7 U.S. Code § 2611 - Congressional findings and declaration of policy
prev | next
Potatoes are a basic food in the United States and foreign countries. They are produced by many individual potato growers in every State in the United States and imported into the United States from foreign countries. In 1966, there were one million four hundred and ninety-seven thousand acres of cropland in the United States devoted to the production of potatoes.
Potatoes and potato products move in the channels of interstate or foreign commerce, and potatoes which do not move in such channels directly burden or affect interstate commerce in potatoes and potato products.
The maintenance and expansion of existing potato markets and the development of new or improved markets are vital to the welfare of potato growers and those concerned with marketing, using, and processing potatoes as well as the general economic welfare of the Nation.
Therefore, it is the declared policy of the Congress and the purpose of this chapter that it is essential in the public interest, through the exercise of the powers provided herein, to authorize the establishment of an orderly procedure for the financing, through adequate assessments on all potatoes harvested in the United States for commercial use and imported into the United States from foreign countries, and the carrying out of an effective and continuous coordinated program of research, development, advertising, and promotion designed to strengthen potatoes' competitive position, and to maintain and expand domestic and foreign markets for potatoes and potato products.

Records are made to be broken and a Guinness World Record was likely shattered thanks to the help of kids right here in Price. On March 22, more than 25 club members of the Boys and Girls Club of Carbon County joined their peers from more than 1,000 Boys and Girls Clubs across the country to break the Guinness World Record for the most people doing jumping jacks or star jumps.
As part of National Boys and Girls Club Week (March 20-26) Boys and Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) embarked on this initiative with its clubs across the country through the organization's Triple Play program. This program, supported by founding sponsor, Coca-Cola, and the WellPoint Foundation, encourages kids to eat healthier, become more physically active and increase their ability to engage in healthy relationships.
"Young people living healthy, active lifestyles puts them on a pathway to a great future," said McKell Warburton, executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of Carbon County. "By jumping their way into history, they proved that you don't need fancy equipment or a gym membership to get active and be healthy. Fitness can start with something as simple as a jumping jack!"
To break the current record, more than 278 kids needed to complete the attempt. While the official verdict will come from Guinness in a couple of weeks, all indications are that the record has been broken.
"The WellPoint Foundation is committed to improving health in our communities and is proud to help bring the Triple Play program to the Boys and Girls Clubs throughout the state," said Lance Chrisman, executive director of the WellPoint Foundation. "By helping our kids learn healthy habits at a young age, we can give them the tools to live their healthiest, longest lives possible, and maybe even break some records along the way."
"Coca-Cola is proud to support the Triple Play initiative in partnership with the WellPoint Foundation," said Quinton Martin, vice president, community marketing. "Research shows that this program is working - Triple Play is succeeding in getting kids to exercise more, eat a variety of foods and feel good about themselves. We are committed to promoting programs that help children, teens and adults live active, healthy lifestyles."
Nearly one-third of children and teens in the U.S. are obese or overweight, according to multiple studies. Children and adults can avoid these devastating diseases by adopting and maintaining healthy habits early on.
Jumping jacks are called star jumps in some countries, because the arms, legs and head form a five-pointed star. The record is defined as "the most people star jumping simultaneously at multiple venues for two consecutive minutes," according to the Guinness World Records.

A Checklist For Your Managed Services Portfolio
By Dave Sobel, director of partner community for Level Platforms, an AVG Company
A rich managed services portfolio is a key approach for an MSP to ensure customer loyalty. The more MSPs can monitor and manage, the more vital they become to customers' operations and the more "sticky" the relationship becomes. Stickiness ensures the MSP is far less likely to be displaced by a competing provider, as the MSP is able to show a considerable distinctiveness from the competitor.
- To start, an MSP should focus on the basics. Inventory, monitoring, alerting, and asset management are the tenants of a good MSP offering, as this is a basic offering that most small SMBs are unable to manage well on their own.
- Everything that can be monitored should be monitored. This includes antivirus, backups, spam systems, email systems, and email flow. Some sophisticated MSPs even monitor customers' domain names for expiration and to watch to make sure they aren't placed on a spam black list.
- Every device should also be monitored. This includes routers, switches, printers, VoIP phones, firewalls, and the like. If it has an IP address, it should be monitored. Start with up/down status, and move on to service monitoring. Printers can be even more aggressively monitored, monitoring both usage and consumable levels. Those consumables can also prove to be a lucrative stream of revenue as well!

