Good evening from Ventura, Calif. where the first team escaped the snow of Chicago Saturday morning to begin Phase Two of 2013 Training Camp.
After arriving at our beach-side hotel, the team quickly ate and changed before heading to Oxnard Community College for a little over an hour long training session.
Notes from today:
- The long-rumored trade that would send forward Dominic Oduro to Columbus in exchange for Dilly Duka seems to have happened according to both players Twitter accounts and multiple reports. Oduro is not in Fire camp and Duka tweeted Saturday that he was headed to join the team in California. Expect an official announcement Monday.
- The Daily Herald's Orrin Schwarz also added a significant rub to the trade: the Fire will also reportedly gain the MLS rights to out-of-contract U.S. international Robbie Rogers.
- 2012 Fire Defender of the Year Arne Friedrich trained with the team for the first time after being allowed to take extra time off while the side was in Ave Maria, Fla.
- After flying from Norway all day Friday, new signing Brendan King also trained for the first time.
- It was good to see midfielder Patrick Nyarko do some light ball work off to the side as he continues his comeback following a grueling 2012 campaign.
- Defender Hunter Jumper and forward Maicon Santos did not train with the team Saturday. Jumper pulled up lame in Wednesday's friendly vs. Columbus while Santos was unavailable for selection in the match after suffering an injury in the days leading up to the game.
- New trialists have arrive in camp. A full list will be published on Chicago-Fire.com in the coming days.
That's it for Saturday's notes... Take in some photos from training:
Throughout preseason, your favorite Fire players will give you a first-hand, behind the scenes look at what actually goes down at training camp. This installment is brought to you by Fire defender Gonzalo Segares. Now entering his ninth season with the Fire, Segares shares his veteran methods of handling the inevitable downtime that comes with preseason training camp. Make sure to check www.Chicago-Fire.com for all the action as the Fire kick off their 16th season.
Hello my amigos from the Chicago Fire. It's now time for me to tell you guys a little of what's happening on and off the field for me and my teammates.
We had our first preseason match on Sunday and the atmosphere was great. After a long time without competing in a game, it was great to get back on the field and kick some people. It's been quite a while since I've played against someone other than my teammates, so it was good to get in some tackles and battles.
It's been good to see the new faces working hard, competing and adapting well with the group.
Off the field there has been a lot of down time so I have been playing a lot of Halo in between practices. I'm trying not to nap during the day so I can go to bed early, so I'm usually on the computer, on the phone or transformed as a soldier, killing aliens on Halo.
It's been nice here in Florida but I'm excited to go back to Chicago for a few days and spend the days off with my wife (it's weird to say wife but I guess I have to get used to it) and have a nice romantic dinner and maybe watch a movie with her. I don't think I'll enjoy the cold weather but at least I will be at home with my family.
See you all soon and go Fire!
Gonzalo Segares
Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson has been absent from camp in Ave Maria but like the past two January's he's had a good reason.
The budding American goalkeeper has spent much of the month in U.S. Men's National Team camp with the gathering culminating in tonight's friendly s. Canada at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston.
The Fire goalkeeper joined D.C. United's Bill Hamid and Houston's Tally Hall to round out the goalkeeping corps in Jurgen Klinsmann's camp and like the past two January camps, will hope to earn another cap Tuesday night vs. the Canucks.
Though he hasn't made an appearance for the national team since the side's 1-0 friendly win at Panama a year a go, Johnson did earn a number call ups during the semifinal round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying last fall.
Perhaps a good performance could put Johnson in the mix for a trip to San Pedro Sula as the U.S. opens up the final round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying at Honduras next Wednesday, February 6.
Catch Sean and the rest of the U.S. team Tuesday night LIVE at 8pm CT on ESPN2, WatchESPN and Univision Deportes.
Throughout preseason, your favorite Fire players will give you a first-hand, behind the scenes look at what actually goes down at training camp. The first installment is brought to you by Fire midfielder Daniel Paladini. Entering his third season with the Men in Red, Paladini hits the town of Ave Maria, Fla. for the annual steak cook off. Make sure to check www.Chicago-Fire.com and follow Daniel on Twitter at @PaladiniXI for all the action leading up to March 3.
Checking in from Ave Maria: Well we're almost done with our first phase of preseason and things couldn't be going better. Legs are sore, bodies are in pain, but the coaches are getting the best out of the team.
As we continue to grind and sweat through the double-days, I promise you this: there is a much bigger plan taking place for the Chicago Fire this year.
We played our first exhibition game against FGCU Sunday, which is another reason to be excited. It was nice to go out and kick someone else besides my teammates (and also score a goal).
Off the pitch: Saturday was Ave Maria's annual steak cook-off! Having been fortunate enough to come here for three years now, I knew exactly what Saturday was about.
Basically we are in a very, very small town outside Naples, Fla. (sort of like the set of The Truman Show). Kids are out playing games, live music in the background, perfect weather, and of course that great smelling steak cooking on the BBQ.
What do 30 or more guys do when they smell steak being cooked? Of course we take over and invade their small town.
Honestly, Saturday was great. Awesome food, good people and just a great atmosphere to hang out in a little town called Ave Maria. Special thanks to the Mastandrea family for taking such good care of the coaching staff and players on this special night.
Until next time, this is Daniel Paladini checking in from Ave Maria.
Hope everyone's enjoying the snow back home... Just a bit of news for you on this lovely Friday afternoon in Ave Maria.
We're pleased to announce that Sunday's preseason opener vs. Florida Gulf Coast University in Ave Maria, Fla. will be live streamed here on Chicago-Fire.com beginning at 3pm CT.
A nice little recap from Thursday's trip to the beach in Naples. This one is for the ladies...
On how things are looking overall and what's been happening down in Ave Maria, Fla.:
"It's very exciting for us to get going after a long preseason. Ave Maria has been a fantastic place for us in past years this is where we get things going for our first phase. Three, four days into it, everyone is upbeat, the attitude from the players has been really good. Our main focus during the first phase, more than anything, is just to get a good base of aerobic fitness. We're working with bigger spaces, bigger numbers and longer duration of time when we're playing and we're doing everything through soccer exercises, soccer specific exercises to build endurance through playing, instead of just running without the ball. So that's the main focus in this first phase. We have a couple practice games that will give us an opportunity to evaluate some of the players, the picks and supplemental guys, that we have here, and really make some decisions and try to only bring players that we feel, not just to add roster spots but really to add guys, even in those supplemental or apprentice spots, that we feel in this environment, in one or two years, can be in a position to help the team. That's mostly the focus in the first phase and obviously the second phase will get more into tactical work and stuff like that. The first phase here in Florida is more to get a good base of aerobic fitness so we can push the guys even more in the second phase. The third phase we'll get more into playing and on a fitness level to play 90 minutes."
On the situation of the left midfield position with the possible move of Alvaro Fernandez:
"Obviously we're always going to be looking at different options but I do feel that within our group we have players that have the flexibility to play different spots. We have Alex that can play the wide spot. You have guys like Chris Rolfe who has played out wide at times, also with Wells Thompson. We're always looking to see if there are opportunities to make our team better but we also feel that we have players with depth in our own team that have the flexibility to play in those spots. That's why I think its important through this preseason, the six weeks that we have the opportunity through games and in training to put players in those roles and see how they gel with the guys. I do feel we have players that can play out there but if there are opportunities that come up within the league or outside we're going to look at those too."
On drafting Caleb Konstanski with the 68th overall pick in the 2013 MLS Supplemental Draft:
"We've seen IU play quite a few times. He was the captain of the national championship team and he brings a lot of leadership qualities. He's a very good athlete. Obviously he needs work technically and with his feet and that's one of the things we want to see as the game speeds up and see if in our training camp he can adapt to that. But he can play multiple roles. He's played in the middle but also in the back and also out wide on the right because he's a good athlete and a competitor. This will give us a good picture when we bring him in. he's arriving today along with the other supplemental picks and will give us a good opportunity to see him in a much higher level and the speed of play is obviously different. We know the kid well, we've talked to his coach, seen him play a lot and the one thing is he's a great athlete and a great competitor and it'll be great to see in this environment how he's able to adapt. That's why this phase is important to have the opportunity to bring in and look at players and make decisions."
On the midfield competition and how Logan Pause's role has been affected by the new acquisitions:
"We felt that that was an area in the midfield that we needed to address and I think we brought some players that have a lot of experience and are very good players in this league. I think they bring something different but that's why everyone is here in camp. We have six weeks now where we've brought quality players in but a lot is going to be decided by what takes place in the next six weeks. WE feel very good with the depth, the competition is very good and the players now, through these practice games, are really going to take the next steps. In these next six weeks, through training and through games, those decisions will be answered for all of us. Obviously, more than anything, the important thing is that we do have depth. Logan is a very good player but we also have other very good players in that spot that provide depth and competition and also have the flexibility to play different roles and positions on different parts of the field.
On the importance of a full preseason for the strike duo of Chris Rolfe and Sherjill MacDonald:
"It's important. I think with the core group we come into it with a very good base with the additions that we made, I think with the guys that we added from within the league the transition is always much easier. When you have guys from the beginning now with six weeks is where you build a lot of continuity. It's important, not only in the first phase but in the second phase, where we'll get into a lot more playing and a lot more tactical work and developing understanding and chemistry, but to have the opportunity from the beginning to continue what we had towards the end of last season, I think that's only going to make things better. I feel good that we have almost the whole group here together starting to work from day one, especially now when you look at last year to now, last year was nine weeks of preseason and this year its six. The first game is right around the corner so the continuity helps a lot."
On which of the trialists and reserve players have impressed early on in training camp:
"It's too early, it's three, four days in. the one thing I can say is that I think everyone has come in, we provided the players with an offseason program with the goal for them to come back and report for day one because obviously they know that there are expectations and our goals are going to be higher, and so are theirs. So I think with that the sacrifices and the work you do and the preparation that you put in has got to increase. Everyone has come in where they should be based on what our fitness coach Tony [Jouaux] gave them in the offseason to work on. The guys are ready. The attitude has been fantastic. It's early on. It's three four days. It's kind of hard for me to tell you right now. Everyone's still going 100 miles per hour but it's a long process and you'll see more as the guys get heavy legs and a little more tired, now the opportunity where you'll see from a mental standpoint who can focus and concentrate. That's been the focus for us from day one that they understand that its' a long process, it's a long season and the work starts from day one. What you do every day is very important for us to be able to reach the goals that we set at the end of the year. We can't let one day go by without a quality training session. We constantly push the guys, we constantly tell them that it's very important that in every drill that we do that they're focused and concentrated. Whether is 60 or 90 minutes, it has to be there in training because that's where you get better. It's not a light switch were you turn it on come game time. It's a process through preseason. it's a process thought the whole week. As a player, the confidence comes because you are prepared to play well. It's early but I can tell you that everyone is very focused, determined, excited and very committed to give everything they have in order for us to reach our goals and that's been fantastic. It's early on but I know it's going to be like that throughout the year because we brought in the kind of players who have a lot of good soccer qualities and are very good players but also have a tremendous attitude, and positive attitude, a winning mentality and more than anything they're honored and proud to be part of this organization."
On the opportunity for Corben Bone to train with Atletico Madrid and how his role changes compared to last year:
"I think a lot of times with players, he graduated from [Generation Adidas] status, sometimes there's a lot of pressure on those players. It's up to Corben. When you see him at practice, he's a kid that has a lot of ability. He's fast, technical, this or that, but that has to translate in a game. I've talked to him many times, myself and the other coaches, to give him a lot of encouragement and to be positive with him. He has to take the opportunities that he gets and make the best of them. He has to be the one to believe in himself and have the confidence because we believe in him. We've always worked with him, always tried to give him the confidence that he needs but maybe right now, graduating from Generation Adidas and not having all that pressure, maybe he's going to come out and not have that pressure on him and with the opportunities can show the quality that he has as a player, the ones that we saw in him. When you do see him in training, he's a player that could be a very good player in this league. Now that has got to translate into real games and he's got to take advantage of the opportunities that he gets."
On bringing in MLS veterans Jeff Larentowicz, Joel Lindpere and Maicon Santos and how they're fitting in with the team:
"It's early but I think they've come in and they've adopted and fit in well really well with the group. I think they're very focused and guys that we knew what we were getting. Obviously they're very good players and have been leaders on their teams and they've come in here and continued to work very hard in training sessions and earned their respect from that side from everyone else. They're very good players and good characters. I think their ability to work very hard and give everything on the field and earn everyone's respect, I think is important and that's what they've done. The transition has been smooth and easy."
On Tuesday we reported midfielder Corben Bone would spend a week and a half training with Team for the World Alliance partners Atletico Madrid.
Today, we get photos from his visit to the Estadio Vicente Calderon. Check them out below...

