In 2010, Rendon would have been the first choice for many teams and could have made Mike Rizzo sleepless between selecting him over Bryce Harper. This is a report based off his 2t010 season and is what most scouts should use if they feel the ankle and shoulder are non-issues long term. I think he has rushed coming back from his ankle injury in the USA trails in order to keep him sitting atop many of the draft boards. I do not see why he will not revert to the form from last year and thus why I am basing my report on last season.

It's been 27 years since "Crocodile Dundee" came out in theaters -- and Mick and Sue are still together!
Costars-turned-real life couple Linda Kozlowski and Paul Hogan hit the red carpet this weekend at the G'Day USA Black Tie Gala on Saturday night in Los Angeles ... and showed how much they've changed since the 1986 flick.
The two, who met on the set of the first movie and married in 1990, still looked like one loving couple as Paul embraced his wife ... just like he did in a 1986 promo pic for the movie (above left).
And they weren't alone on the carpet. Joining them was the couple's teenage son, Chance (below left).
Both Paul and Linda have kept relatively low profiles since they costarred in the box office bomb "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" back in 2001.
See how some other manly men of the '80s and '90s have changed through the years in the gallery above!

#2 New England Revolution vs. #3 Chicago Fire – Eastern Conference semi-finals (total goals)
Chicago Fire 1, New England Revolution 0 (Game 1)
Toyota Park; Bridgeview, Ill.
October 22, 2006
After finishing the regular season one point shy of second place New England, the Chicago Fire would welcome the Revolution in the first-ever playoff game at Toyota Park.
Despite being outshot 12-8, the Fire would find the game's only goal in the 35th minute when Justin Mapp's placed his left footed free kick over the Revolution wall and inside the right post.
Fire goalkeeper Matt Pickens would come up huge in goal, making eight saves to tie Zach Thornton's record for most in an MLS playoff game.

The Fire looked to have command of the series early on when Mapp beat his marker to the end line on the right before centering for Nate Jaqua who touched his effort past Matt Reis at the near post, taking the aggregate score to 2-0.
New England didn't relent though and pulled things level in the 41st minute when Andy Dorman helped put Joey Franchino into the box on the left. The Revolution captain quickly crossed and picked out Taylor Twellman whose shot beat Pickens inside the left post.
The Revolution continued to threaten after the break and would bring things level when Jeff Larentowicz's shot from outside the box was stopped by C.J. Brown but the ball deflected straight to Pat Noonan who calmly finished past Pickens, eventually sending the match to extra time.
Both teams traded blows in the overtime periods but couldn't convert, pushing the game to penalty kicks.
Fire midfielder Thiago would miss the first take while New England converted each of their first four. Ivan Guerrero stepped up and saw his low shot to the left saved by Reis leaving Taylor Twellman to send home the winning penalty and the Fire in the process.

After going all the way to MLS Cup 2003, the Fire missed the postseason for the first time in club history the following year, losing 2-1 on the final day of the regular season at New England. The team regrouped and finished third in the East the following season, setting up another first round clash with D.C. United…

October 21, 2005
In what would be the club's final competitive match at Soldier Field, the Fire had the better of the play, outshooting D.C. 8-4 and holding United without a shot on goal.
In turn though, United played strategically, just trying to leave Chicago without a blemish and conceded only two shots on goal, both from Chris Rolfe in the 58th minute.

United's plan for the series would backfire early on in Game #2 when Thiago's corner from left bounced through the six yard box to find Jack Stewart streaking in at the back post. The then-Fire rookie would tally one of only two goals in a Fire shirt, sneaking his header past Doug Warren in the 10th minute.
Just before the half, another Fire rookie would help make his mark. This time Chris Rolfe danced into the box on the left and chipped in a cross from the end line before Brandon Prideaux headed away. The ball fell perfectly for Ivan Guerrero and the club's 2005 MVP buried his left footed effort in the 37th minute.
Guerrero would show why he earned the award deep into first half stoppage time. Again Rolfe danced like a ballerina on the ball just outside the area before laying back for Guerrero who hit first-time blast that left Warren flat-footed as the ball sailed inside the left post.
#1 New England Revolution 1, #3 Chicago Fire 0 – Eastern Conference Final
Gillette Stadium; Foxboro, Mass.
November 6, 2005
The Fire and Revolution would begin a five-year consecutive streak of postseason meetings with the Eastern Conference final at Gillette and once again an early goal would play the part.
The Revs would go up 1-0 in the fourth minute when Daniel Henandez's ball over the top found Shalrie Joseph in the box on the right. The veteran midfielder hit a low effort towards the back post which connected with Clint Dempsey sliding through to give New England the lead.
A chippy first half made things difficult for either team to find the goal but Jack Stewart provided the best effort in the 45th minute when he ran through midfield before unleashing a low shot that just went wide of the right post.
The Fire came close again in the 63rd minute as Ivan Guerrero collected the ball on the left before cutting inside and hitting a blistering right-footed effort that Matt Reis punched away at the far post.
A minute later Chad Barrett and Thiago played a quick combination which saw the Brazilian blast a drive towards the left post that Reis did well to hang on to.
A number of dangerous crosses and displays of Reis rolling on the ground later, the Fire found themselves with an apparent equalizer in stoppage time when Thiago's forward ball out of midfield found Gonzalo Segares in stride and saw the rookie defender tap the ball past Reis and into the net.
Stepping out of the goal, Segares' immediate joy turned to disbelief as linesman George Gansner held his flag up on the sideline resulting in a number of Fire players to crowd him. In the melee, Segares' fellow countryman Andy Herron was red carded for dissent, effectively ending the Fire's chances of sending the match to overtime.
The replay would vindicate Gansner's call, showing Segares was just a shade past the Revolution backline when Thiago hit the ball, leaving the team to rue a missed opportunity at a fourth MLS Cup appearance in eight years.

