MLS Regular Season
The Chicago Fire Ticket Sales staff is pulling double duty today to make sure all areas of Toyota Park are safe and clear of snow ahead of Saturday night's home opener vs. New England.
In this edition of Jeff Thoughts, I capture Esteban Canales, Dave Berchem and Raul Luna having some fun at my expense...
Kudos to the Sales Staff for going the extra mile for Saturday's game:
The Fire suffered a heavy defeat last weekend in Los Angles and are looking to rebound in the best possible way in the team's home opener against New England on Saturday evening. The Revs have yet to play a game and will hope to shake off the rust and try and spoil the Fire's first game at home in 2013. Here are some tactical things to look out for:
Handling Bengtson – how will the Fire's defense contain the target striker?
In last weekend's loss to LA, the Fire's defense couldn't contain Robbie Keane whose movement led to all sorts of problems for the team. Against New England, the defense will face a much different type of striker in Jerry Bengtson, a giant target forward who will likely play up front on his own.
New England have a host of attacking midfielders/wingers that will be looking for layoffs and knockdowns from Bengtson and the Fire's defense will need to try and stop the Honduran from linking with his teammates.
LA were able to stop Maicon Santos and Shejill MacDonald from holding the ball up at the Home Depot Center last week and if the Fire's defense can mimic LA's, the Rev's could be in a for a long night.
Who plays behind Bengtson? A wealth of attacking options for the Revs
Because New England did not play last week, the Fire will have less of an idea about who will be playing in the attacking positions behind Bengtson on Saturday night.
Though the Rev's have lost Benny Feilhaber, they still have many options for the second striker/wide midfield roles. Any combination of Chad Barrett, Andy Dorman, Juan Toja, Ryan Guy and Lee Nguyen could play against the Fire and all five offer something different.
The defense as a unit will be looking for a much improved performance and with Logan Pause and Arne Friedrich's return unlikely, Saturday gives the back four a chance to redeem themselves against New England.
On the outside, Gonzalo Segares and Jalil Anibaba were caught out a few times with balls in behind them last Sunday and must be aware of players like Nguyen and Toja who look to do that on a regular basis.
Dilly Duka and Patrick Nyarko did a good job tracking back and helping the outside defenders but the emphasis will be on Sega and Anibaba to get forward and put in crosses as every opportunity.
Creating more chances – possession and set pieces
The Fire showed some rust last Sunday, giving the ball away on numerous occasions and completing over 100 less passes than LA with the Men in Red's pass accuracy at only 74%. Large improvements in that department are certainly needed but the team will also be looking to get more set pieces in the attacking third.
The Fire's first (of only two) corner kicks didn't occur until the 60th minute in LA and it almost resulted in a goal for Anibaba after a brilliant cross by Lindpere.
As I mentioned last week, Lindpere's excellent deliveries from corners and free kicks will create many changes for the team this season. Last week LA started a new goalkeeper and this week, New England may start a new acquisition in the defense Jose Goncalves. The Portuguese newcomer is an experienced defender but as we saw last week, putting balls into a place where it forces the goalkeeper and defender to communicate and make a decision can lead to a mistake and a Fire opportunity.
The Fire only had one shot on target last week but also had some other excellent chances to score, most notably Rolfe's scuffed shot after the Cudicini mistake and Maicon's header just wide of the post. Klopas and co. will be looking for the Fire attackers to test Matt Reis as much as possible.
Prediction: 2-0 Fire with goals from MacDonald and Lindpere

While most of MLS kicks off today, we in Fire country have to wait more sleep before we watch the Men in Red take on two-time defending MLS Cup champions LA Galaxy Sunday at 4pm on UniMas.
Whet the appetite with this video where MLSsoccer.com's Dan Haiek and Matt Doyle talk one of the most intriguing matches of Opening Weekend...
The Fire start the 2013 MLS season at the Home Depot Center on Sunday against the two-time defending champions LA Galaxy (LIVE 4pm CT on UniMas). Both teams made some major changes over the off-season and will be looking to start 2013 off on the right step. Here are a few tactical things to keep an eye on...
New central midfield pairing – how will the JL's play together?
Last season, the Fire paired Logan Pause and Pavel Pardo in central midfield. This season, two new midfielders take their places: MLS veterans Jeff Larentowicz and Joel Lindpere. Both have played together in preseason but the regular season, against the defending champions at the Home Depot Center is a different animal.
Lindpere is noted for his attacking ability but he will be required to help Larentowicz defensively, especially when the Fire turn the ball over. It will be important for both players to hold their positions and not get caught too far apart.
In an away match, it is vital to hold on to possession when you get it and it will be important for both of the JL's to link well with each other through the match.
Set pieces – how will LA deal with service from Lindpere?
One thing that really stood out during the preseason was Lindpere's ability to deliver a good ball into the box, especially from dead ball situations. Time after time, Lindpere put balls into the danger area – the space between the penalty spot and the six yard box. The Fire got some goals from set pieces last year and players like Austin Berry are a major threat from them.
Larentowicz is also good in the air, scoring a header in the Carolina Challenge Cup from a Lindpere corner. The Galaxy will be looking to avoid giving up silly free kicks around the area and will try to limit the number of corners the Fire but with Lindpere's quality, the Fire can be very dangerous in this department.
LA will be debuting the vastly experienced 'keeper Carlo Cudincini and the Fire's set pieces will question whether he and his defense are on the same page.
Dilly Duka vs Sean Franklin – youthful exuberance vs experience
Dilly Duka looks set to make his debut for the Fire on Sunday, starting on the left wing. Duka's opponent will likely be Sean Franklin, one of the best right backs in the league and a player with well over 100 MLS games under his belt.
This matchup is fascinating because just as Duka loves to get forward and take on his man, Franklin regularly pushes up to support in the attack, contributing with his fair share of assists. Duka will need to find a good balance between trying to keep Franklin pinned back by pushing forward, and helping out Gonzalo Segares when Franklin does advance to support the attack.
Duka is a very creative player and could end up giving Franklin a tough time but on the other side of the coin, if Segares and Duka are not in tandem, Franklin could hurt the Fire.
Robbie Keane – it's not just all about goals
Robbie Keane's goals dragged the Gals to their second MLS Cup victory in a row last season but his play is not all about goals. He likes to drop into the hole and link up with the Galaxy's midfielders. Keane is very good and holding onto the ball in tight spaces and playing through balls to advancing players.
At Euro 2012, Keane played a similar role for the Republic of Ireland but was often crowed out, something the Fire should look to do if and when Keane drops deeper into the hole. Keane will certainly miss Landon Donovan and Mike Magee on Sunday but even without them, he is a major threat and should prove a handful for Berry, Friedrich and co.
Prediction: 2-1 Fire with goals from Sherjill MacDonald and Arne Friedrich.

