As an organization, the Fire recognizes that Twitter is one of the most import social communication platforms it can use to engage with supporters.
The official Fire account (@ChicagoFire) is used to connect with fans, generate awareness, highlight promotions, or just informing fans in a real-time manner, i.e., news, weather and traffic alerts. To broaden the discussion around the club and create deeper engagement with supporters, Chicago Fire Chief Operating Officer Atul Khosla (AK) will be joining the conversation.
Beginning today, you're invited to follow AK at @atulkhosla. While it will be impossible for him to engage and respond to every question (he does have a day job), you can expect AK to listen, answer questions, offer some behind-the-scenes access as well as his point of view about the business direction of the club, MLS overall, and the vision for the future.
He can also discuss the finer intricacies of the dining in Bucktown, Badger football, and things that rhyme with coleslaw.
If you saw this week's MLS save of the week nomination earler, you may have noticed something weird.
Helper to the 'keeper/forward, Chris Rolfe is up for his line clearing header that "saved the day". (VOTE HERE)
But let's not forget that "The Milkman" delivered too.
Sean Johnson made three big saves on Saturday night, and none more stellar than his point blank stop on Justin Mapp in the 39th minute of play. (watch above)
For his performance, MLSsoccer.com has named Sean to the Team of the Week, proving once again that they don't call him "The Milkman" for nothin'!
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.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- The #cf97 hashtag exploded on Twitter Thursday night with news that Uruguayan international midfielder Arévalo Rios was headed to the Chicago Fire.
Where would the international spot come from?
Fire President of Soccer Operations Javier Leon has been public about the club seeking a loan for Dutch forward Sherjill MacDonald.
Italian back-up goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi is reportedly close to securing a green card.
Should those two moves occur, the Fire would free up two of their six current international spots, making way for the veteran of Uruguay's 2010 World Cup squad to be added to the roster.
More to come on Rios' Windy City arrival later on Chicago-Fire.com.
After a lackluster performance in the U.S. Open Cup semifinal loss earlier this week, the Fire must pick themselves up for Saturday's crucial Eastern Conference match against Montreal on Saturday evening at Toyota Park (LIVE 7pm CT on My50). The Impact are still sitting pretty in third place in the East and also played at midweek, beating San Jose 1-0 in CONCACAF Champions League play.
Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Starting stronger – better tempo from the Fire
Jeff Larentowicz summed up the game against D.C. well when asked how it compared to the 4-1 loss against the same opponent just weeks ago. He astutely observed, "The difference between this game and the last time we played them is that we scored early."
This might sound overly simplistic, but an early goal and a good start is extremely important.
In Wednesday's match, the team were positive in the opening exchanges but then allowed D.C. to set the tempo. Against Montreal this weekend, the Fire must come out of the gates quickly and play a very high-tempo game.
In Montreal's last game against D.C., the Red and Black had a very good opening 30 minutes and created a lot of chances. D.C.'s high-tempo start clearly caught Montreal off guard and it took the Canadian team a while to find their rhythm.
The Fire had a great start against Philly last weekend, scoring in the ninth minute. A repeat of that could put the Fire on course to picking up three more precious points Saturday night.
Attacking Montreal on the outside – wide play important
Against D.C. last weekend, Montreal looked vulnerable in the wide areas, especially when United got their wingbacks forward.
WATCH: Athletico Coaching Corner
The Fire are very good at allowing Gonzalo Segares and Jalil Anibaba to get forward and help in the attack, especially at home. I look for this to happen as often as possible against the Impact.
The advancement of the wing-backs also allows the Fire wingers to come into the middle and provide support to the strikers.
With the potential absence to Patrick Nyarko after Wednesday's head injury, the team will be relying on Joel Lindpere and Dilly Duka to have big games Saturday night.
Keeping an eye on Justin Mapp – former Fire player finding his groove in Canada
Like Dominic Oduro, many Chicago Fire fans are torn over former winger Justin Mapp. He is certainly one of the most frustrating players to ever wear the badge but his skill and talent was there for all to see.
