On the day Crew management announced that Brian McBride would be honored at the next home game as the first honoree in the franchise's Circle of Honor, he was pushed aside in the record book by a surefire future member of that club.
Jeff Cunningham's 90th-minute goal against 10-man Vancouver on Wednesday at Empire Field not only set the club mark for career goals and tied him with McBride for the points lead, but more importantly, it enabled Cunningham to equal Jaime Moreno's all-time MLS mark of 133 goals.
And, oh yes, the Crew won 1-0 on Cunningham's 40th career game-winner.
WATCH: Cunningham's record-tying goal
"It feels awesome," he said. "I want to thank my teammates, thank the coaching staff and the fans for all the support over the years. This is a milestone that means a lot to me and for everyone that's been supportive of me throughout my career."
It was a long wait for Cunningham, whose 63 goals in a Columbus uniform are one better than McBride's total. They each have 169 points.
"It's a good night all around for the organization," said goalkeeper William Hesmer, whose penalty kick save of Terry Dunfield in the 73rd minute was one of his seven saves on the night. "I'm really happy for Jeff and happy we came out of this road trip with three points."
Cunningham entered the season needing just one goal to tie Moreno, the retired former D.C. United star, but he had gone 408 minutes in 11 games (three starts) without a score before Wednesday's match.
That all changed when the Crew (7-5-6, 27 points) took advantage of a red card to Shea Salinas in the 78th minute for his late, studs-up challenge to the shin of defender Josh Gardner.
It was the eighth time this season a Crew opponent had been sent off.
Gardner was down for awhile but not out, as he proved on the deciding play. His cross from the just outside the left corner of the penalty area found Cunningham unmarked seven yards in front of the goal. Cunningham put his head on the service and flicked the ball into the back of the net and into the record book.
"This is the longest I've gone without scoring," he said. "It's been a lack of confidence a little bit. I didn't know when and how that goal was going to come but I'm pretty pleased the way it happened.
"The team needed those three points and I'm happy to contribute in that manner."
He was mobbed by his teammates after the score.
"I've been waiting all season for him to score," defender Julius James said. "I went to celebrate with him but I was so tired. He took off. He's a fast guy, you know. I tried to catch up to him. When I finally did I was winded. I was really excited."
Cunningham's first chance to break the record could come during the home game on July 16 vs. San Jose, when McBride will be honored at halftime.
McBride and Cunningham were teammates from 1998 until McBride departed for England after the 2003 season. Cunningham was traded to Colorado in 2005 and also spent time with Real Salt Lake, Toronto FC and FC Dallas before being released by FCD in December and selected by the Crew in the Re-Entry Draft.
"It's great that he got rewarded for his effort," coach Robert Warzycha said. "That was a great ball by Gardner and a great finish by Jeff."

