NEWPORT–It wasn't the prettiest win in the history of North Country boys soccer, but it was definitely an important one, as the Falcons defeated Lyndon 2-1 to start the season 1-0 in 2013.
"It was important to start off on a good foot," said North Country coach James McKenny. "Obviously every year you want to start with a "W." It could have been a prettier brand of soccer, obviously it was a little rough out there."

The city purchased the existing truck, a used 1987 Pierce, 10 years ago. It carries equipment and firefighters to scenes. However, the truck is aging, is not reliable, and needs extensive repairs. The truck has 226,000 miles and 107,000 hours of driving on it. If it were a traditional over-the-road vehicle, it would have over a million miles, LeClair said.

JAY – Jay Peak Resort was not accepted into the pilot program that would have allowed the resort to pay for extra officers at the Canadian/U.S. Port of Entry inspection station.
Visitors coming from Canada sometimes wait about a half hour or more at the North Troy Port of Entry on their way to the resort. Just over half of skiers at Jay Peak are from Canada, resort co-owner Bill Stenger reports. Stenger attempted to enter the pilot program, even though it would have cost him thousands to pay for more customs officers.

In the fall of 2004, Alex Klein and I grabbed Kyle Leeper, Fred Gall and Omar Salazar and went to the U.K. for a fun 10 day trip that started in London and ended in Edinburgh, Scotland. We hooked up with local Blueprint skaters at the time Colin Kennedy, Mark Baines, Neil Chester, Neil Smith. It was the first time I ever met Omar and Fred Gall and what better way to get know someone than being crammed into a tiny hotel room in a foreign country for 10 days. We all got a long and had a killer time. And guess who was the most productive? Fucking Freddy Gall that's who. And congrats to Freddy who just tied the knot and got married! Check back next Thursday for more old photos. —Jaime Owens

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Las Vegas police said charges have not been filed against the two men who are accused of throwing rocks at a beehive that swarmed a neighborhood and stung several people.
Nine people had to receive medical treatment and three were transported to the hospital.
It happened just before 5:30 p.m. on Monday outside of an apartment complex on Topaz and East Tropicana.
One woman was attacked so badly, witnesses said she collapsed in the street.
"It was horrifying, it was very horrifying," said one witness. "She got stung so many times. If I got stung that many times, I'd be dead on the spot."
Ladella Wall saw the whole thing and couldn't believe what was happening. She called 911.
"I've never seen nothing like that," she said. "Like I said, only in the horror movies, you know. You know how you see them swarm, that's what it was and the bees were from head to toe. I mean, you could hardly see her face or anything."
Clark County firefighters responded in full protective gear and police shut down the street for nearly a couple of hours.
One day later, pieces of the hive are still on the ground with a few bees buzzing around it. A lot of neighbors, though, like Ladella are too worried to go near it.
"I'm too afraid," she said.
Officials won't release the condition of that woman who was attacked.

To Kill a Mockingbirdby Harper Lee
Staff Pick
This is a book that still resonates more than 45 years after being published. After reading it again and again, I am still moved by the power and humanity of the story. Atticus Finch, a small-town lawyer, is one of those quiet heroes who fights for the underdog. Scout, his daughter (and the narrator), unveils her neighbors' hypocrisy in their attitudes toward people of a different color, different economic status, different religion, and those who are disabled. When someone tells me they haven't read this book, I am always surprised, and I encourage them to read it SOON! Our world has changed immensely since 1935, when this story takes place, but there is still injustice and rampant hatred. Reading or rereading To Kill a Mockingbird reminds us that all people need to be treated with respect.
While To Kill a Mockingbird is a favorite book of pretty much everyone who has read it, it's important to remember that it continues to be subversive and challenging to the status quo. The protagonist is a young girl named Scout and except for her father, all the main characters in the book are marginalized by the power structure of their town — a structure that still exists nearly everywhere — where wealthy white men control the lives of everyone else, and even the members of that group who want to use their status for something honorable, like Scout's father Atticus, cannot win against the flattening wave of that power. Until something about that structure really changes, this book will remain required reading for every person in America.
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Publisher Comments:
Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep South — and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred.
One of the best-loved stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than thirty million copies worldwide, served as the basis of an enormously popular motion picture, and was voted one of the best novels of the twentieth century by librarians across the country. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father — a crusading local lawyer — risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
From Our Staff:
If you're going to write only one novel, this is the novel to write! To say that To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the great American novels doesn't do it justice. If you've never read it, read it. If you read it in high school, read it again! I guarantee that what you take from it as an adult will be even better and more meaningful than what you took from it the first time around. Brilliant!
"It's one of the finest books ever written. The quiet heroism of Atticus Finch and the honesty of his children Jem and Scout as they face prejudice in the American South of the 1930s still ring true. If it's been a while since you read it, read it again." Sessalee Hensley
"That rare literary phenomenon, a Southern novel with no mildew on its magnolia leaves. Funny, happy and written with unspectacular precision, To Kill a Mockingbird is about conscience — how it is instilled in two children, Scout and Jem Finch; how it operates in their father, Atticus a lawyer appointed to defend a Negro on a rape charge, and how conscience crows in their small Alabama town." Vogue
"A first novel of such rare excellence that it will no doubt make a great many readers slow down to relish more fully its simple distinction...A novel of strong contemporary national significance." Chicago Tribune
"Novelist Lee's prose has an edge that cuts through cant, and she teaches the reader an astonishing number of useful truths about little girls and about Southern life." Time
One of the best-loved stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has earned many distinctions since its original publication in 1960. It won the Pulitzer Prize, has been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than thirty million copies worldwide, and been made into an enormously popular movie. Most recently, librarians across the country gave the book the highest of honors by voting it the best novel of the twentieth century.
About the Author
Nelle Harper Lee was born on April 28, 1926 in Monroeville Alabama, which produced two world-renowned authors in the same generation. Harper Lee was the grade school classmate of the young Truman Capote, with whom she maintained a friendship well into adulthood. (In 1966 Capote dedicated In Cold Blood to her). The youngest of four children of Amasa Coleman Lee and Frances Finch Lee, Harper attended Huntingdon College 1944-45, studied law at University of Alabama 1945-49, and spent a year at Oxford University. In the 1950s she moved to New York City where, after working briefly as an airline reservation clerk, she decided to focus exclusively on her writing. She moved into a cold-water flat and began writing To Kill a Mockingbird. In 1957 she submitted the manuscript to the J. B. Lippincott Company and was told that her novel read too much like a series of loosely connected short stories. She spent the next two and a half years revising the book and in 1960 it was published to widespread acclaim, winning the Pulitzer Prize and thousands of devoted readers.

Portuguese fried donuts
By Louisa Neumann in New Food and Packaging on Thursday 3 March 2011
Occasionally we come across something so exceptionally delicious that we can't get it out of our mind. Our latest obsession is the malasada from Leonard's Bakery's in Honolulu, Hawaii. Leonard's has been churning out these Portuguese fried donuts since 1952 – that longevity alone is something to celebrate.
Mmmmm, beer? Walgreens Private Label
By Louisa Neumann in New Food and Packaging on Saturday 12 February 2011
Shopping for prescription drugs and cheap beer just got a little easier! Walgreens drugstores just launched their own canned brew, which is now available in about half of their 7,655 stores across the US. At just 50 cents a can and $2.99 for a 6-pack (that's right!) it just got a whole lot cheaper to drink your sorrows away. That's at least half as expensive as most bottled waters (is that even ethical?). In fact, we think it's cheaper than not drinking at all.