After leaving the Fire, Mapp had two quiet years in Philly but has flourished in Montreal's 4-3-3 system, playing in one of the advanced wide positions, tallying two goals and four assists for the Impact this season.
Mapp is comfortable on both wings and is a very good crosser of the ball. He also likes to cut inside from the wing and combine with Patrice Bernier, Davy Arnaud and Felipe.
Though he might not be the fastest player on the field, Mapp is also very dangerous in the open field, often starting counter attacks for the Impact or looking for through balls to Marco Di Vaio.
Fire fans will also remember that the 28-year-old is very good in 1v1 situations and it will be up to players like Alex and Larentowicz to support the outside defenders and double team him whenever possible.
Mapp is not a physical player and can sometimes be "kicked" out of a game. Limiting the amount of time he has on the ball will be important for the Fire and a physical approach might be the answer.
Prediction: 1-0 Fire with a goal from Joel Lindpere.

The Fire head back to Toyota Park Wednesday night for the biggest game of the season to date, a U.S. Open Cup semifinal against D.C. United. Both teams enter the game on the back of wins and knowing they are only 180 minutes away from a CONCACAF Champions League place.
With that in mind, league form goes out the window. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Slowing down D.C.'s new attack – avoiding the Silva/DeRo red herring
United Coach Ben Olsen has used the 4-4-1-1 formation for most of this season but due to a number of factors, namely not scoring many goals and a numerous injuries, he is constantly changing his front two.
In last week's match against Montreal, D.C. started Dwayne DeRosario and Luis Silva to great effect with both players' movement caused Montreal problems, especially in the first 30 minutes.
Both took turns holding the line while the other dropped deep, making it difficult for the Impact to track. With Silva scoring three goals in his last three matches, it is easy to claim that both he and DeRo are the major threats to the Fire tonight, but that argument is too simplistic.
In reality, both strikers have benefited greatly from some fantastic play from both the wide men and outside defenders in recent matches. Montreal's lack of high pressure allowed D.C.'s outside defenders to act as auxiliary wingers at times, putting dangerous crosses into the Impact's box.
With the defenders pushing up high, the wide midfielders were able to tuck inside and support the strikers in the box or pick up great positions just outside it.
For the Fire to be successful tonight, the team must not allow D.C.'s outside defenders to get forward as often as Montreal did. To do this requires a combination of high pressure from forwards such as Mike Magee and Chris Rolfe as well as positive attacking play from the outside mids, which will force D.C.'s defenders to stay back.
Minimizing set pieces – not allowing DC any unearned opportunities
In a cup semifinal, one mistake, or one brilliant piece of skill, can define the outcome. Countless knockout matches have been decided this way and it always leaves the losing team asking why they allowed an avoidable goal to be scored against them.
WATCH: Athletico Coaching Corner
Playing as the away team and knowing the Fire's strengths on the counter attack, D.C. will not be flooding players forward needlessly in tonight's match. When set pieces present themselves however, the Black and Red will be looking to profit.
In the Fire's last match against Philly, the team played very well defensively but again failed to keep a clean sheet. The Union goal came from a needlessly given up free kick resulting in the ball being bundled over the line.
Fire players must not rush into tackles and need to try and avoid giving up corners whenever possible. D.C. may be lacking in goals this season but giving up a set piece when DeRo is on the field could decide the match in D.C.'s favor.
Quick transitions to the attack – by any means possible
In recent tactical previews, I have lauded Patrick Nyarko for consistently pressuring defenders in the Fire's offensive third of the pitch and forcing turnovers.
In last weekend's match against Philly, Paddy did it again, winning the ball and bursting forward before dishing to Mike Magee who smashed in the winner.
Last weekend's match also demonstrated how quick transitions can come from all areas of the pitch.
Goalkeeper Sean Johnson constantly looked to distribute the ball quickly and launch an attack through his kicking. Whenever Johnson collected the ball from a cross or shot, he looked for outlet runs and was able to pick out those of Rolfe, Magee and co. with his long kicks.