Torrent Falls
- Jan Watson Author
- 2008 20 Mar
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is an excerpt from Torrent Falls by Jan Watson (Tyndale House Publishers).
Chapter 1
Copper Brown Corbett held her skirts ever higher. Rushing water lapped first at her ankles and then her knees as she ventured farther into the creek. The flood was receding, but it was too late to save her garden. Might as well pull her feet out of the mud and go back to the house.
A baby's cry drew her attention. Lilly Gray was awake. Hands on hips, Copper took one last look at the muddy water. That was the price you paid, she reckoned, for living on Troublesome Creek.
She'd asked for her father's ramshackle farm, and he'd turned over the deed. Now all the work and worry belonged to her. She knew Daddy would be back one day. By that time she was sure to have the farm up and running again so that all he had to do was sit on the porch and listen to the katydids and the whip-poor-wills. Longing for her family nearly dropped her to her knees right there in the spillover that drowned the green onions, what was left of the lettuce, and the cucumber vines no bigger than her little finger. A few more weeks and they'd have pickles. Copper had already scrubbed the crock.
Lilly Gray's cry escalated, gone from asking to demanding.
"Mama's coming, baby," Copper called as she mounted the stone steps. A dash of water over her feet sent a thin stream of mud off the side of the porch.
She entered her bedroom and smiled at her baby. Her pure pleasure. "Did you miss me?"
"Nursey!" Lilly Gray said, her cheeks still flushed from slumber, her eyes the dark gray color of a storm cloud. The contents of the crib were strewn about the room, flung as far as her chubby arms could make them go.
"You're still dry, Mama's good girl!"
After Lilly's quick trip to the wooden potty in the corner, Copper wrapped her daughter in a crib quilt and carried her and a cup of tea to the porch.
"Nursey?" Lilly asked plaintively as she snuggled against her mother's chest.
Copper settled into the wooden rocker that had been her father's favorite. Stroking her daughter's silky hair, she let the garden go. There was food to be found in abundance up the mountain—ramp and cress and mushrooms—and surely she hadn't forgotten how to hunt. Daddy's gun hung idly over the fireplace. Mam said he wouldn't need it where they were going: Philadelphia. And there was an abundance of canned goods in the cellar. Her sister-in-law, Alice, had sent enough to feed an army, sure Copper would let Lilly starve without her help. A furrow formed between her eyebrows. Oh, that Alice.
The tea was just right, hot and sweetened with a teaspoon tip of honey. Tension melted from Copper's shoulders as she rocked. There was nothing more relaxing than nursing a baby. I'll miss this. Lilly Gray's a big girl now. She'll turn two in November. I'll have to think about weaning her before fall.
Could it have been just a month since she'd left Lexington and her life in that fair city to return to her mountain home? As the baby lay in the crook of her arm, Copper examined her palms. Calluses were forming where blisters had popped across her soft, tender skin. A little more time with the rake and the hoe, a few more wash days, a few more floor scrubbings and she'd have working hands again. Hands she could be proud of.
Shifting Lilly Gray to the other side, Copper let her mind wander—a dangerous distraction. Sometimes she wished she could go back in time to when she was a girl, innocent of pain and sorrow, happy to run wild up the mountain in search of whatever suited her fancy on any given day. She leaned her head back and laughed to herself remembering how her stepmother strove to turn her into a lady and how she fought against Mam's desires, yanking her hair ribbons out and losing her store-bought shoes. Poor Mam, she tried so hard.
It turned out that Copper had needed every one of the lessons her stepmother so diligently taught, for she married a doctor and left her mountain home, ever grateful for Mam's foresight.
"Still, I had much to learn," she said as if Lilly could understand. "A hillbilly girl set down in the city, I was a sight. I don't know how your father stood me."
Lilly Gray glanced up. She looked so much like Simon. Copper didn't know if she'd ever get used to seeing him there, locked in his daughter's eyes. A little heartache started up, but she pushed it back down. She was tired of grieving. "Let's climb the mountain, baby. Let Mama get her shoes, and we'll go find some wild onions for dinner."
Testing the path with a walking stick, Copper steadied herself as she climbed. It was difficult going with the weight of the child nestled in a sling pulling her backward. She'd lost her sturdiness since Simon died. Between that and nursing Lilly, she was as stringy as an old squirrel, no meat on her bones.
She pushed aside a leafy branch and peered into a quiet meadow lined on three sides by towering oak, beech, and ash. It had probably been a hundred years since they were acorn and seed. The early morning sun streamed through their leafy limbs, piercing the shadows. She could barely see a smallish tumble of water on the far rocky hillside. Even from a distance, the splash of falling water played a pretty song.
"Cow?" Lilly Gray asked.
Copper reached behind, her arms cupping Lilly's bottom, taking the strain from her shoulders. "Shh. Mama deer and baby fawns, Lilly. They're having breakfast."
"Shh," Lilly whispered in Copper's ear. "Nursey?"
"Yes, nursey."
They watched as the doe nibbled delicately on a patch of clover while the twins took turns with her milk, knocking heads in their impatience. Suddenly, the doe's ears perked. She froze for an instant before turning to leap into the darkness of the forest, her twins close behind, white tails bobbing. Their crashing run reverberated across the meadow.
Copper was sorry for disturbing the mother deer. But the beauty of the place could not be ignored; the forest creatures would have to share with her and Lilly Gray.
The sun hitched higher in the morning sky and graced a line of pear trees with its light. A breeze kicked up, and a drift of fragrant white blossoms showered Copper and her baby.
Untying the sling, Copper slid Lilly from her back and let her dance in the midst of their sudden good fortune. Lilly grabbed handfuls of the silky petals and flung them in the air.
"Looks like snow, doesn't it, Lilly? You were just a baby last winter when we made snowmen with Auntie Alice and cousin Dodie." Another thing I've probably done wrong, taking Lilly Gray from her family.
Help me know I made the right decision in coming back, Lord, she prayed. Please help me.
Copper picked up Lilly, then settled her on her skinny hip. "Let's go find the waterfall." As they traversed the field, she took note of the small orchard, just a line of a couple dozen or so trees actually, as if someone had intended to farm this patch of land and then left for one reason or another. She and Lilly would come back to check on the fruit. Pear butter was good on biscuits.
They entered the forest gloom and popped out again before a sparkling waterfall revealed itself. It tumbled from a high rock outcropping and was as pretty as a gemstone.
Oh, Copper wished she'd brought a bar of soap and a towel, but no matter, she and Lilly Gray would bathe anyway; her linen petticoat would serve to dry them. Lilly shivered in the needlelike spray. Copper could have stood there all day. The sluicing water, the moss-covered rock, the sycamore tree bent forward over the brook … peace, that's what it was. Peace as strong as communion and also sacred. It seemed God had designed this place and this moment just for her. An answer to spoken prayer.
Back in the meadow, Copper picked a bright patch of sunlight and sat with Lilly to dry her hair. She'd rest just a moment before starting home, although there was so much to do she couldn't afford the time. Eggs needed gathering, the milk from the morning needed straining, and she needed to see what she could salvage from the garden. How could she get everything done alone? Of course there was her neighbor John Pelfrey. John had been so good already, planting the garden and bringing her a cow and some chickens, but Copper didn't want to rely on that goodness. John had his own work to do, and the last thing she wanted was to be beholden.
Things sure had changed since she'd been gone. There used to be a houseful of Pelfreys right across the creek, but they'd moved away, leaving only John. Copper wondered why he hadn't gone with them. She felt a smile tugging the corner of her mouth as she remembered how she and John had once been sweethearts—at least they'd played at being sweethearts, children that they were. Well, that was in the past. She was through with all that. She'd never risk that kind of pain again.
Lilly was down for a nap, and Copper took the churn out to the porch. Up and down, up and down, the smooth wooden dasher slid through her fingers. Come supper, there would be butter on their corn bread to go with the soup beans that simmered on the cookstove. She'd make a wilted salad with the ramps and cress she'd gathered this morning. Her hands sensed the change in the milk as it formed soft lumps. Lifting the lid, she saw that it was nearly finished. Soon she could pour off the whey and put the solid in the molds. Lilly loved the butterfly that formed atop the butter from the mold.
A horse and two riders appeared from around the corner of the barn.
The dasher fell back into the churn as Copper stood. "Who in the world could that be?"
The old tomcat who lay beside the chair didn't answer, busy as he was licking a splash of whey from his foot.
The horse ambled across the yard, taking his own sweet time. The riders, a girl of about fifteen and an older boy, stared at Copper. The girl smiled.
"May I help you?" Copper asked.
The boy reached out an arm. His muscles stood up like knots on an apple tree limb.
The girl grasped it and swung herself down. "Mammaw says you need some help."
"Do I know your mammaw?"
"Everybody knows Fairy Mae Whitt. She's lived up Crook-Neck Holler for seventy-five years, give or take." The girl marched up on the porch and settled her ample hips in the chair at the churn, taking over the dasher.
Copper knew of Fairy Mae Whitt. She'd visited up Crook-Neck with her daddy on occasion when she was a girl. Daddy would go checking on neighbors after a storm or some such thing. Fairy Mae was a good woman, widowed as long as Copper could remember. Copper reckoned Fairy Mae wouldn't send trouble to her door. Besides, her daddy taught her to never turn away a stranger. "We might be entertaining angels unaware," she'd heard him say at least a dozen times.
"Come on up," Copper said to the boy. "Rest a spell and have a glass of water."
The young man stayed on his horse; his Adam's apple bobbed in time to the churn.
The girl beckoned, so the boy slid off the horse, looping its reins around the porch rail. The horse was a fine-looking animal. Its coat, brushed to a shine, glinted red in the sunlight. Oddly its hooves shone too.
"Stove blacking and sheep tallow," the girl said as if Copper had asked. "Dimmert polishes them every night."
The quiet fellow eased over to stand behind the girl. His own bare feet could have used some attention. Taking the water Copper offered, he drank it down in one gulp.
"Thank ye," the girl answered for both of them. "Darcy Whitt," she said, releasing the dasher and sticking out her hand.
Copper's face colored. Why, this girl had better manners than she did. "Pleased to meet you, Darcy." She shook the proffered hand. "And you too, Dimmert, is it? I'm Mrs. Corbett, but please call me Copper."
"My brother don't waste words," Darcy said as Dimmert stood with downcast eyes.
"Well, now," Copper said, trying to take charge of her own porch. She wished she had some spectacles to adjust. That's what Mam would have done, pushed her glasses up on her nose and made everything fall into place with that one motion. "I've got leftover cold breakfast pie. Who'd like some?"
Dimmert raised his hand as if he were in school.
"Is it blackberry?" Darcy asked. "I like blackberry, but I'd say no to rhubarb."
"You're in luck then. I'll just dish up a couple of bowls." The screen door squeaked as Copper opened it. A little grease would fix that, but she loved the sound of a screen door. She slid the pan of cold biscuit from the pie safe, nearly dropping it when she turned back around. Darcy stood at the table pouring whey from the churn into a stoneware bowl. These two were quiet; she'd give them that.
"Where do you want this butter, Miz Copper?" Darcy asked.
Copper put two molds on the table. "These should do it. We'll make two so you can take one home to your mammaw."
"We weren't figuring to go home for a right long spell." Darcy patted the butter neatly into the copper molds, pressing out air bubbles. "These here sure are pretty."
"I thank your grandmother for thinking of me," Copper replied, "but I'm not sure—"
"We won't be no trouble. Dimm will sleep in the barn, and I'll be fine right there in front of the fireplace if you can spare a quilt."
"I'll have to think about this. I can't promise you anything right now."
"Can you think right fast?" Darcy screwed up her freckled face. She was a spunky, brown-haired girl and charming with a ready smile. The opposite of her lanky brother, she was short and stout. "Mammaw cain't afford to feed us all."
"How many are there?" Copper asked.
"Well, let's see. There's me and Dimmert; that's two. Then there's Dance, but she don't live at home, so that's minus one. How many's that?" She counted off her fingers, holding up three and dropping one. "Huh, still two. Dilly's the baby and next is Dory, Dawn, Delia, and Dean." Her tongue poked out the corner of her mouth, and she knit her brow as she counted. "I'm leaving someone out." She tapped her toe as she stared at the floor. "Ezra," she crowed triumphantly. "I almost left out Ezra. How many's that? A bunch, I reckon."
Copper's head swam. Ezra? Wonder why they hadn't named him Dezra. "That's a bunch, all right. I don't remember Fairy Mae having but one girl living with her."
"Oh, we ain't been here long. We're from Virginia."
Adding a little water to the beans, Copper gave them a quick stir, then hung her apron on a peg behind the door. "Darcy, will you listen for my baby? She's sleeping in the next room. I won't be long."
Copper needed to think. Truth was she did need help, and there was something about Darcy she liked. She paused to mull it over. Dimmert could be a help for sure. Every farm needed a man's strength. She wished she could talk to John. She wandered down to the creek. There was Dimmert, a ring of blackberry stain around his mouth, shovel in hand. The trench he was digging had already begun to divert the muddy water from the garden. He held up the shovel, a guilty look across his face.
Copper couldn't have been more surprised if the tomcat had hitched a team of mice to the plow. "You've saved the cucumbers. Thank you." She could have hugged him. Not only was he smart, but he had the decency to know he should have asked to use the shovel.
It looked as if she had a couple of hired hands. Darcy could have her old room, and with just a little fixing, the tack room in the barn would work for Dimmert. "Thank You, Lord," she whispered, tears in her eyes. God was good.

