POTSDAM Ten years after military doctors told him a sprint triathlon would be impossible, James J. Wilkes, Potsdam, completed the Triple Anvil Triathlon at Lake Anna State Park in Virginia, swimming 7.2 miles, biking 336 miles and running 78.6 miles, all within 60 hours.
It hurt, he said. It rained all three days.
The 38-year-old former Army first lieutenant retired from the military in 2004 following injuries that left him in the dark about his future.
When Mr. Wilkes was deployed to Iraq in 2003, he took a grenade to the neck, causing a traumatic brain injury. He now suffers from a constant migraine, and sporadically loses his sight and function in his left arm.
While the grenade took a physical toll on him, Mr. Wilkes also suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder. One of the most difficult memories for him is knowing that he lost a soldier during that mission.
I led a very dangerous mission, pushed for it and fought for it, he said. To that credit I had the loss of the first National Guard soldier in 50 years over in Iraq. Not just the loss, but we took a lot of casualties, myself included, and it weighs in my head every day.
The weight of his injuries led to a severe depression that included several suicide attempts in 2006, one of which was almost successful.
I was so far down the hole that nobody had faith in me, he said.
Mr. Wilkes said he had two options: to live or to die.
He chose life, and despite doctors telling him he would never be able to, he started training for triathlons.
Impossible is the one word in the world that I hate, Mr. Wilkes said.
The first triathlon he did was Norwoods annual Beach Triathlon in 2010, and hes been doing them ever since.
Although the symptoms of his injuries often kick in while hes en route, he doesnt let them come between him and his goals.
If he is swimming when his arm gives out, he tucks it into a belt that he wears and swims with one arm.
Occasionally, he also has had to stop bicycling and wait for his eyesight to return before continuing a race.
In 2011, Mr. Wilkes joined Team Red, White and Blue, a nonprofit organization that uses physical and social activities to connect veterans to their communities.
The organization was founded in 2010 and has since grown excessively, with more than 22,000 members, 14,000 to 15,000 of them being veterans.
A lot of veterans find comfort in staying physically active, said Blayne P. Smith, executive director of Team RWB.
Its important that nonveterans are members too, so veterans can connect better with the community, he said.
Mr. Wilkes said he now races for other people who are going through what he went through, feeling shelved and written off upon his return from Iraq.
He said he kept a note on his bike during the Virginia race that read: This isnt for you. This is for people who cant or wont.
Mr. Wilkes said hes already training for his next undertaking: a decatriathlon in Mexico in November 2014, which will mark 10 years since his military retirement.

TOP: Trial of the Effect of Recombinant Human Parathyroid Hormone (ALX1-11) on Fracture Incidence in Women With Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

- How to Read a Study Record
This is an 18-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase III trial with a 12-month interim analysis of the effect of ALX1-11, recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84) (rhPTH [1-84]), on fracture incidence in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, the TOP study.
Drug: ALX1-11
Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double-Blind
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|An 18-Month Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase III, Trial With a 12-Month Interim Analysis of the Effect of Recombinant Human Parathyroid Hormone (ALX1-11) on Fracture Incidence in Women With Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
- Compare effects of 18 months of treatment with ALX1-11/placebo on the incidence of new and/or worsened thoracic and lumbar vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis receiving calcium and vitamin D3 supplements
- To evaluate the safety of ALX1-11 and to compare the effects of ALX1-11 or placebo treatment on additional measures of efficacy
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|April 2000
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|November 2003
Parathyroid hormone (PTH), a polypeptide consisting of 84 amino acids that is synthesized and secreted by the parathyroid glands, is a principal regulator of calcium homeostasis through concerted action on kidney, intestine and bone. Parathyroid hormone exerts its action on bone to release calcium into the extracellular fluid as a process of bone remodeling and also to maintain the serum calcium concentration, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood. In some circumstances, PTH may exert an anabolic action on bone and can stimulate osteoblast proliferation and mature osteoblast function. The net effect of exogenous PTH administration on bone turnover depends on the pattern of delivery. A continuous long-term infusion gives a net decrease in trabecular bone volume, whereas daily single injections result in a net increase.
NPS Allelix Corp. is developing ALX1-11, recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84), for the treatment of osteoporosis. ALX1-11 is identical to the endogenous intact 84 amino acid human hormone and will be self-administered on a daily basis by subcutaneous (sc) injection.
Currently, there is no approved therapy for osteoporosis capable of stimulating the formation of new bone of normal composition and structure. Most therapies in development are anti-catabolic and only prevent further bone loss (e.g., estrogen replacement, bisphosphonates, and calcitonins). ALX1-11 has the potential to stimulate new bone formation in osteoporotic patients, thereby increasing bone mass and preventing fractures. Patients with moderately or severely reduced bone density and a fracture would be expected to benefit from treatment, thereby improving functional status and alleviating symptoms.

