POTSDAM A pedestrian was killed Saturday night in a hit-and-run accident by an allegedly drunken driver who has been charged with manslaughter.
Fuli Wu, 59, who was here from China to visit relatives in the Potsdam area, was walking on May Road near Haggerty Road about 8:30 p.m. when she was struck by a car that then left the scene, according to Potsdam police.
Ms. Wu was unresponsive when emergency responders arrived. Potsdam Rescue Squad members attempted to resuscitate her and took her to Canton-Potsdam Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Police identified the driver as Laurel L. Randall, 44, Potsdam. She and a passenger, Stephen E. Coates, 48, of Potsdam, were found at a residence on Debra Drive, where they had put the car in a garage, according to police.
Ms. Randall was given a Breathalyzer test that showed a blood alcohol content of 0.21 percent, police said.
A BAC of 0.08 percent or more is considered proof of intoxication under state law. Aggravated DWI is charged when the BAC is 0.18 percent or more.
She was charged with first-degree vehicular manslaughter, leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle accident, tampering with physical evidence, driving while intoxicated, aggravated DWI and conspiracy.
Mr. Coates was charged with tampering with physical evidence and conspiracy. Both were arraigned before Village Justice Nicholas J. Pignone and taken to the St. Lawrence County jail, Canton. Ms. Randall was held on $10,000 bail; Mr. Coates held on $3,000 bail.

New York Red Bulls
Earlier this week, the club released the news that Chris Rolfe would return to wearing the number 17 while Steven Kinney would fill the number 18 shirt in 2013 for the Fire. Today, we announce a few more number changes, this time with three offseason acquisitions…
A new midfield partnership for Joel Lindpere and Jeff Larentowicz in Chicago has at least in part brought along with it new numbers than those the pair have previously ever worn.
Having worn 20 during his three seasons at Red Bull, Lindpere will now suit up in the number 26 this year for the Fire. He says switching number has actually been part of the routine whenever he's joined a new club.
"I've been a different number at every club I've been to. It's always sort of like a new beginning for me," he joked.
PERUSE: TrueCar Chicago Fire Player Registry
In reality, he also selected 26 out of respect for Fire players that have been with the club longer than him.
"I chose it because I knew some of the other guys that had been here for a while were choosing new numbers. I wanted to just pick a number no one else would -- it was one no one had worn in a while at the Fire and now it's mine."
NOTE: Previous #26s in Fire History: Mike Sorber (2000), Amos Magee (2001), Billy Walsh (2002), Denny Clanton (2004), Andy Herron (2006, 2008).
Having worn numbers 31 and 13 while with New England and number 4 while with the Colorado Rapids, Larenowicz is changing it up again by choosing the number 20.
Much like Lindpere, it was about starting a new in Chicago…
"I think it's a good looking number," said Larentowicz. "I've never worn it before and moving to Chicago I was looking for a fresh start and I didn't want to feel or look like I did in the past."
NOTE: Previous #20s in Fire History: Francis Okaroh (1998-99), Jamar Beasley (2001), Sergi Daniv (2002), Orlando Perez (2003-04), Tony Sanneh (2005-06), Mike Banner (2008), Brian McBride (2008-10), Tony Walls (2012)
The more things change, the more they stay the same as Brazilian forward Maicon Santos will stick with the number 29 that he's worn with previous MLS clubs Chivas USA, Toronto FC and D.C. United.
NOTE: Previous #29s in Fire History: Thiago (2005), Peter Lowry (2008-2009).

On Monday, I rang up the Fire's latest addition midfielder Joel Lindpere.
While you should definitely read this story talking about his desire to move from New York to Chicago, I've also included some other quotes below...
What are your thoughts on the Chicago Fire coming off of last year?
"I think the team is getting stronger day-by-day and I'm just pleased to see it. They have a good crowd, good coach and good team so it wasn't difficult to make my choice. I'm happy to join the club and I'd like to give something more to it.
"I think every player is capable of making their team stronger and so I want to give something towards the team's improvement. They have guys in the club that have been in the U.S. National team and it shows in the quality they had last season."
Lindpere will no longer be scoring against the Fire
With 97 out of a possible 98 MLS regular season appearances for New York, you've played in more games than any other MLS player the last three seasons. What do you have to say about your health and consistency to see the field?
"I've really been trying to be smart so I've had injury issues and I'm really trying to avoid hard fields and artificial grounds but I'm trying to take part in every training session, it doesn't matter how.
"For every player the most important thing is to play games. To be fit you need to practice but sometimes you need to be smart to avoid all these injuries and happenings. I don't know how its been possible but the last two seasons I took part in every single MLS game. Last year I was the only one to take part in 37 games [regular season and playoffs] and it was the same in 2011. Nobody can say I'm not giving my all to be on the field every game.