Cacao in Portland, Oregon

Taking tips, chasing leads, and solving problems
Walmart loses customer's keys, initially refuses to replace locks
Milwaukee resident Evelyn Newbon recently moved, so last week, she went to Walmart at 401 E. Capitol Dr. to have some extra keys made to her apartment.
When she showed up to pick up the keys, she found out that the employee who was cutting them lost her originals.
Walmart offered to give Newbon the copies for free, but she wasn't happy with that. The employee didn't have her address, but she felt uncomfortable with her original keys circulating who knows where. So she asked a manager at Walmart if the company would pay a locksmith to change the locks on her apartment door.
"I don't feel comfortable at all," she told me earlier this week. "I can't sleep at night. There's not a lock in the world that will keep someone out. Having said that, these days you don't have to advertise your address. People can very easily find out where you live."
The manager wouldn't agree to pay for a locksmith to change the locks.
"What was suggested to me is that I have the landlord pay for a locksmith to change the lock on my door. I said to this lady, 'That's ludicrous because he shouldn't have to pay for something your employee did,'" she said. "He's to be held accountable, not me or my landlord."
The Public Investigator contacted Walmart Monday about Newbon's complaint. Later that day, another manager agreed that Walmart would pay for new locks to be put on Newbon's apartment door. The locks were changed Monday.

Reordering the "today" list.
I used to be able to reorder the "today" list according to my schedule, regardless of priority. This is how I need to use Todoist and it was great!
Now (I think after the upgrade), I can reorder, but as soon as I add another task for "today", it automatically sorts them all by priority, and I have to redo my order. NOT good!
The following topic says that this was completed, but now it seems to have been at least partially uncompleted... http://todoist.com/Vote/showProposal/64/
Can you help??
Thank you!
All responses
We're currently fixing this behavior as it should not be possible to reorder tasks with a priority on the today view. It was indeed possible for a while, but caused a lot of issues that couldn't be reproduced.
If you need to maintain a certain task order on the today view, please use due times such as "today at 13:20" and it will affect their display order. Alternatively, you can change the priorities to push some tasks to the bottom of the list.
Best regards,
Hi David,
It definitely SHOULD still be possible to reorder the tasks however you want. I know multiple people who use this strategy to craft their day, but for tasks that there is no specific time for. The color coding of the priorities helps you visualize the breakup of your day. For example, many many times a high-priority task will not have a time, but a no-priority task (like a meeting) will, and that meeting should be above the high-priority task when you look at the layout of your day. Please consider this simple logic as this adjustment has completely ruined the today view for me (and the entire ability for me to use Todoist to run my schedule).
Thank you! - Ross
+1 Ross's feelings.
If I can't reorder my tasks for today manually, I'll stop my Todoist subscription. It's a make-it-or-break-it feature for me.
I bet a significant portion of your user base feels the same way.
+1 here.
I've discussed here: http://todoist.com/Support_Android/showQuestion/583/, but I will repeat - this is not just a nice feature to have. It's necessary, and a complete deal breaker if Todoist has really decided to drop this functionality because the developer couldn't work out the sorting algorithm. There are plenty of developers out here who would be more than willing to assist.
Anyway, please confirm whether this is an official Todoist decision. I will wait before cancelling my premium subscription.
+1. Simple "drag to set order" is what I want.
Maybe there should be a "manual" sort order for those of us who prefer it.
Or you could have the dragging set the time via some sliding timeline when you move the task between two tasks. Like drag a task between meeting that ends at 2:00 and a something else that starts at 4:00 you could give us a timeline to drop it on between 2:00 and 4:00.
On the Android I can drag to set the order, but as soon as I release, it springs back to where it was.
i have the same problem recently and it's very annoying! being able to reorder my daily tasks the way i want to is a very important feature for me (and apparently other people too)! please please bring it back!
i really love todoist, i'm just considering going premium, and i already recommended it to a bunch of people too, really it was the perfect todo app for me, especially now with the sharing features... but ending the reordering possibility could be a huge dealbreaker... you guys have been doing a perfect job, please don't screw it up!!
Yes, this is critical functionality. As of today, I can reorder via in the web UI with drag & drop and the new order is reflected in the Android app. But reordering in the Android app is still broken. Please bring it back.
Yes - not having this functionality is annoying and the only disappointment I have found of using TD Premium online. The browser version could perhaps have "order alphabetically" and "move up" "move down" on projects and tasks. Obviously sub projects and sub tasks should move with the parent project. For fast paced multitaskers this would really help daily productivity.
+1, really annoying when I manually reorder and it keeps reverting.
+1 on the ability to order tasks
Yep, I wanna add a +1 here too. Being able to re-order tasks in today view regardless of priority would be BIG for me. My schedule is very erratic, and sometimes it makes sense to action lower priority tasks before high priority tasks, depending on what's happening in a day. At the moment I'm having to change the priority of tasks constantly so that I can have my todo list in the order I want it, which is very time consuming and more or less undermines the prioritisation feature as every task inevitably gets marked as high priority as to fix this. PLEASE fix this so we can have it back to the way it used to be - the way it should be!
Seems that this still hasn't been fixed. Any update (staff)?
It's not possible to reorder tasks outside their priority groups on the today list. We may consider changing this in the future, though.
I would agree that I should be able to set the order in which tasks display regardless of their time they are due or the priority. I should be able to decide what order I want to do my tasks in. And priority is used differently by different people, so ordering based on that may make sense to some, but not to others. It's also annoying when a task that has a due time set (for the afternoon), hangs out at the top of the list, even though it's one of the last things I need to do for the day. And I really don't want to have to assign times to all of my tasks, because my day is too chaotic.
Come on, Doist team! The feedback is pretty clear on this. We need something better than "may consider changing this in the future".
Yeah, me too. I want to arrange my lists however I want - regardless of time or priority. Make it much easier to plan out my day...
"I'm going to do task A (low priority) while I'm "getting into" my day, then task C (high priority) before my meeting at 11:30am..."
Sounds like most of us want to be able to plan our days this way and drag our task list to reflect this.
I would like to able to rearrange my tasks regardless of time or priority.
Nonetheless, for me today it isn't even possible to rearrange my tasks inside their priority group! Tasks rearrange automatically after a while.
This is most evident with recurring tasks. Say I make cold calls every day at 1pm. Today I had a lunch meeting and I need to make my cold calls after a few more tasks, later in the afternoon. I can't change the time to 4pm to rearrange my tasks, because then Todoist thinks I need to do that task every day at 4pm instead of 1pm. I need to drag and drop it later in my day.
What is the status of this? There are so many threads requesting that we just be able to have a custom 'today' view in which we can drag and drop the order of items and it be saved in that view. This order should be able to be saved regardless of recurring, dates, times, priorities, parent tasks, etc. Some people's days move faster and are more chaotic than others. For those of us in this situation, we need to be able to adjust our overall view of the day's tasks to accommodate such inevitable changes. So, why not just allow for a custom ordering of today/overdue items to be resorted and saved.
Or, is there a work around, possibly a custom filter? (And adding due times is not a viable solution.)
We're all begging for it. See the comments here (just one of many other threads):
Any updates? Comments? Answers? Anything?
Unfortunately, we're currently not working on an option to reorder today's tasks outside their priority groups right now, but we may consider it in the future.
In the past, such option was available, but was very unreliable so we've disabled it after lots of requests to have the priority order stick in these views, but again - we'll consider looking into this again in the future and see if we can implement a solution that won't break the current sorting while allowing completely custom task order.
Like everyone else, I am constantly reordering tasks in Today to reflect my changing priorities/abilities. It's infuriating to have to fight the Todoist system throughout the day!
I also need to reorder task in Today view! Please work on making this possible!
This is real poor functionality. Simple to do list: is visual.
The first thing and most important thing is the one on the top
The second most important is the second one from the top.
Please tell me we can reorder
Is there a way to reorder our list
I really want this as well. Although I understand it's hard to have a good default while allowing us to customize this order.