Supersub Quincy Amarikwa also demonstrated how pressuring defenders on long balls can result in turnovers. Late in the game, he challenged Amobi Okugo in the air before stalking the center back and forcing a turnover just outside the Philly box.
But for some better finishing, the Fire would've scored a third goal and effectively ended the match. A quick turnover from a player like Nyarko or an accurate kick out from Johnson could open up the DC defense tonight.
Prediction: I have seen the Fire win and lose U.S. Open Cup semifinals and know that games like this are almost always very tight and tense. 1-0 Fire with the goal coming from Patrick Nyarko.

We're not big fans of phony things (handbags and hooters top the list). But when it comes to tanning, we downright embrace whatever trickery it takes to fake bronze skin. While a summery glow can be achieved the old fashioned way (baking in beds and on the beach), we prefer to get golden in the privacy of our homes. If you're into the sunless tanner too, read on for our favorite options.
Prep: As victims of under-exfoliation in the past, we must highly recommend this extra step. You might not need it, but if you do require some skin sloughing and decide to forgo-trouble. So, get in the shower, scrub with some bath gloves/body polish, and shave.
Airbrushing: If you're not a fan of the Mystic smell, fear applying self tanner to yourself, and don't mind dropping some cash, airbrush tanning is for you. For a truly luxe experience, the way to go is mobile visit-oh yes. Jessica Kaplan of Golden Touch bronzed our bodies at the office one afternoon. The experience was precise and practically scent-free, no wonder Kaplan usually attends to celebs like Paris Hilton and the girls from "The Hills." Keep in mind that airbrushing can crack as it wears off and look funny if you go too dark, so ask for a color that's only a step or two deeper than your natural skin tone. ($85-150, goldentouchtan.com)
Lotions/Creams: Readers who would rather handle their tan solo but aren't experts at application should choose a tanner with a lotion or cream formula. One of the most foolproof products is Boots Botanics Golden Glow Body Lotion ($11.99, shop-cvs.com). The color is light and builds gradually, making it perfect for daily use. It doesn't have the self-tanner odor and if you forget to wash it off your palms (we did once) you won't look like you have Oompa Loompa hands! Kiehl's makes a Sun Free Self-Tanning lotion that's simple to use ($22.50, kiehls.com). The color also looks very natural even on fair skin.
Gel/Sprays/Mousse: Readers who don't want to dedicate lots of time to tanning should try gel, spray, mousse products-they dry the fastest! One of the most popular gels is the Clarins Self- Tanning Instant Gel ($29.50, sephora.com). It won a Best Of Sephora award last year and is an Allure Reader's Choice winner. Sprays are the easiest way to get hard to reach places. We like the point-and-shoot A Tan For All Seasons from Bliss, especially because the color doesn't transfer to our clothes ($36, sephora.com). Finally, we'd like to direct your attention to St. Tropez Whipped Bronze Self Tanning Mousse ($26.50, sephora.com). St. Tropez tanning products consistently have some of the best color on the market. We love how the mousse evenly distributes color and the lightweight formula never feels sticky.
1. St. Tropez Whipped Bronze Self Tanning Mousse ($26.50, sephora.com)
2. Clarins Self- Tanning Instant Gel ($29.50, sephora.com)
3. Kiehl's Sun Free Self-Tanning lotion ($22.50, kiehls.com)

|Danielle Martino (21) and Amie Stewart (20) block a hit by a North Sanpete player during a game earlier last week. The Lady Dinos wrapped up the regular season by defeating Juan Diego 3-1 this past Tuesday night.
The Carbon High Lady Dinos volleyball team wrapped up the regular season by defeating Juan Diego, 3-1 on October 18 By defeating the Soaring Eagles, Carbon finished the season 8-2 in the Region 8 standings.
The victory against Juan Diego came after a disappointing loss to the Emery High the week before.
The Emery game was a close one with the Dinos losing 3-2. Carbon bounced back from the upset by handing Juan Diego a 25-19 loss in the first two sets and a 25-17 loss in the fourth set. The Dinos did lose the third set to the Eagles, 26-24.
