Read: Pittsburgh Owner Ron Burkle Could/Should Be A Big Player In This
9:21PM: The Penguins praised the inclusion of their owner in the talks today.
11:56AM: Pierre LeBrun writes at ESPN.com that Burkle is a key to the process and writes, "Burkle, I'm told, has strongly wanted to get involved of late and I believe he's going into this meeting with the intent of doing everything he can to close the gap between sides. And I don't think Jacobs' presence in the room means a newbie like Burkle is going to take any marching orders from him. So, I can only take it as a positive that Burkle, with his impressive track record in his real-life business world, is taking a stab at this."
9:46AM: In the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Rob Rossi writes about Penguins co-owner Ron Burkle and how he is taking part in the meeting tomorrow with the NHLPA.
Rossi notes that Burkle is "close" with Sidney Crosby and reports are that Crosby will be in the meeting tomorrow.
He writes that Burkle is considered to be a "master deal marker" and has experience working with unions in his native California.
Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell praised Burkle for his toughness as a negotiator and the role he took in getting the Consol Energy center built,"He is prepared, keeps his cool and understands that there has to be give from both sides to get a deal done. That's what I saw from him during the arena talks."

Victorinox Swiss Army Recruit
The best pocket knife money can buy. You can keep any other brand as far as I am concerned. They are all Victorinox wannabes. This knife is simple, robust, and beats the competition by a clear mile every time. I own a Spartan and a SwissChamp. Both are first rate. But do you know what is on my EDC keychain? That's right. The Spartan. Along with my Leatherman Micra, it goes with me when I leave home. I know, that between these two tools, sh*t happens and I got it covered. The Spartan has all… Full review
Victorinox Swiss Army Recruit
The perfect first pocket knife that I recommend for all Scouts. It has the most commonly needed tools with a high quality steel that holds an edge well in a size suitable for Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts alike. Ease of Use: Easy to use! Liner lock securely holds blades open and allows Cub Scouts to close blades easily. Blades come sharp and ready to use. Can opener works great! Features: Large blade, small blade, can opener, small and large screwdrivers, tweezers, and tooth pick. It also has a bottle… Full review

Leatherman Style PS
At 1.6 oz, the Style PS is an ultralight multi-tool that has EVERYTHING a hiker could want…except a knife blade. (Oops!) Let me start with a story… I am in the St. Louis REI, with an hour to kill before a flight to Boulder, CO. I am staring at a wall of multi-tools—Leatherman, Gerber, Swiss—way too many choices. What I really want to find is a sub-3oz tool with both pliers and scissors. After 45 minutes of comparison shopping, I select the Style PS and head to the airport. A few hours later,… Full review

Best EDC knife imo. 84mm so it leaves place in pocket. Discrete worn clipped on belt. No useless accessories. After many sak, this is the one!!! Full review
Lansky Blademedic Knife Sharpener
Maybe we are leaving out of this that some knives get SO dull that the first step must be a reshaping with a file. Then go to the fine stuff for that final edge. This looks like a really well featured version of a number of available knife sharpening tools, but a small file is called for with a very dull/nicked blade, so don't expect miracles folks.

Lansky Blademedic Knife Sharpener
Inexpensive, small knife sharpener. From pocket knives to serrated edges to gut hooks, it comes in handy for many uses. Has brought two pocket knives back to life, though be careful as it can seem small for larger hands. I wouldn't recommend for anything bigger than 6" long knife. Background I've previously only owned a whetstone which I used on pocket knives and kitchen knives, but never used on any other knife (say, with a serrated edge) or any other hook or hooked-shaped implement. When used… Full review

About NAMD
The National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD) is a 501(c) (3) entity that was created in large part to help Medicaid Directors develop consensus on critical issues and leverage their influence with respect to national policy debates. NAMD also exists to facilitate dialogue amongst the members in the 50 states, 5 territories and the District of Columbia, and help provide best practices and technical assistance tailored to individual members as they seek to sustain the program and ensure it continues to serve the needs of current and future enrollees.
Every state designates a single agency with responsibility for administration of this program, and the Medicaid Directors are those individuals tasked with the primary responsibility of ensuring that the program is providing high quality, cost effective care to its beneficiaries. Medicaid Directors' efforts to be leaders and innovators in the nation's complex health care system are made more challenging by historic state budget challenges, as well as a complex and fragmented web of federal oversight and regulation.
Medicaid is the nation's health care safety net. Jointly financed by the states and the federal government, Medicaid will spend more than $420 billion last year to provide health care to more than 72 million Americans. The program is administered by the states within a broad federal framework which leads to enormous variation across states in terms of who is covered, what services are provided, and how those services are delivered and paid for. Furthermore, within any given state, Medicaid's role is broad, varied, and complex. Medicaid funds more than 40 percent of all births, and the majority of all publicly financed long-term care in this country. It also provides most of the nation's funding for HIV/AIDS related treatments, mental health services, and others. It is therefore very difficult to talk simplistically about Medicaid (either nationally, or within a state), despite its incredible importance in the U.S. health care system.

I'm looking at a new job soon, and I'm thinking about contributing to a few open source projects in the short term so that I can add them to my résumé.
Is having open source projects on a résumé important? If so, would trying to contribute to several in a few months look too much like trying to boost my résumé?