To my astonishment, about halfway through the sales spiel he suddenly asked, "Hey, what kind of doctor are you, anyway?"
"Uh, I'm a neurologist."
"Really? What does a neurologist do? I didn't even know I was calling on one."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Ouch! Perhaps he should considered the used car industry as an occupation.
This rep must be nibbling too much of the drug he is selling/pushing.
I dislike drug reps.
whoa! Yeahhhhh...probably best to know where you are going AND who you are meeting with before opening your mouth in this fashion! yikes!
reminds me of the movie "Duets"....ever see it?
Nice. And I'm unemployed... go figure....
We had one in the other day that could not pronounce "lethargy." And then he butchered "dyspnea" and several other words that were WRITTEN on his power point presentation...I mean, you need to make the effort to learn how to pronounce the words you KNOW you will be saying.
He used to work at a rental car place. He told us this along with the fact that he was let go from his previous job.
you should save your empty diet coke cans for such moments. then you can start an impromptu version of dodge-ball, coke can style, where the other "team" is the drug rep, of course. ;-)
"And another thing. When I took this job I thought I was going to get to take a lot of drugs, but all they've given me so far are a bunch of pamphlets and some plastic models of the nervous system. I've tried swallowing them, smoking them, snorting them, and injecting them, but so far I'm not feeling a thing. I should have known that Craigslist job posting was too good to be true."
Drug reps, and the gigantic delicious feasts they nearly always bring us, are the light of my sad, sterile little world.
Did you enlighten him, Dr. G?
I tried.
Let's see...new anti-depressant which likely works in THE BRAIN.
Rep is visiting neurologist whose specialty is THE BRAIN.
Perhaps this person needs to be selling hats...same general territory, but probably easier to understand.
My first reaction, "Oh wow," how embarassing for everyone in the room. Of course the rep was probably too uninformed to be embarassed. From what I recall, to even get an interview for a position as a drup rep a four year degree was a must...wonder where this person graduated from???
Just, "Oh wow."
You certainly do have the nuttball maganet somewhere in your practice Dr. G!
The more I read your blog, the more ashamed I am to be a salesperson. There are good ones of us out there - that never went thru a drug rep training program either. Sigh.
I'm laughing too much, can't think of anything witty here!
Bless him, the poor thing... I hope the food was good, Dr G :)
(Free food and free pens and the odd free teddybear... I don't pay much attention to the reps otherwise)
Ausduck- Actually, the food is the only thing allowed. Starting on 1-1-09 all pens, teddybears, post-it notes, etc. were banned.
Was his name Corky by any chance?
Last week, a brand-new rep aggressively interrupted my conversation with a patient to introduce himself.
He explained that he is an MBA who actually wants to join the marketing team of Big Drug Company, but they require him to do 6 months of sales first.
With all the cutbacks in the pharma sales force over the past couple of years, it's hard to believe that these bozos are the ones who still have jobs.
What, no pens, post-its or teddybears? The horreur!
The food better be top nosh, then!
(ps Dr G, we still have the odd pen, post-it note and teddybear turning up over here in Aus... not contraband...yet lol)
I got into a conversation with one last year who was trying to peddle krill oil (as opposed to regular old fish oil). Might have helped if she had known anything about Omega 3 apart from "krill oil is full of it". Full of it. Hmm.

- 1 17.3-ounce package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
- 1/2 cup (about) green- or black-olive tapenade*
- 5 to 6 ripe medium tomatoes, preferably assorted colors, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 12 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
- Fleur de sel or coarse kosher salt
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
- 18 small fresh basil leaves
- 6 green or black olives, pitted, sliced
Recipe Preparation
Position racks in top third and bottom third of oven. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with 1 pastry sheet at a time, roll out on floured surface to 13-inch square. Using 6-inch-diameter plate, cut out 4 rounds from 1 sheet and 2 rounds from second sheet (reserve remaining pastry for another use). Transfer 3 rounds to each baking sheet. Pierce each round with fork. Top rounds with another sheet of parchment. Place another baking sheet atop parchment on each sheet.
Place 1 baking sheet stack on each rack in oven and bake 10 minutes. Rotate baking sheets and bake until rounds are golden, about 10 minutes longer. Using oven mitts, carefully remove top baking sheets and top sheets of parchment. Continue baking pastries until deep golden, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer sheets to rack to cool. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
Increase oven temperature to 450°F. Spread generous tablespoon tapenade over each pastry round, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges. Alternate 4 tomato slices with 4 mozzarella slices atop each pastry in pinwheel pattern. Bake just until cheese begins to melt, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with fleur de sel and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Arrange a few basil leaves and olive slices atop each tartlet and serve immediately.
*A thick paste or spread made from brine-cured olives, capers, anchovies, and various seasonings; available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Italian markets.