RFK Stadium; Washington, D.C.
November 1, 2003
Coming off a regular season in which the team finally fulfilled winning a Supporter's Shield, the Fire traveled to D.C. to open up its first two-game aggregate playoff series with United at RFK Stadium.
From the first whistle the Fire never seemed to break much of a sweat and went ahead in the fourth minute when a headed clearance from a United defender fell for midfielder Andy Williams 25 yards from goal. The Jamaican international took the ball on the half-volley and one-timed his right-footed effort past Doug Warren and inside the left post.
WATCH: 2003 MLS Cup Playoff Run
In control throughout, the Fire frustrated United throughout the match and saw former players Hristo Stoitchkov and Dema Kovalenko pick up yellow cards for dissent and bringing the game into disrepute.
Holding a 1-0 lead late, the Fire would take a 2-0 lead back to Soldier Field when Zach Thornton's clearance was flicked on by Nate Jaqua into the path of Ante Razov. The Fire's all-time leading goal scorer calmly chipped the ball over the onrushing Warren in the 94th minute.
Chicago Fire 2, D.C. United 0 (Game 2)

With D.C. needing two goals just to force extra time, the Fire again imposed their superiority in this match, putting United in the coffin with another early strike.
This time it was Willliams' countryman and 2003 Rookie of the Year Damani Ralph, who after a quick combination with Chris Armas outside the box, unleashed another long range blast, this time to the right of Warren, to give the Fire a 1-0 lead in the 17th minute.
The Fire would finish of United just after halftime when DaMarcus Beasley's cross from left bounced in the area before finding Razov who headed it back across goal for his second of the series, moving the team to the Eastern Conference final with a 4-0 aggregate victory.

Outshooting New England 20-7, the Fire clearly dominated the match from start to finish but a goal in regulation would elude the team at home.
Into extra time, it would be no one else but Chris Armas to provide the winner. Evan Whitfield worked his way up the right before pushing the ball to Justin Mapp at the endline.
The young winger centered a low cross that Ralph muffed before Armas tucked the ball in from close range, sending Soldier Field into pandemonium and the Fire back to MLS Cup for the third time in six seasons.
San Jose Earthquakes 4, Chicago Fire 2 – MLS Cup 2003
The Home Depot Center; Carson; Calif
November 14, 2009
The Fire pipped San Jose for the Supporters Shield during the regular season but it would be the Earthquakes that had the last laugh as they won their second MLS Cup in three seasons.
San Jose take the advantage as Ronnie Ekelund's fifth minute free kick and Landon Donovan's 39th minute finish took the Earthquakes into the break up 2-0.
After halftime, Andy Williams would feed DaMarcus Beasley into the box on the left and the young Fire winger tucked his effort inside the near post to cut the lead in half in the 49th minute.
Just as it looked like the Fire had momentum, San Jose would restore their two goal lead a minute later when Richard Mulrooney caught the backline sleeping after the goal.
The Fire would get some help back from the Earthquakes in the 54th minute when Chris Roner headed the ball into his own net.
Just two minutes later, Damani Ralph broke into the box on the left before being hauled down by Roner, forcing referee Brian Hall to point to the spot.
Despite battling sickness throughout the week, Fire leading striker Ante Razov stepped up to take the spot kick but was denied when his effort was denied by Pat Onstad's dive to the right.
With the missed opportunity, momentum seemed to shift back in San Jose's favor and as the Fire pushed for the equalizer, it would be Donovan who would put the game away with his second goal in the 71st minute.
As we get set to complete yet another regular season, it donned on me yesterday to look back at this masterpiece that Fire defender Dan Gargan captured and put together with the help of MLS videographers Scott Riddell and Albert Lanzillo.
Shot throughout preseason and the team's opening day 1-1 draw at Montreal's nearly sold-out Olympic Stadium, Dan's video showcased the preparation and work the team went through to get to that very monumental game back in March.
Looking back on it now, one of the most striking things is seeing how much the Fire have changed since January as you see a number of faces that are no longer with the club while also being reminded of just how many new faces have been added over the course of the year.
More than that though, this beautiful video reminds me as a fan and a writer of the cautious optimism we all had going into the year. Back then, if you'd have told Fire fans that had experienced the previous two years the team would be playing for second place in the East on the final day of the, everyone would have taken it.
Flash forward to today and that's exactly where we are and yet we know the opportunities were there to go even higher.
Still, today the Fire play arguably the most important game at Toyota Park since the last time the team was in the postseason.
And so, re-watching this inspiring video is special to me for multiple reasons, but the most important is that it serves to remind how far this team has come in the three years I've been here but also the hard work that was put it back in January to get to this point.
Before heading out to Toyota Park today, take 2 minutes and 23 seconds out of your regular pre-game ritual, watch this video, and soak in how far this team has come in 2012.
It all comes down to Saturday. With one game remaining in the 2012 MLS Regular Season, the Fire host D.C. United Saturday, Oct. 27 at 3:00 p.m. CT (NBC Sports Network), the meat of the tripleheader sandwich.
While the Fire have clinched a spot in the post season, Saturday's match is crucial for seeding purposes. With a victory, the Men in Red, currently in third place, will take sole possession of second place. With a loss, the Fire could find themselves as low as fifth place.
Though two-time German World Cup veteran Arne Friedrich is experiencing playoff soccer for the first time in his career, he understands the implications of Saturday's match.
"Our one goal is to win the game," said Friedrich.
One of the keys to victory for the Fire will be making sure to get the ball to forward Chris Rolfe. With teams now choosing to man-mark Rolfe, he told MLSsoccer.com that "It's been a little bit more of a challenge finding the ball."
Another key storyline for Saturday will be the battle between the Fire's Austin Berry and D.C. United's Nick DeLeon, two of the front-runners for the Rookie of the Year race. The former college teammates have been enjoying the campaigns put together by their respective clubs.
"I was dying laughing," said Berry about D.C. United's video in which DeLeon says, "I eat defenders for breakfast."
Berry and his centerback partner Arne Friedrich both made Brian Straus and the Sporting News' short list for the highly-anticipated year end awards.
With both head coach Frank Klopas and striker Sherjill MacDonald imploring fans to get in the stands early Saturday, 'keeper Sean Johnson stopped by WGN Wednesday morning to discuss the importance of home field advantage at Toyota Park, so make sure to get in early and spur your Men in Red on to victory.
With one game left and all to play for, there's no doubt that Saturday's game against D.C. United (LIVE 3pm CT on NBC Sports Network) is the the Fire's biggest game of the season to date. A win and the team finishes in second place in the Eastern conference and enjoys home field advantage for the Conference Semis. A loss or tie against DC and the Fire's destiny is out of their own hands, with a place between third and fifth in the cards. That being said, lets look at some tactical points for the big match.
Andy Najar - don't fool me twice
Andy Najar's coming out party as a right back was against the Fire in August when he put in a Man of the Match performance in a 4-2 win at RFK Stadium. Najar should start at right back again Saturday afternoon and the Fire will need to a much better job of containing him this time out. Against the Columbus Crew last week, Najar pushed forward constantly and provided an outlet for DC on the right. Columbus allowed Najar far too much room and he duly obliged by looking to cross the ball whenever possible.
WATCH: Fire vs. United Preview
D.C.'s midfielders look to switch the field of play to the advanced Najar whenever possible, something the Fire must look out for. For all his attacking prowess however, Najar can get caught too far up the field, something the left side tandem of Gonzalo Segares and Patrick Nyarko will be looking to exploit if the opportunity arises.
Stopping United from playing our game - target striker
D.C. sets up in a similar way to the Fire, namely with a target striker with an attacking mid/second striker playing just behind him. Against Columbus last week, Maicon Santos played just behind target man Lionard Pajoy. The partnership is still in its infancy, but should continue from the start on Saturday afternoon.
Against Columbus, Pajoy and Cesar did not combine well, often drifting too far from one another to effectively link up. DC's wide men, Chris Pontius and Nick DeLeon, did their best to move central and support Pajoy whenever possible. Both of the wide players tendency to move inside caught Columbus short handed on a few occasions, especially when one of the wide men failed to drop back.
D.C. are not a team blessed with many creative players who look to take on their opponents, especially without Dwayne De Rosario. If the Fire can cut the supply line to Pajoy and force United to resort to trying to take them on it will work to the Men in Red's advantage.
D.C.'s midfield - attacking through the middle
Similar to the Fire, United set up with two holding midfielders, Perry Kitchen and Marcelo Saragosa. In last week's game against Columbus, both players were exposed by some neat interplay between the Columbus midfielders who quite simply passed the ball around Kitchen and Saragosa at times, especially in the first half.
Part of the reason for the exposure was because D.C.'s more advanced midfield trio failed to drop back quickly enough to support the holding midfielders when United lost possession. In the second half, this happened a lot less frequently, but it certainly is an area in which the Fire can try to take advantage. If the Fire can get midfielders forward in numbers, something they haven't been able to do as often in the last few games, then they could put some real pressure on the D.C. holding midfield core.
The return of Pardo - an experienced head for a big game
Since losing Pavel Pardo, the Fire have gone 3-3-0 in his six game absence. In the six games prior, the team won five and lost one. That stat alone gives you an indication as to how important Pavel is to the team.
His partnership with Logan Pause in the Fire engine room is one big reason for the Fire being a lot harder to break down this year. Pardo also reads the game as well as anyone in MLS, constantly positioning himself well to intercept a pass or pick up an advancing midfielder.
Having Pardo, a man with almost 150 caps for Mexico, will also be extremely important for the playoffs, especially because three of the five behind him have no postseason experience. Pardo's return gives the team an added boost ahead of the biggest game of the season to date.
Prediction: This game is going to be just as intense and nerve wracking as a playoff game but a sold out crowd at Toyota Park should give the Fire the advantage. 1-0 Fire with the goal coming from Chris Rolfe.
Coming within a Golden Goal of advancement to MLS Cup 2001, the Chicago Fire suffered untimely injuries to the likes of Chris Armas and Josh Wolff, falling in four of their final five regular season matches to limp into the club's fifth consecutive postseason in 2002.

