Select shots from the Fire's win over the Rapids

The Chicago Fire's Chris Rolfe, Logan Pause and Frank Klopas took part in U.S. Soccer's Centennial celebration and World Cup qualifying viewing party Tuesday night at Chicago's Grant Park.
Check out photos from the event below:
After a rousing comeback against Portland last time out in the league, the Fire start a busy period Wednesday night against a tricky Colorado Rapids team (LIVE 7pm CT on My50) who just their six-game unbeaten streak snapped at the weekend by San Jose Earthquakes. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective:
Exposing the Rapids center backs: targeting Drew Moor and Marvell Wynne
Colorado's usual starting pair at the center of the defense is Shane O'Neill and Drew Moor but with the Irish-born youngster in Turkey with the US U-20 team, right back Marvell Wynne has slotted into the middle.
FIRE vs. RAPIDS: Tickets Still Available
Against San Jose last week, this pairing had a lot of trouble, especially when the Quakes attacking players separated and isolated the center backs.
The movement of Rolfe and Magee, both very mobile strikers, could open up the Colorado defense. If the Fire's attacking pair can draw Moor/Wynne out, it can lead to space being created behind them, something San Jose did well last weekend.
Keeping an eye on Deshorn Brown - the rookie has 4 assists this season
Similar to my thoughts a few weeks ago about D.C. rookie Kyle Porter, Deshorn Brown has caught my eye for Colorado this season.
Playing on the left of a front three he's dangerous and a good supplier of the ball for striker Edson Buddle. Much of Colorado's chances in the past few matches have come from Brown's side.
Larentowicz, Duka Preview Colorado
The Rapids will be without Atiba Harris after his red against San Jose last week which puts even more emphasis on Brown to step up in the Kittitian's absence.
Right-sided players Jalil Anibaba and Patrick Nyarko will need to be very wary of the rookie on Wednesday night.
Fire squad rotation - my case in for it
The Men in Red have a tough stretch of 4 games in 11 days and it would be very demanding on the players to try and stick with the same starting XI for all four because of a risk of burnout.
A more likely approach would be one of steady and not drastic rotation meaning making a few changes each match and not starting a completely different team. This is of course assuming the team doesn't pick up any injuries or suspensions during this stretch.
READ: Nyarko says next eight day stretch is "crunch time"
Giving a few players a break Wednesday night with one eye on the tough away Eastern Conference match against Columbus on Saturday might be a worthwhile policy for head coach Frank Klopas.
Fire squad rotation - my case against
Something fans have criticized coach Klopas for is sticking to a regular starting XI and not making too many changes from game to game.
That being said, the team is currently unbeaten in four games and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The last 20 minutes against Portland last weekend was the team's best spell all season and if they can continue that form the next few weeks could see us in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals and moving closer to the MLS Cup playoff positions in the East.
With the back line finally stable and the Mike Magee/Chris Rolfe partnership starting to really gel, there is a strong case for coach Klopas to stick with the same XI during this run of games.

It's simple really: #MakeMagee an #MLSAllStar.
Last year we here at Always on the Inside put our eggs in one basket when it came to #MLSAllStar voting by getting behind talisman winger Patrick Nyarko.
Stealing the Chicago White Sox idea of #TakeJake, (a ploy to get pitcher Jake Peavy to Major League Baseball's All-Star Game), we decided to push the #PickPat hashtag on Twitter. Along with the social calls to action, we got CSN Chicago's Dave Kaplan in on the action, with him displaying this sign on Chicago Tribune Live.
In addition, I wrote open letters to All-Star head coach Ben Olsen and MLS Commissioner Don Garber appealing for them to #PickPat.
While there was a lot of nice buzz created, in the end, Pat wasn't chosen (though I still think he should have been).
Fast-forward to today when we find out that Mike Magee is second in fan voting among MLS midfielders (even though he's a forward in Chicago) to go to this year's All-Star Game vs. AS Roma at Kansas City's Sporting Park.
Though we came up short last year, I think its time we bring the hashtags back out and #MakeMagee an #MLSAllStar for the first time in his career...
His credentials...
- A career high of eight MLS goals in 12 games played this season (currently third most in MLS and definitely most for a "midfielder").
- 10 goals in 14 competitive matches in 2013.
- As of Tuesday, he's never not scored in a match for the Fire, tallying four in as many games since joining the Men in Red last month.
- A true leader on the field and player that has come into his own over his 11-year MLS career.
- While the MLS All-Star Game is a reward for achievement during the first half of the season, we'd be remisce if we didn't mention that Mike Magee has won two MLS Cups and two Supporters Shields over the course of his 11-year MLS career.
- #MikeMageeFacts can truly go national when he's included among the league's best players.

In what was widely considered one of the best results of 2012, the Chicago Fire earned a 3-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls at Toyota Park on June 17, 2012.