"The thing is, I just want to be useful for the team and if I can give even just a couple minutes for the team rather than push too hard and be injured, then I think its smarter to be fit and give something to the team. I think I've been good at it and that's the way I should continue."
You tallied three goals in your first four matches against the Fire... I think we're all glad you're now on our side...
"(Laughs) It doesn't matter where or who you score against so long as you score. I've scored some important goals and one of them was against Chicago in the opening of Red Bull Arena [in 2010].
"I've been scoring goals against different teams and then its good now I can try to score for them. This must be part of the reason for my move."
What have you taken away in your early discussions with Frank Klopas?
"My aim in leaving Red Bull was to play centrally and I know that I have a partner in the midfield that I would love to play with and if we find communication, I know I can play really well in the heart of midfield.
"I really think Frank welcomes me to the club as a central midfielder and that's my wish and reason to join the club. That's the thing I was missing at Red Bull and I'm so happy that if the coach sees me in this position that I'm ready to take the challenge."
WATCH: Lindpere scores first MLS goal vs. Fire at Red Bull Arena – 3/27/2010
First, a warm welcome to the newest member of the Chicago Fire, midfielder Joel Lindpere.
The move to acquire the Estonian international was met with pretty high praise from yours truly, considering all that was exchanged was an international roster spot. Also consider that the guy has scored a few goals against the Fire since coming to MLS (three to be exact and four if you count a preseason goal he scored back in 2011).
That aside, here are five other reasons I can really appreciate the move for the club's latest addition...
- He's the very definition of an iron man – In a total of 98 MLS regular season matches he's been eligible for over the last three seasons, Lindpere has appeared in exactly 97 games, the most of any MLS player in that time span. That also includes goalkeepers.
Players on the current Fire roster with comparable MLS appearances over the last three MLS seasons: Dominic Oduro (93 with Chicago/Houston), Patrick Nyarko (91, Chicago), Logan Pause (87, Chicago) and Wells Thompson (79, Colorado/Chicago).
Lindpere has 3 goals in 7 games vs. the Fire
- There's a certain swagger he has… He looks intimidating and the Estonian international has a certain bite that backs up the way he carries himself. His aggression and ability in the attack reminds me a bit of Dema Kovalenko, though with a few less yellow cards.…
- He has a pretty powerful left foot – Watch the video below. He's a threat in crossing the ball but can also unleash a pretty powerful shot. Combine this acquisition with that of Maicon Santos and the power in attack has been greatly upgraded.
- Competition (and rest) in the midfield – The biggest knock against the Fire in 2012 was the perceived lack of enough squad rotation. By season's end, the team looked a little bit tired and perhaps slightly predictable. With the likes of Nyarko, Alvaro Fernandez, Alex and the potential return of Corben Bone, the attacking midfield options available to Klopas in times of heavy fixture congestion have been upgraded as well.
- Good Results from transactions with Red Bull – Back in 2007 when Fire owner Andrew Hauptman filed tampering charges with New York relating to the Juan Carlos Osorio affair, the team received the Red Bulls' first round selection in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft which the team used to select the-ever dangerous Patrick Nyarko.
Just about a year ago, the Fire traded the rights of defender Wilman Conde to Red Bull in exchanged for an undisclosed, but rumored to be high amount of allocation money that presumably went towards the acquisitions of defender Arne Friedrich and forward Chris Rolfe.
Not a bad track record…
WATCH: Joel Lindpere Highlights
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?

Was the 2012 Chicago Fire Goal of the Year tournament just not enough for you? Did you think someone got short-changed?
Check out all 48 Fire goals scored in MLS play this season, put together by our video man, Leo Flores...
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)
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.
Saturday night's flat performance at New England combined with results in New York, D.C. and Houston have put the Fire in a precarious position going into this weekend's regular season finale vs. United. With all five playoff teams now known, the result for the Men in Red means the team could literally still be seeded anywhere from second to fifth in the East come Sunday morning…
With only one regular season game left, this will be the last edition of Playoff Math for 2012 where I look at each team's best and worst case scenarios and potential seedings. Enjoy!
1) Sporting KC
Current Points: 60 (40 GF)
Maximum Possible Points: 63
Highest/Lowest Possible Seed: 1/2
Last Game: vs. Philadelphia (10/24).
The Rundown: Things have worked pretty well for KC heading into the playoffs. Saturday night they went and earned a second result in New York this season and combined with the Fire's failure at New England, have nearly locked down the top spot in the East. At the very least, they'll finish second.
The Best Case: All they need to do is earn a draw in their final game against Philadelphia to take the top seed.
The Worst Case: A loss to Philly at midweek combined with a D.C.win over the Fire would push Sporting down to second based on the Goals For tiebreaker.
