CANTON - Starting Thursday, the village of Canton will have its first female police chief.
Sgt. Lori A. McDougal was unanimously appointed by village trustees Monday evening to the $75,0000 a year chiefs position.
She has served with the department since 1994, first as a patrol officer. In 2004 she was promoted to sergeant.
I like a challenge, Ms. McDougal said after being sworn into office. I took the test, passed it and I feel like its the right time for this challenge.
The appointment was made on a probationary basis with the probation term lasting between two and 12 months.
She scored the fourth highest on the civil service exam for the police chief job, but moved up to the top three list after Nathaniel A. Amritt of Nassau County decided he did not want to be considered for the job.
Village trustees interviewed two other candidates for the position, Det. Augustus T. Gus Burns, Lisbon, and Deputy Shawn Wells, both of the St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Department.
Ms. McDougal, 45, resides in the town of Oswegatchie and has spent her entire career in the village of Canton. She worked as a security officer and security department supervisor at St. Lawrence University before joining the Canton force. She received a degree in criminal justice from SUNY Canton in 1988 and later received a bachelors degree in sociology from SUNY Potsdam.
Numerous community members encouraged her to pursue the chiefs job, Ms. McDougal said.
Ive had overwhelming support from the community. People have been very supportive and encouraging, she said.
With 19 years experience with the department, Mayor David P. Curry said Ms. McDougal was the most qualified to take over the reigns as chief.
She knows the village of Canton well and she deserves it, Mr. Curry said. She will do a great job.
During the next two weeks, Ms. McDougal will work with Victor N. Rycroft who has served as temporary chief for the past year. Mr. Rycroft, a retired state police sergeant, took the civil service test for the job, but did not pass the exam.
He was appointed on a temporary basis after Basil W. Cheney resigned after a month on the job after discovering that the $75,000 annual police chief salary was less than he was paid as sergeant in the department when overtime was included.
Ms. McDougal said a similar scenario wont occur for her because Mr. Cheney typically works many more overtime hours than she does.
She credited Mr. Rycroft for making positive changes to the department and improving morale.
He has shown a lot of leadership and I hope to continue that momentum, Ms. McDougal said.
As chief, she said she would like to be involved with upgrading the departments office space or securing new space that is larger.
In other action, Daniel W. Ladouceur, Ogdensburg, was sworn in as a new village patrolman.
If Ms. McDougal successfully completes her probationary period, the board is expected to fill her sergeants position.

Fish senses are survival tools that aid fish in finding food and eluding predators, and an angler who pays attention to these senses is likely to see an increase in the number of fish at lines end.
While hearing, smell, taste, and feel play a part in fish survival, vision and lateral line are a fishs primary survival tools.
Because of the position of eyes on the sides of the head, fish can pretty much see in all directions except for minor blind spots directly behind, directly in front, and directly below. Obviously vision plays a more significant role in clear water than in murky water.
In very clear water, fish can see more than 100 feet, while in very murky water, fish may see only a matter of inches.
On the average, fish probably rely on their vision out to the 20-foot-or-so range. Species like northern pike and brown trout have good long-range vision because they swim out from a hiding place to attack their prey.
The size of a fishs eyes also affects the importance of sight. For example, catfish and bullheads have small eyes and are basically nearsighted so they rely more on other senses for survival.
Large eyes translate to effective feeding in low-light conditions so walleyes and muskellunge can see effectively under dark conditions when their smaller-eyed prey does not see well.
Fish see colors, too, and colors play a more significant role in shallow water than in deep water because the deeper an offering goes, the more the water filters out color ,and the more the bait or lure appears in a shade of gray to fish.
In clear water, baits emit their natural colors and lures emit their painted colors, but in dark water, fish see a silhouette more than color. The colors red, orange, and yellow fade fastest as a lure descends while the colors green and blue hold up best.
Lateral Line
The lateral line is a sensory structure consisting of a longitudinal line running the length of a fishs body. The lateral line consists of vibration-detection sensors that enable the fish to detect vibrations from anything moving the water.
Because fish are such vibration-sensitive creatures, the ability of the lateral line to detect vibrations plays a key role in finding prey and avoiding predators.
Experts believe the lateral line also plays a role in detecting pressure changes, temperature changes, sound and current flow.
While the lateral line does play a role in clear water, that role becomes even more important in stained water where fish have to rely less on vision and more on vibration for survival.
No matter what conditions an anglers fishes, though, he is advised to create as little negative vibration as possible when wading or controlling a boat. Vibrations will likely put the fish in a defensive mode rather than a feeding one.
Hearing, Smell, Taste AND Feel
To a lesser degree than vision and lateral line, fish also rely on their other senses for survival.
Fish have an inner ear that allows them to pick up sound while traveling through water. Some people believe that talking will scare fish; that is unlikely, though, as the sounds of normal talking do not travel through the water.
For the most part, sound is not an issue when using live baits, but the sound features of such lures as top-water ones and rattle baits can certainly get a fishs attention.
The use of the sense of smell varies in different fish species, but nostrils on either side of the head allow fish to take in water and identify odors of both prey and predator.
For feeding purposes, trout rely on their sense of smell more than other species do.
A highly developed sense of smell is necessary for survival of the species among anadromous fish that live in salt water and must return hundreds or even thousands of miles to their native freshwater stream to spawn.
From an avoidance-of-predator perspective, fish go on the alert when baits or lures carry foreign odors from humans, when baitfish and other fish become alarmed and emit chemicals, or when a large predator such as a northern pike fins nearby.
Fish have sensors in their mouths that facilitate the tasting and feeling of would-be foods. These senses of taste and feel often result in a fish expelling a lure before the angler has a chance to set the hook.
Slow-moving, bottom-feeding species such as carp, bullheads, and catfish rely on taste and feel more so than other fish do.
The use of natural baits has certainly the edge over most artificial lures when it comes to taste and feel, but soft plastics impregnated with fish attractants do offer a realistic appeal.

