The Watertown Rams will have to wait for a while to give their fans another home win.
The Amsterdam Mohawks rallied twice and used a four-run seventh inning to defeat Watertown, 9-4, in a Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League game on Sunday at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds. Rams manager Paul Alteri wanted to give the fans a win before Watertown goes on a six-game road trip that starts Tuesday at Boonville.
We wouldve like to have played better for the fans today and especially for ourselves, Alteri said. Its our last home game before we hit the road and it didnt turn out the way we liked to.
Watertown, which will be on the road because the 196th Jefferson County Fair is scheduled all week for the fairgrounds, is 14-13 and in first place in the PGCBL West Division by one game over Elmira. Alteri knows the next six games are critical in the divisional race.
Alteri said, If we can come out with a 4-2 or better record, Ill be happy with that.
Reliever Christian Bartholomew earned the win by pitching two shutout innings, and Devin Wenzel clubbed a solo home run over the left field wall in the sixth to tie the game at four before Amsterdam (14-13) belted out four hits in the seventh for its four additional runs. Mohawks manager Keith Griffin said the big inning was key.
We got three or four hits in a row which was a much-needed pick-me-up, Griffin said. Weve not been doing that the whole year.
Rams starting pitcher and former Immaculate Heart Central product Anthony Magovney (University of Buffalo) fared better this time against the Mohawks, going six innings and giving up four runs on four hits. The last time Magovney pitched against Amsterdam on June 25, he lasted only 2 1/3 innings and surrendered nine runs on nine hits to take the loss in a 17-0 defeat.
I just felt my mechanics were much better, Magovney said.
Watertown raced out to a 3-0 lead after three innings before Amsterdam tied it with a three-run fourth inning. The Rams went back on top in the fourth thanks to a Bobby Indeglia RBI-single that plated Collin Theroux. The Mohawks then tied the game on Wenzels first homer of the season.
I kind of hit it high in the air and I saw the kid (Indeglia) going back on it, Wenzel said. I thought he had a chance to rob me, but it carried just enough.
Amsterdam also received a pair of doubles and an RBI by John Nogowski, who came off the bench in the seventh. Nogowski said he his mind-set stays the same no matter the situation.
I try not to change it too much. he said. I just want to come in and make a difference.
Henry McAree took the loss by giving up the four runs, all unearned, in the seventh.
The tandem of Bartholomew and Chris Kalica held the Rams scoreless after starter Matt Snyder was lifted at the start of the sixth. Coach Griffin thought his relievers helped settle the team down.
I thought Bartholomew was real calming when he got out there, and Kalicas been good, Griffin said.
nNOTES: Watertown trails the season series against defending PGCBL champion Amsterdam, 2-0. The two teams will meet for the final time in the regular season on July 19 in Amsterdam. ... Watertown has not beat the Mohawks since a 2-0 win on July 28, 2011. ... The Rams will next be home for a 7 p.m. game July 16 against the Adirondack Trail Blazers.

Keller Doesn't Travel to Buffalo Along With Lankster & Schilens
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
Chaz Schilens, Ellis Lankster and Dustin Keller all didn't take the team flight to Buffalo because of their own injuries that will keep them out of the last game of the season.
Lankster will be back next year as the team's third or fourth cornerback, but Schilens was on a one-year deal and Keller of course is facing free agency now coming out of his rookie deal. Going into the season, a lot rode on Keller's season and 2012 had to be a major disappointment for Keller as he suffered through injuries all year. Keller was only able to play in eight games and some of those he even did so while still trying to recover. Keller ended the season with just 28 receptions, for 317 yards and two scores. 2012 was a low point for Keller in every statistical aspect save one: Keller ran a 77% catch rate this season, outstripping anything he'd done in his other four years.
From here, we'll see what happens. Keller was a favorite target of Sanchez, and as we all know, Sanchez might well be back in 2013. Unless Keller is willing to take very little in the first year of his deal (a la Santonio in 2010) there's really no way the Jets can afford to bring him back — even as a franchisee. Keller has expressed his desire to not be franchised by the Jets and we'll just have to wait and see how everything proceeds from here.

Makes all types of music enjoyable. I don't know of a better value for headphones.
Pros: Music sounds great even from poor sources without an amp. It sounds even better with better source and amp.
Cons: Heavy. Makes ears hot in the summer.
Music sounds great with these. They are a little heavy, but I knew that when I bought them. What I did not know was that they make great ear warmers. This is good for winter, but may not be so good in summer.
I'm quite happy with them. They don't seem to really need a headphone amp to sound good which is another plus. They seem to have low listening fatigue.
The sound may be on the warm side, but I like that. I recently tried them with my Bifrost and Parasound pre-amp as 'phone amp and they sound even better than with my Sony NWZE475BLK