A long time enthusiast of Renaissance history, Paul Kearney uses his extensive knowledge of the historical period as well as his own personal experiences to create the world of the The Monarchies of God, a land rich in the tradition of war and religious strife. Kearney brings a new crispness to his detailed and extravagant description of the people, places and events as well as clear understanding of the political and social climate in Ramusia, a group of kingdoms where the Blessed Ramusio is worshiped.
A detailed map outlines the Monarchies of God, five separate but allied countries patterned losely after Medieval Europe. Fimbria, patterned somewhat after Rome, once held sway over all of these kingdoms, building great cities and accomplishing great things, but now stands apart, refusing to acknowledge religious leaders (described somewhat like our own Roman Catholic clergy), who have an unhealthy amount of power over both church and state. The Order of the Blessed Ramusio is headed by High Pontiff Macrobius, although it is the Prelates of each kingdom and their watchdogs, the Inceptines, whose abuse of power culminates in the genocide of the Dwoemer folk, users of magic, some merely folk medicines, as well as immigrant people whose blood is not "pure." Prelate Himerius of Hebrion tricks a young and inexperienced King Abeleyn into signing an edict, the consequences of which he is unaware.
In a situation gone far out of control, King Abeleyn attempts to save some lives by chartering a voyage at the request of his less than honest cousin Murad. Murad has information concerning a legendary western continent and would start a colony there in his cousin's name. Abeleyn signs the charter with the condition that the colonists be Dwoemer folk. Ship owner Richard Hawkwood accepts the charter with grave misgivings, because it gives him the chance to rescue most of his men, who have been taken prisoner because of their race. With odd passengers and even stranger cargo, the Grace of God and the Gabrian Osprey set sail with no particular destination, only vague directions from the King's cousin Murad, who is in charge of the expedition. Only he is aware of the morbid history behind this voyage and the danger involved.
On board, a powerful mage named Bardolyn shields a young girl named Griel, a shape shifter, lest her darker were-like alter ego gain control, thereby putting the entire ship at risk. Another odd incident is the last minute boarding of an Inceptine priest, presumably sent as a spy for the Prelate.
On the other side of the world, meanwhile, the holy city of Aekir and home of the High Pontiff is overrun by the dreaded Merduks, an enemy that attacks from the south and can only be compared to the Mongol hordes. Among the pitifully few survivors is Corfe, a soldier separated from his leader, who is now dead, and also from his wife, who has been taken prisoner to join the concubines of the Sultan of the Merduks. Feeling guilty for his life, Corfe prays that his Heria is dead and beyond the not so tender ministrations of the Merduks. Now he uses the life he has been left to help a blinded old priest and his wounded assistant. Upon arriving in Ormann Dyke, the last line of defense in this gruesome war, the pontiff is recognised and Corfe is given a position of authority for his experience.
Back at the religious center of Charibon, Himerius is elected High Pontiff when Macrobius is believed to be dead. This is the beginning of a scourge like never before. When the Kings meet, King Abeleyn of Hebrion, King Mark of Astarac and King Lofantyr of Torunna,an already critically wounded country, stand together against Himerius the Pretender, having heard that Macrobius lives. In a land already under attack from without, this decision by three of the Kings threatens to put Ramusia at war against itself. The loner state of Fimbria stands behind the three rebels.
Hawkwood's Voyage takes a reader far deeper into the story than
just the voyage or even the war. Kearney's technical descriptions are near overwhelming to the casual reader, but those
who enjoy well-planned battle action on land and on sea will find this a very worthwhile read and look forward to the sequel.

