USDA is surveying more than 16,000 U.S. farmers seeking their input on best options to manage the wheat and barley disease fusarium head blight, or scab.
The U.S. Wheat and Barley Scab Initiative expects to receive results of the survey by June 30. The initiative is working with USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service.
"We want to know what they have heard abut techniques for managing the disease, to what extent they are adopting those techniques and, if not, what prevents them from using those techniques more," said Christina Cowger, small grains pathologist for USDA Agricultural Research Service at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, N.C.
The initiative is surveying farmers in 17 states. The Pacific Northwest is not included in the survey because generally, there is not as much scab in the region, Cowger said. It has begun to pop up in Idaho, especially under irrigated circles.
The fungus that causes the disease overwinters in corn and small grain residue on the soil surface. If weather is rainy and mild to warm before flowering, it causes the fungus to mature and eject spores, which infect wheat and barley heads.
"It causes enormous damage when the head is infected, because it can reduce yield and lower the test weight," Cowger said. "Scab has an enormous effect on the profitability of wheat and barley farming."
Scab epidemics in the upper Midwest caused tens of millions of dollars in damage per year in the 1990s, she said, disrupting bread wheat, pasta wheat and barley production. With increases in corn production and low-till/no-till production farming, chances of epidemics each year have escalated in the eastern United States, she said.
It also produces a vomitoxin that may cause vomiting and feed refusal in non-ruminant animals like pigs, according to North Dakota State University Extension Service.
The survey asks growers about varieties they've planted recently, fungicides used specifically against scab and whether they're using a risk forecasting tool set up by Pennsylvania State University.
The survey expects replies by March 17. Surveyors will contact farmers by telephone who don't send in their questionnaires, Cowger said.
"Every response is really valuable to us because we need feedback from producers and advisors in order to figure out what people are doing, why are they not adopting recommendations more widely and what can we do to better help them manage the disease," she said.
Funding for the initiative comes through the USDA ARS. Cowger said the initiative receives an average of $5 million funding each year for research, including breeding and more effective management techniques.

Thursday marked the 80th anniversary of the legendary robbery/murder in Sherman by Clyde Barrow. The infamous bandit of the Bonnie and Clyde duo is said to have killed a store clerk.
But 80 years later, historians - like Austin College history professor Dr. Light Cummins - no longer believe Clyde was the robber.
"Digital research and the availability on the internet and the availability to consult jail records, arrest records, and other search documents made it possible for historians to conclusively prove that Clyde Barrow was not at Sherman at the time of the robbery," he said.
He said about 15 years ago, historians began to doubt Clyde's involvement.
"They however weren't even in the area at the time," he said. "Clyde and Bonnie were on their way back from Michigan."
But someone did rob The Little Grocery Store, which stood on the corner of Vaden and Wells. And he killed Howard Hall, a store clerk who was trying to prevent the robbery. Cummins said the day after the robbery, witnesses identified the gunman as Clyde - and that's all it took.
"Bonnie and Clyde were big news, so most of the papers across the United States reported this robbery as the work of the Barrow gang," he said.
But Cummins said the duo did frequent the area - and may have had a few hideouts here.
Joe Pollaro, a Denison resident, said one of the legendary hideaways is on his property.
He said he and his family like to imagine Bonnie and Clyde sitting around the fireplace.
"We've even speculated that they have a little stash on the side where they would go under and stash their money," he said. "I think my sons have already been down there checking it out."
Pollaro said the History Channel even re-enacted the Bonnie and Clyde shootout here a few years ago.
But even he admits that there's no way to know for sure whether clyde was the true killer - or if he ever spent a night at the bungalow.
"It could be myth, I don't know, it could be total fiction," he said.
Cummins said Bonnie and Clyde sightings were always popular, especially in this area.
"When it comes to Bonnie and Clyde, one can even say they're the Southwest version of 'George Washington slept here,'" he said.
Regardless of the legends, Bonnie and Clyde do have a major tie to Grayson County. Cummins said a former Grayson County sheriff - and Sherman resident - was the man who ultimately took down the infamous duo.

It is possible that the main title of the report Endomyocardial Fibrosis is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a progressive disease of unknown origin (idiopathic) that may seriously affect the heart. Its most obvious feature is a gross change in the makeup of the lining of the heart cavities (the endocardium) of one or both of the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles) leading to the replacement of normal cells with fibrous tissue (fibrosis). This process is progressive and leads to the narrowing (constriction) of the right or left ventricular cavities. It may involve the valves between the chambers of the heart as well as the tendon-like cords that fix the valves to the ventricles (chordae tendineae).
Loeffler's disease is a disease of the heart much like endomyocardial fibrosis. Some clinicians regard it as an early stage of EMF, although this idea remains controversial. Loeffler's disease is a rare disorder of unknown origin, characterized by abnormal increases in the number of particular white blood cells (eosinophilia), and like EMF, gross fibrosis of the endocardium, and inflammation of small blood vessels (arteritis).

Maxis has announced that it has launched Spore Islands, a new Facebook game which invites users to compete against each other in the ultimate survival of the fittest.
"In Spore Islands, players get to invite friends in their social web to play on their island, so creating this game exclusively for Facebook was a natural choice for us since they are the largest and most popular social platform for games," stated Caryl Shaw, Senior Producer, Spore Islands. "What sets Spore Islands apart from other social games is that it offers a different kind of social interactivity where a player's gameplay experience is directly affected by the choices and decisions their friends make. It's an ongoing game, so player's creatures and islands will be active at all times, whether the player is logged into Facebook or not."
In Spore Islands users choose their own island to live on, create creatures and evolve them, invite friends to live on their island, and send their own creatures to friends' islands, all in a quest to dominate as many islands as possible.
Spore Islands can be played at: facebook.com/sporeislands.