Beyond just being a solid team, Sporting have more than earned their position in the table by being smart about how they've earned results in difficult places to play.
2) D.C. United
Current Points: 57 (52 GF)
Maximum Possible Points: 60
Highest/Lowest Possible Seed: 1/4
Last Game: at Chicago (10/27; 3pm CT on NBC Sports Network)
The Rundown: D.C. was the biggest mover of the night and did it all in dramatic fashion by coming back from two deficits to eventually down the Columbus 3-2 behind Lewis Neal's stoppage time strike. The win propelled United past the Fire and into second, qualified them for their first postseason berth since 2007 all the while helping to end the Crew's postseason hopes.
The Best Case: A win Saturday against the Fire combined with a Sporting loss to Philadelphia would push United to first in the East. They could still lock down second on Saturday with just a draw against Chicago.
The Worst Case: A loss to the Fire and a New York win over Philadelphia would push D.C. to fourth and force them to host the Eastern Conference play-in game on October 31 or November 1.
3) Chicago Fire
Current Points: 56 (45 GF)
Maximum Possible Points: 59
Highest/Lowest Possible Seed: 2/5
Last Game: vs. D.C. United (10/27; 3pm CT on NBC Sports Network)
The Rundown: After winning seven of eight in late summer and fall, the Men in Red have dropped their last three of four. There is reason to be nervous but be glad the team is home and can still control their own destiny as it comes to earning a higher seed.
The Best Case: All it would take for the Fire to lock up second in the East is a win at home against D.C. on Saturday.
The Worst Case: New York will end its match with Philadelphia a half hour before kickoff at Toyota Park -- If the Red Bulls win and the Fire lose or draw against D.C. the team will at least be condemned to fourth place.
Then the team will point its eyes to Denver where Colorado hosts Houston (8pm CT) in the final match of the 2012 MLS regular season – if the Dynamo win with a Fire loss against DC, the Men in Red will fall to fifth and open up the postseason at Houston. If the Fire draw against D.C., they'll remain fourth regardless of what happens in Colorado.
4) New York Red Bulls
Current Points: 54 (54 GF)
Maximum Possible Points: 57
Highest/Lowest Possible Seed: 3/5
Last Game: at Philadelphia (10/27; 12:30pm CT on NBC Sports Network)
The Rundown: New York will be disappointed to not have done more against Sporting KC in two huge home games towards the end of the season but will be happy to go into the final weekend with a playoff berth locked.
The Best Case: Because the Fire and United play and are already ahead of New York, there is no way for Red Bull to finish higher than third. With that in mind, all they need to do is defeat Philadelphia to lock in third place and avoid the play-in game.
The Worst Case: A draw or less to Philadelphia and then Red Bull will also be watching the Houston/Colorado match closely that night. A Houston win would mean the Dynamo would at the very least host New York in the play-in game, while a draw or loss would mean Red Bull would host the Dynamo.
5) Houston Dynamo
Current Points: 53 (48 GF)
Maximum Possible Points: 56
Highest/Lowest Possible Seed: 3/5
last Game: at Colorado (10/27 8pm CT on Direct Kick/MLS Live)
The Rundown: Houston's 3-1 win over Philadelphia Saturday night combined with D.C.'s victory over Columbus clinched the 2011 MLS Cup finalists a place back in the playoffs. Because of their appearance in last year's championship match, the Dynamo also have to juggle the final group game of CONCACAF Champions League play this Wednesday when they welcome Honduran side Olimipa to BBVA Compass Stadium.
Luckily for the Dynamo, they need only a draw in the game to ensure advancement to the next round ahead of having to close out the regular season and fight for positioning in the East with a match at altitude in Colorado.
The Best Case: The Dynamo could finish as high as third in the East if both New York and Chicago lose their games earlier in the day and Houston defeats Colorado.
The Worst Case: The Fire and Red Bull both win their earlier matches condemning the Dynamo to fifth and rendering the game that night at Colorado meaningless. In that case, Houston would travel to D.C. United for the play-in game.
A lot has changed since my last Playoff Math entry. The team had just come off a disappointing 2-0 loss to Sporting KC while almost no other result in the East had gone the Fire's way that weekend. The team would follow the loss to KC up with a disappointing 3-1 home defeat to Philadelphia on Anniversary Night before earning a solid 2-0 win at New York three days later.
It all goes to show that Playoff Math isn't always foolproof but a good read nonetheless. With that here's the latest update, also recognizing the field in the East is down to six teams with Montreal's elimination last week…
1) Sporting KC (qualified)
Current Points: 59 (40 GF)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home, 1 away)
Maximum Possible Points: 65
Average Opponents Points: 44.5
Magic Number (for first place): 4
Remaining Schedule: at New York (10/20), vs. Philadelphia (10/24).