Samsung has done well with its Galaxy series, and it has another round of numbers to confirm it. With more than 50 million Android phones sold all over the world, Samsung has reason to gloat. They've racked up some impressive sales numbers with just a few well-designed and well-received devices.
Protect your Galaxy S3 form the hustle and bustle of everyday life with the latest Samsung Galaxy S3 accessories.
The Galaxy line has created a dynasty to rival the royal Apple family. Samsung Galaxy S sales hit 24 million in two years. Then the Galaxy S II outperformed its ancestor with 28 million sales in 13 months, making it Samsung's fastest selling device ever. Now add 8 million more sales since late February and there's no sign of S II's momentum slowing. Well maybe its progeny Galaxy S3 will have something to say about that. It's already racked up 9 million pre-orders.
While Samsung has carved a reputation as a leader in mobile technology and devices , it is also gained notoriety for being pretty slow with bringing cell phone accessories and tablet accessories to the market. Industry leading manufacturers continue to provide the greatest selection of top brand accessories from Bags and Sleeves, Batteries, Bluetooth Headsets and Bluetooth Car Kits, Car Holders, Cases and Skins, Data Cables, Earbuds and Headsets, Keyboard and Protectors, Memory Cards, Screen Protectors, Speakers and Docks as well as Stylus and Pens.
Samsung Galaxy Note had a nice showing, too. In a world where you're either a tablet or you're a smartphone, this hybrid carved out a 7 million-unit niche since its debut in October 2011.
The statistics released didn't cover the entire Galaxy family. It would be nice to see how the poorer relations, Galaxy Ace and Galaxy Y, fared. The next couple of months are going to be very exciting for everything Samsung.

ASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's pick of Denis McDonough to be his next chief of staff means a longtime confidant and unflappable ally of Obama will be his gatekeeper during his second term.
Clinton-era chief of staff John Podesta, who worked with McDonough in the Senate, says Obama trusts McDonough implicitly - perhaps more than anyone else in the White House.
McDonough has served as the president's deputy national security adviser. Obama's aides describe him as a hard and loyal worker with vast foreign policy expertise. Former co-workers say he's skilled at both policy and politics, known for putting a human touch on a demanding job.
But McDonough has little experience with domestic policy. High on the agenda for the start of Obama's second term are fiscal showdowns, immigration and gun control.

A Gouverneur man faces 10 years probation after pleading guilty Monday in Jefferson County Court to an allegation that he watched a sexual performance by a teenager via Skype while he was deployed to Afghanistan.
Shawn S.S. Raymo, 23, also will be ordered at his Sept. 6 sentencing to register with the state as a sex offender for a guilty plea to use of a child in a sexual performance. He and his wife, Jessica M. Raymo, 21, were charged with inducing a 15-year-old girl into engaging in a sexual act that was broadcast to Mr. Raymo over the Internet in July 2011. Mrs. Raymo, who was living on Fort Drum at the time, said when she entered a guilty plea to use of a child in a sexual performance that, she did so at her husbands request.
Mrs. Raymo pleaded guilty March 22 and was sentenced June 7 to 10 years probation and ordered to register with the state as Level 1 sex offender.
In other court activity:
Kevin M. Prashaw, 51, of 21601 Floral Drive, pleaded guilty to fourth-degree grand larceny. He admitted that from June to August 2010, he received $3,040 in benefits from the Department of Social Services to which he was not entitled. He is expected to be sentenced Aug. 27 to five years probation and be ordered to pay restitution.
Joshua M. Medina, 23, whose last known address was 1737 Burns Ave., pleaded guilty to fifth-degree attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance. He admitted that he tried to sell heroin within the county May 15. He is expected to be sentenced Sept. 6 to six months in the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and five years probation.
Skylar Grega, 20, Plessis, admitted violating probation and was resentenced to 10 months in the PSB and ordered to pay about $12,000 in restitution in the form of a civil judgment. He admitted violating probation by failing to follow through with substance abuse rehabilitation counseling and by testing positive for the use of illegal drugs while under supervision. Information about why he was serving probation was not available from the court. His probation supervision had been transferred to the county from St. Lawrence County.
Charrie L. McKnight, 41, Calcium, admitted violating probation and was restored to five years supervision. She admitted violating probation by failing to pay about $2,800 in restitution, which now is due in the form of a civil judgment. She was serving five years probation imposed in June 2010 for grand larceny and forgery convictions.

today, is one of the greatest days ever for 4 reasons:
6. St. Patrick was a really cool guy
7. Green is my favorite color
8. Who wouldn't want to be Irish?
9. Today is my BIRTHDAY! I'm 16!!!
Moderator: Bonn-o-Tron
Wikipedia wrote:[Saint Patrick's Day] became a feast day in the Roman Catholic Church due to the influence of the Waterford-born Franciscan scholar Luke Wadding in the early part of the 17th century, and is a holy day of obligation for Roman Catholics in Ireland. The date of the feast is occasionally, yet controversially, moved by church authorities when March 17 falls during Holy Week; this happened in 1940 when Saint Patrick's Day was observed on April 3 in order to avoid it coinciding with Palm Sunday, and happened again in 2008, having been observed on 15 March.

Gallery: Backstage With Male Models In Their Underwear At The Parke & Ronen Spring 2014 New York Fashion Week Show
We certainly look forward to the flood of new clothes, colors and styles that each fashion cycle brings us, but we've learned to anticipate the deluge of backstage shots from Parke & Ronen's bi-annual shows with just as much fervor. On the high heels of the casting video that captured our attention last week arrive this season's batch of backstage shots from Parke & Ronen's runway show that once again prove NYFW is our favorite holiday of the year!
You're welcome.