LIke hearing from Commissioner Garber in ways outside a normal conference call? Good, so do I.
We're both in luck as The Soccer Don will be doing a live address regarding the start of the MLS season this weekend on YouTube today at 5pm CT.
Watch below...
Just 14 days until Opening Night at Toyota Park and today we feature the Fire's #14 Patrick Nyarko.
One of the most underrated players in Major League Soccer, Nyarko has been a terror for full backs throughout MLS since coming into the league in 2008. Even when it seems like a play is lost, his the Ghanaian attacker's quick feet aid in keeping things alive for the Fire.
Nyarko has led the team in assists each of the past three seasons, tallying 26 since 2010, while his goal-scoring prowess also improved last season, with a career high four goals from out wide.
With 130 regular season appearances to his name, Nyarko broke into the club's top 15 list last season and having made 64 appearances the last two seasons, seems a good bet to go as high as eighth by the end of 2013.
Get tickets to see Pat begin his sixth season in Chicago when the Fire welcome the New England Revolution to Toyota Park on Saturday, March 9 at 6:30pm.

Thousands of lights create beautiful holiday displays in Belpre, but all those light bulbs can create a pretty heavy electric bill for the city.
That's why this year the city of Belpre is beginning the process of changing all the Christmas lights to LED.
Mayor Mike Lorentz says the energy efficient lights will save the city a lot of money in the long run. He says LED lights last a lot longer than standard lights.
"The lights themselves are six times more expensive than the standard lights but they're still looking at the cost of electricity and the longevity of the lights is the reason for going that way."
It's a big job for the city, and Mayor Lorentz says it will take a few years before every light is changed.
"It's gonna take two or three years to change everything over because the ones that they create new will be LED. The ones they repair will be LED or if one gets damaged they'll change it to LED, but to do 120 different displays all at once will be a huge huge cost
It's not just Christmas decorations, though. The whole city is going green with LED lights.
"The street lights and all that are now LED. We've gone to the energy saving lights in all the city buildings. For instance, your stop lights cost about 90 dollars a month to operate and that's dropped to about 32 dollars per light."

DC Living Real Estate
We now have the confidence that comes with knowing our data is backed up and secure.That's something we've never had before.
As a co-owner and co-founder of Washington, D.C.-based property management and sales firm DC Living Real Estate, Singleton runs the company out of his home with his wife, Debbie.
Singleton didn't feel comfortable using on-site backup, like hard drives, because he worried about losing files if he or the other agents forgot to back them up. So for the past decade, the couple made paper copies of every document, and eventually filled the entire basement with files.
Typical transactions for one of the 13 agents at DC Living would generate about 80 pages of paper. More elaborate deals could generate up to 10 pounds of paper, which were then copied and filed.
The challenges of such a paper-based approach are numerous, Singleton believes. There was always the danger that the room would flood or receive some other kind of weather damage, and although the file system was well organized, finding files still took time away from serving clients.
Singleton had already pondered what it would take to go paperless when he heard about Carbonite at a seminar for realtors. The service appealed to him for its easy installation and affordability.
"Making the transition from a huge paper-based system to an online backup system seemed daunting," he says, "but Carbonite helped it to go very smoothly."
After scanning more recent files into an electronic format and having agents send their contracts into the office as PDF files, DC Living is now mostly paperless. Singleton notes that it's a huge relief to have such a "technology-forward" type of system.
"This system makes us feel like we're a very progressive brokerage now," he says. "Best of all, Carbonite makes it so easy and simple to do. It gives us such peace of mind knowing that our data is safe and sound."
For the Singletons, one major perk was that they got their basement back. "Now we've turned it into an exercise room and wine cellar," he says, with a laugh. "That's so much better than a huge file room."
Automatic backup
He felt a surge of confidence knowing that backup tasks weren't dependent on agents and principals. With Carbonite, it all happens automatically in the background. Read more »
Environmental friendliness
Agents have expressed admiration for the way Carbonite can significantly reduce the amount of paper used in transactions, since it replaces paper-based file systems. Read more »
Easy operation from anywhere
Because agents at DC Living work from their homes, Singleton appreciates that Carbonite provides a way to back up data from any location. Read more »