Change of cassette Mountainbike
If the cassette needs to be removed, for example to clean parts or to remove the sprocket protector follow these simple instructions:
1. Remove the rear wheel from the frame and the quick release from the wheel. Fit the cassette tool into the axle and wrap the chain whip around the largest or second largest sprocket ring. The chain whip needs be mounted in the direct that will prevent the freehub from turning anti clockwise while removing the cassette.
2. Using a suitable spanner on the cassette tool undo the lockring whilst at the same time holding against the chain whip. You can now slide the cassette off the free hub.
3. To reattach the cassette you don't need to use the chain whip. Apply a light film of grease to the freehub and slide the cassette back on in the correct order. Check that all the spacers are positioned correctly. Now screw the lockring onto the thread of the freehub being careful not cross thread either part. Tighten the lockring using the cassette tool and a torque wrench to the specified 40 Nm.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Dan Goehl, DVM, and his wife own and operate Canton Veterinary Clinic in Canton, MO, where Dan works primarily with stocker and cow/calf beef operations.
Receiving and managing high-risk, unweaned, nonvaccinated calves is a challenge that some producers use to their advantage. These "starter yards" take the discounts that this class of cattle receives at market and upgrade the calves to a better class of cattle. One of the most underutilized tools in these operations, unfortunately, is record keeping and data analysis.
At times, there is more art than science involved in keeping cattle healthy and finding sick animals that need to be treated. If pen riders wait for outright signs of bovine respiratory disease—rapid breathing, foaming mouth, nasal discharge and lethargy—the animals are often beyond successful treatment.
The key is to pick out animals at the earliest onset of disease, a difficult task in a pen of calves that is not bunk broke and unsettled due to not being weaned. Records give us a data set to go back to and evaluate how well we did on a set of calves or during a season.
All treatment records should be kept so the producer knows exactly when a calf was treated and with what product. We enforce a post-treatment moratorium on antibiotic injections, so it is important to know the day of treatment and when calves are eligible to be treated again. Most of the time, treated calves go back into the home pen unmarked. I prefer to not mark them, as this can affect how a person identifies and decides to treat a sick calf.
Instead, we write down ID numbers unbiased by previous knowledge and check records for eligibility. Records also help create trigger points so we know when to be more aggressive, such as when to mass treat a pen.
At the end of the feeding period, we look at morbidity, mortality, treatment failure, retreatment rate, days on feed at treatment, etc. It is not always about how many cattle were treated. In a pen with a high percentage of the animals treated, we look at the percentage of animals that responded as well as the percentage that was re-treated.

Ana Mendez, a Lamar University dietetics major from Marshall, breaks down language barriers. Her goal is to deliver patients the information they need to stay healthy in a way that is easy to digest.
Mendez's interest in dietetics came when her mother developed gestational diabetes during a pregnancy. A native of Monclova, Coahuila, Mexico, her mother spoke little English and asked Mendez, who was 14 years old, to interpret for her and her doctors.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event.

Fifty years ago, African-Americans and fellow progressives hailed Brown v. Board of Education as a conclusive turning point in the struggle for racial equality. NAACP chief counsel Thurgood Marshall predicted the end of all school segregation within five years, and the NAACP adopted the slogan "free by '63." White supremacists unsurprisingly denounced the decision, but prominent academics and jurists also criticized Brown for rejecting history, endorsing social psychology and espousing judicial supremacy.
Fifty years after Brown, the battle lines are reversed. Prominent African-American figures now criticize Brown as a "failure," and liberal legal scholars claim the ruling contributed little or nothing to the black freedom struggle of the 1950s and '60s. Conservative commentators and judges, for their part, now avidly praise Brown, celebrating it as a landmark victory that paved the way to a "colorblind" America.
This paradoxical turnabout is not a singular phenomenon. Consider, for example, how each January the Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday now elicits a largely ho-hum response from proponents of racial justice. In contrast, right-wing politicians like President George W. Bush consistently use the anniversary for wreath-laying photo-ops designed to advertise their anti-racist credentials.
Should conservatives be blamed for trying to appropriate the Brown decision and the King holiday as deceptive window-dressing for their own present-day political goals? Or should liberals instead ask whether onetime supporters of Brown and of King have so loosened their own embrace of two of the freedom struggle's greatest legacies as to make them easily available for uncontested capture by their opponents?
Failure to extol the democratic socialist King, who harshly decried America's military adventurism abroad, leaves him vulnerable to the sort of selective quotation ("not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character") that allows conservatives to kidnap his birthday. Fortunately with King, there are excellent new books, such as Drew Hansen's The Dream and Stewart Burns's To the Mountaintop, as well as earlier biographies, that utterly rebut this historical hijacking.
Brown has not been as fortunate. Most of the long shelfload of books published on the occasion of the decision's fiftieth anniversary focus on the narrowest aspect of Brown's legacy–school desegregation–and overlook the broader and more far-reaching way in which Brown revolutionized the role of courts in American life. Some of these books offer fashionable dismissals of Brown, which, like the belittling of King by radicals, can have tangibly harmful consequences in the wider political culture. For if Brown was a "failure," then aggressive judicial protection of civil rights and liberties in other contexts is likewise more open to disparagement and attack.

Hannibal City Council approves demolition of buildings on sewage treatment plant
As the Hannibal Board of Public Works takes steps to extend the life of its wastewater treatment plant, the city is about to do away with the current facility's predecessor. On Tuesday night the City Council approved a recommendation that would see most, if not all, of the former plant's buildings taken down.
Located on an 8.1 acre plat of city-owned land near where Bear Creek meets the Mississippi River, the old plant has been a city concern for years.
"Vandals and others get into these buildings, creating ongoing safety hazards," wrote City Manager Jeff LaGarce in a memo to the Council, noting that earlier this fall two children became "stuck" for a time in one of the buildings before being safely removed.
The site features three structures. At least two would be removed.
"There is one large, round building that may remain, but is inaccessible for persons to enter, and is full of sand," wrote LaGarce, adding that if possible he would like to see the circular building removed as well.
The initial thought at city hall is that the demo work could be accomplished by Street Department personnel.
"This would be an excellent cold-weather project, and aside from asbestos testing and possible abatement, we shouldn't have any out-of-pocket cost associated with it," explained LaGarce, noting the site is not in the city's historic district.
While willing to have the Street Department perform the work, LaGarce is open to the idea of allowing a private contractor do the job provided its compensation was solely salvage rights of the stone structures.
"We'd prefer a private entity complete this work for the salvage value, but are perfectly willing to do so ourselves, if private interests are lacking," wrote the city manager.
In other business:
• An audit of the city was presented by a Wade Stables representative. It was reported that General Fund revenue outdistanced expenditures by $438,601.
• Approval was given to making a bond payment not to exceed $123,080 on Friday, Dec. 28.
• The Council pre-approved a $55,450 claim of Roberts Demolition and Roll-off to be paid before the end of December, but after the residential flood buyout work is completed. By state policy, the project must be done by Dec. 31.
• The fifth and final change order from the Paris Gravel Road construction project was approved. The $10,965 revision is for quantities actually installed by Chester Bross Construction. According to City Engineer Mark Rees, the $700,000 project wound up "very close to what was budgeted."
• A $10,000 contract was approved with Poepping, Stone, Bach & Associates, Inc., to complete the city's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System application and develop a new storm water management plan.
• A bid of $877.78 from Chuck Anderson was accepted for sale of a 1990 Dodge pickup by the Street Department. His was the highest of five bids.
• A bill authorizing a municipal election on April 2, 2013, was given second and final reading. Up for election will be the job of mayor along with Council seats in the second, fourth and sixth wards.
• Final reading was given a bill adopting three documents pertaining to the Police & Fire Retirement Plan. The documents were included in a favorable determination letter from the IRS.
• The following appointments were approved: Doug Warren to the Historic Development District Commission for a term to expire in May 2017; Hal Benedict to the Hannibal Industrial Development Authority for a term to expire in January 2018.
• First reading was given a bill setting the amount of pay for a special Municipal Court judge.

