact same tactic should be in place from the first whistle against SKC. In Wednesday's match against the Union, Sporting gave up the ball on far too many occasions, many times with minimal pressure applied by the opposition. The Union sat back and used the counter attack to their advantage but for the Fire, forcing a new-look SKC into mistakes will be critical.
If Benji Joya gets the start again in the center of the park, I expect to see more from him in this regard. Joya is slowly but surely improving the defensive side of his game but against a team like SKC, I expect him to take a page out of the Dax McCarty playbook and not allow the SKC players any time on the ball.
Joya has the comfort of Jeff Larentowicz behind him so taking a few risks and pressing higher up the field could reap rewards
Providing more support to the outside backs – wing backs exposed again against NYRB last week
As I discussed last week, a lot of the problems for the Fire defensively stem from attacks coming from the wide areas. That was again the case against the Red Bulls in Saturday's game. It was obvious that NYRB coach Mike Petke told his team to try and isolate Greg Cochrane on the left hand side. During the first half, the Red Bulls attacked almost exclusively down the Fire left. Cochrane certainly held his own but he lacked support from Harry Shipp who was playing in front of him.
On the other side, Lovel Palmer had a tough game in New York. The Red Bulls were again allowed space and time to put in crosses and it really hurt the Fire. Case in point being the Red Bulls first goal, where Eric Alexander was given yards of space to pick out a cross and he duly found the head of Tim Cahill, the best header of a ball in the league.
Against a team like Sporting KC, who put an emphasis on getting their full backs forward to support the outside attackers, the Fire need to try and minimize the amount of 1v1 situations between our outside backs and the SKC wide men.
Prediction: The Fire are hitting KC at the right time: 2-1 Fire with goals from Mike Magee and Benji Joya.

WATCH: No cardiac arrest after 5-4 win in New York
Wednesday night's Art of Futbol at Prairie Production Studio was another fantastic success. Check out some of the pieces as well as interviews from Gonzalo Segares, Benji Joya, Frank Yallop and Foundation Director Jessica Yavitz:
Check out select shots from the Art of Futbol 2014!
We'll probably never know what was said at halftime in the away locker room this weekend in Harrison, NJ. We won't know if things were kicked or thrown, if team leaders screamed, or if, as is Frank Yallop's style, calm orders were dispatched.
What we do know, though, is that players after the game said they came out focused on putting more pressure on NYRB's back line. And we know that whatever was said got the Fire refocused enough to turn around a 2-1 halftime score line, score four goals in 19 minutes and overcome a frustrating start to the season to get their first win.
But that talk will go down in the history of halftime talks because whether or not Yallop Al Pacino'd the squad, they came out re-pumped up to the point where Quincy Amarikwa was ready to do this:
Amarikwa was ready to throw his face in front of Luis Robles's clearance if it meant continuing to pressure NYRB and continuing to build for the Fire the advantage they eventually, if not exactly calmly, rode to three points.
As much as I'd like to picture Yallop standing on chairs and screaming, there are other signs that point to a different kind of leadership at halftime. Look at Mike Magee here, barely five minutes into the second half, extolling the guys to push up and stay up. His eyes are popping out of his forehead!
One of the most competitive guys in the league, Magee could smell NYRB's weakness after Amarikwa tied the game at 2-2. And Magee did his job after the Fire built their three goal cushion, helping through the midfield in the game's dying moments to help the Fire fight off NYRB and finish off the win.
What all this points to is that whatever really went down at halftime, the orders were clearly to pressure NYRB's back line and close out the game. The mistakes Magee, Amarikwa, Patrick Nyarko, and game hero Harry Shipp squeezed out of that back line were exactly what Yallop expected.
The true magic of the situation was that the orders were delivered in a way to convey a strategic, tactics-based message with enough emotional weight to overshadow the recent disappointments in the team's mind. It led to eye-popping bodily sacrifice for the team. Everyone came together for the best 20 minute spell of the season, and it led to a deserved win.

Simon Borg's Instant Replay video series on MLSsoccer.com continues to be destination viewing. In this week's episode, Simon cites the updated FIFA Laws of the Game to explain why Harry Shipp's first goal on Saturday vs. New York stood despite offside shouts from just about everyone in Red Bull Arena.
He also looks at another play the Fire may have gained an advantage on...

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:
|Minute Span
|Total Minutes
|Goal Scorers
|5-4 W at RBNY
|Amarikwa 49, Shipp 53', 58', Nyarko 64'
|7-0 W at KC
|Nowak 72', 81', Stoitchkov 83', 88'
|4-1 W at DAL
|Kubik 7', Razov 16', Kosecki 20', Podbrozny 36'

This was posted by otheos at www.techimo.com and he kindly gave me permision to reprint it here
Ok, one of the things most people get confused about is permissions. So here's an extract from my notes to help everybody remember once and for all ALL permission settings:
You remember, permissions are changed by:
so for example you'd type:Code:chmod 0OGW filename
Now how are these numbers worked out?Code:chmod 0755 myfile
The 0OGW are the 4 values that took 0755 in the above example.
The first 0 is for something else, leave it as ZERO for now.
The second, O sets permissions for the owner of the file
The third, G sets permissions for the group
The last, W sets permissions for the world (i.e everybody else).
Now each of these can have a value from 1 to 7. It is very simple:
so 0444 means allow everybody to read etc.Code:1 = x -execute 2 = w -write 4 = r -read
now if you start adding you get combination permissions:
So it's only the primary values that can be added to form the remaining combination, so 6 can only be 4+2 and not 3+3 as it is meaningless (it is obvious but just making sure )Code:3 = 1+2 = wx -write/execute 5 = 4+1 = rx -read/execute 6 = 4+2 = rw -read/write 7 = 4+2+1 = rwx -read/write/execute
So if you want to set permissions for a file to be rwx for the user but only rx for the group and only r for the world then you'd say...
orCode:chmod 0754 myfile
leaving the first 0 out just making sure you're not messing with anything else.Code:chmod 754 myfile
I hope this helps.