Chance to Connect With Some Former Jets!
If case you've not heard, there's an interesting new website called Thuzio that allows fans the chance to bid at an online auction for unique experiences with sports personalities. I noticed that former Jet VP Matt Higgins is on the board, which is a good sign. After looking at some of the bids, considering the experiences and number of people who could attend for the price, the prices really aren't that bad!
Here's two that I found with players who have played for the Jets:
QB Showdown: Glenn Foley vs. Scott Brunner Flag Football
Bowling with a Baller: Brooklyn Bowl Corporate Team Building with John Conner
I'm sure there will be more cool activities in the future, but thought it would be worth checking out. Have fun!

Details of the ongoing fight between Microsoft, Google and the US government have made their way online. The two companies have had disagreements over the type of software that they have been using. Google first filed a lawsuit against the government during the fourth quarter of 2010, stating that the Department of Interior claiming that their software was not given a fair look when they were making their choice. Ultimately, the government decided to choose the Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite over the Google Apps for the smart phone such as Sim free iPhone 4.
There were several channels that the software had to go through in terms of approval before it was allowed to be used by the government. One of those channels was receiving the official FISMA stamp from the General Services Administration.
Google Apps Premier first received the certification in the summer of 2010, and should have been available to be chosen. Google additionally created a Google Apps for the smart phone such as Sim free Apple iPhone 4 for Government version of the software that was even more secure than the previous version. Despite this fact, they were unable to get the certification for their Google Apps for government version, and claim that they were sabotaged by those within the government, resulting in their software not receiving a fair shake.
The government did end up choosing Microsoft's software, but has maintained that their software was chosen for its security features and not because of any sort of inside conspiracy against the Google software.
The details that have leaked so far have not been confirmed by any party, and it would be surprising if any of them addressed the matter openly. In fact, you can bet that they will choose not to address it for quite some time - or at least until the lawsuit has reached its end.

|Suspect Arrested After Shots Fired, Alarm Pulled
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 18 February 2013 11:23
A fire alarm was pulled just after 6am Saturday February 16th after shots were fired inside a Boone Apartment causing both Police and Fire to be dispatched. Boone Fire, Police Officers, and Watauga County Sheriff's Officers responded to 451 Yosef Drive after reports of shots being fired,
arriving officers discovering that the suspect had fired a firearm inside an apartment and then fled the area. Police say that as the suspect fled, he activated the building's fire alarm system in an attempt to conceal his identity, then ran to the parking lot as law enforcement and fire units arrived. Boone Police Officers and Watauga Sheriff's Office found the suspect hiding inside a vehicle in the parking lot and had to forcefully take him into custody. Arrested was Jacob Arnold Miller, 21, listing a Boone, address. Miller was charged with Discharging a Weapon into an Occupied Dwelling, Breaking and Entering of a Motor Vehicle, Injury to Real Property, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Resisting a Public Officer, and Molesting a Fire Alarm. There was no indication in the press release about what might have led to the incident. Miller was placed under a $75,000 secured bond pending a March 26th, court appearance.

You know how sometimes you look at your closet—which is overflowing to the point where you have several shirts all living on the same hanger and it takes ALL of your core strength to move things around—and you wonder whether you should (a) weed through it to give some stuff away, (b) send a shipment to live at your mom's house, or (c) just move? This is one of those times.
I'm happy to report that we're going (mostly) with the latter because we found a sweet new spot with a Mariah-episode-of-Cribs sized walk-in closet. JUST FOR OUR SHOES.

