My body trembled in the immense light of the ever present Sun. My hand hooded my eyes as I stared up at It. Suddenly, Its usual warmth felt more like a burning heat. Beauty and Power was my mantra to the ‘heavenly’ body. It is said to supply us with the essence of purity, and growth. But in that moment, it just felt like a stadium light crammed in a small room: too tremendous to be needed, too ridiculous to be natural. A poorly done Photoshop, of sorts. Beads of sweat gathered at my brow. Whether it was from the immense heat, or the sudden realization, I wasn’t quite sure.

Though the city around me was hustling and bustling at this time, just like every other time, I felt strangely suffocated and claustrophobic. Getting out was the only thing on my mind. For an hour, I think, my nimble body weaved through the crowed city, then suburbs, and finally to the hill on the outskirt of our city. No one really ventured here. Curiosity is not a natural emotion of my people. Those who had, though, were rumored to have never been seen again. For some reason, I took that risk; I just felt like I needed to get out.

It took me another hour of intensive climbing to get to the top of this steep hill. Finally, there I stood at the crest of the hill, staring down at my former city, formally named Ignorance. The sight brought tears to my eyes. For some reason, none of the cityscape seemed to be quite as real any more. This view told me why no one had ever returned,

Cupping my mouth like a megaphone, I began to yell the names of the people I knew there. I wanted them to come with me, for them to experience this realization themselves, but they were too far to hear my calls. My yelling halted when I felt something splash on the back of my hand. Sweat? The liquid was replaced with saliva as my tongue brush over the droplet. No, this didn’t taste salty at all. Then there were more of these splashes all around me, and the sky darkened. My heart was pounding from my fear, for the only water we knew in Ignorance was that from the Lake. It was a horrifying experience, this never happened in my city. I quickly found shelter under a tree and grimaced at the sky. Depressingly, I yearned for my warm, comforting life in the city below, but it was too late, I would no longer feel accepted there. Finally, I fell asleep to the sound of what I later found out to be rain.

I woke up to the Warmth. To the real one, not like the one in Ignorance. After the dreadful rain, this was the first thing that redeemed leaving Ignorance. This Sun was real. It was more yellow then the old one, much less like an incandescent bulb in the ceiling. It had volume, and the power to dry my body of the rainwater with these warm breezes in the air, swirling around me.

I ventured further away, less affected by my subconscious wanting me to stay. In the back of my mind, I knew I would have to return, except that time, with a crowd big enough for everyone in Ignorance city to hear when we scream for them at the top of the hill, as far as we can venture. But I need to learn first. Live life outside the city and become independent. I thought all of this as I traveled through the muddy wilderness beyond the city and then even beyond the Hill.

It never rains in Ignorance; not ever. Their sky is kept bright and clear by a giant light bulb that never goes out. In theory, though, a little bit of water splashed on it could short-circuit the light bulb, exposing them to the true sun. But there would have to be a lot of rain for it to reach that high up.

For now I’ll let them live in Ignorance, and hope for the best. Besides, I have a new place in between the Hill and the Sea that I now call home. That, my friends, is the small, but up and coming town named Wisdom. And I hope one day, you can take the time to visit.

title: Hi, this is my first short story I've shared with anyone. I hope you all can help me better myself as a writer.

question: Why does the narrator want to leave Ignorance?

answer: They experience a sense of disillusionment with it. They get a sense of suffocation and claustrophobia.

question: Explain the reasons behind curious people never coming back.

answer: While the story doesn't state the answer, its subtext has implications that their natural inclination is toward more knowledge, directly opposing ignorance.

question: Why does the narrator initially regret leaving Ignorance?

answer: The rain is unfamiliar and discomforting.

question: Why does the narrator want to come back one day?

answer: They want to ensure the people they know there can also get out and become free.

question: Write a ~4 sentence summary.

answer: The narrator feels a need to leave their city, called Ignorance. On their first day out, the rain shocks in the discomfort it brings, but the sun redeems their decision with its warmth. The narrator wants to return one day to scream the names of their friends from the hill overlooking the city so that they too can get out. The narrator now lives in a new place called Wisdom and hopes others can visit.