Since I'm not a baseball fan, could someone please explain to me why the batter was out on that particular play tonight? No one caught the ball, so I don't understand why the batter would be out.
I don't watch baseball anymore so don't know the specifics of this particular incident. The IFR is called so the infielder doesn't intentionally drop the ball and then create a double or triple play (i,e. throw the runner on 1st out at 2nd base and the batter at 1st base.
Didn't see the play so I can't explain it using the particulars of the situation but here's the general idea explained with an imagined situation.There's a runner on first base and not very high and not deep fly ball is hit. If the runner tries to advance to second base and the ball is caught in the air then he can be doubled up if does not return to first base before the ball can be thrown to first base. But if he does not try to advance to second base the fielder can let the ball drop in front of himself then throw the ball to second base, forcing the runner out and then thrown to first base getting the batter out. Either way it's a double play. Early on in the development of the game this was recognized that it is an unfair situation so the infield fly rule was instituted, declaring the batter out and relieving the runner of the unattractive dilemma.Here's a better explanation
Thanks guys, but I guess you'd have to see the play to see why I'm so perplexed. The ball dropped, nobody threw it anywhere, but the batter was ruled out, and I can't understand why.
I was at the game Doug - terrible call, and a terrible way to end the Braves season.The reasoning behind the call was that the STL shortstop used "ordinary effort" to try to catch the ball. The fact was, he ran a long way to get to it, and miscommunicated with Holliday as to who was making the catch.
.my guess is that the ball dropped because the last person to change the globe did not screw it back correctly
Edited by Franco on 10/05/2012 22:02:23 MDT.
Ah, I finally followed Jim's link, and it says: When the rule is invoked, the batter is out (and all force plays removed) regardless of whether the ball is caught, thus negating the possibility for multiple outs.So whether or not anyone catches the ball, the batter is out. What a dumb rule.
What are you doing at home watching baseball? Shouldn't you be at the bar? Hey Ladies.....
Idster, the first rule here is that you never actually have baseball going on the tube, unless you are taking a nap on the couch and want some soft, boring background sounds. And even then, tennis, or especially golf, are better choices. But you never, ever want to tune into a Spanish language soccer game with the sound up loud while you're napping. Trust me on this...I'm a professional couch napper guy.
Now Doug, I would like you to come up with some poetic reference to Infield Fly Rule applied to Romney and Obama
The rule has a purpose. If you'd ever played baseball you'd get it. But as people said the short answer is it keeps people from getting easy double plays by intentionally screwing up. You'll note it only comes into play only with less than 2 outs and a force at third.
Okay, now I'm searching even harder for a Romney/Obama analogy. And now I know I'm supposed to be against it : )Like Obama intentionally muffed the debate so he could put Romney out.And I disagree with the infield fly rule - Obama should be allowed to do this.That would work...
"terrible call, and a terrible way to end the Braves season."@ Ben - agreed. I know there are exceptions and subjectivities to every rule, but a shot to the middle of left field seems a bit of a stretch for an IFR to be called.Admittedly, Cards probably deserved to win--Braves didn't really show up to that game-- but def a terrible way to end it.
That had to be one of the worst calls I have ever seen. The ball was hit to shallow LF. I have seen many balls fall in like that and not get called. BAD!That said, GO GIANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry Gary, baseball is not boring....it's a chess match. Love baseball!
It's OK, Ken. I've learned to be comfortable with my inner baseball apathy.
".it's a chess match"Which are boring....; )
So Jerry wanted a poem kinda mixing baseball and politics.Okay. But remember, I was asked. With appropriate appreciation for Casey At The Bat:Romney and Obama At The BatThe outlook wasn't brilliant for the first debate that night.As the two combatants shook hands 'neath the TV's glaring lights.Johnson wasn't present. Nor Stein allowed in this 'game'.A sickly silence fell on those who felt this was so lame.An independent few got up to go with much disdain.The rest clung to the hope that this wouldn't be more of the same.They thought, if only one of these guys could just be straight tonight,We might actually hear some truth! They might actually shed some light!But all that hoping was for naught, and the crowd, now in despair, Suffered through the candidates' empty promises, their lies, their standard fare.My plan is the best one!, cried one to the crowd.But the other quickly disagreed, and he disagreed quite loud.Am not! Are too! Am not! Are too! was the order of the night.They lied and fibbed in a trashy attempt to cast themselves as right.And when the dust had settled, and people saw what had occurred,They began to argue amongst themselves in this theater of the absurd.I wish from 50 million votes and more there'd rise a lusty yell;That it would rumble through the valley, and rattle in the dell;That it would knock upon the mountain and recoil upon the flat,That America, mighty America, would simply have no more of that.But with Maddow on the left, and Bill O'Reilly on the right,And the lemmings who listen to them, we're sadly sure to keep the fight.So the rest of us are saddened, we feel we're running out of luck.For us there is no joy in America since both the two main choices suck...
Boring.I have yet to ever sit through an entire sporting event that I was forcibly taken to watch. No sports on TV or radio for me either.I'm 45 and have not played chess in 30 years.
Very nice Doug!

