Halloween—a time for me & my shadow.
Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. – Friedrich Nietzsche
For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. – Paul, Romans 7:19
Halloween is upon us. The name comes from the Old English word for "All Halloweds Eve" – the night before All Saints Day. Those two days make for the perfect chance to explore the best and worst of ourselves. To face our inner monsters and to celebrate the "saints" in our lives who we admire and look up to. In Jungian talk – these are our dark and golden shadows.
A powerful spiritual practice that addresses those parts of us that we're "not so thrilled about" is known as shadow work. According to Jungian psychology, we all have metaphorical masks that we wear and images (our personas) that we seek to put forth in the world for how we'd like to be seen and known for. Yet, the more that we focus on those idealized images, the more we repress and the opposites of whatever our preferred images may be pop up into our lives. If I want to be known as "nice, sensitive person," I stuff and hide away the "mean, insensitive, jerk" parts of me. But the thing is, when we try to minimize those darker shadows, we actually increase and magnify their power. And, unless we do something to own, embrace, and integrate those darker parts of ourselves, they grow and fester until they erupt – sometimes in embarrassing, even career-ending, sorts of ways.
A glaring example of what happens when we fail to admit and embrace our shadow sides is what happened to Ted Haggard in 2006. Haggard was the senior pastor of a mega-church in Colorado Springs, CO and he was the president of the National Evangelical Association. He was forced to resign in utter humiliation when news reports were released about his engaging in extra-marital sex and taking illegal drugs with gay prostitutes in Denver (note: I don't think there's anything wrong with homosexuality, I'm merely stating the facts about that case and to show the staggering extent to which people will repress parts of themselves – even to the point of hypocritically preaching against part of their true selves. While Haggard described this as "giving into his dark side" I would submit that this could better be understood as his golden shadow seeking to see the light of day).
We need to make friends with our shadows and allow them to vent, breathe, exercise, and see the light of day from time to time on our terms under our control. If we don't allow for this, they will speak their piece and they'll do it on their terms.
Shadows thrive on being kept secret so one healthy thing to do is to admit what they are and tell people about them. I know. This seems like it would be the last thing you'd want to do, but shining some light on them and vulnerably talking about them reduces their power considerably – and it may very well endear you to the people you disclose them too. Such sharing shows that you're a fellow human being who is trying to be down to earth and real. Yep, talking about your dark side actually makes you more attractive to people than keeping them hidden. It takes some time and practice to get your mind around this, but it's true.
A sage truth that pastors and psychologists learn (or are at least taught) along the way is, "That which we criticize most in others is that which we struggle with most ourselves" (that concept isn't original to me, though this particular wording of it may be). Hence, a powerful bit of shadow work is to think about the people in your life who irritate you and rub you the wrong way – the people who you simply can't stand. Then, think about how you are like those people – how you share some of the same qualities and tendencies that you loathe in them. What you discover may be most revealing. Consider what you can learn from your shadow(s); what they're trying to tell you; and you can come to see them as a gift – a gift that can help you be a more gracious and effective vessel of God's love in the world.
I'd like to suggest that we keep these things in mind as we put together our Halloween costumes. Instead of just buying some random costume or mask from a store, why not embrace this season as a part of our mental and social health? Why not use it as a time to lift up our shadow sides and bring them to the light of day?
One of the ways to exercise and embrace our darker shadow sides is to create a costume that exemplifies and exaggerates those qualities. For instance, if you tend to want the world to see you as responsible, precise, always in control, and well, perfect, you might do well to throw on a tie-dyed t-shirt, preferably with some fresh oil stains on it from some deep fried onion rings or dripping burger juice, grow out your facial and/or leg hair, mess up the hair on your head, wear your pants on backwards and/or inside out (or at least have some oil on them from changing the oil of your car or some paint from having just attempted to paint a painting of a volcano erupting into the cosmos), tuck a half consumed bottle of Jim Beam in the waist, and wear the same underwear you wore a few days ago (nobody has to know about that detail).
Or if you tend to want folks to perceive you as a prim and proper, goody-two-shoes prude, perhaps donning a pair of lounging slippers, a pipe, and silk robe with a Playboy bunny emblem on it might be what's in order to express the lustful beast that dwells beneath. You may really need to let that freak flag fly a bit.
Or, if you want people to perceive you as a "player" who has more men or women than you know what to do with, perhaps a costume that embraces your inner, modest, socially awkward self who has a fear of intimacy is what would fit the bill. …You get the idea…
Another tack to consider is to think of the sort of person who you can't stand, the sort of person who would drive you bonkers to have to sit next to on a long plane flight and make a list of those qualities that ruffle your feathers. Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, or Glenn Beck come to mind for me. Then, create a mask or costume that personifies those qualities and wear it – all the while reflecting upon how you are like that person. How you demonstrate some of those same tendencies and qualities. Humbling, yes, .. but this little exercise could really be a profound investment in yourself.
Clearly, healthy "shadow management" requires far more than a token lampooning of our shadows once a year on a holiday (a way of dancing out our demons) – but I encourage us to try it. Who knows what sort of inner shifts and liberations might take place as a result? I for one am willing to find out. I'll be the guy in a suit with a sneer on his face in a hunting outfit with a homemade shotgun slung over his shoulder saying, "Trick or Treat Peon!" I might even have some Tea Party brochures or forms to buy stock in Halliburton to give ya in exchange for some candy.
ps. an alternative approach is to revive the practice from the Middle Ages where people would dress up as their favorite saint the night before All Saints Day. For our purposes, we could dress up like someone who we really admire and look up to – as the reason you are drawn to such persons is because you seen in them what you have within you as well – your golden shadow.