Patients must have been off the following agents for the specified times before entering the screening phase of this clinical trial:
- Any investigational drug (30 days)
- Anabolic steroids or androgens (6 consecutive months)
- Active vitamin D3 metabolites and analogs, e.g., calcitriol (90 days)
- Systemic corticosteroids, more than 5 mg/day prednisone or a systemic corticosteroid formulation equivalent to 5 mg/day prednisone (12 consecutive months). Steroid use in excess of 5mg/day requires PMO approval and may require consultation with the CAB.
A patient who has been enrolled in the study and needs to receive an acute bolus of steroids (oral or injectable) for a self-limited illness may continue treatment in the study if the following requirements are met:
- Exposure to steroids is limited to no more than 30 consecutive days
- The maximal dose of steroid (prednisone equivalent) is limited to no more than 225 mg (7.5 mg each day for 30 days)

- Daily inhaled corticosteroids unless dose is below 1200 mg/day of beclomethasone.
- Bisphosphonates, including investigational bisphosphonates. If the patient has received bisphosphonates for more than 90 days during the 12-month period prior to start of study drug, the patient is excluded from this study. The patient may be enrolled if she: has taken bisphosphonates for greater than or equal to 30 days but less than or equal to 90 days, and completes a washout (i.e., bisphosphonate is discontinued) for an amount of time equivalent to the amount of time that bisphosphonate therapy was received prior to having any screening visit and evaluations performed. No washout is necessary if the patient has taken bisphosphonates for less than 30 days. If the patient has ever received more than 12 months of bisphosphonate therapy, the patient is excluded from this study.
- Intravenous (IV) pamidronate. Patient must be receiving pamidronate specifically to treat osteoporosis. Patient can have received only ONE IV dose of pamidronate in the 12 months immediately preceding the screening visit. Patient should not have received this one dose within the three months immediately prior to the screening visit. Patient must not have received more than TWO IV doses of pamidronate as treatment at any time.
- Cyclical etidronate. Exposure to cyclical etidronate must be less than or equal to 6 months on a standard dose (e.g. 400 mg/day). Patient should not have exposure to cyclical etidronate for 9 months prior to the screening visit.
- Phenytoin for seizure control. If the patient has received phenytoin within five years of the screening visit, the patient is excluded from this study. The patient may continue in the screening process if 15 years have passed since the last dose of phenytoin at the time of the screening visit. If the phenytoin use was between 5-15 years before the screening visit and the patient received phenytoin for less than 2 months.
Patients may be enrolled if they have been stabilized on the following therapy for the specified amount of time:
- Thyroid hormone (<0.1 mg/day thyroxine) therapy for at least 6 months. If taking > 0.1 mg/day but < 0.2 mg/day, must have serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level > 0.1 mU/L. Patients will be excluded if they are taking doses of > 0.2 mg/day. If a patient has had a minimal change in L-thyroxine dose of less than or equal to 0.025 mg/day within 6 months of the screening visit, and has been on this new dose for at least 2 months, she may continue in the screening process for this clinical study. The patient's history with L-thyroxine must be clearly documented in the source documents. If a patient requires an increase in her thyroid replacement dose, after she has been enrolled in this clinical study, each increment should be less than or equal to 0.025mg/day, and increments should not occur more frequently than once per month, as recommended by a physician who is caring for the patient. The patient must have a TSH and T4 level within 3 months of the dose change to ensure that the patient does not become hyperthyroid.
- Stable dosage of thiazide for at least 3 consecutive months.
All patients must stop the following therapies at least 4 weeks prior to the screening visit and remain off these therapies for the remainder of the clinical trial. Screening laboratories must be performed after the washout is complete. However, imaging studies (BMD, X-rays) may be performed prior to starting the calcitonin, estrogen, and selective estrogen receptor modulation (SERM) washout.
- Calcitonin
- Estrogen replacement therapy by oral, transdermal or intramuscular administration
- SERM drugs, e.g., tamoxifen, raloxifene, Evista
- Vaginal application of estrogen-containing creams unless the dose is conjugated estrogen or estradiol: maximum of 0.5 g twice each week (total of 1.0 g weekly); or Estrace (Ogen): maximum of 1.0 g twice each week (total of 2.0 g weekly).
- Cytostatics, e.g., azathioprine, recombinant human tumor necrosis fusion (Fc) protein, monoclonal antibody against tumor necrosis factor (e.g., remicade [infliximab])
- The drug class tetracyclines
- Medication known to affect the metabolism of bone (the Principal Investigator should discuss this with the Project Medical Officer before the patient is excluded from enrollment)
E. Miscellaneous Concurrent Medications:
- Methotrexate - The antimetabolite, methotrexate, which interferes with DNA synthesis, repair and cellular replication should not be used by patients participating in this Phase III study. In general, immunomodulatory agents with antiproliferative activity are not permitted as a concomitant medication in this Phase III study.
- Intra-articular injections - Patients with chronic, active joint disease should be excluded from this Phase III study. Patients may receive a maximum of one intra-articular injection (ONE JOINT ONLY) every 6 months while participating in this Phase III study. The dose of corticosteroid injected should not exceed the anti-inflammatory equivalent dose of prednisone 40 mg suspension. The dose and volume should be adjusted downward as appropriate to the size of the joint.
- Provera is an acceptable concomitant medication when used according to the label instructions.