The Rundown: Sporting KC took a potential blow to their first place bid by leaving two points on the field late at Crew Stadium last Sunday. KC still has the inside track to finishing top of the conference for the second straight season but will have to navigate a tricky match at Red Bull this week to get there. If they can earn another win in New York, they'' all but clinch the top spot in the East, then needing only a win the following Wednesday home to Philadelphia.
2) Chicago Fire (qualified)
Current Points: 56 (45 GF)
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home, 1 away)
Maximum Possible Points: 62
Average Opponents Points: 41. 5
Magic Number (to first place): 9
Remaining Schedule: at New England (10/20), vs. D.C. United (10/27)
The Rundown: Despite falling in two of the last three matches, the Fire are in the playoffs and still find themselves with a reasonable shot at taking first in the East with the Sporting/Red Bull match looming this weekend. If Red Bull is able to win and the Fire can come away from New England victorious as well on Saturday, they'll be even on points with first place Kansas City and actually ahead on the first tie breaker (goals for).
That scenario would almost assuredly just require a Fire win on the final of the season vs. DC United to lock down first place (Sporting KC would have make up 6+ goals on Philadelphia in order to jump over the Fire.
More incentive to keep in mind… Should the Fire win their final two games, they'll at least finish third overall in the MLS standings, giving them a real shot at the CONCACAF Champions League should either Sporting KC or San Jose make MLS Cup.
3) D.C. United
Current Points: 54
Games Remaining: 3 (1 home, 1 away)
Maximum Possible Points: 60
Average Opponents Points: 52.5
Magic Number (to qualify): 2
Remaining Schedule: vs. Columbus (10/20), at Chicago (10/27)
The Rundown: D.C. has the most difficult remaining schedule of the group but with them hosting sixth-place Columbus Saturday, can step into the playoffs with just a draw Saturday against the Crew. With United facing the Fire on the final day of the season, D.C. has plenty of incentive to go for wins in both games in order to possibly finish with home field advantage in the first round. Should the Fire and Sporting KC completely collapse the Capital City club even has an outside shot at first in the East.
4) New York Red Bulls
Current Points: 53
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home, 1 away)
Maximum Possible Points: 59
Average Opponents Points: 47.5
Magic Number (to qualify): 3
Remaining Schedule: vs. Sporting KC (10/20), at Philadelphia (10/27)
The Rundown: New York's form the last four games combined with front office shake ups and chatter about head coach Hans Backe's status for next year can't fill a Red Bull fan full of confidence. Still, they control their own playoff destiny and can qualify as well as play spoiler this weekend with a win at home vs. Sporting KC.
With the Red Bulls going 10-0-3 through their first 13 matches this season at Red Bull Arena, both Sporting and the Fire found the chink in the armor there in recent weeks. Even still, New York remains 11-2-3 at home this year and shouldn't be underestimated with their backs a bit against the wall on Saturday.
5) Houston Dynamo
Current Points: 50
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home, 1 away)
Maximum Possible Points: 56
Average Opponents Points: 33.5
Magic Number: 6
Remaining Schedule: vs. Philadelphia (10/20), at Colorado (10/27)
The Rundown: Despite having a reasonably easy schedule to close the 2012 campaign, Houston has made things sort of difficult on themselves down the stretch, going 1-1-1 in their last three matches all against sides outside of the playoff picture. Luckily, they still have the easiest schedule of all remaining playoff teams, hosting Philadelphia this weekend before visiting Colorado on the 27th.
With that high-altitude trip looming on the final day, the Dynamo would do well to take care of business Saturday against the Union where a win would necessitate just a draw on at the Rapids. A win Saturday combined with a Crew loss at DC would push Houston back into the playoffs for the second straight season.
6) Columbus Crew
Current Points: 49
Games Remaining: 2 (1 home, 1 away)
Maximum Possible Points: 55
Average Opponents Points: 38
Magic Number: 8
Remaining Schedule: at D.C. United (10/20), vs. Toronto FC (10/28)
The Rundown: Another late goal last Sunday at home vs. Sporting KC likely salvaged the Crew's season, keeping the team within one point of fifth place Houston heading into a harrowing six-pointer Saturday at DC.
A victory keeps the team in the playoff hunt heading into the last match of the season, a very winnable home game vs. Toronto. A win plus a Houston draw or loss puts the Crew in the driver's seat. They've played with nothing to lose since August, no reason they should stop now.
From a traveling fan perspective, all of Fire nation should want the Crew to sneak into the playoffs and the Fire to have a chance at them in the first round.
This Week's Predictions:
New York Red Bulls 2, Sporting KC 1
Chicago Fire 2, New England Revolution 0
D.C. United 1, Columbus Crew 1
Houston Dynamo 2, Philadelphia Union 1
If those hold true the standings coming out of the weekend would be...