- How to Read a Study Record
During this phase of the study, a focus group will be conducted with young adolescents perinatally infected with HIV and with their caregivers to develop and evaluate the content of the proposed intervention. The purpose of the focus groups is to identify key issues and challenges that often face young adolescents perinatally infected with HIV and their caregivers as well as to elicit suggestions to enhance the feasibility and acceptability of the proposed intervention. The focus groups will be audio recorded and transcribed and reviewed by all involved in future protocol development. Themes will be pulled directly from the focus groups to guide examples and areas of emphasis in the intervention. In addition, proposed measures will be administered to the adolescents and their caregivers and assessed for appropriateness for this population.

|Official Title:
|Development of a Life Skills Intervention for Young Adolescents Perinatally-Infected With HIV and Their Caregivers Part A: Focus Group And Measurement Evaluation
|Study Start Date:
|September 2005
|Study Completion Date:
|May 2006
|Primary Completion Date:
|May 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
This study is designed to collect information from HIV-1 perinatally infected adolescents for the development of a pilot study that will use a life skills intervention model. One focus group comprised of adolescents and one focus group comprised of their caregivers will use a series of open-ended questions to facilitate a group discussion to define the life skills intervention model. Ten young adolescents, ages 11 to 14 years, and their caregivers will participate in these focus groups at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. The protocol will be site-restricted for participation. The responses from the focus group will be used to tailor the proposed life skills intervention model and to provide a detailed description of intervention content including: common peer issues of young adolescents perinatally infected with HIV, typical sexual knowledge and behaviors, typical areas of conflict between adolescents and caregivers, and common ways of managing conflict. In addition, those that participate in the focus group will be asked to complete a series of questionnaires in order to assess the appropriateness of the proposed measurement battery for adolescents perinatally infected with HIV and their caregivers.
Findings from this study (ATN 045- Part A) will be used in the development of a proposal for a pilot study of the life skills intervention model (ATN 045-Part B). The pilot study will examine the feasibility of successfully providing a life skills intervention to HIV-1 infected young adolescents at an ATN clinical site, the acceptability of such an intervention in young adolescents, as well as the logistics of providing such an intervention.

This NYT article is somewhat of a spin since the way the amendments are being offered is not what Coburn had in mind. As the New York Times (pro the bill) article points out - the Democratic leadership is attempting to block minority (opposition) rights. The Senate is using H.R. 146 to pass back to the House the Omnibus Lands Bill in a way to prevent the "motion to recommit". This is an outrageous procedure and an abuse of power.
Senate deal could lead to smooth sailing for public lands omnibus
By NOELLE STRAUB AND ERIC BONTRAGER, Greenwire
Published: March 17, 2009
The Senate is likely to pass the public lands, water and natural resources omnibus bill this week after Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) reached an agreement with Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) to allow votes on six amendments...
...Senate leaders then devised a strategy to use a bill that had already passed the House -- H.R. 146, a proposal to protect Revolutionary War battlefields -- and strip its contents, replacing it with the omnibus lands bill. Because H.R. 146 has already passed the House, the House Rules Committee can approve a closed rule that would block a motion to recommit, eliminating the GOP's best procedural chance to stymie the bill....
...Because the omnibus may only require a simple majority, Natural Resources Committee ranking member Doc Hastings (R-Wash.) admitted that the bill is all but assured to pass.
While pleased that the Reid-Coburn agreement will allow some amendments on the Senate side
,he reiterated that House Republicans have never had the same opportunity. "This skirts the House's right to have a say on how the bill should be amended," he said. "This is not regular order."
The following papers will help those who wish to understand further what is being done and why. The motion to recommit allows the minority a chance to amend a bill on the floor. In a legislative body in which the party in power controls nearly everything, it is one of the few tools the minority has to effect change. The current Omnibus maneuver is being done to prevent the rights of the minority.
House explanation of The Motion to Recommit
The Motion to Recommit in the House: The Creation, Evisceration, and Restoration of a Minority Right (2003)
Donald R. Wolfensberger - Director, The Congress Project, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars
"Seizing on a 1934 ruling by the Speaker that the Rules Committee could limit the type of amendments that could be offered in a motion to recommit, Democratic leaders began directing the Rules Committee in the late 1970s to limit the minoritys right, and, by the 1980s, to selectively deny any amendments in motions to recommit on major bills of importance to the majority party.
This practice was reversed when the Republican minority became a majority in 1995, and it fully restored the minoritys right in House rules. Today that guarantee is the thin reed on which the majority often rests its case of fairness to the minority, while otherwise severely limiting or prohibiting other amendments. This development tends to reaffirm the rational choice explanation that rules are made to advance the preferences of the majority and to guard against threats by the minority to defeat or distort those preferences.
However, it remains to be seen how long any majority can sustain itself on such a strained concept of minority rights and fairness--especially in an institution which, for the better part of two centuries, has prided itself on honoring the rights of all members to participate in the legislative process.
If the past is prologue, majorities so inclined always sow the seeds of their own destruction."
Another viewpoint:
The Motion to Recommit in the House of Representatives: Effects, Recent Trends, and Options for Change (2008)
Congressional Research Service - Megan S. Lynch
Analyst on the Congress and Legislative Process Government and Finance Division
"In practice, the motion to recommit is typically offered after the previous question has been ordered on a measure, but before the House votes on final passage. Preference in recognition for offering a motion to recommit is given to a member of the minority party who is opposed to the bill.
It is not in order for the House Committee on Rules to report a special rule that would preclude the offering a motion to recommit a bill
or joint resolution prior to its initial passage, including a motion to recommit which contains amendatory instructions."