Peace, Shalom, Salaam, Namaste, Blessed Be.
p.s. and may brother Ted no longer hide his golden shadow! He is so gifted and talented in so many ways. Thinking the costume he might consider wearing should be simply Divine.

Love this!! I'm reading Eckhart Tolle's- a New Earth… And man.. do I have some work to do, in my awareness… Boy Howdy!! Thanks Rog!
Say folks, it'd be helpful if you could simply comment here instead of doing it on my Facebook page. Thanks!
Dissenting voices are welcome too btw. : )
This seems a much healthier way to deal with this season than to hide from it in fear. Isn't it interesting that we complain about things we see in others that we hate within ourselves? Seems like a good way to take stock of what shadows may lurk within. Will have to think about that costume some more…
The theology of monsters? now THAT is an article I'll need to check out! Thanks for the tip! : )
Hi Roger, I have just been introduced to your posts (read your one on Anne Rice too), but it does seem that you and Beck from Experimental Theology have similar interests and views on culture and faith. He often brings his background in psychology into the discussion as well. If you find his theology of monsters interesting, he has several "theology of…" series –another favorite of mine– his one on calvin and hobbes. I do so appreciate your voice…so refreshing to find others who speak in terms of "I and Thou" rather than I and it. Ciao, Cathryn
I really appreciated this post. Thanks very much. I wrote a blog on the masks we hide behind in Halloween and (W)Holiness, at http://tangerinelizard.blogspot.com if you are interested
Another resource along the same lines, is a amazing book by Tsultrim Allione titled Feeding Your Demons.

[…] But in spite of all that, in the back of my mind, there will always be that other Cynthia–a Jungian shadow in my own mind–and I'm not ready to abandon her just yet. Share […]

Atletico Madrid
With both Jalil Anibaba and Austin Berry in attendance, Atletico fell 2-0 to Real Madrid in a derby match at the Santiago Bernabeu in a derby match Saturday night. The defeat snapped Atletico's five match winning streak across all competitions.
With the result, Atleti stays in second place though third place Real pulls within five points, while Barcelona's 5-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao opens their league-lead to six points.
Already through to the next round of the Europa League, Atletico continue their quest to defend their European crown when they return to the field Thursday to close out Group B play away to Czech side Viktoria Pizen.
The team returns to league action on Sunday when they welcome 19th place Deportivo La Coruna to the Calderon.
Sport Club Internacioncal
Internacional closed out the 2012 Campeanto Brasileiro campaign with a 0-0 draw away to Gremio Sunday.
With the result, Inter finished 10th in the 20-team Serie A with 52 points and will look to regroup ahead of the Gaucho state campaign, which kicks off January 19th against EC Passo Fundo.
Besiktas Istanbul
After league-leading Galatasaray drew 1-1 with Gaziantepspor on Friday night, Besiktas would come within one point of the league leaders using goals from Ibrahim Toraman and Oguzhan Ozyakup to earn a 2-1 come from behind victory away to Orduspor Saturday.
With the win, Besiktas move to 7-3-4 in the Turkish Super League, one point behind joint leaders Galatasaray and Antalyaspor. Samet Aybaba's side will hope to go first when they welcome sixth place Eskiserhispor to the Inonu Stadium on Friday.
Al Ain
Al Ain continued their impressive run at the start of the Emirates Pro-League season, using goals from Asamoah Gyan (13th minute) and Ali Al Wehaibi (61st minute) to down bottom of the table Al Shaab 2-1 on Friday.
The result pushes Al Ain to an 8-1-1 record and top of the table Emirates Pro-League table with 25 points. The club will look to turn their three point advantage to six when they visit second place Baniyas Wednesday.
Raja Casablanca
Much like Al Ain, Raja Casablanca took steps to remain atop the Moroccan Botola Pro League with a 2-1 home win over Khouribga this past Saturday in Marrakech.
With two games in hand, Raja currently sit tied for first on 19 points with cross-town rivals Wydad Casablanca and will hope to take sole possession on Wednesday when the host fifth place Moughreb Tetoun.
The MLS Regular Season Schedule may not yet be out, but the Fire already have three opponents scheduled for next eyar after the Charleston Battery released the match schedule for the 2013 Carolina Challenge Cup.
Participating for the third straight season in one of North America's top preseason tournaments, the Fire will open up the tournament with an MLS Cup playoff re-match with the Houston Dynamo on Saturday, February 16 at 5:00pm ET (4:00pm CT).
See below the full tournament schedule:
Saturday, February 16
Chicago Fire vs. Houston Dynamo, 5 PM/4 PM CT
Charleston Battery vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC, 7:15 PM/6:15 PM CT
Wednesday, February 20
Houston Dynamo vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC, 5 PM/4 PM CT
Charleston Battery vs. Chicago Fire, 7:15 PM/6:15 PM CT
Saturday, Feb 23
Chicago Fire vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC, 5 PM/4 PM CT
Charleston Battery vs. Houston Dynamo, 7:15 PM/6:15 PM CT
If you've never been to the Charleston Battery's home at Blackbaud Stadium, I highly recommend heading south to catch a Fire match and take in the amazing Three Lions Pub. Tickets for the tournament go on sale next Monday, December 3 at 9am CT via www.charlestonbattery.com or by calling (843) 971-GOAL (4625)
Jalil Anibaba and Austin Berry aren't the only Fire representatives at Atletico Madrid.
Earlier today Fire head coach Frank Klopas, assistant Mike Matkovich as well as President of Soccer Operations Javier Leon and Vice President Guillermo Petrei all checked in on how the Fire's young defenders are doing in their training stint.