The regular season's Eastern Conference champions would go ahead early in the 13th minute when Joey Franchino's free kick from the left out picked out Taylor Twellman in the box who nodded past Zach Thornton for his first career MLS Cup playoff goal.
The Fire nearly equalized minutes later when Jesse Marsch's skipping shot was turned away by Revs goalkeeper Adin Brown, marking the Men in Red's only shot on goal in the match.
The halftime insertions of Hristo Stoitchkov and Dipsy Selolwane to aid Ante Razov and DaMarcus Beasley in attack came to little avail as New England iced the game on 60 minutes when Daniel Hernandez buried a long-distance blast, rebounding off of Zach Thornton's punched clearance.
The result gave New England plenty of wind in its sails heading back to Chicago for Game 2.

The Fire would equalize just before the half when Revs defender Jay Heaps collided with Ante Razov in the area, forcing referee Ricardo Valenzuela to point to the spot. On the ensuing spot kick, Razov tucked his left-footed take inside the right post to equalize before the break.
Into the 76th minute, Carlos Bocanegra fed Kelly Gray in midfield where the young Fire utility player strolled towards the box before playing a beautiful through ball that Razov poked past Adin Brown to give the Fire a 2-1 victory and tie the series at 3-3.

New England would prove too powerful in the rubber match back at Gillette Stadium.
For the second straight match, Brian Kamler would tally the first goal when he took a feed from Leo Cullen before beating Dema Kovalenko down the left wing and CJ Brown in the box to finish past Thornton in the 13th minute.
Despite outshooting the Revolution 17-11 on the night, the Fire couldn't beat Adin Brown and would have their first round elimination confirmed when Daniel Hernandez slipped between DaMarcus Beasley and Jim Curtin before sending a cross to find Twellman in the box. The MLS newcomer half-volleyed his effort past Thornton for his second of the playoffs, giving the Revs their first ever postseason series victory on the way to a spot in the MLS Cup finals.
After two runs to the MLS Cup Final in three seasons, the high-flying Chicago Fire finished the 2001 MLS Regular Season similar to the previous year, winning the Central division and tying for the league's best record (this time with Miami) only to be seeded second, losing on the tiebreaker to the Fusion.
Things might have gone differently if not for Ariel Graziani popping up once again to spoil the day in a match that would end up being the team's last game of the 2001 season.
In that game played September 8 at Soldier Field, the Burn came back from a 2-0 deficit to earn a 2-2 draw with Graziani once again the culprit, scoring the 91st minute equalizer. Had the Fire been victorious in the match, the team would have eventually been awarded its first MLS Supporters Shield.
Alas, three days later everything changed with the September 11 terrorist attacks. With all eight playoff teams known at that point, MLS decided to cancel the remaining regular season games and move to the playoffs roughly nine days later, meaning the Fire would once again face Dallas in an opening round playoff series.

With the end of the September 8 game and memories of the devastating 1999 playoff defeat to Dallas fresh in their minds, it would be safe to say that the Fire held feelings of revenge in their hearts going up against their Brimstone Cup rivals.
The team would breakthrough just before halftime when Eric Wynalda's free kick from the left picked out Carlos Bocanegra unmarked at the six, leaving the young Fire center back an easy header past Matt Jordon in the 40th minute.
Though the Fire held an 8-3 shots on goal advantage in the match, they weren't able to put the Burn away until very late. Dallas would be awarded a direct free kick deep into stoppage time. Desperately looking for an equalizer, Jordan came all the way up the field to provide numbers but would regret it when Oscar Pareja's take was hit straight into the wall before Peter Nowak intercepted a pass to start the counter attack.
The Fire captain fed a streaking Evan Whitfield in alone up the field and the current Fire color analyst outpaced Dallas defender Justin Evans to tuck the ball away and give the Fire a 2-0 victory in Game 1.