Patrick Nyarko got the scoring going early with a powering fourth minute header which left Red Bull defender Roy Miller on the ground in its wake.
The shortest man in the box would equalize just after halftime as Mehdi Ballouchy picked out Dax McCarthy at the back post to level things at 1-1 in the 55th minute.
The Fire should have gone back ahead nine minutes later. Making his home re-debut, Chris Rolfe slipped Dominic Oduro through the Red Bull back line and the Ghanaian hit a desperate sliding effor that Ryan Meara got a piece of but would trickle all the way over the line.
Despite the whole ball crossing the line, former Fire defender Wilman Conde slid to scoop it out of the net and referee Baldomero Toledo relied on his linesman who waved off the goal, sending Fire players into a bit of fury.
The Fire would rightfully go ahead four minutes later as Gonzalo Segares was fed into the box on the left and saw his first effort saved by Meara before emphatically slamming home the rebound, charging the home crowd up in the 68th minute.
Rolfe would ice the game 13 minutes later when a great piece of individual skill from Nyarko down the right eventually found the veteran Fire striker at the back post for a tap-in, giving the Fire a 3-1 win on Father's Day.
A smattering of the changes the Fire made in coming back from 2-0 down for the draw Saturday night [clears throat]: Chris Rolfe moved from up top to out left, Patrick Nyarko moved from out right to up top, Dilly Duka moved from the left to the right, Maicon Santos came in for Rolfe and moved up top, Nyarko moved out left, Sherjill MacDonald came on for Duka and went out left, Nyarko moved out right (completing his left-right-center trifecta), Daniel Paladini came on for Jeff Larentowitz.
And that's just the visible changes. Because what was just as apparent were the invisible changes: the change of mindset, the change of momentum, the change of attitude. Something changed in the Fire, something transformed from dejection into something like triumph - all of which you can see on Mike Magee's face after Paladini's equalizer, right about here:
"Tonight I about lost my mind, I'll admit it," Magee said after the match, referring to his spats with the ref and others that earned him the respect of every Fire fan watching (and a yellow card). "I was just yelling, showing emotion and trying to light a fire under whoever was looking."
But look also in the moments just before the game-tying freekick:
Forget the tired legs, forget the frustration of being down. Look at Jalil Anibaba, Nyarko, Alex, and Paladini all working together, throwing themselves around, eventually overcoming the Timber players on the far side and feeding Magee. Nothing represents Saturday's comeback as well as that image of Alex anticipating the ball squeezing up the line, hustling back from the Portland box, and sliding in, while at the same time Paladini, tracking the play, anticipates the result, hurries over to help Alex, saves the ball after his tackle from going out, and plays Anibaba, who plays Nyarko, who plays Magee.
The crowd goes wild.
For the third game in a row, Klopas' second half gambit worked. The game changed. It changed physically, in terms of where players were and what numbers on the scoreboard said, but it also changed intangibly, mentally, emotionally. It's becoming a pattern: most of the Fire's goals this season (6 of 11) have come late in the 82nd minute or later.
Part of that is preparation, is team togetherness, the kind of stuff coaches like to talk about. Klopas told reporters he talked over readiness with his subs: "'Listen, just be prepared to go in right from the start. Or when you get called on in the second half, your ability now to come in and influence the game, you have to be ready.'"
Or like Paladini said after the game: "It's one of those things where you have to be ready when your name's called upon – you either shy away from it or you step-up to the plate."
The good news for Paladini and the other subs is that with the team in the midst of a stretch of 11 games in 49 days, they'll definitely be getting more time to influence other games. As Logan Pause gets fit again, too, Klopas is going to have some interesting decisions to make in June.
After finally getting close to something resembling a consistent line-up, will Pause take his spot back from Alex? And what about the way the subs keep affecting games? Does Paladini deserve to start again? Can we keep expecting Klopas' late game changes to make the difference?
Select shots from the Fire's draw with the Portland Timbers
There was little question about what today's GIF was going to be.
Mike Magee made no mistake putting home his first MLS Fire goal, and we made no mistake making it and his celebration a GIF... Enjoy.
Buzz buzz buzz. Inside the Fire this week, if you put your ear real close, you could catch what you'd swear was a little optimism, a little sunshine, a little buzz. And goals! After breaking their goal drought late at RSL, the Fire added two new starters, cleaned up their first U.S. Open Cup game 2-0, and duplicated that score Sunday at home against DC United.
Last week I said that, like a developing chess game, this season is very much still developing an identity. It was obvious in the last 20 minutes of the RSL game, when the Klopas Gambit succeeded in providing the Fire more attacking options than we'd seen all year.
So when captain Logan Pause went down to a groin strain midweek, Klopas had a choice to make with his starting line-up against D.C. Continue with the blocky set up that's been stable but struggling or take advantage of the modicum of momentum and take a risk. He put an attacking player in for Pause, moved Jeff Larentowicz into Pause's old spot anchoring the midfield, and suddenly, right away on Sunday, the Fire had five attacking players coming at DC from unexpected directions. Patrick Nyarko and Joel Lindpere popped up centrally and combined with Rolfe and Magee who were moving between United's midfield and defensive lines, and Alex found himself running through in support.