There are drivers. Then there are S.drivers.When most people are waiting for the road to throw them a curve, you go out looking for one. And now, the revolutionary new S.drive high performance tire puts you more firmly in control. With a breakthrough micro-flexible compound, developed using nanotechnology – for exceptional traction. A forward-looking tread design engineered to outperform. And enough guts to satisfy any serious driver.
Breakthrough Micro-Flexible Compound maximizes road contact for exceptional grip in wet & dry conditions. Developed using nanotechnology, silica-based compound conforms to surface irregularities.Variable Angled Grooves optimize traction on the pavement, especially when cornering.Groove-In-Groove Design distributes stress loads & reduces uneven tire wear.Solid Centre Rib ensures continuous road contact, improves stability, cuts road noise & minimizes uneven wear.Four Wide Circumferential Grooves rapidly eject water for performance in wet weather.
Let me start by saying that when I bought these tires,treadwear, wet, snow, were not factors at all for me as I don't drive the car in wet conditions, don't drive it in winter, and besides these are strictly summer tires only and becasue the car is mostly a garage queen, though not by choice life gets in the way so not much time for it sometimes, treadwear was also not important becasue the tires will get dry rotted and hard before they wear out with the amount of kilometers I put on it in a year. This was exactly the scenario with my original BFG Comp T/A tires. I wanted an excellent tire for dry conditions that would handle exceptionally well and stick to the road and these S.Drives have come through with flying colors. I read the reviews about them being noisy but mine are absolutely quiet.Yes they are still new but some guys were saying that they were noisy even new, well that's not my case. And not only do I have no noise they ride great too. Others have said that as the tire ages and wears down they get noisy, can't comment on that now but I think the problem might be not being religious enough about the tire pressures over time and/or aliment being out of whack and that causes cupping and uneven wear which leads to noise. Also not rotating the tires in time. My factory recommendation for tire pressure is 30 psi front and back but I've got these tires set to 34psi and will be checking them periodically and rotating tires. And the price was also great for performance tires like these.At this time I'm very happy with them,and hoping it will continue into the future before replacement is needed again.

The oem tires were Maxis 175/60 R15. These Yokos are simply the opposite of them. Superb on wet conditions like Senna in Montecarlo.
Nissan Micra 1.6 with this ones now feels safety while driving.

Don't buy these for track or autocross. They are very nice for street though, comfortable, not too stiff and handle and respond well.
They are OK for track but not ideal. They're quite responsive which is good but lose grip at higher speeds and tread ware is not the best (although I'm still learning so I tend to overdrive the tires as well).
They are quite good on wet track, IMO handled better on we than on dry track.