The group was able to see Anibaba and Berry train with the Atletico first team and even see the pair mark Colombian superstar Falcao during the proceedings.
Afterwards the Fire technical delegation held meetings Atletico CEO Miguel Angel Gil, Academy Director Carlos Aguilera, Marketing and International Development lead, Emilio Gutiérrez as well as Slanisa Jokanovic, the coach of Thai giants Muanghtong United, another member of the Atletico alliance.
When we unveiled the #Fire15 players list in conjunction with the club's 15th anniversary earlier this year, I spoke about how spectacular most of the goals Marco Pappa scored in a Fire uniform were. Off the top of my head, I can think of only three that the Guatemalan scored from inside of the box in his five seasons in Chicago.
Since the Fire Goal of the Year tournament began in 2010, Pappa has always had at least one entry make the final four with the current Heerenveen midfielder getting there with high margin defeats of his early-round opponents.
Ironically enough though, that support seems to wane in later rounds.
In 2010, Pappa's bending strike against San Jose (which went on to win MLS Goal of the Year) was narrowly defeated in the final by Logan Pause's equally stunning long-distance bomb at Toronto.
Last year, Pappa's hat trick clincher at Real Salt Lake (one of his four entries in the tournament that year) fell at the semi-final stage to the now legendary long-distance blast "through the guise of smoke" from Jalil Anibaba in an early round U.S. Open Cup qualifier vs. Colorado.
At the very least, it's an interesting phenomenon.
I say that because having managed the Fire Facebook and Twitter accounts for nearly three years, there is no player that evoked as much consistent response in terms of Likes, Retweets and web traffic then Marco. An update on his play in a friendly with Guatemala, a photo of him from training or even a post about another player would even bring a comment or six about "El Chapin del Fuego".
With Pappa no longer a member of the Fire, this has all died down a bit but how ironic when you consider that his latest defeat came against a player that could take on the mantel of sentimental popularity in 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year Austin Berry.
Berry has barnstormed to today's final, where he's facing down another fan favorite in the team's 2012 MVP Chris Rolfe and his stunning quick kick in little space (9/22 vs. Columbus).
While Rolfe's goal could have been a number one seed (his strike vs. San Jose was), neither of today's finalists were top seeds in their respective brackets. As we learn every November, anyone can win.
As we have when deciding the top 15 players, goals and matches in Fire history or just putting fans on season tickets, we at Chicago-Fire.com feel it most important to utilize fan input and engagement in determining valuable pieces of our club.
Happy voting everyone!
While the Chicago Fire are out of action for a bit, we thought it appropriate to check in to see how the club's worldwide Alliance Partners are doing in their current campaigns. Here's a quick update on their recent results…
Atletico Madrid
With Fire defenders Austin Berry and Jalil Anibaba in attendance, Atletico defeated Sevilla 4-0 on Sunday, with Colombian superstar Falcao scoring his 11th goal in 12 matches. They currently sit second in La Liga with 34 points, three behind league leaders Barcelona.
Atletico take the field again Wednesday in a Copa Del Rey match against Real Jaen and return to league action this weekend for a derby match against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Sport Club Internacional
Sport Club Internacional fell 2-0 to Portuguesa in Campeanto Brasileiro action Sunday. Currently ninth in the Serie A table, Internacional head into their final match of the season with a chance to finish as high as seventh as they visit Gremio on Sunday.
As Internacional look to build for next season, it seems they could do so with Dunga at the helm as the former Brazilian national team captain and head coach reportedly held a meeting with club President Giovanni Luigi Tuesday morning.
Club America
After falling 2-0 in the first leg of the Liga MX Apertura semifinals against Toluca last Wednesday, goals from Miguel Layun and Daniel Montenegro brought Club America level on aggregate at halftime of Sunday's second leg at the Estado Nemesio Diez.
With all to play for in the second half though, Toluca's Edgar Benitez tallied the lone goal in the 59th minute to regain the aggregate lead and eventually send the home side on to the Liga MX final with Club Tijuana.
Al Ain
Nine matches into the Emirates Pro-League season, powerhouse Al Ain sit top of the table with 22 points from nine matches. Last Frieday the side received braces from Ghanaian international Asamoah Gyan and Omar Abdulrahman to earn a 5-2 decision away to Dubai Cultural Sports Club.
Currently sitting with a +26 goal differential, Al Ain welcome 12th places Al Shaab to the Tahnoun Bin Mohamed Stadium on Friday afternoon.
Raja Casablanca
After seeing Saturday's encounter at FAR Rabat postponed, fourth place Raja Casablanca will hope to move further up the Moroccan Botola Pro league table as they welcome 13th place Khourigba to the Stade Mohamed V on Saturday.
It's been exactly 23 days since I last did a Five Things article. Just because there won't be another Fire game until sometime in January doesn't mean this great piece of content can't be repurposed with a little holiday twist... With that, I give you "Five Fire-related Things I'm Thankful For..."
1) MLS Live – In my opinion, perhaps the most significant technological success Major League Soccer has had in 17 seasons. MLS Live is reliable, affordable and provides an absolutely crystal clear picture of up to 230 games that don't involve the Chicago Fire.
While it was great to see the league sign a deal with NBC Sports this past year, with 19 teams now in the league, the peacock, ESPN and Univision networks simply can't carry every game nationally. What's more, the product even got better from 2011 to 2012 providing more interactivity.
Trust me when I say that the Playoff Math pieces that you all loved this fall wouldn't have been accomplished quite as easy without MLS Live. Now if only they can turn the corner on local blackouts...Something to improve upon for next year perhaps?