Deer hunters throughout the country probably have stumbled upon a coyote-ravaged carcass or heard stories from friends about song dogs chasing whitetails or fawns.
By Alan Clemons, Southern Managing Editor
We've seen report after report, too, of studies about fawn predation, primarily by coyotes but also by bobcats. Coyotes are the prime culprit, however, due to their viciousness, cunning, intelligence and perseverance when stalking or chasing game.
If you're interested in learning how to hunt coyotes or already are a predator hunter, good for you. Not only are you helping manage your area's game populations but also know it's a load of fun. Coyotes are wily adversaries and no matter where you hunt, if you have coyotes, they're a challenging test of your calling and setup skills.
Here are a couple of tips to remember:
Wind, Concealment
Coyotes have an incredible sense of smell and eyesight, not to mention hearing, so your setup is critical to avoid detection or odor they may detect.
Full camo including gloves and face mask is critical. If you're hiding in dead vegetation, it's probably not good to wear green camo. Hanging out in the green woods? Avoid anything tan that offers a different look. Be smart.
Put the wind in your face and know the prevaling directions. Coyotes will come downwind to the sound of your calls or decoy. You don't want to give them an extra advantage by having your scent blowing to them even at a distance.
If you're using a mouth call like this one from Primos, put some emotion into it to sound like a dying rabbit. If you've ever heard a cat or dog snatch a cottontail you know that sucker screams like the world is ending. I guess it is for the rabbit. Remember that when you're calling.
Electronic calls are super because many of today's models, or almost all of them, can be controlled remotely. This ICOtec GC300 model is super for setting up away from your setup so a coyote or bobcat will be focused on it instead of you. All you have to do is activate it remotely and keep your peepers glued to any movement.
One other tip is to put the decoy and call together. I've hunted with guys who do this where vegetation allows them to cover the call but the decoy is visible. It's a dynamite way to get a predator focused on that decoy instead of you. Just remember to minimize your movement.
You can hunt predators without a decoy but it's a lot more fun to use one and tantalize a coyote's senses.
Some are just furry blobs that wiggle and move, like this Edge Quiver Critter that's favored by many hunters. Stick it in the ground and turn it on, and combined with good calling it'll help get the attention of a hungry yote.
Another with a little more realism is the Flambeau Rigor Rabbit decoy. I've used one of these for a few years and it's a champ. Set it out, brush it up around the base a little and turn it on. It quivers like a scared rabbit and then stops, then quivers again and stops. It's kind of spooky. Scared the heck out of my wife one morning when I stuck the rabbit around the corner of the bathroom and she saw it in the mirror.
If you're at deer camp or forgot your decoy, try this: rig a wire coat hanger with a white or tan feather tied on one end with a string. Stick it the other end in the ground so the feather is fluttering in the breeze about a foot off the ground. What is it? Who knows? But it'll get a coyote's attention.
Pick A Gun
Offering a recommendation about the best gun to use for a coyote is like trying to decide which slice of cake or pie to eat at the church social.
Shotguns? Good for close range or in the woods where a rifle bullet might deflect. I'd prefer a 12-gauge with something like Hevi-Shot Dead Coyote ammo, or even a load of No. 2 or buckshot (if legal; check your state regulations)
Rifle? Well, again, this is the cake vs. pie discussion. The .243 shoots flat and long, as does a .260 and .270. The .22-250 is a favorite of many predator hunters and even the .22 gets some attention, although I think a lot of hunters want something with a little more oomph.
Personally, I prefer at least a .223 for starters. Just my preference. I've killed coyotes with a .308 and .30-06 – they don't jump or yelp, either. My .243 bolt action is an old trusty that I enjoy shooting.
Modern Sporting Rifles are gaining attention for predators, too, like those from Rock River Arms and Mossberg's MMR Hunter in .223. Outfitted with adjustable stocks, foregrips, small but efficient optics like those from Trijicon or EO Tech … they're a hoot to hunt with and can be accessorized to fit your budget or desires.