Doll Quilt Swap 8 | Manquilters unite!
Here's the mini quilt I received from fellow guy-quilter Ryan (of ImJustAGuyWhoQuilts fame). Ryan has become a good friend of mine in the blog & Flickr worlds, so it was so nice to receive something that he had made. He knows my tastes -- and especially my love for all things Joel Dewberry -- quite well. I absolutely love his mini take on the Denyse Schmidt Single Girl pattern -- single girl for the married guy, I guess? And it matches the swap pillow I received a few months back!
Ryan recently had some funky quilt labels made at Spoonflower -- pretty neat, eh? The label is shown here against the awesome County Fair backing.
Thanks so much, Ryan -- I hope you know how much I love this little quilt!
Our swap mama Kimmie apparently had some fun this round, because not only did she match Ryan to be my secret partner, but she paired me with the 3rd guy in the entire swap: Scott Hansen of Blue Nickel Studios! (And, to complete the chain, she had Scott send to Ryan ... so the three of us had our own little manquilter swap of sorts.) Oh Kimmie, you're too funny!
Unfortunately, I broke one of the cardinal rules of blogging and didn't take a picture of the final quilt I made for Scott. I was a bit behind schedule, in a rush to get the quilt in the mail to Scott, and we had rainy weather in NC ... all combined to keep me from getting any good photos. Here are some "in process" pics that I had taken as a sneak peek ...
I combined linen with an eclectic mix of prints in blues & greens for Scott, trying to match the aesthetic he seems to like. Mine turned out a bit more minimal than Scott's work, but I hope he likes it. If you can envision it, I embroidered "blue nickel studios" on those three linen bars.