In the Altbier brewpubs in Düsseldorf and Münster, brewers occasionally surprise their regular patrons with a "special" version of their usual fare. The brewer gets a chance to experiment a little, change up the recipe from the everyday, and the customers get a taste of something a little different. These small-batch specials, known as "Sticke", or "secret", are not generally advertised outside of the pub itself, relying on word of mouth to bring in the crowds. Often a little stronger or a little hoppier, they might also contain an ingredient not usually found in the standard Altbiers.
Altbiers, along with Kölsch, are rare German ales. "Alt" , "old" in German, refers to "old-style" or even "old-fashioned" – beers brewed in a traditional manner since well before the new-fangled lagers came into popularity. Most are a deep copper color, with some intensly bitter hops in the finish, although the bitterness levels vary from brewery to brewery. They are fermented relatively warm and then cold-conditioned, making them smooth and clean-tasting.
For more information on Altbiers, their history and how to brew them, I highly recommend Horst Dornbusch's book "Altbier" in the AHA Style Series.
Stickelbract Altbier
5 gallons, all-grain
- 5 lbs. lager malt
- 3 lbs. dark Munich malt
- 3 lbs. 60°L crystal malt
- 1/2 lb. Vienna malt
- 1/2 lb. cara-pils malt
- 1/4 lb. melanoidin malt
- 1/8 lb. Carafa I malt
- 1 oz. Spalter hop pellets (5% aa)
- 1 oz. New Zealand Stickelbract hop pellets (14.1% aa)
- 1 oz Tettnanger hop pellets (5% aa)
- White Labs German Ale/Kölsch yeast (WLP029)
- 2/3 cup corn sugar (for priming)
Procedure: Crush grains. Heat 16 quarts water to 166°F. Mash in grains and hold 90 minutes at 155°F. Heat another 15 quarts water to 170°F. Begin runoff and sparge, collect 32 quarts sweet wort. Bring to boil, boil 30 minutes before adding any hops. Add Spalter hops, boil 30 minutes. Add Stickelbract hops, boil another 25 minutes. Add Tettnanger hops, boil 5 more minutes (60 total with hops, 90 total overall), remove from heat. Chill to 80°F, take a hydrometer reading. Pour into a sanitized fermenter, splashing well to aerate. Pitch yeast, seal and ferment warm (65°F) for eight to ten days. Rack to secondary, age cool (40 – 45°F) for two to three weeks. Prime with corn sugar, bottle and condition three to four weeks at 40 – 45°F.
IBU's: 58.6
Notes on style: Since this is a Sticke Alt, it is a bit darker than the usual Alt – it still has a gorgeous reddish-copper glow. Its OG and IBU levels are a fair bit higher than the average Altbier, too
Notes on hops: The Spalter and Tettnanger hops are typical German Noble hops and are perfectly at home in an Altbier. The Sticklebract hops, however, are an anomoly, added in part because of the name and in part as a memorial to the victims of the tragic earthquake in Christchurch these last couple days. My soon-to-be daughter-in-law spent a semester in New Zealand a couple years ago and has many friends affected by the disaster.
Notes on procedure: The long boil, partly without any hops, serves to caramelize and really deepen the copper color of the beer. Since this not a highly bitter beer, in general, it's good to add the hops after some of the boil has occurred. I started with a larger volume of wort than usual and needed to boil off a fair amount.

How do I represent the -ed in witnessed (or any other similar word) phonetically? Is there a reference sheet somewhere for these? I notice that other endings do not get shown in most dictionaries either (for example -es in phrases)
I use Word web which has a pronunciation guide for the root of the word, but I can't find anything to write the -ed part phonetically. It does not seem to be on this Wikipedia page.
I would prefer the same format as Word web. Many people could probably figure this out for themselves (without a direct reference), but I do not trust myself.

US warships off to Black Sea before Sochi Games
US officials say the first of two American warships heading into the Black Sea in advance of the Olympic Games has sailed from Italy.world Updated: Feb 01, 2014, 10:43 IST
US officials say the first of two American warships heading into the Black Sea in advance of the Olympic Games has sailed from Italy.
In another sign of US efforts to protect Americans at the Winter Games, the FBI says at least two dozen agents are going to Sochi, Russia.
Islamic militants have threatened to derail the Winter Games, which run from Feb. 7-23.
The USS Mount Whitney got underway yesterday from Gaeta, Italy, and the Navy frigate USS Taylor is expected to leave from Naples, Italy, today.
The officials spoke about the warships on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to publicly disclose ship movements.
FBI Director James Comey told reporters in New Mexico yesterday that the FBI is in constant contact with Russian authorities as the Games approach. Comey says he spoke earlier in the day to the head of the Russian Federal Security Service.
Comey says Russian authorities face a serious threat and he wants the FBI to be ready to help.
Russian and US defense officials, including Pentagon chief Chuck Hagel, have discussed the Olympic security threat. The US has offered to help in any way needed, but no specific assistance has been requested.
The Pentagon has said the US warships are deploying to the Black Sea as part of normal military planning and could perform any required missions, including communications or evacuations.

Meet Stephan Feck, an Olympic diver from Germany. Stephan Feck likely has a very big red mark covering his back right now, because something went horribly wrong when Mr. Feck tried to execute a forward three-and-a-half somersault during one of his dives. That sounds like a really hard thing to do, so I'm not going to judge Feck too harshly for his failure. I will, however, snicker quietly to myself at his expense. Please feel free to do the same.

We've talked about the power of a single event photo in winning a new client.
And we've talked about the mighty, mighty iPad tablet computer and its growing clout in special events.
For a story that marries the two, consider the recent experience of award-winning planner Cheryl Fish.
While flying from L.A. to New York for a client meeting, Cheryl was looking at her iPad, which was loaded with photos of weddings she has created.
"The passenger sitting behind me tapped me on my shoulder and asked if I was having a wedding," Cheryl recounts. "When I told her I was an event and wedding planner, she smiled and told me her daughter was getting married."
"Believe it or not," Cheryl says, "she and I spoke for 2 1/2 hours on the plane, and she gave me a deposit for her daughter's wedding based on the pictures I had on my iPad."
Photos and iPads--a match made in heaven!