2) The Chicago Fire PR and Digital Team – My job sort of fits me into both categories but the two sides almost always work hand in hand. There's never an idea too wacky or too out of bounds for us to go after…
Get Logan Pause to eat a million Chewy bars to launch a Quaker jersey? Uh huh.
Pester an MLS owner to change his stadium's flag policy? Sure, why not.
Create a Twitter campaign to beat the Crew in the digital realm? Of course.
Create another campaign to potentially get Pat Nyarko on the All-Star Team? Yup.
Partner with Quaker to help Austin Berry win Rookie of the Year? Did that.
Dress up as eachother to ease tensions ahead of a Halloween playoff game? And that.
Stupidly race Dominic Oduro with a jelly doughnut on the line? Sure.
Risk suffocation by jumping in a large equipment bag for a blog promo? Still can't breathe.
Interviewing a stuffed tiger during for a live blog piece to Columbus? Roar.
The list goes on and on but I just have to say I'm proud to be a part of this team. Thanks Emigdio, Brendan, Eunice, Leo, Nick and all of our trusted interns over the past year.
3) The Chicago Fire First Team – Getting to work with professional athletes on a daily basis is a fan boy's dream. With that said, athletes don't always reciprocate with the same feelings.
That isn't the case with the Fire where there is a true sense of family that emanates from the locker room. From Frank and his staff, to stars like Arne Friedrich, Pavel Pardo and Logan Pause all the way down the roster, these guys are a pleasure to work with.
To all the players and staff, I appreciate your tolerance of a digital recorder often being in your face.
4) Having my own tifo – I've checked with the MLS Team Writer's Union and discovered I'm alone among my counterparts when it comes to having their own dedicated two-pole display. Contrary to popular belief, my favorite song is not Fun's "We Are Young" though I do think it's an appropriate song to be sung at Fire games (just need to work on timing).
To the few fans (you know who you are) that took this from conception, made it a reality and hoisted this as my birthday present from the Section back on July 8, you are truly amazing.
Every time I see the two-pole and hear that song, I get chills, so thank you.
5)Traveling and getting to know Fire supporters – I was able to take in 11 of the team's 18 road matches in person this season. While I was working at some, I was a fan at seven of those games. Those matches provided me a nice release that I don't get to have at Toyota Park -- mainly the opportunity to scream, shout and support the guys I work with on a daily basis.
Beyond just taking a game in, I came to appreciate the camaraderie that is formed by fans on the road. There's something to be said for what a nine-hour bus ride to Toronto or Kansas City to bring folks together.
Even better are the times where the away city is so far away that you are FORCED to spend a night out on the town in a fun city such as Montreal before cramming six people into a tiny hotel room (not to say this ever happened…).
When you work for a club, you don't ever really feel like you're not part of it. However, I've gained even more love for the Chicago Fire by returning to my roots as a fan and getting to better know and understand this club's most ardent supporters. If you can travel away next year, please do!
There are plenty of other things I'm thankful for but you'd be here all day.
Happy Thanksgiving Fire Fans!
I'm a morning person. So when I saw Jalil Anibaba online today, I thought why not see how things have been going through his first few days training at Atletico Madrid. We talk Ja's touring of the training facilities and stadium, how he plans to spend Thanksgiving and his picking up of the Spanish lisp. Enjoy!
Jeff Crandall: How has your training stint gone so far?
Jalil Anibaba: It's been going really well. I'm having a great time out here and I'm really loving the experience so far. The training facilities are top class. It's separate from the stadium which is in the city itself. Amazing grass and turf fields and really everything you could need for training.
JC: Who are you training with?
JA: I'm training with the B team. The first day we scrimmaged the first team. They provided good competition and a great experience. It is rewarding to be able to measure yourself against guys that have proven success in winning the Europa League last season.
JC: Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday, so how do you plan to celebrate it there in Spain tomorrow?
JA: Of course I'm American at heart and unfortunately I'm away from home and my family over Thanksgiving. I'm probably going to Skype in with the family before they eat dinner and say hello. That'll do for me.
JC: Have you been able to get into the city yet?
JA: Yeah, some of the representatives from the club took me into the city. I got to see their stadium and museum, the locker room and all their facilities. It was a great experience.
JC: Have you had paella yet?
JA: I haven't had paella in Spain yet but I've had it lots of times because my stepmother's mom is from Spain actually. She cooks it for us all the time. Spanish food is really nothing new to me to be honest.
JC: How is your Spanish? Are you speaking with a lisp yet?
JA: My Spanish is okay. I can speak a bit and I know enough to get by when I need to. The lisp throws me off but you have to adapt!
JC: What have you been doing with your down time?
JA: I've treated my down time as seriously as I do back in Chicago. Making sure I get enough rest in between sessions is the primary focus. However, if situations permit, I will explore. Like I said earlier, I got the chance to tour their stadium and all their facilities and that was amazing. From what I've seen, the city of Madrid is beautiful to say the very least.
JC: How have the players received you? Have they talked to you about what MLS is like?
JA: The other players have been great. They have received me well and they treat me with respect and kindness. Many are curious about MLS and how much the league has grown in recent years. From what I have experienced thus far, it's safe to say our league's growth has expanded beyond our shores and people around the world are becoming more aware of what we are doing in the US.
JC: Any chance you'll be able to take in a first team game?
JA: Yeah it's looking like I'll be able to see a few. I think definitely their game against Sevilla on the weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing them play live and just the atmosphere to see how everything compares. When you watch teams play on television from a thousand miles away, you don't get the experience firsthand so being here will be tremendous.
JC: On Monday Austin Berry was named Rookie of the Year and Logan Pause won the Fair Play award. What is your reaction to having your teammates be recognized?