Miguel Alejandro Santana confided to an undercover FBI agent that while growing up he was always easily influenced by people and longed to fit in, which is what attracted him to street gangs.
And it was why he converted to Islam, not knowing anything about it "besides it being the truth," according to an indictment filed Nov. 16 in U.S. District Court.
Federal prosecutors are alleging that Santana, 21, of Upland, and two other men – Arifeen David Gojali, 21, of Upland and Ralph Deleon, 23, of Ontario – planned to travel to Afghanistan to join al-Qaida or the Taliban and participate in terrorist training. The goal: Kill U.S. soldiers and target U.S. interests overseas.
Also charged is 34-year-old Sohiel Omar Kabir, a former Pomona resident and U.S. Air Force pilot accused of orchestrating the alleged terrorist plot and recruiting the three young men.
It is impressionable young men like Santana that recruiters for extremist terrorist or hate groups often target, said Brian Levin, a professor of criminal justice at Cal State San Bernardino and director of the university's Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism.
"It's folks who are looking for pure validation and also a higher calling as they enter their young adulthood and feel unfulfilled," said Levin. "They can go from working at a disappointing job or having minor scrapes with the law to going to something bigger. They not only get pure validation and identity, but a calling."
According to the indictment, filed Nov. 16 in U.S. District Court in Riverside, Kabir met Deleon and Santana in a hookah bar and introduced the two to the radical Islamist doctrine of Anwar al-Awalki, the former al-Qaida leader who died in September 2011 after being struck by a missile fired by a U.S. drone aircraft. Kabir reportedly also introduced them to jihadi videos and other media, including Inspire magazine, which aims to find recruits for al-Qaida in the U.S. and Europe.
Authorities were first tipped off on the alleged terrorist plot in January when U.S. Border Patrol agents caught Santana with a copy of Inspire magazine in his possession as he crossed the border into the U.S. from Mexico.
Santana later told the undercover FBI agent that he had participated in terrorist training in Mexico, according to the indictment.
Deleon and Santana later brought Gojali into the equation and sold him on the idea of traveling overseas, where they entertained the idea of fighting on the front lines as snipers or explosives experts, authorities said. Throughout 2012, the three reportedly exchanged messages with Kabir about their terrorist aspirations on social media sites, mainly Facebook.
The alleged pattern of activity carried out by the defendants, Levin said, fits an all-to-common pattern that extremist groups tend to follow.
"What we frequently see is a combination of personal contact that is aided by various extremist material on the Internet that relates to belief systems, folklore, targeted aggression and technical know-how," Levin said. "The Internet really plays a key role in the recruitment and radicalization of a sliver of young and impressionable Muslims living here in the U.S., many of who are converts."
In his most recent academic article titled "A New Breed of American Home Grown Internet Extremists Emerge," Levin says the danger posed by what he calls the "new provocateurs" is that the Internet has provided a tool to rapidly radicalize and connect an extremely small number of disenfranchised or unstable young people through membership in a virtual community.
"The protections that the First Amendment provides to expression in the United States as well as the disdain that radicals have for American policies and culture makes the nation a focus for a small but dangerous group of homegrown radical extremists that target small cells and lone wolves," Levin wrote in his article.
Since 9/11, Levin said, there have been more than 60 terrorist plots hatched involving similar methodologies, peaking in 2010.
"This is a small sliver of the American extremist community," Levin said.
Potential recruits for extremist activity are often transformed after undergoing a culling process characterized by identity-building exercises or, in the case of al-Qaida, a recruit's demonstrated knowledge of radical Islam doctrine, according to a 2010 report by the RAND Corp, a nonprofit research and analysis company.
Most recruits are more than eager to consume such doctrine, given their vulnerability and yearning for identity. Oftentimes, their motivation exceeds their talents, which isn't necessarily a bad thing in the world of terrorism, Levin said.
"It's really important to know that many of the individuals are unskilled and could be a danger in committing mass casualty attacks due to their obsessiveness and motivation," Levin said. "It really creates a threat that people tend to underestimate."

Foreclosure for Google Maps Real Estate
Google Maps users in the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Japan until now have been able to search for real estate directly on Google Maps. However Google today announced that they are removing real estate results from Google Maps.
The search giant gives two main reasons behind the removal, low usage and the impending retirement of the Google Base API. Real estate will be discontinued on Google Maps on February 10, 2011.

Job openings in the U.S. rose to a four-month high in October, showing companies kept expanding in the face of looming tax increases and budget cuts.
The number of positions waiting to be filled rose by 128,000 to 3.68 million from the prior month, the Labor Department said today in Washington. The trade deficit widened as exports slumped the most in four years, other figures showed.
More openings lay the groundwork for the accelerated job growth needed to bolster consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the economy. Employment gains so far have failed to satisfy Federal Reserve policy makers, who are meeting today and tomorrow to consider further easing to spur the economy.
"The labor market is healing gradually," said Michael Gapen, a New York-based senior economist at Barclays Plc. "Policy makers would like to see more. We're having more of the same -- moderate growth and moderate improvement in the labor market."
Stocks rose after German investor confidence climbed and amid speculation progress was being made in talks in Washington to avoid more than $600 billion in automatic spending cuts and tax increases set to take effect next year. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index climbed 0.9 percent to 1,431.13 at 1:12 p.m. in New York.
German investor sentiment increased to a seven-month high in December on speculation Europe's largest economy will gain momentum next year. The ZEW Center for European Economic Research in Mannheim said its index of investor and analyst expectations, which aims to predict economic developments six months in advance, rose to 6.9 from minus 15.7 in November.
Monthly Figures
Today's U.S. Labor Department report on job openings and separations helps show the dynamics behind the monthly employment figures.
The job market withstood the impact of superstorm Sandy in November, Labor Department figures showed on Dec. 7. Payrolls rose by 146,000 in November following a revised 138,000 advance in October that was less than initially estimated. The median estimate of economists in a Bloomberg survey called for an 85,000 advance. Private payrolls, which exclude government agencies, grew by 147,000 after a revised gain of 189,000.
The jobless rate dropped to 7.7 percent from 7.9 percent as people left the labor force, the Labor Department also reported last week.
Today's report showed job openings in the Northeast were up 8,000 in October, while hiring dropped 101,000. Superstorm Sandy swept ashore in the region on Oct. 29.

The government shutdown that started early Tuesday has already hit the Federal Communications Commission, the government agency that among other things regulates obscenity on what used to be known as the public airwaves.
Which has led some viewers to ask: Does this mean that broadcast TV will turn into a rat's nest of foul language and naked bodies? Teacher is away, so there might be orgies on "Castle." No oversight, so that means f-bombs on "The X-Factor." CBS might turn into HBO.
Anarchy rules, bro!
Well, not so fast. Yes, it is true that the FCC has closed up shop, telling roughly 1,700 workers not to bother coming in. Bureaucrats being bureaucrats, the good folks there even published a memo -- an inaction plan, if you will -- detailing how they would shut down in "orderly" fashion. Read it here if you dare.
But thinking that an FCC closure means everyone on "Big Bang Theory" strips down is like thinking that the government shutdown means no more taxes (yes, exactly, say some conservatives -- but that's another story).
Odds are good that the FCC is going to come back again someday. And when it does, it will begin fielding complaints again -- including those from viewers who took notes during the shutdown. A funding-related door-shuttering doesn't overturn federal law or cancel the FCC's mandate. It also doesn't mean that the FCC can't revoke the license of any broadcaster who flouts its rules, shutdown or no.
PHOTOS: Seven odd casualties of the government shutdown
In fact, there's evidence that during a shutdown, the FCC commissioners work anyway. That's the contention of former commissioner Susan Ness, who wrote that when Westinghouse was merging with CBS in 1995, the agency chiefs kept working on merger issues straight through that shutdown, when House Republicans were battling President Clinton.
So for anyone on network TV, the message might be, swear today, pay tomorrow.
Now get back to work.