Poor 401(k) outcomes can be the result of a lousy plan, employee decision errors or a combination. The good news is that most 401(k) problems can be fixed or worked around.
Let's talk about plan issues first. Then we'll get to the possibility of "operator error."
What makes for a lousy plan? And, how can you make the best of it?
High fees
The most prevalent 401(k) fees are the expenses associated with the plan's investments. They are commonly expressed as the investments' annual "expense ratio." Often, allowances are built into the expense ratio to pay a plan's other service providers as well. These would be the people providing education and/or advice, keeping the plan's records, sending statements, maintaining the website and call center, legal and compliance, custodial and trustee services, etc. It's unrealistic to think they should work for free, but any fees paid out of plan assets must be "reasonable." Recent Department of Labor fee disclosure mandates have made it easier to identify excessive fees and we have seen a great deal of interest in the marketplace, on the part of employers, in benchmarking their plan's fees to ensure that they are reasonable. This is a positive trend for retirement savers.
How would you know if your plan has high fees? There is no single magic number to measure against. A plan with thousands of participants and lots of assets would likely have an average expense ratio well under 1% per year. A smaller plan or one with small average balances can legitimately be much more expensive, as a percentage of the assets in the plan. This is generalizing, but if your plan's expenses are much more than 1.50% annually, you should ask why. You can find expense information on the fee disclosure form provided by your employer last August, and possibly updated since.
Note: Sometimes high expenses are unavoidable because poor demographics collide with the economic realities. It could cost roughly $10,000 annually to maintain a good quality 401(k) plan for 100 employees. A newer plan with only $1 million of accumulated savings could take 1.00% of assets annually just for plan administration. A mature 100 person plan with $10 million of assets would need to consume only 0.10% annually on administrative costs. After advisory and money management costs, the total investment expense ratio might be 0.85% for the mature plan and 1.75% annually for the plan with the smaller asset base. All things equal, both could be reasonable.
Strategies: Check your fee disclosure statement to learn the details of your plan's fee structure. You can politely ask your employer what they have done to determine if your plan fees are reasonable. Within the menu of available offerings, see if there are better choices you can make. Remember, cheaper isn't always better. If you have a moderate risk tolerance, don't shift all your money into the plan's stock index fund, just because it's cheaper. (More on this below.)
If your plan's expenses are really high, you could consider limiting your 401(k) contributions to the amount necessary to capture any available employer match, and then saving additional amounts in an IRA, annuity or other account. Beware though; the most favorable tax treatment is likely to be in your 401(k), it has the highest level of creditor protection, the discipline of automatic payroll deduction investing is compelling, and "outside" investments may have their own sets of fees, costs and restrictions. For most people, making the most of their 401(k) is the best path.
Ask the plan's advisor for help picking the right investment mix, and keep reminding yourself that you are going to have a lot more money at retirement if you keep at it, the fee level notwithstanding. Over time, as the plan's assets grow, the expense ratio should drop. If it doesn't, you have every right to politely complain.
Mediocre investment choices
Be realistic in judging the quality of your plan's investment menu. Don't expect great results from your stock funds if the market isn't doing well. "When the tide goes out, all boats fall with it." You should judge your plan's funds based upon risk-adjusted, relative performance against the funds' peers. If you're into this, you can do a lot of research on sites such as Morningstar. They will list peer rankings, and risk-adjusted measures of return such as alpha and Sharpe Ratio. Remember, even the best managers go through prolonged periods of underperformance, so don't pull the trigger too quickly if the manager has a strong long-term record. That makes it important to look at manager tenure. A fund may have great five and 10-year numbers, but if the current manager is new, make sure you discount the performance achieved under the prior manager.
The trend in 401(k) design has been toward "open investment architecture." This allows a plan to offer investments from a wide variety of fund managers — more of an all-star approach. It acknowledges the reality that no single fund company has the best experts in each of the investment types typically offered on a 401(k) menu. However, there are still a number of plans out there that are captive to a single fund family, and these tend to have the worst menus of any of the plans we are asked to come in and evaluate. If most or all of the funds on your 401(k) plan menu are from the same provider, it may be appropriate to ask your employer to take a look at some new options, either on the current provider's platform or by moving to another provider.
Your employer may have made the best decision at the time the current provider was selected, but two things may have changed since. First, the retirement plans marketplace has evolved a great deal in recent years, and it has become more price-competitive. Second, your plan may have grown to the point where it has a better negotiating position. Again, the trend is in favor of retirement savers.
Strategies: If your investment options aren't great, don't despair. As indicated above, you can ask your employer to upgrade the menu. In the meantime, some of your options are probably less mediocre than others. Adjust your investment mix, within your risk tolerance, so that it avoids the worst of the options. If you have investments outside of the plan, coordinate your overall mix to take advantage of whatever flexibility exists. For example, if you want a 60/40 overall mix, take advantage of your plan's stable value fund for the 40% fixed income allocation and use stock funds outside the plan for as much of the 60% allocation as you can.
Be forward thinking. Bonds have been in a 30-year bull market. That is unlikely to continue indefinitely. At some point, interest rates will start going up and bond prices will start going down. If your plan's bond offerings are lousy, don't worry excessively about that, because you should be rethinking their use anyway. Likewise, if your international holdings have done poorly, patience may see them turn around. Likewise with lower-risk equity funds, which have been underperforming their more aggressive peers. Think ahead and think long-term. You will have a lot more money at retirement if you keep plugging along as opposed to sidelining yourself because your options aren't ideal.
No help
Most people are not gifted with 401(k) expertise. Unless they are helped, they won't necessarily understand how imperative it is to save; they don't know the right amount to save; they don't know what investments to pick and they don't know how to avoid emotionally-driven decision errors.