The quilt that Ryan made for you is so cool! And I love the fabrics for your quilt for Scott. "Manquilter" made me lol... like "manbroidery." :)ReplyDelete
Isn't that a football (soccer) club in England? Oh, wait, that's Manchester United. Sorry :)ReplyDelete
Super cool minis all around!! I hope next time Kimmie lets you manquilters out to share your talents with the rest of us!
can't wait to see the final pictures of your quilt and the quilting.ReplyDelete
The quilt label idea is such a great use of Spoonflower. I am definitely going to be using that idea.
Fun stuff! I'm so curious now to see your finished quilt for Scott. I've done it too, though. In a hurry to get it in the mail, no time for photos and sorry about it later! Keep us posted if he posts.ReplyDelete
Manquilter here too! Awesome mini's....love the Denyse Schmidt inspired one...love all the cool, mod fabrics too...lots better than the kansas troubles around here...ciao, marcReplyDelete
I have been waiting and waiting to see a picture of your doll quilt and you mailed it?:O Running out of time and raining it not a good enough excuse!;) I want to see what you make no matter the weather!;) Yes, please get Scott to take a picture....soon because that sneak peek is awesome!!:)ReplyDelete
Hey John! I see you used some of that spoonflower fabric in Scott's quilt. I keep forgetting I have some stashed.ReplyDelete
It's funny that you decided to embroider blue nickel studios on his quilt because the same thought happened through my mind when I was making yours. I wanted to embroider quilt dad in the upper right corner, but opted for the empty ring instead.
Hope you find an awesome space for a studio in your new place. Take lots of pictures!
You'd better (direct us to pics if posted by Scott)! I want to see it!ReplyDelete
I love the blues!ReplyDelete
Very cool, where did you get the blue fabric with the faces for your quit for scott?ReplyDelete
Just heard of you today at our first Cincinnati Modern Quilt Guild meeting! One of the ladies had made a few of your blocks and was raving about you. SO great to see your stuff and see what you're doing.ReplyDelete
I had to laugh when I saw that quilt on your blog. I kept going back to it to drool on Ryan's blog. I think it's great that she paired all you guys up :)ReplyDelete
I am so AMAZINGLY behind on my blogging..I haven't posted a picture of the quilt you sent yet, I know bad, bad me...but I do love it John, and I like the blank linen space...I will probably fill it up with beads and buttons when I get in a hand sewing mood...I will post it ...this month? :):)ReplyDelete

Officially, we may be in the dog days of summer, but mentally we're already in the middle of fall. It is true that the seasons won't change for another two months, but who cares about facts like that when you can fantasize about all of next season's gorgeous trends now? Not us! We have a feeling you might agree, dear readers, so we're giving you a little head start on all of autumn's must-have items. From fabulous fifties-inspired silhouettes to outrageously cool animal-print accessories, today is the time to plunge headfirst into next season's delightful offerings. Get ready to get inspired...
Bow Shoes
Around this time last year, the buzz was all about extreme shoes like thigh-high boots and heavy hardware booties, but this season you can expect more feminine footwear. The must-have heel for fall is the bow-bedecked pump and it's available in a surprisingly wide range of iterations and materials. Whether it's decoratively ornamented per Miu Miu or simple and structured like Louis Vuitton's Beauty Pumps ($1500, 866.VUITTON), there are loads of runway examples you can try. Personally, we're obsessed with the sharply sweet style seen at Isabel Marant, as it's an un-saccharine variation of this trend, perfect for the non-girly-girl.

Chunky Knits
This isn't the first time chunky knits have warmed up the fall runways, but what is notable is the way they were layered together. At Prada, models showed off cozy cable-knit sweaters paired with thickly woven skirts and tights, while the Rag & Bone and Paul and Joe shows made bundling up for winter appealing via oversized scarves, sweater dresses, and nubby socks.