Some of the comments are hilarious because (you) white and Asian gay men (in the fashion & advertising industry) are the creators of this pubescent image of the current male male - just as white women are as fashion editors at magazines. Both want to create an illusion of what they want to be: blonde, sinewy, Nordic, seventeen, thin, pretty - AND THAT'S ALL. It's sad when we live in this country with so many beautiful types of people - we are all constantly being force feed white beauty. Which, obviously, I do not believe in nor worship.
I agree the average gay guy that is wearing that does not alway look like that. How about older fit guys. Average but guys. Sexy is not alway skinny and six pack.
Judging by the muscle tone here, none of these guys are underweight but are right on target with athleticism and nutrition.
where is the body hair, the masculinity. These anemic effeminates are scary.
They should take all that money they make and buy some food...some of them look sick..like if I dropped a candy bar they would start a cat fight.

Three years ago today, Steve and I stood out in front of our offices and jokingly crowned ourselves the burger kings of media. We'd just made headlines by joining with Google in our shared goal of organizing the world's information (in our case, video) and making it easily and quickly accessible to anyone, anywhere. Today, I'm proud to say that we have been serving well over a billion views a day on YouTube. This is great moment in our short history and we owe it all to you.
Looking back at those early days, we were committed to some basic principles that have since become fundamental tenets in the world of online video:
- Speed matters: Videos should load and play back quickly.
- Clip culture is here to stay: Short clips are voraciously consumed and perfect for watching a wide variety of content.
- Open platforms open up possibility: Content creation isn't our business; it's yours. We wanted to create a place where anyone with a video camera, a computer, and an Internet connection could share their life, art, and voice with the world, and in many cases make a living from doing so.

POTSDAM The new Performing Arts Center at SUNY Potsdam is being built to reflect the outdoor scenes in Northen New York that inspired its architect.
The design of the $48 million building is mainly the work of architect Lorenzo Mattii, of Pfeiffer Partners Architects, who said his inspiration came from landscapes in the north country.
After going to some of the meetings by car from New York City, what we started looking at was the context of the Adirondacks nearby, Mr. Mattii said. The building is really inspired by the landscape in and around Potsdam and also portions of the Adirondacks.
One aspect of the 100,000-square-foot building that Mr. Mattii said resembled the peaks of the Adirondacks is the angles of the roof.
The roof forms look like a series of silhouettes of mountains as they recede into the atmosphere, he said. Every single time Ive walked around in the building I would find a new view, a new perspective, a new look, which I think is great for a building. I dont think anyone will get bored of it.
The project began in April 2011 and is scheduled to open next spring. The building will feature major performance spaces such as the Proscenium Theater, which seats up to 350 people; the Black Box Theater, which seats more than 200 people; and the Dance Performance Hall which also seats more than 200 people. The building will also have audio, design, education and lighting labs as well as recording studios, dance studios, costume rooms and dressing rooms. When finished, the building will have a silver certification for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
Deborah L. Dudley, director of communication for SUNY Potsdam, said Pfeiffer Partners Architects is known for designing performing arts centers and she said it was fortunate that the school was able to secure them as the architects. Ms. Dudley said the buildings design was indended to incorporate all of the different seasons in the north country.
The angles and color palette and the way the windows were placed to let in light all reference some of the natural palette throughout the seasons, she said. When its finished, youll see inside some of the summer color palette, and outside a lot of fall and winter.
Mr. Mattii said the majority of the walls in the building will be a shimmery silver, and there will be splashes of bold colors. The lobby colors will be pink, purple, red and orange, creating a warmer color palette which will be inviting to students, Mr. Mattii said.
We wanted to create a warm place where people want to hang out, but at the same time we wanted to use some of these influences that were found up in that region, he said. Specific to the Potsdam region and the Adirondacks in the winter time, when one might think that there are only grays and whites and icy cold waters to think of, theres a lot of color that just contrasts itself against those base colors of the winter.
Mr. Mattii said that although much of the design and many of the colors were inspired by car rides and imagery in the north country, he and his team spent several hours researching the area as well.
Patrick G. Reagen, construction manager, said the building will be one of the best performing arts centers in the nation.
You really dont find a facility like this outside of New York City, he said. Its state of the art.