Scion’s axing has led to a different naming strategy for the vehicles that will live on as re-badged Toyotas.
Following the introduction of the facelifted GT 86, which will replace the Scion FR-S in the North American market, Toyota has announced two new names for the iA and iM, which will be known as Yaris iA and Corolla iM, respectively, when they will go on sale for the 2017 model year.

“_When we announced the transition of the Scion models to Toyota we hadn’t planned on changing the names of our cars, but by popular demand, for our sports car, we decided to adopt the global name of 86_“, said Bill Fay, Toyota division Group Vice President, in a statement.

As it will go forward with its new naming strategy, Toyota will report sales volumes of the normal Yaris and Yaris iA, as well as the Corolla and Corolla iM, together, as single units. However, while the Corolla iM hatchback is already a Corolla underneath the skin, things are more complicated when it comes to the Yaris iA sedan, as it’s based on the Mazda2.

Besides receiving new badges, the two vehicles will remain identical to their _scions_. The Yaris iA will continue to be powered by a 1.5-liter four-pot engine, mated to a six-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic gearbox, while the Corolla iM will be offered, as standard, with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder, paired with either a six-speed manual or a CVT.

The NEW YORK YANKEES of the third American Football League was the third professional American football team competing under that name. It is unrelated to the Yankees of the first AFL (and the National Football League), the Yankees of the second AFL, and the (later) Yankees of the All-America Football Conference. The Yankees played their home games in Yankee Stadium and Downing Stadium in New York, New York.

After finishing fourth in the AFL’s season of 1940, the Yankees were sold to agent and promoter Douglas Hertz. By the summer of 1941, the team’s AFL franchise was revoked in light of a scandal involving the new owner, and a group headed by William Cox assumed control of the team by the beginning of the new season. The newly renamed NEW YORK AMERICANS were competitive, finishing one-half game behind league champions Columbus Bullies. While the Americans were making plans for a 1942 AFL season, the league suspended operations in the wake of the entry of the United States into World War II, and the Americans followed suit. The league did not return to business after the end of the war, and neither did the New York Americans.

1940 New York Yankees

The Yankees were one of three charter members of the third AFL (along with the Boston Bears and Buffalo Indians) that were formed with the expressed purpose of competing in a major professional football league to compete with the established National Football League. The new league became official after the Cincinnati Bengals, Columbus Bullies and a newly minted Milwaukee Chiefs defected from the American Professional Football Association. The roster for the 1940 season had five players who competed in the NFL in 1939.[1] Head coach Jack McBride was also the coach of the New York Yankees of the second American Football League (1936–1937).

  Year   W   L   T   Finish
  ------ --- --- --- -----------
  1940   4   5   0   4th (AFL)

1941 New York Americans

In January 1941, the Yankees were sold to agent and promoter Douglas Hertz. After questions arose about the finances of the new owner arose, the AFL revoked the franchise and transferred ownership to a syndicate headed by William Cox (later the owner of the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team) in August. Shortly afterward, the team’s name was changed to the New York Americans.

  Year   W   L   T   Finish
  ------ --- --- --- -----------
  1941   5   2   1   2nd (AFL)

Unlike the 1940 Yankees, the Americans had a flair for publicity, having signed college star running back John Kimbrough for $37,500 on a personal services contract that required personal appearances on behalf of the team.[2] Well into the season, the Americans announced the signing of Heisman Trophy winner Tom Harmon (who had begun a career in broadcasting University of Michigan football games) for the game between the Americans and league leader Columbus. Harmon threw two interceptions while Hutchinson was similarly ineffective. In the second half, the New York fans shouted “We want [Bill] Hutchinson,” the Americans’ regular rusher. The game ended in a 0–0 tie.[3]

A loss to the Milwaukee Chiefs the following week (the last game of the season) cost the Americans the AFL championship.