MLS Regular Season
It all comes down to Saturday. With one game remaining in the 2012 MLS Regular Season, the Fire host D.C. United Saturday, Oct. 27 at 3:00 p.m. CT (NBC Sports Network), the meat of the tripleheader sandwich.
While the Fire have clinched a spot in the post season, Saturday's match is crucial for seeding purposes. With a victory, the Men in Red, currently in third place, will take sole possession of second place. With a loss, the Fire could find themselves as low as fifth place.
Though two-time German World Cup veteran Arne Friedrich is experiencing playoff soccer for the first time in his career, he understands the implications of Saturday's match.
"Our one goal is to win the game," said Friedrich.
One of the keys to victory for the Fire will be making sure to get the ball to forward Chris Rolfe. With teams now choosing to man-mark Rolfe, he told MLSsoccer.com that "It's been a little bit more of a challenge finding the ball."
Another key storyline for Saturday will be the battle between the Fire's Austin Berry and D.C. United's Nick DeLeon, two of the front-runners for the Rookie of the Year race. The former college teammates have been enjoying the campaigns put together by their respective clubs.
"I was dying laughing," said Berry about D.C. United's video in which DeLeon says, "I eat defenders for breakfast."
Berry and his centerback partner Arne Friedrich both made Brian Straus and the Sporting News' short list for the highly-anticipated year end awards.
With both head coach Frank Klopas and striker Sherjill MacDonald imploring fans to get in the stands early Saturday, 'keeper Sean Johnson stopped by WGN Wednesday morning to discuss the importance of home field advantage at Toyota Park, so make sure to get in early and spur your Men in Red on to victory.
With one game left and all to play for, there's no doubt that Saturday's game against D.C. United (LIVE 3pm CT on NBC Sports Network) is the the Fire's biggest game of the season to date. A win and the team finishes in second place in the Eastern conference and enjoys home field advantage for the Conference Semis. A loss or tie against DC and the Fire's destiny is out of their own hands, with a place between third and fifth in the cards. That being said, lets look at some tactical points for the big match.
Andy Najar - don't fool me twice
Andy Najar's coming out party as a right back was against the Fire in August when he put in a Man of the Match performance in a 4-2 win at RFK Stadium. Najar should start at right back again Saturday afternoon and the Fire will need to a much better job of containing him this time out. Against the Columbus Crew last week, Najar pushed forward constantly and provided an outlet for DC on the right. Columbus allowed Najar far too much room and he duly obliged by looking to cross the ball whenever possible.
WATCH: Fire vs. United Preview
D.C.'s midfielders look to switch the field of play to the advanced Najar whenever possible, something the Fire must look out for. For all his attacking prowess however, Najar can get caught too far up the field, something the left side tandem of Gonzalo Segares and Patrick Nyarko will be looking to exploit if the opportunity arises.
Stopping United from playing our game - target striker
D.C. sets up in a similar way to the Fire, namely with a target striker with an attacking mid/second striker playing just behind him. Against Columbus last week, Maicon Santos played just behind target man Lionard Pajoy. The partnership is still in its infancy, but should continue from the start on Saturday afternoon.
Against Columbus, Pajoy and Cesar did not combine well, often drifting too far from one another to effectively link up. DC's wide men, Chris Pontius and Nick DeLeon, did their best to move central and support Pajoy whenever possible. Both of the wide players tendency to move inside caught Columbus short handed on a few occasions, especially when one of the wide men failed to drop back.
D.C. are not a team blessed with many creative players who look to take on their opponents, especially without Dwayne De Rosario. If the Fire can cut the supply line to Pajoy and force United to resort to trying to take them on it will work to the Men in Red's advantage.
D.C.'s midfield - attacking through the middle
Similar to the Fire, United set up with two holding midfielders, Perry Kitchen and Marcelo Saragosa. In last week's game against Columbus, both players were exposed by some neat interplay between the Columbus midfielders who quite simply passed the ball around Kitchen and Saragosa at times, especially in the first half.
Part of the reason for the exposure was because D.C.'s more advanced midfield trio failed to drop back quickly enough to support the holding midfielders when United lost possession. In the second half, this happened a lot less frequently, but it certainly is an area in which the Fire can try to take advantage. If the Fire can get midfielders forward in numbers, something they haven't been able to do as often in the last few games, then they could put some real pressure on the D.C. holding midfield core.
The return of Pardo - an experienced head for a big game
Since losing Pavel Pardo, the Fire have gone 3-3-0 in his six game absence. In the six games prior, the team won five and lost one. That stat alone gives you an indication as to how important Pavel is to the team.
His partnership with Logan Pause in the Fire engine room is one big reason for the Fire being a lot harder to break down this year. Pardo also reads the game as well as anyone in MLS, constantly positioning himself well to intercept a pass or pick up an advancing midfielder.
Having Pardo, a man with almost 150 caps for Mexico, will also be extremely important for the playoffs, especially because three of the five behind him have no postseason experience. Pardo's return gives the team an added boost ahead of the biggest game of the season to date.
Prediction: This game is going to be just as intense and nerve wracking as a playoff game but a sold out crowd at Toyota Park should give the Fire the advantage. 1-0 Fire with the goal coming from Chris Rolfe.
Campaigns, trash talk and the truth.
During the race for the 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year award there has been a lot of chatter. Who ranks where and what is valued more from fresh-faced rookies - Goals? Assists? Saves? Defense?
Adapting to MLS can be a challenge. It's a long season fraught with ups and downs, the speed of play is accelerated, often as a central defender you are up against a striker with class skills and experience to match.
For Chicago Fire defender Austin Berry it isn't about the rankings or the hoopla, it's about putting in the work needed to help the team.
Berry has made his way onto a Life cereal box.
While there has been PR to support the rookie defender who has started 27 matches for a 17-11-5 Fire team that has only allowed 40 goals in 2012.
The real truth of the matter has been Berry's play. Through his efforts alone, Berry has cut through the clutter, letting his game speak for itself…
Austin #Berry4ROY: THE TRUTH
After two runs to the MLS Cup Final in three seasons, the high-flying Chicago Fire finished the 2001 MLS Regular Season similar to the previous year, winning the Central division and tying for the league's best record (this time with Miami) only to be seeded second, losing on the tiebreaker to the Fusion.
Things might have gone differently if not for Ariel Graziani popping up once again to spoil the day in a match that would end up being the team's last game of the 2001 season.
In that game played September 8 at Soldier Field, the Burn came back from a 2-0 deficit to earn a 2-2 draw with Graziani once again the culprit, scoring the 91st minute equalizer. Had the Fire been victorious in the match, the team would have eventually been awarded its first MLS Supporters Shield.
Alas, three days later everything changed with the September 11 terrorist attacks. With all eight playoff teams known at that point, MLS decided to cancel the remaining regular season games and move to the playoffs roughly nine days later, meaning the Fire would once again face Dallas in an opening round playoff series.

Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill.
September 20, 2001
With the end of the September 8 game and memories of the devastating 1999 playoff defeat to Dallas fresh in their minds, it would be safe to say that the Fire held feelings of revenge in their hearts going up against their Brimstone Cup rivals.
The team would breakthrough just before halftime when Eric Wynalda's free kick from the left picked out Carlos Bocanegra unmarked at the six, leaving the young Fire center back an easy header past Matt Jordon in the 40th minute.
Though the Fire held an 8-3 shots on goal advantage in the match, they weren't able to put the Burn away until very late. Dallas would be awarded a direct free kick deep into stoppage time. Desperately looking for an equalizer, Jordan came all the way up the field to provide numbers but would regret it when Oscar Pareja's take was hit straight into the wall before Peter Nowak intercepted a pass to start the counter attack.
The Fire captain fed a streaking Evan Whitfield in alone up the field and the current Fire color analyst outpaced Dallas defender Justin Evans to tuck the ball away and give the Fire a 2-0 victory in Game 1.

September 23, 2001
Back home for Game 2, Dallas would take an early first half lead when Jason Kreis played a forward ball for Bobby Rhine at the top of the area. The Burn forward would find Chad Deering streaking through midfield and played a pinpoint pass into the box that the U.S. international one-timed past Zach Thornton in the 27th minute.
It looked as though Dallas would tie the series up at three points each the Fire had other ideas. In the 84th minute, Peter Nowak penetrated towards the middle of the field before feeding Dema Kovalenko into the box. The Ukrainian fired a quick effort that Matt Jordan did well to save but substitute striker Jamar Beasley was on the doorstep to equalize.
After 10 minutes of extra time, Beasley's goal would stand to send the series back to Chicago with the Fire needing only a draw in Game 3 to advance.