JA: I think it's a tribute to how amazing our season was. Obviously we didn't finish like we would have hoped but there's definitely a silver lining to be found within our season. Austin is definitely a part of that – he had an amazing season as a rookie and we're all very happy for him. It's very deserving because he stepped in and contributed at a time where we needed him and never let go of his spot.
As far as Logan is concerned, winning the Fair Play award epitomizes him as a person and as a class player and captain. I feel like he does a lot of dirty work and it doesn't always get noticed. His approach to the game is tremendous and I'm very pleased that he was acknowledged for it.
JC: You're going to be in Madrid until December 2 and then preseason begins again in mid-January… Are you feeling like you need a little rest?
JA: I feel great. My body feels great and I'm just trying to push myself and become a better professional every day.
JC: What are you doing once you get back stateside?
JA: I'm going to stop off in Chicago for a little bit and then head back home to California to see the family. As far as training is concerned, I'll speak with Tony [Jouaux] about exactly the best way to go about staying fit but also getting some rest.
JC: Thanks for your time Jalil! We'll check back in with you next week!
JA: Sounds good! Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone!
In the latest edition of Quaker Journeys, we sat down with Chicago Fire defender Austin Berry to his development from an all-sport athlete in Cincinnati, to a focus on the beautiful game at the University of Louisville to becoming the 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year with the Chicago Fire.
Be sure to check out our previous Quaker Journey with Patrick Nyarko (Part 1 and Part 2).
Matt Steichen works as a Firestarter to pump up the crowd before and during halftime of Fire home games games. When he's not showing his Fire pride at Toyota Park, the St. Charles, Ill. native has been working on an amibitious project with his father Craig to visit all 32 NFL stadiums in 17 weeks.
The ultimate fan boy's dream right?
Not so fast, the father and son team provided another twist to the project, electing to take members of the Wounded Warriors to each NFL stadium they visit.
Check out the video below from Rick Reilly's Tour of Duty on ESPN and then give Matth and Craig a little applause...
When Austin Berry was officially declared the 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year, the Cincinnati, Ohio native became the third player in Fire history to win the award. Previously won by Carlos Bocanegra in 2000 and Damani Ralph in 2003, the Fire now hold the most Rookie of the Year honors in MLS history.
Here's a look at the Fire's three Rookie of the Year winners.
Carlos Bocanegra - 2000
The Fire selected Carlos Bocanegra with the fourth pick in the 2000 MLS SuperDraft after a stellar collegiate career at UCLA. In his rookie season, Bocanegra started all 27 regular season matches in which he appeared, scoring one goal and adding one assist as the Fire reached MLS Cup, where they fell 1-0 to the Kansas City Wizards. A week later, the Fire defeated the Miami Fusion 2-1, winning the club's second Open Cup trophy in just two seasons, though Bocanegra was unable to play after seeing red in the semifinal.
Following his rookie season, Bocanegra was named the 2002 and 2003 MLS Defender of the Year while also making the MLS Best XI both years. He was twice named the club's Defender of the Year in 2000 and 2003.
After four seasons in which he appeared in 87 regular season matches, Bocanegra made the move overseas and signed with English Premier League Side Fulham FC prior to the 2004 season.
Bocanegra spent four years with the Cottagers, appearing in over 100 matches and scoring eight goals. He then went on to play in France's Ligue 1 with Rennes and Saint-Étienne before moving to storied Scottish side Rangers FC.
Bocanegra earned his first cap for the U.S. Men's National Team on Dec. 9, 2001 and has since made 109 appearances for the Yanks. A two-time FIFA World Cup veteran, Alta Loma, Calif. native captained the 2010 U.S. squad that won their group for the first time since 1930. Though he picked up a hamstring injury in the recent friendly in Russia, Bocanegra is expected to return in time to lead the U.S. into the final round of 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifying on Feb. 6.
Now plying his trade with Spanish Segunda División side Racing Santander, Bocanegra recently started a multi-sport training center in southern California called CB3, which this year held its first MLS pre-combine training program that focused on soccer-specific speed and agility training. All four players that trained at CB3 prior to the MLS Combine were selected in the SuperDraft, including this year's Rookie of the Year honoree, Austin Berry.
Damani Ralph - 2003
In 2003 the Fire selected MAC Hermann trophy finalist Damani Ralph out of the University of Connecticut with the 18th pick (second round) of the MLS SuperDraft.
In his first season with the Men in Red, the Jamaican international set the MLS Rookie record for goals in a season with 11 and tallied six assists while also picking up MLS Goal of the Year honors. The Fire would go on to win the 2003 Supporters' Shield and reach the MLS Cup Final, where the Men in Red fell 4-2 to the San Jose Earthquakes.
His sophomore season proved that it wasn't beginner's luck, as he posted similarly impressive stats, again scoring 11 goals and adding three assists in 26 matches.
After two seasons with the Fire, Ralph transferred to Russian Premier League Side FC Rubin Kazan, where he went on to appear in 25 games, scoring two goals in three seasons.
Ralph made his international debut for Jamaica in 2002, earning 18 caps and scoring one goal for the Reggae Boyz.
Unfortunately his career was prematurely ended by a series of knee injuries. Ralph returned to school where he finished his degree in Economics from the University of Connecticut. The 2003 MLS Rookie of the Year is now working as a sports agent, where he is able to stay connected to the game while utilizing his experiences as a player to bridge the gap between young Jamaican players who are looking to make the jump to MLS.
Austin Berry - 2012
Selected in the first round (ninth overall) of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft, the former Fire PDL player joined the Men in Red after a standout collegiate career. After overcoming a broken leg in 2009, Berry led the University of Louisville to the 2010 NCAA Men's College Cup championship match and was named 2010 BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year.