The Burn forward would find Chad Deering streaking through midfield and played a pinpoint pass into the box that the U.S. international one-timed past Zach Thornton in the 27th minute.
It looked as though Dallas would tie the series up at three points each the Fire had other ideas. In the 84th minute, Peter Nowak penetrated towards the middle of the field before feeding Dema Kovalenko into the box. The Ukrainian fired a quick effort that Matt Jordan did well to save but substitute striker Jamar Beasley was on the doorstep to equalize.
After 10 minutes of extra time, Beasley's goal would stand to send the series back to Chicago with the Fire needing only a draw in Game 3 to advance.

Needing only a tie, the Fire would go for the jugular in the second half when Nowak made one of his patented long runs through midfield. The Fire captain entered the box on the left and saw a bit of confusion when his last touch on the ball was a bit heavy, allowing for Chris Armas to bury the second goal in the 55th minute and send the Fire to its third MLS Cup semifinal in four years.

The Galaxy would equalize just before halftime after Chris Armas was judged to have brought down Sasha Victorine at the top of the penalty area. Vaunted Galaxy striker Luis Hernandez saw his spot kick saved by Zach Thornton but buried the rebound to tie the score in the 44th minute.
The Fire would be dealt a blow in the 60th minute when Evan Whitfield was shown a straight red card for pulling down Cobi Jones who was in alone on goal. Despite playing a man down for the final 30 minutes of regulation and 10 more in overtime, the Fire escaped the match with a point in the 1-1 draw.

Titan Stadium, Fullerton, Calif.
October 13, 2001
The Fire returned to the site where the team fell in U.S. Open Cup semifinals nearly two months before and already without Whitfield due to his one-match suspension, would be dealt another blow when Peter Nowak left the game at halftime with a hamstring strain, ending his participation in the remainder of the team's playoff run.
In eerie similarity to the the August Open Cup match, the game would head to overtime and see another Galaxy winner come in the 94th minute when Peter Vagenas tallied off a Luis Hernandez feed, giving the Galaxy a 4-1 points advantage heading back to Chicago for Game 3.
LA Galaxy 2, Chicago Fire 1 (OT) (Game 3)
Soldier Field, Chicago, Ill.
October 13, 2001
Returning home, the Fire would once again take the early lead at Soldier Field when Chris Armas fed DaMarcus Beasley through in the 30thminute.
Again though, similarities to a previous match between the two sides would reign supreme. This time when the Galaxy's Danny Califf would tally the equalizer in the 44th minute (the same time as Luis Hernandez's penalty put back in Game 1) that would eventually send the match to extra time.
In the overtime period, LA's Mauricio Cienfuegos would tally his second overtime winner of the postseason, finishing off the Fire in the 98th minute and sending the Galaxy to their third MLS Cup appearance.
For the Fire, it would mark the team's first home playoff loss in four seasons.
Yesterday I detailed the heartbreak of the 1999 Western Conference semifinals against Dallas. Today, we look at the run to MLS Cup 2000…
With new commissioner Don Garber coming on board the previous fall, new rules were put in place for the 2000 season, namely 10 minutes of extra time instead of a shootout to decide tied games, the clock counting up (like the rest of the world) instead of down and perhaps hailing to his roots in the NFL, a switch to three divisions of four teams instead of two conferences of six.
Even though the Fire set club records for both points (57) and goals scored (67) in a season, the team still tied for first with Kansas City, but the Wizards owned a superior goal differential (by two goals), leaving the Fire the second seed heading into the postseason.
Because the 2000 playoff run ended up being the longest in club history (7 games) descriptions will be a tad bit shorter.
#2 Chicago Fire vs. #7 New England Revolution – MLS Cup quarterfinals (best of 3)
Chicago Fire 2, New England Revolution 1 (Game 1)
Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill.
September 15, 2000
It would take just four minutes for the Fire to respond though as Revs defender Mauricio Wright attempts a headed clearance of Peter Nowak's free kick but instead hits it off the underside of the cross bar and into goal to equalize.
Fiery, second-year midfielder Dema Kovalenko would provide the winner in the 73rd, receiving a perfect chip from Hristo Stoitchkov in stride before beating a Revolution defender and finishing past Jeff Causey to give the Fire a 1-0 series lead.
New England Revolution 2, Chicago Fire 1 (Game 2)
Foxboro Stadium in Foxboro, Mass.
September 19, 2000
The Fire would surrender the first goal in Game 2 as well when Wolde Harris picked up a loose ball on the right before springing future Fire forward Eric Wynalda through before the then all-time U.S. goal scorer tucked the ball inside the right post for a 1-0 lead.
Dema Kovalenko would find the 83rd minute equalizer when defender Tenywa Bonseu played a 35-yard ball forward from the right sideline and over three player into the path of the Ukrainian midfielder to finish past Causey for the second straight match.
The tying goal would stand only three minutes when Jose Luis Morales's free kick found Mauricio Wright who redeemed his own goal from Game 1 by heading the winner home inside the left post to send the series back to force Game 3 in Chicago.
Chicago Fire 6, New England Revolution 0 (Game 3)
Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill.
September 22, 2000
While Games 1 and 2 were tight, from nearly the first whistle Game 3 was a complete shellacking as the Fire took a 1-0 lead when Ante Razov cleanly finished DaMarcus Beasley's cross in the fifth minute.
Hristo Stoitchkov would put his name on the scoresheet first in the 14th when Kovalenko crossed for the Bulgarian who finished from the left. Three minutes later, Stoitchkov let loose on a 50 yard run before slipping his effort through the legs of Causey.
Into first half stoppage time, Stoitchkov heads Peter Nowak through the middle of the field before the Polish midfielder rockets his effort into the back of the net.
With the game firmly in hand after halftime, the Fire would provide two more strikes as Razov finished Stoitchkov's pass in the 65th before Same George cleaned up Razov's rebound in the 75th. The final goal gave Fire the then most lopsided victory in club history as well as advanced the club back to the MLS Cup semifinals.
#2 Chicago Fire vs. #3 MetroStars – MLS Cup semifinals (best of 3)
Chicago Fire 3, MetroStars 0 (Game 1)
Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill.
September 26, 2000
Despite the Metros holding a 9-7 shots on goal advantage by game's end, the Fire carried the momentum from the previous match over to Game 1.
WATCH: 2000 Eastern Conference Final and MLS Cup
The home side would go up 1-0 in the 21st when Dema Kovalenko's shot from the right eludes the dive of Mike Petke and falls perfectly for Hristo Stoitchkov who taps in from close range.
In the 35th minute, Chris Armas steals the ball at midfield, dibbles down the center channel and plays Jesse Marsch into the right corner. The veteran midfielder then crosses to the middle of the box for Kovalenko, providing the second-year Fire player his third goal of the playoffs.
The team would close out the game late when Diego Gutierrez chips DaMarcus Beasley into space up the left. The rookie winger dribbles around Metros 'keeper Paul Grafer before centering for Razov for an easy finish in the 84th minute to give the Fire a 3-0 win.
MetroStars 2, Chicago Fire 0 (Game 2)
Giants Stadium in The Meadowlands, NJ
September 30, 2012
The MetroStars would bounce back with a solid performance in Game 2, using Mark Chung's individual effort in the 40th before Adolfo Valencia iced the match in the 84th to send the series back to Chicago for the MLS Cup decider a week later.
Chicago Fire 3, MetroStars 2 (Game 3)
Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill.
October 6, 2012
The Fire would get on the board early when Hristo Stoitchkov's corner finds its way through traffic before finding C.J. Brown who touches it inside the left post, scoring his only MLS Cup playoff goal and just one of six in his 13-year FIRE career.
The Men in Red looked to be coasting to an easy victory in the 31st when Ante Razov laid off a ball for Stoitchkov on the left. The former European Player of the Year juked Mike Petke before lashing a beater past Mike Ammann to take a 2-0 lead. If his goal wasn't spectacular enough, his fishing-pole celebration certainly was.
The advantage would be erased within five minutes though as Adolfo Valencia tallied his second and third goals of the series. The first would come just a minute after Stoitchkov's strike, as the Colombian forward glanced in Petke's cross from the right. Four minutes later midfielder Alex Comas' shot was spilled by Zach Thornton and Valencia was there to clean up the rebound.
After a back and forth second half, the Fire would eventually find the winner in the 88th minute when Chris Armas sent a long ball up the middle of the field for a streaking Razov. The club's all-time leading goal scorer beat the offside trap, took a few touched and finished to the right of Ammann to send the team to its second MLS Cup final in three seasons.
#1 Kansas City Wizards (1-0) #2 Chicago Fire – MLS Cup Final
Played October 15, 2000 at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C.
After the two sides tied on points during MLS regular season, they would fittingly meet in that year's MLS Cup final.
The Fire would go down early in the 11th minute when Chris Klein streaked up the right and crossed for Danish striker Miklos Molnar. On a bit of a broken play, Molnar's first attempt deflected off of Jesse Marsch but then fell for him to tap in from close range.
The Fire would take charge of the rest of the match being thwarted time and time again by Wizards goalkeeper Tony Meola. Going through a career renaissance that year, the veteran U.S. international would make a frustrating 10 saves in the match. I'll save the trouble of describing each one by just saying you should watch the highlight video.
After a disappointing finish in 1999, the Fire put in a valiant effort in 2000, falling just one hurdle short of a second MLS Cup in three years of existence.
Six days later though, the team would get some redemption by hoisting its second Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with a 2-1 victory over Miami.