U.S. Open Cup
Looking back on losses is hardly fun to do, though it's an important exercise -- a reminder of what was and what might have been.
The Fire and Sounders have battled plenty in league play over the years but its Open Cup gameday and the two teams met in the 2011 Final.
A Fire side in the midst of a second half of the season playoff push (not unlike this year), heroically navigated their way to the 2011 final in Seattle. Having to balance important games on either side of the Open Cup clash, the team went to CenturyLink Field as underdogs (just like tonight), going up against the Sounders without the ailing Sebastian Grazzini.
The gameplan was sound enough. Marco Pappa, now a Sounder, had a decent chance for the Fire during the first half while the Men in Red survived two Seattle attempts off the bar. Finally the dam broke as Fredy Montero pounced on a rebound before Osvaldo Alonso iced the game late.
Re-watch the match:
I know you're asking why I made you sit through that. That's because even in defeat, Fire supporters rallied around the team following the match, with nearly every Fire fan in Seattle consoling AND congratulating the team at the hotel bar following the match. It made it all more digestable and remains one of my favorite Fire memories of all-time.
Since you did go through that, here's another video you'll enjoy more:
Select shots from the Fire's 3-1 win over the Silverbacks.
Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop
Opening remarks
"It's always good to win any match, and I think that on the basis of the play we had, especially the first half, I thought we deserved to win the game. So, obviously, the red card for Parkhurst makes a difference in the match, but I still felt from that, we went on and had a good performance. To score four goals in any game – although we got an extra 30 minutes to do that – is good. Pleased for the guys. You know, the Crew made it difficult. We went up and then we go down. But we came back into it, good substitutions by the staff, if I do say so myself, to bring Juan on. But Juan's been waiting for a chance, and I was very happy for him to get two goals tonight."
On Juan Luis Anangono's performance
"If you look at Juan's production, especially maybe earlier when he's played a little more minutes…I forget the game we had at home, he got brought down for the penalty kick. He scored a goal in one of the games. He missed the PK. He could've scored that one. So, what I will say about Juan is he's a terrific professional. He's been right with the team all along, with not getting many minutes because of Quincy's play I feel like. But what I like about him is the way he goes about it. He tries very hard for the team. And I'm very, very happy for him to get the two goals tonight."
On Mike Magee's status
"He got clocked in the ankle when I think it was Kevan George caught him with the challenge. So we'll see how he is, but I'm not sure right now."
On what changed in the second half
"I said to our guys at halftime 'they're going to make changes' because I thought we outplayed them completely the first half. So I said, 'Expect to see changes.' And I think that the goal from Anor, he made a difference. They were more forceful. They tried to quickly counter attack on us. And to be honest, they did a good job. And I think that until we kind of figured it out towards the end of the game, we were in a bit of trouble. So again, we've got to be better at doing a 90-minute game and making sure that we see it through and do our thing. But what I will say is that the fighting spirit in the guys to come back again and to go on and win the game is great. It'd just be nice to put a good performance of 2 or 3 to nil at some point. It'd be nice, but we're not there yet. We're trying hard. And I can't fault the guys for effort at all. They've been great."
On making adjustments throughout the game
"We were down in the game, so we have to push it. Bringing on Alex is a bit more attacking minded than putting Logan in his role. Juan's a forward, he wants to score goals. Bringing him on obviously is key. I just wanted to bring on a fresh defender with Jhon. I felt that Columbus was getting into the game with the quick breaks. I wanted to make sure that we shored that up a little bit. You know, I was pleased with the subs that came on. They did a nice job. And I think the whole team responded when we did that."
Chicago Fire forward Juan Luis Anangono
On the opportunity to come into the game and be a hero
"The team worked hard to get all the goals and I'm personally happy to have scored the two goals. I think the whole team are heroes. The whole team worked hard. This is a team, we're 11 players and seven subs and other players that are all helping the team. This is a team, there isn't one hero. If there's a hero, it's the team. We all have the characteristics and we're all ready to play. Who plays and who doesn't is the decision of the coach. I think the coach does what is best for the team, thinking of who will help the team. I believe we're all good players and we all need to be ready to help at whatever moment."
Chicago Fire midfielder Jeff Larentowicz
On using the Open Cup games to help turn things around over the break
"It's just about the will to win, and taking care of the things we should. I think that having two home games in the Open Cup is a good opportunity for us to get into a rhythm. We've had some injuries and we've gotten some guys back. Right now we're just finding a way to win and build on that heading back into the regular season."
On how this will help going back to MLS play next week
"The guys that are playing in these games are probably the guys that will be playing once the regular season starts up again, so I think it's about everyone developing a rhythm and understanding each other. If we can create goals we can start to see patterns of play we like to do and hopefully we can carry those in the regular season again."
On training during the break
"I think over the past couple of weeks it's just been about getting bodies back. For a while there we were pretty thin, and now it's about getting everyone back, veteran guys, healthy and training hard again because we have trained well the last couple of weeks and I think it's showing in games.
Chicago Fire forward Quincy Amarikwa
On coming back in the second half to get the result
"We just battled. Unfortunately, we let them score two unanswered [goals]. After we came in at halftime, we said we wanted to come out on front foot, but we dug in. Juan [Luis Anangono] came off the bench and really made an impact on the game, he helped us tie it up and the rest is history."
On Columbus' play in the second half:
"When you're the team on the road and down a goal at halftime, you don't have anything to lose. So, you kind of throw everything but the kitchen sink at the home team, and that second goal kind of just fell their way. I don't think there's any kind of defensive error from thinking about it. I'd have to go back and look at the tape, he just happened to be at the right place at the right time and took advantage of it and they capitalized."
Columbus Crew Head Coach Gregg Berhalter
On the match:
"I thought it was a good game. We put a different system into play and the guys knew about it at the last moment. We wanted to try something. We got a lot out of that exercise. I'm proud of the way they adapted to the system, and proud of the way they played the game. Specifically, the second half, where I thought we were extremely dominant."
On rallying his team at half time:
"We weren't confident in our movement in terms of how we were executing what we designed. The message was positive. All things considered, it's a good job. Now here's what we can do to make it even better. The guys did that, especially in the second half. They played really well."
On Arrieta's goal:
"It was a great goal. Great move. Good finish. It was good. We need Jairo to score those goals. He had some other chances as well and we want him to be dangerous."
On the team's defensive 5-man posture tonight:
"It was good. We honestly gave them this today. So having said that, I think they did a great job. It was something where we felt we wanted to take a look at. We thought we could expose some things of theirs and take advantage of an organized back line."
On Chicago's equalizer late in the second half:
"If I take anything from the game, I'm most disappointed with that. I think that when you are at that stage of the game, you got to be disciplined enough to carry it out. And I would say it's a little bit of the guys who haven't been getting enough minutes. They weren't comfortable in that position. Chicago is putting more pressure on us, and we just needed to be brave and keep playing. I thought we stopped doing that. As a result, we got punished."
Columbus Crew Midfielder Bernardo Anor
On the match:
"It was a crazy game. I think we had the opportunity to close down the match. We started to lose 1-0, and then we went up 2-1, and then 7 minutes left we let them tie the game which leads us to overtime. Then we give up two goals. That killed the game so we should have done better towards the end of the game."
On coming back to take the lead in the second half:
"A lot of new guys on the field. For all of us, we need to hold ourselves accountable to do whatever it takes to get a 'w' and I think the performance for most of the guys was pretty impressive. We were trying out a new system and it's the first time we did such a thing. Some of the things we did out there we are forced to take home and assess them, and get better at them."
On his goal scored in the 70th minute:
"Speas was coming in with his right foot and I was just making the run to play me through and I decided to shoot the goal. I gathered the rebound and saw it was wide open and got it with my left foot."
On his thoughts on the new system:
"It's a transition game, pretty much. Having five in the back, we knew that Chicago was going to have one of the guys come in pretty deep and have the ball so one of the purposes for one of the 3 center backs to release his man and come help us in the middle. So by the time we win the ball, we got to push all the backs forward and get numbers up. I think we're going to do a better job in doing that. Again, it's the first time but I think working on it we can pull it off."
On returning to playing FC Dallas on Saturday in league play:
"We don't like losing of course, but I think the positive thing is we will be 100% in getting those 3 points against Dallas. We need to focus on that so now our priority is to get good rest and our mind ready for the game."
Select shots from the Fire's win over the Crew.
If the experience around last week's 2-1 weather-shortened victory over Pittsburgh felt familiar, that's only because it was.
The game was just over a year on from a Fire Open Cup match vs. the Columbus Crew that never got off the ground on the original June 12 date as sever thunderstorms crashed in on Chicagoland throughout that night.
Instead the game was rescheduled for a noon kickoff the following day, with the Fire giving FREE entry to all fans that could make it Toyota Park for the match.
Take a trip down memory lane with highlights from that game:
Good news! Wednesday's kickoff forecast is perfect soccer weather: partly cloudy, with a temperature of 65 degrees and only 10% precipitation.