According to Carbon's head coach, Bruce Bean, the Lady Dinos stepped up and played hard against the visiting Juan Diego team.
"This game was won because of a total team effort," stated the coach. "We lost our focus a bit against Emery and even a little bit against Juan Diego. That's something we look to work on in the next few days."
Next on the Lady Dinos schedule is the state tournament which will take place October 27-28. Carbon will face Union in their first game at the tourney. This game will take place at 2 p.m. at Utah Valley State College in Orem.
"We have played Union already this year and we won," explained Bean. "They have a great hitter on their team, but if we show up and play hard we can beat them again."
The Lady Dinos go into the state tournament as defending champions. Bean feels that his team can successfully defend their title if they stay focused. According to the Dino's coach, the bracket in which Carbon is playing should work to the teams advantage.
Carbon will take the rest of this week and the beginning of next to prepare for the state tourney. With athletes that are skilled and determined, Carbon High has a good chance of adding a second consecutive state volleyball trophy to their display case.

BRIER HILL A faulty chimney has been cited in a fire that damaged a Brier Hill home early Wednesday, firefighters said.
The lone occupant at 802 Sand St. Road escaped the 1:29 a.m. fire after being alerted by smoke detectors, Brier Hill Fire Chief Shawn R. Macaulay said.
Firefighters were able to contain the fire to the back room of the house, Mr. Macaulay said.
He said the fire is believed to have started with a faulty chimney for a wood-burning stove in the basement.
Tax records show the property is owned by Michael Stout and Erin Bickelhaupt. The house is insured, Mr. Macaulay said.
Brier Hill firefighters were aided by crews from Morristown and Hammond, with about 60 people on scene.
I would like to thank all departments for a great save, Mr. Macaulay said.

We had a phase many years ago, when we wore big hoop earrings like it was our job. But then, our ardor cooled and we felt like they-especially in gold-seemed a little 80's passé. Silly us. We realized the small-sightedness of our ways and quickly recognized they belong in our jewelry boxes for good. As anyone devoted to trends knows, it's as important to have classic staples in one's repertoire as current delights. And judging by the surge of celebrities sporting gold hoop earrings, they got the memo too.
We first spotted the return of gold hoop earrings on the Cavalli spring runway, as the focal jewelry adornment, paired with center-parted, tightly slicked back hair. While Cavalli was channeling a feminine Spanish matador, we think gold hoops also perfectly compliment this season's many Biba-inspired 70's looks. We recently caught the hoop-loyal Jennifer Lopez wearing a pair, above, but when we noticed them on celebrities who rarely wear earrings, like Rachel Bilson, they really hit our radar. Plus, whenever you see something on such wildly divergent stylephiles as Lily Allen and Hilary Duff you realize the mass appeal.
Like a pair of diamond studs or a Hermes enamel bangle, buying a nice pair of slightly oversized (think: about two inches) gold hoops is a smart investment. However, it's not necessary. One of our favorite stores for inexpensive, well-made jewelry is Banana Republic, and they're currently carrying a super skinny, two-inch, gold-plated pair called the Large Hoop Earring ($18, bananarepublic.com). Since gold hoops aren't worn against skin, you can buy a pair of super cheapies, like Target's Gold Twisted Hoop Earrings, and never worry that the telltale green mark will give away your secret ($7.99, target.com). We also found Yochi Design's Hoop Earrings from Shopbop that have a cool orange enamel stripe ($42, shopbop.com

Submission Benkler on Net Neutrality, Competition, and the Fu->
timothy writes: This week's edition of the economics podcast EconTalk centers on net neutrality.

By Michael Schulder, CNN
Follow on Twitter: @Schuldercnn
(CNN) - Are you or is someone you know a psychopath?
Wait – let's reframe that question.
Do you or someone you know fall somewhere on the psychopathic spectrum?
You may not know for sure until you listen to this week's CNN Profile of Oxford University research psychologist Kevin Dutton.
Dutton is author of the new book "The Wisdom of Psychopaths."