After what was admittedly a fortunate first goal, though, and as the game progressed, Klopas found himself in an unfamiliar position. Here were the Fire, ahead, with five attack-minded players on the field. It didn't matter that they weren't exactly bossing the game. Eventually Daniel Paladidni came on to help lock down the result. It worked.
What was interesting was the refreshing feeling of closing out a game in the lead. There's something less stressful about being ahead and having the choice of continuing what's worked or moving to add structure and keep D.C. at bay. Compare that to the stressful, semi-desperate feeling of being behind and scrambling to find the right balance of attackers that can even the game without giving up any more goals.
Klopas balanced his team expertly. They remained dangerous, a feeling confirmed as the game concluded with Magee and Nyarko running into wide open spaces on counterattacks and keeping United pinned back (and eventually grabbing the clinching second goal). Meanwhile, D.C. never put together a few minutes of attack that made them look like they could get back into the game.
There's a lot to fear when you change too much in a team too quickly, especially when part of that change is removing a player like Pause, who for years has been a linchpin for the whole team's play. And yet the Fire capitalized on the buzz and instituted a change of attitude from the very beginning of the game yesterday, a change that resulted in the super important first goal.
At just five minutes into the game, look at how many Fire players are forward. Look at how central Nyarko is, and how far up Alex is. It's worth asking if, in the old set-up, either Pause of Larentowicz would ever be this far forward this early in the game. Yes this moment came from a Sean Johnson dead ball, so players were able to push up, but the example holds.
And so what if this set-up only led to a botched cross from Lindpere, but just three minutes later, D.C. gave the ball away and the Fire jumped on it. Alex got forward right away, combined with Lindpere out wide, and the winger drew the foul that led to the first goal.
The faint buzz you're starting to hear from Bridgeview isn't a roar, not yet anyway, but with a clearly different approach, an injection of new players and optimism, we're getting a lot closer to a Fire squad that will pick up points all over the league.

NBC announced on April 3 that Jay Leno will once again hand over the reins of NBC's Tonight Show — which he began hosting in 1992 — this time to Late Night's Jimmy Fallon. Leno says that after he signs off in February 2014, you'll find him in his garage. But it's more likely the car enthusiast will be back in front of a camera than under the hood of a classic Chevy.
One industry insider who knows Leno says two cable networks have already approached the comic about launching a new show after he leaves NBC. By that time, Leno will be 64 — considered over the hill for the 18- to 49-year-old viewers advertisers seek in late night. But in the wider TV landscape, where octogenarians such as Barbara Walters and Regis Philbin still hold jobs, he's practically a youngster.
Jay Leno will leave The Tonight Show (again) next spring. What's he doing after that? More stand-up, he tells The New York Times, but no TV — for now. "I've done this job for a long time and I really enjoy it," he tells the paper. "Would I do it again? Believe me, the phone's not ringing off the hook. It will be nice if people seem interested. But I'll let it sit where it is." Even if no one is calling right now (doubtful), it's hard to believe that Leno — who hasn't hinted at retirement since the Conan O'Brien Tonight Show succession plan was announced in 2004 — will be off our screens for too long. So what are his options? We weigh the possibilities... read more

Ken and Katie's voyages aboard Sand Dollar
Phuket - Chapter II
May 07, 2012
Dear Friends and Family,
After enjoying touring the west coast of Phuket Island, we returned to beautiful Chalong Bay in the southeast corner of the island and made it our base of operations. From there we were able to get several items taken care of on Sand Dollar, one of which was having a new awning/rain-catcher made. The girls that made it work in a loft above Rick's Surf Shop and did an outstanding job at a reasonable price. We also had our engine's starter and alternator overhauled by a local expert in Phuket Town. It was entertaining to watch him disassemble, clean and replace the worn out parts. We think he could have done it blind-folded.(A picture of his smiling face is included in the recent photos we've posted.) One evening Sand Dollar joined the crowd as the majority of boats in the anchorage steamed out and headed seaward, making for deeper water after an earthquake in Indonesia was rumored to have spawned a tsunami, which happily never materialized. We also made a couple of trips to small islands near Ao Chalong. Time passed pleasantly, with us enjoying Thai cuisine, visiting with fellow yachties at the funky Phuket Cruising Yacht Club, and occasionally renting a motorbike from Bei, a friendly and charming local woman, to tour the countryside. After our 60-day visa ran out, we sailed back to Langkawi Island, Malaysia. For the last week or so, we've been anchored in lovely Telaga Harbor (zoom in on #72 on the map). Sea-eagles cruise the anchorage, we can hear the hornbills cackling in the jungle, and the other day on shore, a monkey snuck up to a little convenience store and made off with a loaf of bread, with the shop-keeper in hot but futile pursuit. In a couple of days we will sail over to Rebak Island Marina to take advantage of its washing machines and fresh water in order to clean and prepare Sand Dollar for her five month hiatus. During the rainy season, she will be moored on the peaceful Killim river while we're gone (see #64 on the map). Another season of cruising has come to an end, but we are looking forward to returning to our home base in Florida once again.