Pepsi-Cola Ogdensburg Bottlers won national recognition Tuesday with the Donald M. Kendall Bottler of the Year Award at PepsiCos annual convention in Las Vegas, Nev.
It is recognition that seemed out of reach, said Bonita A. Bonnie Wright, the Ogdensburg companys president and CEO. The company was one of three finalists nationwide for the honor.
It was something that my father and we always thought we were too small for, Mrs. Wright said Wednesday. We are probably one of the smaller bottlers who have ever won the award.
Mrs. Wrights father, Richard E. Winter, started the Ogdensburg bottling plant in 1943. Mrs. Wright operates the company with her husband, Richard L., who is general manager. Their son, Scott M., is route supervisor and represents the third generation of the family in the business.
Just to be nominated was amazing, Mrs. Wright said. I dont even know if its sunk in yet.
The Donald M. Kendall Bottler of the Year award honors bottlers in the United States and Canada for outstanding volume and per capita growth, retail and food service execution, customer service, quality standards and community support. The award comes with a $5,000 grant, which will be given to the Ogdensburg Boys and Girls Club.
Im still kind of in shock, Scott Wright said Wednesday. Were one of the smaller bottlers, so it was a lot tougher to achieve it.
A film crew in June shot a documentary about the business that was shown at the convention. Mrs. Wright said the documentary demonstrated how passionate her family and her employees are about their business.
There wasnt a dry eye in the house after they showed our film, she said. We told the whole story of what my father went through and how we continue his legacy. And now the entire Pepsi family knows what its all about.
Mr. Winter opened the bottling plant on Isabella Street and later moved to larger headquarters at Rensselaer and Lincoln avenues, in the former Sayer Bakery building. The company opened its current location at 1001 Mansion Ave. in 1962.
In addition to serving and heading multiple community groups, Mr. Winter helped establish the Ogdensburg Boys and Girls Club. A donation by Mr. Winter funded the Richard E. Winter Cancer Center at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center. He died in 2003.
There is not one organization I can think of in Ogdensburg that has not benefited from the generosity of the Winter-Wright family and Ogdensburg Pepsi, said city Mayor William D. Nelson. Its not just Ogdensburg. How many athletic fields and gymnasiums across St. Lawrence County have a scoreboard donated by Pepsi? Look at how many events are sponsored by them. It started with Richard Winter and has gone right up through to Bonnie and Dick and their children. Theyre just so deserving of this award.

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - A mural depicting labor history that Gov. Paul LePage ordered removed from the lobby of the Maine Department of Labor is going back on display.
The LePage administration announced Sunday evening that the mural, which has been hidden away, its whereabouts unknown, will go on display Monday in the atrium of the Cultural Building that serves as the entryway to the Maine State Museum, Maine State Library and Maine State Archives.
The Republican governor created an uproar in 2011 when he ordered the removal of the 11-panel, 7-foot-tall mural because he believed it presented a one-sided view of history that bowed to organized labor.
Labor Commissioner Jeanne Paquette and Maine State Museum Director Bernard Fishman announced the arrangement. The mural will be on loan for three years, subject to renewal.

Read: Is The NHLPA Embarassing Players Who Ask Questions?
At ESPN Boston, Jimmy Murphy writes that according to the players that he is speaking with, the NHLPA isn't being as transparent as they claim to be.
He says that when he speaks with players they ask him what is going on rather than the other way around.
Murphy also tells this story from a player, "In the last conference call, a player asked Don why he was learning details of the NHL's last proposal through the media and not via Don or the players in attendance. Don and some other players called that player out and basically embarrassed him for asking that."
Murphy says that the player who asked the question should be celebrated and added "It's time for the NHLPA to act like a real union and be open to other opinions, not just the stubborn ones currently guiding the talks. "
This is not the first time that this kind of subject has been brought up about the PA.

The wait to see her was very long, especially since my 13 month old son was the patient. Also, the male nurse that came in first was pretty arroigant, but once she came into the room I decided the wait was worth it! She developed a rapport with my son, answered all my questions, really took her time and suggested a great treatment.

Great Physician, Doctor Ward performed a double Ortho Surgery on my (L) Elbow & (L) Shoulder Rotater Cuff. Both surgeries were moderate surgeries. Dr. Ward was very professional and understanding regarding all my concerns and questions regarding pre-opt, post-opt and rehab follow-up from surgery. Dr. Ward was very professional and attentive.

The NIAID Systems Biology for Infectious Diseases Research Program will develop and validate predictive models of infectious disease initiation, progression, and outcomes.
These models will be derived from the study of the architecture and dynamics of systems-wide host/pathogen molecular interaction networks during infection, using integrated datasets generated from a combination of "omics" technologies. The research findings will provide a deeper understanding of the overall complexity of the biological, biochemical, and biophysical molecular processes within microbial organisms as well as their interaction with the host.
The programs will provide data and reagents that result from the research conducted and will provide training for the broader infectious disease scientific community to promote the use of the systems biology approach.
The research activities are carried out by