Hi, I use VNC for remote access to users' machines but a lot of them have fetish for using the caps lock, which upsets VNC. Is there a way I can turn the damn thing off remotely?
Much Googling has not turned up a workable solution, and it drives me nuts!
cheers, Chris
Thanks for the link, but it didn't work. I should have specified that I need to be able to disable the caps lock before I attempt to log on via VNC. I tried using pstools to execute the prog remotely but it wasn't having any.
I also found a tool called klocks which was a partial success in that I could execute it remotely and it would return the status of the lock keys, but it wouldn't let me actually change them. >
I wish there was a "remotely turn off the caps lock, and then lever it off the keyboard tool"!
KBD by design is input only. So is the mouse. I don't really think the kind of software exists to disable/enable (but don't quote me on that) the caps locks.
The caps lock hey has to be set in the OS to perform it's function, I should think, so it -should- be possible to map it to do nothing.
How about taking out all the caplock keys (the node underneath) so that it won't work. If they want to type, they need to use Shift key.
Who in the heck use caplocks more than a few times anyway except the beginning of lines? :
Sadly physically removing (and burning if I had my way!) the capslock key is not an option as most of the users I support are overseas.
It's one of the applications they use that prefers text input in caps, and they just turn on the blasted caps lock and leave it on for everything. INCLUDING EMAIL. >

The CEU Golden Eagle basketball team have started the season with a pattern of win one, lose one.
They are 2-2 on the season so far. This week the win came against the Salt Lake Metro All-Stars and the loss came against Northwestern Wyoming.
The Eagles dominated the all-stars with a 112-63 drubbing on Wednesday night. On Saturday, the team fell behind early and never quite caught up with Wyoming, losing 83-77 in front of the home crowd.
On Wednesday the Metro all-stars did not put up much defense to the red hot Eagles. CEU was hitting 68 percent from the floor in the first half alone. Six Eagles were in double figures on the night. Renan Custodio lead the offensive show with 18 points. Michael Glover stuffed in 17, Jonathan Mills had 16, Jorquim Vander scored 14, Tony Dalton added 12 and Chris Mast had 11. Vander pulled in 11 rebounds as well. The team also picked the pocket of the All-Stars 14 times.
But Saturday's match-up proved to be a bit tougher on the team. Mills lead the scoring effort with 24 points and 19 rebounds to lead his team. Isiah William added 11 and was 3-4 from beyond the three point line.
The Eagles out rebounded Wyoming 47-22 and both teams hit 25-33 from the line. But from the floor it was Wyoming out-shooting CEU 51 percent to 37 percent that made the difference. It was slow start for the home town boys that really hurt them. They were behind 41-34 at the break. CEU came out in the second half and matched their opponents, but were not able to dig themselves out of the first half deficit.
This weekend the team will be up in Montana for a pair of games against Western Montana and a rematch with Northwestern Wyoming. Conference play will begin on Tuesday Nov. 24 at home against Colorado Northwestern at 7 p.m. The women will play before starting at 5:30 p.m. on the same night.

Global Cooling-Wanna Bet?
By Stefan Rahmstorf, Michael Mann, Ray Bradley, William Connolley, David Archer, and Caspar Ammann
Global cooling appears to be the "flavour of the month". First, a rather misguided media discussion erupted on whether global warming had stopped, based on the observed temperatures of the past 8 years or so (see our post). Now, an entirely new discussion is capturing the imagination, based on a group of scientists from Germany predicting a pause in global warming last week in the journal Nature (Keenlyside et al. 2008).
Specifically, they make two forecasts for global temperature, as discussed in the last paragraphs of their paper and shown in their Figure 4 (see below). The first forecast concerns the time interval 2000-2010, while the second concerns the interval 2005-2015 (*). For these two 10-year averages, the authors make the following prediction:
"… the initialised prediction indicates a slight cooling relative to 1994-2004 conditions"
Their graph shows this: temperatures in the two forecast intervals (green points shown at 2005 and 2010) are almost the same and are both lower than observed in 1994-2004 (the end of the red line in their graph).
New York Times, BBC News, Reuters, Bloomberg and so on), because of its seeming contradiction with global warming. The authors emphasise this aspect in their own media release, which was titled: Will Global Warming Take a Short Break?
That this cooling would just be a temporary blip and would change nothing about global warming goes without saying and has been amply discussed elsewhere (e.g. here). But another question has been rarely discussed: will this forecast turn out to be correct?
We think not – and we are prepared to bet serious money on this. We have double-checked with the authors: they say they really mean this as a serious forecast, not just as a methodological experiment. If the authors of the paper really believe that their forecast has a greater than 50% chance of being correct, then they should accept our offer of a bet; it should be easy money for them. If they do not accept our bet, then we must question how much faith they really have in their own forecast.
The bet we propose is very simple and concerns the specific global prediction in their Nature article. If the average temperature 2000-2010 (their first forecast) really turns out to be lower or equal to the average temperature 1994-2004 (*), we will pay them € 2500. If it turns out to be warmer, they pay us € 2500. This bet will be decided by the end of 2010. We offer the same for their second forecast: If 2005-2015 (*) turns out to be colder or equal compared to 1994-2004 (*), we will pay them € 2500 – if it turns out to be warmer, they pay us the same. The basis for the temperature comparison will be the HadCRUT3 global mean surface temperature data set used by the authors in their paper.