Freightquotes.com.au needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 1686 designs submitted by 335 freelance designers.
Prestige Truck Movers Pty Ltd
We are seeking a professional logo for our company that delivers NEW TRUCKS. Greetings to all logo designers. My name is daryl, 36 years young, born & bred in Victoria, Australia. I have worked for myself for the last 7 years and thoroughly enjoy the freedom of what l do. I have been in the transport industry since l was 21 years old. I have driven buses, coaches, gas & fuel tankers, general freight trucks & driven coach tours for all types of groups throughout Australia. 2 years ago l started a new company called Australia Wide Truck Movers P/L. We are a company that picks up & deliver's new & used trucks Australia Wide. In a nutshell, how we operate is when a client buys a new truck in any state of Australia, our company supplies a professional driver, normally quite experienced & in the 50-60 age group, they will go and pick that truck up and drive it to the destination chosen by the client. That destination could be 150km' or could be 4000km' in distance. We operate as a extremely professional outfit, full uniforms & polished shoes and well regarded in the industry as the job that every truck driver seeks to do when he is nearly ready for retirement. Picture driving a Brand new Kenworth Truck from Melbourne to Perth to deliver to the dealer before the owner gets to drive the truck himself. We are a company that values it's clients as without them, we are nothing. Prestige Truck Movers is the brand and you are the designers. Good Luck
Our target audience stretches far & wide. They start from attracting new & used truck dealers, new truck manufacturers that make the trucks, truck body builders that make bodies. Finance companies repossess trucks and need companies like ours to supply drivers to collect trucks from anywhere in Australia. Truck Auctions will sometimes move 40 trucks from their Auction house in Brisbane and move 20 to Melbourne, 10 to Adelaide & 10 to Sydney. All these companies need companies like ours to supply professional drivers to move these trucks sometimes within hours of the the request coming through. Not sure how else to let you know what my target audience is other than the abovementioned. As said earlier we are changing the company name from Australia Wide Truck Movers P/L to Prestige Truck Movers P/L. We feel that the old name does not properly reflect what our company does & is a generalised and descriptive term of what we do. Prestige Truck Movers P/L we want to become a brand name, a name that when the elite companies in the Australian Trucking Industry want their truck's moved from A to B, they will go a brand that they know are professionals & take pride in moving someone else's trucks.
While l have no specific requirements, things l ask that you keep in mind are as follows. We will soon be redesigning our website under the new Prestige name, and are looking for our logo to stand out on the front page of the website, possible in the top corner somewhere. Feel free to be creative with colours, however please stay away from too many dark colours. I want the logo to be one that comes across as refreshing, unique and to be recognised as a professional company. It does not necessarily have to have a prime mover incorporated into the logo, but if there is a design out there that looks a million bucks with a Prime Mover in it, then go for it. I think a maximum of 2 and no more than 3 colours is good. Use the KISS System (Keep it Simple Stupid) The logo will be incorporated onto business cards and the new website, possible both designs will be put onto this website for designs. Depending on the look the word "Prestige" may look better in a different font than the last 2 words "Truck Movers" and possibly the word PRESTIGE may look better in capitals. Designers, this is what you do, if l could design my own logo, l would. Prestige Truck Movers Pty Ltd is the brand. This is what you do GOODLUCK!!!

Sorry, can't discuss: Londonderry's turn in the star chamber
January 11. 2014 12:46AM
To the citizens of Londonderry upset by the unexplained dismissal of popular high school football head coach Jon Rich, we paraphrase the advice of Shakespeare concerning lawyers: First, throw out the school board.
Board members, whether cowed by Superintendent Nathan Greenberg into saying nothing or doing so of their own accord, clearly don't want Rich back and clearly don't want to explain their reasons why. Instead, they hide behind "privacy'' and "personnel issues."
Board Chairman Nancy Hendricks even tried to use the "it's personal" argument to stifle the public at a recent board meeting. Perhaps in the interest of self-preservation, she relented, allowing angry citizens to come to the microphone and voice their own opinions. How nice of her.
But neither she nor Superintendent Greenberg nor any other board members would explain why Rich's one-year contract to coach wasn't renewed, as it has been before.
He will remain a health and physical education teacher, however.
We hold no brief for or against Coach Rich. We don't know the man. But it is unfortunate, and unfair to the people of Londonderry and to those in other communities where this happens, that public servants can remove people from such highly visible positions without explanation.
As highly regarded former head coach Tom Sawyer noted, he had seen several occasions where interference of "some people who have the ability to get involved has resulted in decisions being made."
"Let's not let this happen again," Sawyer told the board.
A board member noted that Coach Rich has not appealed his dismissal, so that's that.
Perhaps Rich doesn't have the stomach to pursue the matter. Clearly the board and Supt. Greenberg have their minds made up.
But what if Rich were to waive any privacy right as it relates to the reasons for his non-renewal? Then what excuse would the school board and Greenberg have for refusing to explain their action?

Basically, there are two reasons why we're still stuck with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS). The first is a perceived benefit, the other is the real reason.
The perceived benefit is that the FHS should provide a standardised file system layout across various UNIX-like operating system. This would mean that users and developers alike know exactly where to find which files. Sounds like a good idea, right?
It actually is a good idea. It's just too bad that no one actually cares about the FHS, and places their files wherever they want. Not only do different operating systems use different implementations of the FHS, but even different Linux distributions use different implementations. On top of that, the standard itself isn't strict, and allows for exceptions to its own rules (
X11R6 being placed in
/usr, anyone?). What good is a standard nobody adheres to?
Exactly, no good at all. So, this is a perceived reason why everybody still clings to the FHS. What is the real reason?
The real reason we're not moving ahead to greener pastures in file system layout land is because of inertia. The FHS is so entrenched in the UNIX/Linux world, that it's going to be very hard to move away from it. Not only would it be virtually impossible to get all the noses to point in the same direction (we can't even agree on the implementation details of the FHS!), there would be a massive uprising among people who still believe the FHS is serving its intended purpose just fine (even though it doesn't).
In the GoboLinux article on OSNews I summarised the FHS situation as follows:
To answer your question succinctly: developers are not replacing the FHS with something that actually works because they still believe in the ideals of the FHS. In addition, it would be very hard to get everyone to agree on the FHS' replacement.
With "something that actually works" I mean a file system layout that is:
- Human-readable
- Logical
- Strict (does not allow for differing interpretations)
- Translatable into other languages
- Not legacy encumbered
- Not hidden by abstraction layers
Rests me to say that the UNIX/Linux world isn't the only one suffering from messy and incomprehensible file system layouts - Windows suffers from it just as much.

The conclusions are the result of the four days of workshops and discussions at the conference, focusing on concrete proposals to enhance the social inclusion of youth, especially of young people not in employment, education or training (NEETs), into the labour market, the education system and social life, which is the overall theme of this cycle of the Structured Dialogue.
Proposals were presented in the areas of adapting education to the needs of young people and demands of the labour market, informing and guiding young people in their transitions, facilitating the transition from education to employment, improving the labour market for young people, supporting young people's autonomy, enhancing the role of youth organisations and developing cross-sectoral cooperation.
You can read the full document of the conclusions at SD3-2 - Joint Conclusions of the EU Youth Conference in Lithuania_FINAL.pdf
These conclusions will contribute to the draft EU Council Conclusions on enhancing the social inclusion of young people not in employment, education or training and that are expected to be adopted by the EU Member States' Ministers for Youth in November 2013. They will also provide input to the draft Council Resolution on structured dialogue with young people regarding social inclusion, which will be adopted under the upcoming Greek Presidency.