Berry made his first game-day lineup March 24 and made his professional debut May 4 when he started against Chivas USA. Minutes after giving up a penalty kick, Berry maintained his composure and got on the end of a ball from Sebastian Grazzini, becoming just the third rookie in Fire history and the first since 1998 to score in a debut MLS appearance.
Since his debut, Berry played every minute of his 28 consecutive MLS Regular Season appearances, breaking the record of consecutive starts by a Fire rookie, previously held by Bocanegra. Berry anchored the Fire defense that held opponents to just 41 goals as the Men in Red went 17-11-6, qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since 2009.
A hard-nosed, blue collared player, Berry is sure to catch Jurgen Klinsmann's eye and figure into the U.S. Men's National Team picture in the coming years.

CANTON Joseph C. Lugo told Louisiana police he was on a journey.
His face sunburned and his blonde hair burnished from weeks under Southern skies, the second suspect in a Nov. 17 ATM heist at St. Lawrence Universitys Brewer Bookstore quietly surrendered to police outside a restaurant in Abbeville, La., on Monday afternoon.
I think he may have had a motorcycle at some point in there, Maj. Darryl LeBlanc of the Vermilion Parish Sheriffs Office said, adding that the 24-year-old DeKalb resident either lost or crashed the bike before reportedly making his way from Florida to Louisiana on foot.
And while the story of Mr. Lugos odyssey over nearly three months has yet to be fully revealed, interim Canton Police Chief Victor N. Rycroft also said officials arent sure whether he still has any of the money from the stolen North Country Savings Bank automated teller machine, but we dont think so.
I think the only things he had were the clothes on his back and a Bible, Maj. LeBlanc said.
Mr. Lugo was arrested under two New York warrants on charges of grand larceny and second-degree criminal mischief. He remained in custody Tuesday at the Vermilion Parish Correctional Center, Abbeville, with an extradition hearing set for Thursday. If he waives any objection, Mr. Lugo soon after would be returned to New York. If not, officials here would have to ask Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos office to formally request Mr. Lugos extradition, a process that could take at least 30 days, Louisiana officials said.
Mr. Lugo and a second suspect, Brandon D. Crandall, 21, of Canton, allegedly entered the bookstore vestibule at 92 Park St., wrenching the 265-pound ATM from the floor and severing its cables before hauling the machine out the front door and driving off in a pickup truck. The electronic cash dispenser had been loaded with $35,000 in $20 bills not long before the theft.
Mr. Crandall was arrested days later, and investigators recovered $17,600 in cash, a pound of marijuana and miscellaneous drug paraphernalia.
Police said they believed Mr. Lugo had the rest of the money. They also said he may have been armed, and may have fled the area on a motorcycle, with tips pointing Canton police toward Florida.
It sounds as if they were right, except that Mr. Lugo didnt stay in the Sunshine State. If indeed he did walk to Louisiana, he would have faced a trek of more than 300 miles just from the western edge of Florida to Abbeville.
He was arrested following a tip to Vermilion Parish deputies about a suspicious person seen loitering near a local business. Maj. LeBlanc said deputies responding to the call found Mr. Lugo in the passenger seat of an SUV in a restaurant parking lot, but details about that vehicle were not available Tuesday afternoon.
Upon interviewing Lugo, he stated that he was in fact from upstate New York and was on a journey, first traveling to Florida on his motorcycle and then walking along the Interstate with no particular destination, Vermilion Parish Sheriff Mike Couvillon said in a press release.

Miracles and The Uniformity of Nature.
Steve continues: "The real dilemma is for the unbeliever. In order to exclude the miraculous, he must appeal to an iron-clad regime of natural law. But from a secular standpoint, he is unable to justify natural law, for he is unable to justify induction, which forms the basis of this covering law. The only principled way to ground natural law is by invoking divine creation and providence. But once you make that move, you have a God who is able and willing, under some circumstances, to perform a miracle."
Let me rephrase this argument of his: "Since I cannot prove with certainty that the future will resemble the past, I have no justification for accepting the principle of induction and of natural law which forms my basis for rejecting claims of the miraculous. Therefore I cannot exclude the possibility of miracles. The only way to justify natural law is by God's providence, which also at the same time allows for miracles."
But think on the following for a minute: what kind of justification is needed for anyone to believe something? I believe in the uniformity of nature and that the future will resemble the past because every experience I have ever had justifies this belief. Any experiment or any job I ever performed supported my belief in the uniformity of nature, of induction and in natural law. What else do I need?
Do I need to be certain of that which I believe and/or can justify? I think that's what he asks of me. If I don't need to be certain of what I justify then there's no problem, for I can justify most all of my beliefs. But if I/we must be certain of what I/we justify, then no one has a sufficient justification for believing anything--NO ONE!
What kind of justification is needed to believe your spouse loves you? Do you need some ultimate standard…proof…certainty, and lacking that, you wake up every morning suspicious and view him or her as untrustworthy? What kind of justification do you need that your computer will work when you turn it on in order for you to risk turning it on? What kind of justification do you need that your cell phone will work before you risk turning it on? What kind of justification do you need that your car will work before you risk turning it on and driving it?
When it comes to whether of not I'm absolutely certain the future will resemble the past, I'm not. But I'm not absolutely certain I'm actually even responding to one of my critics, either. Maybe I live in my very own inner world in some coma-like dream state where I am pounding on my computer to answer a critic who doesn't exist. So, what!? No one can be certain, absolutely certain of anything, much less that it can be believed with certainty that the God espoused by my critic exists. And if this God cannot be believed with certainty to exist, then I do not need to be certain about the laws of nature, of induction, and the uniformity of nature either before I act in acordance to those beliefs.