You can beat the heat, have fun and enjoy breathtaking scenery by grabbing your fishing pole and heading to Utah's mountains.
Paul Birdsey, cold water sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says high-elevation waters in Utah provide some of the state's best summer fishing. Those waters include lakes in the Uinta Mountains in northern Utah and the Boulder Mountains down south.
Birdsey says trout feed actively when the water temperature is between 55 and 65 degrees. "Fifty five to 65 degrees is the ideal water temperature for trout," he says. "And, fortunately, that's the temperature high-elevation lakes in Utah stay at throughout the summer. That's the main reason they're such great places to fish."
While high-elevation waters throughout Utah provide quality fishing in the summer, the Uinta Mountains and the Boulder Mountains should top your list of places to visit.
A wide variety of opportunities are waiting for you in the Uinta Mountains in northern and northeastern Utah. The opportunities range from lakes next to state Route 150 (the Mirror Lake Highway) that are stocked with fish weekly to backcountry lakes that you have to hike or ride a horse to reach.
"The lakes next to Route 150 are great places to take your family fishing," Birdsey says.
However, if you're willing to "travel off the beaten path," a unique experience is waiting for you. In 2012, the DWR started stocking golden trout in the Uintas.
"These fish, native to California, are some of the most colorful of all trout," Birdsey says. "Starting in 2012, they were reintroduced to several lakes in the Uintas."
While you won't catch a fish that's trophy-sized, you will have a chance to catch one of the most unique fish in the state. You can see where golden trout have been stocked by visiting the DWR's online stocking report at https://dwrapps.utah.gov/fishstocking/Fish.
The lakes that have received golden trout are available in the 2012, 2013 and 2014 stocking reports.
The lakes on the Boulder Mountains in southern Utah are usually harder to reach than those on the Uintas. But the lakes on the Boulders also produce bigger fish. "Some of the lakes on the Boulder Mountains provide really, really nice fish," Birdsey says.
Birdsey provides the following tips to help you catch fish and have a great experience:
Fish early in the morning or later in the day
Birdsey says trout rely mostly on their eyes to find prey. That fact directly affects when you should fish for them.
"Trout feed most actively when they can see their prey clearly," Birdsey says, "but too much sunlight exposes them to predators."
For that reason, Birdsey says early morning and before the sun goes down at night are the perfect times to fish. "There's enough light for the trout to see their prey but not enough light to make the trout highly visible to predators," he says.
Birdsey says fly fishing with a pattern that imitates a leech is one of the best ways to catch trout on the Uintas and the Boulders. Leech patterns in brown, black or olive drab usually work best.
Paying attention to the type of insects that are hatching, and then "matching the hatch" by using a fly that imitates the insects, is another effective fly fishing technique.
If you'd rather fish with spinning gear, spinners are great lures to try. Birdsey recommends a Mepps, Panther Martin or Blue Fox spinner in sizes #0 or #1.
Use spinners that are gold, black or silver in color.
Birdsey says brook, cutthroat and tiger trout are the trout you'll usually find on the Uintas and the Boulders. "All of these species are more aggressive than the rainbow trout most anglers are used to catching," he says. "A lure that flashes quickly through the water�like a spinner�is something brooks, cutthroats and tigers will go after."
If you enjoy fishing with bait, Birdsey says nightcrawlers are usually the best bait to use. You can cast the nightcrawler, and then let it sink to the bottom of the water you're fishing. Or, you can cast it and a bobber, and let the nightcrawler dangle two or three feet under the bobber. "Whichever way you fish it," he says, "don't let the nightcrawler just sit there. Cast it out, and then slowly reel it in."
No matter which tactic you use, if you haven't gotten a bite within 20 minutes, change what you're doing. Try a different fly, lure or bait, switch how quick or slow you're reeling your bait or lure in, or move to a different location.
Birdsey says you should bring the following with you:
Some of the high-elevation waters, especially those close to Route 150, attract a lot of anglers. Unfortunately, they also attract a lot of trash. Birdsey encourages you to leave the area better than you found it.
"In addition to picking up your own trash, including fishing line and fishing tackle," he says, "bring along an extra garbage bag, and pick up the trash others have left behind."
Maps of both the Uintas and the Boulders are another good information source. You can buy them at the DNR Map & Bookstore and U.S. Forest Service offices. The best topographical maps to buy are 7.5 minute quad maps.
You can also learn more about fishing the Uintas and the Boulders, and stay current on fishing conditions and success, by reading the DWR's weekly fishing reports. The reports are available at www.wildlife.utah.gov/hotspots.
Online fishing forums, such as bigfishtackle.com and utahwildlife.net, are also good places to get information. Sporting goods stores are also good places to contact.
If you have questions about fishing lakes in the Uintas, call the DWR office in Ogden at 801-476-2740 or the DWR office in Vernal at 435-781-9453.
If you have questions about fishing lakes on the Boulders, call the DWR office in Cedar City at 435-865-6100.

Who is he?
Gianluigi is quite a contradictory character, thanks to the influence of two numbers that are in opposition with each other, the 1 and the 2. This duality is expressed by a dichotomy of independence and dependence, dominance and compliance, activity and passivity. If this delicate balance is aggravated the result could be a situation of inner-conflict and feelings of confusion. His cyclothymic personality is observable as he goes through phases of activity, daring, enthusiasm and confidence... followed by a phase characterised by doubt, anxiety, apathy and indifference. If he can learn to control and harmonize these antagonistic tendencies he will realize that he is endowed with an abundance of internal treasures. You could say that he is an iron fist in a velvet glove. Paradoxically, Gianluigi oscillates between self-sacrifice and egocentricity. He conceals his sensitive nature behind a frosty facade that one could easily mistake for aloofness or contempt. He chooses his activities according to his mood, his feeling in the moment and the people around him. Gianluigi is in fact acutely receptive and easily influenced. As a child he is very emotional and can be torn between his need for autonomy and freedom, (accentuated if his birthday falls in January or in May, if he was born on one of the following dates: 1st, 5th, 10th, 14th, 19th, 23rd or 28th, or if his life Path Number is 1 or 5) and a heavy dependence on his family and the family home (if he was born in February, November, on the 2nd, 11th, 20th or 29th of the month, or if his life Path Number is 2). He could even have difficulty 'cutting the apron strings´. Ideally his upbringing should be flexible and provide affection and emotional security without being over-protective. He must learn about the importance of responsibility, especially in the family environment. This is a young man who can be extremely protective towards his brothers and sisters. Always eager to please, pay him a compliment and you will surely see him blush.
What does he like?
A bit of a show off, he loves attention and admiration. Luckily, he is the embodiment of charm and elegance. A perfectionist at heart, he wants to be the leading man in the musical of life and has great ambition, no doubt about it. Where his love life is concerned, his sweetheart should be good at telepathy, because Gianluigi loves to keep people guessing. He, on the other hand, has great insight into the workings of others´ minds and is extremely attentive, although he answers to nobody´s law but his own. He must learn to preserve the equilibrium between dependence and independence, and realize that each person is 'supreme´ in their own particular area of expertise.