You know those first few moments of a summer blockbuster: a train whooshes by, a shiny sports car narrowly escapes a bumbling bus, or an as-of-yet unknown hero leaps from a thirty-story window and landsÂ...completely unscathed. These pulse-racing moments let you know you're in for a wild ride and loads of thrills, which is exactly how we feel about today's story. Admittedly, uncovering a few killer looks isn't exactly akin to creating something like Inception (Christopher Nolan we're not), but we do feel truly excited about this month's crop of impeccable dressers. After all, it's rare to hit upon such a cross-section of heavy hittersÂ--Battaglia! Hemingway! Repossi! Oh my!Â--decked out in truly inspiring ensembles that pay rightful homage to their singular aesthetics. Whether it's the bewitching Rachel Bilson in one of fall's biggest trends or the beautiful Rose Byrne wearing her hair in a fabulous way, these six fashion-forward looks definitely get our adrenaline going by reminding us that there's always room for a little gusto and stylish experimentation. So without further ado, we invite you to bust out the popcorn and enjoy all of the Daring!, Adventure!, and Intrigue! that comprises this month's installment of WWW: Styling Tips!
Tip #1: Mix spring favorites with textured finds.
As the artistic director for her family's fine jewelry line, Gaia Repossi clearly has an eye for the luxe things in life. Even better: she knows how to put this skill to work, as she so aptly demonstrated at a Ralph Lauren dinner party in Paris. To attend this chic soiree fete-ing the opening of the RL flagship store in the City of Light, Repossi selected Celine's Bonded Leather Dress ($4500) from the S/S 10 collection, an Isabel Marant jacket, Chanel's now-famous clogs, and of course, accessorized with an Ere by Repossi Ring ($6860) and a Twin Ring ($6099). We love how she mixed spring's most celebrated footwear with her all-weather leather and further integrated an of-the-moment furry coat for a luxe and intriguing pre-fall look. To try out Repossi's upper-crust ensemble for yourself, we suggest starting with a camel leather dress like Marc by Marc Jacobs' Glove Leather Dress ($758), which, due to its all-season versatility, is an excellent investment piece; otherwise you can snag a serious steal with H&M's camel version ($129)! Next, you need a textured piece, so reach for that faux fur in a contrasting neutral hue, like Alice + Olivia's Chris Faux Fur Vest ($396), and top off your look with Love Quotes' Hand Knotted Tassel Scarf ($85).
Tip #2: Try groomed curls instead of lank locks.
If there's one thing we absolutely love about Rose Byrne (aside from her cutthroat lawyer persona on Damages), is that she gives great hair. Case in point: her choice of gorgeous full waves at the Crest 3D White-sponsored Breakthrough of the Year Awards earlier this month. The starlet's soft curls contrast perfectly with her sober color palette and bold red lips. The coif also adds a glamorous touch to her unfussy outfit, which consisted of Vanessa Bruno's Draped Dress ($444) and Velvet and Leather Jacket ($836), plus Brian Atwood's Black Suede Marlo Pumps ($635). When recreating the small-screen star's look for yourself, opt for a chic jersey dress with a touch of drapingÂ--we like 3.1 Phillip Lim's Draped Melange Jersey Dress ($350) or BCBG's Draped Dress ($188)Â--then pile on the intrigue with Topshop's Waterfall Jacket ($125) for an effortlessly sexy cocktail look. Finally, nail the Australian stunner's glossy locks by wrapping sections of your strands around Sultra's The Bombshell 1" Curling Iron ($130), add a touch of Alterna's Caviar Anti-Aging Dry Shampoo ($20) to give your roots some healthy volume, and seal in the shine with a few spritzes of Bumble and Bumble's Bb.Shine ($35) to guarantee lustrous, lust-worthy curls. As for that glamorous red-lipped pout, big spenders can go for Tom Ford's Private Blend Lip Color ($45) in any of his three reds, or you can reach for Maybelline's ColorSensational Lipcolor ($7.50) in Are You Red-dy for a quick, red-carpet ready fix!
Tip #3: Experiment with '50s and '70s styles.
It seems like every designer is nodding to one decade or another this season, but two of the vintage-inspired trends hitting high on our radar are flare jeans and retro-style sundresses. Thus, when we came across this photo of the achingly cool Dree Hemingway and her friend Lily Seidler, Senior Coordinator of VP Relations at Prada, at the Endangered Species Coalition Fundraiser For The Gulf Pelicans in New York earlier this summer, we swooned for their cutting-edge interpretations of these vintage silhouettes. Looking every inch the perennial stylesetter she is, Hemingway opted for vintage wide-leg Chloe jeansÂ--we like 7 for All Mankind's Trouser Jeans ($189) in Summernite or See by Chloe's Flared Jeans ($122)Â--and Celine's Black Velvet Open Tie Clogs ($790) for her feet. (Her exact shoes are tough to track down, so try Jessica Simpson's Dany Platforms ($98) for a more wallet-friendly option.) Hemingway further accented her look by selecting Prada's Faille Bag ($650), which provides just the right pop of color and a dose of hippy-kitsch to her whole ensemble. The lovely Prada exec, on the other hand, decided to channel an earlier decade in a Prada Popline Print Dress ($755), Clutch ($1350), and Shoes ($690);she further highlighted her adorable figure and added textural intrigue to her look with a woven belt. We're absolutely mad about this silhouette for hot summer days and suggest Floreat's Chromatic Canvas Shirtdress ($148) for an equally pretty print. Then, finish your ensemble with either Lauren Merkin's Exclusive Eve Floral-Print Clutch ($165) or Kitson's Blue L'Aquila Clutch ($48) depending on your decade-inspiration of choice and you'll be ready to RSVP yes to the fashion cognoscenti's call.
Tip #4: Pair a sturdy nude clog with a little dress.
When it comes to the Olsen family, stylesetting prowess clearly runs in their genes, as the youngest member of the fashion-forward tribe, Elizabeth Olsen, illustrated when she attended a screening of Mao's Last Dancer in New York earlier this month. Olsen looked absolutely adorable in her Kimchi Blue Shortsleeve Printed Silk Surplice Dress ($78), which she flawlessly accessorized with a waist-cinching belt. Additionally, we appreciate the rising star's use of Swedish Hasbeen's T-Strap Clogs ($250)Â--which she smartly selected in a nude hue, to give her legs a longer lineÂ--to ground the ethereal print of her summery frock. While all of Olsen's outfit is still available for purchase, we also recommend Kors Michael Kors' Claudia Suede Platform Clogs ($250) in Tan, or you can always go for the perpetually popular Jeffrey Campbell Charli Platform Clog ($148) in Natural.
Tip #5: Use lots of pastel pieces in one look.
Unlike a bevy of brights, which can sometimes be overpowering, a few well-placed pastels easily enliven an outfit. Case in point: the ensemble Giovanna Battaglia so deftly modeled at the Bulgari Man fragrance launch party in Milan earlier this summer. The L'Uomo Vogue editor is the third stylesetter featured today who opted for a retro-inspired sundress, but we love how the Italian maven du mode made it her own with a thin belt, gilded Lanvin flats, and Fendi's Small Selleria Peekaboo Bag ($2750) in Pomegranate. Use Battaglia as inspiration and snatch up Kimchi Blue's Full Circle Dress ($48) and Corso Cosmo's Festive Flats ($60) for an ensemble ideal for touring foreign cities or chicly running to a daytime lunch.
Tip #6: Start wearing fall's hottest color now.
While we love a good neutral-colored tee, camel coat, or black patent heel, one of the things we're most excited about for fall is the resurgence of red! While this bold hue burst forth in the form of luscious leathers on the F/W 10 runways, we love the way Rachel Bilson got ahead of the sartorial curve at a dinner for the designer Vanessa Bruno earlier this summer in sunny LA. The red Vanessa Bruno skirt is the perfect way to incorporate this emerging trend and we adore the way Bilson went for a full-tilt French look by pairing it with JET's Striped Tank ($64) and black jacket from Bruno's S/S 10 collection. The trendsetter's embellished vintage bag provides even further intrigue, while her of-the-moment Marni clogs keep her outfit summery and fresh. Ready to recreate this cute outfit for your next night out? Simply pair your favorite striped top with BCBGeneration's Seamed Miniskirt ($68), Silence & Noise's Chiffon Open Jacket ($68), and Ecote's Antiqued Metallic Clutch ($38) for a touch of shimmer and a Bilson-approved cocktail look.Â--Liza Kaplan

SCHENECTADY A second straight shutout loss, combined with a smart move by Princeton coach Bob Prier in another game, means that the Clarkson University mens hockey team will open the ECAC Hockey playoffs with a first-round series at Brown next weekend.
Union College blanked the Golden Knights, 4-0, before 2,371 fans at Messa Rink on Saturday to earn a first-round bye for itself in the conference playoffs.
Clarkson (9-18-7 overall, 8-11-3 conference) had a chance to claim the No. 8 seed if Princeton had stayed in a 1-1 tie with Harvard. But Prier, knowing his team had to win, pulled his goalie late in the overtime period and Andrew Calof scored to drop Clarkson into the 10th seed in the playoffs.
Clarkson tied Brown, 3-3, in Providence, R.I., on Nov. 10 and then lost 3-2 to the Bears in Cheel Arena on Jan. 11.
We didnt beat them this year, but we played them a while ago, Clarkson coach Casey Jones said. At this point and time well do a good scout on them. Theyll be a good opponent. Its a situation where as long as we play like who we are, and to our capabilities, it will be good series.
Clarkson started off strong against Union (17-12-5, 10-8-4), but the Dutchmen scored first on a power-play shot from Wayne Simpson at 17 minutes, 13 seconds of the opening period.
I thought we could have gotten (a goal) in the first there, Jones said. We had a lot of chances.
Kevin Sullivan scored two straight goals to give the Dutchmen a 3-0 edge. He struck first at 5:27 of the second period and then scored a power-play goal at 6:24 of the third. Unions final goal came from Josh Jooris at 17:20 of the third period.
Clarkson lost leading scorer Allan McPherson to an injury but the extent is not known at this time.