The Fourth Round draw for the 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup occurred Friday morning at Soccer House in downtown Chicago and with MLS teams entering at this stage, the process was much more elaborate than the straight forward flips from last week's Third Round draw.
Before I lay out how it unfolded, a few bullets to keep in mind…
- I was incorrect in my earlier tweets and statements that a USL PRO affiliate could not be matched with its partner MLS club. I'm a busy guy and sometimes you just have to admit you're not perfect, sorry!
- The only affiliate relationship that needed to be separated for this draw was that of the LA Galaxy and LA Galaxy II who are both owned by the same party.
- USL PRO side Orlando City and their PDL side Orlando City U-23s, are both in the tournament but could not be matched up at this stage as MLS teams must be matched with a lower league pairing.
- Chivas USA was the only MLS club to not apply to host a Fourth Round Open Cup match.
With those done, I will underscore that the most important principle to keep in mind for how pairings are determined comes from Page 7 of the 2014 U.S. Open Cup Handbook. It states:
"After each Third Round pairing has been determined, each Division I (MLS) team entering in the Fourth Round will be matched geographically to play the winner of a specific Third Round pairing. Instances where a logical geographic fit doesn't exist will be resolved by random selection."
As all business as a selfie can be prior to walking into Soccer House...
Upon arrival to Soccer House, Competition Secretary Paul Marstaller handed me a sheet of paper with four geographic groupings, plus a wild card pool. The most straightforward grouping was the top table which featured eight Third Round matchups across from eight MLS teams that made "a logical geographic fit" with those lower league pairings.
The pairings with the result of the coin flip are below. Teams that are not bolded either did not have a suitable home venue or didn't apply to host (U.S. Soccer did not distinguish the reason on this sheet).
|Brooklyn Italians SC (NPSL)/New York Cosmos (NASL)
|New York Red Bulls (MLS)
|Dayton Dutch Lions (USLP)/Indy Eleven (NASL)
|Columbus Crew (MLS)
|RWB Adria (USASA)/Pittsburgh Riverhounds (USLP)
|Chicago Fire (MLS)
|Minnesota United FC (NASL)/Des Moines Menace (USASA
|Sporting Kansas City (MLS)
|Laredo Heat (PDL)/Ft. Lauderdale Strikers (NASL)
|Houston Dynamo (MLS)
|NTX Rayados (USASA)/San Antonio Scorpions (NASL)
|FC Dallas (MLS)
|Arizona United SC (USLP)/Oklahoma City Energy FC (USLP)
|LA Galaxy (MLS)
|Fresno Fuego (PDL)/Sacramento Republic (USLP)
|San Jose Earthquakes (MLS)
For the local Fire fans, I was able to take OFFICIAL VIDEO documenting the Fire's winning coin flip:
The second grouping of matchups pooled three Northeast MLS sides with three lower league pairings. Of note here, Marstaller said that because the Harrisburg City Islanders and Baltimore Bohemians are about equidistant to D.C. United and Philadelphia Union, a flip off between the two sides would be done to determine which club would host the winner of that Third Round Matchup.
Based on alphabet, D.C. United was assigned heads and Philadelphia tails, with the Union winning. Because neither Harrisburg or Baltimore applied to host, no flip was necessary as hosting rights defaulted to the Union.
|Harrisburg City Islanders (USLP)/Baltimore Bohemians (PDL)
D.C. United
Philadelphia Union
United's loss on their first flip resulted in them moving down to the next pairing of two lower league matchups where a similar flip had to occur between New York Greek American Atlas/Richmond Kickers and Reading United AC/Rochester Rhinos to determind who would be D.C.'s opponent.
New York Greek American Atlas (USASA)/Richmond Kickers (USLP)
Reading United AC (PDL)/Rochester Rhinos (USLP)
|D.C. United
Again, determined by alphabet, the New York/Richmond matchup was assigned heads while the other was assigned tails and the coin again flipped to tails matching D.C. United with Reading/Rochester.
This moved New York/Richmond down to a matchup with the New England Revolution and then flips were done to determine the hosting rights for those two matchups with both lower league matchups winning with heads. For the purpose of clarity, here is how that final grouping looked:
|Harrisburg City Islanders (USLP)/Baltimore Bohemians (PDL)
|Philadelphia Union
|Reading United AC (PDL)/Rochester Rhinos (USLP)
|D.C. United
|New York Greek American Atlas (USASA)/Richmond Kickers (USLP)
|New England Revolution
The third grouping was a product of Chivas USA being the only MLS club not to apply for hosting rights. Because of this, Marstaller needed to pair them with lower league matchups in which both clubs applied to host, of which there were two: Atlanta Silverbacks/Chattanooga FC (heads) and Charlotte Eagles/Carolina Railhawks (tails).
A coin flip was done to see who would host Chivas and landed tails giving Charlotte/Carolina the hosting rights. This pushed Atlanta/Chattanooga down to the very ending "Wild Card Pool".
Atlanta Silverbacks (NASL)/Chattanooga FC (NPSL)
Charlotte Eagles (USLP)/Carolina RailHawks (NASL)
|Chivas USA
The fourth pool featured the PSA Elite/LA Galaxy II matchup paired against four MLS teams that were within geographical proximity. While both lower-league teams are based in Southern California, because PSA Elite also did not apply to host, Chivas USA could not be thrown into this group.
The most interesting part of the process Friday was the flip-off between four MLS clubs to determine who would play Galaxy II/PSA Elite.
Again determined by alphabet, Colorado/Portland and Real Salt Lake/Seattle Sounders did a preliminary flip. Both losers in that round (Portland & Real Salt Lake) were moved into the final Wild Card pairing, then Colorado and Seattle did a final flip, with Seattle winning again (which should keep Sigi Schmid somewhat happy) and Colorado also falling to the Wild Card group.
|PSA Elite (USASA)/LA Galaxy II (USLP)
Colorado Rapids
Portland Timbers
Real Salt Lake
Seattle Sounders
One final flip was done to determine the hosting rights for that match with Galaxy II/PSA Elite winning and presumably, since PSA Elite did not apply to host, Sigi will be their biggest fan.
|PSA Elite (USASA)/LA Galaxy II (USLP)
|Seattle Sounders
After all the flips above were done, the Wild Card pool looked like the below table, with MLS clubs placed on the right according to alphabetical order. Because of the odd number of matchups, coin flips could not be used to determine who would play each other so Marstaller placed three slips of paper marked "A", "B" and "C" into plain envelopes. As the matchup moved down from the initial Chivas USA grouping, Atlanta/Chattanooga was assigned "C" while the other two lower-league pairings were assigned "A" and "B" based on alphabetic order.
Orlando City U23s (PDL)/Charleston Battery (USLP)
Tampa Bay Rowdies (NASL)/Orlando City (USLP)
Atlanta Silverbacks (NASL)/Chattanooga FC (NPSL)
Colorado Rapids
Portland Timbers
Real Salt Lake
Marstaller then went down the alphabetic list of MLS sides and drew the slips of paper from the envelopes. When all three matchups had been finalized, final flips for hosting rights occurred, concluding the fourth round Open Cup draw. You can see how the envelopes were drawn and the winner of the flips below:
|Tampa Bay Rowdies (NASL)/Orlando City (USLP)
|Colorado Rapids
|Orlando City U23s (PDL)/Charleston Battery (USLP)
|Portland Timbers
|Atlanta Silverbacks (NASL)/Chattanooga FC (NPSL)
|Real Salt Lake
Following the draw, Marstaller said the published fourth round scenarios would not be accompanied Friday by match dates yet. This is because the Fourth Round has three possible match dates over an eight-day span. With USL PRO and the PDL, along with amateur sides having league games between the June 10-18 Fourth Round window, all clubs that have the potential to host a Fourth Round match will have the weekend to give their preferred hosting date before U.S. Soccer balances the already scheduled league games. Because of the logistical process, hosting dates are expected to be announced sometime next week.
A comprehensive list of who won hosting coin flips can be found below.
|Brooklyn Italians SC (NPSL)/New York Cosmos (NASL)
|New York Red Bulls (MLS)
|Dayton Dutch Lions (USLP)/Indy Eleven (NASL)