Animal Accents
Animal prints are everywhere this fall! That said, though we completely understand the desire to invest in a leopard dress or cheetah coat, the easiest and most cost-effective way to get into the autumnal spirit is with animal-print accessories. Of all the things we're craving this season, Mulberry's new Neely Bag ($2650) is at the tip-top of the list because it combines the key cat print with a ladylike boxy shapeÂ--perfect for fall. Additionally, we love the look of Dries Van Noten's the Leopard Print Scarf ($851, 832.201.2700), as it offers a quick way to add a little luxury to any look.

Shearling Jackets
A little leather jacket is one of those everyday essentials, but if you're looking to update your outerwear for fall, start searching for something in shearling. Seen in a number of colors (including gray, black, brown, and white), these comfy coats look oh-so cute paired with straight-leg trousers or over a delicate frock. While we love all the runway versionsÂ--like Burberry Prorsum's Cropped Aviator Jacket with Funnel Neck ($3595), as well as the styles shown at Pringle of Scotland and Paul and JoeÂ--our eyes are on Helmut Lang's amazing interpretations, like the Chasm Shearling Jacket ($1140), which is available now. It's perfect for keeping warm this fall and definitely a wardrobe necessity!

Jewel-Tone Velvet
When it comes to "it" fabrics this season, velvet definitely tops the list. And although black velvet is certainly a key player in the season's most covetable collections, we're more intrigued by the jewel-tone iterations. These royal hues are popping up on loads of pieces this fallÂ--including jackets, pants, and dressesÂ--infusing each item with a playful romanticism that's anything but gloomy goth. Designers like Charlotte Ronson, Alexander Wang, and Ralph Lauren demonstrated that the best way to wear these pieces is with restraint, so pair these rich colors with dark neutrals to make the trend wearable.

Camel Coats
A major component of our autumnal wardrobe is the eternally chic camel coatÂ--a must-have for any fall season. If you've yet to invest in this essential, we recommend looking for something with a menswear vibe, like Chloe's Double Face Angora Coat ($2684), or a slouchy style, like Salvatore Ferragamo's Cashmere Double Face Cape Coat ($3743). Or you can brave the chilly weather in a more structured, fitted shape per Marni. Whatever you decide, this luxurious coat is a worthy investment indeed!

Red Leather
Sure black leather is an essential fall staple, but why not take it up a notch and incorporate a sexy pop of color into your daily rotation with red leather? There are a number of designer options in the clothing departmentÂ--Balmain's Stretch Leather Biker Trousers ($4648) and Guilty Brotherhood's Leather Trousers ($1792) are both covetable itemsÂ--or you can easily vamp up your look with a hot red accessory. We'll be saving up for some memorable shoes like Givenchy's Laced Ankle Boots ($1404) or a luxe carrier like Celine's Classic Medium Box Bag ($3400, 212.872.2526) in Lipstick.

Maxi Skirts
We were thrilled to see floor-length skirts power-walking down the fall runways this season; there's something so enticing about the dramatic effect of this chic trend. Look to the straight and fitted styles from Dries Van Noten, Michael Kors, and Aquascutum shows for the right vibe, or you can always start your collection with Ann Demeulemeester's Long Jersey Skirt ($853), which is available now.

Fifties Redux
Though we definitely enjoyed the brazen statement of last year's eighties inspiration, this season we're going a little further back in time for a full-throttle fifties redux. That's right, we are talking circle skirts, Capri pants, and ladylike accessories. You can go the sweetly conservative debutant route per Fendi and Louis Vuitton, or try Isabel Marant's sexy siren look, which is so very Olivia Newton-John as Sandy in Grease (after the makeover, of course!).

Baroque & Roll
At first glance, the title baroque and roll might be unclear, but take a closer look, and you will discover a highly elaborate fashion display that mixes 17th century royalty (we're thinking Louis XIV) with some sexy rock 'n' roll touches. The luxurious frock coats and gilded pants are bold ensembles choices, to say the least, but daring readers should reference the styling at Emilio Pucci, Balmain, and Roberto CavalliÂ--all offer perfect examplesÂ--when emulating this trend If you can't wait to try out this decorative look, Balmain's Lurex Jaquard Jacket ($3867) and Roberto Cavalli's Velvet Devore Trousers ($2394) will add the right amount of ornate appeal into your wardrobe.

Straight-Leg Pants
Set aside your skinny pants (they deserve a break) and elongate your legs with tailored, straight-legged trousers that have a certain seventies sophistication. These high-waisted bottoms can give you a savvy, office-appropriate look when paired with a fitted blouse or blazerÂ--just look at the Rochas and Akris runways for ideasÂ--or a chic rocker vibe if you opt for this silhouette in leather.

Metallic Dresses
Last year's shine fest is still going strong, and while we suggest you add a few lamé and metallic separates into your fall wardrobe, we also like the idea of stepping up the glitz factor for your high-fashion moments with a metallic dress! The Salvatore Ferragamo show contained a few excellent examples that are sure to make a big impression this season (already spotted a gorgeous gown on Dree Hemingway). Additionally, we are confident that Marc Jacobs' Sequin Embellished Gown ($5200)Â--last seen on Nicole Richie at the Met Gala!Â--will be an instant crowd pleaser as well.Â--Jessica Baker