this is taken from one of the transcripts of the voting last night.
Here is the link to the whole article:
As with my Owyhee wilderness legislation, not everyone got exactly what they wanted, but both sides made concessions and believe the result is something they can put their support behind. As a result, this omnibus lands bill is widely supported and represents a diverse group of interests from every region of the country. Because of this, I strongly urge my colleagues to support its passage swiftly this week.
I would ask how is it widely supported and by who or what groups.
I am going to send an email to Mr. Crapo asking about this. I am sure I will not get a reply, as I am not from his state.

SENATE APPROVES OMNIBUS AGAIN, SETTING UP HOUSE TEST -by James Coffin, Public Lands News
The Senate was near approval at press time of an omnibus lands bill (S 22) that is, in turn, expected to induce the House to approve the measure.
The Senate attached S 22 to a bill (S 146) to protect Revolutionary War and War of 1812 battlefields. The House had rejected a previous version of S 22 March 11 in a 282-to-144 vote, or a couple of votes short of the margin needed to pass under the procedure the House was using to consider the bill.
The Senate made one important change to S 22 designed to garner more House support: It made clear the bill would not hinder hunting, fishing or other recreational activities on public lands.
Said Senate Energy Committee Chairman Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), "I understand that some members in the House of Representatives expressed concern that the portion of the bill pertaining to Wild and Scenic Rivers and National Trails and National Heritage Areas might somehow be construed to limit access for authorized hunting, fishing, and trapping activities."
So the Senate adopted this language, "Nothing in this title shall be construed as affecting access for recreational activities otherwise allowed by law or regulation, including hunting, fishing, or trapping."
Under a Senate floor arrangement Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) allowed chief bill critic Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) to offer six amendments. None are expected to pass. Coburn sought to:
* Prohibit the use of eminent domain to acquire land.
* Require an annual report detailing total size and cost of federal property.
* Remove provisions restricting renewable energy development on public lands.
* Bar new construction in general.
* Eliminate criminal penalties "for taking stones that may contain insignificant fossils."
* Strike out "frivolous waste" in the bill (five bills.)
Once the Senate finishes S 22, as attached to S 146, it will go back to the House where it is expected to be addressed either under expedited procedures or under regular procedures where only a simple majority would be needed.
Either way, bill opponent John J. Duncan (R-Tenn.) said he expects S 22 to pass eventually. "All this (March 11 vote) really means is that it will now be taken up under regular order, where it should have been in the first place and which requires only a majority vote," he said. "Thus there is no question this bill will pass the next time it's taken up."
Some supporters are optimistic. "The bill is likely to come up again in the House and we expect it to be enacted into law this year," said The Wilderness Society.
Bingaman, the lead sponsor of S 22, laid out this strategy on the Senate floor: "In an effort to facilitate consideration of this package of bills in the other body, it is my hope that we will be able to attach the omnibus lands package to another bill that has already passed the House of Representatives and send it back where, hopefully, it can be quickly approved."
But some Republican critics, even though they lost a key filibuster vote by a margin of 73-to-21, hammered at the bill for withdrawing key energy resources from development. Coburn focused on a statement from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) that S 22 was a "noncontroversial" bill.
Said Coburn, "We are going to have on the floor what the majority leader calls a 'noncontroversial' bill; a noncontroversial bill, in that we are going to take 3 million acres and deem it untouchable for further energy for this country; noncontroversial in that we are going to spend - in mandatory spending yearly from now on out - $900 million a year on things you will never see the benefit of; noncontroversial in terms of taking specific areas with known, proven oil and gas reserves - to the tune of 300 million barrels of oil and 13 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Yet it is noncontroversial."
But Coburn's fellow Republican, ranking minority Senate Energy Committee member Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), took issue with him on the impact of the bill on energy development. First, she said, "In fact, the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Forest Service have certified in testimony, in response to questions, that none of the wilderness proposed in this legislation will negatively impact on the availability of oil, gas, or national energy corridors."
Then she addressed a key provision of the bill that would authorize non-federal interests to buy out oil and gas leases on 1.2 million acres of the Wyoming Range of the Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming. She said the provision "is fully supported by their State delegation and their Governor."
Despite the new Senate strategy, some senators and House members who had sponsored some of the 161 individual bills in the omnibus measure were looking to move their bills by themselves. For instance, Sens. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and James E. Risch (R-Idaho) intend to move an Owyhee lands bill that would designate 517,000 acres of BLM-managed wilderness.
"Despite falling just two votes short in the House, we will continue to press ahead with efforts to pass the Owyhee Initiative legislation," Crapo said. "The process of collaboration is succeeding in solving long-standing issues in Idaho and that process is too important to be cut short by one vote in the U.S. Congress."
The House took up S 22 the first time March 11 under a Suspension of the Rules procedure that required a three-fifths majority to pass. The Senate had first passed the bill January 15. Senate leaders told the House it had to pass S 22 without modification, further limiting flexibility in the House.
House critics of S 22, particularly western Republicans, objected most vociferously to a provision that would certify a 27 million-acre National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) managed by BLM.
But Rep. Rep. Ra£l M Grijalva (Ariz.), chairman of the House subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands, defended the provision. "I am particularly proud of the inclusion of my legislation, the National Landscape Conservation System within the Bureau of Land Management," he said.
In approving S 22 the first time the Senate clarified that all conservation areas within the California Desert Conservation Area (CDCA) would be considered part of the NLCS. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) had said last year she would offer an amendment to ensure the entire 10 million-acre CDCA was in the system.
The bill language says that the NLCS includes "Any area designated by Congress to be administered for conservation purposes, including. . . public land within the California Desert Conservation Area administered by BLM for conservation purposes."
According to BLM the NLCS contains 27 million acres, including 4.8 million acres of national monuments, 14 million areas of conservation areas, 1.4 million acres of "similar designations," 7.7 million acres of wilderness areas, 13.8 million acres of wilderness study areas, and one million acres of wild and scenic rivers.
The omnibus bill is opposed by a wide range of interests, beginning with western House Republicans and including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, private property rights advocates, powered recreation advocates, and conservative think tanks.
The Senate Energy Committee developed the omnibus lands package based on committee-passed bills. Not all committee-passed bills made the cut because both Democratic and Republican committee leaders enjoyed a veto. The idea was to produce a bill that provides something for everyone on both sides of the aisle. Bingaman said Republicans and Democrats sponsored almost equal numbers of bills in the package.
In addition to the NLCS measure, S 22 contains these initiatives:
* WYOMING RANGE: the bill from Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) would authorize non-federal interests to buy out oil and gas leases on 1.2 million acres of the Wyoming Range of the Bridger-Teton National Forest.
* OWYHEE LANDS (IDAHO): the bill from Sen. Crapo would designate 517,000 acres of BLM-managed wilderness. An alliance of retired BLM employees, the Public Lands Foundation, objects to the bill and says that before designating wilderness sponsors should work with BLM to identify precise boundaries.
* WILDERNESS (NINE OTHER BILLS): several individual wilderness bills would protect up to 2 million acres, including: Wild Monongahela Wilderness (West Va.), Virginia Ridge and Valley Wilderness (Va.), Mt. Hood Wilderness (Ore.), Copper Salmon Wilderness (Ore.), Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument (Ore.), Owyhee (Idaho), Sabinoso Wilderness (N.M.), Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore Wilderness (Mich.), Oregon Badlands Wilderness (Ore.), Spring Basin Wilderness (Ore.), Eastern Sierra and Northern San Gabriel Wilderness (Calif.), Riverside County Wilderness (Calif.), Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks Wilderness (Calif.), and Rocky Mountain National Park Wilderness (Colo.)
* OTHER MEASURES: individual bills that would designate three new National Park System units, authorize additions to nine existing National Park System units; authorize by our count a dozen land exchanges and conveyances; designate four national trails; authorize studies of additions to four National Historic Trails (all in the West: Oregon National Historic Trail, Pony Express National Historic Trail, California National Historic Trail, and The Mormon Pioneer National Historic Trail); add three wild and scenic rivers including the Snake River Headwaters in Wyoming; and designate a Snowy River Cave National Conservation Area of about 3.5 miles of cave passages in Lincoln County, N.M.