As he explains in this interview, not all psychopaths are violent. In fact, there are many highly functioning psychopaths. One may even be your boss. And you can't judge if a person is a psychopath by simply looking at him, or even from a brief conversation.
Dutton maintains that many people have great success in highly skilled fields not in spite of but BECAUSE of certain psychopathic traits, including a British neurosurgeon he interviewed.
Dutton may have been destined to study psychopaths. His father was one. Not a violent psychopath. A charming one, as so many are. Wait until you hear Dutton describe how his father once conned a restaurant full of patrons.
After you listen to our interview with Professor Dutton – you can spend some time on a psychopathy questionnaire - a "quiz" short version or a sign in for a longer one. Neither will provide a diagnosis. But your psychopathy radar will be better than ever.
Dutton's wife of 13 years has had enough of his immersion in the world of psychopaths. You can hear how he plans to address her concerns on this edition of CNN Profiles.
Editor's Note: Listen to the complete interview in the SoundCloud player above.
It would be best to describe what a psychopath is before going into what the book entails. So before I would ever purchase this book, I would like to know the author's description of a psychopath is.
Mr Dutton looks crazier than a bag of hammers.
I think Mitt Romeny is a psycopath.
How can ANYONE destory millions of peoples llives to reap the benefit from them and keep a straight face and see NOTHING wrong with their actions.
DID YOU KNOW that Mitt Romeny would buy out companies,then bankrupt them;destorying millions of peoples lives.ANd he thinks everything is okay.That man MUST be some type of satan to do such a thing.
Funny that you mention that because that is exactly what Obama is doing now. Bankrupting companies and if not bankrupting helping to ensure that they won't be hiring and cutting workers back to part time instead of full time. Further, Romney bankrupted companies that needed to be bankrupt – he also saved many big companies that would have gone bankrupt. I suppose business fundamentals would escape you though. Little things like closing stores that are losing money, investing in ones that have a growth potential. etc..
Ee gads!!!!!!
Are you so bereft of anything close to a normal life that you are still ranting about, and the possible results, of a failed candidate?
You probably still bore your associated about past injustices, on how Bush stole the election, was not the legal president and secretly caused the planes to crash into the WTC.
What are your thoughts on Chairman Mao, Gingis Khan, the Reformation, Columbus discovery of the new world......
I am sure that we would all be spell bound by your tide-water depth and explanations of these events too.
News flash, the election is over!!
Mitt lost and will not be able to sign or veto a single bill, call on the military to go to war or deal with the fiscal policies.
However, it was Obama that won.
He is now the President and will set the agenda for next 4 years.
If you want, please rant about something current.
Oh Yes, how about COMMENTING ON THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE ARTICLE......
what about sociopaths? the world is filled with narcissitic personalities who will do anything to not see another person happy over the simplest of things.
Sick world. Sick, sick, sick world.
the person who used to be my twin brother is a psychopath. At least in the last 7-8 years he has developed into one and I am not ashamed to say that relationship is effectively OVER. The other day he screamed at me for #picking up a old Atari joystick and trying to break it# when I clearly was not .He has flipped out on me for minor issues and I have had enough of his explosive behavior. We are both in our early 30s with steady jobs and girlfreinds. If you want to hear a psychopath in action that TOTALLY follows the auidocast above in terms teh traits of one.. I called him up later that night to ask what the heck he had screamed and threw a tantrum over simply picking up a old Atari game controller that was in a box. I recorded our conversation that is painful to listen to and reveals him for who he is.
I wont give you the link but please go to photobucket.com and type into the search field "what Mental Illness Sounds Like" there will be one result and its the recordingwhich is abot a minute long.The name of the video is "What Mental Illness Sounds Like". Please listen to it and share your ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com.
For those of us who have a psychopathic boss, friend, wife, or in my case, a former twin brother, we know the good, the bad, and the catastrophic implications. The person who used tobe my twin brother is intelligent and creative but is also seductive, promiscuous, and explosive, just like this cnn podcast reveals.