Cheers! Ken and Katie

accessibility camp wins
Audio loops, making the Xbox Kinnect an assistive tool, tactile maps for public spaces, iPhone optical character recognition, and shapes vs. colors in web design were just a few topics of the great exchange at the second Accessibility Camp Seattle, held at Seattle Public Library June 2 and 3. The open conference brought disability software developers, advocates, assistive technology users and others to learn and work on tools and digital inclusion strategies. The conference was sponsored by library, Microsoft Accessibility, Speak to Me, UW Do-IT, LiveScribe Education and TechSmith. See more on their Facebook or Twitter at @a11ysea and on the conference web site, here. use your skills in new city budget simulation The City of Seattle launched an online budget simulation to help residents better understand City budget challenges. This simulation is part of the City's commitment to make the budget process more transparent and accessible to the public. The web-based application gives users the opportunity to address the constraints and tradeoffs facing city policymakers as they balance the budget. The mayor and Council have the most discretion over operating expenditures associated with the General Fund, which pays for services such as police, fire, parks and libraries. By law, the City must adopt balanced budgets. "This budget simulation is a new way for the City to engage the public as we address a projected $32 million shortfall," said McGinn. "This builds on our efforts to make government accessible to everyone, like launching data.seattle.gov, streamlining our website and holding town halls across the city. It's a challenge to put together a budget that reflects Seattle's values. I look forward to seeing how residents use this tool to simulate that challenge." The tool, located at www.seattle.gov/budgetsimulation, simulates a challenging process that takes several months to complete each year. The simulation is further complicated by a couple of situational updates, just like in the real world. Good luck! national broadband report The Schools, Health and Libraries Broadband (SHLB) Coalition and the NTIA hosted a national conference in DC a couple weeks ago. Materials from this conference are available on a wiki by clicking on the agenda items here. There was quite a range of presentations. In a Measuring Broadband Adoption workshop, Karen Mossberger presented a 2011 study of Chicago that found smart phone only users are more likely to use Internet to get info or apply for job. Mobile only users have more skills than those with no personal access, but less than those with home broadband. The study also found that neighborhood context matters for technology disparities, and may exacerbate existing inequalities in access to jobs, health care and more. See conference presentations here. The conference also provided an opportunity for GigU and Connect2Compete to share their plans. GigU is investing in fiber initiatives around universities and Connect2Compete is rolling out a national ad campaign next year to encourage broadband awareness along with a program to provide low cost Internet and education resources to families with school lunch eligible children.

text: Director Simon Wincer teams up with his fellow Australian and star Paul Hogan for this second follow-up to the 1986 sleeper hit. Mick Dundee (Hogan) is still making his home in the tiny outback town of Walkabout Creek with his significant other Sue (Linda Kozlowski), and now joined by their young son Mikey (Serge Cockburn). Crocodile hunting has been made illegal, and Mick has been reduced to wrestling the animals for tourists. When an opportunity comes up for Sue to take over as L.A. bureau chief of a newspaper owned by her father, Mick and family cross the Pacific to California. There, Mick and his son's encounters with the natives cause more than a few cross-cultural mishaps, including a massive traffic jam on the freeway when the Dundees attempt an animal rescue. In the meantime, Mick becomes an amateur sleuth helping to probe the mysterious death of his wife's predecessor at the newspaper. Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles was inspired by star Hogan's real-life move to Los Angeles. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Sri Lanka Committed to Full Provincial Autonomy: Senior Tamil Minister Says at Durban Conference |
Monday, 20 April 2009 | |
Addressing the widely publicized UN world conference against racism and racial discrimination under the theme "United against Racism, Unity and Justice for all", currently underway in Geneva, Sri Lanka's most senior ethnic Tamil Cabinet Minister said that Sri Lanka's President Rajapakse was firmly committed to the full implementation of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution which gives substantive autonomy to the provinces. He also called upon the international community to put pressure on the LTTE to allow the civilians in its captivity to leave unconditionally. Given below is the full text of the Address by Hon Douglas Devananda, Minister of Social Welfare of Sri Lanka at the Durban Review Conference: Hon Douglas Devananda addressing the Durban Review Conference. "Ayubovan, Vanakkam, Asalam Aleikum, Mr. President, Madam High Commissioner Navanethem Pillay, distinguished delegates, I am honoured to address this assembly on behalf of His Excellency Mahinda Rajapakse and the people of Sri Lanka. I am a Sri Lankan who is also ethnically Tamil, representing the North, a province populated overwhelmingly by ethnic Tamils. It also had many Tamil speaking Muslims, such as my colleague Minister Rishad Bathiudeen who is with us today, after being internally displaced himself by LTTE terrorism. Sri Lanka has four major religions Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and Islam, and three distinct major communities, Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims, and three languages Sinhala, Tamil and English. This diversity has made for coexistence as well as conflict. The sources of conflict lie in factors related to our deliberations here. They are also