In the 87th minute on Saturday night at Toyota Park, the Fire were holding on to a 2-1 lead against Montreal, who were seven points and two playoff positions ahead in the table. Daniel Paladini, who had come on for Alex 25 minutes earlier, set up to take a corner, but there were just two Fire players forward against six or so in blue. Jeff Larentowicz and Quincy Amarikwa were moving around, doing their best to make space, but this was all about the chance to have the ball deep in Montreal's half and relieve some pressure.
Paladini saw Amarikwa a half yard away from his marker at the penalty spot and floated a ball in towards him. Judging from how the ball arrived to Amarikwa at about the height of Montreal center back Hassoun Camara, and considering Camara's listed at 6-2 and Amarikwa at 5-9, the Fire forward's insanely acrobatic bicycle attempt got his feet up to a half-foot above his own head.
Even though Amarikwa whiffed, it was one of those athletic, confident, creative, and opportunistic moments that can define a soccer game because generally, the team that comes out the most athletic, confident, creative, and opportunistic is going to win the games. (Also, Amarikwa made up for the whiff by converting an equally impressive bike in the reserve match on Sunday morning.) It said more, too, that it was a substitute that was making this sort of tone-setting play.
Amarikwa has impressed Fire fans in his cameos this season because of his work rate, willingness to take defenders on, and his creative spontaneity on the ball (even if that means sometimes he holds onto it for a bit too long). Those were exactly the traits the Fire needed to get maximum points at home on Saturday, a critical result that leaves the team now just two points out of a playoff spot. Even though he didn't have the impact on the game, Amarikwa's work was symbolic of that of the whole team.
In the third game in eight days, with Mike Magee and Chris Rolfe day-to-day, Patrick Nyarko out, Dilly Duka picking up a new knock every game, new DP Juan Luis Anangono acclimating to MLS, Logan Pause coming back from injury, and the pressure for points greater than it's been all season following Wednesday's Open Cup exit, the Fire came out on Saturday with a new look to them.
BTL: Fire 2.0 earns key point in Houston
As two deeper lying midfielders, Pause and Larentowicz haven't found their rhythm together this season, but this time Frank Klopas put them out with Alex (who took the spot when Pause got injured) pushed forward with Anangono. The wide players were the same (Joel Lindpere and Duka), but the seemingly minor adjustment of adding Pause and pushing Alex farther forward actually provided the Fire the first fresh tactical look seen since the spring.
And it was a solid system, too, because it morphed from a 4-5-1 with Alex dropping deeper during periods of Montreal possession, into the usual Fire 4-4-2 when the Fire won the ball, with Alex pushing on into space with Anangono. They worked well together on certain fast breaks; Anangono showed that he's not afraid to make lung-busting runs to clear out space for others. But as much as the system provided some necessary defensive support without sacrificing the slingshot counterattacking Klopas loves, the game was always going to be decided by the players stepping up into the spaces left by Nyarko, Magee, and Rolfe.
Klopas couldn't have asked for a better response from Lindpere and Duka, the two creative wide players who have fought for their playing time all season, and who scored the two goals. They took their chances (and a bit of luck), but they also held the ball, moved the team forward, tracked back, and generally kept the pace of the game far above the revolting one we saw on Wednesday night.
Saturday night showed the Fire's depth and flexibility in personnel, tactics, and mindset, and it was Amarikwa's bike that showed the Fire's potential for style and spontaneity. If this team is going to complete this massive comeback into playoff contention, it's as much the creativity as it is the grit that's going to take them there and it'll have to come not just from the superstars and leaders, but from everyone on the team.

At Toyota Park in May, Philly sat back, let the Fire run circles around them like some mean, old dog, then got a seemingly innocuous free kick and suddenly Jack McInerney, in on goal, kicked the team straight in the gut. That game felt like a one-act play, where the characters on stage build to an obvious conclusion, some grotesque act that you know is coming but still shocks and hurts when you see it live.
This Saturday, the Fire went to Philly to continue their climb back into the playoff picture and battled in a Three Act work of considerable drama. Each was punctuated by a goal. Here's the liner notes, starring Philly and Chicago, two mysterious characters.
Act One, The Set-Up (0-45')
Kick off. Philly comes out first, Chicago wakes up slowly, stretches arms to the sky, makes coffee, realizes it's in the middle of a game, and immediately pops into action. Philly, who tried to come out with high and tight pressure, find themselves being passed around in sequences of quick one-twos and flicks, like those that lead to a beautiful first goal, with not even 10 minutes gone.
Philly broadcasters (the chorus), clamor for more "intensity" from the home team. The Fire look comfortable but ominously cannot extend their lead. They start to slow down a bit and Philly enjoy a few minutes of confidence-boosting possession at the end of the half, including a couple of dangerous free kicks. The plot thickens.
Act Two, The Montage (45'-54')
This short intervening act provides the backbone of the drama. A little character development. Fresh off their orange slices, Philly and Chicago come out ready to party again.
Like Act One, Philly threaten first (Conor Casey flashes a shot just wide of goal two minutes in), but Chicago recovers and takes the upper hand. How predictable is this? Chicago finds space everywhere and kick off a few minutes of possession in the opponent's half like we haven't seen all season.
Cue montage and "Danger Zone." A few not particularly interesting forays forward foreshadow something for Philly, but Chicago cruises.
What can go wrong?
Act Three, The Climax (54-90)
The Montage ends. The motorcycle crashes. Le Toux gets in on Chicago's right and Sean Johnson makes a kick save. Chicago attacks and Rolfe finds enough space to squeeze a shot off - but Zac MacMath tips it over the bar. Go time. Philly go forward and get their goal with 30 minutes left - so much time for both to fight out the end.
Suddenly Philly is everywhere. Sean Johnson makes an impossible save off a corner. Another is cleared off the line. Chicago is wavering badly, Philly is matching Chicago's dominance from Act Two.
There is no music. Chicago fights with their inner identity battle between the disappointments early in the year and their confidence to close games. (Mike Magee said after the game, "I think there was a point in the 65th minute where we had been getting pummeled the whole half and we all kind of looked at each other and said this game is there for us to win.")
Two subs come on in the 67th, as Klopas tries to overturn Philly's momentum.
And then it happens, the climax. Chicago confronts Philly. They continue pressing. The spirit of fight and persistence embodied in Mike Magee and Patrick Nyarko combine with harrowing pressure. Nyarko fights the ball loose from a Philly midfielder and plays in Magee. Magee finishes calmly.
Your girlfriend is crying, but there's still twenty minutes time! The drama carries over but the game is rarely in doubt. A penalty shout scares the audience, so nobody leaves their seats. Then the violin music. A stoppage time kiss at the sunset. Chicago steals the points.
The Fire head east to Philly on Saturday night to take on the Union in a critical Eastern Conference clash (LIVE 6:30pm CT on My50). After earning a credible come-from-behind draw in Houston last weekend, the Men in Red will be confident of picking up all three points (and extracting some revenge) at PPL Park.
Here are some things to keep an eye on from a tactical perspective.
Isolating Jeff Parke – getting behind and in 1v1 situations with the Union defender
Similar to the Fire, individual errors have cost the Union in recent matches and veteran defender Jeff Parke has been the weak link in the Union defense over the past few MLS games.
Though excellent in the air, his positioning errors or slack marking led to numerous chances created for the opposing team. In both matches against Chivas and Houston, Parke was either forced or strayed out of position, leaving room behind him to be exploited.
READ: Duka, Alex look healthy for Philadelphia clash
With the ability of Magee and Rolfe to drop into deeper positions to pick up the ball and thus drag defenders like Parke out of position, the other Fire players must recognize these opportunities when they arise and try and take advantage of them.
Staying with the runners – trying to limit giving up preventable goals
In soccer, there is a major difference between giving up a 30 yard screamer and giving up a tap in because a defender decided to switch off and not follow his runner.
WATCH: Athletico Coaching Corner
All too often for the Fire this season giving up easy goals and frequently going a goal behind has been the teams M.O. Fire center back Bakary Soumare has made more than one costly error over the past month, most recently on the Dynamo goal last weekend and the center-back will be looking for a solid performance against his old club on Saturday.
With that being said, the defense as a whole has been guilty of individual errors which has meant that the team's last clean sheet in league play was nine games ago, twelve if you count all matches. As I have mentioned in previous previews, a clean sheet, especially in an away game, would be a major positive for the Fire.
Against a team with such attacking threats as Philly, a clean sheet would also give the back line confidence heading into the biggest game of the season to date, the U.S. Open Cup Semifinal against D.C. on Wednesday (TICKETS).
Taking advantage of the diamond system – pressuring Philly in their defensive third
The Union usually use a system similar in some ways to the Fire, deploying only one recognized defensive midfielder. In Philly's case this is stalwart Brian Carroll.
Carroll plays in the "Makelele role," sitting in front of the back four, breaking up attacks and rarely venturing into the opposing team's attacking third. In this system, the assumption is that Carroll will not give up possession or be ahead of the ball in his defensive third.
READ: Mike Magee is the cover boy in the latest edition of MLS Overlap
One way to counter this system is to pressure Carroll and the Philly defenders when they have the ball and try and force turnovers in their defensive third.
We all saw how effective this tactic can be on the Fire's goal last weekend. Patrick Nyarko stole the ball from a Dynamo defender before bursting into the box and crossing to Mike Magee for a tap in finish. A similar turnover on Saturday night could lead to the winning goal for the Fire.
Prediction: 2-0 Fire with goals from Magee and Alex.