1) x-Chicago - 59pts. (47 GF)
2) x-Sporting KC - 59pts. (41 GF)
3) x-New York - 56pts. (56 GF)
4) x-D.C. United - 55pts. (50 GF)
5) Houston - 53pts. (47 GF)
6) Columbus - 50pts. (41 GF)
Let's hope I'm right!

|Carbon County resident Billie Heilesen pumps gas at Price city gas station. Local residents have recently seen a slight decrease in price at the pump.
Carbon County residents have witnessed the average price decrease slightly to $3.24 per gallon for self-serve regular unleaded gasoline.
At the state level, Utah's motorists have found some relief at the pump as prices creeped downward after the constant increases leading up to Memorial Day.
But despite the recent declines, gas pump prices in the Intermountain West remain higher than one month ago, reported AAA Utah.
The average price in Utah for one gallon of regular, self-serve gasoline is $3.25.
The price is 4 cents higher than last month's report on May 15 and 34 cents higher than one year ago.
Utah's all-time high price, $3.28, was recorded on May 31.
At the national level, the average price for a gallon of regular, self-serve gasoline is $3.07.
The price is 2 cents lower than last month's report and 17 cents higher than a year ago.
The national all time high average price, $3.23, was recorded on May 24.
"Below average inventories and high demand shot prices up the last few months," said Rolayne Fairclough, AAA Utah spokesperson. "Gasoline inventories are firming up and this, coupled with the slight decrease in demand after Memorial Day, gives some relief from the constant price increases at the pumps."
The average prices in most of the Intermountain states show increases from last month.
Idaho's current average price for a gallon of regular, self-serve is $3.25. The pump cost is 6 cents higher than the average price in May's report.
Montana's price increased 8 cents this past month to the current average price of $3.24.
Wyoming's motorists saw prices jump 1 cent this month to the current average price of $3.24.
Arizona's price dropped 3 cents to $3.06 a gallon. Nevada's price dropped 1 cent to the current average of $3.24.
California, which had the highest price in the nation in May, had an 18 cent decrease since May. The current average price in California is $3.30 per gallon.
Hawaii currently has the highest average price in the country at $3.40 a gallon.
In the Continental United States, Illinois has the highest average price at $3.34.
South Carolina has the lowest average price at $2.87.
The Utah cities surveyed by AAA typically reported price increases during the last month. Logan was the exception with a 2 cent decrease in the average price of regular, self-serve gasoline.
The average price in Logan is now $3.18. Ogden's price increased 2 cents to $3.19 a gallon.
Provo's price increased 5 cents this past month. The current average price in Provo is $3.24.
The cost of gasoline increased 6 cents a gallon in St. George from last month's report. A gallon of regular, self-serve in St. George is now $3.30.
Vernal's price jumped 9 cents to the current average, $3.28.
Filling up in Moab increased 14 cents a gallon. The current average price in Moab is now $3.36.
from the price of crude oil and gasoline these past few months as crude oil prices were low and gasoline prices shot up due to below typical average inventories for this time of year," pointed out Fairclough. "Now the demand for crude oil is increasing as more gasoline is produced and the price of gasoline is dropping because supply is up. With all this in place the prices of both crude and gasoline have significant room to move before the traditional parallel relationship between the two is reestablished."
Motorists continue to suffer at the pumps and as they try to absorb the high prices into budgets. `
AAA Utah offers 16 tips to help consumers stretch a tank of gasoline.
Carbon County motorists should:
Make certain that the tires on vehicles are properly inflated.
Every pound of pressure tires are under-inflated can result in up to a 2 percent loss in fuel efficiency.
Tires should be checked with a pressure gauge regularly.
Radial tires can be under-inflated and still look normal.
Keep the vehicle's front suspension and steering in proper alignment.
Make sure brakes are functioning properly to minimize rolling resistance.
Change motor oil as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
People should consider choosing energy-conserving oil, which contains additives that reduce friction and increase vehicles' fuel economy.
Check and replace air filters.
Clogged filters can cause an increase in fuel consumption.
Follow the recommended engine maintenance schedule in your owner's manual to ensure optimal engine performance and to conserve fuel.
Use premium fuel only if vehicles require it. The extra expense is not necessary.
People should check owner's manuals to determine the correct octane level for the vehicles.
Observe the speed limit.
As motorists drive faster, aerodynamic drag increases.
As a result, at speeds in excess of 60 miles per hour, fuel economy decreases rapidly.
Use overdrive gears during highway driving.
Using overdrive gears decreases a car's engine speed, reducing fuel consumption and engine wear.
Take advantage of cruise control features.
Cruise control features help drivers maintain a constant speed when traveling on highways.
Avoid hard acceleration and drive defensively.