In a Nutshell
It's our Midwestern roots and values that keep us grounded today. Our right-sized growth strategy makes us large enough to deliver on the big jobs but keeps us small enough to create custom solutions based on unique client need. Our commitment to the people, the processes and state-of-the-art technology means that we work a little harder every day to deliver beyond expectations…and don't stop until we succeed.
Our Culture
We work hard. We really do. But to make sure that we don't take ourselves too seriously, our headquarters' team includes two four-legged friends: Ms. Kaiya and Mr. Kasper. These personality-filled Samoyeds (whose parents also work here!) nudge us to take breaks and remind us that treats are absolutely essential to a happy workday.
Our Company DNA
This might sound strange to some, but we don't focus on "winning." Instead, we concentrate on the longer view, namely, creating real value. Our success, then, is a welcome by-product of our DNA. You could say this perspective is what makes BlueWater BlueWater. This value-driven mentality not only shows up every day in the way we approach our client relationships, but also in the way we value our team members.

On Tuesday I wrote about Fire newbie Greg Cochrane filling in admirably for veteran left back Gonzalo Segares during his club debut in Sunday's 1-1 draw with New York. You can't always fit every good quote into a story so without just throwing them all away, I decided to include them here...
JC: How has getting time in the CONCACAF Champions League with LA Galaxy so early in your career helped you?
GC: When you're going down to other countries you're playing in hostile environments where the fans throw stuff at you. From that point of view, I also got to see a lot of different styles – Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador – every country has their own flavor and I was able to pick up a lot of different stuff from those games, try to get better and keep improving
JC: When Mike Magee joined the Fire last year, he said playing with the likes of Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and David Beckham everyday gave him a certain confidence. Would you agree?
GC: Definitely. Training with those guys every day, Robbie and Landon and Omar Gonzalez are on national teams. They're the best in their countries and are top class players. You learn so much from them and so when you come to other teams, it gives you confidence to keep doing what you're doing.
JC: As a left back, who do you model your game after most?
GC: Right now my two favorites are Leighton Baines for Everton and Jordi Alba for Barcelona. They're not the biggest of guys and neither am I but when you see guys like that succeeding at the highest level, you know you can do it too. Jordi at Barcelona is busing all over the field and Baines is one of the best left foots in the world serving a ball. I try to emulate both of them.
JC: How difficult would you describe the past few weeks, joining a new team and having to move to a new city all while trying to earn your spot in the team?
GC: It's been a fun experience. I try to take eeverything and put it in a good light. It was nice that the Fire were coming out to LA the first week so I didn't have to rush to put anything into storage. It gave me a couple days to process the fact that I was traded and meet up with the team. Here, you're in the hotels and you don't have a permanent residence yet – that's part is frustrating. It's fun, I've enjoyed it so far – all the guys are real welcoming. It's good to feel welcomed right away – it makes you feel like you can play like yourself and be yourself.

On playing his first game at Toyota Park
The vital information on your 2014 Chicago Fire ahead of Sunday's home opener vs. New York Red Bulls...
Tickets still available for Opening Day, Sunday at 2pm CT vs. New York! Click here!
The Chicago Fire Mobile App has undergone another makeover with some great new enhancements for Matchday! Check out the Top 5 below and make sure to use them for Sunday's Season Opener!
1) Ticket Account Manager
Off the pitch, some of the biggest news this season has been the introduction of the Season Ticket Holder card. As Fire Sr. Vice President Mike Ernst best said in the New Season Ticket Card FAQ, "it's all about providing convenience for our supporters."
To build on that convenience, the Chicago Fire Mobile App powered by Cricket Wireless now allows fans access to their Ticket Account Manager. Once you enter your username and password, check the box to remember your login and easily manage your tickets, scan them at the gate at Toyota Park, or email them to a friend.
On iOS devices, users can even send their tickets to Passbook.
2) Updated Stadium Map
This particular feature is not new to the mobile app, but it has been completely overhauled to provide a better in-stadium experience for users. The interactive stadium map of Toyota Park allows fans to quickly view various seat locations around the stadium, concession stands, and more.
3) Concession Information
We believe fans shouldn't have to miss out on any of the action while they are in their seats. Instead of spending time walking around the concourse trying to find a hot dog (Chicago style, of course) or a domestic draft for $2 beer night, fans can pull up all of Toyota Park's concession menu's on their mobile app to quickly locate their choice of food or drink. The app lists out the locations of each concession stand and its full menu with pricing.
4) Supporter Songs Catalog
One of the greatest sights and sounds in soccer is seeing and hearing thousands of supporters chanting songs to cheer on the team on the field. There are plenty of well-known chants that fans are used to hearing every matchday. Check out the Supporter Songs feature to familiarize yourself with both Section 8 and Sector Latino's catalog of tunes.
5) VOTE for Man of the Match
Last, but certainly not least, the Mobile App now allows fans to cast their vote for the Fire's Man of the Match. Have your say on who you think the team's top performer was over the course of 90 minutes and stay tuned after the final whistle to see which player is named MOTM. The player with the most votes will be announced as MOTM in-stadium, on My50/TWC, and on Chicago Fire social media.
(Ticket Account Manager and MOTM voting coming soon for Android). Download the Fire mobile app via iTunes and Google Play!
After picking up a fantastic point in Portland, the Fire head back to Chicago to face the New York Red Bulls in the team's home opener Sunday afternoon (1:30pm CT on My50/TWCSWI).
The Men in Red will be looking to avenge the 5-2 season-ending defeat at Red Bull Arena last season - a result that kept the Fire out of the Playoffs. Here are a few things to keep an eye on from a tactical perspective.
Possible changes on outside - will Sega be fit to play?
After picking up a knock against Portland, Fire stalwart Gonzalo Segares is currently listed as questionable on the Athletico Injury Report with an ankle sprain for Sunday's game. In his possible absence, the Fire coaching staff have a big decision to make.
On the one hand, the team could slot Hunter Jumper into a position he played in sparingly last year, famously scoring the winning goal against Kansas City in August and serving up an assist against the Red Bulls early last year. Reading into Frank Yallop's lineup selections for the first two matches, a more likely scenario would be bringing newly acquired left back Greg Cochrane into the back line.
Cochrane was on the bench for the season opener and brings more experience than Jumper, playing in 12 games for the Galaxy last season. Whoever the starter is on Sunday will have to keep pace with the tricky Lloyd Sam on the Red Bulls right side. New York's strikers also have a tendency to drift wide, opening up space for midfielders, which can result in 2v1 situations for the outside back to deal with.
As a unit, the Fire defenders had a much more composed match against Portland last week in comparison to the season opener and against a high powered attack like New York's, the coaching staff will be focusing on making this possible change to the back line as smooth a transition as possible.
Continuing the no target striker formation - with a focus on retaining possession in the attack
Last week, the Fire's no target striker formation worked quite well, with the team not letting one player get isolated in the attack. That being said, the team did play many long balls and empathized picking up second balls.
Against New York, a similar target-less striker formation is an attractive option, but the focus must shift from long balls to more possession in the attack. The Fire were able to do this at times against Portland, with Quincy Amarikwa linking well and getting behind the Timbers defense on numerous occasions.
New York relies too much on Dax McCarty to break up opposing team's attacks and if the Fire can get players in between him and the defense, it can be very beneficial. In the Red Bulls last game, the Rapids were able to play through McCarty a number of times but didn't have enough players in support to take advantage. If the Fire can continue to keep the attacking players narrow and close to each other like they did against Portland, they will certainly create chances.
Being wary of forwards peeling off - not allowing the Red Bulls strikers easy tap-ins
Ball watching can be one of the most frustrating things for coaches and fans to witness on the field. Though exclaiming that a defender should be watching his man and not the ball is easier in theory than practice, too many soft goals are given up each season because of it.
In the games involving both the Fire and the Red Bulls last weekend, cases of ball watching occurred, with much different results for each club. In Portland, Timbers attacker Gaston Fernandez was able to slip into the box unnoticed by a number of Fire defenders who only saw him when it was too late: after Sean Johnson parried the ball into the striker's path resulting in an easy finish (see below).
In New York, Thierry Henry, the master of slipping away from defenders, did it again against the Rapids and headed home the lone Red Bulls goal (see below).
The Fire must continue to focus on not letting players like Henry peel away on the back post and lurk unmarked.
Prediction: The Fire's good home form from last season continues over to 2014. 1-0 Fire with a goal from Mike Magee. (Steve's record in 2014: 1-1)