What does he do?
He is drawn to the creative and esthetic occupations, all those involving listening and giving advice, to professions requiring cooperation, collaboration and association (mediator, teacher), a career necessitating painstaking attention (accounting), to psychology or even parapsychology.

Apple is the most recognized brand in the world; Apple's products, specifically the iPhone, are in high demand. And yet, Android phones have started outselling iPhones in the U.S., according to comScore. Why? Google's widely distributed Android OS rules the smartphone platform. Several different providers offer several different types of service, alongside Android phones that are offered at many different price points. While Apple selects its providers, and only Apple makes the iPhone.
Apple and Android face off in the Smartphone Wars.
That's why analysts expect Apple to release more than one type of iPhone to address the problem of market share, making the iPhone even more accessible. In addition to the iPhone 5, Apple is expected to release a cheaper iPhone 4, too.
Possible iPhone 5 features:
- Memory. More memory, possibly 1GB of memory, which is twice the amount currently offered in the iPhone 4.
- Higher-resolution. 8-megapixel (the current phones have 5 megapixel's worth).
- Near-Field Communication (NFC). Use your Google Wallet.
- Voice Control. Call home using voice navigation.
- Graphics. Improved and similar to the graphics silicon used in the iPad 2. Imagination's PowerVR SGX543.
- Dual-core Apple A5 chip. A boost in processing performance.
- 3G. A Qualcomm chipset is expected that supports both CDMA and GSM networks.
- 4G. Via HSPA+.
- iCloud. Synching the phone might also be done through Apple's cloud service.
- iOS 5. New iOS with iMessage, tabbed browsing and lots more.
In addition to the Apple App Store, iTunes and whole host of features, the iPhone has 200 of them powering iOS 5. Also expect the introduction of iCloud to play a part.
A computer-generated graphic of the iPhone 5.
Everyone wants an iPhone, including T-Mobile customers. CEO Cole Brodman recently shared his disappointment in a letter that explained the company hadn't been selected as an iPhone provider yet. The Chief Marketing Officer for T-Mobile explained his own frustration with Apple and knew the announcement would make customers unhappy.
Droid Does
The Android OS and droid phones support 4G. A phone like the Samsung Galaxy S 2 has an incredibly vivid and larger display than the iPhone. Droid phones also have great features. The Motorola Droid Bionic has a dual-core Texas Instruments' OMAP4 processor. It has proved to be a very popular phone in its own right. While both Apple and Android phones support streaming video and audio apps like Hulu, Netflix and Pandora, Droid phones have better audio output and larger displays than iPhone.
App and game development for Google Android devices has certainly become increasingly popular with more games and apps being released ever day. Still, Apple's App Store and iTunes are well established, offer more apps, games and overall content and are loved by millions.
Some tech-savvy users might say they want the display and many phone options of the Android platform, while having the support and use of Apple's App Store and iTunes. Unfortunately, you can't have both. iPhones and their apps integrate with other Apple devices. For that reason and a few others (including iTunes), for the moment, we'll hold onto our iPhones and remain in line for the iPhone 5.

Cleveland Administrator Launches College Tours for Parents
Tracy Hill
Focus of Strength: Parent Engagement
Position: Executive Director, Office of Family and Community Engagement
District: Cleveland Metropolitan School District
Working with parents comes naturally to Tracy Hill.
The Cleveland schools administrator began her teaching career 24 years ago working with the families of children whose behavior problems made it difficult for them to attend traditional public schools. Both inside and outside the classroom, she immediately learned that parents play a pivotal role in their children's future academic and social success.
"You can't just treat the child," Ms. Hill said. "You have to work with the family as well."
As parent-engagement strategies gain momentum in districts across the nation, the long-held belief that parents are problems or obstacles to be overcome, rather than partners in learning, remains a challenge.
In the 40,000-student Cleveland school system, however, Ms. Hill is being praised for methodically building a systemic approach to ensure that parents are educated and engaged at every stage of their children's academic journey.
Under Ms. Hill's direction as the district's executive director of family and community engagement, Cleveland schools are in the midst of a cultural shift when it comes to parents. Rather than an afterthought, parent input is sought early and often and at all levels in this urban district in northeastern Ohio—whether it's for systemwide school improvement plans or implementation of new statewide reading benchmarks.
"There's not a parent out there who wakes up in the morning and says, 'I'm going to screw up my child,' " Ms. Hill said emphatically. "Parents who want to be involved just need someone who will show them the way."
Among the administrator's most successful parent-engagement undertakings are the Parent University College Tours, which provides parents a much-needed firsthand look at postsecondary opportunities available to their children. For many Cleveland parents, the tours may be their first time visiting a college campus. (All Cleveland students come from families with incomes low enough to qualify them for federal free and reduced-price school lunches.)
"We assume our parents know" how to support students' learning, said Ms. Hill, the 50-year-old mother of a Cleveland Heights, Ohio, high school student and a college sophomore at the Cleveland Institute of Art. "What if they don't know? Is it a crime to let them know? Whose job is it to let them know?"
Voice for Families
For more than three years, Ms. Hill has passionately become Cleveland parents' advocate and self-described servant. It's a role that she's relished throughout her career, which began at the Positive Education Program in Cleveland, where she taught and counseled students whose behavior made it difficult for them to succeed in traditional schools. Later, she worked as a coordinator for a center dedicated to strengthening families and preparing young children for school in a nearby suburb.
With that experience in mind, Ms. Hill sought to transform how Cleveland schools reach out to parents. She spent part of her first year with the district visiting and researching other school systems, such as Boston, with successful parent-engagement initiatives already under way. She also joined the District Leaders Network on Family and Community Engagement, which was founded in 2010 at the Institute for Educational Leadership, a Washington-based nonprofit that supports school improvement and education initiatives.
S. Kwesi Rollins, the institute's director of leadership programs, noted that Ms. Hill quickly emerged as one of the network's leaders and mentors. He said the Cleveland educator has successfully learned how to operationalize the best practices in family engagement to improve student achievement in her city.
Ms. Hill launched the district's Parent University, a series of workshops aimed at providing parents with information and guidance on topics ranging from the common-core standards to children's transition to kindergarten. Since its inception in 2011, more than 1,500 parents and other caregivers have attended the sessions, which are part of a growing array of efforts to build the capacity of parents and caregivers to become informed advocates and partners in their children's education.
The emphasis on equipping parents with knowledge is infused throughout district events, and Ms. Hill said the responsibility to engage and inform parents rests with all educators—from the custodian to the principal.
Beyond 'Fluff'
Ms. Hill, who leads a team of six employees, said parent events in Cleveland are no longer "just fluff and stuff." Having Donuts With Dads at a school, for example, provides a captive audience to give parents reading tips or information about the latest instructional strategies, she said. At the district's Back-to-School Fair last fall, families received the customary free school supplies, and about 1,000 parents also attended 15 Parent University workshops.
Last spring, under Ms. Hill's guidance, and in partnership with the nonprofit group College Now Greater Cleveland, Parent University's free college tours involved more than 300 parents, caregivers, and students, who visited 18 colleges and universities in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
Often, the college tours—which include extensive admissions and financial-aid information along with meetings with college recruiters—did more than demystify the college-enrollment process. One parent enrolled in college herself following the tours, and others have shown interest in following suit, Ms. Hill said.
Michele Scott Taylor, a chief program officer with College Now Greater Cleveland, added that parents sometimes unintentionally derail a child's interest in college because they know little about the process. Exposing parents to the college experience, accompanied by their children, helps them all envision the possibilities of pursuing a postsecondary education, she said.
Injecting New Perspective
In addition to Ms. Hill's extensive efforts to educate and inform parents, administrators are seeking parents' guidance to reach more families.
Karen Thompson, Cleveland's deputy chief of curriculum and instruction, said she often presents material from her department to Ms. Hill's parent-advisory committee. She said the parent feedback helps prevent district-penned information from getting bogged down in education jargon.
Ms. Thompson added that Ms. Hill is a fixture at every district-level academic meeting and attends weekly administrator walk-throughs at school sites, providing the parents' perspective to every discussion.
"She invited herself to the table," Ms. Thompson noted. "She didn't have to do that."
Ms. Hill, who considers herself "the voice of the parents," wouldn't have it any other way. During district leadership meetings, she said she frequently asks the following question: "How are we engaging our families around this work so that we can be successful? Because you are not going to do it without them."
Yet she is the first to acknowledge that the Cleveland district is a work in progress.
The district this year set up a Family Engagement Executive Committee, bringing together departments and offices that interact with parents (special education, gifted programs, and student services, for example) to further align their work and ensure that parents are engaged in those efforts. Ms. Hill also will host more Parent University workshops at schools and community centers to increase parents' attendance.
And she plans to continue to recruit more school- and district-level staff members to help strengthen her parent-outreach work.
"It's not just one person's job to engage families; it's everybody's job," Ms. Hill emphasized. "We are all responsible for building that trust."