SYRACUSE When Drew Allen trotted onto the field in the season opener against Penn State less than two weeks ago, Syracuse University football fans thought they had finally learned who would be their starting quarterback.
Two losses and six interceptions later, the competition has opened back up. And SU fans will get to see it play out on Saturday when the 0-2 Orange hosts FCS opponent Wagner (1-1) in its home opener at 4 p.m. at the Carrier Dome.
First-year coach Scott Shafer said this week that Terrel Hunt, the sophomore who battled the senior transfer Allen for the starting spot throughout preseason camp, will see playing time on Saturday.
The plan for the quarterbacks going into this week is: Well start with Drew, get him going the first couple three series and then I want to get Terrel in the mix early. I look forward to seeing both those kids improve that position.
Hunt said that he was told before Tuesday that he would see some action this week.
He played on the last drive of SUs 48-27 loss to Northwestern last Saturday. He led a scoring drive, completing 2-of-4 passes for 22 yards and running three times for 30 yards and a touchdown.
Coach spoke to me. He hasnt told me exactly what, but he told me Youre going to play this weekend, stay ready, Hunt said. He said, Youve earned it. So, Im just waiting my time.
I just want to get a shot. I think I finally showed that I can play, I know it was their (second unit) and everything, but I showed out there. I picked up the tempo and I took the team down (and scored) in seven plays. So I showed that I can play. I just want to get a shot, he added.
Allen finished the game 27-of-41 for 279 yard and touchdown. But the four interceptions were the most for an SU quarterback since Greg Paulus, another one-year transfer experiment, threw five in 2009.
Allen addressed his job security this week.
I dont really worry about those kinds of things. I felt like, if you take away those four plays or even two of them, I felt like two of them were bad decisions on my part and I got to do a better job and I know I can play a lot better than I did. I have full confidence in my ability and the ability of the offense to do better, he said.
Allen added: Pressure? I mean, theres always pressure. We need a win and we need to do well on offense. Coach always says to control the controllables. I can only control how I perform and how I lead the offense.
Shafer has not addressed any plans for the position beyond this week.
Through two games, Allen has completed 43-of-78 passes for 468 yards with one touchdown and six interceptions.
Both games were against Big Ten teams AP-ranked No. 17 Northwestern and Penn State, which received votes in the AP poll and is just outside the Top 25.
The position hasnt been consistent enough. Like any of the positions on the field, youre looking for consistency at the position, Shafer said.
Hunt addressed the idea of a two-quarterback system.
As long as I can get a shot and prove to the coaches that I can do something, Ill be perfectly fine, Hunt said.
Selfishly, you want to play one, you want to be that guy. But if you have to play two, then its for the team and you do whats best for the team.
Senior tight end Beckett Waless status for Saturdays game is unknown after he left last Saturdays loss to Northwestern with a sprained ankle.
He practiced on Wednesday, according to Shafer, and has not yet been ruled out.
SU kicker Ross Krautman will not play Saturday due to an undisclosed injury.
Shafer said of the injury: Its something thats been chronic now. Its something that hes been fighting, really, the last two years.
Krautman is fifth among active FBS kickers with 49 career made field goals.
Sophomore Ryan Norton, who handles kickoffs for SU, will assume Krautmans duties.
Senior Chris Clark and several other receivers finished Saturdays loss to Northwestern with career days in the absence of Adrian Flemming.
Clark (six catches) and Ashton Broyld (seven) each finished with career highs for receptions.
Quinta Funderburk, Brisly Estime and Kendall Moore each recorded their first career catch.
It was announced before the Northwestern game that Flemming would miss the season with a foot injury. The uncertainty surrounding Waless injury creates even more of a need for SU to find reliable targets among its receiving corps.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) At United Medical Center in Southeast DC, patients, neighbors and administrators are all overjoyed about the Supreme Court upholding th Affordable Care Act.
They're convinced the Affordable Care Act will save the hospital and the city perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars. And that it will help patients pay for -- and get -- medical care.
"I couldn't believe it. I'm so happy, says Everett Delph, who just lost his job, but nowfeels like the Supreme Court has lifted a huge weight off his shoulders. He's sure now doctors will treat his diabetes.
For Andrea Giles, it's relief for her 16 year old daughter, who also has diabetes. And for 70 year old Maria Reynolds, there's the hope see can finally pay for her medications and the hip surgery she needs. Reynolds says she danced a jig when she heard the news.
DC's spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to save it's only hospital east of the river. The chairman of the hospital's board, Bishop C. Matthew Hudson, Jr, says the Affordable Care Act will ensure his patients have healthcare coverage... and that the insurance companies will pay United Medical Center to help them.
The hospital held a Ward Eight summit on stress and health disparities. Advocates are convinced the Supreme Court decision will help address both.
The Affordable Care Act pays states to expand Medicaid to everyone below 133 percent of the poverty line. It mandates everyone buy insurance, but it also offers help to people without enough money to pay for it.

CANTON A convicted rapist is headed back to state prison following a $6,000 bad-check spree across the north country last spring.
Mark J. Buffham, 40, formerly of Pollack Road, pleaded guilty this week in Franklin County Court, Malone, to charges in that county, and is scheduled to appear in St. Lawrence County Court this morning in connection with additional charges. He is being held in the Franklin County jail, Malone, pending transfer to state prison.
Police said in May that Buffham used a closed North Country Savings Bank account to cash three checks at Ward Lumber in Malone and one check at Alixs True Value in Chateaugay, as well as cashing six checks at a Sears store and at Mid-State Industrial Supply, both in Malone.
He was arrested in late April after allegedly writing a worthless $2,000 check to Frenchies Ford on East Orvis Street, Massena, as a deposit for a test drive. Police said he was allowed to drive a used Chevrolet pickup home from the dealership with the understanding that he would return it the next day, which he failed to do.
Buffham appeared before Franklin County Judge Robert G. Main Jr. on Monday, pleading guilty to first-degree scheme to defraud. The judge sentenced him, as a second-felony offender, to a term of two to four years in state prison, as well as $6,091 in restitution.
A Norfolk man also connected with the case entered a guilty plea in a separate Franklin County Court proceeding this week. Gerald L. Dissottle Sr., 42, was discovered to have tools Buffham purchased from one of the stores with a bad check, police said. Mr. Dissottle pleaded guilty to fifth-degree possession of stolen property, for which he received a years conditional discharge and was ordered to make restitution of $3,372. Other charges against him are still pending.
Buffham, meanwhile, is to appear today in Canton before Judge Jerome J. Richards on a superior court information charge of third-degree burglary in St. Lawrence County.
That venue should be a familiar one for Buffham. It was there, on Nov. 8, 1999, that then-County Judge Eugene L. Nicandri sentenced him to a 1�- to 3-year prison sentence after he pleaded guilty to sodomizing a 14-year-old girl.