Red Hat flavors or Ubuntu tend to be the best overall from ease of use, retention of power, and breadth of software.
I would do this if you are looking into going linux. Before even dual booting or going cold turkey, install VMWare player and grab a Virtual Appliance of Fedora 7 and Ubuntu 7.04 and play with each. This will give you a good taste of what is available while still being able to go back to Windows instantly to do anything that is confusing or impossible with your skillset under Linux.
I may add Linspire to the list when Linspire 6 is released and get to play with it. If Freespire 2 is any indication of what to expect, Linspire is fucked

We have, by far, the best customers and fans in the entire world. Read what this Lavera user had to share with us and YOU:
Hi All Lavera Lovers! I have an insider's secret for all you Lavera Junkies. Shaving your legs during the summer can be a nightmare, even more so if you have extremely sensitive skin. On my search for a safe shaving cream I found I didn't have to look very far, I made the best discovery in my own medicine cabinet — Lavera Mens Care Shaving Cream. The name may say men on it but this shaving lotion is anything but rough and manly. I was totally excited about how smooth and even the shave cream went on. Since the shaving cream is in the Men's care line, it is designed to be sensitive enough to care for the face so it is a special treat for the legs. After using the shaving cream the skin on my legs was left feeling moisturized and smooth. I will make sure to share new exciting Lavera discoveries with you. — Katie C.

Chicago Fire
In case you didn't know by now, Saturday's Fire/Red Stars doubleheader at Toyota Park will feature a pair of cousins as Mike Magee and Jackie Santacaterina line up for their squads in front of friends, family and their hometown fans. In case you don't have tickets, click here....
Pick up Wednesday's edition of the Chicago Redeye and get the full scoop on Mike and Jackie's competitive relationship growing up, how each of them did on a soccer-themed quiz and this video where they find out how they did:
With the growth in popularity of the game in this country comes the higher knowledge of history, both good and bad, that surrounds the game we love.
Twenty-five years ago today, the Hillsborough disaster occurred in Sheffield, England, claiming the lives of 96 Liverpool FC supporters who attended the ground to see their club's FA Cup semifinal clash with Nottingham Forest.
As has become standard worldwide, supporters of the two clubs were separated to prevent any incident, with Liverpool supporters being given the Leppings Lane Stand at the west side of the ground.
Access to the stand was only possible through a few ill-repaired turnstiles and led to serious overcrowding outside of the stadium prior to kickoff of the match. Looking to ease pressure on the entry way, officials ordered an exit gate to be opened, the path through which led to a standing section that was already overcrowded.
Crushing ensued as too many fans were located in the terraces and were pinned up against a barrier meant to keep fans off the pitch. The game actually didn't even halt until the sixth minute when fans trying to escape the crush walked on to the field along with police who ordered the match to be postponed.
About an hour north of Sheffield, a 25-year-old Frank Yallop came on as a substitute in Ipswich Town's 2-2 draw at Bradford City. Having led 2-1 at halftime, the result was a disappointing one for the Tractor Boys who dropped points to a Bradford City club below them in the Second Division table.
With the game kicking off at the same time as the cup semifinal though, Yallop and his teammates didn't find out about the tragedy until after they'd come off the field at Valley Parade.
"It was terrible," Yallop recalled to Chicago-Fire.com. "I just remember the images and panic on everyone's faces. Seeing it on the news, it was really devastating to watch -- all they showed on TV was carrying people on the advertising boards to get care from the paramedics."
Perhaps the news hit a bit closer to home for those that had just completed the match at Bradford City's ground as four years earlier, it was the site of a fire that engulfed one entire stand during the final match of the 1984/85 season. That tragedy took the lives of 56, saw over 200 injured and was started by one lit cigarette discarded underneath the all-wooden stand.
The Bradford City fired occurred just weeks before another stadium crush in a match involving Liverpool occurred at the 1985 European Cup final at Heysel Stadium in Belgium. On that day, 39 people, most of which were supporters of Italian side Juventus, lost their lives and resulted in English clubs being banned from European competition indefinitely.
Perhaps in part because of the Heysel incident, many pointed the blame for the crush at Hillsborough on Liverpool supporters. Claims of drunkenness and fans without tickets trying to gain entry into the ground were bothgiven as contributing factors for the incident. In the end, the Taylor Report (published in 1990) found the main factor to Hillsborough to be failure of police control.