Upcoming dramas and my thoughts
Someone said to me on Formspring that they noticed I've been reblogging a lot of Exo on Tumblr, and if that means I'm "back" into K-pop. I guess you can say that based on my K-pop activity as of late. I started watching dramas religiously mid-2009-ish onwards and while I still knew what happened to groups, I didn't follow anyone intensely and then my energy for K-pop seriously took a hit in 2010 when 1) the dramas got even better and 2) DBSK split.
It's May and maybe there will be an upswing of things in the second part of the year, but 2012 has been extremely disappointing in terms of drama quality and output. This seems to be the year of cable, which offers a healthy number of alternatives, but that's not enough to take away the extremely bad taste that MBC, KBS, and SBS have left in my mouth thus far. It's drama after drama of mediocrity and sometimes it's even dipping into feces territory -_-
So there are a ton of dramas in the horizon that are in the midst of production, or at the very least, have casts and I thought I'd weigh in on what I think of them before they premiere.
…And guess what? The rest of 2012 ain't looking too hot either. With that little to work with, reblogging awkward screencaps of half-blinking Kris and Hangeng occupying the same space, gifs of Kyungsoo choking on water, etc. seem necessary.

In its ongoing quest to gain a nationwide profile, registered investment advisory group HighTower has opened two new offices in Los Angeles and Baltimore, adding breakaway advisors with more than $1 billion of assets under management.
Chicago-headquartered HighTower announced Tuesday that Leo Kelly and Brian Grumbach, formerly of the Kelly Group at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management, joined HighTower as managing directors and partners on Feb. 17. Kelly and team currently manage $700 million of client assets and will lead HighTower's expansion into the Baltimore market.
The second office opening, also on Feb. 17, brings HighTower's expansion into the Los Angeles area. James Hausberg, formerly a managing director at The Presidio Group, also joined HighTower as managing director and partner. Hausberg currently manages $400 million of client assets and will lead HighTower's expansion in the Los Angeles area. Prior to joining the Presidio Group in 2005, Hausberg worked at Bear Stearns and Credit Suisse in wealth advisory positions.
"HighTower achieved a new milestone today," said Mike Papedis (left), executive vice president of business development in a statement released Tuesday. "On-boarding two new teams on both coasts on the same day is just another example of our increasing execution capabilities."
Barron's has tapped Kelly for its list of Top 1000 Advisors every year since its inception in 2009. While at Merrill, he was senior portfolio manager in the firm's Personal Investment Advisory Program.
"I considered several options and determined that joining HighTower is better for my clients, better for my team, and better for my family," said Kelly in a statement. "I'm looking forward to serving my clients and providing them with all the advantages HighTower offers."
HighTower is an advisor-owned financial services company serving high net worth and institutional clients.

FARMINGTON — Moose Mountains Regional Greenways (MMRG) and the Farmington Conservation Commission (CC) will co-sponsor a free presentation called "Karner Blues and Cottontails" from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 28 at the Old Town Hall, 531 Main St.
Guest speaker Heidi Holman, a wildlife biologist at the NH Fish and Game Department, will show slides and talk about endangered Karner blue butterflies and threatened New England cottontail rabbits. Light refreshments will be served.
The federally endangered Karner blue butterfly was extirpated from New Hampshire in 2000 due to loss of the pine barrens habitat that supports wild blue lupine, the sole food source for caterpillars which develop into Karner blues. A restored habitat of approximately 500 acres around the Concord Municipal Airport is now serving as a reintroduction site for the species. The New England cottontail, New Hampshire's only native rabbit, has become increasing rare over the last 50 years, also primarily due to loss of suitable habitat. Dense thickets and young forests provide essential Cottontail cover and food but the New Hampshire landscape now consists mostly of mature tree stands or mowed fields. The "in-between" habitat favored by NE cottontails is also desirable for traditional game species such as woodcock, ruffed grouse, turkey and other declining species.
Heidi Holman will address the whys and hows of restoring the habitats of these native species.
She has a master's degree in Conservation Biology from the University of Minnesota. After working with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, she joined NH Fish and Game in 2005. Habitat management such as prescribed burning, control of invasive plants, and native plant restoration has been a major part of her work, in addition to managing captive breeding and reintroduction of Karner blue butterflies and New England cottontails to New Hampshire.
Pre-registration is helpful for event planning but not required. For more information and to register, please call MMRG Education Coordinator Kari Lygren at 603-978-7125 or email email@example.com or contact the Farmington CC at email@example.com.
MMRG, a non-profit land conservation organization, works to conserve and connect important water resources, farm and forest lands, wildlife habitats, and recreational land in Brookfield, Farmington, Middleton, Milton, New Durham, Wakefield, and Wolfeboro. Throughout the year, MMRG offers many educational opportunities to inform all ages about the benefits of our region's natural resources. For more information and a calendar of outreach events, visit www.mmrg.info.
The Farmington CC is comprised of town volunteers. The Commission works to acquire and conserve town open spaces and waterways, in accordance with the Farmington Town Master Plan, using funds from the town current use tax.