It looks as though Facebook is going to be bringing applications and credits to mobile users such as unlocked iphone 4, Sony Ericsson Arc, etc. It was first reported that the top-secret Facebook operation, Project Spartan was going to be bringing applications to the mobile web through HTML 5. Facebook was working with a number of third-party developers that they have called their "Spartans" will be looking to unveil the project later in the summer. They will also allow for mobile users to purchase credits through mobile devices in order to put together an excellent way for them to buy credits for the games. It will be interesting to see how quickly they can bring these credits to mobile by browsers by utilizing the HTML 5 makeup.
Facebook is also looking to come up with their own way that they can get around the Apple store and Google market and allow for users to get their applications without having to go through those avenues. It will be interesting to see if they are able to put together an excellent variety of different games that will be available through the HTML 5 platform.
Facebook is also looking to get rid of the implementation of flash, and utilize HTML 5 which is definitely something that Adobe is probably not looking forward to it. They're able to put together a large amount of different games that will debut with the new mobile credits in browsers and should be able to put together an excellent offering with a large number of games for their users. Up until this point, there have been no games that have been brought to users utilizing the HTML 5. Facebook has been looking to bring games to mobile users for quite some time, such a large number of their users access their site by utilizing the mobile applications and browsers.

Comments about North Face Rock 32 Tent Footprint:
Not a fan of footprints as a rule. Just make the tent bottom tougher...kind of a thing. But, when it's all on you back, uphill, both ways... some of those opinions change pretty quick.
Rock32 tent is one of the lightest 3man tents going. The foot print is also very lightwieght, packs small and quick, opens fairly quiet and user friendly even in the dark. For the return on investment a very good add to my kit.

Some years ago Bill Moyers on his TV program, Bill Moyers Journal, made the observation that "We don't often do the right thing until we get the words right." This simple but profoundly important truism is applicable to the current debate in the State of Utah over the future of our public lands.
At the core of this debate is the word "policy." It is said that historically the "policy" of the federal government was to dispose of the public lands. We are told that Congress changed this "policy" as it applies to the western states except for Hawaii. We are told that the new federal "policy" is to retain all remaining public lands under federal ownership with a few exceptions at the discretion of Congress. In other words, we are told that our remaining public lands (primarily forest and BLM lands) are and will remain as federal jurisdictional territory. Under this new "policy" these lands are considered by the federal government to be essentially the same as federal military bases or the District of Columbia. This federal "policy" of non-disposal was set down by Congress in 1976 in the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA).
But does Congress actually have the discretion to change its former "policy" of disposal to a new "policy" of permanent retention of the lands in federal ownership? This question assumes that the action of Congress before FLPMA was actually the result of a discretionary "policy." What if this action of Congress before FLPMA was not the result of a discretionary "policy?" What if this disposal actually was the result of congressional compliance with a constitutional "mandate? There is a vast difference between a discretionary congressional "policy" and a non-discretionary constitutional "mandate."
Let's consider this question. Is disposal of our public lands a matter of discretionary congressional "policy" or is it a non-discretionary constitutional "mandate?"
To answer this question we must go to the only source of federal authority over our public lands. This single source is the Property Clause of the U.S. Constitution. This clause reads as follows: "The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States;"
This clause delegates one specific power to Congress and that is the "power to dispose" of the public lands. It also delegates a general and non-specific power "to make all needful rules and regulations" respecting those lands. A rule of legal interpretation directs that the latter general power to make "needful rules and regulations" cannot be construed in such a way as to invalidate or render meaningless the former specific "power to dispose." Therefore, we must accept that the Constitution delegates the specific "power to dispose" to Congress for a reason.
My final question is this. May Congress ignore or do the opposite of the expressly delegated "power to dispose?" Historical authorities answer this question for us: "It may be admitted that a power given for one purpose cannot be perverted to purposes wholly opposite, or besides its legitimate scope." (2 Story, sec. 1081, at 30); "The power can only be exercised as prescribed." (Downes v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244, 1901); "It must have been the intention of those who gave these powers, to insure, so far as human prudence could insure, their beneficial execution." (McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 316, 1819); "What the Constitution dictates is to be done." (Robert W. Reid, Admission of Missouri, House of Representatives, 1 Feb. 1820, Annals 35:1027-30).
If our historical authorities are right, disposal of the public lands up 1976 was NOT a function of federal "policy." Rather, this disposal was the result of congressional compliance with a clear constitutional "mandate." Before 1976, Congress was exercising its delegated power "as prescribed." Under FLPMA it is not. May Congress ignore this "mandate" or do the opposite of it? Not if we wish to remain a "nation of laws and not men," a nation of justice and not tyranny. We refer to the people's national Constitution as the "Supreme Law of the Land." If Congress may ignore the powers expressly delegated to it under this instrument are we not on the path to tyranny?
It is for this reason that the current discussion over whether Congress must dispose of its title in our public lands is far more important than a common debate over economics or access. At its core, what is at stake in this conversation is our moral authority as a nation of laws and not one of men. "Policy" or" mandate?" What awesome power there may be in a single word, and what danger there is for a public unable or unwilling to discern through learning when that power is being misused.

MIAMI, Florida (CBSMiami) - The counting of absentee ballots at Miami-Dade Elections headquarters has wrapped up, more than a day after polls closed.
As Thursday morning began, there had been about 500 to go.
"We will continue this process, it will be completed but it will be done so with integrity and accuracy. Every vote will be counted," said Supervisor of Elections Penelope Townsley.