I have a javascript menu with this call (and many other similar):
http://22.214.171.124/cgi-bin/nl/nldemo.b ... ASK=IIMXKS
the "SESSION_NO" part of the call tells our system the username and password of the customer logged in. If you haven't logged in, either with username and password or as a new customer, you have no session number. I would like the call above to be able to check for a session number and, if there isn't one, redirect the user to this call instead:
http://22.214.171.124/cgi-bin/nl/nldemo.b ... _id=clogin
I was told that I could use PHP:
<? if (session_id=="){do thelogin ;} ?> but I don't know anything about PHP at all. Even if that is exactly the right command I don't know where to put it.
Somebody at another forum suggested a redirect PHP, but it doesn't work. I don't think the responder took into account that I wouldn't want to redirect from every page, just when someone selects a menu option that needs a session_no.
PS-If you try that first link with the session_no, it will probably be timed out. IF you wanted to try it out, you could go to the second link and use the new customer link and go from there.
Any ideas? It would be greatly appreciated!!!!

DIY: Colored Chalkboard VasesMonday, March 21st, 2011
Greetings, I hope you had a lovely weekend! I spent mine mostly indoors with big rainstorms hitting our area, so I had a little fun inside doing some crafting.
I had two quarts of tinted chalkboard paint sitting in my garage, waiting for some projects I plan to get to in the near future. I couldn't resist the idea of 'sampling' the colors this past weekend making some colored chalkboard vases. Fun fun fun! Something about the notion of leaving sentimental or seasonal notes on glass appealed to me, so I tinkered around creating a few versions around the house.
Every time I bring home fresh flowers, whether from the grocery store or farmer's market, my 7 year old asks me for a single stem for her room. Love that! I thought it would be sweet to make a little chalkboard vase for her in a bright colored paint , one where I could write little encouraging notes or endearing sentiments.
This bud vase was created with Rust-Oleum's 'Raspberry' shade.
And this gray label with Hudson Paint's 'So Stone' tint:
This is such a fun way to personalize vases, whether for you, or for a housewarming gift, or perhaps someone recovering from illness. These make a great gift for friends too!