OWINGS MILLS (WUSA9) -- Joe Flacco towered above the podium stationed in the auditorium at the Baltimore Ravens training facility in Owings Mills and uttered these words: "The priority of mine was to get that respect that I feel now from this organization."
He had just inked the richest contract in NFL history: $120 million over six years.
That's a lot of Benjamins, greenbacks, dollars, or if you're looking for street cred, chedda. The day was the culmination of a breathtaking run by the quarterback everyone loved to bash. In my opinion, the criticism was warranted.
Prior to the 2012 playoffs, Flacco resembled nothing close to the highest paid player in the league. He was a solid quarterback, but certainly not elite. In fact, he was rather ho-hum. During a month-long stretch from November 18th to December 9th, NFL weeks 11-14, he threw for over 200 yards once. That's once!
But numbers are a surface level analysis of any player. The eyeball test, or watching game film, is often more revealing and in Flacco's case it offered this verdict. He was pedestrian. I remember watching him up close during this season's Redskins game. Moments before halftime, when the Ravens and Flacco could have pressed the ball down the field and possibly gotten in field goal range, they didn't. I remember thinking this guy (Flacco) has no killer instinct. I was wrong. His regular season mediocrity made his run to New Orleans, the Super Bowl, and an MVP performance all the more remarkable. It defied logic.
Defying logic is something Flacco seems adept at. Take for instance his athletic lineage. Delaware. Yeah, The University of Delaware. Compare that to the breeding grounds of the last 13 Super Bowl winning QBs prior to him: Ole Miss (Eli 2x), Cal (Rodgers), Purdue (Brees), Miami of Ohio (Big Ben 2x), Tennessee (Peyton), Michigan (Brady 3x), Fresno St. (Dilfer), Florida St. (Brad Johnson), and Northern Iowa (Warner). Probably only Kurt Warner and his Northern Iowa background compares to Delaware.
That's not all. When the first lump sum of Flacco's colossal contract gets deposited into his direct deposit account, it'll also represent something different than the norm. A quarterback getting paid after demonstrating he actually deserves it. Not before.
NFL teams are so desperate for success at the most critical position; they often leap into marriages with mates before kicking the tires thoroughly. The result, a Kim Kardashian/Kris Humphries situation: brief success, troubled waters and then an abridged relationship.
Two seasons ago, The Arizona Cardinals cast their hopes into Kevin Kolb. It was a decision based on a few specks of success he experienced during brief starts and mop up duty in Philadelphia. There were highlights-back-to-back 300 yard performances in 2009-but enough to give the guy $21million guaranteed dollars? No. Kolb, the guy who essentially played significant minutes in less than 10 games with Philly got paid! It has been an Arizona nightmare since. He's missed 17 games, been replaced and an opponent once questioned his nerve.
"He is skittish. He is scared back there," said Raiders defensive lineman Tommy Kelly after a preseason game last August. "Anytime anybody gets close to him he starts looking at the refs."
The list of quarterbacks that turned flash in the pan performances into mad bucks is long. Recently, Matt Cassel ($28 million), Matt Flynn ($10 million), and Mike Vick ($40 million). Some might scoff at the Vick comparison but ask yourself, was there truly enough evidence after his athletic resurrection to convince you he had learned how to protect the football and himself? Enough games to give him a $100 million dollar deal? Not in my opinion. Today all three quarterbacks are looking for work, benched or facing unclear futures.
The Joe Flacco story is the antithesis of those. Despite playing longer, better and more consistent than any of the quarterbacks mentioned above, he had to wait for his big payday. Eighty regular season games worth of waiting. That's a long walk to Mecca.
Not surprising, however, when you consider the Ravens methodical, low profile approach to doing business. General Manager Ozzie Newsome has crafted a first class organization and yet he is relatively invisible compared to some of his peers. If the Dallas Cowboys are the flashy sports cars of the NFL (pretty on the outside, but bad gas mileage), the Ravens are the Honda Civic.
Non-descript, good gas mileage and they just keep purring along. It's no wonder the Flacco story has turned out this way thus far.

CANTON An Essex County man was ordered by St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards Monday to pay the village of Canton more than $33,000 for his February theft and destruction of a municipal truck.
Jesse A. Montayne, 21, of 5284 Route 28, Newcomb, was placed on one year interim probation after he pleaded guilty to fourth-degree grand larceny, a class E felony, and driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor.
Originally facing a slew of charges in addition to DWI and grand larceny, including criminal mischief, failure to remove debris from the highway, driving on a sidewalk, reckless driving, speed not reasonable and prudent, failure to use designated lane, moving from lane unsafely and failure to keep right, Mr. Montayne is being given the opportunity to have his felony charge reduced to petit larceny, a class A misdemeanor, if he is successful in completing his year of interim probation.
Judge Richards also said Mr. Montayne would have to pay the village a total of $33,676.03 in restitution for the incident that led to the damaged truck and his arrest.
In the early morning hours of Feb. 28, Mr. Montayne stole a 2003 Chevrolet truck owned by the village from the St. Lawrence County Highway Department lot on Park Street and rammed a chain link fence several times before driving out onto Miner Street. He then drove the vehicle from Miner Street onto Lincoln Street, drove over the sidewalk and ran over a stop sign at Park Street.
It wasnt until he struck a utility pole on University Avenue that he stopped his joyride and took off on foot.
Village police soon tracked him to an apartment on Dies Street. But as police approached the building, Mr. Montayne scrambled out a window at the back of the building. Officers captured him in the backyard.
The truck sustained major body damage, according to police documents, and its plow had been broken.
Judge Richards adjourned sentencing until Aug. 24.

Hottest Hair Color Trends for 2015
Hair Color Trends for 2015 Have Changed the Way We Think About "Pops" of Color
If your mantra is "new year, new hair color", you are probably busy searching for new ideas or forecasts for the hottest hair color trends for 2015. Well, you're in the right place, as we are compiling those new trends for you here. On one hand, there are no major changes when it comes to hair color trends – however, there is a notable shift in the focus of color. At the moment, natural looking tresses with a "pop" of color is what is defining hair color trends for 2015.
If you are planning to book an appointment with your hairdresser for a new hair color, make sure you check out the trends below for these fun possibilities. You can also check out celebrity hair inspirations to find the perfect match for your skin tone or hair type.
If you are a hair color aficionado, then this isn't the first time that you've heard of the "balayage" technique. This hair color technique has been combined with "ombre" coloring and is referred to as "blended ombre". It is a highlighting technique that originated in France. Balayage is characterized by painted highlights that are very close to the natural color of the hair, which produces a more gradual color transition in the strands. This technique can create the perfect sun-kissed effect on your hair!
Ecaille aka Tortoiseshell Hair
Ecaille or tortoiseshell hair is emerging as the top hair color trend for 2015. It has been around for some time, but it has finally decided to take over ombre and step into the center stage. This highlighting technique provides a beautifully contrasted blend of colors with its use of dark and rich caramel tones along with some golden highlights.
You might find the name funny or weird, but babylights is a new favorite amongst celebrities and supermodels. In fact, it is the ideal kind of hair color for spring or summer due to the use of light hues and color tones. The reason why it works so well for the warm weather months is because it looks as if the sun lightened it! It is all about subtlety. With babylights, the highlights blend more with your base color as the tiniest bits of hair are sectioned out to be colored. Most of the color that shines through is your natural hair color. A few well placed babylights can also make your hair look healthier and the color more dynamic.
Soft Reds
As hair color trends for 2015 are shifting towards more natural looks, vibrant reds are being upstaged by softer red tones like auburn, or reds with a hint of gold. You can take inspiration on this particular hair color from celebrities like Amy Adams, Isla Fisher, Jessica Chastain and even Kate Middleton.
Golden Highlights
Golden highlights, whether bold or subtle, add dimension, interest and warmth and seem to be a mainstay in the hair color industry, regardless of the trends. So, if you are in dilemma as of what to do, ask your hairstylist if golden highlights will work for you!
Which of these hair color trends are you excited to try in 2015?