WATCH: Shipp, Joya preview Sunday's match vs. Red Bull
Select shots from this afternoon's Giordano's Pizza Partnership Kickoff.
One took over the defending continental champions. Despite his 15 trophies as a manager, there were questions about how much better he could make them. Two-thirds through the season, he's taken the champions to a new level of excellence.
Another replaced a legend in taking over the league champs. His experience and consistency made him a safe choice, but how would he lead the club into a new generation? Today the team sits seven places out of first.
The third assumed leadership of a historically successful club dealing with a few tough years. Fans wondered what would come next as contracts turned over and a new crop of youngsters presented themselves. With five coaching trophies, he's highly knowledgeable with regards to the competition and what works in the league, but fans eagerly wait to see how he'll plot the path forwards.
Which of the above new coaches came to the Fire? If you separated Frank Yallop from Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich and David Moyes at Manchester United, good for you.
Coaching changes are so commonplace that they're not in and of themselves particularly remarkable. In the Barclay's Premier League so far in the 2013-2014 season, already five managers have been fired; that's on top of the six managers who left clubs before the season already started. That means more than half the teams changed managers this year.
And in general with sports, personnel changeover is as much a part of the grind as winning and losing. It's as much if not more common in the current adolescent stage of MLS, where parity dominates, new teams are forthcoming, and personnel rules and financial regulation necessitate almost constant player movement.
But what do the changes mean for the Fire?
This year is a new beginning. Even though the ownership and front office maintain a steadfast commitment to the club's history and traditions, the technical staff was overhauled leading into the 2014 season. MLS legend Frank Yallop replaced Fire legend Frank Klopas. He brought C.J. Brown, another Fire legend, along with, and added assistant coach Clint Mathis on top.
And the change touched the players as well. Some consistent starters from seasons past, like Austin Berry and Jalil Anibaba, are gone. Led by Harry Shipp and Benji Joya, a new crop of youngsters are fighting veterans for their places. Meanwhile, except for Sean Johnson in goal, Jeff Larentowicz in the middle, and the reigning MVP Mike Magee (whenever he's back fit) up top, every place in the side is up for grabs.
Things change, okay, but this is now a totally different Fire team than the one we've seen the past few years. New players and new management means a new culture, new approaches both on and off the field. A 4-1-4-1 formation is in the works. But the gutsy 10-man point in Portland and loss at Chivas showed that old habits take time to correct.
Even though the Fire were frustrated to miss the playoffs a few times in recent years, they have the league MVP and enough player talent on paper to threaten the top teams in MLS. Yet by overhauling the technical staff, the Fire signaled a loftier statement: Being mediocre is not good enough, no matter how much successful history the club has.
Without going into huge detail about the strategic plans, the Fire players have said that this preseason felt different, that Yallop was fostering a different environment than Klopas's.
It's important because whether we like it or not, this season will be defined by the changes the Fire made this offseason. Change is here.
The questions though: How much do you change, and how much do you keep? What is actually new? How exactly do you convey and impose a plan without sacrificing whatever was working before? What effect can a plan even have if there are many unpredictable and external issues?
It doesn't look like Yallop is going to blow everyone away with some avant garde tactical system. Although the lineups have changed, in the first two games we saw tactical variations of familiar set ups, even if the advertised 4-1-4-1 was never totally deployed. We saw a cautious balance between MLS veterans and excited young guns.
In the media, we've seen a focus on working hard and coming together as a team - like the tactics and team selection, it's a communications strategy that isn't going to draw too much attention.
But don't let the low key approach fool you. Yallop's project with the Fire is massive. Whether he ends up tearing through the league like Guardiola, or taking a few steps back, like Moyes, certainly Yallop's plan must be taken seriously for the long term. Change might be part of the game, but plans in this game only work when they're given time to come to.