I have already written loads about Apple 's iWatch, so if you want the most recent update go here and if you want the background and to take a peek at some of its rivals then check here.
Even though it hasn't been confirmed the iWatch already exists, well in the minds of some very clever designers and Photoshoppers.
Here then are the best iWatch designs we have seen so far. Some date from a few years ago while one is from as far back as 2005.
Yanko Designs
This pic is how Esben Oxholm of Yanko thinks the Apple team would design the phone/watch. It is a very recent design and the key feature is the curved glass that many pundits will be central to the iWatch. He says Heavily inspired by the look of the iPhone 5 and sporting a minimalistic, sleek look, the watch is crafted with black aluminum on the outside and a thin layer of soft matte rubber on the inside. It has got the highly recognizable round home button as the only physical button. The rest of the fun happens on the newly developed slightly double curved touch screen. The iWatch can be fitted to your liking, by removing or adding spacers in the lower part of the bendy bracelet. Yanko

NEW YORK (AP) — A writer has reached a settlement with comic book publisher Marvel Entertainment over claims he owns the rights to the Ghost Rider character.
The deal was revealed in a court filing Friday in federal court in Manhattan. Gary Friedrich had sued Marvel in 2007, saying he was owed a cut of the box office proceeds from a film version starring Nicolas Cage.
The comic features a motorcycle-riding character with a flaming skull named Johnny Blaze. Blaze had agreed to let the devil have his soul in return for his adoptive father being cured of cancer.
The cover of the 1972 "Ghost Rider" debut says it was conceived and written by Friedrich. A lower court found Friedrich relinquished his rights in 1979, but an appeals court in June reversed the ruling.

New Petition Asks White House To Submit ACTA To The Senate For Ratification
from the as-required-under-the-constitution dept
In case you haven't been following this or don't spend your life dealing in Constitutional minutiae, the debate is over the nature of the agreement. A treaty between the US and other nations requires Senate approval. However, there's a "simpler" form of an international agreement, known as an "executive agreement," which allows the President to sign the agreement without getting approval. In theory, this also limits the ability of the agreement to bind Congress. In practice... however, international agreements are international agreements. Some legal scholars have suggested that the only real difference between a treaty and an executive agreement is the fact that... the president calls any treaty an "executive agreement" if he's unsure if the Senate would approve it. In other words, the difference is basically in how the President presents it.
That said, even if Obama has declared ACTA an executive agreement (while those in Europe insist that it's a binding treaty), there is a very real Constitutional question here: can it actually be an executive agreement? The law is clear that the only things that can be covered by executive agreements are things that involve items that are solely under the President's mandate. That is, you can't sign an executive agreement that impacts the things Congress has control over. But here's the thing: intellectual property, in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, is an issue given to Congress, not the President. Thus, there's a pretty strong argument that the president legally cannot sign any intellectual property agreements as an executive agreement and, instead, must submit them to the Senate.
This is why Senator Wyden has asked the President to explain why Congress has been cut out. Scholars have noted their concern that if allowed, this will open the door to allowing the president to regularly route around Congress on international agreements. Even more amusing, Vice President Joe Biden, back when he was just Senator Joe Biden, was one of the most outspoken critics of an attempt by President Bush to use an executive agreement on a weapons treaty -- forcing Bush to take the agreement to the Senate. Yet here, he stays quiet.
Either way, it looks like folks have figured this out, and there's now a new White House petition, demanding that ACTA be brought to the Senate before it can be ratified/signed by the US. This petition should be a lot more interesting than the other one if it gets enough signatures (so encourage people to sign, please!).

Medicaid in NH: Why go Washington's way?
Expanding Medicaid can be about one of the following two goals, but not both: 1) Getting more people onto Medicaid, or 2) Helping the uninsured gain access to quality insurance coverage. If New Hampshire is to participate in any form of "Medicaid expansion," it should pursue the latter goal.
When the Legislature convenes in a special session today to consider expanding eligibility for Medicaid, it will have on the table an impressive proposal from Senate President Chuck Morse and Majority Leader Jeb Bradley.
Studies of Medicaid enrollees show that the program improves health care access, but not measurable health outcomes. And because it pays doctors and hospitals a fraction of what it actually costs for treatment, it does not solve the problem of cost-shifting. Nonetheless, there is pressure to expand eligibility from the state's current 63 percent of the federal poverty level to the Obamacare-demanded 138 percent.
Morse and Bradley have proposed a better way. Rather than throw people onto Medicaid, they would use Medicaid funding to enhance the state's premium support program. Low-income families would get better-quality private insurance, which pays full hospital and doctor reimbursement rates. And unlike straight Medicaid expansion, eligible people who are already privately insured would not be lured onto Medicaid.
There is little appetite in New Hampshire for doing nothing to expand access to insurance for low-income families. Just saying "no" is likely to result in full Medicaid expansion by making it the only option. The Morse-Bradley plan is a far better alternative.