Soldier Field, Chicago, Ill.
September 29, 2001
Back in Chicago for Game 3, there was little doubt the Fire would advance.
In the 17th minute, Peter Nowak's corner from the left was headed down in the area by Evan Whitfield leaving Dema Kovalenko to scrap inside the six, eventually knocking home the go-ahead goal.
Needing only a tie, the Fire would go for the jugular in the second half when Nowak made one of his patented long runs through midfield. The Fire captain entered the box on the left and saw a bit of confusion when his last touch on the ball was a bit heavy, allowing for Chris Armas to bury the second goal in the 55th minute and send the Fire to its third MLS Cup semifinal in four years.
#2 Chicago Fire vs. #3 LA Galaxy – MLS Cup semifinals (first to five)
Chicago Fire 1, LA Galaxy 1 (OT) (Game 1)
Soldier Field, Chicago, Ill.
October 10, 2001
The Fire had already received bitter disappointment from the Galaxy in late August when Alexi Lalas' 94th minute "golden goal" knocked the team out at the semifinal stage.
The home side would take the lead in the 32nd minute when Peter Nowak gallivanted through midfield before sending DaMarcus Beasley down the left flank. The second-year Fire winger crossed to the back post where Eric Wynalda first-timed his effort past Kevin Hartman for the 1-0 lead.
The Galaxy would equalize just before halftime after Chris Armas was judged to have brought down Sasha Victorine at the top of the penalty area. Vaunted Galaxy striker Luis Hernandez saw his spot kick saved by Zach Thornton but buried the rebound to tie the score in the 44th minute.
The Fire would be dealt a blow in the 60th minute when Evan Whitfield was shown a straight red card for pulling down Cobi Jones who was in alone on goal. Despite playing a man down for the final 30 minutes of regulation and 10 more in overtime, the Fire escaped the match with a point in the 1-1 draw.
LA Galaxy 1, Chicago Fire 0 (OT) (Game 2)
Titan Stadium, Fullerton, Calif.
October 13, 2001
The Fire returned to the site where the team fell in U.S. Open Cup semifinals nearly two months before and already without Whitfield due to his one-match suspension, would be dealt another blow when Peter Nowak left the game at halftime with a hamstring strain, ending his participation in the remainder of the team's playoff run.
In eerie similarity to the the August Open Cup match, the game would head to overtime and see another Galaxy winner come in the 94th minute when Peter Vagenas tallied off a Luis Hernandez feed, giving the Galaxy a 4-1 points advantage heading back to Chicago for Game 3.
LA Galaxy 2, Chicago Fire 1 (OT) (Game 3)
Soldier Field, Chicago, Ill.
October 13, 2001
Returning home, the Fire would once again take the early lead at Soldier Field when Chris Armas fed DaMarcus Beasley through in the 30thminute.
Again though, similarities to a previous match between the two sides would reign supreme. This time when the Galaxy's Danny Califf would tally the equalizer in the 44th minute (the same time as Luis Hernandez's penalty put back in Game 1) that would eventually send the match to extra time.
In the overtime period, LA's Mauricio Cienfuegos would tally his second overtime winner of the postseason, finishing off the Fire in the 98th minute and sending the Galaxy to their third MLS Cup appearance.
For the Fire, it would mark the team's first home playoff loss in four seasons.
In this edition of Burning Questions we sat down with German World Cup veteran Arne Friedrich. This season, Arne has commanded the rock solid Fire defense in 22 matches, holding opponents to 40 goals. A native of Bad Oeynhausen, Germany, Arne has been capped 82 times for Germany, helping Die Mannschaft to matching third place finishes in the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cups. Arne took the time to answer our Burning Questions about his newfound cooking skills, what music he prefers and how often he throws a handstand.
Always on the Inside: You often talk about how much you like Chicago. Is there something you haven't yet experienced?
Arne Friedrich: I've never been to a Bulls game. That's what I've missed so far. I'm hoping I can see a game when the new season starts. So for me, there is so much exciting stuff to do in Chicago and I just recommend people to come here and visit the town. Especially in Europe and German, nobody knows about Chicago that much. The city doesn't have the same reputation as New York, and it's fantastic.
AOTI: Is there anything that Chicagoans do differently?
AF: Not really; when I came here, I didn't expect that the city would be so clean. That was the first thing I noticed compared to New York because they're always rivals. The city is so clean and there are so many parks, we have trees, so much stuff going on during the summer. We have the beach and downtown. Everything you need.
AOTI: There is a video from the German Women's National Team's recent visit to Toyota Park in which you do a handstand. Do you often do handstands?
AF: This is very nice! It's good posture. I don't know why I did that. I guess it's the first time. I don't know, it was just a joke and everybody is watching me. Nice! It's not bad. I didn't know that I could do that.
AOTI: So do you do yoga?
AF: I did it in Germany. But I guess everyone can do that. It's a one-time thing.
AOTI: What are you going to be for Halloween?
AF: It's my first Halloween. We don't celebrate it in Germany, especially not in Berlin where I used to live. I'm absolutely excited. I saw that so many people dress their yard up and it looks so funny with the pumpkins and all the stuff. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing all the stuff.
AOTI: Are you planning on dressing up?
AF: I'm not sure, it depends on what my teammates are going to do. We're going to talk about that.
AOTI: The number 23 is a big deal in Chicago. Who is better, Michael Jordan at soccer or Arne Friedrich at basketball?
AF: We should come together and try to prove it because I don't know how he plays soccer. My basketball skills are, I don't know, maybe average. Definitely we should try it.
AOTI: You gave Austin Berry the nickname "Jerry Berry". Have you given anyone else a nickname? Do you have any nicknames yourself?
AF: I don't have any nicknames. It's always funny, I just call people something different. It's always funny but I don't want to tell that.
AOTI: In my Google search, I found that the ladies often refer to you as a prince. Do you know where that originated?
AF: What? No! Not even once! I've never seen that. Really? Wow. I didn't know that.
AOTI: Your favorite musical genres are Pop and R&B. Who are your top three musical artists?
AF: I like Eminem. Not his nature maybe but I like his music. There's so much good stuff. I usually like R&B. I like the group Hurts. And T.I., Papa Trey. There's so much nice stuff. Music is nice. It's good that we have music.
AOTI: What is your favorite food and what is your favorite restaurant?
AF: My favorite food is definitely the Italian cuisine. I also started to cook a little bit for myself. I'm a very bad cook, I have to concede that. But I just try to practice every day. Normally, two or three times a week, I go to Vapiano on Clark Street.
AOTI: What's the one thing you want to be good at cooking? Is there a specialty you want to have?
AF: Not really. My problem is that I don't work with spices. And this is the problem, it always tastes very plain. It might be healthy but it doesn't taste good.
AOTI: You have a time machine. Which era would you like to visit?
AF: I would like to go in the past when Jesus lived.
Yesterday, I began the ambitious 11-part Playoff History series with a bang, taking a look back on the club's magical run to the 1998 MLS Cup championship. Today, we step a year ahead to the bitter disappointment of an early exit from the 1999 MLS Cup playoffs.
It's important to preface the club's playoff experience in 1999 with a bit of context. After winning the 1998 MLS and U.S. Open Cup double, the Fire began a season of disappointments the following year with an early exit at the eventual U.S. Open Cup champions Rochester Rhinos on July 14.
Out of domestic cup competition, the team continued to focus on regular season play for the next two months before taking part in the CONCACAF Champions Cup in Las Vegas that fall. Playing on the rock-hard pitch at Sam Boyd Stadium, the Fire dispatched Trinidadian side Joe Public 2-0 in the first round before going to penalties with Costa Rican power Alajuelense after a 1-1 draw in the semifinal.
In the shootout, Lubos Kubik, who the year before had tallied six of six penalties taken during the regular season and playoffs, shot second and skied his effort high over the bar. His miss was the only one on the night as the Fire fell 5-4 to Alajuelense and leaving the Fire to miss out on the CONCACAF final played two days later.
"In 1998 we seemed like a team of destiny that was just preordained to win. A year later, it seemed the fates were evening out and there was nothing we could do to prevent the inevitable failure." – Former Chicago Fire President Peter Wilt
#2 Dallas Burn vs. #3 Chicago Fire – Western Conference Semifinals (best of three)
With the teams splitting their four matchups during the regular season, three of which went to the old MLS shootout to be decided, this playoff encounter promised to be a tight one.
GAME 1 played 10/16/1999 at The Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas
WATCH: '99 Western Conference Semifinals vs. Dallas
Despite their previously more exciting matche, the first half of Game One could have seemed more like a heavyweight bout where no one wanted to land the first punch as neither team registered a shot on goal.
The home side did have a bit more of the play though and took the lead in the 52nd minute through Ariel Graziani when the Ecuadorian striker chipped Oscar Pareja towards the end line before the current Colorado Rapids coach centered across the box for an easy finish.
The goal also marked the first time the Fire had ever trailed in a postseason match.
Dallas would take their lead to 2-0 in the 75th minute when Graziani pounced on a loose ball at midfield. He'd stroll alone into the box, forcing Fire 'keeper Zach Thornton to the floor before sliding the ball to the charging Mark Santel on the right, leaving the former U.S. international an easy finish past the desperate slide of Fire defender Tom Soehn.
The 2-0 score line seemed to wake the Fire up, pulling one back just four minutes later. Peter Nowak found the ball at the top of the penalty area and played it into the path of substitute midfielder John Ball on the right who slid a low effort past Dallas 'keeper Matt Jordan.
With the goal, the Fire were charged for an equalizer but saw late efforts from Paul Dougherty, Diego Gutierrez and Ball all go begging, eventually falling 2-1.
GAME 2 played 10/23/1999 at Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill.
Staring elimination in the face, the Fire picked up on the momentum from the end of the first game and took the lead 18 minutes in.
Diego Gutierrez had a misplaced clearance fall for him and took a low blast from distance. The ball ended up running perfectly into the stride of Peter Nowak who took one touch into the box before finishing past Jordan.
The Fire would double their lead 18 minutes later when Roman Kosecki pounced on a bouncing ball in midfield and strolled towards goal before hitting a somewhat weak left-footed effort that eluded Jordan and tucked inside the left post.
Ante Razov (right) would take the score to 3-0 just before the break. Chasing down a long ball out of the back from Jesse Marsch, Razov bodied off the challenge of Richard Farrer before seeing Jordan far off his line. The second-year Fire striker turned with the ball and hit a 20-yard effort that left the Dallas 'keeper only with a front row seat to see it.
Jordan continued his shocking display just after the half. Nowak chipped a ball into the box from the left for Kosecki who could only get a partial touch to the ball, making it look as if the Dallas 'keeper would come off his line to claim it. Jordan was a step late in his approach, however and Dema Kovalenko ran on, took a touch and finished from close range to close out the 4-0 score line.
The Fire seemed to have resurrected the demons from Game 1 and after Jordan's horrific performance in the second game, left Dallas coach Dave Dir to make a switch to veteran Mark Dodd for Game 3.
GAME 3 played 10/27/1999 at The Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas
The Fire's momentum from Game 2 seemed to barely miss a beat in the decider with the Fire taking on three minutes to go up 1-0.