Those are not traits of a psychopath. It sounds more like he just cannot stand you.
I didn't read the article, but I was just wondering if the guy in the picture is the author or a example of a psychopath. I can't tell.
Yes. This pic is Prof Duttin
Sorry Kevin. Last name is Dutton. Pshycopaths usually are in a hurry, thus misspelliings are common in Tweets.
Was Professor Dutton born in Seattle? My husband was adopted at birth, born in Seattle, and Professor Dutton could be his twin!
People are multi-faceted, complicated creatures capable of having psychopathic traits, but nearly all people can feel or learn to feel at least a little empathy. The brain's hemispheres are connected so the side handling emotional intelligence is separated from the side handling logical intelligence. Women have a large connection between hemispheres; hence, they are less likely to be extreme psychopaths. But even Men who are able to "turn off" the side of their brain that deals with emotions and empathy, do so at will, and are responsible for the results. A truly gifted man is one who can turn off the emotions when necessary, and use them for the good of society when necessary.
Psychopathology isn't an exact science and no one knows for certain when a true psychopath has struck. Serial killers are obvious but other forms of this condition are no so obvious. I thought this expert was absolutely one myself. He is a real wacko. Next time someone crawls through my bedroom window trying to kill me I'll give them this little quiz.
I would say that human nature in general is psychopathic, and insanity is a prevalent trait.
I disagree. Human Nature is to be in balance and to be healthy~body, mind and spirit. Abuse of each other, ignorance and a general misunderstanding of our purpose here lead people to live there lives solely attuned to their egos. There is where the schism lies.
I must be a psychopath because the long version is not sending me my password in a timely fashion and it's making me crazy!! Well played.
I think the thing to remember when throwing out terms like "Psychopath" and "Mentally Ill", is that they are a cover up for people who make money off of selling drugs (Psychiatrists). Enough said about snake oil salesmen...
There are no meds to treat psychopaths.
Your comment is one of the most ignorant comments I've ever read. When did we Americans become so uneducated about the world around us? Mental illness has been described and well documented for thousands of years, well before any drug companies were around to make any profits. Now science has advanced enough that we do not blame serious mental illnesses on things like demon possession or the lunar cycle. We diagnose illnesses that people have been suffering from for millenia and know we have the abilty to treat these conditions in ways we have never before with therapy and if need be medication. If a family member God forbids comes down with some kind of mental illness such as Post Traumatic Syndrome or clinical depression, what are you going to do? Tell them that's there illness is not real and that it's a ploy for drug companies to take money from you? I hope that you wouldn't.
I would say too though that 95% (guesstimate) of the time you will never know who is or isn't. It took me years to learn that my gift had the potential to hurt others. The thing is, others have no idea that my gift gives me such an advantage. They assume I am just a very likeable, charming guy. I still don't feel. But I understand my gift shouldn't be used where it may personally hurt others. It is more like math to me than feelings... I have an understanding of how it works and most of the time try and play by the rules. If I am challenged however; I will use my gift. I don't take advantage of others. I just have an advantage over most others when it comes to reading people for what they expect. Anyway. Psyco-sociopath that selectivly uses his gift, B
The Rich will get richer and the Poor will get richer. The middle class will get poorer which will be the downfall of the American economy.
46 million Americans on food stamps as of September 2012. How long can our economy survive under this leadership?
Try faux news. They are buying what you are selling there.
Think of a psychopath as someone who is fixated fully on 'What's in it for me?' while giving the appearance of being concerned about others. The majority of psychopaths do not get in trouble with the law and are rarely identified as psychopaths. While unable to feel empathy, they learn early how to appear like they care. In other words, they're good actors playing out a real life part showing consideration and compassionate when the situation demands it. It's the psychopaths with low intelligence, excessive sadomasochistic drives or mental problems that stand out as psychopaths, but they're the minority of psychopaths. Beware the psychopath that my wife wisely labels 'a sewer in a suit'. They're the ones who'll take your last dime and make you feel good about giving it up.