Restaurant gives parents discount for 'well-behaved' kids
Image of receipt goes viral on Reddit
Published On: Feb 05 2013 03:02:30 PM EST
An image posted on Reddit of another unusual message on a restaurant bill has gone viral, the Huffington Post reports.
But instead of a complaint about tipping, a restaurant instead rewarded the parents with a $4 discount for 'well-behaved kids.'
The image was posted on Reddit by user farthoven three days ago, commenting with the picture "if only all restaurants did this for people with kids."
The post comes on the heels of another popular image of a message on a receipt where a pastor refused to leave a tip for his waitress at Applebee's, claiming he "gives God 10 percent."

Identity fraud crimes continue to climb at locations across Utah and throughout the United States.
Frequently, the first notices consumers may receive indicating that criminal offenders have fraudulently assumed identities involve:
Calls from collection agencies demanding payment on overdue accounts the victims never opened.
The failure of monthly billing statements to arrive in the mail and victims find out that addresses on the valid credit accounts have been changed by an unauthorized individual or individuals.
The majority of victims never learn how the identity thieves accessed personal information, pointed out the Utah Division of Consumer Protection.
In fact, it may be impossible for Carbon County consumers to prevent access to all personal information, which is readily available to potential thieves and junk mail marketers from a variety of sources, noted the state agency.
The consumer protection division encourages Carbon County residents to implement several preventative measures to reduce the risks of falling victim to identity theft crimes.
The division advises local consumers to:
Always question the information gathering and handling practices of merchants, financial institutions, creditors, government agencies, employers, educational institutions and others.
Never provide personal, bank account or credit card information to individuals contacting consumers through a telephone solicitation.
Instead, the state agency encourages Carbon County residents to demand mailed information from telephone solicitors.
Consumers should then use the information to research the company, products and services.
Store items with personal information in safe, preferably secure places.
People should keep lists of all account numbers, expiration dates and customer service phone numbers in a secure place so they can quickly contact creditors in case cards are lost or stolen.
Tear, shred or destroy all automatic teller machine and bank receipts, old insurance forms, bank checks, expired credit cards and papers that include personal information, identification and account numbers.
The paperwork in question includes pre-approved credit card solicitations, explained the division of consumer protection.
Thieves oftentimes search through garbage to find forms and use the information to apply for credit cards in the victims' names, explained the consumer protection division.
Carry a minimal number of credit cards and items containing personal information.
Cancel all inactive bank and credit card accounts.
Inactive accounts appear on credit reports, which can be accessed by thieves, stressed the division of consumer protection.
Never leave envelopes containing checks in unsecured home mailboxes.
Due to the increased risk of theft, it is best to mail bills and other sensitive items at the post office, rather than from private residences, indicated the division of consumer protection.
When creating passwords or personal identification numers, consumers should never use the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, birth dates, middle names, mother's maiden names, addressed or anything that could be discovered by thieves.
Social security numbers--ask to have an alternative number where social security numbers are used for identification by schools, employers, or other institutions; resist writing your social security number on checks where possible, keep tax records and other financial documents in a secure place and destroy or delete social security numbers from any documents before throwing them away.
People should never give or write names and addresses down in conjunction with credit card salse.
Local residents may want to have names, addresses and phone number deleted from solicitation lists by writing to Direct Marketing Associations Mail Preference Service, PO Box 9008, Farmingdale, NY 11735 and Telephone Preference Service, PO.Box 9015, Farmingdale, NY 11735.
People should consider using other security passwords for financial accounts rather than common identifiers like a mother's maiden name and birth date.
Local residents who have drivers license numbers pre-printed on checks should always shred canceled checks before throwing away.
Consumers should monitor credit reports on a regular basis.
People should check reports for changed addresses and fraudulent account information.
Consumers should check monthly billing statements for fraudulent charges and report unlawful activity immediately.
Carbon County residents who not receive statement s on time should call the creditors first and then the post office to determine of fraudulent changes of address have been filed in their names, concluded the Utah Division of Consumer Protection

A. Schulman reports drop in earnings, restructuring in Europe and the US
July 1, 2013 | Lindsay Frost
A. Schulman today reported net income for the quarter ended 31 May of $5.2 million, down 70% year-on-year (YOY). Net sales of $548 million fell 3% YOY, with the company citing he continued sluggish economic environment in Europe, partially offset by incremental net sales from recent acquisitions. Schulman says that adjusted earnings from continuing operations was 50 cts/share, down 29% YOY. The result was 23% below analyst estimates, as reported by Thomson Reuters (New York), of 65 cts/share. "The weak economic environment in Europe has...