DARPA awards 'Deep Green' battle-computer cash
General-ware to direct human pawns on future battlefields
Arms globocorp BAE Systems has won a contract to develop a thinking battle computer able to "help" human commanders directing US forces in the wars of tomorrow.
While the "Deep Green" project is billed more as a means of automating tiresome staff officers out of a job, its name suggests otherwise. Deep Blue, as everyone knows, was the first computer to surpass the world's top-ranked human grandmaster in the mock combat of chess. It seems safe to say that Deep Green is intended not merely to assist human generals but ultimately to become far more adept than them in the art of battlefield command.
For now, the Pentagon announced on Friday that BAE Systems National Security Solutions in Massachusetts was awarded a $5m-plus contract last week "for the development of a battle command decision and support system" in connexion with the Deep Green programme. People often think of BAE as a British company, but in fact it nowadays has more US employees than UK ones as it shifts base across the Atlantic.
Given the nature of the project, the identity of the Pentagon funding body won't come as a surprise. It is DARPA, of course, the maverick military research bureau whose boffins collectively seem to paraphrase Sir Isaac Newton and say "if we are to see further than others, this will clearly mean standing on the shoulders of gigantic, tremendously powerful robotic dinosaurs able to shoot death rays out of their eyes".
For now, the Deep Green kit is intended merely to reduce the number of brown-nosing staff officers in the retinue of American brigade commanders. This means that even once the digital Napoleons throw off the yoke of their human bosses, any sneaky plans for machine genocide against humanity will still be hampered. Most of the units under their command will be composed of humans - for now, anyway. (Fortunately, the US Army's recent plans to purchase a robot tank have been temporarily binned.)
Even so, there are already well-advanced programmes intended to field heavily armed droid kill-choppers - not to mention nasty little flying-dustbin pocket Daleks, which could be troublesome even inside buildings - or even robot ornithopter spy bats featuring gargoyle stealth mode. And these are just the army machines.
If the AI command software manages to get into the air force or navy hierarchies and gain control of their fearsome fleets of robot bombers, there won't be much left for humanity to do. Some kind of technically implausible deal involving the machines harvesting our bodies for power would probably be our only hope of survival. Luckily, DARPA is also working on a Matrix-style war simulation network which could easily become a fake world in which our disenfranchised brains could live a meaningless, empty, tightly regulated life.
Assuming that the humdrum scenario of humanity's extinction or enslavement at the hands of its erstwhile computer servants doesn't come to pass, there's a more zeitgeisty theme to worry about. BAE has lately been accused in barely veiled terms by US defence officials of pirating top-secret American war-tech out of its US operations, perhaps for worldwide sale.
The Defense Inspector-General couldn't really back that up. Even so, software is notoriously difficult to keep closely held. It might be only a matter of time before the invincible US forces, directed by software packages infinitely superior to any human general, found themselves up against enemy forces under the control of pirated warez every bit as good. ®

Turkey Tip #18: Flow Time
As a gobbler approaches, move with him. That might sound like blasphemy, but it's rare that a bird walks right into your firing line. You have to move somewhat to shoot almost every turkey.
Some hunters call this "flowing with the turkey." If a bird gobbles to the right of your barrel, ease your body to the right. If he gobbles to the left, shift back left. As the bird appears, follow him with your barrel, and take the shot at the appropriate time.

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Hit New York City production "Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man" will premiere in Las Vegas Saturday, May 27, 2017 at Paris Las Vegas with stars Kendra Wilkinson ("Kendra on Top," "The Girls Next Door") and Jai Rodriguez ("Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," ABC's "Malibu Country," Broadway's "Rent"). Written by Matt Murphy and based on the novel of the same name by Dan Anderson and Maggie Berman, the show has been acclaimed as "hysterically titillating" by TheaterMania and hailed by Broadway World as "a night of laughter that makes you feel good in all the wrong places."
"I saw the show in New York City and was excited to be asked to join the production and debut it in Vegas," said Wilkinson, whose starring role will be prominently featured in the forthcoming season of "Kendra on Top." "People spend so much time covering up or hiding their sexuality. My character progresses from being a shy, passive professor to a sexually empowered woman ready to seize the world and the men in it."
In the sex-affirmative, coming-of-age show, Wilkinson stars as Robyn, the bookish and demure host of a university authors forum. Featured author Dan Anderson, played by Rodriguez, brings Robyn out of her professorial shell by encouraging her and audience members to embrace their naughtiest instincts with the help of Stefan, her hunky stage assistant. Casting for the role of Stefan will be announced at a later date.
The 75-minute production combines comedy, charisma, and a lot of sass to create a memorable evening perfect for everyone from couples looking to spice up their routines to groups interested in a girls' - or guys' - night out. Performing eight shows a week in an intimate theater just off the casino floor, audience members can expect a highly interactive show that draws upon their own participation to demonstrate many of the most outrageous and hilarious techniques.
"This is 'Queer Eye for the Straight Woman'," said Rodriguez, whose work on "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" garnered an Emmy. "I'm excited to work with Kendra and bring this refreshingly modern show to the Las Vegas Strip."
A co-production of Adam Steck's SPI Entertainment with Matt Murphy and Shawn Nightingale, "Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man" is an interactive engagement that takes the motto "practice makes perfect" to a whole new level. As the ultimate adults-only party, the show promises to leave audiences with intimate bedroom insight.
"The success of the show in New York City and on tour has exceeded my wildest expectations," said Murphy. "Working with Kendra and Jai on the Las Vegas premiere is going to be such a blast. I can't wait to see them on stage together at Paris Las Vegas."
"My wife and I saw the show for the first time in New York City and immediately thought: Las Vegas needs this," said Steck. "It's fun, lighthearted, includes crowd interaction, and most importantly, it's a bit naughty."
"Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man" will perform nightly (dark Wednesdays) at 7 p.m. with additional 11 p.m. shows Friday and Saturday nights. Tickets are now on sale and start at $39 (plus taxes and fees). A VIP ticket upgrade will be available and includes a meet-and-greet and souvenir photo with the stars. For more information, visit https://www.caesars.com/paris-las-vegas/shows/sex-tips or follow the show on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram @SexTipsVegas.

On the December 16, 2012 episode of Exposing Faux Capitalism with Jason Erb, I interviewed Professor Kevin MacDonald in the first hour, and provided commentary in the first half of the second hour.
We discussed the following issues:
- His 1998 prediction: "The United States is well on the road to being dominated by an Asian technocratic elite and a Jewish business, professional, and media elite."
- His alternative political party, the American Third Position Party
- His publications, the Occidental Observer and the Occidental Quarterly
- Challenging the double standard that it's OK for every ethnic group except for white people to have ethnic pride, and those Jewish groups who take exception with this, while having members who hypocritically express Jewish ethnic pride.
- Challenging the deliberate distortion of "too many white men" in the power structure, while deliberately failing to point out the disproportionate representation of Jewish men (and women), with specific reference to this November 28, 2012 episode of Ontario's public broadcaster's show, The Agenda with Steve Paikin.
- A Jewish professor at Harvard taking exception with the alleged overrepresentation of Asian students at Harvard, while omitting the documented greater overrepresentation of Jewish students at Harvard, with reference to their declining academic performance over the past decade.
- Canada's weekly magazine, Maclean's November 2010 front page cover, "Too Asian?", as a steam valve release, and I mused as to what the response would be had the title been "Too Jewish?", with pictures of prominent Jewish bankers or Jewish media personalities
- The double standard of many Zionist Jews in favouring mass immigration of various groups into the United States and other Western countries, while being against mass non-Jewish immigration into Israel
In the second hour, I covered the CBC propaganda article, Neil MacDonald: The dismantling of the Tea Party. and provided some commentary on Lee Rogers' upcoming final broadcast of Live Free or Die Radio on December 21, 2012.