All I said was this: "When it comes to believing in miracles, Christians have a double burden of proof." "On the one hand, they must show that a particular 'event' was not very likely." This they must do. It means nothing for the Christian faith if a natural event takes place and is used to show Christianity is true. It must be an event that cannot be explained by natural causes. Actually, I claim something even stronger. It must be an event that requires a supernatural explanation. Anything less doesn't show much of anything except to the gullible.
Then I said this: "On the other hand, Christians must show that the purported miraculous event happened. And yet, everything they say to establish the first burden of proof takes away the strength of the second burden of proof. That is, the more they argue that an event was miraculous, the less likely such an event occurred. But the more they argue that an event was likely to have occurred, then the less likely that event can be understood as miraculous."
Neither Hume nor I stated that miracles cannot happen. But for a miracle to take place, as far as my whole experience in this life goes, this is about as likely as that the future will be found out to NOT resemble the past. Sure, what I believe here might prove in the end to be false. But I can only judge the future based on the present (and this goes for the past too; I can only judge the past from the standpoint of the present). To ask me to do otherwise is to ask me to suspend my judgment.

The latest on R.A. Dickey
Jim Bowden of Sirius XM says, while negotiations on a contract extension with R.A. Dickey are moving at a "snails pace," the Mets are willing to improve their offer.
Meanwhile, a team insider told Andy Martino of the Daily News that, though a deal isn't close at the moment, contract talks between R.A. Dickey and the Mets "could heat up soon."
Earlier today, MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone said the two sides are considering a meeting in Nashville next week, with all key parties present, at which point the situation could hopefully reach a conclusion, assuming any last minute efforts to trade him fall short. Right now, people in baseball tell Cerrone the Mets can probably lock up Dickey for the next three years at around $25 million.
That said, as of now there are so such plans a meeting in Nashville, though Dickey is willing to do so if needed, Brian Costa of the Wall Street Journal said on Twitter.
According to TV Rage, Dickey is scheduled to be a guest on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show in New York next Tuesday, which is Day 2 of the Winter Meetings.

I arrived about 1 AM at a tiny family-run inn by the river. I was meeting a local guide (see Jack's website) at 5 AM, so I didn't get a lot of what I would call "quality sleep". Anyway, I got up very early and went downstairs in pitch black. There seemed to be a big white cloth box I had to go around to find the front door. My guide was outside. The door was locked and we could not figure out how to get it open. Everyone at the little inn was sound asleep and I was totally confused. Then, from inside the big white box, a body flew out of it! There was a 60-year-old Chinese guy inside that was sleeping until I woke him up with all my lock-manipulations. His naked limbs in the white sheets scared the bejeezus out of me and woke me right up!
And then we were on the river about 5:15. It was still completely dark outside. And I mean COMPLETELY DARK. It was a thin bamboo raft with an outboard motor.
I turned around to ask my guide, "How the heck does the boat driver know where he is going?!?"
He calmly said, "Oh, no worry. The river is very wide."
I not-calmly said, "Well, that's great and everything, but I can't even see the edge to the river!"
He calmly said, "But it is so wide."
This line of questioning was not getting me anywhere, so I just decided to sit back and enjoy my possible last moments on Earth. Then the sun started to rise, and we moved the boat over to the best bank for the angle.
Want to hear something amazing about these fishermen? You won't believe it... but maybe others can confirm this! The fishermen use these two trained cormorant birds that have their throats tied. The birds dive into the water, eat a fish, but then can't swallow it because of the rope. The fisherman rudely pulls the fish from the bird's throat and drops it into that basket behind him. The bird then goes over to a tiny keyboard and sends out the tweet, "WTF".

His particular areas of interest are in minimally-invasive approaches to the treatment of Crohns patients, as well as the ileo-anal J-pouch operation for patients with colitis and Familial Adenomatous Polyposis. Dr. Hodin also serves as the Chief of the MGH Endocrine Surgery Unit, the highest volume center in the country focused on surgery of the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. His particular areas of clinical expertise are in the treatment of advanced thyroid cancer, minimally-invasive parathyroidectomy, and the surgical treatment of adrenal tumors. In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Hodin runs a highly productive research program focused on gut mucosal defense. His research laboratory has enjoyed extensive funding from the NIH and other sources since 1993 and has made important advances to our understanding of how humans interact with the bacteria within our intestine. His research group has identified several novel treatment strategies designed to prevent and/or treat a variety of intestinal diseases.
The Laboratory of Gastrointestinal Epithelial Biology
Principal Investigator: Richard A. Hodin, MD
The Laboratory of Gastrointestinal Epithelial Biology works to unravel the molecular mechanisms that underlie the processes of growth and differentiation within intestinal epithelia, focusing on gut mucosal defense and how the host interacts with the intestinal microbiota..
The small intestine is lined by a simple columnar epithelium in which pluripotent, proliferating crypt cells (stem cells) give rise to four distinct lineages of differentiated cells, including enterocytes (95%), goblet, and enteroendocrine cells on the villi, and paneth cells at the crypt base. The various projects ongoing in the lab relate to understanding the differentiation process in the contexts of (1) normal development, (2) homeostasis within the adult, (3) pathological conditions such as starvation, cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease. Presently, we are focused on defining the mechanisms that govern gut mucosal defense and the interplay between the host and the intestinal microflora.
THE MGH DEPARTMENT OF SURGERY has announced that Richard Hodin, MD, has been appointed as chief for Academic Affairs. In his new role, Hodin – who also will continue in his roles as chief of Endocrine Surgery and surgical director of the MGH Crohn's and Colitis Center – will be actively involved in faculty development and academic promotions and will join the leadership of the department on the Chiefs' Council.