CrockPot Honey and Apricot Glazed Duck
Day 350.
Duck. It's what's for dinner. I had planned on making a duck (or 2) this year, but sort of forgot about it until Kiy emailed me last week. She wanted to make a duck for Christmas, but the last duck she made created a huge mess in the oven. I hate messes.
This didn't make a mess, but duck has SO much juice in it, that it did fall off the bones, even with a short cooking time and not much added liquid. The meat is delicious, but you just aren't going to get the same presentation when it comes out of a crockpot as you do when it comes out of an oven. Or when a restaurant serves it. That said, the sweetness of the meat was great, and the kid who tasted it thought it was just like chicken.
The Ingredients. --4 to 5 lb duck
--1/2 tsp oregano
--1/4 tsp pepper
--1 tsp garlic salt
--1/2 tsp lemon rind
--2 tsp cornstarch
--1/3 cup apricot preserves
--1 T soy sauce (La Choy and Tamari wheat-free are GF)
--2 T honey
--2 T lemon juice
The Directions.
Skin the duck, and remove the neck and giblets (ick). I'm getting much better at skinning things! I deserve a merit badge. The skin on a duck is quite fatty on the breast, but the back is bony and I had a hard time removing the skin from it. I chose to leave a bit of skin on the wings and drumsticks to see if they would brown.
They didn't. There was a lot of juice in the pot. If you have a little rack that fits inside your crockpot, use it. I don't have one, but today I'm going to dig around and see what I can use---maybe the little steamer rack thing from the rice cooker? Updated 12/16: You DO need a little rack. Read what I did, here.
Mix all dry spices, including cornstarch and lemon rind in a small bowl. Rub mixture all over the duck, inside and out. Place the duck in your crockpot ( breast down--I used a 6 quart). Use the same bowl (might as well) to mix the wet ingredients together. Pour over the top of the duck.
Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, or until a meat thermometer registers 165-180 degrees.
The Verdict.
I haven't eaten much duck. I liked this, but it wouldn't be something that I eat often. The meat is sort of greasy for my taste. The glaze was good, and I think next time I'm going to double the sauce, to have extra for dipping, or to spoon over the top of the finished duck. My kids really liked the sauce a lot. "Peking Duck," coming up tomorrow! I think.

I love your blog. This was such a great idea. I wish I had discovered it at the beginning of your journey instead of Day 350. I thought it was so great I put a link to your blog in mine. You can see it here if you like: http://mommydaddysavers.com/blog/?p=118

Did you save the skin! That is best part, you can render the fat and use it for sauting It is sooo good. Everything browns nicely in it and it doesn't burn too high flash point I think its called. You will never use butter again on home fries or such. This may work for 2 ducks I have in the freezer that were a gift from a hunter friend. Otherwise I need the crispy skin on duck which may not happen in the crock.

Haven't tried this one yet, but am wondering do you have plans to compile your year's worth of recipes and get them published? I haven't copied every post but do enjoy looking for something on your blog - when I'm needing an idea for dinner.
Over the week-end I made two batches of the seasoned nuts (Day 341 - can't find a date) and they were fabulous and "inhaled" by my guests Saturday night. Thanks.
Good wishes

I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to skin a duck, but I've loved all the other recipes I've tried.
As a side note, it appears that Campbell's has changed some ingredients, and Pace and Prego products are no longer gluten free. I was going to make your Salsa Chicken and Black Bean soup, and I noticed you showed Pace picante sauce in the photo. The link below lists other products that have changed.

Hi Jean,
I DID hear that information about the Pace and Campbell's. Quite disturbing. It seems sometimes the legal dept goes overboard with certain things, imo.
It's a good reminder to always, always read labels.

I may try a what I have in the frig version this week. How about chicken thighs and orange marmalade as a substitute? Sounds like a good mix.
I can't wait to get my new Crockpot for Christmas. I just working with a 4 quart slow cooker that's not programable. I can't wait!
THANKS for the inspiration.

I cook a whole chicken in the crock pot almost weekly. If your crock-pot is large enough, I have found using a "bed" of whole unpeeled potatoes (or even skinny unpeeled sweet potatoes) on the bottom keeps the chicken up out of its juice and at the same time I end up with a nice side dish. You can drain, rinse or peel the pototoes to rid them of the oil if desired. Sometimes I throw a whole head of unpeeled garlic into the cavity of the bird (to keep the garlic from soaking in too much juice) cooking that at the same time. It doesn't season the bird, but roasted garlic is scrumptious with the potatoes.

I love your blog. I was thinking that maybe a vegetable steamer might work as a rack...you know, one of those that collapses in on itself, that is shaped like a spaceship? I'm thinking it would fit - you could just open it up as far as the pot would let you and put the duck in there - it just might be a pain to clean, but it's metal, so could probably go in the dishwasher.
I'm making 3 of your recipes tomorrow for a potluck that we're having at work (garlic dip, brie with apricots & white bean/pesto dip). Can't wait to try them!
- December 15, 2008 at 6:44 PM
On the subject of skinning...it's a lot easier to grab a hold of the skin and pull if you use a paper towel. This is especially useful for chicken legs and the like. This is a tip I got from my dearly departed grandmother. Not as environmentally friendly, perhaps and doing without, but EASIER and IMHO easier is better!

- ChazFrench said...
Why in the name of all that's good would you cook duck to 180F?
Duck does not suffer from the bugs that chicken and turkey do.
Duck can be served medium rare with no problems.
You need to try a pan roasted duck breast, it's like eating a good steak. And you leave the skin on, not greasy at all.

I want to give a crock pot meal as a gift. What dry ingredients would you suggest packaging up attractively with directions only being "add water" or "add chicken?"

Steph, thanks so much for this! I am not at all sure I am brave enough to skin a duck, however. Of course, hubby would do it for me but that would ruin the surprise. This does look good though, and I am with the other poster - the sauce alone would be awesome on chicken too!
Gal, you rock. Thanks again!