related, as in many places, to colonialism. Though post-colonial Sri Lanka saw legislative changes which made Tamils feel they were being treated unequally and discriminated against, the majority Sinhalese felt Tamils got disproportionate advantages during colonial rule. Redress was thought necessary but the Tamils felt those actions were discriminatory. Tamils started agitating against the discrimination and demanded equality and power sharing in areas where they lived in substantial numbers. In the early period these agitations were democratic and non-violent. However, the next generation reacted to the state machinery crushing the non-violent acts of the Tamils. They took up arms against the state through many militant organizations. I was the leader of one such organization. Sri Lankan delegation to the UN Durban Review conference The flames of conflict should have been doused by the Indo-Lanka accord of 1987, brokered by the Prime Minister of India at the time, Shri Rajiv Gandhi, who was later murdered by the LTTE. It paved the way for a power sharing arrangement. The agreement also required the militants to lay down arms and join the democratic main stream, and almost all of us did so at the time. Due to the fanaticism of the LTTE, which rejected the Indo-Lanka Accord, the full implementation of the provincial council system has been blocked. The LTTE has been waging war with the ultimate aim of creating a separate state, Tamil Eelam. They are not only waging a war against the state, they also annihilate any democratic Tamil forces that would not be subservient to them. As a young man in my twenties, I was a survivor of the massacre of Tamil political prisoners in the Welikada jail, in July 1983 by a majority racists mob. However, I had not foreseen the evil of the racism and terrorism of the minority. When I gave up armed struggle and entered the democratic mainstream in 1987, I was regarded as a traitor by the Tigers. The US State Department reports I have survived eleven assassination attempts by the Tigers. My sight is impaired in one eye due to a spike driven into my skull by Tiger detainees when I visited them in prison to improve their conditions of detention. But my perspective is clear. Our President took action to curb LTTE terrorism after his attempts at negotiation were rejected. Now the Sri Lankan security forces have almost crushed the Tigers. However the Tigers use innocent civilians as human shields. These are my people, Mr President, from the island's North; people to whom I belong; people to whom I am tied by common ancestry and place. Though over 70, 000 of those held initially succeeded in getting away, despite being shot at by the LTTE as they escaped, there are still a large number held in captivity. Yet even as I speak today, thousands managed to get away to refuge with the government. If the international community can pressurize the LTTE to surrender or at least to release the rest of these civilians unconditionally, that will go a long way in ending the suffering of the Tamil minority.
President Rajapakse is committed to full implementation of the 13th Amendment to the Sri Lankan constitution which ensures substantive provincial autonomy. The political process has already started. Elections were conducted for the Eastern provincial council in May 2008. A Task Force for the Development of the North under my Chairmanship was established to oversee activities until normalcy is established in the province and elections are held. In the meantime, an All Party Representative Committee is finalizing proposals, including necessary constitutional amendments, to address grievances of the Tamils. We refer to this as "13th amendment Plus", that is, deeper provincial autonomy than currently in the Constitution. This will include a Second Chamber based on Provinces. Mr President, this being the current situation in my country, we entered wholeheartedly into commitments at the conference in Durban. This was a landmark event in the struggle against racial discrimination and intolerance. Sri Lanka is party to major international human rights instruments and has acceded to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. Since language rights are perhaps the most important issue of contention in Sri Lanka, we have taken measures to enforce bilingualism in administration while improving training in this field. We have also taken steps to ensure recruitment of Tamil speaking persons into our defence forces. Mr President, I call on all member states to cooperate in achieving the objectives of the World Conference and implementing the DDPA. My experience with racism, racial discrimination and xenophobia is real. In the struggle against these, I have been imprisoned, lost close family and friends, shed my blood, risked my life and had my sight damaged. But I have learned through struggle and sacrifice, that it is Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance that are our enemies, not one another. Thank you."

No Longer the World Leader in Education?
by TheRealSideRadio in Education
Tags: Economy World Leader Public School
We are slowly but surely losing our lead in education. Like watching a car crash in slow motion. Economist Eric Hanushek discusses a recent study and what we can and should do to maintain at the top. Tune in!
Have you had your healthy dose of reality lately? There are always at least two sides to every story. Have you ever wondered how someone, who saw the same thing you did, walked away telling a vastly different story? Which version was correct? Which one was the REAL story? Actually, both are! It's just a matter of perspective. Joe takes the issues… especially the controversial issues (politics, prejudice, religion, illegal immigration)… and brings in people from different sides to share their viewpoint. This is definitely not a fluff piece. And while no one is attacked, the questions are hard-hitting. But the conversation is always respectful and you're sure to learn something new, even if you don't agree! If you've always wondered how the "other side" thinks and how they've arrived at their "stand", then this is the show for you!