Last week, the United States Bureau of Land Management announced the federal agency's plans to implement oil shale and tar sands legislation sponsored by Sen. Orrin Hatch. The legislation was included in the comprehensive energy law enacted last summer.
"The BLM is moving quickly to start tapping into Utah's vast oil resources," pointed out the senator. "The recent spike in gas prices is a clear sign that we need to increase domestic oil production."
"We have more oil in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming than in all the Middle East and the tar sands operations in Canada have demonstrated that it's very economical to develop these resources. We need to access the vast resources we have in the West and we need to do it soon," continued Hatch.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, recoverable oil shale in the western United States exceeds one trillion barrels. In addition, the resource represents the richest and most geographically concentrated oil shale and tar sands resource in the world.
To begin accessing the resources, the BLM intends to implement a programmatic environmental impact statement for oil shale and tar sands leasing activities on federal lands in the West.
The EIS will amend existing resource management plans in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming to provide increased oil shale and tar sands leasing activities in the states.
The BLM schedule a series of public meetings beginning in Salt Lake City on Jan. 11, 2006.

The Carbon High Swim Team traveled to Uintah on Nov. 20 to take on a tough Utes team. Both teams were evenly matched in numbers, but facing a fast Uintah team the Dinos were up to the challenge as the Girls tied Uintah at 79 and the Boys winning 91 to 75. With the result, both the boys and girls teams are undefeated early in the season.
In the first event Uintah's 200 medley relay team just out touched Carbon's girls. Carbon's boys medley relay out swam Uintah's team finishing six seconds ahead of them. In the first individual event for the Carbon girls, the team took three of the top four places, Lauren Engar captured second place with a time of 2:34.79, Ali Heath in third (2:40.77), and Heidi Prettyman (2:46.02). In the Boys 200 free, Brent Keller captured first place with a time of 2:04.27. Keller's brother, Joseph Keller, took second with a time of 2:23.39 and Harrison Torgerson finished in fifth (2:44.29). The 200 I.M. was a struggle for the Dinos placing fourth, fifth and sixth.
Boys I.M. fared a little better as Joel Garff took second at (2:35.45) and Thory VanDyke took third (2:42.39). In the girls 50 free Lonnie Meineche swam to a first place finish with an impressive time of 26.94 and teammate Erica Mantz took third (31.48). The Dino boys dominated the 50 free as Dakota Powell took first place just out touching his teammate Lance Riche with Powell's time of 23.67 compared to Riche's time of 24.80.
In the 100 fly Lonnie Meineche finished in first over Uintah's top swimmer with a best time of 1:08.15. Tati Larsen took third and Ali Heath took fourth with her best time of 1:23.58. In the Boys 100 fly, Powell glided into a smooth first place finish with a time of 1:04.40, eight seconds in front of the closest competitor. In the Girls 100 free, Carbon finished on top with seven competitors, including three in the top three spots including Brittney Willson in first (1:08.61), Paula Gibson in second (1:10.60), and Susannah Ohlwiler in third (1:19.84).
In the boys 100 free Garff finished in second with a time of 57.42. The longest event of the night was the 500 free as Lauren Engar took third and Erica Mantz took fourth. In the boys 500 free, Brent Keller took first finishing 37 seconds in front of his closest competitor with a time of 5:35.34.
In the 200 free relays, the Carbon Girls finished in second place and boys took first. In the Girls 100 back, Brittney Willson captured first place. Also finishing in first for the boys was Lance Riche with his best time of the season at 1:05.36.
Carbon High Head Swim Coach Kamera Davis said the breaststroke is another event the girls team is weak in but they are slowly improving. Heidi Prettyman took fourth, Johanna Schmidt finished in fifth, Ashley Noyes sixth, Samm Jeppson in seventh, Angie Beaudonnet in eighth and Nicola Berchtenbreiter in 10th. In the boys 100 breaststroke, Carbon's VanDyke took first with a time of 1:14.12.
Going into the last event the Carbon girls were down in points. Coach Davis went to the relay teams and told them if there was any chance of the team finishing in a tie they would need to finish in first and second place. The first leg of the relay started with Carbon's Brittney Willson in first and Ali Heath in second place. In the next leg Carbon's Paula Gibson was in first and Erica Mantz in second. In the third leg, Carbon's Lauren Engar touches in first with Ashley Noyes just out touching Uintah's team. At this point it was so close between second and third place Carbon's A team touched in first with a time of 4:26.57. It was all up to rookie Susannah Ohlwiler to finish strong. Ohlwiler finished in second place with the difference between second and third being just five tenths of a second.
In the boys 400 free relay the Dino boys consisting of Riche, Garff, Keller, and Powell took first place.
Carbon's next meet took place against Emery High on Tuesday. Results from that meet will be printed as soon as they are made available.