After a confidence boosting 4-1 win over D.C. United at Toyota Park last weekend, the Fire fly south to take on the Houston Dynamo at the fortress that is BBVA Compass Stadium Saturday night (LIVE 8pm CT on NBC Sports / La Ley 107.9 FM). Houston beat Premier League side Stoke City 2-0 at midweek and currently occupy the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, a position the Fire is fighting for.
Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Shadowing Andrew Driver – A threat both inside and out
Englishman Andrew Driver has had a stellar debut season in MLS for the Dynamo and his versatility has made him one of the most dangerous wingers in MLS this season.
WATCH: Match Preview: Fire vs. Dynamo
Though naturally left footed, Driver is comfortable playing on either wing and is most dangerous when playing on the right, where he can cut in onto his left foot.
Though not on the level of Brad Davis, Driver's crossing ability and dead ball prowess gives Houston another dimension and makes the Texas team even more threatening on set pieces.
READ: Fire winger Duka a no-go for Houston
When the ball is on the other side of the field, Driver gets into the box to support the forwards and has chipped in with three goals this season.
He's also not afraid to come inside and switch positions with withdrawn striker Giles Barnes who played primarily on the wing in England before being converted by Houston coach Dom Kinnear.
Driver's most recent goal came against D.C. United in May where he won the ball and played it wide to Will Bruin before bursting into the box and receiving a return pass before finishing.
Tracking Driver's runs when he does cut inside will be key on Saturday night.
How to beat the Houston backline – 1v1s and runs off the ball
In last week's match against D.C., the Fire forwards, most notably Chris Rolfe, made some brilliant runs off the ball and were found by great penetrating passes from midfield. Both of Rolfe's goals came from off the ball runs and more of the same will be needed on Saturday.
A weakness of the Houston defense is paying too much attention to the person with the ball and neglecting to pick up the runs from other forwards or midfielders.
In the Dynamo's last league match against New England, they allowed Diego Fagundez to pass the ball to Chad Barrett at the top of the box and pick up a return pass unmarked in the box. But for some better finishing, the Dynamo would've been a goal down.
DOWNLOAD: Chicago Fire Mobile App powered by Cricket Wireless
In the Dynamo's last league loss against the Red Bulls, the killer second goal came when the Houston defense fixated on Thierry Henry, allowing Johnny Steele to make a run into the box unmarked and the Irishman scored after a simple through ball from Henry.
WATCH: Athletico Coaching Corner
Off the ball runs from Rolfe and Mike Magee can open up the Houston defense and it will be up to players like Patrick Nyarko and Joel Lindpere to find the strikers as they did so well last Saturday.
The center midfield battle – who starts for the Fire
In recent weeks, Fire coach Frank Klopas has stuck with the midfield duo of Jeff Larentowicz and Alex to great effect but there are others knocking on the door for a starting spot and Saturday's match could be the perfect time to make a change.
Logan Pause and Daniel Paladini are back from injury and suspension respectively and I believe one could come into the starting lineup in place of Alex.
Houston are a team that have high-energy midfielders such as Adam Moffatt, Boniek Garcia and Ricardo Clark. All three are not afraid to get forward and this will force the Fire's two center midfielders to protect the back line.
With the fluidity of players like Giles Barnes, Driver and Garcia to deal with, a player like Pause or Paladini who are more defensive minded than Alex, may be more suited to deal with the flooded midfield.
Against a team like Houston, you must watch for through balls in behind the defense. A player like Logan Pause, who reads the game so well defensively and is constantly intercepting opposition passes, could be a better fit tactically.
Prediction: 1-1 with the Fire goal coming from Chris Rolfe.