More recent inquiries from the Hillsborough Independent Panel exonerated Liverpool supporters of wrong doing in the incident, placing the blame squarely on public safety officials.
"It was sad because people had gotten to the game early to see a semifinal," Yallop said. "From mistakes made by the police, 96 people lose their lives. It's a tragic accident."
The Taylor Report's main recommendation saw stadiums in the UK made to be all-seater in order to make crowd control easier and safer, which greatly reduced the capacity of many stadiums in the country.
Twenty-five years on from Hillsborough, tributes from clubs and supporters around the world have poured in and tonight ESPN's "30 for 30" documentary series tackles the events at Hillsborough (7pm CT on ESPN). ESPN's Keith Olbermann spoke to Director Daniel Gordon about the film on Monday:
It's part of the magic of footy mythology that even with 22 players on the field, every game seems to center around the actions of a few trolls or the one great Prince. The other 20 or so characters stay in the background. But what makes the mythology live and move through time is that inevitably the seemingly inconsequential side characters develop their own story.
In Chicago, right now, that story is Quincy Amarikwa. For five years, his role in the fight scene was as a spear-holding extra, stabbing at people now and then as the camera panned by overhead. But now, the guy is hot. He's wearing face paint and screaming at people from his horse. I mean he's not only, finally, getting a run of starts, but he's already matched his top goals number in April. He's got not one but two hashtags of his own, he's running an internet marketing consultant business, he's teaching Sparky how to do laundry, and he's even risen to Fantasy fame.
After another goal in the Battle of the Franks in Montreal, people all over the league are taking notice. Not that Amarikwa is hiding. That's not his style. Saturday's matchup against former manager Frank Klopas brought a lot of cute nostalgic quotes, but Amarikwa was the only one who cut through the platitudes, saying, "Obviously it was nice to show him why I should have played more last year."
It's something that Amarikwa is used to, this approach of proving yourself. In a recent interview, he explained his approach as a substitute: You got five minutes to prove it, so prove it. Maybe that's why his substitute appearances were always marked by an almost impossible level of energy, physicality, hustle, and pace. He might only have five minutes, but he would bust those five minutes apart.
You can see as much in highlights from his past appearances. Turning guys, taking people on, ripping shots - no matter who the great Prince was in a particular game, Amarikwa demanded your attention. He was jumping in front of the camera, demanding his own scene. In San Jose, Colorado, and Toronto, fans loved the guy because he scared opponents - he's direct, pesky, tireless, sharp elbowed, and jacked. In his long haired days he looked like a Samoan rugby player. With his low center of gravity, giant thighs, and changes of direction, he now resembles an NFL fullback.
The problem was goals. Amarikwa was never a prolific scorer. Scoring 4 goals in 5 seasons as a striker isn't enough to get yourself a starting job.
And so, for five years, his MLS job description read something like this: "Impact substitute, sparkplug; i.e. ability to change game and create chances - not necessarily the one to take those chances."
That is, until last year, when Amarikwa was already on his way to dropping the spear and grabbing his own horse. The two bikes against Montreal (HE BIKES WHEN HE WANTS) may have been overshadowed by the excruciating miss in Toronto in September, but he continued to impress. His scoring rate per 90 minutes shot upwards.
Instead of contributing intangibles, he was contributing goals. The flying side volley against RSL helped turn the Fire's season around, and looking back now, it feels like an apt little analogy for his career so far. Because at first glance you watch it and you say, ok, a nice athletic goal late in a game, those are important. Good work. But then you watch the replay and you realize just how quick, how airborne, how technical the finish was. And you say to yourself, wait a minute, wow, that's a real goal scorer's goal.
This year, Amarikwa has started the season with three goals and an assist in five starts. He's the hottest player in the squad. And with manager Frank Yallop rewarding players' good form with minutes, Amarikwa is currently keeping DP Juan Luis Anangono on the bench.
It looks like Amarikwa found the efficacy he was lacking. He's transformed his old five minute blitz - all fight, opportunism, and "eff you" - into a 90 minute attack. It's the step we all wanted, and his mouthwatering partnership with Mike Magee is only just beginning.
What it means is that now, suddenly, the former side character Amarikwa isn't only creeping into the Prince's stories. He's developing a myth of his own.