Overall we followed your recipe. We didn't have a rack for the bottom so we added chunks of onion and ginger to buffer at the bottom which ended up tasting really good with it. Towards the end of the cooking cycle, we added white beans. The glaze was amazing and we made extra like you recommended! We loved this meal and the flavor was amazing! Thank you!

Hi Everyone,
My name is Danielle. I am 22 years old, and a mother of one 6 year old daughter. As a gift, we recently welcomed our new baby boy Bacardi a blue fawn and white APBT. He is currently 4 months old. I came here to ask for assistance. We have been working on crate training and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get him to stop pooping in his cage. I have taken him to training lessons and asked for advice from his vet. We have made the crate smaller, taken all the toys and pad out. Nothing works. Bacardi will simply push all the poops out of the cage or even the entire bottom of the cage out so that he can sit on a clean spot. I do not know what else to do. We even get up extra early so that we can take him on an extra walk before we leave. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

John Ray is running for Borger City Council, Place 2.
Ray moved to Borger in March of 1981 from Chanute, Kan. to work for the City of Borger.
"The people here are kind, made you feel that you belonged here," he said. "[I] stayed here, raised my family and grandkids. This is home."
He worked for the Borger Police Department from March 1981 to October 1993. He started as a patrolman and eventually worked as a sergeant and department photographer.
He has been involved with the Hutchinson County EOC, back when C.B. radios and gut feelings were used to keep the city and county safe. He also helped build the new police department and E.O.C. with Danny Richards.
Ray worked for a few years at Salim Motor Company selling cars. Then in 1996, he began a new career as a safety inspector (enforcement of OSHA and company requirements.) He started with Zachry at the Phillips Refinery until 1999, traveling all around the country working in power plants and paper mills. However, he still kept his family in Borger.
In 2000, he went to work for Spradling Oil Company as its safety coordinator thru the generosity of Charlotte Spradling.
"I was really able to get back and more involved with the E.O.C. and get involved with what the City of Borger was doing, attending just about every city council meeting, and at times giving my input," Ray said.
In 2007, he had a heart attack and kidney failure that set him back physically for awhile, as he was on dialysis for a little over a year and a half.
On July 4, 2009, he received a kidney transplant that has proven successful. He says he has been blessed by God.
He belongs to First Baptist Church in Borger and is active in his Sunday School class.
"I would like to say if you don't have a church home, call me," Ray said. "I'll talk to you about a super church with a great boss, Jesus!"
He received a call back in June 2010 from a company in Dallas called Ashton Oilfield Services. They had heard of his safety record and wanted him to go to work for them. He told them he could only do it if he stayed in Borger to raise his grandkids, which worked out fine.
He goes down to Hobbs, N.M. for a few days a week and then returns home. He has a staff that he works for, and enjoys the work because people work together.
Ray and his wife Debbie have been married for 36 years as of this April, moving here from Chanute, Kan., where they both went to school since the fifth grade. The couple also dated in high school.
He entered the Kansas National Guard in 1973-1981, and was a sergeant when he moved to Borger.
They brought one daughter Melissa with them, and had another daughter Dana. They now have four grandchildren, three girls and one boy. They had to take custody of the two youngest, Kaden, 8; and Starr, 6. The other girls live in Baytown with their parents. Kaden and Starr attend school in Borger. The other grandparents are Carl and Charlotte Musgraves.
Ray also belongs to the Masonic Lodge in Borger. He was a Past Master at the Adobe Lodge and present member of the Unity Lodge.
He said he feels he is qualified to serve on the city council due to his past work experience with the City of Borger, seeing what has been done, and believing that Borger has a lot to offer people.
"I can and will get things done," Ray said.
He said he knows what the needs of the fire department are, along with the police department and city crews that are out working on the roads, along with sewer, trash, and water workers.
"We need to be aware of their needs as well as you," Ray said.
He wants the public to know he is not putting out any signs as to the expense and times of the economy.
"But it is your vote that counts, not the number of signs placed all over town," he said.
He said he can bring professionalism to the office of city council member, and will listen to all opinions, not just ones based on one individual's concerns, and will do a quality job if elected.
The general election for Borger City Council is May 14.

Homo Scriblerus
March 26, 2001
Marginalia: Readers Writing in Books by H.J. Jackson (Yale University Press, 324 pp., $27.95) A certain Cambridge classics teacher named Walter Whiter suddenly became fairly famous when a peculiar book of his, A Specimen of a Commentary on Shakespeare, originally published and scorned in 1794, was rediscovered and for a while admired in the twentieth century. The brief vogue of the Specimen prompted some research into its author, so we know that Whiter was for some years the close friend of Richard Porson, the great Greek scholar.