Shop Zipp by category
It's no mystery why Zipp dominates the high-end wheel market. Their commitment to innovation is unmatched, and their engineering is flat-out brilliant. Using techniques and materials utilized by the aerospace industry, Zipp goes beyond the limitations of conventional carbon fiber hollow molding. When Zipp introduced their Inversion Composite Technology (ICT) rims in 2001, the praise couldn't have been louder or clearer. No dissension could be found: never before had a wheelset been so light, so reliable, so flat-out fast. Combine this critical response with a litany of impressive race results (who could forget Rik Verbrugge riding Zipp 909's to his victory in the 2001 Giro d'Italia Prologue at an average speed of 36.5mph?), Zipp had every excuse for resting on their laurels. But in typical fashion, Zipp kept bullying the limits of performance. In 2002 they set the new standard for clincher rim performance with m2cm co-molding technology, they manufactured the lightest, most-precise hubset in the industry, and they released the lightest wheelset ever made -- the 960g Z3 303 tubular wheelset. For 2003 the innovation didn't let up. Zipp unveiled their new Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control disc wheel skins to make the world's fastest wheel even faster. And their VcLc technology improves the ride quality and overall performance of their 303 and 404 wheelsets. The basic construction of Zipp's rims has remained the same for 2003. Using ICT, their rims are built with a continuous band of unbroken radial fibers. This radial monocoque forms the structural core of the wheel, and is responsible for not only an increase in lateral stiffness (20% greater than any other wheel made), but also affords a significant increase in strength and reduction of weight over any other wheelset. These purely radial fibers form the basis for Zipp's highly directional fiber system, which orients fibers in key directions relative to the radial layer of fiber. In fact, fiber orientation is so specific that woven fabric is used exclusively in load-bearing area such as the spoke nipple seat. This woven fiber combats high stress due to rim drilling, and significantly increases toughness and durability with no weight penalty. Zipp uses ICT to manufacture rims in 38mm, 40mm, and 58mm depths. These rims are the backbone of the premier wheelsets money can buy: the 303 Mid-V, the 404 Deep-V, and the 909 disc. Zipp learned unexpected lessons during the R&D of the ICT process. It appeared that different laminate designs yielded varying lateral stiffness measurements and differing vertical compliance and resonant frequencies within identical rim shapes. Zipp took this data and worked in conjunction with the 3M Advanced Polymers Division to harness these laminate properties. By specifically placing constrained visco-elastic elements within the carbon laminate, it allows the rim to filter out high-frequency road shock while remaining equally laterally stiff. In short, under heavy vertical loads and deflection the constrained layer actually becomes slightly displaced by the carbon sidewalls, utilizing its viscous properties to rapidly spread out shock loads while dissipating large inputs into fractional amounts of heat. This new VcLc rim is half the weight and has twice the stiffness of an aluminum rim, but it has a dramatically lower natural frequency when subjected to vertical inputs. Beyond this increase in comfort, the rim improves cornering efficiency by allowing the tire contact patch to remain more consistent over varying road conditions. Zipp's research also proved that this contact patch consistency decreases rolling resistance. There's more to the Zipp story than just ICT and VcLc. All Zipp rims feature a regenerative airfoil shape -- the classic bulge in the sidewall of the rim. This shape is so special because it utilizes the airflow as it separates off the surface of the tire and reintegrates the air back into the flow. The result is that incoming airflow "sees" the rim and tire as being smoother and more curved than it actually is. The separated airflow forms a bubble around which incoming air flows, allowing the Zipp rim to gently curve into an optimized trailing edge resulting in the smallest turbulent wake and lowest drag of any deep-section rim. You'll also experience a reduction in crosswind drag as the flow circulates around the body more easily.

CUMBERLAND – Maria Rosa Takuma opened her contracting firm, Harmony Design and Construction, in Cumberland but has since relocated to Providence because there weren't as many programs for minority businesses in town than there were in the capital city.
"We need your help, governor," Takuma said to Gov. Lincoln Chafee, who, along with the RI Economic Development Corp. (EDC), had brought two-dozen small business owners from the town together with representatives from a variety of state and federal agencies to the Hayden Library on Tuesday to let them know what kinds of help are available to help them operate or expand their businesses.
"We need your help to bring money so our mayor can be able to offer more programs for us," she said. If there were more programs to help people repair and renovate their homes, she explained, that would mean more work for contractors and builders.
Another minority business owner, Alfonso Acevedo of American News En Espanol, wondered whether minority business owners looking for loan guarantees or other services are being crowded out "if the rich people and big businesses are destroying the credibility of the EDC, an apparent reference to the $75 million loan guarantee granted to former Red Sox star Curt Schilling for his ill-fated 38 Studios project.
"Certainly there is no discrimination in any of the programs," Chafee responded, "we're absolutely dedicated to that – to make sure we are reaching out to everybody and it's a fair, level playing field. The more we can integrate English-speaking and Spanish-speaking businesses, that is good for our state."
Joining Chafee and a number of EDC officials at the early morning session were Charles Fogarty, director of the Department of Labor and Training; John Gregory, President of the Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce; Leslie Taito, director of the Office of Regulatory Reform; Mark Hayward, RI district director of the U.S. Small Business Administration; Henry "Bud" Violet of the Ocean State Small Business Development Authority and Doug Jobling, regional director of the RI Small Business Development Center.
State Rep. Mia Ackerman used the forum to press for help for businesses in Cumberland and Lincoln who have been hurt by the sudden closing of the Manville Hill Road Bridge that connects the two communities.
Because of the lengthy bridge repairs, Ackerman said, "some small businesses are suffering, some are on the brink of closing down, She wondered what type of emergency financial relief might be available to them to prevent them from having to shut their doors.
SBA's Hayward told Chafee "we went through this with the (Conant Street) Pawtucket bridge. Unfortunately, this is not considered to be a natural disaster and would not be eligible under that. Perhaps we could get together with the RI Emergency Management Agency to see whether or not any economic injury is eligible under the disaster program.
He said the business owners should get with the RI Small Business Development Center.
Sean Esten, EDC's managing director of finance, urged affected businesses to meet with the EDC, "each one is going to have a unique need in terms of how it is impacting their businesses. He suggested that one of EDC's loan programs could help them "bridge the time until the bridge is back in place."
"This is a time-sensitive issue," Ackerman told The Times at the end of the session. "I understand that the infrastructure will get done when it gets done. But in the meantime, we have businesses that are going out of business. We can't wait for the bridge to re-open, we have to figure out what kind of relief we can give to the businesses to keep them going."
Mayor Daniel McKee said events like the one on Tuesday, "only help if people get helped. We've had these before, so people have talked about this, but there needs to be some level of action, that's what we need to measure."
"What we want to communicate is that there are good programs," Chafee said, "and we have pro-active people; that's the kind of attitude we want to foster."
The chamber of commerce's Gregory said, "Small businesses are just so busy, that to have the opportunity to be in a room for two hours and find out about a lot of stuff – whether it is loan programs or business plans, renewable energy, all those things, we think has a value."