There's a different aura surrounding Scott Atchison and fellow relief pitcher Michael Bowden – the kind that goes with the territory of having the baseball phrase "out of options" stamped on their respective professional careers.
As Atchison and Bowden prepare to head to spring training with the Red Sox next month, the pair do so knowing that they will be adhering to a new set of rules. No longer will either be subject to the days of yo-yoing back and forth between the major and the minor leagues. For a refreshing change of pace, their destiny for the upcoming season and beyond will be determined by whether the parent club sees fit to include them on the active roster.
Otherwise, it's off to the waiver wire, and with it, the chance of latching on with another club.
"My mindset is to go in and have a good spring and try to convince them that they need me on the team," said Atchison, who over the past two seasons has logged 107 appearances between Boston and Pawtucket. "If that doesn't work, things will obviously be a little different. They just can't send me down because there's a chance somebody could pick me up."
The same predicament holds true for Bowden, who during the 2011 season was subjected to four call-ups from Pawtucket with three return trips to Triple A. Atchison's name was also in heavy rotation on the transaction wire, the 35-year-old righty summoned six times to Boston was farmed out in five instances. In an ironic twist, the two were swapped out for one another on two occasions, Atchison replacing Bowden on June 24 and Bowden taking the place of Atchison on Aug. 27.
Both players-in-question have outgrown the criteria used to determine just how long a particular player has options available. Generally a player runs out of options when he's been included on the 40-man roster during three different seasons, the beauty of the rule being that a MLB team can send a player back and forth without limit during a given season and it only counts as one option.
Once that final option year has been utilized, the player can be returned to the minor leagues only on a rehab assignment or if his club first places him on waivers, an open-market process that makes him available to the other 29 teams.
"It's unfortunate for guys like me and (Atchison) that we're in this position, but that's part of the game," Bowden said. "To play for a team like the Red Sox, they have the ability to do stuff like that. We go up and down but it's no big deal. We'll eventually get our opportunity and hopefully when that time comes, I'll be able to take advantage of it."
Bowden, a starter-turned-reliever who underwent the conversion during the 2010 season, believes being devoid of options is something that can work to the 25-year-old's advantage.
"For the first time, I feel I have a strong chance of making the team out of spring training," expressed the 2005 supplemental first-round pick of Boston's before explaining why. "Not only am I confident in my abilities, but because I don't have any options left, [the Red Sox] have to make a decision."
Such judgment could stem from how Bowden and Atchison, still listed on the 40-man roster despite the BoSox declining to pick up his 2012 option, perform under the warm March sun in Fort Myers, Fla. With the back end of Boston's bullpen undergoing a makeover with the acquisitions of closer Andrew Bailey and setup man Mark Melancon, the greatest source of intrigue during spring training promises to be who emerges as the team's long-relief option. Such competition figures to encompass virtually all of Grapefruit League play and include many an opportunity for the likes of Atchison and Bowden to state their case.
There's also the chance, depending on how Bobby Jenks progresses after recently undergoing a second corrective procedure on his spin, that additional bullpen slot could open up, a development which figures to work in Atchison's and Bowden's favor.
"I've seen the Red Sox do this with a number of guys during the past few years, but I'm not going to change a thing. I'm going to go into spring training and do as well as I can. Whatever happens happens," Bowden said. "I have confidence in my ability that for some reason if the Red Sox don't deem me in their plans, I'll be able to pitch for a lot of other clubs."
Added Atchison, "When it comes time for the Red Sox to make a decision, hopefully I've done enough for them to keep me because Boston is where I want to be and hopefully be a part of something special this year.
"You've just got to mix everything together," Atchison went on. "It's still only spring training and you're getting everything fine-tuned to try and get ready for the season, but being in a position to win a job and prove what you can do, it's a balance you have to find."