1941 New York Yankees

The 1941 NEW YORK YANKEES, the fourth New York professional football team with the name, was a team formed and owned by Douglas Hertz after the third American Football League revoked his ownership of a franchise that was later renamed the New York Americans in August 1941. Initially an independent team, the Yankees joined the American Association in October to replace the Providence Steamroller, which dropped out of the league after only two games. Having four members of the 1940 Yankees, the 1941 edition lost all six of its American Association games (as a traveling team) and folded soon afterward.[4]

Protein = 31% | Fat = 33% | Carbs = 36%

The first ingredient in this dog food is SALMON. Although it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, raw salmon contains up to 73% water. After cooking, most of that moisture is lost, reducing the meat content to just a fraction of its original weight.

After processing, this item would probably account for a smaller part of the total content of the finished product.

The second ingredient is CHICKEN MEAL. Chicken meal is considered a meat concentrate and contains nearly 300% more protein than fresh chicken.

The third ingredient is PEA PROTEIN, what remains of a pea after removing the starchy part of the vegetable.

Even though it contains over 80% protein, this ingredient would be expected to have a lower biological value than meat.

And less costly plant-based products like this can notably boost the TOTAL PROTEIN reported on the label — a factor that must be considered when judging the meat content of this dog food.

The fourth ingredient includes PEAS. Peas are a quality source of carbohydrates. And like all legumes, they’re rich in natural fiber.

However, peas contain about 25% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the meat content of this dog food.

The next ingredient is TAPIOCA STARCH, a gluten-free, starchy carbohydrate extract made from the root of the cassava plant.

The sixth ingredient is PEA STARCH, a paste-like, gluten-free carbohydrate extract probably used here as a binder for making kibble. Aside from its energy content (calories), pea starch is of only modest nutritional value to a dog.

It’s important to note that a number of ingredients included in this recipe are each a TYPE OF PEA PRODUCT:

-   Pea protein
-   Peas
-   Pea starch
-   Pea fiber

Although they’re a mixture of quality plant ingredients, there’s an important issue to consider here. And that’s the recipe design practice known as ingredient splitting.

You see, if we were to COMBINE all these individual items together and REPORT THEM AS ONE, that newer combination would almost certainly occupy a higher position on the list.

The seventh ingredient is TOMATO POMACE. Tomato pomace is a controversial ingredient, a by-product remaining after processing tomatoes into juice, soup and ketchup.

Many praise tomato pomace for its high fiber and nutrient content, while others scorn it as an inexpensive pet food filler.

Just the same, there’s probably not enough tomato pomace here to make much of a difference.

The next ingredient is DRIED EGG PRODUCT, a dehydrated form of shell-free eggs. Quality can vary significantly. Lower grade egg product can even come from commercial hatcheries — from eggs that have failed to hatch.

In any case, eggs are easy to digest and have an exceptionally high biological value.

After the NATURAL FLAVOR, we find FLAXSEED, one of the best plant sources of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Provided they’ve first been ground into a meal, flax seeds are also rich in soluble fiber.

However, flaxseed contains about 19% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the actual meat content of this dog food.

The next ingredient is CHICKEN FAT. This item is obtained from rendering chicken, a process similar to making soup in which the fat itself is skimmed from the surface of the liquid.

Chicken fat is high in linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid essential for life. Although it doesn’t sound very appetizing, chicken fat is actually a quality ingredient.

From here, the list goes on to include a NUMBER OF OTHER ITEMS.

But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are NOT LIKELY TO AFFECT the overall rating of this Blue Buffalo product.

With 7 notable EXCEPTIONS…

First, we find ALFALFA MEAL. Although alfalfa meal is high in plant protein (about 18%) and fiber (25%), this hay-family item is more commonly associated with horse feeds.