Thanks again to the U.S. Soccer staff for being great hosts once again!
As I did much of last year, I was excited to be invited back to Soccer House, headquarters of the U.S. Soccer Federation, for Thursday's third round Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup draw.
I was joined on Prairie Street by Indy Eleven President Peter Wilt, who was there to witness his club's first Open Cup coin flip.
If you read some of my Open Cup draw articles last year, you might have seen a very complicated process which involved bigger groupings of geographical possibilities, numbering pieces of paper and drawing from envelopes before any coins were flipped.
None of that was the case on Thursday as Competition Secretary Paul Marstaller was able to fit all potential third round matchups in to "logical geographic pairings" so only coin flips needed to take place.
For the Open Cup nerds out there, this may disappoint you and if you'd rather go no further, I suggest you just read U.S. Soccer's official release on the potential third round pairings. If you would still like to know some of the interesting intricacies of the day's happenings, keep reading:
- Five lower-league professional sides did not apply to host third round matches: USL PRO's Harrisburg City Islanders, Orange County Blues, Arizona United SC, Oklahoma City Energy FC and NASL's Atlanta Silverbacks.
- As they did last year, USL PRO's Dayton Dutch Lions did apply to host but their field does not meet U.S. Soccer's competition requirements (a common theme here). Their second round opponent, North Chicago side Schwaben AC also applied to host but their venue does not meet requirements as well.
- Why would both clubs apply to host if they didn't meet requirements? While it's unlikely it would happen, supposing the opponent that pair was matched up with also didn't meet field or venue requirements or didn't apply to host, U.S. Soccer could then award hosting rights to either club. In the case of Dayton/Schwaben, because Indy Eleven applied to host and their home venue meets requirements, a coin flip did not occur for this matchup.
- Another interesting example of this was on the last flip of the round in the matchup of Cal FC / LA Galaxy II and PSA Elite / San Diego Flash. Of the four teams, only LA Galaxy II's venue met requirements, while both PSA Elite and San Diego Flash applied to host although neither team's field met requirements. So in the case that Cal FC won, the winner of the PSA Elite / San Diego Flash match would host a third round match up by default.
With USL PRO's Charleston Battery having the only suitable host venue in their potential match up (they play the PDL's Panama City Pirates in Round 2), they automatically were rewarded hosting rights should they advance to a third round matchup against the winner of Jacksonville United FC / Orlando City U23s. Jacksonville United did apply to host but their home venue was deemed not to fit stadium requirements. However, should Charleston lose and Jacksonville win, the NPSL side would host Panama City in the third round. Should both Panama City and Orlando City win, because neither applied for hosting rights, U.S. Soccer would quickly quoroum with both clubs to figured out a host for a third round match.
- USL PRO's Wilmington Hammerheads applied to host but their field was also deemed unsuitable. Paired with NPSL's Chattanooga FC in the second round, should Wilmington win, they would host by default as Atlanta Silverbacks did not apply to do so.
- Because of some of these differing scenarios, coin flips did not occur as matchups defaulted to a suitable host team.