It's not the right side, it's not the wrong side, but the REAL side of the issues!

Steven Seidel is a former fat kid. I never felt great about the way I looked growing up. I was determined to change it. So I started eating less. A LOT less. I lost weight but I still wasn't fit. It was through a lot of trial and error that I learned exactly how to GET fit. It took years and a great deal of education for me to get it just right. A concept as simple as "eat less, move around more, pick up weights and then put them down, rinse repeat." should be self-explanatory right? But if it were easy, weight loss wouldn't be a billion dollar industry. It was through my own struggle that I discovered that my true calling in life is to help others reach their potential. My purpose is to eliminate the guesswork for my clients and to help them make permanent changes that improve their lives.

This year's batch of episodes includes "Cancelled" (Earth's ratings are in trouble, what with flashbacks and alien wrecking crews); "Krazy Kripples" (the one with the handicapped street gangs, and Christopher Reeve on a flagpole); "Toilet Paper" (conscience makes cowards of us all, but Kyle doesn't need any help); "I'm a Little Bit Country" (celebrating the series' 100th episode with Cartman upsetting the time-space continuum in 1776); "Fatt Butt and Pancake Head" (J-Lo and Ben Affleck invade South Park); "Lil' Crime Stoppers" (the "junior detectives" break up a meth lab); "Red Man's Greed" (beware of SARS-contaminated blankets and the noble Indian brave "Premise Running Thin"); "South Park Is Gay" (actually, it's infested with Crab People and Metro-Phobics); "Christian Rock Hard" (Cartman's band 'Faith + 1' plays "Christ-Fest"); "Grey Dawn" (the revenge of the Senior Motorists, as AARP declares martial law); "Casa Bonita" (meteors and the Mexican Disneyland are involved when Butters disappears); "All About the Mormons?" ("Dum dum dum dum" vs. "Smart smart smart smart"); "Butt Out" (Rob Reiner stops eating long enough to help the kids take on Big Tobacco); "Raisins" (a broken-hearted Stan goes goth, and Butters goes to a pre-pube "Hooters"); and "It's Christmas in Canada" (with Mounties, Newfies, and Saddam's hand-picked hand puppet). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

South Park [Animated TV Series]
Originating as (of all things!) a video Christmas card in which Jesus Christ duked it out with Santa Claus, the Comedy Central cartoon series South Park was one of the most outrageous and irreverent adult cable series of the 1990s and beyond -- not to mention one of the funniest. Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the series took place in the tiny, somewhat inbred village of South Park, CO, where there dwelt a quartet of potty-mouthed fourth graders: sensible but nervous Stan Marsh; neurotic and self-flagellating Kyle Broflovski; fat, obnoxious, and thoroughly me-oriented Eric Cartman; and parka-wearing Kenny McCormick, who never spoke above a mumble -- and who (during the series' first five seasons) was invariably killed off in a grisly manner in each episode ("Oh my God! They killed Kenny! You bastards!"). During season six, Kenny was assumed to be permanently dead, and his place in the foursome was taken by prissy Butters, who openly resented being the obligatory "TV series replacement regular." When Kenny returned in season seven, his "deaths" were far less frequent; reportedly, the producers were sick of figuring out new and unique ways of knocking him off. Though the kids were repulsive, they were none too good for the adults of South Park, who included the whiny, sexually ambivalent schoolteacher Mr. Garrison; Cartman's pushy, hermaphrodite mother, Liane; Kyle's loudmouthed, activist mom, Sheila; and the very stupid police chief Barbrady; and "Mrs. Mayor." The only grownup worth his salt (and pepper) was ex-soul singer "Chef" McElroy (voiced by Isaac Hayes), though his position in South Park as moral authority and the voice of reason was compromised a bit by his overactive libido.
Animated in a deliberately crude, jerky fashion (though brilliantly timed and paced), and featuring characters who resembled kindergarten cutouts, South Park took pride in butchering every sacred cow and toppling every icon known to conservative and liberal alike. The individual episodes managed to find laughs in such otherwise risky topics as homosexuality, mental and physical handicaps, child molestation, AIDs, anti-Semitism, Alzheimer's, global warming, and the war in Iraq. By being an "equal opportunity offender," the series managed to take both sides and no sides in every issue. Also adding to the hilarity were the occasional "guest" appearances by badly drawn (and voiced) celebrities, with Sally Struthers, Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Mel Gibson, Saddam Hussein, and especially Barbra Streisand among those mercilessly skewered. In addition, the series poked big holes in its "competition," the equally raunchy Beavis and Butthead, by introducing a pair of flatulent cartoon Canadians named Terrance and Phillip. Debuting August 13, 1997, and churning out between 13 and 18 episodes per year, South Park was the archetypal "You Either Love It or You Hate It" cartoon show -- but the majority of viewers loved it! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

By Ariel Schwartz
Despite initial support, a barrage of negative ads helped defeat the state's Prop 37, which means that companies can still sell GM-containing foods without letting consumers know. Now both sides are gearing up for another fight in Washington.