Next, we note the use of PEA FIBER, a mixture of both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber derived from pea hulls. Aside from the usual benefits of fiber, this agricultural by-product provides no other nutritional value to a dog.

In addition, CHICORY ROOT is rich in INULIN, a starch-like compound made up of repeating units of carbohydrates and found in certain roots and tubers.

Not only is inulin a natural source of soluble dietary fiber, it’s also a PREBIOTIC used to promote the growth of healthy bacteria in a dog’s digestive tract.

Next, this recipe includes ALFALFA NUTRIENT CONCENTRATE, a vitamin and mineral-rich extract made from alfalfa.

Even though it contains over 50% protein, this ingredient would be expected to have a lower biological value than meat.

And plant-based products like this can notably boost the TOTAL PROTEIN reported on the label — a factor that must be considered when judging the meat content of this dog food.

Additionally, we find DRIED YEAST, which can be a controversial item. Dried yeast contains about 45% protein and is rich in other healthy nutrients.

Fans believe yeast repels fleas and supports the immune system.

Critics argue yeast ingredients can be linked to allergies. This may be true, but (like all allergies) only if your particular dog is allergic to the yeast itself.

What’s more, a vocal minority insists yeast can increase the risk of developing the life-threatening condition known as bloat. However, this is something we’ve not been able to scientifically verify.

In any case, UNLESS your dog is specifically ALLERGIC to it, we feel yeast should be considered a NUTRITIOUS addition.

We also note the use of TAURINE, an important amino acid associated with the healthy function of heart muscle. Although taurine is not typically considered essential in canines, some dogs have been shown to be deficient in this critical nutrient.

Since taurine deficiency appears to be more common in pets consuming grain-free diets, we view its presence in this recipe as a positive addition.

And lastly, this food contains chelated minerals, MINERALS that have been chemically attached to protein. This makes them easier to absorb. Chelated minerals are usually found in better dog foods.

Blue Buffalo Dog Food Review

Based on its ingredients alone, Blue Buffalo Wilderness Dog Food looks like an ABOVE-AVERAGE DRY PRODUCT.

The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 36%, a fat level of 16% and estimated carbohydrates of about 41%.

As a group, the brand features an average protein content of 36% and a mean fat level of 16%. Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 40% for the overall product line.

And a fat-to-protein ratio of about 43%.

Which means this Blue Buffalo product line contains…

Above-average protein. Near-average fat. And below-average carbs when compared to a typical dry dog food.

Even when you consider the protein-boosting effect of the pea products, flaxseed, alfalfa products and dried yeast, this looks like the profile of a kibble containing a SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MEAT.

Bottom line?

Blue Buffalo Wilderness is a GRAIN-FREE dry dog food using a significant amount of NAMED MEAT MEALS as its main source of animal protein, thus earning the brand 5 STARS.

Enthusiastically recommended.

The morning light shines through my window, hitting my face, bringing me back in to consciousness. I throw off my duvet cover, and the cats jumped off the bed in surprise. I have my fuzzy robe on within the minute, and after making my bed, my journey to the bathroom begins.

Brush teeth, wash face, comb hair. The morning routine has been drilled into my head for ages. But I like it that way. Orderly.  Routine. I start to make my way back to my bedroom, pausing at the first doorway on my left. It was the twin's room. A bunk bed in the corner, the top with a bright pink blanket, the bottom with a baby blue one. Toys scattered the floor, a half-full glass of dark red juice sitting on the bed-side table. I pick up the worn, stuffed rabbit from the carpet, feeling the threads, barely holding together. It was once my toy, but it was given my sister. No one ever asked me if I was okay with that, they just assumed I was finished with such childish things. I never liked the rabbit anyway, toys seem like a waste of time. I walk over to the dresser, running my finger along the edge of it, gazing at my reflection in the mirror on the wall. My dark hair falls just past my shoulders, contrasting the pale skin and light green eyes I inherited from my mother.