Select shots from the Chicago Fire Season Ticket Holder Meet the Team event.
If you've paid attention to Victor Pineda's story over the last year, you'll know that just making the U.S. U-20 roster was a challenge.
The Fire's original Homegrown player came close to making his competitive debut at the end of 2012 before a meniscus injury sidelined him through much of this year's preseason.
Ever resilient, Pineda recovered in time to join the U.S. U-20s and will hopefully take the field when Tab Ramos' side opens up the FIFA World Youth Championships Friday vs. Spain in Istanbul, Turkey (LIVE 1pm CT on ESPN2).
Yanks Abroad's Brian Sciaretta wrote this excellent piece on Pineda's road to Turkey.
The Men in Red extended their unbeaten streak to six games across all competitions on Wednesday night (4-0-2), coming behind to defeat the Colorado Rapids 2-1. Columbus notched a big win against Montreal last time out and face difficult trips to Kansas City and LA after the Saturday's home game against the Fire.
Here are some things to keep an eye on from a tactical perspective in this big match for both teams (LIVE Saturday 6:30pm CT on My50).
The turnover game - both teams will look to pressure each other's back line
In the Crew's most recent loss to the Union earlier this month, the Ohio team had major problems retaining possession when put under pressure. The Union forwards, especially Jack McInerny, did not allow Columbus time on the ball and the pressure led to Philly getting on the score sheet.
Johnson, Rolfe Preview Columbus
As we know, players like Mike Magee, Chris Rolfe and Patrick Nyarko are excellent at putting pressure on the opponent's defense and this will be important on Saturday night.
On the other side of the coin, the Crew like to deploy the high pressure tactic too, with former Fire player Dominic Oduro often hunting down defenders and not allowing them time on the ball.
READ: Berry recovers from blunder with winning goal vs. Rapids
In the Crew's 2-0 win over the Montreal Impact last weekend, Oduro stole the ball from a Montreal defender before slotting home the Crew's second goal in the 22nd minute.
Fire defender Austin Berry had an unfortunate incident in Wednesday's match against Colorado where he was stripped of the ball allowing rookie Deshorn Brown to give Colorado the lead.
In a game that is expected to be very tight, the team making the least mental mistakes could end up on top.
The battle on the left side - Duka/Lindpere vs Anor
Columbus winger Bernardo Anor won many plaudits for his performance against Montreal last week on his first start back from a horrible ACL injury.
The left-footed Venezuelan started on the right against the Impact and will be looking to build on that performance against the Fire Saturday night.
On the same side of the field, coach Frank Klopas will be choosing between former Crew winger Dilly Duka and veteran Joel Lindpere for the start.
Dan and Kevin Talk Crew
Duka played his best game for the Men in Red against Colorado on Wednesday night as he was able to get in 1v1 situations on numerous occasions and earned the penalty that equalized the match.
Lindpere has yet to fully live up to the high expectations put on him by Fire fans after his move from New York this offseason.
With the team in the middle of a 4 games in 11 day stretch, a start for Lindpere seems plausible.
Getting back into the stating XI in a huge Eastern Conference showdown could be the perfect motivation for Lindpere to put in a man of the match performance on Saturday night.
Dominic Oduro - A striker with a point to prove
With seven goals to his name this season, Dominic Oduro has landed on his feet in Columbus after his trade away from the Windy City. Oduro also seems to have developed into a more complete striker since his move.
The speedy Ghanaian's patience on the ball has resulted in him making better decisions and linking with his midfielders more instead of going alone and trying to score.
What has impressed me about Oduro since the trade is his move away from a reliance on his right foot to a player that is comfortable shooting with both.
READ: The Influence of Jeff Larentowicz
Fire fans will remember Oduro's hot and cold finishing but on his day, he can be unstoppable. The Fire have held Oduro scoreless in two matches already this season but at home, the Ghanaian will be aiming to prove a point and it is up to the Fire defenders to keep him quiet on Saturday night.
Prediction: 2-1 Fire with a brace from midfielder Alex