By TOM MCCOURTSun Advocate Columnist
In case you missed it, there's a big controversy brewing in Alaska. A controversy that might affect all of us in a big way. Environmental groups are insisting that polar bears be placed on the endangered species list. Groups like Greenpeace, the Center for Biological Diversity, and the Natural Resources Defense Council are threatening to sue if the government fails to "protect" the polar bears. The amazing thing about this is, there are two or three times as many polar bears today as there were 40 years ago.
So what's behind all of this? Chalk it up to the politics of global warming. The green people see white bears as a way to control our economy and our future. Here is how it works.
The arctic ice is melting. Glaciers are retreating and ice flows in the oceans are diminishing. Polar bears use floating ice as a base of operations for hunting seals. Less ice means less bear habitat. Less bear habitat means a future with fewer bears. The "threat" of reduced bear numbers makes the bears an endangered species. Hola! Time for bear lovers everywhere to rally 'round the icebergs.
The premise is, that the ice is melting as a result of greenhouse gases from automobiles and power plants.The bears are drowning because there is less ice for the bears to rest on. Sometime in the future, all of the bears will be fish food. We've got to save the ice to save the bears. To save the ice, we've got to stop global warming. To stop global warming, we've got to turn the calendar back to a pre-industrial world like the nineteenth-century. To turn the calendar back, we've got to give political power to people like Al Gore and his eco-warriors. But until that happens, the next best thing is to declare polar bears an endangered species. That way the tree huggers can tie up our nation's energy production, development, and consumption in the courts under the guise of saving the bears. Under this plan, you can bet that any new power plant, coal mine, oil rig or new car in the lower 48 states will have a significant detrimental effect on the arctic ice and the endangered bears. It's a great way for Greenpeace and their buddies to impose their will and political philosophy on the rest of us.
The problem is, the bears are not endangered. Before seal hunting was heavily regulated in the 1970s, the polar bear population was estimated to have been less than 10,000 bears. Today, after extensive conservation efforts and with more seals to eat, there are as many as 25,000. A good success story, right? But wait, the ice is retreating. The bears might drown - someday. So in spite of having more bears than we've ever had before, we've got to protect them as an endangered species.
As proof of the theory, the bear watchers say they found four dead bears floating in the ocean last year, far from the nearest icepack. They presume the bears drowned from not having any ice to rest on. They don't say the bears were ever autopsied, and a fact often omitted is the dead bears were found shortly after big arctic storms. Being washed out to sea during storms is a hazard the bears have faced for thousands of years.
And then of course, there is the inconvenient truth that global warming - and global cooling - are natural and normal earth cycles. Ice sheets have covered North America several times in the past million years. And each time global warming came along to melt the ice and screw up the bears. Could it be that we are living in the tail end of one of those warming cycles? Could it be that in another 50 or 200 years the cycle might reverse itself and the glaciers come roaring back? It happened many times before we had SUVs and industrial smokestacks.
Now don't get me wrong. I love icebergs and polar bears just as much as the next guy. I'm just not ready to turn out the lights and drive a golf cart to make Greenpeace happy. But I really do admire their compassion for the bears. I just wish they could find the same compassion for cowboys and coal miners.
With all of the pseudo-wilderness being manufactured in the west, we're running out of habitat too.

The day may have been drizzly and red carpet decidedly soggy, but Hollywood refused to let the weather put a damper on the SAG Awards. Not only did the stars of both small and big screen turn out, there were even some unexpected (read: fresh) looks walking the press line.
Kate Beckinsale has an excellent picker when it comes to event dresses, as seen by her attention-capturing, canary yellow organza, Luisa Beccaria frock. The dress came with a large flower detail at the waist, which Beckinsale traded for a Van Cleef & Arpel diamond broach. Crimson was the color of choice for Rebecca Gayheart-or Toni Marchette, as she's known 'round the office-who chose a Marchesa dress. Gayheart furthered her classic Hollywood look with Neil Lane diamond and platinum earrings and a Mary Norton clutch. Newbie Kristen Stewart was sophisticated (but not stuffy) in her navy gown with Grecian folds, while Keisha Whitaker chose a similarly detailed dress in cotton candy chiffon. Whitaker embellished her Jenny Packham dress with Neil Lane jewelry and a Daniel Swarovski silver crystal mesh clutch. Another red carpet standout moment came courtesy of Jamie Lynn Sigler, who looked quite chic in Calvin Klein and 12-carat Fred Leighton diamond earrings. We were also seriously charmed by America Ferrera's style at the SAG Awards. Wearing Jimmy Choo's Macy heels and a gray, one shouldered, Monique Lhuillier dress, Ferrera looked totally soigne and self-possessed.
Ashley Tisdale picked an age-appropriate and sweetly sexy Badgley Mishka gown from their Spring 08 Couture collection. The detailing at the neck imparts a sporty vibe and keeps the floor-length frock from looking too bridal. Jena Malone was a thrill in her super fashion-forward Hussein Chalayan dress, Prada heels, and Lelya clutch. While we're sure that pundits won't get her edgy choice, we were so pleased to see someone with a less obvious point of view on the red carpet. Becki Newton chose a tiered Elsie Katz dress that looked very of-the-moment while Olivia Wilde went for an elegant Farah Angsana gown in a soft blue-gray color. Finally, Kate Hudson chose a strapless Balmain number that seemed a sensible selection, given her cashmere hippie personal style. While the dress had a bohemian spirit, Hudson's jewelry was decidedly luxurious. The actress chose a pair of $100,000 Cartier diamond studs to put a little sparkle in the otherwise gray day.