Thank you again to U.S. Soccer for allowing me to play witness to the draw once again. Chicago-Fire.com plans to bring coverage of the fourth round draw procedure when it occurs next week.
The first round of the 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup kicked off across the country with seven matches (and a forfeit) Wednesday night.
Of note, three games went to extra time with two of those going to penalty kicks. One of the matches decided in a shootout was that of local side RWB Adria downing NPSL darlings Detroit City FC 3-1 on penalties after playing to a dramatic 2-2 draw.
Hot Time in Old Town's Sean Spence live tweeted the match from Livonia Stevenson High School in suburban Detroit where Adria took an early lead through Vlad Baciu in the 20th minute. Fueled by the always raucous DCFC partisans, the home side took a 2-1 lead with second half goals from Tyler Arnone and former Colorado Rapids defender Kevin Taylor in the 71st and 77th minutes respectively.
Baciu bagged a dramatic brace in the dying moments of regulation to send the match to extra time where both teams saw two players sent off and neither could find a goal in the 30 extra minutes. Adria played the spoiler connecting with three of their penalties to see out Detroit City FC and set up a return date to Detroit next week where they'll face perennial U.S. Open Cup spoilers Michigan Bucks next Wednesday, May 14.
Adria will be joined in the second round by another local Chicago side, Schwaben AC, who host USL PRO's Dayton Dutch Lions in Arlington Heights next Wednesday at 4pm CT.
These games should be of interest for Fire fans as the regional groupings make sense for a potential fourth round match up (where MLS teams enter the tournament).
Other Notes:
- The tournament saw it's first forfeit in a decade as USASA side Corinthians were forced to withdraw from their match against the San Diego Flash due to not being able to obtain international clearance for their players in time to play the match. TheCup.US has more information on this intriguing story.
- Kudos to U.S. Soccer for upping their coverage of the tournament this year by introducing a "Game of the Round" which streamed on the Federation's official site Wednesday night. The chosen match saw the USL Premier Development League's Western Mass Pioneers down USASA side GPS Massachusetts 4-1 to advance to the second round. Catch the archive of the match here.
- With the first round done and second round matches set, U.S. Soccer will conduct the tournament's third round draw at Soccer House in Chicago this afternoon. Chicago-Fire.com will once again be a witness at the festivities and have a full account of how the matchups happened later Thusday.
For more information on the 2014 U.S. Open Cup, please visit USsoccer.com and the tournament's unofficial site TheCup.us.
The beginning road for the 101st edition of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup was set Thursday with the U.S. Soccer Federation releasing the new tournament format, first round and potential second round pairings.
Of note, the 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup will feature the largest-ever tournament field with 80 teams participating, smashing the previous record of 68 teams set last year. Forty-two of the 80 participating teams are amateur sides, breaking the previous record of 34 (also set in 2013). Also of note, all professional teams at Division I, II and III levels are participating in the competition for the third straight year.
The Chicago Fire will join the Open Cup party in the tournament's fourth round, set to be played June 10-18. In case you need a local Open Cup fix, two Illinois-based amateur sides are in the tournament as RWB Adria returns along with Schwaben AC.
Adria visits NPSL side Detroit City FC in a first round match up on Wednesday, May 7 at Stevenson High School in Livonia, Mich., while Schwaben will enter play in the tournament's second round when they host USL PRO side Dayton Dutch Lions on Wednesday, May 14 at 4:00pm CT at Schwaben Athletic Club in Buffalo Grove, Ill.