On the goal, Jerzy Podbrozny played a quick centering pass for Lubos Kubik who played Ante Razov through into the box. To get through the Dallas back line, Razov spun in stride without even touching the ball before placing his low effort past Dodd.
The series looked all but over two minutes later. Kubik lined up for a free kick 35 yards from goal and whipped a beautiful in-swinger between the penalty spot and the six-yard box where a sliding Jesse Marsch redirected the ball past Dodd and into the top right corner to go up 2-0.
Things weren't all roses for the Fire in the first half as Razov left the match in the 15th minute with a hamstring strain. Already without Josh Wolff who had suffered a torn ACL back in August, the team's attack lacked its two leading scorers for the remaining 75 minutes.
As a result, the Fire would start to fall apart after the break. In the 55th minute, future Fire defender Sergi Daniv sent a cross from the right that Zach Thornton could only get a hand to before Chad Deering cleaned up with a header at the back post in the 55th minute.
After the strike, the Fire would look to take back their two-goal lead but Dodd would stand tall turning away three efforts in two minutes from Peter Nowak (67th) Lubos Kubik (68th) and John Ball (69th).
Gaining in frustration, the team was awarded a number of yellow cards but maintained the 2-1 lead into the final 10 minutes.
Things would come undone though when defender C.J. Brown, who had done a great job in marking Dallas striker Jason Kreis throughout the series, was whistled for handling the ball in the box in the 83rd minute. On the ensuing penalty, Jorge Rodriguez sent Thornton the wrong way and brought the match level.
With Dallas holding all the momentum at home, they pushed forward for the game and series clincher in the 90th minute. John Jairo Trellez pushed up on the right and centered a ball that deflected off of Brown and saw Thornton make a swiping effort before falling straight to the feet of Graziani (right) who cruelly one-timed his effort off the underside of the cross bar to complete one of the most stunning comebacks in MLS Cup playoff history.
The final 10 minutes and whole of 1999 left former Fire President Peter Wilt to simply say, "The penalty against us that tied the game seemingly made the final outcome inevitable. Just as 1998 was destined to be our year, 1999 was destined not to be."
The Fire would be left to look for redemption in 2000 (coming Wednesday)...
Saturday night's flat performance at New England combined with results in New York, D.C. and Houston have put the Fire in a precarious position going into this weekend's regular season finale vs. United. With all five playoff teams now known, the result for the Men in Red means the team could literally still be seeded anywhere from second to fifth in the East come Sunday morning…
With only one regular season game left, this will be the last edition of Playoff Math for 2012 where I look at each team's best and worst case scenarios and potential seedings. Enjoy!
1) Sporting KC
Current Points: 60 (40 GF)
Maximum Possible Points: 63
Highest/Lowest Possible Seed: 1/2
Last Game: vs. Philadelphia (10/24).
The Rundown: Things have worked pretty well for KC heading into the playoffs. Saturday night they went and earned a second result in New York this season and combined with the Fire's failure at New England, have nearly locked down the top spot in the East. At the very least, they'll finish second.
The Best Case: All they need to do is earn a draw in their final game against Philadelphia to take the top seed.
The Worst Case: A loss to Philly at midweek combined with a D.C.win over the Fire would push Sporting down to second based on the Goals For tiebreaker.
Beyond just being a solid team, Sporting have more than earned their position in the table by being smart about how they've earned results in difficult places to play.
2) D.C. United
Current Points: 57 (52 GF)
Maximum Possible Points: 60
Highest/Lowest Possible Seed: 1/4
Last Game: at Chicago (10/27; 3pm CT on NBC Sports Network)
The Rundown: D.C. was the biggest mover of the night and did it all in dramatic fashion by coming back from two deficits to eventually down the Columbus 3-2 behind Lewis Neal's stoppage time strike. The win propelled United past the Fire and into second, qualified them for their first postseason berth since 2007 all the while helping to end the Crew's postseason hopes.
The Best Case: A win Saturday against the Fire combined with a Sporting loss to Philadelphia would push United to first in the East. They could still lock down second on Saturday with just a draw against Chicago.
The Worst Case: A loss to the Fire and a New York win over Philadelphia would push D.C. to fourth and force them to host the Eastern Conference play-in game on October 31 or November 1.
3) Chicago Fire
Current Points: 56 (45 GF)
Maximum Possible Points: 59
Highest/Lowest Possible Seed: 2/5
Last Game: vs. D.C. United (10/27; 3pm CT on NBC Sports Network)
The Rundown: After winning seven of eight in late summer and fall, the Men in Red have dropped their last three of four. There is reason to be nervous but be glad the team is home and can still control their own destiny as it comes to earning a higher seed.
The Best Case: All it would take for the Fire to lock up second in the East is a win at home against D.C. on Saturday.
The Worst Case: New York will end its match with Philadelphia a half hour before kickoff at Toyota Park -- If the Red Bulls win and the Fire lose or draw against D.C. the team will at least be condemned to fourth place.
Then the team will point its eyes to Denver where Colorado hosts Houston (8pm CT) in the final match of the 2012 MLS regular season – if the Dynamo win with a Fire loss against DC, the Men in Red will fall to fifth and open up the postseason at Houston. If the Fire draw against D.C., they'll remain fourth regardless of what happens in Colorado.
4) New York Red Bulls
Current Points: 54 (54 GF)
Maximum Possible Points: 57
Highest/Lowest Possible Seed: 3/5
Last Game: at Philadelphia (10/27; 12:30pm CT on NBC Sports Network)
The Rundown: New York will be disappointed to not have done more against Sporting KC in two huge home games towards the end of the season but will be happy to go into the final weekend with a playoff berth locked.
The Best Case: Because the Fire and United play and are already ahead of New York, there is no way for Red Bull to finish higher than third. With that in mind, all they need to do is defeat Philadelphia to lock in third place and avoid the play-in game.
The Worst Case: A draw or less to Philadelphia and then Red Bull will also be watching the Houston/Colorado match closely that night. A Houston win would mean the Dynamo would at the very least host New York in the play-in game, while a draw or loss would mean Red Bull would host the Dynamo.
5) Houston Dynamo
Current Points: 53 (48 GF)
Maximum Possible Points: 56
Highest/Lowest Possible Seed: 3/5
last Game: at Colorado (10/27 8pm CT on Direct Kick/MLS Live)
The Rundown: Houston's 3-1 win over Philadelphia Saturday night combined with D.C.'s victory over Columbus clinched the 2011 MLS Cup finalists a place back in the playoffs. Because of their appearance in last year's championship match, the Dynamo also have to juggle the final group game of CONCACAF Champions League play this Wednesday when they welcome Honduran side Olimipa to BBVA Compass Stadium.
Luckily for the Dynamo, they need only a draw in the game to ensure advancement to the next round ahead of having to close out the regular season and fight for positioning in the East with a match at altitude in Colorado.
The Best Case: The Dynamo could finish as high as third in the East if both New York and Chicago lose their games earlier in the day and Houston defeats Colorado.
The Worst Case: The Fire and Red Bull both win their earlier matches condemning the Dynamo to fifth and rendering the game that night at Colorado meaningless. In that case, Houston would travel to D.C. United for the play-in game.
The Fire stopped a two-game skid in convincing fashion last time out, beating New York 2-0 at Red Bull Arena. The team travels to New England Saturday night (LIVE 6pm CT on NBC 5.2) to play a Revolution team riddled with injuries and eliminated from the playoff race. As we saw two weeks ago against the Philadelphia Union, a team playing for pride can be extremely dangerous so there is no room for complacency. Here are some things to look for from a tactical standpoint.
Jerry Bengtson - stopping the target man
New England's designated player, Jerry Bengtson, has settled very well in MLS since his arrival halfway through 2012. The Honduran plays the same role as Sherjill MacDonald does for the Fire, holding up the ball and looking to combine with the advancing midfielders. Bengtson also likes to roam into wide positions, encouraging his support players to move into the space he vacates.
Bengtson also comes into the game on a high after scoring a hat-trick in an 8-1 rout of Canada in San Pedro Sula Tuesday night. It is commonplace for an international returning his club team after representing his country twice in four days to start the game from the bench but given New England's injury crisis, it is a near certainty that he will be leading the line come Saturday night.
WATCH: Matko's Take on New England
Cutting off the supply to Bengtson is very important.
Juan Toja - a creative spark from the bench
Since joining the Revs over a month ago, Toja has made four appearances, all from the bench. The former Dallas player showed what he is capable of in New England's last game against Philadelphia, coming on for the last twenty minutes and making a big impact.
Toja is a player who wants the ball at all times, often dropping deep to collect it and start an attack. Against the Union, he looked to get the ball wide as much as possible but also looked to take on players whenever the opportunity arose.
It is obvious that Toja is not 100% match fit and unlikely he will start on Saturday night, but he will almost certainly be the first man off the bench, especially if the Revs need a goal. The Union did not adjust to Toja coming on and allowed the midfielder far too much room to create, something the Fire will need to prevent if he makes an appearance.
Fire attack - no need to force it
In the Fire's last game in New York, the team for the most part played as any good away team should, absorbing pressure and counter attacking whenever possible. The team also did well to retain possession but at times were guilty of trying to force the ball forward, sometimes resulting in a careless giveaway, especially in the final third of the field.
The aim was to get the ball to advanced forward Sherjill MacDonald, either directly to his feet so he could hold the ball up or to play a ball into the channels for MacDonald to run onto. At times this was very successful, but the midfield seemed desperate to get the ball up the pitch, instead of playing the simple pass and retaining possession.
The main culprit of this of late is Uruguayan Flaco Fernandez who has had a slight dip in form since being recalled to the Uruguayan National Team. Fernandez is vital to the Fire's attack and the New England game provides him with an opportunity to rediscover the blistering form he was in a few weeks ago.
Double teaming in defense - leads to counter attacks
Against New York, the Fire did a much better job of pressuring their opponents instead of sitting back and allowing them to come and attack them. Often the Fire would double team an opponent in order to win the ball back which was very successful.
Both goals the Fire scored against the Red Bulls came from forcing a turnover by double or sometimes triple teaming the opposition. To do it successfully, the outside midfielders much at times tuck in to support the center mids or drop deep to support the outside defenders.
The other key element of the double teaming tactic is to quickly counter when you do win the ball. The Fire did not give New York enough time to adjust after losing possession and thanks to the runs and finishes of Sherjill MacDonald, the Men in Red were able to leave New York with all three points. Look for the Fire to continue this trend against New England this weekend, especially when a player like Toja gets the ball.
Prediction: The Fire avenge a loss at Gillette Stadium earlier in the season by winning 2-0. Goals from Chris Rolfe and Rookie of the Year candidate, Austin Berry.
Prediction Record since August 4: 6-3