Just after noon, county Mayor Carlos Gimenez and Deputy Mayor Alina Hudak said they elections department had completed the count.
Townsley has received some criticism over the long lines and wait times during the election and the amount of time it has taken to tally the ballots. When asked if her department could have done more to prepare for the election, Townsley stood firm.
"We have done everything we could have possibly done to be prepared," said Townsley.
Townsley said her team received 31,500 absentee ballots on election day that had to be processed one by one.
"This is simply a matter of sheer volume. We are dealing with a tremendous amount of paper." said Townsley.
The county's canvassing board will meet Thursday afternoon to review the provisional ballots. Generally there are only a few hundred of those. Election officials said they will have the final ballot results on Friday.
Miami-Dade's late results along with delays in a few other counties are the reason Florida was left behind, the only state in the country without a clear winner for president.
While the outcome of the ballot count will not affect the presidential election, there are still two local races too close to call: Erik Fresen versus Ross Hancock for state representative of a district in the Coral Gables area and Bruno Barreiro versus Luis Garcia for a county commission seat.
In addition to the races, the perception nationwide that Florida is the only state which has yet to complete its election results could have another negative impact. Phillis Oeters, Chairwoman of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, said it could affect business here.
"We have to work extra hard then to convince businesses to move here," said Oeters.
Even President Barack Obama mentioned Florida in his victory speech.
"Whether you voted for the very first time, or waited in line for a very long time... by the way, we have to fix that," said Obama.
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez weighed in on the delays and long lines.
"Some people at the elections department made certain assumptions in some districts, in some precincts, that didn't come to pass. They didn't put enough resources there; either machines or people, probably more people," said Gimenez.
Townsley said they plan to review this year's election plan to see where they could improve in the future.
"Staffing, equipment, there are many lessons that can be taken away from this election," said Townsley.
Oeters said the Chamber of Commerce will urge local and state leaders to take action and fix whatever went wrong on Election Day.
"Our vote in our state was irrelevant in the conversation last (Tuesday) night," said Oeters. "We need to be taken seriously by the federal government."
Gimenez said he plans to ask Governor Rick Scott to open more early voting sites and limit the length of the ballot for the next election to hopefully prevent delays like this.

NM I fixed it wasn't working because of my router ???
I just downloaded AA and completed all of the training except for adv marksmen. But my question sis does anyone have problems getting a game list and connecting to games ???
NM I fixed it wasn't working because of my router ???
I could never get it to save the progress of my training. I did the rifle course about 5 times and finally said the hell with it.
I too did rifle training many times before figuring out how to save the game. * You have to sign up for an account at their website *.
When looking for online games, I found that I couldn't connect to "Andromeda". But when I selected "Gamespy", a list of servers magically appeared!
Hope this helps!
I tried to run it a few times, but my computer takes one look at it and immediately shits all over the carpet. It starts thrashing and promptly grinds to a halt. Guess I'll have to give it a shot when I get my hardware upgrade
Wow they kept my account on these forums. Haven't logged into here in like a year.
Nope, no problems here. But I do Beta test it so I do have some experience on installing/uninstalling/reinstalling it and playing and testing it.
I did the night jump for airborne, but I have an old version and it wouldn't let me upload :-[
I finally installed AA, and it works great and all -- but for some reason punk buster doesn't work right. Any tips?
You need to update punkbuster. The version that got shipped with the game was a old version(Very).
You need to put the files in your: /home/<user>/.armyops210/System/pb and htm directories.
This is a hidden directory for your user who is running the client.
If you run a server with the -nohomedir option then you need to put them in the correct folders which will be in the main game directory:
/path/to/armyops/System/pb/ and htm.

LOWVILLE Information about Lewis Countys office building project is accessible at the countys website.
Were not trying to hide anything, said Legislature Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan. Wed just as soon let people know what were up against.
The PowerPoint presentation from Tuesday nights informational session at the Lowville fire hall, attended by more than 150 people, was posted so residents not at the meeting can access the information, Mr. Tabolt said.
Its a predicament that weve got to take action on, he said. We cant just sit back and do nothing. Its getting to the point that weve got to put people and equipment somewhere.
Mr. Tabolt said he was a bit leery of putting out some of the cost estimates, particularly the very rough $7 million to $9 million projected cost of buying and renovating the three buildings in which the county now leases space.
We dont want people to jump to conclusions that our numbers are set in stone, he said.
However, legislators want people to realize why the three-year-old, $11 million project, on which roughly $500,000 already has been spent, is being considered, Mr. Tabolt said.
A prime reason is that a few buildings in which the county leases office space are for sale. In particular, the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services is moving forward with plans to lease and eventually buy the former St. Peters Catholic School on Shady Avenue, which now houses the county Board of Elections, Office for the Aging and highway and solid waste administration.
Theres a chance were going to be looking for at least temporary housing for the people in there, even if plans for a new two-story office building on outer Stowe Street progress, Mr. Tabolt said.
That will be difficult, given the dearth of suitable office space available in the area, he said.
The 45,000-square-foot building proposed would house the Department of Social Services on the second floor, while the first floor could be split among the three offices now in St. Peters and the Department of Motor Vehicles. The countys Public Health Agency, mental health administration and 911 dispatch center could be located in the new building or in space vacated by DSS in its current building, also on outer Stowe Street.
Those departments combined now use 31,000 square feet of space but need 50,000 square feet, county officials say.
Lawmakers have indicated that dispatch likely will remain in the adjacent Public Safety Building, despite the cramped space, until the county can afford a planned upgrade of the emergency radio system.
County officials were eyeing a VHF system projected to cost $6 million to $11 million, but it now appears they may need to install a UHF system projected as high as $18 million to qualify for Homeland Security funding. The county applied for grant funding last year but did not receive any money when the awards were announced earlier this month.
The PowerPoint presentation can be accessed by clicking on the Lewis County Proposed Office Building Project link on the home page of the county website: www.lewiscountyny.org.