I softly close the door behind me as I exit the room, making my way to the next one. My eldest brother's room is even more messy than the twin's. Clothes and books and magazines and pens and CDs and game controllers and posters everywhere. They scattered the now-invisible floor and futon bed and red walls, like a collage of my brother and everything he was. The CDs he had bought at a yard sale last weekend lay piled beside the bed. A picture had been thrown to the ground, ripped in two. He had recently been broken up with, and seemed very distraught over it. I don't understand his emotions. Why would he feel sad about someone who didn't want him anyway? I slam his door as I leave, it had been difficult to close ever since him and my father had been playfully wrestling and broke through it. I remember it sounded like a gunshot, or at least what I thought a gunshot sounded like at the time. So loud and out of place.

The next door was to my parent's room. My mother had tried to keep it orderly, the effort was evident. Clothes folded, but never put away. A small garbage can in the corner, but it hadn't been changed in so long it had begun to overflow. Both had worked 9-5 jobs and had four children to raise - so keeping a neat room was not a priority. I lay down on the their cozy, king-sized bed, with its deep red comforter and silky white sheets. I could smell my mother's favourite perfume and my father's aftershave that my brother had bought for his birthday. Amateur hand-drawn pictures by my siblings lined the walls, maybe to remind the two that they had something to get up in the morning for. I slowly closed the door to the room, to avoid that irritating creaking sound it made.

As I enter my own room, I feel the breeze come in from the open window, blowing my hair behind me. Most of my room is white, the colour always looks neat. I gaze around at my books, all ordered alphabetically. At the bedside table, where my alarm clock and lamp are placed flawlessly parallel to each other. At the closet, where the transparent curtain covering it revealed the neatly hung clothes within. At the desk, where not a single thing is out of place. Perfection.

Hunger hits me suddenly, and I hang a sharp right outside my door to go downstairs. I ignore the sticky wetness under my feet as I put some bread in the toaster. I stare out at the cloudy sky through the window over the sink, an airplane speeds across and a flock of birds land in a  nearby tree. Sometimes I feel like I'm a bird - floating through life, often with no direction, no feeling. The popping toast breaks the perfect silence that had fallen over my house. I eat it plain, my hunger wouldn't allow for any more delay. I finish the toast, and sigh, my stomach finally satisfied. I feel content.

I turn around and look at the family kitchen. Red smears the walls, the cupboards, the counters, the floors. And the four bodies on the floor. Their faces and clothes and skin all covered with that ruby red substance. Some dishes and cutlery lay scattered with them, knocked down in the struggle. The colour coats the fallen items and people, blending them all together. Red. So much red.
A scream pierces the air, breaking that beautiful silence once more. A look of horror on our neighbour's face as she walked into the kitchen; I forgot she was coming by to pick up her casserole dish. I sat down in the crimson and ran my fingers through it as she sobbed into the telephone, summoning emergency services. I don't see what the emergency is - there's no saving those who are gone.

**Is it clear in the end that she is the one who killed them? In the last line, I am trying to show that she is emotionally "gone", and her family in gone in that they are dead. I also tried to have the colour red a few different times in the story. How do I make it better? Also need a title. Thanks for any help!**

STARING AT THE NORTHERN GLADES

I see in the vast snowfields ahead of me, a looming presence.
One of a morbid curiosity, one that wishes to ensnare me in the deep valleys and trap me atop the vast mountains.
I can't tell if this presence is sentient, if it is even real.
I look to the village at my back, a burned shadow. The wood-framed huts are charred, the ashes of civilization set to fertilize the dead souls that they bear.
The North, spoken in the villages adorning the Edge, was originally far away, a mere speck on the maps of the world.
I look down at my fur boots and see the evidence that the rumors are true; the frost slowly grows over a blade of glass until the weight pulls that blade down into submission.
The presence is one of morbid curiosity, for it wishes to cover everything in it's embrace. As I step onto the ice, I know I am next.