Homegrown midfielder Victor Pineda gave fans a little help with their Fire withdrawals over the international break, scoring a highlight reel goal in Reserve team's 2-1 loss at Houston on Saturday.
The goal stood as the 19-year-old midfielder's second in 2012 MLS Reserve League play this season and was deemed good enough to garner nearly 2,000 views on YouTube and make the front of MLSsoccer.com on Thursday morning.
"He's maturing and I think every year its better," said Fire head coach Frank Klopas. "The Reserve League gives him that opportunity to stay sharp. It's good that he scored but more important is that he played well – his ability to understand without the ball you need to be able to defend and work hard without the ball – he's getting better at that.
The rocket strike has led some Fire fans who have only had the opportunity to see the club's first Homegrown player in Reserve and friendly matches to clamor for his competitive debut before the end of the season.
Given the Fire could still clinch first place in the East and also put themselves in a position for CONCACAF Champions League qualification, one might a 2012 debut might not be in the cards but Klopas left the possibility open.
"We just have to see how the game situation goes. A lot is up to him and how he does in training as well. He's a young player, you have to understand that it takes time with him. His attitude is good, he's sharp and playing well in the Reserve matches so it shows me that he's ready to contribute if we need him to."
With Alvaro Fernandez coming off more than a week away with Uruguay as well as travel back Stateside, Saturday's game at New England could provide a perfect substitute opportunity for young Vic.
WATCH: Victor Pineda Golazo in Houston
While the Chicago Fire is one team, the squad currently consists of 27 players each with a different origin, starting point and story of how they arrived at Toyota Park as a Fire player.
As part of the club's partnership with Quaker Oats, we present Journeys – an in-depth look at each player's path to Chicago.
In the first edition we sit down with Ghanaian midfielder Patrick Nyarko to better understand the shape of his journey as an academics-focused part-time soccer player on the gravel fields of Kumasi, Ghana to a MAC Hermann finalist at Virginia Tech and his eventual transformation into one of the most dangerous attackers in Major League Soccer.
Stay tuned for part 2 of Quaker Journeys with Patrick Nyarko next week.