Drivers should try to brake and accelerate smoothly.
Idling unnecessarily wastes fuel.
The majority of today's motor vehicles do not need to be warmed up, indicated AAA Utah.
Run errands with a plan.
People should try to make as few trips as possible in order to conserve fuel.
Take a load off the vehicle's wheels.
A vehicle weighed down with heavy items can increase fuel consumption by 1 percent to 2 percent, pointed out AAA Utah.
Travel light.
A loaded roof rack can decrease fuel economy by up to 5 percent.
Keep windows rolled up.
Today's vehicle has a very efficient air conditioning system.
When driving on highways use the vent feature rather than air conditioning.
Shop aggressively for the lowest motor vehicle fuel price available.
AAA's fuel gauge report is one of the most comprehensive retail gasoline survey available, with more than 85,000 self-serve stations surveyed nationwide. Data is provided in cooperation with OPIS Energy Group and Wright Express.

The Flagler County Sheriff's Office searched into the early morning hours Sunday after a report of missing boaters.
Deputies said they were contacted by the father of a teenager who had gone boating with friends around noon on Saturday.
Deputies said when she failed to return by 9 p.m. and the father was unable to contact her, he called the Sheriff's Office.
Deputies said they located the vehicle and empty boat trailer at Bings Landing on North Oceanshore Drive.
After searching the area, deputies called in the Volusia County Sheriff's Office's Air One helicopter as well as the Florida Wildlife Commission, the U.S. Coast Guard and the FCSO Marine Patrol Unit, officials said.
Deputies said the drifting boat and passengers were located by Air One on the Intracoastal Waterway near the Whitney Lab in Marineland around 1:15 a.m., Sunday.
The Palm Coast boat owner, Danilo Gomez, 43, explained that he, three family members and the teenager were en route home from St. Augustine when they experienced engine problems, deputies said.
Gomez said the cellphone they had did not work and he was unable to call for assistance. Deputies removed the passengers and the boat was being moored in Marineland until the owner could make arrangements to move it, officials said.
"We are happy for the positive outcome of the search. There was great cooperation between several agencies to locate these boaters who otherwise may have spent the night drifting on the water. I want to thank everyone who was involved in this search," said Flagler County Sheriff James L Manfre.

Lipscomb (12-18 7-11(ASun))
Mercer (22-10 14-4(ASun))
3/6/2013 | Macon, Ga. - Hawkins Arena | Attendance: 3527
Wednesday, March 06, 2013
MACON, Ga. – Unable to overcome shooting 22 percent from the field in the second half and 38 percent from the free throw line for the entire game, the Lipscomb men's basketball team dropped an 82-48 decision to top seed Mercer in the opening round of the 2013 Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament in Macon, Ga. on Wednesday night.
The opening 20 minutes of action saw the A-Sun regular-season champion Bears (22-10) jump out to a 12-point cushion before the Bisons battled back with the final two baskets of the half on a tip in by junior guard Khion Sankey and a layup by sophomore guard Carter Sanderson.
The momentum at the end of the half did not carry over however as Mercer opened the half with a 10-1 run. The drought against the top defense in the A-Sun continued until the 13:56 mark when Sanderson hit a three for the first shot of the second half for LU.
"We talked at halftime about how important the first five minutes of the second half was and we turned the ball over a couple of times," said Lipscomb head coach Scott Sanderson. "In the first four minutes, we didn't get very good shot selections at all and Mercer got good shots and stretched the lead out."
A pair of threes by senior guard Deonte Alexander on consecutive possessions with just under 12 minutes to go cut the lead to 15 at 56-41 but the Bears would quickly step on the gas and put the game out of reach for good.
Alexander wrapped up his career in Purple and Gold with a game-high 15-point effort on 5-of-15 shooting from the field including 4-of-9 from deep. Sophomore forward Martin Smith was the only other Bison to finish in double figures with a 10-point night.
The Mercer defense held the Bisons to the second-lowest scoring output of the season including limiting redshirt freshman center Stephen Hurt to 1-of-2 shooting from the field after averaging 11.8 points per game coming into the night.
"Mercer makes it hard for you to score with their size and length," said Sanderson. "They don't have any weaknesses on either end of the floor. That's the reason why they won our league."
Langston Hall led Mercer to the win finishing with 12 points as one of four Bears to reach double figures.
Rebounding turned out to be the only stats column that Lipscomb won edging out Mercer 34-32 thanks to a team-high, nine-rebound effort from Sankey. Mercer drained 24-of-28 shots from the charity stripe, while Lipscomb was only 8-of-21.