POTSDAM The St. Lawrence County Arts Council has a new director.
Rebekah L. Wilkins-Pepiton took over two weeks ago, replacing Hilary M. Oak, who announced her retirement in September.
Ms. Wilkins-Pepiton was selected in December. She is a photographer, graphic designer and former art teacher who spent the last two years working with the Peace Corps in China before moving to the north country in August.
Before living in China, Ms. Wilkins-Pepiton was an art teacher in Colorado.
Working with this group really fit with what my personal goals are and where I think I can work most effectively, she said.
Her husband, Charles M. Pepiton, is a professor of performance and communication arts at St. Lawrence University, Canton.
Ms. Wilkins-Pepiton said she has been surveying the community to find the best uses for the Arts Councils time and resources by focusing on art education, professional development and cultural advancement.
Long-standing initiatives such as the Special Arts for Special Needs program will be preserved, while new ideas will be implemented gradually throughout the year.
I dont think anyone is going to be seeing any changes right away, Ms. Wilkins-Pepiton said.
The Arts Council is trying to raise $100,000 by April to help with the transition, fund new programs and make up for cuts from the state and St. Lawrence County. The last few years have nearly depleted the organizations reserves. It has raised $10,000 so far.
The money will fund new programs such as an Art Cafe, a monthly meet-up for artists and art enthusiasts beginning in April at the Blackbird Cafe, Canton.
A Young Peoples Art Festival will start in the summer, with workshops for children ages 7 to 11.
Ms. Wilkins-Pepiton said being a stranger to the north country will lend her a fresh perspective, but she is counting on the staff at the Arts Council to help her learn more about the areas needs.
This can be an advantage, and this can be a challenge, she said.
Ms. Wilkins-Pepiton said she hopes to increase the attention local artists receive outside the region by stepping up the councils marketing efforts.
We have a lot of really talented artists. I think there needs to be better visibility for them outside the north country, she said.
Thousands of readers like you have made Northern New York Newspapers the number one ranked website* for local news and sports coverage in the north country.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
The Lady Dinos teed off early and often against ALA on Tuesday afternoon.
Carbon left the Eagles in the dust as they racked up a 14-2 win in Region 10 action.
The Dinos set the tone in the top of the first by giving Carbon pitcher Kenzie Cave a four-run lead to work with.
Cave held the Eagles scoreless for three innings before ALA finally put one up on the board. By then the Dinos had already added five more of their own to make it 9-1.
Carbon put up a run in the fifth before exploding for another four in the top of the sixth. ALA finished off with a final score in the bottom of the frame.
Carbon relaxed a little with such a big lead and committed both their errors in that frame to allow the run.
The Lady Dinos ended the game with 14 runs on 12 hits and two errors.
Cave got the win and added a double on the offensive side. Alexis Oliver also produced a double in the win.
"I have to admit I was really worried about how we would do after spring break. Typically we have not done well no matter who we have played. But the girls came out and were great. Kenzie (Cave) only threw eight balls in the the entire game and only walked one. Darrian Smith was amazing at shortstop. The whole Carbon offense played great," said coach Tony Pinedo.
Carbon (3-2) is solidly in third behind Wasatch (4-1) with a chance to tie them for second when the two meet up at Wasatch.
The game will be played Thursday instead of Friday due to weather concerns.

Kaoko Throttle Lock Kawasaki ER-6N / KLR650 / Ninja 650R / ZX-12R / ZX-14R / Concours ZG1000 / ZG14000
The Kaoko Cruise Control is perfect for anyone looking to reduce fatigue and strain on your hand and wrist during long distance highway riding.
Each Throttle Lock consists of a simple, ingenious and robustly designed friction nut that is integrated with a special Kaoko bar end weight. The Kaoko bar end weight is closely matched in appearance and weight to the Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) bar end weight.
The Friction Nut has a left-hand thread. It must be adjusted so that it makes light contact with the rubber throttle sleeve.
The Grub Screw is set to provide the necessary resistance on the friction nut. This may be adjusted periodically to take up wear.
To Engage: Twist the throttle and friction nut simultaneously with your right hand. This action tightens the nut and provides sufficient friction to set throttle to the desired position. The friction nut is designed that the rider may still open and close the throttle.
To Disengage: Roll off the throttle while gripping the friction nut. The throttle should open and snap closed freely.
Type A - Compatible with and without OEM handguards.
Type B - Compatible with Barkbuster VP and Storm handguards.
WARNING: The Kaoko Throttle Lock Cruise Control is an aftermarket accessory. Any misunderstood, abused or incorrectly installed motorcycle accessory is a safety hazard that could cause injury or death. It is the rider's responsibility to understand the operation and purpose for which the Kaoko Cruise Control is designed, namely, for cruising, only when safe to do so. At all other times the control should be disengaged. The Kaoko Cruise Controls are to be used only by experienced and responsible riders.

COLTON/LEHI - Dennis Victor Finch returned to the loving arms of his Heavenly Father following a lingering illness on Aug. 8, 2009.
He was born Jan. 17, 1931 to Charles Harold Finch and Etta Elizabeth Elmer Finch in Payson. Dennis grew up in Payson and on U.S. Highway 6 in Spanish Fork Canyon at Colton. He married Gloria Jane Scown on Nov. 25, 1954 in Lehi. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on June 17, 1965.
He attended schools in Payson, Scofield and Price, and College at College of Eastern Utah in Price. He was an excellent student; he skipped the eighth grade and graduated with top honors.
He worked hard as a child and adult, starting at 5 years old helping his grandfather herd sheep. He worked for the state road until he was called to fight in the Korean War; he received a Purple Heart and many other honors.
He was employed at the Geneva Steel Plant for 30 years. He also worked in the Lark underground mines at times of layoff from the steel plant.
When he retired, he moved to Colton to take care of his mother in her declining years from 1984 to 1992.
He was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving with people he loved as Scofield branch president for 10 years.
Dennis loved his family deeply; he loved hunting and fishing with his family. His most sincere desire was to have a close, loving family, which they are because of his wonderful example.
He is survived by his eternal companion, Gloria; one sister, Charlotte (Michael) Stubbings; one brother-in-law, Blake Clifford Lee, both of Price; sons and daughters, Gloria Jean (Gary) Nelson, American Fork; Vickie Denise (Blaine) Hatch, Genola; Charles David (Lori) Finch, Indian Springs, Nev.; Susan (Joe) Miller, Pleasant Grove; Linda (Jonathan) Watters, Colton; Paul Vincent (Christine) Finch, Springville; 29 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles Harold Finch and Etta Elizabeth Elmer Finch; sister, Cora Jean Lee; daughter, Jill Finch; grandsons, Clayson DeMile Munford and Bradley Scott Nelson; and granddaughter, Shelby Lynn Sorensen.
A viewing will be Thursday, Aug. 13, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Wing Mortuary Chapel in Lehi and Friday from 9 to 10 a.m. at the Scofield LDS Chapel; funeral services to follow. Graveside service will be at 2:30 p.m. at the Lehi City Cemetery.