This item was a huge hit with the children and adults at my grandsons 2nd birthday. It was awesome to see the adults putting on the masks and interacting with their children making dinosaur noises and taking a moment to explain what type of dinosaur the various masks were. BIG HIT!!!!

Comments about Dunlop Tortex T3 Sharp Tip Guitar Picks 72-Pack:
Best pick I've played with yet! I reccomend them to everyone! Grab a set and try em out!
I used the Tortex Jazz picks for probably a year but always felt like they were too small but I absolutely loved the sharp tips on them. Then I tried some of the Ultex sharps but thought they were to slippery. Then I discovered these and they are the best of both worlds! Sharp tip like the Jazz Tortexes but with a much larger body. Best picks I've ever played with by far! I first got a 12 pack of the .88's but just recently bought a 72 pack so I'll be set for a long while!
The tips do eventually start to wear a little bit and the "grip" coating also eventually wears off a little as do the labels. But that's a very minor issue honestly... I play quite a lot of thrash metal so it's pretty demanding on them.
You really can't beat the price. About .25 cents a piece and they last me quite a long while.
Comments about Dunlop Tortex T3 Sharp Tip Guitar Picks 72-Pack:
These picks are great. I've been using the tortex picks for at least a decade and always wanted a sharper pick with the same feel. I play lots of fast rhythm and they work great. I'd advise any player that likes the regular tortex picks to give them a try.
Comments about Dunlop Tortex T3 Sharp Tip Guitar Picks 72-Pack:
Wow, these picks are great! I've always liked using sharp picks, and I've tried everything from the Tortex Sharps the the Jazz picks to Black Ice picks to Ultex Sharps, but none of those had everything I was looking for. I like the attack and the firmness of Tortex picks, but they were either too sharp or too dull. I settled for the Ultex until these came out, but these blow everything out of the water. I highly recommend these picks, especially for rhythm players.

Non-professional community leaders may be at a great advantage in reaching otherwise hard to reach populations for the purpose of advising on sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention (lay health advisors), health care access, and model health behavior. Latino migrant farm workers are at increased risk for STD and might benefit from such lay health advisors. The study will examine whether this strategy is a useful one for STD prevention in Latino migrant farm workers in rural and small town areas of North Carolina.