Add an essential kayaking skillset learn how to easily roll your sea kayak with our certified instructors.
Being able to roll your kayak allows you to quickly right your boat. This important skill eliminates the need for a self or buddy-assisted rescue, limiting your exposure to cold water.
In a controlled setting, our ACA certified instructors will guide you step by step through the skills required for a successful roll. They'll begin with a brief refresher on wet-exits, tucking and T- and buddy-rescues. They'll also explain the foundation of the kayak roll the hip-snap. This technique allows you to roll the kayak regardless of your paddle position.
You'll watch your instructor demonstrate each technique, learning valuable pointers along the way. You'll perform buddy-rolls with a partner or your instructor to understand what it's like to be completely upside-down and then roll back up. After practicing the components of the roll, you'll put it all together and roll by yourself. Your instructor will be right there to help you if needed. Plan to spend most of the class wet, so please dress appropriately and bring an extra set of clothes for afterwards.
All necessary paddling equipment is provided.
Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy
*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.

Microsoft Windows registries contain a wealth of forensically important information including a history of attached devices, a list of user accounts, URLs typed into local Web browsers and information about
network shares.
Unfortunately, existing digital forensics tools for processing the Windows registry are limited in functionality and difficult to use. These tools require the investigator to know exactly where useful information is stored in the registry, an overwhelming task even for experienced investigators and a nearly impossible one for new investigators. Although existing tools target specific areas of the registry and automatically extract useful information, they parse only limited portions of the registry and are difficult to extend without directly modifying the application or programming additional modules.
Furthermore, existing tools require investigators to understand the critical differences between registry layouts in every single version of Windows and to be able to interpret and correlate an overwhelming amount of registry data correctly.
NIJ supports the development of tools to assist investigators in extracting Windows registry information. Registry Decoder, a set of automated forensic acquisition, examination and analysis tools is being developed by Digital Forensics Solutions under a NIJ grant.
The Registry Decoder will recover, parse and report relevant data from seized computer operating system registry keys.
This tool will be usable for both traditional "dead" forensics against hard drive images as well as live (triage) analysis of running machines. Registry Decoder will be easily customizable and provide an interface for the law enforcement investigator to quickly identify what information is most crucial for their case, extract that data and render it into a report format. Additional information will be provided to give the investigator practical insight into the meaning and relevance of the data collected. Registry Decoder will also examine values in the current Windows registry alongside copies of the registry stored by the system restore point facility, cross-referencing this information and helping to reconstruct a historical background of the system under investigation.