Earlier Thursday morning I was once again invited back to U.S. Soccer Federation headquarters in downtown Chicago to witness the semifinal round Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup coin flips.
Let me be honest, unlike the previous three rounds, Thursday's process was the simplest I've witnessed.
That's because even before showing up at Soccer House on Thursday morning, U.S. Soccer had already confirmed what the potential semifinal pairings would be earlier this week based on geography.
Combine that with all eight quarterfinal teams applying to host the semifinals, literally all that was needed was to flip the famous bicentennial silver dollar twice.
Still, Competition Secretary Paul Marstaller kept things official, handing out the same formatted paper which clearly listed the matchups and assigned heads and tails.
That sheet looked like this:
|D.C. United/New England Revolution
|Chicago Fire/Orlando City*
|Real Salt Lake/Carolina RailHawks*
|Portland Timbers/FC Dallas
If I can be bold enough to say, every time the Fire have come up in a coin flip, I honestly get this strange excitement in my stomach. The feeling of a simple coin going a long way to deciding your team's tournament fate is a thrilling, if not brief emotion.
TICKETS: Chicago Fire vs. Orlando City Quarterfinal on June 26
Luckily for the Fire, the first coin flip landed tails, meaning the winner of next Wednesday's game vs. Orlando City will host the winnder of D.C. United/New England on August 7. This is the third straight flip the Fire have won after losing the initial third round flip to the Charlotte Eagles.
In the second flip, the coin came up heads, meaning the winner of Real Salt Lake/Carolina RailHawks will host the winner of Portland/FC Dallas. The flip was the fourth consecutive win for RSL in the 2013 U.S. Open Cup.
And that was it.
Only one coin flip remains and that's for the final which will be played in early October. I'm told that will go down at some point in July.
All intentions to host the final were due along with intentions for the semifinal on Wednesday, though U.S. Soccer will likely not make that list public until the final coin flips occur.
I can confirm the Chicago Fire have applied to host the 2013 U.S. Open Cup final.
Earlier 2013 Open Cup Coin Flips:
After a rousing comeback against Portland last time out in the league, the Fire start a busy period Wednesday night against a tricky Colorado Rapids team (LIVE 7pm CT on My50) who just their six-game unbeaten streak snapped at the weekend by San Jose Earthquakes. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective:
Exposing the Rapids center backs: targeting Drew Moor and Marvell Wynne
Colorado's usual starting pair at the center of the defense is Shane O'Neill and Drew Moor but with the Irish-born youngster in Turkey with the US U-20 team, right back Marvell Wynne has slotted into the middle.
FIRE vs. RAPIDS: Tickets Still Available
Against San Jose last week, this pairing had a lot of trouble, especially when the Quakes attacking players separated and isolated the center backs.
The movement of Rolfe and Magee, both very mobile strikers, could open up the Colorado defense. If the Fire's attacking pair can draw Moor/Wynne out, it can lead to space being created behind them, something San Jose did well last weekend.
Keeping an eye on Deshorn Brown - the rookie has 4 assists this season
Similar to my thoughts a few weeks ago about D.C. rookie Kyle Porter, Deshorn Brown has caught my eye for Colorado this season.
Playing on the left of a front three he's dangerous and a good supplier of the ball for striker Edson Buddle. Much of Colorado's chances in the past few matches have come from Brown's side.
Larentowicz, Duka Preview Colorado
The Rapids will be without Atiba Harris after his red against San Jose last week which puts even more emphasis on Brown to step up in the Kittitian's absence.
Right-sided players Jalil Anibaba and Patrick Nyarko will need to be very wary of the rookie on Wednesday night.
Fire squad rotation - my case in for it
The Men in Red have a tough stretch of 4 games in 11 days and it would be very demanding on the players to try and stick with the same starting XI for all four because of a risk of burnout.
A more likely approach would be one of steady and not drastic rotation meaning making a few changes each match and not starting a completely different team. This is of course assuming the team doesn't pick up any injuries or suspensions during this stretch.
READ: Nyarko says next eight day stretch is "crunch time"
Giving a few players a break Wednesday night with one eye on the tough away Eastern Conference match against Columbus on Saturday might be a worthwhile policy for head coach Frank Klopas.
Fire squad rotation - my case against
Something fans have criticized coach Klopas for is sticking to a regular starting XI and not making too many changes from game to game.
That being said, the team is currently unbeaten in four games and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The last 20 minutes against Portland last weekend was the team's best spell all season and if they can continue that form the next few weeks could see us in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals and moving closer to the MLS Cup playoff positions in the East.
With the back line finally stable and the Mike Magee/Chris Rolfe partnership starting to really gel, there is a strong case for coach Klopas to stick with the same XI during this run of games.

Gevo posts net loss; on track for Luverne restart in 2013
April 30, 2013 | Rebecca Coons
Biobased isobutanol firm Gevo (Englewood, CO) reported a net loss of $18.4 million (45 cts/share) for its fiscal first-quarter ended 31 March, compared with a net loss of $19.3 million in the year-ago quarter. Analysts expected the company to post a net loss of 40 cts/share, according to Thomson Reuters (New York). Revenue fell 76.5%, to $3.5 million, reflecting ethanol sales from its Luverne, MN biorefinery in the 2012 quarter. Revenue reported in the first quarter of 2013 included proceeds of $2.4 million from further reduction of Gevo's corn inventory, with...

Volunteer Opportunities | Volo Bog Activity Guide - Primary
Forty-five miles northwest of Chicago in Lake County, Volo Bog is the only quaking bog in Illinois. The bog is a registered National Natural Landmark and a dedicated nature preserve. Picnicking, hiking, and cross country skiing are offered at the site. There is an abundance of unique plants and wildlife that can be seen in Volo Bog.
Volo Bog State Natural Area is home to Illinois' only remaining open-water quaking bog. A gift of the Wisconsin Glacier, Volo Bog began forming in a kettle hole lake over 6,000 years ago. A floating mat of vegetation encroached from the lake edges toward the center. The initial plant community included sphagnum mosses and sedges. As these plants died, they did not decompose but formed a floating substrate of peat from which more plants grew. As the mat thickened, it supported larger plants such as cranberry, leatherleaf and poison sumac. Deciduous tamarack pines gained a foothold as the mat thickened to support their increasing weight. Highbush blueberry, the carnivorous pitcher plant and several orchids also make their home in Volo Bog. Today, five plant communities encircle a half-acre pond like a target. The pond has no true bottom; suspended peat thickens toward the bottom of the old kettle hole 50+ feet below. A 1/2 mile trail including a wooden boardwalk loops through all the stages of bog succession to overlook the center pond.
Volo Bog was designated an Illinois Nature Preserve in 1970 and a National Natural Landmark in 1973. It is an excellent outdoor laboratory and classroom. Interpretive programs are available to most ages (beginning at 4 years old) throughout the year.