--------------------

THE FIREMAN

Officially, the end of the world does not exist. Officially, where I am standing experiences mild winters and brisk summers annually, and is a thriving production center for the logging industry. Officially, I am designated as the chief fireman of this official hamlet.
The men who hired me, many kilometers south of this official place, asked of me to officially guard the surrounding band of land, stretching 100 kilometers across.

That was ten days ago. I arrived yesterday to perform my job, which officially is to patrol and protect this 100 kilometer band of land, interspersed with slight hamlets and towns, from fires.

My real job is to use my talents to burn everything in this frozen hellhole to the ground.
Because, just north of where I am standing, is a huge glacier, stretching thousands of kilometers across, and growing. It's heading south at speeds that would allow it to reach the capital in two years.

They've tried catapults filled with flaming boulders. They've pleaded with the gods. They've even embezzled enough money from the Royal Treasury to send all of them to the gallows,.
The fat king doesn't know, the Archbishop is clueless, and the aristocrats that hired me are too scared to think straight; so they hired me.

They know my price to end this glacier. They know that for every person I burn down, the glacier will be slowed, just slightly.
They think that the people I've been sent to slaughter will slow the beast down enough for them to rest easy.
I look at the remains of the official hamlet surrounding me, the embers floating in the slight wind. I look at my hands made of pure fire, slightly worried at how they shake at the sight of the glacier and it's frozen embrace.

But, I have accepted my fate, and I will enjoy the mad and fiery descent into it.

------

I don't know why, but I had the urge to write about situations of apocalyptic and encroaching cold. I guess the two stories could fit in a single 'world', what with the narrator in SATNG looking at the ruins of a village burned by the Fireman.
Maybe I looked too much into it, but this is some of the first writing I've done since my last truly dedicated short story. Advice and criticism are more than welcome!

title: Two stories with similar, cold and deadly, themes [Staring At The Northern Glades] and [The Fireman]

question: What is going to happen to the narrator of Staring at the Northern Glades after the end of the story?

answer: They are going to freeze to death.

question: What would happen if the protagonist of The Fireman wasn't hired to stop the glacier?

answer: The glacier would crash into the capital, presumably destroying it.

question: How does the Fireman burn things?

answer: It is implied that he can shoot fire out of his hands.

To understand all this drama over the past few weeks about the Chargers, the team’s quest for a stadium and the mayor’s mediocre response, it helps to imagine the worst-case scenario for the Chargers.

The absolute worst thing that could happen to the team and owner Dean Spanos is if the St. Louis Rams or the Oakland Raiders move to Los Angeles. Check that, the worst would be if both moved to L.A.

[Scott Lewis on Politics Logo]

This would have two major impacts on the Chargers.

The first is a little hard to quantify. A few years ago, the Chargers hired AEG to help it market to L.A. and Orange County. This helped the team build a fanbase there. In fact, the Chargers’ special counsel Mark Fabiani claims 25 percent of the team’s season ticket base comes from the great megalopolis to our north.

We don’t have access to their numbers, so we have to just trust him.

He’s right, though, that this L.A. fanbase probably instantly dries up if either the Rams or Raiders or both move back to L.A.

The second major impact is more important: If other teams move to L.A., it will remove a major piece of leverage the Chargers have right now.

And that’s the nightmare for Spanos. If the team is stuck in San Diego, loses its market share in L.A. and Orange County and has no leverage against its current landlord as it wallows in Qualcomm Stadium, meekly arguing that it might, someday, have to move to San Antonio or St. Louis.

Of course, he’d still be the billionaire owner of an NFL football team in a beautiful city. Some people’s nightmares are worse than others’, I guess.

It’s a business nightmare. The Chargers are a tenant at Qualcomm Stadium. The city is the landlord. The Chargers can get out of their lease every year. They want a big tenant improvement if they are to consider a new, long-term lease.

I mean, they want an enormous tenant improvement. Their tenant improvement, in fact, would probably be the most expensive construction project the city has ever embarked on.