Unless you are one you are just parroting what you have been told. I am. I have taught myself not to be that way to others but to only use my "gift" when I need to. Like in job interviews, or debates. I decided not to take advantage of people. Though my gift would allow me to easily. It is a double edged blade.
Anyone who lives without moral or ethical qualm in North America, in accordance with their Government is a psychopath...
Bankers, Traders.....etc?
Dangit... I flung the test with flying colors!
I took the test. Apparently Im an average psychopath...I don't know what that means. Am I not a full psychopath? Am I just an average human who has psychopathic tendencies every once in a while? Am I a psychopath, but Im nothing special, im just average...not Dahmer level.
This test is a joke.
This joke is a test.
Psychopaths are born without empathy or conscience. My Church would hate this idea, but maybe psychopaths really are soulless. They could be throwbacks to what I call the Pre-ensouled Era. I know this is going to sound crazy to most people, but I had fun putting this together, and maybe there's some truth buried here –
Ensoulment – the moment at which a human being gains a soul.
There is a fundamental problem with souls and evolution. When exactly in our evolution were humans ensouled? Did it begin with an ensouled child looking into the eyes of soulless parents? Were there Pre-ensouled and Souled Eras?
Christians believe that God created mankind in his image – as spiritual beings. The story of Adam and Eve could simply be a story of sudden genetic mutation. Adam would have been a mutant, who was later joined by another mutant, Eve. Sort of like spiritual X-Men. This mutation was the final genetic piece that came together to form a "spiritual stargate" – an interface that connects this universe to the "outside." This interface is the soul.
Why religion? Why souls? Why evolve like this? These are BENEFICIAL steps in our evolution that are leading to something. Like a tree evolving higher and higher to reach the light. There must be a light for the tree to reach out to. There must be an "energy source" that makes us evolve into spiritual beings, reaching out to it. We receive positive energy as a result.
Where is there evidence of sudden mutation?
Sudden jump in brain power with the SRGAP2 gene –
Sudden appearance of modern humans 50,000 years ago – exhibiting language, religion, art, music, myth, cooking, games, and jokes –
Evidence of a genetic-spiritual link with the VMAT2 God gene –
If I had to guess, I'd say that humans became ensouled about 50,000 years ago, when modern humans appeared – the beginning of the Souled Era. If psychopaths really are soulless, then they are missing genetic pieces of the spiritual stargate, the interface, the soul – and so are throwbacks to the Pre-ensouled Era.
that must be some awesome stuff you take, what is it? cause you made soooo many leaps that were complete bs based and yet made them sound true... for a second... you moronic douuuche...
Sounds like you could use some positive energy.
While finding an ensoulment date, gene, or something like that might sound outlandish to you Kenny, whether everyone has a soul or not is an interesting thing to think about.(and it's actually something I think about a lot because a lot of people seem really lost) I'm guessing you don't believe in souls. Heh.. Maybe that is whats wrong with people, it's not they don't have souls, it's they don't even realize it or understand what it really means. Sad.
Depressed people tend to spend their lives overthinking
Somewhere back in time, a cave guy lost his gal to a Saber tooth and stayed up for days howling and singing the
caveman blues. He gets another cave gal and Jazoo steals her from him. All this was pre-soul at it's earliest
Plus they lied about having the full interview on line. That interviewer seemed like a classic psychopath to me.
Think you folks need to get a job or something constructive! You're way outta line! Hmph!
CNN produces another article completely lacking substance. I hope everyone submitting these articles are volunteers because I cannot imagine someone getting paid for this information. Seems to be a trend more and more.
Obama supporters = psychopath, simple enough
He looks like a Psycho !
Patrick Bateman is an American Psycho.
What a useless article, it didn't say anything of substance. It was just an ad for the guy's book.
Think Laci Peterson's husband....
Are you sure you're not referring to Stacy Peterson,Drew Peterson's missing wife? Just wondering
No, he mean Laci Peterson, late wife of Scott Peterson. Try google.