Someday your home might be nice and cool in the middle of July without air conditioning. How? Some Stanford researchers have created a solar panel that cools buildings in direct sunlight.
To achieve this goal, a panel has to reflect (rather than absorb) as much sunlight as possible, as well as radiate heat back into the building. Stanford's invention does both:
It is an effective broadband mirror for solar light—it reflects most of the sunlight. It also emits thermal radiation very efficiently within the crucial wavelength range needed to escape Earth's atmosphere.
The panels are a combination of both a thermal emitter and a solar reflector. And the team of researchers is the first to achieve this type of sustainable cooling during daytime hours by engineering nanostructured photonic materials—forms of light radiation—to either enhance or suppress light at different wavelengths. The result? A device that can cool 100 watts per square meter. In practical terms, that means you could have 10 percent of your roof covered with solar panels, but they would offset about 35 percent of the AC you'd need during the most sweltering days of summer. Which sounds sounds pretty cool to us. [Stanford News]

Huge retiree debt will sink cities
The recent bankruptcy filing in Detroit is raising red flags about other major U.S. cities also dealing with billions in under-funded retiree benefits, prompting the question — who might be next?
Just last week, Chicago's credit rating was downgraded as a result of its $19 billion in under-funded pension liabilities.
Moody's Investors Service called the liabilities "very large and growing" and warned that Chicago, the country's third-largest city, faces a "tremendous strain'' in trying to meet future funding requirements and public safety demands.
A similar scenario, though decades in the making, largely doomed Detroit, whose average police response time has grown to more than 50 minutes.
And like Michigan, which appears in no position to bail out Detroit, Illinois is dealing with its own $97 billion pension shortfall.
To be sure, other smaller cities have filed for bankruptcy, most notably California's Stockton and San Bernardino in 2012. No other city of Detroit's size appears to be on the cusp of imminent financial collapse.
However, those bankruptcy filings together have resulted in speculation about whether more are on the horizon.
"I would hope cities are looking at their under-funded liabilities and the health care costs associated with future and current retirees," Michael LaFaive, director of fiscal policy at the Michigan-based Mackinac Center for Public Policy, told FoxNews.com.
Timothy Blake, managing director of Moody's Investor Services, told Reuters that cities successfully cutting debt and other liabilities in bankruptcy court might lead to more filings.
"We have to acknowledge there is a trend," Blake said. "If the outcome is that they do reduce some of these liabilities, that could be an incentive for the filing."
However, Standard and Poor's, another top financial-analysis firm, called the Detroit filing "idiosyncratic" and "not as a symptom of a wider issue"
"We do not anticipate a contagion effect," S&P credit analyst Jane Hudson Ridley wrote after Detroit filed Thursday.
S&P officials also told FoxNews.com on Monday the firm thinks governments have a strong capacity and willingness to repay their debt despite some financial headwinds, that bankruptcy will limit access to credit markets and that municipalities cannot dismantle themselves, like companies do, to pay off debts.
Other cities now on the radar include Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Portland, Ore., and Santa Fe, N.M. — following Moody's saying in April that they and 11 other municipalities were being reviewed for a possible credit downgrade, the result of a new analysis system that further considers pension liabilities.
Though much of the national concerns have focused on pension liabilities, heath care costs for retired municipal employees pose an equally if not larger problem.
Amid the $18.5 billion in long-term debt that led Detroit to file for bankruptcy is roughly $3.5 billion in under-funded pension liabilities. However, roughly $5.7 billion of that debt is health care costs and so-called "other post-employment benefits."
The situation is highlighted a Pew Charitable Trusts Study of 61 major U.S. cities that found they collectively had enough money to cover 74 percent of pension liabilities but only 6 percent of health care liabilities.
The total difference between what the cities owed to retired employees and what was covered equaled $217.2 billion, according the report, "A Widening Gap in Cities." It was released in January and based on 2009 numbers, the most complete data at the time.
The nonprofit group also released a report in March that found New York City has a combined $1.15 billion in under-funded pension and health-care costs, followed by such major cities as Philadelphia, at $8.6 billion. In comparison, that figure for Detroit was $12.9 billion.
Baltimore is also among the most under funded cities regarding retiree health care, when considering how much it would cost individual households. The amount is $10, 208 per household.

Support for Enbridge's $7.9-billion Northern Gateway pipeline has dropped to 38 per cent in B.C. but remains much higher in Alberta, according to a new Insights West poll.
The Vancouver-based pollster began tracking support for the mega-project in January 2013, when a survey found 35 per cent of British Columbians supported the project and 61 per cent were opposed. Support increased to 42 per cent in November 2013, but has dropped by four per cent in the latest online survey of 647 British Columbians from June 17 to 21. The Alberta poll surveyed 617 Albertans.
In B.C., 49 per cent of residents are opposed to the project, which received approval from the federal government on June 17.
In Alberta, the numbers are much different: 65 per cent of residents back the project (down from 75 per cent in January 2013), while only 19 per cent are opposed (up slightly from 18 per cent).
B.C. versus Alberta
How the two provinces compare on some major issues:
Are you worried about the expected increase in oil tanker traffic?
Alberta: 73%
Are you worried about the risk of an oil spill?
Alberta: 66%
Do you believe the pipeline will support economic growth?
Alberta: 89%
Do you believe it will create new jobs?
Alberta: 88%
Source: Insights West poll
Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said the poll shows that even after federal government approval, the needle did not move in favour of the project in B.C. And despite the acknowledgment in B.C. that there will be economic benefits, those are trumped by significant environmental concerns, Canseco said.
"British Columbians remain concerned about oil spills, increased tanker traffic and the environmental impact of construction," he said.
Canseco also noted that strong opposition in B.C. (29 per cent) surpasses strong support (14 per cent).
Canseco said a key issue that has emerged is that 68 per cent of British Columbians are concerned about the project's effect on First Nations, according to the poll.
"If we saw people saying the aboriginal issue was at the bottom of the list of things we are rating, then you could argue it's not something that is top of mind for B.C. residents, they may not care about it that much, but it's way up there," Canseco said.
The poll was conducted before a landmark Supreme Court of Canada decision was released June 26 which broadened First Nations land rights and is expected to have an effect on projects such as Northern Gateway.
The poll also found the notion of holding a plebiscite where registered voters get to have a say on Northern Gateway is regarded as a good idea by 63 per cent of British Columbians.
If such a plebiscite was to take place, 48 per cent of British Columbians would vote no, according to the poll.
Results have a margin of error of plus or minus 4.3 percentage points for B.C. and 4.1 percentage points for Alberta, 19 times out of 20.