Some of us have more leverage in lease negotiations than others, I guess.

In that context, take a new look at what’s happening. The Chargers are saying to the mayor, in no uncertain terms, that he needs to persuade citizens to make about a $1 billion public investment in the team and the NFL or they will sign a lease somewhere else.

Now, this has been the status quo for quite some time. But the opportunities in L.A. were on the backburner. It suited the Chargers to wait and see if they ever came together.

Unfortunately, there’s a new catalyst disrupting things: a rich guy named Stan Kroenke.

Kroenke owns the St. Louis Rams. He recently announced that he’s going to build a stadium on his own land in Inglewood. He doesn’t need much public investment. He just got a measure qualified for the ballot.

Kroenke can move his own team there. Or he could invite the Chargers, or the Raiders or two of the three. Or, he’s rich enough to buy one of them.

This is both an exciting and frightening development for the Chargers. And it explains why everything is suddenly so tense between the Chargers and the mayor. It also explains why the team has suddenly become so candid about how hard it will be to get anything built in San Diego.

If you’re going to solve a problem, you have to be real about the problem.

Several years ago, if I had written this sentence: “It might be that – despite the great effort that has been expended – there is at least at this time no publicly acceptable solution to the stadium issue in San Diego” – it would have earned a rebuke from Fabiani.

Yet he actually wrote that sentence himself Monday. It was part of a series of points he made about how difficult the outlook is.

He told the mayor’s task force, for example, that it should not come up with a plan that can’t get the support of two-thirds of voters. And he’s admitted how difficult that is. Right now, public opinion is flipped: About two-thirds of San Diego residents oppose any public funding for a new stadium.

In 10 years, Fabiani has gone from claiming that public money was not needed to build a new stadium (just some land) to saying public money might be needed to insisting that it will be needed in giant bundles and it will require a tax increase.

It’s a rather stunning evolution.

And it’s quite a message to San Diego voters. The Rams owner plans to build his new stadium without this kind of public investment because of one major variable: preferred seat licenses, or PSLs. These are the rights fans buy just to be able to buy tickets to games.

Santa Clara and the San Francisco 49ers sold about 62,000 of them and raised $550 million.

“Our studies – and the real world experience of the Padres – demonstrate that we cannot sell PSLs in any significant numbers here in San Diego. A Task Force recommendation that ignores this reality will be worthless,” Fabiani wrote.

Are you seeing what they’re saying here? The market will not buy what they’re selling, so we have to raise taxes to make up the difference.

The Chargers want us to deal with these facts and overcome them.

Finally, when you realize how stressful this Kroenke move into L.A. is, it also helps you understand why Fabiani and the Chargers have blasted the mayor’s task force.

It is clear they have decided it is a farce. More importantly, the Chargers and Fabiani appear to have concluded that the task force might actually stand in the way of getting a project done.

They don’t have time for a farce.

At the forefront is the concern about the timeline I outlined here. Remember, the Chargers are panicking. If someone takes the L.A. market, there are serious consequences for them. A vote is probably happening on that stadium in June!

Yet the mayor is dancing an awkward dance. He’s trying to have it all ways. He’s clearly internalized the numbers about how bad the public sentiment is on investing tax dollars into the stadium. But he is also afraid of being the mayor who lost the team or of calling out the extortion he may feel the Chargers are exercising.

Faulconer wanted to show progress with the task force but he also did not want to risk taking a position on any of the many ideas for a stadium we’ve batted around for a decade. In particular, he still is not willing to say whether he supports the Chargers’ vision of a downtown stadium that connects to the Convention Center.

And yet, if they don’t start working on a plan soon, it’s hard to see how it will progress in time for the 2016 ballot, let alone before the Chargers feel like they have to make a decision.