Real Salt Lake
The Fire head west to Utah on Saturday night after dropping two games against the Union both at home and in Philadelphia. The team is without a goal in three games and face a daunting task against \ in-form Real Salt Lake (7:30pm CT on My50). RSL swept Chivas aside last weekend, cruising to a 4-1 victory. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
The return of Soumare – more changes for the Fire back line?
On Thursday, the Fire acquired former player Bakary Soumare from the Union. Soumare will provide some much-needed depth at the center back position with the long-term future of Arne Friedrich in doubt.
Soumare's return comes at a good time for the Fire who are without a number of players due to injury and suspension. With Wells Thompson suspended, Frank Klopas could choose to move Jalil Anibaba to the right side of defense and slot Soumare in alongside Austin Berry.
Athletico Coaching Corner: Real Salt Lake
The injury to Friedrich has meant a longer than expected spell in the middle for Anibaba and in his absence, the right-back position has changed hands on numerous occasions this season.
READ: Soumare ready to start vs. RSL
Though right-back isn't Anibaba's natural position, the defender has played there for a lot of his Fire career and is comfortable in it.
Against a team like Salt Lake who are known for their aerial prowess, another big body on the back line like Soumare's in addition to Anibaba and Berry would be very useful.
Getting some consistency in defense is very important from here on out and a starting four of Anibaba, Soumare, Berry and Segares would appear to have the right blend of youth and experience.
The Fire's attack – pace vs possession
In both games vs. the Union, coach Frank Klopas started Patrick Nyarko up front with Chris Rolfe in an attempt to bring some speed to the forward line.
Against Salt Lake however, a more logical tactic would be to use a bigger body who can hold the ball up and can be used as an outlet to relieve pressure.
Sherjill MacDonald is fit again after an illness and could start up front as the target forward. This would allow the Fire to move Patrick Nyarko back to the wing, possibly in place of Joel Lindpere who has logged a lot of minutes this season.
READ: Nyarko keeps ticking despite reckless tackles
Though Nyarko's creativity and pace in the attack worked well against Philly, his desire to track back and help the defense could prove very important, especially against a team with a wealth of attacking options who are so offensive minded at home.
The problem with starting MacDonald up front is that he can oftentimes be left devoid of support and it will be up to players like Rolfe, and Duka to get forward and support the Dutchman.
If he does get the nod, the battle between him and the RSL center backs such as Kwame Watson-Siriboe will be very interesting to watch.
RSL's midfielders – tracking runs into the box
RSL plays with a diamond midfield system with Kyle Beckerman anchoring and Javier Morales playing at the top of the diamond. Morales is the team's playmaker and oftentimes acts as a third striker, getting forward to support the front two.
Duka, Larentowicz preview Real Salt Lake
Though Morales is an obvious target, players like Ned Grabavoy and Luis Gil who play on the flanks cut inside on a regular basis, making runs into the middle when joining in the attack.
With this many players getting forward, the Fire must be aware not only of who is marking who but must prevent RSL from getting second ball opportunities.
Similar to the Fire for most of the season, RSL likes to play with at least one mobile striker while the other tends to play higher up the field.
The mobile striker, oftentimes Joao Plata, drifts into wide positions, usually on the right hand side. His moves out wide open up more space for players like Morales, Grabavoy and Gil to move into.
Plata has four assists this season and is a good crosser of the ball. His crossing ability was displayed earlier this month against Vancouver where he put in a perfect ball Gil to head home the winner.
Staying tight with runners from midfield and not allowing second ball opportunities will improve the Fire's chances of getting a result on the road dramatically.
Prediction: Rio Tinto Stadium is one of the hardest places in MLS to get a result in. The Fire has had no luck this season and perhaps Saturday night will be the night. 1-1 with Chris Rolfe scoring the Fire's goal from the penalty spot.

UPDATE - Segares clarified his comments following training on Wednesday.
"Its always an honor to be called up to the national team and represent your country. Regretfully at this moment the injuries the team is suffering along with the Open Cup game and league game against Real Salt Lake prevents the team from allowing me to go with the national team. If it was my decision, I would love to go with the national team but regretfully its just not the right moment. My door is always open for a national team call-up."
Last week, Chicago Fire defender Gonzalo Segares was summoned by Costa Rica for next week's international friendly against Canada in Edmonton.
With Segares having mostly gone unselected by the Ticos the last few years, the call-up was a welcome one. With the Fire experiencing a high amount of injuries, Orrin Schwarz reports the Fire left back turned it down in order to stick with the Men in Red through Saturday's game at Real Salt Lake and Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup match at Charlotte Eagles.
"We have important games coming up, and it's not a FIFA date, so I cannot leave my team right now," Segares said. "We need to stay together. It's not the right time for me to go."
Should the Chicago Fire come away victorious over the Charlotte Eagles in the third round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup next Wednesday, the team is guaranteed to host its fourth round match against either the Columbus Crew or Dayton Dutch Lions on Wednesday, June 12 at Toyota Park.
I'll have a full play-by-play of the draw later today on Chicago-Fire but until then, see below all fourth round U.S. Open Cup matchups:

Maicon Santos' two-goal substitute performance had me thinking this week, how often have Fire players come off the bench to tally a brace?
The Answer: It's a very rare thing… Santos' effort on Sunday was just the fifth time (or .008%) in the club's 573 all-time competitive matches that a player has scored two goals off the bench. It was just the third time in MLS league play and first since 2006.
The others...
Orr Barouch - Chicago Fire 4, New York Red Bulls 0 - U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinal (7/12/2011)
In a memorable match that was moved up to 5pm because of a massive power outage at Toyota Park, Barouch came on at halftime for Cristian Nazarit with the Fire already leading 2-0. It took the Israeli youth international just five minutes to make it 3-0 before closing the scoring off a feed from Diego Chaves in the 69th minute (WATCH).
PERUSE: TrueCar Player Registry
Barouch led the side with three goals in Open Cup play on the way to the tournament final that year.
Chad Barrett – Chicago Fire 2, Real Salt Lake 1 – MLS Regular Season (6/28/2006)
Throughout much of his first two seasons with the Men in Red, Chad Barrett was an oft-used second half attacking sub. In this match, he repaid Dave Sarachan's faith in him, entering for captain Chris Armas in the 68th minute before heading home the equalizer off a cross from Justin Mapp in the 80th minute (WATCH).
Five minutes later, Mapp would slot Barrett through the RSL backline before the second-year striker put slid his effort past Scott Garlick and in off the post for the winner (WATCH).
The effort was the first of two braces for Barrett during his time with the Men in Red, the other coming in a 5-1 victory at Red Bull on May 25, 2008.
Dipsy Selolwane – Chicago Fire 4, San Juan Jabloteh 0 – CONCACAF Champions Cup (3/17/2004)
With the team coming off a somewhat shocking 5-2 first leg defeat away to the Trinidadian side, the Men in Red returned to Soldier Field needing four goals in the second leg in order to advance.
Though Damani Ralph took the aggregate score to 5-3 just before halftime, Selolwane entered for current Fire captain Logan Pause to provide more offense after the break. The Botswanan international's long-range effort in the 51st minute brought the Fire to within a goal before his empty net finish 11 minutes later brought the score level.
Selolwane proved to be Man of the Match when he set up Chris Armas' 90th minute series winner to push the Fire past Jabloteh 6-5 on aggregate and into the Champions Cup semifinals.
Interestingly, that performance was the only brace of Selolwane's Fire career, though he did come up with back-to-back game-winners in the team's run to the U.S. Open Cup final that season.
Hristo Stoitchkov – Chicago Fire 7, Kansas City Wizards 0 – MLS Regular Season (7/4/2001)
Of course the Mad Bulgarian was the first to do this with the Fire and of course it came in the Fourth of July Massacre.
With the team already leading 4-0, there was little need for Stoitchkov to come on in the 78th. One minute after entering the match, Piotr Nowak scored his second to take the game to 5-0 and then Stoitchkov proceeded to drive the dagger in tallying in the 83rd and 88th minutes to exact revenge for the Fire's MLS Cup loss to Kansas City the year before (WATCH).
Like Barrett, Stoitchkov tallied two braces while with the Men in Red. The first came in his debut appearance, a 4-2 Opening Day loss to the Dallas Burn on March 18, 2000.

With today's league-wide announcement of MLS First Kick and Home Opening matches, we wanted to take a photgraphic look back at some of the team's previous matches to open their season...
Major League Soccer today released the final list of players eligible for Stage Two of the MLS Re-Entry process to take place via teleconference Friday afternoon at 2pm CT.
Midfielder Corben Bone, defender Dan Gargan and goalkeeper Jay Nolly remained on the list from the Fire after passing through the Stage One draft last Friday. Of course the Fire were the only team to select a player in that draft, picking Brazilian forward Maicon Santos.
The Stage Two draft typically has more activity as teams who select players on Friday can negotiate their salaries. In Stage Two, teams cannot select their own players until after all 18 other teams have passed on them.
Players that pass through Friday's draft without getting picked are free to sign with any MLS team on a first-come, first-served basis. If you're at all still confused, I explained the entire Re-Entry Process in this blog last Friday.
The list of the 49 eligible players for Re-Entry is below. Salary numbers are from the most recent report by the MLS Players Union.
This is probably a weaker Re-Entry Field than we've seen in the two previous versions. Given the three players the Fire have exposed to the draft and considering the moves made so far this offseason (re-signing Arne Friedrich and Gonzalo Segares; acquiring Maicon Santos), who, if anyone would you want to see the Fire take in Stage Two tomorrow?
Tell us in the comments below...