California's Proposition 37, a ballot initiative aiming to label genetically modified ingredients in food, was many things, depending on who you ask: an opportunity for consumers to get transparency in their food products; an affront on family farmers, food companies, and grocers; a lawyer's dream; a chance for the U.S. to catch up to the 50-plus countries that already label GMO foods; and a fear-mongering initiative propagated by people and companies that are against science.
In the end, the public was swayed by the No on Prop 37 campaign, which convinced people that the economic costs were too high and the science didn't make sense. As of November 6, Prop 37 is dead. The deck was stacked against the pro-Prop 37 camp, funded by companies like Nature's Path Foods and Amy's Kitchen, from the start. It just wasn't as well-funded; the No on Prop 37 movement saw pesticide companies like Monsanto and Bayer Cropscience sinking millions of dollars into the campaign. In the last 20 days before the election, No on Prop 37 spent an average of over $1 million each day on an ad blitz, killing the proposition's momentum--it dropped from 67% support in September to 39% support by the election.
Arran Stephens. The big question is: what's next? If the measure had passed, it's likely that GMO labeling would have become a federal issue--California is so large that many companies would have just started labeling products for elsewhere in the country too. Now the organizations and companies that fought to get the proposition on the state's ballot have to look elsewhere. "We're not going to give up: 4.2 million Californians voted for Prop 37. This should be a wake-up call, a signal to [President] Obama," says Arran Stephens, CEO and cofounder of Nature's Path (the company gave $660,000 to the Prop 37 campaign).
The next stop for the GMO labeling movement is Washington State, where I-522 (also known as "The People's Right To Know Genetically Engineered Food Act") is heading to the November 2013 ballot if it garners enough signatures. "It's a new law in Washington that wants to do the same thing but with simpler language," explains Stephens. There was some sticky language that got the Yes on Prop 37 camp in trouble in California--namely, labeling exemptions for alcohol and meat products that come from animals who eat GMO feed as well as a stipulation that .5% of microingredients in a product could contain GMOs and still be labeled GMO-free.
Editor's NoteWhat do we know about genetically modified food?
*You're already eating a lot of it; more than you think.
* It might be dangerous (then again, it might not).
* If you're worried, you can use this app to help figure out what foods contain it.
* Oh, and it might be making you fat.
Says Stephens: "Some people misinterpreted that to say 'Oh, you have a different standard than the European standard of .9%.' In Prop 37 it was .5% for each microingredient so the total aggregate could be higher, but it was a point that was argued in great hairsplitting detail to the extent where the bigger prize was forgotten or bypassed." I-522 will take out the exemptions and clarify the microingredient issue. There's no question, however, that the big pesticide companies will fight just as hard to make sure it doesn't pass.
While most of Nature's Path's business is in the U.S., Stephens lives in Canada. He hopes to take on labeling there as well. "The Canadian situation is worse than the U.S," he explains. "In the U.S, in certain states, you can pass state laws that give consumers protection independent from the federal government, but in Canada that's not the case. We're getting our ducks in a row and tackling bureaucracy in Canada."
There are plenty of people who don't care about labeling, as evidenced by the fact that Prop 37 didn't pass. And in fact, GMO foods might be 100% safe for human consumption. We just don't know. The FDA doesn't require GMO foods to go through a safety assessment process, and the pesticide industry has used patent control of its GMO crops to stop independent research.
Big pesticide companies will fight just as hard to make sure the Washington law doesn't pass. Here's what we do know: Between 1996 and 2011, toxic herbicide use increased by 527 million pounds due to the growing use of herbicide-resistant GMO crops. And continued use of GMO crops (and associated herbicides) is breeding superweeds and superpests.
Labeling isn't the same thing as taking GMO food off the market, but it has proven in other countries to make consumers wary. In fact, companies like Monsanto initially supported labeling in Europe, but "found that consumers didn't buy products that were labeled, so they switched tactics," according to Stephens. There's reason for them to be skittish.
Whatever happens in Washington, the pro-labeling movement will press on. "I'll never give up on this thing. I'm going to go down with my boots on," says Stephens. "Even though we may lose a couple of battles, this is a far bigger struggle and it's not over by any means."

Dickinson College is committed to sustainability. Biking is a great way for a small residential campus to reduce it's carbon emissions and build a community of students who value sustainable transportation. The Center for Sustainability Education (CSE) coordinates biking programs and events to help raise awareness and make biking easier for our campus & community members. Dickinson Bikes, is a student-maintained blog that summarizes campus information and events, The Handlebar Bike Shop, and our Green Bike and Red Bike programs. It is easy for students, faculty, and staff to come together for rides, repairs, and events. The biking culture grew quickly, and CSE is always looking for more volunteers to get involved in these programs.