Stretchy Terry Knit Dress Keeps You in Your Comfort Zone
Popover Terry Knit Dress 4 4
this product is very comfortable Looking for a reasonable price along with quality is tough sometimes on line. If you shop at The Vermont Country store, no worries. I love my terry dress. he size is right on and it washes wonderfully. November 12, 2013
Freedom and Comfort It's great to be free of zippers and buttons, and just pop this over your head. It's a nice weight terry that feels wonderful any time, especially after a shower. And I'm very glad that you were out of blue, forcing me to buy yellow -- and to my surprise, this shade of yellow looks pretty good on me. I have very fair skin, and never thought I could wear yellow before. July 24, 2013
Great for everyday around the house. Purchased for my 87 year old mother. Good quality and fit. Already washed and came out perfect. Will probably buy some different colors in same dress. June 7, 2013
The most comfortable, ever I bought this terry knit popover in the blue a few years ago, and then in the peach about a year ago. I wear it around the house for lounging and at other times I use it like a robe,putting it on over a nylon nightgown. It is the most comfortable piece of clothing that I own. I would also recommend it for people who might have some arthritis issues because it is so easy to put on, just toss it over your head, put your arms through the roomy sleeves, and you're done! One of the nicest qualities about this popover is the way it washes. No matter what gets spilled on it, I just toss it in the washer and dryer and it comes out like it was brand new. Perhaps the only drawback to this item is that you will want to wear it all the time! Now, I do have a request for Vermont Country Store - would you please consider having this made in some additional colors for us? Say, lime green, pink, or lavender? Thank you. February 28, 2013

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Popover Terry Knit Dress …
"I just love the fit and feel. It's perfect for slipping on after a shower and pretty enough to wear until I'm ready to leave the house. I'm going to order one for my mother, and I just might treat myself to another color." - Linda, Lansdale, PA

I go away for a year and come back to people telling me I can't duel anymore unless I have prem, I can't even play decent CA maps anymore without prem, most of my dueling partners have stopped playing, most of the CA crowd have stopped playing. What the hell man?
I wouldn't be oppossed to buying prem again if I felt like I was getting my moneys worth, but $50 for a years subscription to a game based on a decade+ old game engine with a dying community which has been forced into the business model of 'make the free offering as **** as possible to force people into giving us money' because of probably the worst decision making a high end gaming company has ever made.
ID must be kicking themselves in the nuts. They have this fantastic game design that has lasted through the ages with a name as popular and well known as Quake and failed to make any real profit in the last few years and are now forcing people into paying for something they had years ago by removing so much of the game in the free version. If the only way to make a profit in your company is to make other things you have **** on purpose, you have failed, you have failed hardcore because it guarantees no future growth now that you have alienated new players completely.
ID treats quake like a zealot fighting 3 stalkers, you know the zealot is dead, it has no chance so the only thing to do is to send it after the weakest stalker and hope the guy isn't paying attention.
Let me tell you ID how to get back into the business. Take quake pretty much exactly like it is now, throw it in some fancy as **** new engine with super duper lights and ****, add in a new gun to make things a touch more interesting, but not something as dumb as that nail or mine whatever gun or those other stupid guns no one cares about. Add in something that has a place and a purpose. Look at UT for inspiration because you clearly have no ****ing inspiration of your own. Throw in an XP system to reward players with progression like any popular game these days and then throw in a matchmaking system as good as Blizzards or LoL/hon or whatever on top of dedicated server supprt. Throw in mod tools, Call it quake 5 and be proud to be ID again.

The last time Carbon and Park City met up, the game stayed close for a full three quarters until the Lady Dinos got serious and put things away. This time it was less than five minutes into the first quarter before the Miners found themselves left in the dust as the Lady Dinos buried them 82-40 Friday night.
Park City hit the first points of the game and for a short time the game stayed pretty even. Then with things tied at eight, Carbon went on a 33-0 run that lasted well into the second quarter.
Coach Cami Carlson emptied her bench before the Miners could find a way to put a point on the board. The seven points that the Park City starting five did manage in the second quarter were all off the youngest Dinos on the bench.
The Carbon starting core were back in to start the third, and quickly moved the deficit for Park City to more than 20. Coach Carlson had the luxury of liberally rotating her entire bench in and out to get some really good court time. Thirteen Lady Dinos scored in all.
Sara Potts was top scorer for the night with 15. Mariah Pollock also had a good night as she added 13. Tia Pappas followed with 12. Pappas also was responsible for 10 steals from the Miners as well as dishing out six assists. Kylee Lessar was top on the boards, pulling in nine while scoring eight. She was named garbage girl of the team.
Carlson explained how her team was able to look so sharp.
"It wasn't a fun week at practice, it was intense," she said. "We introduced new things, worked on getting better at other things and refined our game as a whole. The girls took it seriously and I am pleased to see how well they bought into the new things we threw at them. We had a bit of a let down in the third when we were up, but all in all they all played well and contributed to this big win."
The Lady Dinos sit in third place in Region 10 and moving up may be difficult, if not impossible. Union is at 5-1, while Carbon is at 3-3. Carbon would have to beat ALA and then Union who would also have to lose to Park City.
Then the two would be tied at 5-3. Unless Park City plays at a whole different level than last night, the likelihood of them beating Union is miniscule.
The Lady Dinos travel to play ALA on Tuesday at 7 p.m.and the wrap things up in Roosevelt at 5:15 p.m. on Friday night against Union.

The Pre-Vent Series® of therapeutic pressure redistribution mattresses is the culmination of extensive research and testing. Blue Chip Medical's exclusive Sphere® and Hexon® designs react to body weight displacement across the entire surface. This prevents and relieves pressure sores by keeping the body in a constant state of suspension; Prevention by Suspension. Our unique shapes together with our Med-Flex® VPF foams, react instinctively to a compression set, allowing for a fully automatic, totally zoned surface. Other manufacturers' surfaces are zone specific and must always take into consideration a patients weight, size (build) and shape.
Blue Chip's patent pending Sphere® and Hexon® designs act independently as its own self-adjusting, pressure-redistribution zone. Every component undergoes a strict protocol to ensure clinical efficacy, infection control standards and durability for the life of the mattress. VPF (Variable Pressure Foaming) Manufacturing Process VPF is the most modern manufacturing process used today. This process, known as Chamber Technology, uses an enclosed controlled environment rather than a traditional open-line pour. Chamber Technology allows for the precision control of atmospheric pressures during manufacturing adding to the purity of the foam's cell structure. This method greatly reduces the sag factor (deflection), thereby enhancing the product's life and extending the uncompromised pressure-redistributing qualities of our foam mattress systems.
VPF technology enables Blue Chip to warranty the longevity of our Pre-Vent Series mattresses to outlast all other conventional mattress systems. Med-Flex VPF Foam Formulation Med-Flex® VPF foam is our exclusive formulation made from a much higher polymer fill content in respect to conventionally poured foams. In conjunction with Chamber Technology Med-Flex® VPF foam produces a longer lasting, softer cell structure, yielding greater support without compromising true foam comfort. Med-Flex® VPF foam allows us to produce variable densities and IFDs' (indentation force deflection), which are stronger in strength (tensile), and provide overall durability factors never realized in a medical mattress application. The Med-Flex® VPF foam height retention loss is virtually eliminated, offering effective clinical outcomes over its entire life. All Med-Flex® VPF foam's are anti-microbial and fire retardant.
The Sphere® The patent-pending anatomically inspired sphere shape offers the most unique design the therapeutic support surface industry has ever seen. The Sphere® design is clinically effective in redistributing the interface pressures which create pressure sores. Compressing the sphere down expands the surface area into a flat pressure-redistribution surface to evenly distribute and support the patient's weight across the entire mattress surface. Each sphere® acts independently as its own self-adjusting pressure-redistribution zone. As the body moves across the mattress, the spheres' touch points help stimulate blood flow. The sphere® design permits air circulation, reducing heat build-up which provides a much cooler, more comfortable support surface. Barrier Lok Infection Control System Blue Chip's exclusive Barrier Lok® feature virtually seals and protects the inner foam core of the mattress by preventing the leaching of fluids from penetrating the perimeter seam of the mattress. The Barrier Lok® ensures that infection control standards are maintained, thereby providing investment protection on all Pre-Vent Series® mattress systems. Dual-Protection Slip Layer Our silk film slip layer eliminates friction between the inner foam.