Labor Socks Pink
by Baby Be Mine Maternity (1 pair)
Regular price: $9.99
Thank Baby Be Mine for making the perfect baby shower gift. Labor Socks are one pair of soft white ankle socks with non-skid bottoms that read "Ready. Set. Push!" to inspire mom on her labor day. A baby shower gift hit.
The one thing many women wish they had at the hospital with them before and after delivery are warm socks. Slippers are hard to keep on your feet when your legs are in stirrups or you're moving around in various birth positions. Plus, hospital floors are cold.
Add a little bit of comfort and warmth to her labor and delivery with these special socks.
Baby Be Mine Labor Socks are made with 80% cotton, 15 % spandex, 5% elastic. Machine washable. Line dry; do not bleach.
One size fits most (sizes 6-10).
Baby Be Mine Maternity came together officially in 2005. Like many first-time mothers who give birth in the hospital, Helen and Isabelle disliked the hospital gowns they wore during labor, delivery and recovery. They realized they could fashion a solution for new mothers that would vastly improve their birth experiences. Thus, Gownies were born. Helen and Isabelle continue to create and manufacture more solutions, supports and accessories for that special and unique moment of a woman's life: birth and postpartum. Baby Be Mine Maternity celebrates the transition from woman to mother. Take them along for your journey!

Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The authors presented a well designed and executed phase III randomized trial. These results have really dropped a bombshell. Previous data demonstrated a clear survival benefit with PCI in LD SCLC by about 5%. Outcomes for therapy in this disease have been fairly dismal, and ED SCLC has an awful prognosis. This trial showed a doubling of overall survival with a therapy that (at least in the field of oncology) is cheap, safe, and easy to deliver. In fact, toxicities may even be reduced beyond the results described in this study by using more protracted radiation schedules. 20 Gy in 5 fractions is a little more aggressive than most American clinicians would employ because of the risk of late effects. This trial should change the standard of care in this disease, and the authors are correct when they conclude that patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer should routinely receive PCI.

Product Test: Sky Bat and Ball Set
Today's product is the Sky Ball and Bat. A hyper charged bat that promises to hit the specially designed ball up to 300 feet. You can buy it at most toy and big box retail stores for around $15.
Our tester, Cameron was happy to help with this test and he has quite a swing. Our tester really liked the lightweight bat and super cool ball. The secret to the bouncy ball is the fact that it is filled with helium and pressurized air. It promises you can hit the ball up to 300 feet! The ball is so squishy that it doesn't hurt like other balls might. Cameron gave this two thumbs up.

Although I don't necessarily care much for Tom Hanks, I did enjoy that movie. I especially liked Michael Clarke Duncan's part in the movie (the big black prisoner d00d), I thought his character's demeanor gave an interesting counter-balance to the general assumptions made by the guards.
A very good movie.

Data dictionary quiz question
This is a totally unfair quiz question (for anyone who isn't intimately acquainted with the Oracle data dictionary views). There, I've warned you. I would have got this one wrong, myself.
Which of the following queries (if any) will run without error?
SELECT * FROM dba_tab_privs WHERE owner = 'SCOTT'; SELECT * FROM all_tab_privs WHERE owner = 'SCOTT'; SELECT * FROM user_tab_privs WHERE owner = 'SCOTT';
Now, don't go and try running these in your database until after you've written down what you think the answers are. That would be cheating :)
Ok, now to break the suspense for all the other readers (both of you), who couldn't be bothered testing it out for yourself.
Statement 1. The query on DBA_TAB_PRIVS will succeed – assuming you have the necessary privileges on the DBA* views. This view does include the column OWNER.
Statement 3. The query on USER_TAB_PRIVS, unlike what I and several others might assume, will succeed. Many data dictionary views, such as USER_TABLES, omit the OWNER column – which makes sense, since it is expected that it will be simply the currently-logged-in user. But for user_tab_privs, this column is provided, for good reason – because the table you have a privilege on may very well be owned by another schema.
Statement 2. The query on ALL_TAB_PRIVS, in order to be consistent with DBA_TAB_PRIVS and USER_TAB_PRIVS, should have the OWNER column, by rights. But, just to make things interesting, the column is called TABLE_SCHEMA instead. So, my query would fail.
Mette Stephansen permalink
1 & 2 will do OK
I'm pretty certain that the column isn't OWNER in those views. probably is TABLE_OWNER.. I'll have to go look now.
Ah Ha! Wouldn't have expected that. You should take up a job writing OCP questions :)
I was totally wrong. Had to do a DESC to find out why. Thanks for reminding me that I don't know Oracle as well as I think I do.
Didn't get that. Its about time they actually deprecated some of of those views and moved to an INFORMATION_SCHEMA model and made it all a bit more consistent.
Oh, and your assumptions should specify that the user has select access to DBA_TAB_PRIVS :)

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - There's a buzz about NASCAR and the season-opening Daytona 500 that has nothing to do with an exploding jet dryer or a well-timed tweet from a driver.
The new Gen-6 race car makes its long-awaited debut at Daytona International Speedway, and the success of the 2013 season could depend heavily on its performance. Already, things look good. After all, NASCAR's most popular driver has given the Gen-6 a ringing endorsement.
"This sport is going to be revolutionized again with this car," Dale Earnhardt Jr. said after one of his first full test sessions in the car.
That's the shot in the arm NASCAR is looking for after a 2012 season that saw the quality of the racing criticized at times. Long green-flag runs and a lack of cautions frustrated fans, and that irritated drivers who openly wondered if fans were more interested in wrecking than they were in racing.
Behind the scenes, NASCAR was working hard on a new car that would replace the "Car of Tomorrow" after six years, and hopefully improve the on-track product. It was welcome news to Earnhardt, who won 17 races in the "old" car but only two after the CoT was introduced during the 2007 season.
"I struggled with the old car," he said. "I think the rest of the car is definitely a step back toward the old, original car we used to have. I think that's going to benefit me in certain areas. The car is really exciting. I'm looking forward to it."
So is NASCAR, which has worked with manufacturers and teams on both the look of the car and how it drives. The result is a car that resembles what the automakers sell in the showroom and a design that allows fans to tell if the car is a Chevrolet, Ford or Toyota. And just in case a fan wasn't that car savvy, the drivers' names and the manufacturer logo will all be on the windshield this year as NASCAR attempts to make the car as big a star as the driver.
The car's debut comes Saturday night at Daytona in the Sprint Unlimited exhibition race, where fans can vote on various elements of the race format. It has created interest in Speedweeks, which last year were remembered most for Juan Pablo crashing into a jet dryer loaded with fuel and Brad Keselowski tweeting about it during the lengthy delay to put out the fire and repair the charred track.
The fireball put the Daytona 500 in the mainstream spotlight, but the racing that followed failed to entertain a wider audience.
Keselowski was thrust onto the national stage with his well-timed tweets and he rode the wave all the way to his first Sprint Cup title. The win over five-time champion Jimmie Johnson was a breakthrough for Keselowski, who grabbed team owner Roger Penske his first title and proved the odd pairing of driver and owner had blossomed into an elite tandem.
Now everyone gets to see what Keselowski will do for an encore. NASCAR has forbidden him from using his phone in his car, and he'll be hard pressed to outdo his beer-chugging live television interview minutes after clinching the championship.
Even harder will be defending his title as the Penske Racing organization left Dodge at the end of the year and goes into this season as a Ford team. Penske is no longer building its own engines, and will now get them from Roush Yates as a customer of Ford's flagship team.
"The move has gone very well so far," said Penske President Tim Cindric. "It's been a lot of work, but the relationship with Roush, I believe they'd say the same thing, is working well on both sides and we've got a lot of reason to believe we'll have a very good year."
Keselowski will have a new teammate in Joey Logano, who was replaced at Joe Gibbs Racing by Matt Kenseth in the biggest driver move of the year. Kenseth left Roush Fenway Racing, where he'd spent his entire career, to join Gibbs and its volatile driver lineup of Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin.
Hamlin was a title contender through the halfway point of the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup title, but he stumbled at Martinsville with a mechanical failure and never recovered. Busch missed the Chase and declared 2012 "the absolute worst year of my career" after winning just one race across NASCAR's three national series.