The Handlebar:The Handlebar is an on-campus teaching bike repair shop that was created by the Dickinson Community, for the Dickinson Community. The vision became a reality after joint efforts by the Center for Sustainability Education (CSE) and the Dickinson IdeaFund. Now operated by CSE interns and student and staff volunteers, The Handlebar services members of the Dickinson College community, aiming to increase bicycle use, repair services and bike-related knowledge on campus. The shop believes in equitable access, affordability and a strong sense of community. The Handlebar increases social and environmental consciousness through hands-on learning, networking and teaching. Red Bike Program: The Department of Public Safety (DPS) loans bikes to members of the Dickinson College community through its Red Bikes program. Students, faculty, staff, and their visiting family members may borrow a bike for a few hours– or an entire day– so long as they return the bike before sundown of that same day. The program is easy and free of charge. Green Bike Program:Dickinson's Green Bikes Program, coordinated by CSE, is available to members of the College community, and extends from the Handlebar's efforts to increase bicycle use on campus while supporting sustainable reuse of bikes and bike parts. Students, faculty & staff can borrow a Green Bike from The Handlebar's fleet for an entire semester, so long as they provide a refundable $25 deposit and promise to treat the bike with care!Bike to Farm Potluck: Is there a better way to spend a Friday night then biking out to the farm, eating delicious food, sitting around a bonfire and watching a movie? This Dickinson tradition that occurs once a semester allows students, faculty, staff, and their families to bike 6.3 miles to the Dickinson College Organic Farm, share dinner, music, movies, bonfire, and friendship. Once the sun goes down, transportation is provided back to campus for all bikers and their gear.

IAQ Design Tools for Schools
The Healthy School Environments Assessment Tool is a free software tool to help school systems more effectively manage all of their environmental issues. HealthySEAT is designed to be customized by school systems to conduct and manage self-assessments of their school facilities for a wide range of environmental, health, and safety issues.
In the next few years, school districts will spend tens of billions of dollars constructing new school facilities, and enlarging and renovating existing schools. The information available here is presented as a tool to help school districts and facility planners design the next generation of learning environments so that the school facility will help — rather than hinder — schools in achieving their core mission of educating children.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a critically important aspect of creating and maintaining school facilities. IAQ Design Tools for Schools provides both detailed guidance as well as links to other information resources to help design new schools as well as repair, renovate and maintain existing facilities. Though its primary focus is on indoor air quality, it is also intended to encourage school districts to embrace the concept of designing High Performance Schools, an integrated, "whole building" approach to addressing a myriad of important — and sometimes competing — priorities, such as energy efficiency, indoor air quality, day-lighting, materials efficiency, and safety, and doing so in the context of tight budgets and limited staff.
Why use IAQ Design Tools for Schools? Read more.
Preliminary Design Phases
Building a school with indoor air quality that supports the school in its primary mission of educating children requires attention to indoor air quality issues from the very beginning of the process. Learn more
Controlling Pollutants and Sources
To protect indoor environmental quality, the designer must understand indoor air quality problems and seek to eliminate potential sources of contamination that originate from outdoors as well as indoors. Learn more
Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) Systems
The main purposes of an HVAC system are to maintain good indoor air quality and provide thermal comfort, two key requirements for high performance schools. HVAC systems are among the largest energy consumers in schools. Learn more
Moisture Control
Moisture can trigger the growth of mold that can not only damage the school facility, but can lead to health and performance problems for students and staff. Learn more
Poor job-site construction practices can frustrate even the best design by allowing moisture and other contaminants to become potential long term problems. Preventive job-site practices will reduce the potential for residual problems with indoor air quality in the completed building and reduce undue health risks for workers. Learn more
If building materials, equipment, and systems aren't installed properly or aren't operating as intended, the health, productivity, and other benefits of high performance design will not be achieved. Building commissioning is a quality assurance program that is intended to show that the building is constructed and performs as designed. Learn more
Renovation and Repair of Existing Schools
You can minimize problems during renovation and repair by making good indoor air quality one of the criteria during project planning. Contract language and negotiations with service providers (contractors) can help ensure that proper materials and procedures are used, such as performing work during unoccupied periods in the school. Learn more
Operations and Maintenance
Effective maintenance and operations procedures are fundamentally important to sustaining the performance of all building systems. Student health and productivity can suffer when building systems fail to operate as designed. Learn more
Portable (Relocatable) Classrooms
Portable, or "relocatable" classrooms have been a feature of many school districts for years. In reality, portable classrooms are seldom moved and become permanent fixtures of the school. The effects of poor indoor air quality in portable classrooms are no different from those in permanent classrooms. Learn more