An enzyme that keeps intestinal bacteria out of the bloodstream may also play an important role in maintaining the normal microbial population of the gastrointestinal system.
Feeding an intestinal enzyme to mice kept on a high-fat diet appears to prevent the development of metabolic syndrome – a group of symptoms associated with type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and fatty liver – and to reduce symptoms in mice that already had the condition.
MGH investigators have identified the mechanism by which an enzyme produced in the intestinal lining helps to maintain a healthy population of gastrointestinal microbes.

Roadrunner & Artist News
An Interview With Sean, Five Pointe O
Posted on February 12, 2008As it just so happens, Five Pointe O is playing their debut New York City show this evening (8th), at Irving Plaza, no less. Also, for the first time, the band came by the Roadrunner NY office. Appropriately enough, they shook down bassist Sean Pavey for a little Q & A. Check it out, some pretty good stuff here, including a 'flip off' from the King himself:
Roadrunner: So, the 1st NYC show ever for Five Pointe O, looking forward to it?
Sean: Yeah, real excited, been waiting for this for a long time.
Roadrunner: Nice, nice. You guys have been on tour basically since February 20th. In that time, what moment sticks out the most?
Sean: It's kind of hard to remember anything on the road, it goes by real quick...but probably...yes, we got a chance to meet Kerry King in Corona, CA...though he didn't talk to us much, just said 'hi' and walked by. He did flick me off later that night. He was sitting with Matt from Chimaira on the balcony of the venue. I told Matt we were leaving, Matt questioned "already"? That was when Kerry flicked me off. "Holy shit, I just got flicked off by Kerry King," I said to myself. Not much left to accomplish now.
Roadrunner: Ha! For those of you who do not know, when we speak of Kerry King, we are speaking of Slayer's Kerry King. Back to the road, how about the longest drive?
Sean: Actually, right after Kerry King flicked me off, we had to drive from Corona (outside LA) to Joliet (Chicago). Drove straight through, except for gas and food, about a 30 hour drive.
Roadrunner: And you were riding in?
Sean: Sixteen passenger van. But we did have a mattress in the back, so a little room to sleep. Roadrunner: Nothing but the best...And you slept?
Sean: Slept about six of the thirty hours.
Roadrunner: How about your longest sleep on the road?
Sean: I've never really slept that much on the road, but when I get home, that is when it happens. Last time back home for a break, I slept for 22 hours straight. When I woke up the next day, I felt great. A state of euphoria.
Roadrunner: How about eating habits on the road?
Sean: Daniel (vocals) and Sharon (guitar) like Subway a lot, freak out when we see one. But most of the time it's truck stops, cold sandwiches. Sometimes Burger King or Taco Bell. We try to eat healthy.
Roadrunner: Sounds great.
Sean: But, you can't shit on the bus, and half the time can't shit in the club because it's already filled. So, bathroom is a bit of a problem on the road. I, personally, am eating less to shit less.
Roadrunner: Recording your debut Untitled, the toughest song for you?
Sean: Ahhh no, studio went smooth. I actually did all my bass tracks in two days. The gods of bass came down and blessed me with the power for a few hours.
Roadrunner: And what did you do with the rest of the month you spent in El Paso?
Sean: Played pool and drank. Got really good at pool.
Roadrunner: And drinking?
Sean: Not quite there, yet. Roadrunner: On the road, do you find you drink every night?
Sean: Lately, yeah...we're not a big party band, but ever since this 2nd half of this Mushroomhead tour, we've been drinking a bit too much. Now that Lamb of God is not on the bill anymore...they used to drink all the beer, but now there is plenty left for the rest of us! A bit too much.
Roadrunner: Twas checking out the Behind The Music on Ozzy last night. Would there happen to be any hidden messages on Untitled?
Sean: Subliminal? Roadrunner: Yep...and I'm the one asking the questions here...
Sean: You have to listen to it and find out if you start acting strangely. We're not responsible for any unusual behavior after listening to our album.
Roadrunner: Last cd purchased? Sean: Last cd I bought? Shit, Shit, Shit...oh, Ramones, Anthology.
Roadrunner: Last cd for free?
Sean: Ahhh, let me look in this bag here (filled up on music whilst in Roadrunner office), Killswitch Engage. Awesome cd. I was a fan of their's before Roadrunner signed them. I might be mistaken, but I think it was Dallas from God Forbid that said this is the best metalcore album...and I probably have to agree with him.
at this point Sharon (guitar) walks by, "talkin' more shit about us online," she asks with a laugh?
Roadrunner: Band that got you into music?
Sean: ahhhh...ahh...ah...
Roadrunner: Thank God this isn't being videotaped...
Sean: Probably Nirvana. Nirvana and Metallica
"Right On," Sharon chimes in, as her and Sean slap hands.
Roadrunner: All right, one last question and we'll let ya get ready for tonight's show, is 5.0 a font or a Mustang model?
Sean: A what or a Mustang?
Roadrunner: A font or a Mustang model.
Sean: Ha! It's a Mustang model. We're all about rock, hot women, and fast cars. None of us drive a Mustang, but we all wish we did. It was either call us Five Pointe O or Raw Horsepower...but Five Pointe O was a bit catchier. The rest of the hippies in the band say it's a spiritual thing, but it's really about rock and cars.
O of course, Sean's answer to the last question was purely said in jest.
Roadrunner: Ha...that's good. Quick.
We'd like to think Sean for his time, and wish him and his band the best of luck tonight, and throughout the rest of their touring travels.