Volo Bogs Visitor Center is housed in a turn-of-the-(19th) century dairy barn. The old barn has undergone a series of renovations over the years. It opened to the public as a Visitor Center in 1980 and has since undergone various upgrades and improvements. In November 1996, construction began on the most extensive upgrade yet; a complete renovation. The newly remodeled state-of-the-art building keeps the old-barn charm but is completely accessible (featuring an elevator up the silo) and has a classroom facility to accommodate 80 people. The Tamarack Shop, run by the Friends of Volo Bog, offers gifts and a wonderful selection of nature and environment-related books. The second floor of the Visitor Center is two stories tall and features interpretive exhibits about Volo Bog and wetlands in general as well as a popular interactive discovery center. The Leatherleaf Library houses a wonderful selection of books, magazines, and clippings in a lateral file. Much of the material in the library is donated by visitors, Volo Bog Volunteers and the Friends of Volo Bog. Check-out privileges are extended to Volo Bog Volunteers, and members of the Friends of Volo Bog and The Lake County Astronomical Society.

The research library contains postcards, diaries, ledgers, photographs, plat maps, abstracts, reference books, and biographical obituaries, and cemetery files.
Hands-on exhibits that highlight the history of Lake County. Housed on a former dairy farm in the Lakewood Forest Preserve, over 20,000 objects are rotated on exhibit including horsedrawn vehicles; Native American tools, art, and clothing; farm, household, and light industrial equipment 1840-1975. The Curt Teich Postcard Archives is a national collection of over 350,000 postcard images and illustrates 20th century America. The exhibit "America in a Postcard Mirror" located in the public gallery shows a portion of this collection.

Widowed Mary Nett Miller built the chapel in 1878 in fulfillment of a promise to the Blessed Mother if she could raise her family "in the fear and love of God". Family services and weddings were held here. (This was built on their farm.)
The site of where this present third church (of Gothic architecture) was of importance to the first exclusively German Catholic Community of Johnsburg who recreated their German roots here. The first structure was a log cabin (1842), and subsequently 2 more structures were built on the same site.
The mill, built in 1844, by Cotting and Purdy was 35 x 40', 2 � stories high. It was destroyed by fire in 1925. The plaque is on the site. It was an example of early water-powered, grain and flour mill. It was one of the earliest in the area. It is presently a restaurant.
When Cotting and his wife came to Richmond, which he helped lay out and plat, there were but 2 log cabins in place. This building with stone foundation was across from his mill and probably was a storeroom at one time. This house is thought to be the oldest grame house in Richmond.
Excellent example of a well-to-do merchant's frame home in the Italianate style with an ornate trim including a square cupola. Built in 1865 and was occupied by Cotting until he died in 1883 and in continue family ownership for over 100 years.
This unique home is one of few examples of Second Empire architecture in the area with its mansard roof. It has 7 gables which is an innovative variation of this style. Widow Sarah Gibbs had the house built at the age of 71. Her husband, Herman, was a decendent of a Revolutionary War general and was the town's inn-keeper. The stained glass windows across the street in the church were dedicated to Sarah by her granddaughter.
This turn-of-the-century church is the only original church in Richmond still standing. Beautiful stained glass memorial windows highlight the first settlers and important people of the Village.