text: Wednesday morning a small shower passed over the Price area making the streets glossy and the sunrise spectacular. But there is danger in both the sunset and sunrises during this time of the year, because the sun is directly in line with the streets that run east and west in town, and drivers have a hard time seeing traffic lights, other traffic and particularly pedestrians. Both those in vehicles and those on foot should never assume that an oncoming car that is driving into the sun can see them.

Submission Change the ThinkPad and it will Die->
ErichTheRed writes: Here's an interesting editorial piece about the ThinkPad over at CNN. The basic gist of it is what many ThinkPad devotees have been saying since Lenovo started tweaking the classic IBM design to make the ThinkPad more like a MacBook, Sony or other high-end consumer device. I'm a big fan of these bulletproof, decidedly unsexy business notebooks, and would be unhappy if Lenovo decided to sacrifice build quality for coolness. tl;dr: You can have my 1992 clicky IBM ThinkPad keyboard when you pull it from my cold dead hands.

5 U.S. Code § 4108 - Employee agreements; service after training
(a) An employee selected for training for more than a minimum period prescribed by the head of the agency shall agree in writing with the Government before assignment to training that he will—
(1) continue in the service of his agency after the end of the training period for a period at least equal to three times the length of the training period unless he is involuntarily separated from the service of his agency; and
(b) The payment agreed to under subsection (a)(2) of this section may not be required of an employee who leaves the service of his agency to enter into the service of another agency in any branch of the Government unless the head of the agency that authorized the training notifies the employee before the effective date of his entrance into the service of the other agency that payment will be required under this section.
(c) If an employee, except an employee relieved of liability under subsection (b) of this section or section 4102 (b) of this title, fails to fulfill his agreement to pay to the Government the additional expenses incurred by the Government in connection with his training, a sum equal to the amount of the additional expenses of training is recoverable by the Government from the employee or his estate by—
(1) setoff against accrued pay, compensation, amount of retirement credit, or other amount due the employee from the Government; and
The head of the agency concerned, under the regulations prescribed under section 4118 of this title, may waive in whole or in part a right of recovery under this subsection, if it is shown that the recovery would be against equity and good conscience or against the public interest.

CANTON Morley Volunteer Fire Department crews responded to a fatal car crash Tuesday to find a colleague in the wreckage.
Thomas T. Butterfield, 51, a firefighter and member of the departments fire police, was killed when a car driven by his father, Theron H. Butterfield, 81, slid sideways into the path of another vehicle on Morley-Potsdam Road, state police said.
It was rough, firefighter and emergency medical technician Michael L. Berger said. Its always tough when its one of your own.
Thomas Butterfield, Canton, died at the scene, while his father, a Potsdam resident, was taken to Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Potsdam, where he died of his injuries, troopers said.
The 4:30 p.m. fatal crash was followed hours later by another collision on Morley-Potsdam Road that left two people injured, St. Lawrence County sheriffs deputies said.
In the 9:09 p.m. crash, John G. Kramer, 73, Canton, was traveling northwest when he lost control of his vehicle and crossed into the oncoming lane, striking a vehicle driven by Nicholas J. Deon, 26, of Norwood, deputies said.
Mr. Kramer and an unnamed passenger in his vehicle were treated at Canton-Potsdam Hospital for minor injuries, deputies said, and there were no other injuries.
In the first crash, troopers said the elder Mr. Butterfield was driving west on Morley-Potsdam Road when he lost control of his 1998 Chevrolet and slid into the path of an eastbound 2003 Dodge pickup truck driven by Larry A. Felt, 48, Canton.
The vehicle was struck on the passenger side, where the younger Mr. Butterfield was sitting, according to a release from state police.
Mr. Felt was not injured.
Canton Fire & Rescue and Morley Fire Department responded to the scene, which was still fresh in the minds of Mr. Butterfields fellow firefighters Wednesday afternoon.
His turnout gear and black crepe hung on the grille of one of Morleys fire engines as members stood in the firehouse fondly remembering a man who had spent more than two decades as a firefighter.
He was a good guy, Morley Fire Chief Michael S. Perkins said of Mr. Butterfield, who had joined the Morley department in 2009 but had a long history with other departments including West Potsdam, where his father was a charter member.
Hed do anything you asked him to do, Chief Perkins, 24, said of the family friend whom he had always known as a firefighter. If you told him to stand out on the corner for four hours and direct traffic, he would do it.
Members of the department will send vehicles and an honor guard to participate in the Butterfields funeral, firefighters said.
Arrangements were still pending Wednesday night, according to an obituary notice.
Mr. Berger, an EMT with 17 years of experience with several north country departments, said Tuesdays accident marked the 11th time he has experienced the loss of fellow first responder. The pain remains as fresh as the first time, he said.
It hurts, Mr. Berger said. Its family.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate Reporter
The prescription for better wildlife habitat in the region around Bruin Point - fire. And the fire, nearly 1,000 acres in all, is coming before July 1.