I agree its Drew Peterson more than Scott Peterson

DEKALB JUNCTION - The Hammond Girls Basketball team used a well-earned 44-39 victory over host Hermon-DeKalb on Thursday evening to come within one game of cliniching a share of the NAC West Division title.
The Lady Devils (14-1, 11-0) pulled out the victory at the foulline after leading 24-23 after three quartrers.
Alyssa Crosby went 11 of 12 at the foulline in the fourth quarter and 18-for-23 in the contest finishing with 27 points for Hammond. Courtney Bova added 10 while Gabby Marshall hit two threes for six points.
Alyssa (Crosby) just took over the game in the fourth quarter. And she did it playing the interior. But we grew up alot today. We improved since our first meeting with them and we hung in playing good defense. We missed a few box-outs at the end that we needed and that gave them second opportunities, said H-D coach Steve Morrill.
Clarisa Davis and Courtney Harrington each scored nine points for Hermon-DeKalb (8-7, 6-6 NAC West). Kasey ODonnell and Bridget Rust added scored six. The Demons went 7-18 at the foulline as a team.
Every team takes pride in playing in their own gyms, and we have to rise to that occasion, said Hammond coach Shawn Dack after his tough contest at Hermon-DeKalb.
We certainly didnt overlook Hermon-Dekalb. We dont overlook anyone. But we have to play more determined in what we want to accomplish. Especially on offense, we settled for to much tonight, but credit Hermon-DeKalb for that as well. But we adjusted and got out of there with a win. Now we refocus for Harrisville on Monday.
High winds and lake effect snow warnings cancelled the rest of the NAC West schedule which included a key matchup with second place Heuvelton hosting Clifton-Fine, Morristown traveling to Edwards-Knox and Harrisville hosting Lisbon.

|Apps Beat Their Own Blood Drive Record
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 26 September 2013 07:04
And the Apps did it again—besting their best blood drive numbers, collecting 1317 units of blood during the 7th annual Homecoming Blood Drive yesterday. It looked doubtful for a time, with a trickle of participants coming in early, but ultimately, neither rain nor chilly Boone weather
could hold back Mountaineers from coming out to give the gift of life. Chancellor Peacock was seen 'taking one for the team,' rolling up his sleeve. The drive bested last year's collection by four units. Other schools in the UNC system are targeting the success of ASU, but so far, no effort has overcome the ASU numbers.

BUFFALO, NY-- Two brothers were challenged by their godparents to raise money for a charity, and their success will help animals at the SPCA.
Eight-year-old Evan and 11-year-old Brennen Kilcoyne went shopping for treats at the SPCA store.
By collecting cans and holding a pizza party with a raffle, they raised over $1,000 to donate.
"It makes us feel very well that we're helping an organization," says Evan and Brennen Kilcoyne. We're doing this 'cuz [sic] we love cats and dogs that why we picked this."
Their parents proudly emailed us about their sons' giving.

Help with an ID for my loveseat...Eastlake? Generic Victorian? Reproduction?
photo 1 (2).jpgphoto 3 (2).jpgphoto 2 (2).jpgphoto 5 (2).jpgI found this loveseat at auction...looks great in my living room. I'd like to restore it, but I don't want to ruin it if it has any value as an antique. Before I pay to have it appraised, can anyone help me to determine if it is a period piece, and if so which one?

Eastlake furniture in woods like walnut generally postdate 1870 and were made into the late 1880's. Very little of it is hugely valuable, as the style was mass produced in North America. Restoring this piece will not devalue it, but the cost of restoration will likely exceed it's value. Victorian furniture of this type is not currently in style, values for it have been in decline since the late 1990's.

Thank you so very much for the insight....it helps a lot. I bought the piece for me, but it needs a refinish. I can do it myself with minimal expense, so it helps to know its not a valuable piece that I'm tinkering with

Product Test: Windex Touch Up
You can buy a bottle of Windex Touch Up Cleaner at most retailers for between four and five dollars. It is a regular windex product which works well. This is different because you simply tap the top of the bottle and just enough cleaner comes out. No waste. Our tester, Nance really liked this product and gave it two thumbs up.