DA: 'Prosecuting this young man would be a waste of time'
EUGENE, Ore. - A man shot by police after firing shots at cars in a mall parking lot will not face criminal charges because he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder at the time of the incident, according to the district attorney.
Michael Thomas Mason, 27, was in the midst of a PTSD-related meltdown when he fired a gun at cars in the Valley River Center mall parking lot, District Attorney Alex Gardner said Tuesday.
"There's no reason to believe that he was even directly threatening other people," Gardner said.
Bullets hit one and possibly two cars, Gardner said. Mason or his family will pay to repair the damages, he said.
"Obviously firing a gun inside city limits puts people at risk," he added. "Obviously there has to be immediate law enforcement response to that. Obviously law enforcement has to prevent him from that.
"When he had this meltdown, it was just that," Gardner said. "It's a meltdown, and he's not recognizing family members, he's not responsive to their conversations."
Mason served in Iraq and witnessed the deaths of dozens of his fellow soldiers, his family said in a prepared statement.
"We hear a lot about post-traumatic stress, and a lot of people make claims about it and in some cases where it doesn't seem to be merited," Gardner said. "There is no question but that this was a real episode."
As a result, the DA won't pursue any criminal charges against Mason.
"In my opinion, given the circumstances, prosecuting this young man would be a waste of time even if it was possible to prove that there was some criminal intent, which frankly I believe there clearly wasn't any criminal intent," Gardner said. "He was not mentally present during this episode, and so in my opinion based on the evidence, he's not criminally liable, and putting the system through the expense to establish that beyond a reasonable doubt would be absurd."
Mason has remained hospitalized since the Dec. 15 incident.
"At this point I understand he's parapalegic," Gardner said. "I understand his medical condition to be touch and go. There's hope that he will regain greater use of his arms. He has some movement in his arms."
Gardner also said the officers involved in the shooting, Sgt. Bill Solesbee and Officer Marcus Pope, were justified in using deadly force against Mason.
"It's clear based on the circumstances that the decision the officers made were consistent with the requirements of Oregon law," he said.
The police officers shot Mason at a location off River Road, but the incident started earlier in the parking lot of Valley River Center with a report of a man firing shots at cars.
No one was injured, but police have said the shooter hit two cars.
Police got a cell phone number for the suspect Mason from a relative, Police Chief Pete Kerns said after the shooting.
That enabled crisis negotiators to talk to Mason as police tracked him down.
Less than an hour later, police caught up with him on Zane Lane off River Road. Chief Kerns said that when Mason stopped driving, he showed some threatening behavior.
"The suspect's hands and body were constantly in motion," Kerns said. "Throughout the front portion interior of the vehicle, his behavior was unpredictable and did not comply with officers clear instructions."
Kerns said that's when Solesbee and Pope shot the suspect.
"I heard police coming this way, sirens very quickly," said witness Darrell Bassett. "I heard the sirens stop right down here and right after that I believe I heard three shots."
Police gave first aid to the suspect until medics arrived and took him to the hospital.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- "You know how you get that cold feeling that sometimes goes through your body?" asked Barry Campbell asked Tuesday night. It was only hours after he sat in a D.C. courtroom and watched 25-year-old Brian Gaither plead guilty to first-degree murder in the death of Campbell's daughter, Latisha Frazier. That feeling is one Campbell experienced as he watched one of his daughter's killers.
Frazier was beaten repeatedly by half a dozen persons in a Southeast D.C. apartment house in 2010, her body dismembered, and thrown in the trash. The body has never been recovered, and is believed to be in a southern Virginia landfill.
"It was just a lot of emotional feelings going on at the time. You want justice done, but at the same time you want to go at him at the same time, but you try to keep your composure and let justice take it's place," Campbell said of his reaction to watching the guilty plea.
Along with Latisha's mom, Campbell is raising Latisha's daughter, Diamond.
"I wouldn't have it no other way. I wouldn't have anyone else. If it wasn't her mother, her grandmother, or my mother, or her immediate family, we wouldn't have anyone else taking care of her.
"We're going to be that family that we are, to stick together, to raise her. I know that that is what Latisha would have wanted. Period," he said.
He gets some guidance, he says, from Latisha.
"I feel her sometime looking down and picking at me you know she gets on me at times," he said with a smile.
"If I don't hear her voice I definitely have her vision sometimes just pop up.
"And seeing her smile when I look at my grandchild, definitely. I see that all the time when I see that grandchild, that smile of hers. I just vision her because they have the same smile," he told 9News Now.
Losing a daughter is hard.
"You know, you have your moments. You have your good moments, you know. You see your granddaughter just smiling and having fun, just smiling and not thinking about the negative stuff that happens throughout life.
"And then you have sad moments when her birthday comes around, holidays come around and you don't have her, have that time to spend with her."
And Thanksgiving this year will have moments of each kind.
"The spiritual side of me keeps me grounded so it's still going to be a blessing because I still have the foundations of my family around me and, so, that's the good part about it.
"But you know you have that little side of you that be like 'Man, you know, I wish you was here,' but you just keep her in prayer," he said.
Six persons have been charged in Latisha's murder. Five have pleaded guilty. A sixth awaits trial.