PROVIDENCE – Two East Providence police officers and another from Pawtucket were among 17 law enforcement officers and federal prosecutors honored Friday with a top U.S. Department of Justice award for curbing narcotics trafficking on the state's "Heroin Highway," the U.S. Attorney's office announced.
The notorious stretch of I-195 from Providence to Cape Cod has been used for many years to transport heroin to street-level drug dealers and drug users, federal prosecutors say.
"People ask, 'Why do we continue this war on drugs?'" said U.S. Attorney Peter Neronha. "Because all illegal drugs, and especially heroin, ruin people's lives, and not only the lives of the people using them. They lay waste to human potential, and cause violent and other crime."
The officers recognized for their work to reduce heroin trafficking represent, "Law enforcement at its very best," Neronha said.
Over the past two years, a multi-agency team of law enforcement officers have employed a variety of techniques to choke off narcotics trafficking on the Heroin Highway, Neronha said. The team included members of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the R.I. DEA Drug Task Force, Homeland Security Investigations, Rhode Island State Police, and the Providence, Warwick, East Providence, Newport, Pawtucket and Cranston police departments.
The effort resulted in the arrest of 32 individuals, ranging from street level drug dealers to high level Mexican, Dominican and Guatemalan heroin traffickers. Law enforcement has seized more than 5 kilos of heroin, more than 6 kilos of cocaine and assets totaling at least $609,000.
It is believed that the individuals arrested during "Operation Heroin Highway" were supplying as much as 60 percent of the heroin distributed along I-195 East from Providence to Cape Cod.
In a ceremony at the U.S. Attorney's Office Friday, Neronha joined Associate Deputy Attorney General James H. Dinan, Director of the Department of Justice's Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF); John J. Arvanitis, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration's New England Field Division; and J. Michael Netherland, Deputy Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), to recognize the members of the New England Regional OCDETF for outstanding contributions to cooperative law enforcement and to the OCDETF Program.
"I commend all the federal, state and local law enforcement agents and officers for their tireless efforts to combat drug trafficking in our communities and for receiving this prestigious award," said Netherland, who heads of HSI's Boston office. "These drug traffickers commit violent crimes and terrorize our neighborhoods. Disrupting and dismantling their activities is a top priority for HSI."
The OCDETF Program was established in 1982 as a multi-agency, nationwide effort to pursue intelligence-driven, coordinated multi-jurisdictional investigations of criminal organizations trafficking drugs and laundering the illicit proceeds of crime. The OCDETF Program forms the centerpiece of the DOJ counter-narcotics strategy and is also the platform through which the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of the Treasury pursue complex drug and drug-related money laundering investigations.
The honorees included DEA Special Agent Kevin Eaton; DEA Special Agent Dave Carnevale; DEA Special Agent Alex Koumanelis; DEA Special Agent James McCormack; DEA Special Agent Robyn Meletis; DEA Analyst Andrea Metz; DEA Drug Task Force Officer Dennis Smith, Pawtucket Police Department; DEA Drug Task Force Officer Mike Naylor, Newport Police Department; DEA Drug Task Force Officer Robert Page, Warwick Police Department; DEA Drug Task Force Officer Mike Masaitis, East Providence Police Department; DEA Drug Task Force Officer Juan Robles, Providence Police Department; DEA Drug Task Force Officer Dennis Fleming, Rhode Island State Police; Special Agent Michael Carvalho, Homeland Security Investigations; Det. Darren Ellinwood, East Providence Police Department; Sgt. Diogo Mello, East Providence Police Department; Lt. Russ Henry, Cranston Police Department; Assistant U.S. Attorney Adi Goldstein, deputy criminal chief.

Commission proposes €1.9 million from Globalisation Fund to help redundant workers in the Spanish car industry Uverejnené dňa:: 05/03/2014, Posledná aktualizácia: 25/06/2015
The European Commission has proposed to provide Spain with €1.9 million from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) to help 285 former workers of the car manufacturer Grupo Santana in Andalucía find new jobs. The proposal now goes to the European Parliament and the EU's Council of Ministers for approval.
The package is designed to help the workers by offering them upskilling, vocational and on-the-job training and training allowances.
EU Commissioner responsible for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, László Andor, commented: "Car production in Europe has dropped dramatically and the car industry is facing major structural changes to respond to globalisation. Many workers in the motor industry are experiencing hardship and EU solidarity is therefore important to help them manage this difficult transition. The €1.9 million we have proposed would help these redundant workers to adapt their skills and make it easier for them to find a new job or set up their own enterprises".

This is a very good vitamin. My doctor prescribed it for me when I was struggling with adrenal fatigue and wants me to continue on it now that I'm pregnant (and afterward). I was taking a chewable prenatal vitamin while I had morning sickness, because I found 6 Optivite tablets a day a bit much too swallow. It's obvious from the labels that Optivite is a much better choice, but I still hate swallowing them, and taking them crushed is even worse. But I've noticed that some of my pregnancy symptoms (like my constant runny nose) have abated since I started taking it.

Customer's Original 3 Star Review 7-21-13
I recently purchased these custom made floor mats to help protect the interior of my car. I can safely say that the mats are well made and should perform their intended function. I only rated these mats 3 stars as I am not sure what pattern was used to make these floor mats. The rear mats are at least 15% smaller than the factory original mats and the driver's side mat is a good 10% smaller than the original. What intrigues me is why the mat for the passenger side is correctly sized. Oh well, 1 correct out of 4 isn't bad for custom mats, but wait, I guess it is bad.