Following Wednesday's disappointing knockout round exit to Houston, taking in the rest of the MLS Cup playoffs this weekend didn't sit all the way at the top of my "want to do" list.
Being the seasoned Team Writer that I am, I decided it was a good idea to take in the four games from Friday to Sunday…
Real Salt Lake 0, Seattle Sounders 0 – Friday
With the Fire out, I have to say there are few teams in the league I would feel alright about winning MLS Cup and you know the Sounders do not fall in that category for me.
On the flip side, RSL has Fire legend C.J. Brown, defender Kwame Watson-Siriboe and even former Fire beat writer Sam Stejskal slingin' PR in Sandy, so if someone has to win MLS Cup, I wouldn't mind for it to be our friends from the Sawatch Front?
Playing on the Seattle Seahawks outlined pitch at CenturyLink Field Friday night, it was Nick Rimando who stood tall in net, making five big saves for RSL and even suffering a broken nose and laceration in the 67th minute after a collision with the Sounders Christian Tiffert.
The display left RSL head coach Jason Kreis to say, "I think it would have to go down as one of the best individual performances by any player that's ever worn an RSL jersey."
In my opinion, Rimando's historic performance will likely go down as one of the best ever in MLS postseason play.
In the end, RSL escaped Seattle with a 0-0 draw and head back to the friendly confines of Rio Tinto Stadium for Thursday night's second leg.
D.C. United 1, New York Red Bulls 1 – Saturday
Knowing that one point at any time during the regular season would have had the Fire playing in this series, I had the most trouble watching this game of any during the weekend. With that said, it was nice to see D.C. switch home legs with New York after Hurricane Sandy left Red Bull Arena unplayable for the weekend.
WATCH: D.C. United 1, New York Red Bulls 1
Come the 33rd minute of the tie, United looked to be in good shape when Red Bull defender Connor Lade was whistled for a handball in the box, forcing referee Jair Marrufo to point to the spot. Chris Pontius' take however wasn't the greatest, allowing Red Bull 'keeper Luis Robles to make one of his five saves on the night.
Despite the save, United would get on the board just after the hour mark when Chris Korb's dangerous cross to the six left Red Bull's Roy Miller with an attempted clear, instead roofing into the top of his own net.
In what seemed to be a comedy of errors, Red Bull would pull level with a United own goal just four minutes later. Off a corner kick from the right, defender Heath Pearce headed the ball back across goal, catching United goalkeeper Bill Hamid wrong footed before catching the ball inside his own goal and clearly across the line.
Perhaps most comical was Hamid's insistence that he'd been fouled on the play. A replay shows Red Bull defender Markus Holgersson ducking even as United's Dejan Jakovic is pushing him towards Hamid.
Own goals aside, the story of the match would be DC right back Andy Najar's sending off in the 71st minute. Shown a yellow card for his foul on Joel Lindpere in the 71st minute, the Honduran international threw the ball at Maruffo, forcing the referee to show the Honduran international a second yellow and then a red card, forcing United to play a man down the final 19+ minutes of the match.
United will definitely be without Najar as they head back to Red Bull Arena for leg two and if they advance, it's a fair bet they could lose him throughout a potential Eastern Conference Final series.
Houston Dynamo 2, Sporting Kansas City 0 – Sunday
In the surprise of the weekend, Houston came away with a dominant 2-0 victory over Sporting KC in leg one of their Eastern Conference semifinal series at BBVA Compass Stadium.
WATCH: Houston Dynamo 2, Sporting KC 0
Having defeated the Fire 2-1 on Wednesday night, the Dynamo were charged by the partisan crowd in Houston and went ahead in the 18th minute off of Adam Moffat's wonder-volley from outside the area.
On the other side of halftime, Will Bruin would score his third goal in two playoff matches, connecting once again with former Fire striker Calen Carr to seal the 2-0 victory in the 75th minute.
It's interesting to note that though the two sides finished even with 13 shots each, the Dynamo held just a 2-1 advantage in shots on goal, finishing both of their attempts for the win.
Houston can now go to LiveStrong Sporting Park on Wednesday, lose 1-0 and still advance to the Eastern Conference finals, knocking out the team with the second best record in the process…
San Jose Earthquakes 1, LA Galaxy 0 – Sunday
While the Dynamo didn't look like they'd played at midweek, the LA Galaxy certainly did, looking tired a times throughout Sunday night's home encounter.
Despite that, LA threatened just as much as San Jose but as so many other teams have this season, would fall victim to a late, late Earthquakes goal.
This time the marker would come from Honduran midfielder Victor Bernardez, who hit a low free kick underneath the jumping Omar Gonzalez and past Josh Saunders in the 94th minute, allowing the Quakes to stick with their "Goonies never say die" tagline.
The star-studded Galaxy will have a tall but not impossible order to overcome the 1-0 deficit in Wednesday's second leg at San Jose…
Second Leg Picks
New York Red Bulls 2, D.C. United 1 (NY Advances)
Sporting KC 2, Houston Dynamo 1( HOU Advances)
Real Salt Lake 2, Seattle 1 (RSL Advances)
San Jose Earthquakes 1, LA Galaxy 1 (SJ Advances)
It didn't seem a likely result but the Fire and a few other teams in the East got playoff help as the low-lying New England Revolution knocked off the high-flying Columbus Crew 2-0 Wednesday night at Gillette Stadium.
Riding a four-match winning streak, popular wisdom had the Crew continuing their run, but in this match, they looked nothing like the Columbus team we've come to know over the past month. The visitors rarely threatened the New England goal and the home side which has seemed down and out for a while, rattled off a rather dominant performance.
The Revs took a 1-0 lead through Dimitry Imbongo's "clean up" effort in the 53rd minute and looked to have a second goal seven minutes later, but Stephen McCarthy's header was negated by an offside call. With the Crew only down 1-0, the most curious case moment of the night came when Columbus defender Chad Marshall (pictured above) headed a ball over 'keeper Andy Greunebaum and into his own net to give the Revs a 2-0 lead. The goal was puzzling as Marshall seemed to give up on the ball when it looked as though he could have saved off the line.
Unfortunately for Robert Warzycha's side, their best efforts didn't come until the 87th minute when a two-shot sequence was thwarted by by Revs 'keeper Matt Reis, to complete the New England victory.
The result means the Crew have missed out on what would have been regarded an easy three points and an opportunity to move all the way to third in the Eastern Conference standings. Long story short, everything in the East playoff race stayed the same Wednesday night but Thursday night, the Houston Dynamo will make their bid for a return to third in the East as they host Real Salt Lake at BBVA Compass Stadium.
HIGHLIGHTS: Revolution 2, Crew 0

Being isolated in Anchorage AK, I depend on the CBTL powders through online purchases. I remain disappointed that Hazelnut is not available during the year, as are the other flavors. And my frustration only grows at the holidays when you only offer it in small tins and I have to buy it in a package, when I don't use the chocolate and occasionally the vanilla. This is not quality customer service in my opinion. What is the purpose of offering online sales of only 3 of the 4 flavors? It would seem to me that you would see a significant jump in sales if you did offer Hazelnut. White Chocolate is good and a nice change, but variety is spice of life.