It's different from other games in my opinion...
Unique systems like: berserk mode, trade/thief/hunter jobs..
Party Matchmaking..
And other futures you get to see troughout the game..
It's well worth playing, I know i'm sticking to it.. wizard/cleric ftw :P
I don't got any problem with the gfx realy.. it's good for its age..

I've been playing for 74 lvls now and I love it. Game interface is basic and complex all at once. Everything is pretty much easily understood for the most part and when you really get going, you learn all the other complex stuff needed to make a really good character. Either way, it's a really fun game in my opinion.
Is the login delay thing fixed already? Last time i downloaded and updated the game for like 2 hrs and I couldnt even log in. I played the game when it was released and came back to see that i forgot what server i played in.. so it sucked for me.. really. the grind's also really tough and repetitive so if u cant take it u wont enjoy it.. just my opinion
"WoooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo OOOOOOOW! I get it! Yeah!"
"You do?"
Right NOW would be a good time to play. Theres no traffic due to a recent update on the game.
lol Servers always crowded = Takes 3-5 hours to get in. That's 1 in the same reason not 2.
The logging IS crap however, the game itself is a different story! ^^ In that regard, I do agree the game system can use a lot of work. (E.g. server traffic, botters, dead servers)
GamePLAY, on the other hand for people that are interested, is pretty outstanding. Character customization is limited but due to an awesome build system on top of an awesome gear system, no two characters will play the same. Also, this is NOT a spam 1,2,3,4 skills game. A players experience and ability to access certain situations with certain skills will set a professional aside from the rookies. That being said, this game does have a learning curve which can seem overwhelming in the beginning but after you get the hang of it, this game is pretty f*ckin beasty! xD Pardon my french.
yes i do play sro lvl 31 server Iris
and no im not on right now

Awards for Moore and Pennock
Two long-time friends of NCSE were recently honored.
Not in Our Classrooms reviewed in Teacher
On the heels of approving reviews in Library Journal and Booklist, Not in Our Classrooms: Why Intelligent Design is Wrong for Our Schools just received a favorable review in the November/December 2006 issue of Teacher magazine. In his assessment, Howard Good writes, "Although many may not realize it, we are in the midst of a struggle to preserve sound science education.
New staff at NCSE
Many hands make light work, as the saying goes, and so NCSE is pleased to announce the addition of three new members of its staff.
What inspired Eugenie C. Scott?
NCSE's executive director Eugenie C. Scott was among a group of "key thinkers in science, technology, and medicine" surveyed by the on-line periodical Spiked in collaboration with the research-based pharmaceutical company Pfizer.
Scott honored with Anthropology in the Media Award
NCSE's executive director Eugenie C. Scott received the 2006 Anthropology in the Media Award, in recognition of "the successful communication of anthropology to the general public through the media," from the American Anthropological Association. According to the announcement in the October 2006 issue of the AAA's newletter Anthropology News:

Not in Our Classrooms in Church and State
NCSE's executive director Eugenie C. Scott discussed the new book Not in Our Classrooms: Why Intelligent Design is Wrong for Our Schools, which she coedited with NCSE's deputy director Glenn Branch, with Church and State, the monthly journal of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
Matzke profiled in Seed
NCSE's Nick Matzke is among nine people profiled under the rubric "Revolutionary Minds" in the November 2006 issue of Seed magazine, now available at newsstands. "At a time when intelligent-design rhetoric has persuaded some public schools to include the philosophy in their science curricula," the article begins, "Nick Matzke is championing the cause of science.

DEER ISLE, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- Unions are a big part of industry here in the state. Now one major union is working to gain followers in Maine's lobster industry.
Since December about 250 lobstermen in Maine have joined the Maine Lobstering Union, which is a new branch of the International Associations of Machinists and Aerospace workers. That group represents about 5,000 workers in Maine including many who work in paper mills as well as ship yards like Bath Iron Works.
Directors of the new lobstering union say it should bring many benefits to its members, including access to healthcare and pension plans for lobstermen. Still not all lobster harvesters are looking to claw into the group.
"We are owners not workers," said Genevieve McDonald, who has been catching lobsters for nearly a decade, "so its unclear to me who the union would be negotiating with...the union has no experience representing fisherman and they have no past experience with the issues facing the industry."
"Here's the misconception part..they're not hiring someone to come in and help them," reamarked Joel Pitcher, who is organzing the union for I.A.M., "The union is going to be made up of lobsterman...by lobsterman and their efforts are what's going to make a change."
The new union is only open to those who catch lobster. To be in it, members have to pay dues. Union directors say much of that money would go back into supporting national programs to help the lobstering industry.

Ke$ha gets weird in her new music video!
The blonde singer is at it again with her typical crazy antics in her latest video for "C'Mon," where the 25-year-old is seen getting too close for comfort with some furry creatures, partying and of course dancing (a lot).
We wouldn't expect anything less from the eccentric pop star, who once admitted to sleeping with a ghost!
She does look pretty good though, sporting minimal makeup and long blonde tresses (and at one point, a wig).
Anyone else noticing this random trend of people dressed in furry suits making music video cameos ... remember Taylor Swift's video for "We Are Never Getting Back Together"?
Would you party with Ke$ha? Check out her new music video above and sound off below!