On Saturday, the Bingamton Mets played the Portland Sea Dogs in a special minor-league game – the game was in Fenway Park as part of Boston's annual special "Futures at Fenway" event.
Why does this concern us? Well, just like in the MLB Futures Game, the Futures at Fenway games are played with Pitchf/x, the pitch-tracking camera system that tracks every pitch thrown in the major leagues, TURNED ON. The data from these games is publically available for anyone to look at, just like the data from normal MLB games. Which gives us a nice extra look at the pitches of the BMet pitchers who pitched in the eleven inning game.
Five Met Pitchers pitched in the game: Collin McHugh went 6 effective innings, Ricky Brooks then pitched two poor innings, Rhiner Cruz pitched the 9th and 10th innings, Eric Turgeon got the first two outs of the 11th inning but ran into trouble – giving up two runs, and Josh Stinson struck out the final batter of the game. This post will examine the pitches of the two of those five pitchers: Collin McHugh and Josh Stinson.
NOTE: The pitchf/x system for the Futures game was a bit miscalibrated. Fortunately, the Portland starter was knuckleballer and former LA Dodger Charlie Haeger who pitched in the Majors in 2009-2010. By comparing the data on his fastball and knuckleball on Saturday to his MLB data in 2009-2010, we can adjust for the pitch tracking miscalibration to try and estimate more accurately how each Met pitcher's pitches really moved.
Collin McHugh
Figures 1 and 2: The Movement and Velocity of McHugh's pitches. The Graph is shown from a catcher's point of view.
To Read:
Vertical Movement: the amount of inches the ball drops or "rises" as compared to how we would expect gravity to make a pitch drop. So a Fastball with Positive 10 Vertical Movement "RISES" 10 inches more than it should if gravity was the only force acting on it and a curveball with -10 Vertical Movement drops 10 inches more than a pitch thrown that is just acted on by gravity.
Horizontal Movement: The Graph is from the view of a catcher or umpire behind home plate. So a pitch on the left side of the graph (and has "negative horizontal movement") moves in to righties and away from lefties. A pitch on the right side of the graph moves in to lefites and away from righties.
Legend for these graphs
Four-Seam Fastballs = Red Dots
Two-Seam Fastballs/Sinkers = Orange Dots
Change Ups = Dark Yellow Dots
Sliders = Blue Dots
Curves =Purple Dots
Collin McHugh threw 101 pitches that were tracked by pitchf/x over 6 innings, and did reasonably well. Overall, he threw five pitches:
A four seam fastball averaging 90.9 MPH with roughly 6-8 inches of tail in on right-handed batters and positive 8 inches of rise.
A two seam fastball, or sinker, which averaged 91.5 MPH with roughly 9-11 inches of tail in on right-handed batters and positive 5-6 inches of rise.
A slider that averaged 84.8 MPH with basically no tail and little vertical break.
A change-up that averaged 83 MPH with roughly 9-11 inches of tail on right-handed batters, but only 2-3 inches of rise.
A curveball that averaged 73 MPH with around 5-7 inches of tail AWAY from right-handed batters and a good 6-9 inches of additional drop than would be expected due to gravity.
*By Rise, we don't mean that the pitch actually went upwards. But what we mean is that the pitch should have fallen X inches further on its way to the plate due to gravity, but due to the pitches' spin, the pitch didn't fall this amount.
The pitch measurements above should be taken with some caution, as they are the result of the actual pitchf/x data and myself attempting to correct for the errors in how the pitchf/x was calibrated – particularly when it comes to the "rise/sink" on each pitch.
So what do the numbers above really mean?
Well the four-seamer appears to be ordinary – the break isn't special in either direction, and the velocity isn't special either. It's not a bad pitch – the velocity is fine and the movement is fine for a major league pitch, but it's not special in any way.
The two-seamer, or sinker, probably has at least an okay amount of sink in addition to a good amount of tail. I say "probably" because I still feel uncomfortable making clear judgments on the sink of the pitch – but in essence the pitch is okay for a sinker but not great – it doesn't have great velocity or sink, which means it probably won't be a huge GB pitch.
Note that both fastballs seemed to be thrown over 90 a good bit of the time, ranging from 89.1 to 93.6 MPH, which is apparently harder than McHugh typically throws. I'm somewhat confident in these readings though – the gun doesn't seem that hot, if at all.
The Slider, which seems to be McHugh's primary non-fastball offering, doesn't have great velocity or movement on its own, but the large difference between its movement and his fastballs could make it effective if McHugh had a good deal of control on the pitch.
McHugh's curveball would seem to have a lot of potential movement wise – the pitch seems to have a good amount of drop or sink on it. The pitch's velocity is nothing special but it's not slow either (averages 73 MPH), but it may come from a different release point than the rest of his pitches. How noticable this is is another matter and I wouldn't make too much of a big deal over it.
McHugh rounds out his pitches with a change-up, which runs 7-8 MPH different from his fastballs and has additional sink that the fastballs do not have.
McHugh threw 25 Four-Seam Fastballs, 28 Two-Seam Fastballs, 30 Sliders, 9 Change-ups, and 9 Curveballs in his start. His control over these pitches – see Figure 3 below – doesn't seem insanely sharp – none of the pitches are clearly located in one location (even though the slider and curve are clearly aimed away and low from righties, both pitches also landed in the middle of the zone and have a wide span of locations). Mind you, it's hard to judge a pitcher's ability to locate from a single start like this, so take this with a grain of salt.
Figure 3: The location of each of McHugh's pitches on Saturday. The graph is from a catcher's point of view, so pitches on the left side of the graph (more negative) are inside on a right-handed batter and away from a left-handed batter. The black rectangle represents an approximation of the strike zone.
Overall there's nothing special about Collin McHugh, which should be no surprise to anyone here, but he's got several pitches which are decent enough to give him a shot to make the show in some capacity. One would suspect that if he's to succeed, he'll need to have great control over his pitches, which he didn't show in this start, despite the lack of walks.
Josh Stinson
Figures 4 and 5: The Movement and Velocity of Josh Stinson's pitches. The Graph is shown from a catcher's point of view.
Legend for these graphs
Four-Seam Fastballs = Red Dots
Two-Seam Fastballs/Sinkers = Orange Dots
Sliders = Blue Dots
Josh Stinson threw only five pitches on Saturday, so there's not much to analyze here, admittedly. In addition, one of those pitches wasn't tracked by the pitchf/x system, so we really only have four pitches to analyze. But they are interesting pitches.
Stinson's four pitches consist of 3 fastballs and a slider. Each of these pitches had GAS: The slider hit 88.8 MPH, while the three fastballs hit 94.5, 94.6, and 95.7 MPH. Stinson may have thrown two different types of fastballs in his outing: the 95.7 MPH fastball had a more sink and tail, like a two-seam fastball, than his other two fastballs (which looked like four-seamers). This could in fact just have been an accident – a look at Stinson's release points shows that all four of these pitches weren't released from the same release point – though they're close – and this could simply be the result of an inconsistent delivery. Three fastballs is too small of a sample to say for sure, of course.
If the "two-seamer" wasn't an accidental pitch caused by an inconsistent delivery, it's a very interesting pitch – one which would certainly have the potential to get a good amount of ground balls.
Regardless, the story for Stinson from this data is simple: velocity. If he can actualy throw an inning of pitches that consist of 94-95 MPH fastballs and 88-89 MPH sliders, then he has a chance of being a useful bullpen arm (provided he can control his pitches), particularly if that is in fact a two-seamer which he can use to keep the ball out of the air and on the ground.

RhinoWorks is a plug-in that brings constraint-based parametric design in Rhino. A constraint specifies geometric and dimensional properties of one or more shapes. Applying constraints forces geometric bodies to change their shapes or/and position in 3D space. With RhinoWorks you obtain full parametric control of any model, including ones imported from other CAD systems. RhinoWorks significantly increases productivity of your usual design workflow.
RhinoWorks is smoothly integrated with Rhino: RhinoWorks just adds another toolbar to the familiar Rhino environment and does not limit your access to all Rhino features and commands. After installing the RhinoWorks plug-in and starting Rhinoceros, users see the RhinoWorks toolbar that was specially designed to look like Rhino's other built-in tools. The RhinoWorks Manager allows users to easily navigate geometric constraints and driving dimensions, which for large models can number in the thousands. The Constraint Properties editor with its spin buttons easily modifies values of driving dimension parameters. The RhinoWorks Animation panel and its slider are familiar to anyone who uses video or audio players. During kinematic animation, Rhino users can pan, rotate and zoom the model. Any built-in or plug-in rendering module can be used to generate a sequence of image files corresponding to key frames of the animated mechanism. The images can be converted to a movie with one of many free or commercial software packages available on the market.

A quick and dirty way to check it out is to write a simple shell script to
copy a 600mb file to the device under test. (480mbps = 60mBytes/s) so it should take 10seconds give or take. The bigger the file, the less the impact of cache. Of course, you should not be disappointed by lower calculated times as the spec refers to the usb primary device to the first point, hubs, cables, bridges and system divers induce limits. A flash device will be painfully slow, compared to a buffered usb hard-drive sub-system (no, not the usb-ide cheapy conntrollers, more like the ones that are usb/1394/ethernet nas)