The Lives Martin Luther King Touched
By: Legacy.com Staff
9 months ago
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. affected generations of Americans with his struggle for civil rights.
In his honor, we are sharing some of the moments in his life that were also key moments in the lives of others. In fact, these events were important enough that they are included in the obituaries for these individuals who shared a moment in time with Dr. King.
Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Getty Images / Time & Life Pictures / Walter Bennett)
On December 5, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man. That night, the Montgomery Improvement Association was formed and King was elected president. Alice Zelma Harris was there:
Zelma was one of thousands on the evening of December 5, 1955 who gathered at the Holt Street Baptist Church where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called for the protest for the arrest of Mrs. Rosa Parks. Zelma with her 3 young children, participated in the Montgomery Bus Boycott which lasted for 381 days.
In February 1957, King was one of seven black pastors who formed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Rev. E. V. Hill was another of the seven pastors:
Born in Texas, Hill lived in a log cabin with his family. He went on to attend Prairie View A & M University and became pastor of Mt. Corinth Missionary Baptist Church in Houston at 21. While there, he was one of seven black pastors who joined King in forming the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which was to become central to the civil rights struggle. Hill nominated King as president of the conference.
Birmingham was a battleground for the civil rights movement. In the spring of 1963, King was arrested and jailed along with Joe Louis Clemon and others:
Joe Louis Clemon was a foot soldier in the Birmingham civil rights movement. In his senior year at Westfield High School, Joe led a group of students to Dr. Martin Luther King's demonstrations in downtown Birmingham. Assigned to desegregate the all-white restaurant of Holiday Inn Motel, his group was arrested when it non-violently refused to leave the premises without being served. In the spring of 1963, he was jailed for more than two weeks, during which from the same jail Dr. King wrote his legendary Letter from the Birmingham Jail. His "sit-in" conviction was the lead case testing the constitutionality of Alabama's trespass law in the context of the Birmingham demonstrations.
Following his release, King was picked up from jail by James Armstrong:
Mr. Armstrong was active in the Birmingham civil rights movement and school desegregation cases together with the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, and participated as an organizer for the 1963 protests at planning meetings held at the A.G. Gaston Motel. He provided the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a haircut on several occasions, and a pickup ride from the Birmingham jail. Mr. Armstrong was jailed while protesting Jim Crow laws on numerous occasions. He received numerous awards for his community service.
On August 28, 1963, hundreds of thousands of people participated in the March on Washington, where King delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. Sarah Andrews Morrison was in the crowd that day:
During her years in Philadelphia, she joined the Zion Baptist Church under the leadership of Dr. Leon Sullivan, where she was an active volunteer working at various voting polls throughout the Philadelphia community. An advocate for civil rights, Morrison participated in the march on Washington during the civil rights movement. Last September, during a family reunion held in Washington, D.C., she once again visited and toured the historical site and spoke of the many changes in her lifetime for the rights of all people.
March 7, 1965, referred to as "Bloody Sunday", state and local police attacked King and marchers in the Selma to Montgomery march. Peter Flint was among the 600 attacked:
Peter was involved with civil rights & human rights throughout his life. He marched with Dr. Martin Luther King across the bridge from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. His son Norman still remembers photos of him being drug by his feet by white police officers bleeding from the head. This only made him more determined to accomplish his goal. To have equal rights for all.
King gave his last speech, "I've Been to the Mountaintop," on April 3, 1968, the day before his assassination. Rev. Jarrette C. Atkins Sr. was on the rostrum with him, and conducted an informal service for King following his assassination:
Fr. Atkins played an important role of the civil rights movement in the 1960's. As part of his parish assignment in Tennessee, he worked on behalf of the striking sanitation workers of Memphis, Tennessee. This involved daily protest marches and mass meetings that ran far into the night. Fr. Atkins was on the rostrum, very close to Dr. Martin Luther King as he delivered his famous speech, "I have gone to the mountain top," at Mason Temple in Memphis. He described this as one of the most memorable experiences of his life. When Dr. King was assassinated, Fr. Atkins led the planning of and conducted the Memorial Service on the balcony of the Lorraine Hotel in the period of mourning before the formal funeral in Atlanta.
The night of King's assassination, Dr. Louis McDonough was called to the King home:
One of the King children needed Dr. McDonough, the family's pediatrician. "It was Bernice, who was the baby then," said Linda Spivey of Atlanta, a nurse for the doctor for nearly three decades. "Coretta had called. She wanted to get the child attended to. He was the doctor for the King children until they became adults." "He went over and stayed a good long time," said Alice Wight McDonough, his wife of 55 years. I remember he said how sad it was over there."
Charles Franklin Holmes assisted the Memphis sheriff with public relations in the days following King's assassination. Later, he was involved in the trial of James Earl Ray:
Subsequently, he was asked by Sheriff Morris and Criminal Court Judge W. Preston Battle to prepare a plan for seating the many local, national and international media representatives at the trial of James Earl Ray, King's killer. After months of preparation, Ray pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 99 years in prison, where he died. Following the abbreviated trial, author Gerold Frank interviewed Holmes at great length before publishing his definitive book on the case called "An American Death."
On November 3, 1983, President Ronald Reagan established the third Monday of every January as a national holiday in remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As detailed in our earlier blog post, this was due in large part to the lobbying efforts of his widow, Coretta Scott King.
Thank you, Dr. King, for the impact you had on countless lives.
Written by Katie Falzone.

SLU Brand Identity
To reach the vision of becoming the finest Catholic university in the United States, Saint Louis University must establish and differentiate itself with one cohesive, compelling voice. That's why the words and imagery the University uses to present itself are so important.
The following are general guidelines and information about Saint Louis University's brand identity. If you have questions or need assistance developing communications about your program, please contact the Marketing & Communications Department.
"Higher purpose. Greater good."
Embodying the Jesuits' nearly 500-year history of service for the greater glory of God, the phrase "Higher purpose. Greater good." represents SLU's mission to pursue truth and serve humanity. The phrase also touches on all the things that make SLU special - our outstanding academics, faith, service and history.
Ads featuring "Higher purpose. Greater good." began airing in November 2012. The phrase is also featured on most pages of SLU's website. This branding overarches all other campaigns, such as Be a Billiken or sub-brands within the University, such as Billiken Athletics. If you are interested in incorporating elements of the "Higher purpose. Greater good." campaign into your University marketing materials, please contact Mary Ann Grillo, director of University marketing, at (314) 977-7413 or email@example.com.

- Reflective trims
- Rear pockets
How should my 2XU Cycle garments fit?
Your 2XU Cycle tops should fit loosely whilst standing upright in order to facilitate a snug, comfortable fit when stretched out or in the crouched position on the bike. Having said this, your jersey should never 'cut in' uncomfortably to the body. If this is occurring, you should review your size choice.
To achieve optimal aerodynamics through the air, Shorts and Bibs should be neat against the skin with no excess fabric.
For upper body Jerseys, a streamlined fit is ideal; however a free range of movement in the shoulders is essential, as is comfort in the underarms.
A little extra space between you and the garment will also promote breathability and ventilation.
For specific sizing, please refer to our Size Chart below. You will also find some helpful fit-related information in the FAQ section of the website.
Vapor technology utilises 3 unique fabrics; High Fil, High Fil Mesh and High Fil Sub. Each fabric contains these unique product enhancing features:
Cross channeled yarns wick vapour from inner to outer layers