#QuincyTime continued to take on a life of its own on this weekend when Fire forward Quincy Amarikwa scored the 54th minute equalizer in a 1-1 draw at Montreal on Saturday.
With the goal, Amarikwa has already equaled his total for the whole of 2013 just six matches into this season and has been involved in a goal in five of those games. Just to take it one further, Amarikwa has five goals and one assist in his last eight Fire appearances dating back to October 4 last season.
He started only five of those games.
So while the Fire are still winless in six matches (but unbeaten in five), Amarikwa seems to be the revelation early on this season. With the Fire having given up seven goals from dead ball sequences before Saturday, it was nice to see Amarikwa bury a set piece second ball for the Fire for a change.
One more look…
And for the second time this season, Quincy brought out the #cf97NaeNae to celebrate…
An MLS journeyman who's calling card has been coming off the bench, Amarikwa scored just four goals in his first 67 MLS matches but with six goals in the last year, he's already doubled his career goal total in 20 games with the Fire. As he continues to show efficiency on the field, I posed this question on Twitter Saturday…
It's still early but just wondering, could @QuincyAmarikwa score double digits this year? #cf97
— Jeff Crandall (@jefecrandall) April 12, 2014
What do you think are the reasons for Amarikwa's turnaround with the Fire? Will he become the eighth Fire player to hit double-digit goals by year's end? Give me your thoughts below!
Whether you like having just a few libations with some of the club's most ardent supporters, enjoy the beautiful landscapes of rural Indiana, Michigan and Missouri, or just really like seeing the Chicago Fire play away from home, Section 8 On Tour Bus Trips (#S8OT) have something for everyone.
Returning this year, the Independent Supporters Association is offering all Fire supporters an away season ticket, which guarantees round trip bus fare and match tickets for this season's Fire away games in Columbus (May 24), Kansas City (July 6) and Toronto (August 23) for just $200.
While the execution of an Away Season Ticket isn't something new to Section 8 Chicago, it does return for the first time in a number of years because of the way the MLS schedule fell for the club's three closest away trips according to ISA Chairman Jeff Marinacci.
"The stars aligned for us," he told Chicago-Fire.com this week. "When we saw the schedule, having Toronto on a summer weekend makes it an easy sell. Though Columbus or Kansas City are good road games, Toronto just offers so much more, the trip is worth doing outside of just going to watch a match."
- PURCHASE: 2014 Section 8 Chicago Away Trip Ticket
Toronto nightlife no doubt has more to offer than Kansas City or Columbus but what Marinacci is referring to is the fact that the past few seasons, the team has played away in Toronto at midweek in September, making it difficult to coordinate a strong contingent of Fire supporters to travel by bus.
This year the Columbus and Toronto trips both fall on Saturdays, while the Kansas City trip falls on the Sunday of Independence Day weekend making the travel much easier all around.
As they do on all buses, Section 8 Chicago is subsidizing an additional $35 per person on the 2014 Away Season Ticket on top of the $50 subsidy provided for individual bus travel to these matches.
"Our commitment to spending our money is to support the guys on the field home and away," he said.
A great deal no doubt, not what if someone buying can only make it on one or two of the trips instead of the full complement of three? Marinacci said that while there is no partial away season ticket (and no refunds), the ISA will accommodate ticket transfers as coordinated through firstname.lastname@example.com.
Now through mid-May (when bus tickets for the Columbus trip will cut off), Section 8 Chicago is in a heavy push to sell the Away Season Ticket for the year. As part of that push, the ISA will be raffling one off during Saturday's Watch Party at A.J. Hudsons.
Next Saturday, the ISA will raffle off a second Away Season Ticket, purchased by the Club, at their tailgate in the north lot prior to the Chicago Fire/New England Revolution match.