It started with a 131-character tweet sent Tuesday afternoon.
"All hell's about to break loose. BCBS DENIED Lorelei's transplant. No words for how angry I am. I guess it's cheaper to let her die," Andrea Decker said via Twitter.
It started with a 131-character tweet sent Tuesday afternoon.
"All hell's about to break loose. BCBS DENIED Lorelei's transplant. No words for how angry I am. I guess it's cheaper to let her die," Andrea Decker said via Twitter.
Decker's frustrated tweet came after she and her family learned that Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma had denied her daughter a cancer therapy that they say would save her life.
The family began a Twitter campaign using the hashtag #ApproveLorelei. Several Oklahoma residents sent hundreds of tweets, using the hashtag to express their feelings regarding the Oklahoma insurance company's decision.
And Wednesday afternoon, the Deckers found out Blue Cross Blue Shield had changed its decision and was told the cancer treatment was approved.
Lorelei Decker said she will not stop with her own fight and is calling for change.
"They can't just give people the runaround because the people they're giving the runaround are so tired of fighting cancer and so tired that they just feel defeated and quit," Lorelei Decker said. "And that's why this is never public — because it is so hard to fight cancer that it's too hard to fight insurance, too."
Hilarie Houghton, a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma spokeswoman, said she could not comment on a specific case, citing state and federal privacy laws concerning medical records.
"We have an established medical review process to ensure that our members receive appropriate, necessary and effective care," Houghton said in a statement. "In general, the process may include predetermination/preauthorization, an initial review policy determination by an internal medical doctor, a peer-to-peer review (a discussion between the member's doctor and a Blue Cross doctor to exchange pertinent information) and an appeals process that offers a clinical review by a specialty doctor, often a third party."
Houghton said Blue Cross Blue Shield respects the roles of its members and their doctors but must "adhere to the plan certificates and regulatory guidelines that direct us regarding coverage decisions, determining what therapies are of proven efficacy, and evaluation of unusual therapies."
About her cancer
Lorelei Decker, an 18-year-old Oklahoma City resident, was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma during the second semester of her senior year at Putnam City North High School, when she was 17.
Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer of lymph tissue found in the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, bone marrow and other sites, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Most people diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma are treated successfully through treatment. The five-year relative survival rate for patients with that type of cancer has increased dramatically from 40 percent in whites from 1960 to 1963 to 86.3 percent for all races from 2001 to 2007, according to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- For the better part of two decades, alarge truck packed full of books used to make the rounds in underserved neighborhoods in the city, delivering books to kids and senior citizens. In the early 1990's that service stopped, but now its sleeker, smarter sibling has arrived to restart the bookmobile program.
"When I was much younger, I used to love when the bookmobile came to my neighborhood," stated Portland Mayor Michael Brennan. He says the bookmobile will help students retain information learned during the school year by keeping them engaged in learning and reading all year long.
"The bookmobile will enable us to do a broad range of programs in neighborhoods with partners that address topics ranging from health, financial education, history and science," explained Steve Podgajny, theexecutive director of the Portland Public Library.
The bookmobile is equipped with a lift to help disabled patrons climb aboard and browse its stacks which will be able to bring roughly 1,700 books along on each journey.
The van is also outfitted with a computer and wireless internet capabilities that will allow library staff to expand the programs they are able to offer.
"This is all beginning again, what we used to do," saidJim Charette, who drove the original bookmobile around for about a dozen years.
He says this service helps people get connected with the library and its programming and will be especially well received byparentswho have a hard time finding time to getgood books for their kids to read.
"The internet, e-books have been concentrating heavily on adults," he explained. "There is not as much available for children."
The bookmobile's schedule is still being refined, but it will open its doors to the public for the first time in Monument Square on Friday, April 5th during the First Friday Art Walk.
The bookmobile's return was made possible by a large donation by Key Bank and through funding from the library's funds.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
During East Carbon's regularly scheduled council meeting Tuesday, local officials continued to debate the fate of the city's involvement in a proposed joint public safety facility.
The discussion became heated when East Carbon Mayor Orlando LaFontaine informed the city officials and a chamber packed with citizens that he intended to reassign the council position overseeing the fire department.
"When I took the office of mayor, I didn't know anyone, so the appointments that we have are essentially the appointments made by former Mayor Andrews," explained LaFontaine. "I have been mayor for a year and a half now and I would like to make some changes as we go forward as a city."
LaFontaine then appointed Brian Powell as the assistant chief of the East Carbon fire department. The mayor said he believed the assistant chief needed to be a firefighter and certified individual.
Powell will replace East Carbon Councilmember Terry Harrison in the position.
LaFontaine then began proceedings to remove Councilmember Darlene Kuhns from her current assignments with the fire department and as mayor pro tem.
"I feel that Darlene has done a good job with the firemen, but our city is trying to move in a direction of growth and I would like to oversee that," commented LaFontaine. "I have spoken with the mayors of other towns within our county and several of them have the assignment of their public safety as a whole and I would like to take on that responsibility."
At that point, Kuhns spoke in opposition of the mayor's proposed action.
"These firemen like me and they respect me. You are taking this away from me because of a personal vendetta and the way I read the law you can't do this without the advice and consent of the council," stated Kuhns.
After a short deliberation, city attorney Jeremy Humes, concluded that LaFontaine needed the support of the council to remove Kuhns from her positions.
Several motions were made and, after polling the council, Kuhns retained her assignment with the fire department and her position a mayor pro tem.
LaFontaine indicated that he was disappointed with the actions of the city council.
"I am very disappointed with the fact that this council would not back me up in upholding a decision that they have made on three separate occasions," commented LaFontaine. "We are never going to have the cooperation of our fire department in obtaining funding for this public safety project as long as Darlene is their representative on the council."
The occasions LaFontaine referred to involved three separate motions passed by the East Carbon council to enter into a partnership with Sunnyside city on a public safety building project.
Kuhns and Councilmember Darma Lopez voted against the combined project in two of the three motions.
According to LaFontaine, Humes has advised him that East Carbon had entered into a binding contract with Sunnyside in seeking funding for the proposed public safety building. And East Carbon could face legal action if the officials were to pull out of the agreement of the present time.
"Our lawyer has informed me that we could be liable for the cost of that building and just as importantly, we made an agreement with Sunnyside. To pull out of that now is wrong no matter how you look at it," said LaFontaine.
But Kuhns disagreed with the mayor's stance on the issued.
In fact, the councilmember maintained that East Carbon pulling out of the agreement would be the best scenario for both cities.
"I feel that East Carbon has an adequate fire department and we are fine right where we are. I would like to see Sunnyside get a new building and bring the ambulance out of the canyon and I will support them anyway that I can," commented the councilmember.
"We should have never stuck our nose in their attempt to get funding in the first place, East Carbon should get out now and let Sunnyside proceed with their project," concluded Kuhns.

How to stop telemarketers who are still calling
The Do Not Call list was created 10 years ago, but some consumers still complain that they're getting calls from telemarketers. However, most people don't realize there are exemptions for certain kinds of telemarketers:
• Charities seeking donations;
• Politicians seeking your vote;
• Companies with which you have an existing business relationship;
• Survey companies doing opinion polls.
In addition to the National Do Not Call Registry, telemarketers must maintain an internal "do not call" list.
You should always say "please put me on your internal do not call list" when you don't want to hear from a company again. Fail to do so, and some other telemarketer from there will be bugging you in the future, ABC News reported.
Many people instead blurt "take me off your list!" Reputable companies should recognize that as a request to be put on the internal "do not call" list, but slimy ones will use this imprecise wording against you and ignore your request.
"Please put me on your internal do not call list," should help screen out the exempted telemarketers who are still calling you and give you even more peace at suppertime.
If you like giving your opinion to pollsters, or being reminded to give to charities or vote for politicians, great. If not, use the line.
Even if you have a business relationship with a company, you can use the line. Yes, you are a customer, but that doesn't mean you want them to call and try to sell you other services.