They have more power than ever before but they can see it all evaporating unless they make a move as soon as possible. In that light, the team’s angst and attacks make a little more sense.

question: What is the worst thing that can happen to the Chargers?

answer: If the St. Louis Rams and/or the Oakland Raiders move to Los Angeles.

question: What is the nightmare situation for Chargers' owner Dean Spanos?

answer: Being in San Diego and losing market share in LA and Orange county.

question: What does the Chargers' special counsel claim?

answer: 25 percent of the team's season ticket base comes from the great megalopolis to the north.

question: What did the St. Louis Rams' owner announce?

answer: That he would build a stadium on his own land in Inglewood.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: The Chargers are facing growing concerns after the team's quest for a stadium is not well received by the mayor. The threat is the possibility of the St Louis Rams or Oakland Raiders or both moving into Los Angeles.

[Memphis 901 FC, the city's new pro soccer franchise, will begin play in the USL Championship in 2019.]
Craig Unger will always remember this September.

Most recently, the president and general manager of the Memphis Redbirds rode the organization’s unprecedented wave of success all the way to the Triple-A national championship. Two weeks prior, Unger watched as the fruits of his — and many others’ — labor came to fruition when one of Memphis’ newest professional sports teams, Memphis 901 FC, unveiled its name and logo. The same day, a sold-out crowd of almost 9,000 filled AutoZone Park for a friendly between the Colorado Rapids and Tulsa Roughnecks.

Unger, also the president of the 901 FC, admitted he took some time to revel in the triumphs.

“There’s still a buzz about (901 FC),” he said. “I think the game on (Sept. 1) was a great coming out party for us. And we’ve had a great time celebrating that as well as the magical year (the Redbirds had). But we’ve already turned our focus to 2019. You’ve got to turn the page quickly and sort of refocus.”

Among the most pressing matters facing the Redbirds this offseason is whether two-time Pacific Coast League Manager of the Year Stubby Clapp will be back. The job he’s done the two years he’s been in Memphis has been noticed by many. According to a recent report from USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale, multiple MLB teams have “strong interest” in Clapp as a potential managerial candidate.

Unger said Clapp is technically under contract with the St. Louis Cardinals.

“If you look at what Stubby has done here, I think it has been eye-opening,” he said. “I think if you tell someone, ‘You’ll have 62 different players over the course of a year,’ the job he’s done keeping those guys pulling in the same direction is special.

“I hope he’s back with us, in all sincerity.”

[]
At the same time, Unger and others are feverishly making headway on the soccer side of the coin. Memphis 901 FC, which will compete in the USL Championship — American professional soccer's second-highest league — opens training camp Feb. 1, with regular-season play beginning the weekend of March 9.

Andrew Bell, 901 FC's sporting director, said the team is currently fleshing out its preseason schedule.

“We’ll have a series of scrimmages before the season starts,” he said. “And I’d like to do one proper game here inside (AutoZone Park). Ideally, it would be against an MLS team that is also going through its preseason. I’ve had some preliminary discussions with some folks around MLS soccer. But, we’ll see. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

“But, certainly, we’ll be playing a series of college teams and maybe a couple of other professional teams as we prepare.”

Memphis 901 FC, which will be coached by Tim Mulqueen, has begun building its roster. Teams can carry as many as 27 players, but Bell said Memphis will likely not hit that limit.

USL teams play a total of 34 regular-season matches a year, half of which are played at home.

“The league is in the process of putting together our schedule and there’s no timetable for the release of it,” Unger said. “Sometime later this year would be my guess on it, though. But a lot of the games will be on Saturday nights.”

Early returns seem to indicate Memphis soccer fans’ excitement for the game and 901 FC remains as strong as it was just more than a month ago when 8,957 watched the Rapids beat the Roughnecks 3-2.

“I can tell you, we’re ahead of where we thought we’d be (in terms of ticket sales),” Bell said. “I spoke to the USL front office (recently) and apparently we’re ahead of every other startup team, and there are several. My hope is every Saturday we play at AutoZone Park, we’ll be sold out.”