Ahead of Saturday's clash at Montreal's Olympic Stadium, neither Fire head coach Frank Yallop or the Impact's Frank Klopas will be happy with their team's defensive efforts five matches into the season, though they may have varying opinions about the number of goals their teams have produced.
See below the spots on the field both the Fire and Impact have scored and conceded from heading into Saturday's game:
|Goals Scored: 8
|Goals Against: 9
|Run of Play: 4
|Run of Play: 2
|Dead Ball/Set Piece Sequence: 4
|Dead Ball/Set Piece Sequence: 7
|Penalty Kick: 1, Corner Kick 2, Free Kick 1

|Goals Scored: 5

After a heartbreaking draw against the Union last weekend, the Fire travel north to Montreal to face another side looking for a first win of the season Saturday (2:30pm CT on My50/TWCSC). The game has added spice with former coach Frank Klopas facing the Men in Red for the first time as opposition coach.
Here are a few tactical observations to keep in mind on Saturday.
Continued focus on the wing play - taking advantage of Shipp's positioning
In last Saturday's match, Patrick Nyarko returned to the starting lineup and impressed. On the other side of the field, Harry Shipp looks much more comfortable when he cuts inside, as opposed to hugging the touchline and taking on players.
Shipp's set piece play alone is worth a place in the starting eleven, but his ability to pick a pass is also a dangerous weapon. Shipp's tendency to drift inside also benefits the Fire for other reasons.
First, in the absence of a creative central midfielder, it's not felt as much when the rookie comes central and occupies those positions. Against a team like Montreal that boasts an impressive attack, the use of two defensive-minded midfielders can be necessary (as I will explain in more detail later) but with Shipp filling the gap, the Fire don't lose much in an attacking sense.
Shipp's positioning also opens the door for Greg Cochrane to show his attacking talents from the left back position. Cochrane has fit seamlessly into the Fire back line and his excellent crossing ability has been on show in recent matches.
With the Impact's wide players like Mapp reluctant to track back on a consistent basis, the Fire could again benefit from attacking in the wide areas.
Continuing to win the ball high up the field - catching Montreal in transition
In the first half last week against New York, the Impact sliced through the Red Bull midfield as if they had three extra players on the pitch. Klopas emphasized transitioning the ball from defense to attack as quickly as possible and for most of the first half, that worked to devastating effect.
Montreal should've been well ahead at halftime but actually went into the break behind 2-1. The reason for this was because the Canadian team was caught trying to force the ball forward too quickly, resulting in turnovers, which the Red Bulls capitalized on twice in three minutes. I expect the Impact to try this tactic again on Saturday.
- INFOGRAPHIC: Where Fire and Impact are scoring, conceding from
Players like Mike Magee and Quincy Amarikwa both like to hound the opposing team when they are in possession in their defensive third. The Fire's first goal last week was a perfect example of this, with Amarikwa nicking the ball from a defender before setting up Magee for an easy tap in.
If the Fire can force the Impact into turnovers high up the pitch, it could prove costly for the Canadian team.
Attempting to contain Montreal's fearsome attack - staying compact and limiting mental mistakes
Just when we thought an attack featuring Marco Di Vaio, an in-form Justin Mapp and Felipe was going to be a challenge, the Impact went out and acquired promising American youngster Jack McInerney.
This move could see the Impact change formation to a two striker statute with Di Vaio and Jack Mac up front or see McInerney play in one of the wide attacking roles behind the target striker. In any case, the fluidity of the Impact's attack will be a major challenge for the Fire to contend with on Saturday.
None of the Montreal attacking players stay static for long, with Felipe essentially having a free role in the hole, Di Vaio often pushing wide, and Mapp cutting inside with the ball at his feet on a regular basis. With this in mind, the Fire defense needs to stay organized and compact and not allow Montreal to drag players out of position.
This has not been a problem for the Fire this season, with most of the team's nine goals against coming from lapses from set pieces. A clean sheet Saturday afternoon would be a massive achievement.
Prediction: The Fire score early and finish the game off late 2-0 with goals from Magee and Hurtado.
Stephen Piggott is a contributor to Chicago-Fire.com. Follow him on Twitter @irish_steve.
The Chicago Fire Reserves ran out 4-0 winners over Marquette Sunday morning at Toyota Park. First teamers, Juan Luis Anangono, Victor Pineda and Orr Barouch all chipped in goals but perhaps the best was Academy product Andrew Gutman's combination with Qudus Lawal on the left to take things to 3-0 in the in 75th minute.
Catch that goal 20 seconds into the video below:
Mike Magee (a great dancer) can redirect a cross like it's nobody's business.
In this edition of slow it down, Quincy Amarikwa (also a great dancer), picks Amobi Okugo's pocket with flying colors, runs the ball down the field and crosses to Magee... you know the rest.
Voice of the Fire Dan Kelly put it best by describing Magee's play on the goal as being like, "A shifty little feline after a seven hour nap." You may be confused after reading this, but I promise after you watch the video below, it should all make sense. (unlike the duo's dance moves)
Let's slow it down!
Mike Magee will tell you he should have had at least two goals on Saturday.
Whether it was finishing on that awkward back and forth play that saw him with an open look at goal while Sheanon Williams was down in the box in the 88th minute or the game-ending penalty and rebound save from Zach MacMath at the death, the fans and he himself feel like he should have had another.
And it's not necessarily easy to point that out about Magee but thankfully, he tweeted this yesterday:
1st tweet after last nights game was always gonna be awkward so let's get it over with. I will make up for that! Mind if I move on? #cf97
— Mike Magee (@magee9) April 6, 2014
So now that that's out of the way, it's worth noting something else: Mike Magee did open his 2014 Fire account off a great feed from Quincy Amarikwa in the 16th minute Saturday. That goal was a small milestone as it pushed Magee inside the Top 15 (actually tied for 14th place) on the club's all-time goal scoring list with Lubos Kubik and Cuauhtemoc Blanco at 16 (MLS Regular Season) and 19 (All Competitions) goals respectively.
You took a pause real quick right there and realized that the Fire have only had 16 players hit those numbers over the course of 17 years. Now you realize that the club hasn't really had a consistent goal scorer over multiple seasons since the likes of Ante Razov, Josh Wolff and Damani Ralph came through.
There's no doubt that Magee got to those odd milestones quicker than Blanco or Kubik but he also beats Razov, Wolff and Ralph to those numbers by a considerable margin...
The tables:
MLS Regular Season Goals - Fastest to 16
|GP to 16 Goals
|Total Fire Goals
|Mike Magee
|Ante Razov
|Josh Wolff
|Damani Ralph
|Brian McBride
|Dominic Oduro
|Hristo Stoitchkov
|Dema Kovalenko
|Chris Rolfe
|2005-09; 2012-14
|Cuauhtemoc Blanco
|Lubos Kubik
|Nate Jaqua
|Chad Barrett
|Piotr Nowak
|Marco Pappa
|Jesse Marsch
Fire All Competitions Goals - Fastest to 19
|GP to 19 Goals
|All Competitions Goals
|Mike Magee
|Josh Wolff
|Ante Razov
|Damani Ralph
|Dema Kovalenko
So while you could probably go back in Magee's short Fire tenure (he hasn't even been here a calendar year) and point to a few more opportunities that would see his goal total even higher, he's still on a record scoring clip for the Fire.
And Mike, keep your head up after that penalty kick save. We expect to see lots more of these celebrations this season:

text: This listing is for a set of 4 pieces great for decorating the 1960's look. They need to be cleaned, but I did not want to destroy the paper labels. There is some crazing, but no real damage. They are really adorable and scream mid century and mad men with the retro pink and daises. They have the Eva Zeisel flair. The covered dish measures a bit over 8 inches. The pedestal dish is 4 inches tall and 7 1/4 long. The two part divided dish is 9.5 long by 6.5 wide. Very nice!