Law of Public Communication, 2009 Update Edition, The (7th Edition)
Chapter 5 Review Where did the right to privacy come from? 1890 article in the Harvard Law Review written by Samuel Warren and Loius Brandeis Article argued that advances in technology and the voyeurism of urban newspapers necessitated new legal protections for privacy. 4th Amendment recognizes a citizens? reasonable expectation of privacy What are the four torts of privacy? The publication of intimate private facts Intrusion: A physical or technological invasion of a person?s privacy False light: The public portrayal of someone in a distorted or fictionalized way Appropriation: The unauthorized commercial exploitation of someone?s identity What are the elements for a private fact case? Publication of private information that: Would be highly offensive to a reasonable person Ex. If the media reveal intimate information about illnesses, mental disorders, medical procedures, and hospitalizations without consent of the subject Is not of legitimate concern to the public What are the defenses to a private fact case? Public Domain Has to be widely published First Amendment protects info that is lawfully acquired if it is not highly offensive Newsworthiness (or public info) Consent Can be implied?being involved in a newsworthy event implies consent to be photographed What are the elements of intrusion? Reasonable expectation of privacy Highly offensive to a reasonable person Only takes one person- doesn?t have to be widely published Secretly recorded conversations Overly aggressive surveillance Long distance photo with a telephoto lens What is the general rule about filming, photographing and recording? The media can record or take pictures of what is easily seen or heard in public or quasi public places Public - People can photograph what can easily be seen or heard Quasi-Public - Like a mall, which is a business and can set their own rules but the public is let in and is free to move about When is intrusive behavior typically found not to be highly offensive? When revealing something that would be of public benefit What are the rules about secret recording (hidden cameras)? See Dietemann v. Time, Inc. May not be an intrusion when in a business setting and the expectation of privacy is lower, but is considered an intrusion while in a private place Basically, they are prohibited and are considered an intrusion. The federal courts affirmed that a person?s home, or in this case, Dietemann?s home, ?was a sphere from which he could reasonably expect to exclude eavesdropping newsman.? What are the elements of a trespass? Physical entry onto private property without the consent of owner The violation lies in the act of the trespass, not in what is learned or published as a result of it. Punitive damages normally award only if trespass is willful or malicious. What is the defense of custom and usage? See Florida Publishing Co. v. Fletcher. Journalists accompanying officials into private places after a calamity is so common that the law has created implied consent. It is similar to a magazine salesperson knocking on a person?s door. Both acts are so customary that the law recognizes a privilege for the entries, ?custom and usage.? Florida is one of the few states that recognizes this Custom and Usage exception to a trespass claim. What are the elements of a false light tort? See Cantrell v. Forest City Publishing Co. Dissemination of highly offensive false publicity with knowledge of and disregard for the falsity Distortion: When media omits info or uses it out of context Fictionalization: The addition of fictional dialogue or characters to what are otherwise essentially factual works Minor falsification is not considered false light When must a plaintiff prove ?actual malice? in a false light case? See Time, Inc. v. Hill. Public figures must prove actual malice Private figures only need to prove negligence Actual malice must be proved for private figures if they are involved in a newsworthy event. What are the defenses for a false light case? What?s happening in Florida? False light plaintiffs must meet a fault requirement Florida Supreme Court does not recognize false light What are the elements of appropriation? What?s happening in Florida? Remember the Anderson case from class. Unauthorized use of another person?s name or likeness for commercial usage Advertisements: Using someone?s picture in an advertisement without their consent Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have filed a lawsuit against high-end baby carriages for misappropriation of their images. Lopez and Anthony were photographed using the carriage product, but that image was used in a commercial for the carriage company, which is illegal Look-alikes Public Trade: Christie Brinkley sued to prevent a store from selling posters with her picture on it. What are your defenses if you get sued for appropriation? See Zacchini v. Scripps-Howard First Amendment: It is a constitutional privilege to disseminate information of public interest Persons who pose or appear with public officials may not claim their identity has been appropriated if the picture is taken in a public or semi public place Zacchini v. Scripps-Howard: Media broadcasted Zacchini?s entire cannonball act, which might prevent people from paying to see it It?s why they only show clips of big bands or speakers here on campus and why they can?t show they whole thing Newsworthiness Consent Must be mentally competent, parents must sign for minors Oral or implied agreement is not satisfactory What are the elements for an emotional distress lawsuit? Outrageous conduct by the media is thought to cause severe anxiety in private persons Intentional Infliction: So outrageous in character, so extreme in degree, as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency, and to be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community What?s the difference between private figures and public official/figures suing for intentional infliction of emotional distress? See Hustler Magazine v. Falwell Private Figures: WESH Orlando news showed a broadcast of the medical examiner holding up the skull of a deceased girl that had been abducted 3 years earlier. WESH settled with the family (intentional infliction) Public Figures: Must prove actual malice Hustler Magazine v. Falwell: Hustler Magazine published a parody of Preacher Falwell being drunk and having his ?first time? with his mother in an outhouse Falwell lost the case because it was a parody, not claiming to be true. ?Outrageousness? standard of liability is unconstitutional because it is so subjective What is participant monitoring? What is the law in Florida? How is this different from the federal law? Participant Monitoring: At least one person is aware of a secret recorder Federal law permits one party to record a conversation without telling the other party. Is considered no more intrusive then orally retelling the conversation to a third party Florida law does not permit participant monitoring Just video is not illegal, but video with sound is illegal Do reporters trespass when they misrepresent themselves to acquire information from public businesses? Supreme Court is divided on this issue Court ruled it was not trespassing when ABC reporters posed as patients in order to investigate an Eye Center Court ruled that it was trespassing into nonpublic areas of Food Lion when reporters misrepresented themselves on job applications to uncover information about low quality meat. When is the media responsible for physical harm, which results from incitement, negligence or lack of duty not to publish material due to foreseeable harm? Physical harm: Person emulates what have seen on tv or read Media is only held responsible if it can be proven that the media ?incited? harmful action This rarely happens

Minnesota Timberwolves star Kevin Love had hoped to return from his broken hand before the end of the season. At the moment, it does not appear he will reach that goal.
Love has played only 18 games this season, and he is likely to miss more time as he has not yet been cleared for contact, the team announced Friday. The Wolves star will be re-evaluated next week, which puts his return out further with only two weeks left in the regular season.
Love first broke his hand while doing knuckle push-ups in October, only to return and suffer the same injury on Jan. 3 in a collision with Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried.
Surgery was not recommended for the first injury, but Love previously said the procedure he underwent for the second injury has made a difference, even though there was initial swelling in the hand from scar tissue.
#Twolves Injury Update: Kevin Love not cleared for contact (broken right hand). Will be re-evaluated early next week.— Timberwolves PR (@Twolves_PR) April 5, 2013