I am not really a coffee drinker but I do love hot chocolate. I have tried a lot of different hot chocolates, this one by far is the best I have ever had. So much so that when I moved from California to Texas I order it online to be shipped in large quantity. I have even turned other people on to this hot chocolate. "It is addicting!" Even my nephews love it!

Why is my skillrating 0 in duel? I used to be around 20 and suddenly, after losing one game I got down to 0. The highest I have been since that is 4 but when I lose one game I lose all SR with it.
It's not that big issue if it wasn't for the reason that I like to look at mine and my opponents SR to find the right difficulty for me but now it's getting harder since I don't know my real skill.
Why is that?

Jan Brewer vetoes bill creating music therapy license
PHOENIX — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has vetoed a bill that would have
created a new state certification for music therapists.
The letter accompanying Brewer's Tuesday night veto says the legislation is
ambiguous and fails to create "basic oversight authority."
Brewer says Senate Bill 1437 would have required the Department of Health
Services to issue state certification to music therapists without providing a
way to revoke the certification or impose any other penalties.
Brewer says the bill should have included a background check requirement
because music therapists often work with vulnerable children and adults.
The measure passed the Republican-controlled Senate and House with bipartisan
The Arizona Music Therapy Association backed the measure. The association hoped
the measure would signal to the public that music therapy is a legitimate
profession and service.

POTSDAM - Walkin for Willz a 5K event in Potsdam, has raised a total of $111,463.46 for the CNY Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, which serves people with Type 1 diabetes in St. Lawrence County.
Approximately 250 people participated in this years event, raising $15,086.84 and reaching the $100,000 milestone for the five-year walk series. The first St. Lawrence County JDRF walk in 2009 brought the biggest surge raising almost $40,000.
This years walk was dedicated to 11-year-old Lauryn Dana of North Lawrence, who lost her life in a 2012 car accident, along with her sister, mother, grandmother, and a family friend. Lauryn was diagnosed with Type I diabetes at the age of 4 and battled this disease throughout her short lifetime.
She was a student at St. Lawrence Central School, who was to enter the sixth grade in the fall of 2012. Many of Lauryns family, friends, classmates and teachers walked in her memory to spread her sweet smile, said St. Lawrence Central teacher Aimee Perry.
Emily Sweet of Massena, addressed the crowd, explaining how she and Lauryn became best friends after she herself was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 8.
Michael Amell from the Potsdam Central track team was the first to cross the finish line. The Cure-iers of DeKalb Junction and Soarin for Lauryn of Brasher Falls were the top team fundraisers. Donald Wagner of Potsdam and Mandy Giordano of Hannawa Falls were the top individual fundraisers. Rose Edward of DeKalb Junction was recognized as the Volunteer of the Year. Rose heads the walk team, The Cure-iers,, who fundraise year round with baked sales, car washes, business sponsorships, and gift raffles.
Entertainment services were donated for the fifth year in a row by Cubby T. Clown and Company, TJ Karaoke of Massena, and Nicholous Rycroft of Colton. The Potsdam High School track team, led by April Barnes, volunteered their time at the registration area.
Fundraising for this event continues through Oct. 31 by searching Lauryn at http://jdrfevents.donordrive.com/

Overweight & Obesity Concerns
|Overweight and obesity are an epidemic health problem in the U.S. and are now the 2nd leading preventable cause of death.
Overweight and obesity are responsible for an increased risk of nearly 30 medical conditions, as well as reduced mobility. In addition, the social stigma associated with obesity can hamper employment opportunities and community interaction, leading to isolation and depression.
A healthy body weight is easy on joints and bones and avoids unnecessary stress on heart, lungs, liver, kidney's and other organs. You move better, sleep better, and have more energy if you maintain a healthy weight. It also allows for better quality of life and independence, especially as a person ages.
Genetics may play a part in some people's weight challenges, but healthy lifestyle choices that include a healthy diet (high in fruits and vegetables and low in fat and processed food) and at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day will improve quality of life for anyone.
Eat Smart / Move More Program
A Health Department program started in 2002 to improve health by promoting physical activity and healthier food choices for all Missoula County residents.

BMI data
The body mass index (BMI), is a statistical measurement of the relationship of a person's weight and height. Though it does not actually measure the percentage of body fat, it is used to estimate a healthy body weight based on a person's height. Due to its ease of measurement and calculation, it is the most widely used diagnostic tool to identify weight problems within a population, usually whether individuals are underweight, overweight, or obese.

Type 2 Diabetes
One of the challenges of the obesity epidemic is the corresponding dramatic increase in Type 2 diabetes with all its complications and costs. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes and is often associated with overweight or obesity. Millions of Americans have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, and many more are unaware they are at high risk.
Type 2 diabetes has usually been associated with obese adults beginning at age 40. However, since 1980 the incidence of Type 2 diabetes has been increasing in youth, ages 10-19. Obesity in childhood, lack of physical activity, and exposure to diabetes in utero seem to be contributing factors. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
In Type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Insulin is necessary for the body to be able to use glucose for energy. When you eat food, the body breaks down all of the sugars and starches into glucose, which is the basic fuel for the cells in the body. Insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells. When glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells, it can lead to diabetes complications that include damage to eyes, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, nerves, teeth and gums. These complications can lead to blindness, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke and limb amputations.
Nearly 8% of the United States population currently has diabetes.