Sample Application Overview
Local Navigation
Featured classes
This class provides a central LocationPicker object to store individual location pickers (such as GPSLocationPicker and MapsLocationPicker) in. All location pickers are added to the screen because they are extensions of the PopupScreen class.
LocationPicker also provides the functionality to register location pickers as global LocationPicker objects, allowing any application on the BlackBerry® device to access them. The class has two nested interfaces, LocationPicker.Picker and LocationPicker.Listener. For more information, see Featured interfaces.
The sample application is designed to showcase the LocationPicker class, and its nested interfaces. It creates an array of LocationPicker.Picker objects, then adds them to the LocationPicker object and pushes that object to the screen.
This class represents a landmark, or a known location. A LocationPicker.Picker object can contain a Landmark, which stores information about the name and coordinates of a location.
The sample application creates an array of Landmark objects to populate a SuggestedLocationPicker.

Talent Still Available… Especially At Guard
Now that the draft has come to pass, it is time to sort through the remains and to find perhaps a diamond in the rough.
Some undrafted free agents include:
Sherron Collins – Bringing in this guy is a no brainer in my opinion. I am sure questions about his conditioning and nagging injuries during pre-draft workouts hurt him, but look no further than how he competed at Kansas to justify giving him a shot.
Jon Scheyer – In all honesty, I like Scheyer more than I like Rautins. Both are similar players, but to me, Scheyer is the better player, even if Rautins is the better pure shooter. Scheyer would be perfect for this team.
Brian Zoubek – The Knicks like his size and his ability to clog the lanes and rebound. He can find a home here in NY if he is willing to do dirty work and rebound.
Jerome Randle
Mikhail Torrance
Sylven Landesberg
Feel free to post other UDFAs in this thread.
As for the picks actually made, I guess we have to give these guys a shot, right? But unless I am missing something, isn't Fields another SF?
I have not reviwed the whole draft yet, but off the top of my head, I love what the Clippers (Aminu, Warren and Bledsoe), Spurs (James Anderson and Ryan Richards) and Celtics did. I also like what the Wizards did with their picks.
Also, I think Ryan Gomes and Babbitt will have better years than Martell Webster next year. Scratched my head on that one by the Wolves.

California State University officials to speak during Sunday services on Feb. 24 at 22 African American churches in Los Angeles Area
Third annual CSU Super Sunday to reach more than 80,000 in Northern and Southern California churches combined
(February 12, 2008) – California State University officials will bring the college message to thousands of prospective students and their families during the Third Annual CSU Super Sunday. The event will take place at 22 African American churches in the Los Angeles Area on Sunday, February 24.
CSU presidents, trustees, the chancellor, and other officials will address the congregations to engage the community by encouraging students to go to college.
"At Super Sunday, thousands of students and their families learn that planning for college starts in the sixth grade. We hope to make communities aware of the steps that students need to complete each year to get to college," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "We are pleased to say that these efforts are paying off. In recent years we have noticed an increase in African American applications and enrollment. In Fall 2007, African American enrollment increased by 6.5 percent at CSU campuses."
Chancellor Reed will speak at 8 a.m. at West Angeles Cathedral and at noon at First AME Church, while other officials and CSU presidents will speak at other churches in the region (see list of churches and speakers below).
Following the services, CSU outreach staff and church education counselors will provide information about college applications and financial aid. Students will also be introduced to CSU Mentor, the website that prospective students use to find information and apply to a CSU.
Other outreach efforts to be conducted by the CSU with the African American churches include financial aid workshops, and expanded distribution of college materials to sixth-12th grade students and their parents. The CSU has also developed a how-to guide for church educational advisers who work directly with families within these communities.
One of the informational pieces that will be distributed during Super Sunday is the "How to Get to College" poster. The poster provides middle and high school students and their parents step-by-step information regarding staying on the path to college, such as the classes they need to take, the importance of good grades, and how to apply for financial aid.

Brooks, ME (NEWS CENTER)-- A retired Maine Game Warden has written a riotous memoir of his days in the field. "Suddenly, The Cider Didn't Taste So Good," is a compilation of short stories by John Ford.
"I knew every day when I put my uniform on or every night when I put my uniform on that it was going to be like a movie," Ford told NEWS CENTER. He served on the Maine Warden Service from 1970-1990. Before joining the wardens, he was in the Air Force. After he left, he was elected Sheriff of Waldo County.
"I tell it like I saw it," Ford says of his book. He says he went to work with a brass compass, a thirty-eight revolver and a unique perspective. A few times, he was in life-threatening situations, but the book focuses on the more humorous adventures. They are told in a self-deprecating way with the warden often getting outsmarted by his adversaries.
The title comes from his work trying to stop some perspective poachers. They had piled apples near a tree stand with the idea of illegally shooting deer which came to feed. He would foil them by dropping by daily to urinate on the apples, his scent scaring the deer away.
Eventually, he dropped by their camp to see how their hunting season was going. The group was drinking and offered him a beer. He said he couldn't drink alcohol on duty so they offered him apple cider.
After a while, they told him they had made the cider from a pile of apples they found in the woods. His reaction became the name of his future book.
Ribald stories like this have caused more than a few laughs in the Maine's outdoor community and Ford is becoming a popular speaker at author venues around the state. His stories are quick, fun and easy reading. He will appear at the Portland Public Library on May 30.