The time frame and acreage are predictable because they are planned by the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands. On Tuesday, the division's northeast area fire management officer Steve Rutter described the so-called Cold Springs Prescribed Burn at a special session of the Carbon County Commission. He emphasized the safeguards that will be in place to prevent a repeat of last year's West Scofield fire, a prescribed burn that broke out of its boundaries and threatened mountain cabins before it was brought under control.
Like a NASA launch, the prescription has a long list of go-no go decision criteria for each day of the week-long burn. A single "no" on any point is enough to scrub the mission. If for any reason the scheduled burn is delayed past the first of July, then the entire burn will be canceled until next year, Mr. Rutter said.
The reason for the strict deadline is that sagebrush begins losing its moisture rapidly at that time. Plant moisture is important for preventing the blaze from spreading and also for preserving the habitat. "We don't want to create a moonscape," Mr. Rutter told commissioners, "The objective is to kill subalpine fir only." No one wants to ruin the habitat for sage grouse, he said.
The state Division of Wildlife Resources, along with Hunt Oil, which owns property in the area, want to improve deer and elk habitat by getting rid of the conifers and allowing aspen to spread.
Among the many precautions involved in the burn are:
* Torching only a portion of the 1,000 acres at a time. The burn zones are mapped out like a patchwork on the east side of the county. Crews will ignite the trees with hand torches at the lower part of slopes, followed by helicopters with drip torches covering the top.
* Nightly inspection of each burned area. The West Scofield fire did not get out of control during the prescribed burn, but afterward. When Commissioner Mike Milovich asked if the strong winds the area has been experiencing pose a problem, Mr. Rutter replied that those inspections will go on for six weeks after the prescribed burn if necessary, just to make sure.
* Seven fire engines and a 20-member hand crew are dedicated to this burn. Neither personnel nor equipment can be pulled to fight any other fires. Crews will camp at the site and eat catered meals there until the job is done. In addition, water tank trucks will be on hand to refill engines, if needed. The torch-bearing helicopter can also be refitted with a "pumpkin" - a collapsible canvas bag that can carry thousands of gallons of water to extinguish fires.
Mr. Rutter also said the prescription criteria include compliance with air quality regulations.
In addition to fire control, other concerns include archaeology (surveys show nothing in the area) and personal property (no cabins).
In answer to a question from Commissioner Bill Krompel about erosion after the fire, Mr. Rutter explained that the sage should remain standing. There will be some erosion, but it will not be extreme. Fred Kaminsky of the US Forest Service seconded that opinion, explaining the spring-early summer period will allow ground-holding vegetation to spread quickly.
Commissioners expressed their confidence in the plan. Commissioner Krompel - smiling - asked Mr. Rutter, "So if something does go awry, we can blame you?"
"Absolutely," was the reply.

Cited by the San Francisco Chronicle as "the most beautiful community college ever built", Foothill College is truly one of a kind. Located in Los Altos Hills, the 122 acre Foothill College campus lays nestled in the surrounding foothills. When founded Time Magazine referred to Foothill College as a "mountaintop among U.S. junior colleges." Foothill College continues to be one of the top community colleges in California both athletically and academically. Serving a student population of over 18,000, Foothill offers over 70 degree programs and an additional 39 certificate programs. And with a 81% student-athlete transfer rate, Foothill continues to be in a class of it's own.
After a few years of instability the Foothill softball program was put on hiatus. However with the hire of Collin Pregliasco along with the hard work and dedication of the athletic department and entire coaching staff, Foothill softball looks to reestablish itself as one of the top community college softball programs in California.
Our program is run like a D1 program. We expect a lot out of our players, while we expect to give our players just as much in return. Our program is a year-round program that includes an extensive off-season program that consists of on field practices in addition to speed, strength, and agility training. Our schedule consists of 40 games including numerous tournaments across the state.
We also have some of the best facilities in the state. Facilities include a softball team room where we review practice and game film and have pre/post game meetings, a state-of-the art training room where players get worked on before and after practices and games by two full time trainers and numerous assistant trainers, an athletic weight room, an athletic learning center, and we are currently in the process of planning a new softball stadium.
Our program philosophy is to develop the whole person, not just the athlete. We ensure that our players better themselves athletically as well as academically and socially. Our goal is to transfer each of our players to attend and play at a four year university.
Foothill College has a full time athletic advisor just for our athletes. With her help, athletes can lay out an education plan that fits their academic and athletic goals. Whether it is to finish general education classes and transfer to a four year university, attain an A.A. degree, or finish a high-demand career program, Laurie Bertani will ensure that you meet your goals.
Our coaching staff is looking for those highly dedicated and competitive players to continue the great tradition of Foothill softball. We hope you choose us as your academic and athletic institution.