PRICE - Anna "Faye" Vuksinick, 84, passed away Aug. 6, 2008 on the same day she was born in 1924. She passed away at the home of her daughter, Lynette.
She was born in Price to Charles A. and Kisty M. Jensen Fausett. She married Martin L. Vuksinick. Later divorced.
Mom touched many lives as a nurse, a profession she loved being a part of.
One of her proudest accomplishments was when she completed school for her LPN license.
She spent many committed years caring for others and had great compassion for her "little people" in the nursing home.
She told us many stories about the people she cared for and I think we were the only kids who weren't afraid to go to a nursing home.
During those years, she cared for her mother and sisters, Ila and Pearl.
When she retired from nursing, she returned two weeks later to work part-time. She said retirement was "boring."
Once she retired, she volunteered as a Pink Lady at Carbon Hospital until 2004, when her health began to decline.
Lynette and I feel the most important lesson she taught us was to be a family that stuck together through good and bad times and to rely on each other for love and support. We do that today in her honor.
Later in life, Mom and her three sisters moved back into the family home. She was always the one to say, "Come on. Sit down. Let's chat."
To her grandkids, she was always going to give them a "talking to" or "give them a lickin'." She would say, "Do you know what that is?"
Survived by her daughters; Lynette Wells and Vanessa (Ben) Benedict; grandchildren, Jason and Kyle Hamann; Joshua and Jessica Wells; Jessie (James), Sasha, Brandon Benedict, Jennifer and Jeremy Fairbanks; Christopher and Octobre Benedict; Heidi and Erik Petersen; eight great-grandchildren; and sister; Wayne Smith. She was preceded in death by her parents; daughter, Melanie; grandson Justin; son-in-law Kevin Wells; sisters, Jenny, Eloise, Pearl, Ila and Ruth; and brothers; George, Ray and Jess.
Funeral services were Saturday, Aug. 9, at Fausett Mortuary in Price. At Mom's request, there was no viewing so family and friends met prior to services. Interment was in the Price City Cemetery next to Justin and Kevin.
If you wish, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society in Faye's name.
Lynette and Vanessa want to thank Angie Fausett and Jenn from CNS for their kindness and compassion during Mom's last days.

Having so much fun with this one, made "Smile Boxes" for a couple of friends who needed a pick me up and it worked wonders!
I don't know if it is just the digital version but about half of the images won't cut cleanly, and I just bought my machine a couple days ago. Tried everything, but the cuts are glitched at the end. Wouldn't buy a digital cartridge again, too many problems with the craft room.
I love this cartridge. It makes making books and mini albums so much more fun and speedy. I no longer have the boring task of measuring and cutting.
I loved having this cut free for a week. I have made a bunch of the mini notebooks for friends & family. I am definitely gonna purchase the digital download when the free week is up.

Convert an object to a bitmap image
The shapes and text that you create in Plazmic® Composer are vector graphics; that is, they are composed of paths in which the anchor points and curve control points are the only data used to define the exact shape and position of the path, rather than by defining the content of each pixel as a bitmap image does.
You can convert a vector graphic object to a bitmap image by rasterizing it. Once you rasterize an object, you can no longer modify properties such as the stroke or fill values, but you can apply a number of bitmap effects such as a bevel, that cannot be applied to a vector graphic.
On export, the Plazmic Composer converts text objects that use non-BlackBerry® device system fonts into bitmap images.

The Katadyn MyBottle turns swamps into springs
April 20, 2010
The new Katadyn drinking bottle with an integrated three-stage water filter
The new MyBottle is really out of the ordinary: In addition to its trendy styling and easy handling, it is an indispensable travel companion thanks to its integrated three-stage water filter – a perfect drinking system satisfying all needs.
Gone are the times when you had to tediously haul along your drinking water provisions on your outdoor trips. The MyBottle virus filter now allows you to prepare pure drinking water in any place and at any time without pumping. The MyBottle is ideal for active people used to moving around autonomously in free Nature. And for people to whom ecologically meaningful solutions are important. Its novel design makes the MyBottle a true eye-catcher. The ergonomically shaped drinking beak with its soft mouthpiece can be easily flipped in and out and is leak-proof. With its convenient lid suspender, the MyBottle is easy to carry or to attach to your backpack.
But it is not only the outer values that make the MyBottle virus filter so attractive – it is especially the inner values that count. The heart of this perfect outdoor drinking system is its new three-stage ViruPur filter medium with integrated glass fiber pre-filter. It removes bacteria and protozoa and retains viruses and minute particles on the basis of electro-kinetic in-depth filtration. Another plus: Its additional active carbon filter improves the taste of the water filtered! No more swampy taste of stale water – here comes the freshness of spring water.
The Katadyn MyBottle with virus filter supplies about 0.2 liters of drinking water per minute and filters up to 100 liters, depending on the water quality. It weighs no more than 260 grams and holds 0.8 liter of water. The bottle is free from BPA, has a neutral taste, and can be washed in a dishwasher. Its filter system does not require any chemicals or batteries. A drinking straw is provided for using the bottle without the water filter if filled with safe drinking water that has already been treated. The MyBottle is available in Switzerland and Germany in outdoor and sports stores in two versions: as a MyBottle virus filter and as a MyBottle drinking bottle. Or you can order online at www.katadynmybottle.com.