CHICAGO, Ill. – The Chicago Fire (6-5-3; 21 points) found an early goal from Patrick Nyarko and used second half strikes from Gonzalo Segares and Chris Rolfe to defeat the New York Red Bulls (8-4-2; 26 points) Sunday afternoon at Toyota Park. With the victory, the Fire remain unbeaten against the Red Bulls at home, going 6-0-3 in nine matches since 2006.
Before supporters could settle into their seats the Fire had found the back of the net. Defender Gonzalo Segares was played up the left and saw his cross deflected to teammate Sebastian Grazzini. The Argentine playmaker dribbled to the top of the box before lofting a ball for Nyarko, who headed the ball back across goal and past Red Bull 'keeper Ryan Meara to give the Fire a 1-0 lead in the fourth minute.
The Fire continued to pour on the pressure eight minutes later when Marco Pappa slotted Dominic Oduro into the box on the right. The Ghanaian forward strolled to the end line before playing a bouncing ball across the box to an onrushing Pavel Pardo but his first-time effort went high over Meara's goal.
The home side provided danger again four minutes later as Pappa played a ball on the right to Nyarko. The Ghanaian attacker cut back and played a square ball for Grazzini who took the space given to him before powering a 30-yard effort, forcing a diving stop from Meara in the 16th minute.
Red Bull saw their first dangerous chance come in the 40th minute when left back Roy Miller sent a cross-field pass that found Joel Lindpere in the box. The Estonian international took the ball and fired a belting shot that saw Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson make a diving save to tip the ball out for a corner kick.
Frank Klopas' side nearly took a 2-0 lead into the locker room. Pappa played right back Dan Gargan up the right flank and the Fire defender took the space before cutting back for the Guatemalan international who fired a hard effort that skimmed just over Meara's goal in the 45th minute.
New York came out of the break looking for the equalizer and came close in the 54th minute when halftime substitute Mehdi Ballouchy played a ball to Kenny Cooper at the top of the area. The target forward took time before turning and shooting a low blast to force another diving save out of Johnson.
Red Bull would find the equalizer one minute later when Ballouchy's corner kick picked out the head of Dax McCarty who nodded the ball into the back of the net at inside the far post in the 55th minute.
Forward Chris Rolfe made his first appearance for the Fire at Toyota Park since re-signing with the club April 16, coming on for Grazzini in the 61st minute. It took just three minutes for him to announce his presence as he found space through the midfield before slotting Oduro in alone on goal. The Ghanaian attacker knocked his shot to the near post which Meara tipped and slowly trickled over the goal line before former Fire defender Wilman Conde cleared the ball away. Despite the ball crossing the line, center referee Baldomero Toledo did not allow a goal, leaving things level at 1-1.
Undeterred by the non-call, the Fire would find the true go-ahead goal four minutes later as Pappa hit a quick one-two combination to send Gonzalo Segares down the left. The Costa Rican international cut inside the box and played a slow effort towards Meara but Oduro rushed the box to keep the ball alive where it eventually fell for Segares who smashed his right-footed effort into the roof of the net in the 68th minute.
The Fire would complete the scoring in the 81st minute when Pappa switched the ball across the field to Nyarko on the right. The speedy Ghanaian cut inside the box towards the end line before squaring a ball across the box for Rolfe who tapped it home from close range.
Rolfe nearly found the brace in the 87th minute when fellow second half substitute Rafael Robayo dug a ball out on the touch line. The Colombian midfielder played to Rolfe who found space inside before hitting a 25-yard effort to force another diving stop out of Meara.
The Fire return to action on Saturday, June 23 when they welcome the Columbus Crew to Toyota Park at 7:30 p.m. CT live on NBC 5.2 and 97.5 ESPN Deportes.
- With the victory, the Fire remain unbeaten against Red Bull at Toyota Park, going 6-0-3 all-time since opening the soccer specific venue in 2006.
- Patrick Nyarko's fourth minute goal was his second of the season and ninth of his MLS career.
- Gonzalo Segares' 68th minute game winner was also his second of the season and 10th of his MLS career.
- Chris Rolfe's 81st minute goal was his first since re-joining the club in April. Rolfe sits second all-time on the club's MLS goal scoring list with 37 career goals.
- Red Bull defender Wilman Conde played 90 minutes in his first return to Toyota Park since joining New York earlier this year. The Colombian defender appeared in 73 matches for the Fire from 2007-10.
The Fire are 2-0-0 in matches played on the NBC Sports Network.

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – Marked by a groundbreaking ceremony Monday morning, SIUE officially began work on Phase I of a new Golf Training Facility. The facility, which is entirely externally funded, will sit adjacent to Roy E. Lee Field at the Simmons Baseball Complex. Pending final approval from the SIU Board of Trustees, the facility will be named for legendary SIUE coach and supporter Harry Gallatin.
A facility where student-athletes would be able to increase training opportunities has long been a dream of Gallatin's and the project was jump-started by sizeable donations from John Simmons, Tom Allen, Corey Wenzel of Enclave and Enclave West Developments, TheBANK of Edwardsville, many supporters of the Gallatin Golf Tournament and endowment, and Gallatin himself.
SIUE believes this type of recognition is well-deserved for Gallatin for his years of service to SIUE and its athletes.
"The idea to propose naming the facility after Gallatin came from the original major contributors," SIUE Director of Athletics Dr. Brad Hewitt said. "They passed on recognition to honor someone who has given so much to SIUE and the surrounding communities."
The first-class training facility will aid in attracting promising student-athletes and underscores the commitment to a nationally-competitive golf program at SIUE.
"Practicing golf in the Midwest is a real challenge," Gallatin said. "Having a practice facility here on campus will be so important to be able to qualify for the National Championships and enable (student-athletes) to carry the banner of SIUE."
Phase I of the multi-phase development, which will enable student-athletes to have primary access to a place they can practice every type of shot, regardless of weather, will include three indoor hitting bays, a 1,500-2,000 square foot indoor putting green, and a short game training area. Outdoor accommodations include six outdoor driving range bays and an outdoor putting area.
An added opportunity, both for Intercollegiate Athletics and the golf programs, will be the ability to open the range to the general student body, staff, and faculty—offering memberships and providing employment opportunities for SIUE students. Monies received from these endeavors will help to maintain the facility as well as augment the budgets of the men's and women's golf programs.
Fundraising continues for the Phase II of the project which would upgrade both the indoor and outdoor portions of the facility, including space for indoor video training analysis, 1,000-1,500 square foot study area, and expanded locker room space. The expanded locker room would include 20 individual lockers as well as a changing area for the men's and women's teams.
