Field Guide: Wilder Ave.
This street may look residential upon first glance, but it's spotted with unique businesses.
(page 1 of 2)
Sure Shot Cafe
For Makiki residents, Sure Shot Café is a neighborhood staple. The small coffee shop is usually packed with senior citizens sipping their Americanos and reading the paper, college students taking advantage of the free Wi-Fi and business people stopping in for a blueberry scone to go. "Everyone can be comfortable here," says Kiko Hayashito, who has owned the café for 11 years. Hayashito notes that Sure Shot is independently owned and the staff makes everything in house except for the bagels. 1249 Wilder Ave., 523-2336.
Paula's Sports Cards

Paula Nakata got into the sports-card business 19 years ago while recovering from a bicycle accident. Nakata (shown in photo) is known in the local trading-card world for carrying an impressive array of high-end cards. Her clients range from school kids to hard-core collectors. Sports cards are her bread and butter, but she also carries gaming and signed celebrity cards. She recently sold a basketball card with Michael Jordan's and LeBron James' signatures for $1,000. Nakata also holds gaming tournaments and helps customers trade their cards. 1231 Wilder Ave., Suite 206, 533-4886.

Vintage Wine Cellar
"We're the oldest wine shop in Hawaii," says Jay Kam, the owner of the Vintage Wine Cellar. Located in the downstairs area of the Makiki Shopping Village, the cellar is a 41-year-old, family-owned business. Kam specializes in unique, artisan wines and the small shop packs in a large variety. "We have wines from all different parts of the world and specialize in European wines," he says, adding that he and his staff travel to Europe every year. The shop also carries top-shelf scotch, gin and vodka, as well as collector's edition Champagnes. 1249 Wilder Ave., Suite B-1, 523-9463.

General Service Area 51
About A.A.
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.
There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions.
AA is not not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes.
Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
About Area 51
Area 51 is one of 93 areas in the General Service Conference of Alcoholics Anonymous (United States/Canada). Our boundaries coincide with the state of North Carolina.
To facilitate communication and service activities, Area 51 is subdivided by geography and language into 39 districts -- 36 English-speaking and 3 Spanish-speaking.
Currently there are over 900 A.A. groups that meet one or more times weekly in communities across North Carolina. Like all A.A. groups, each is autonomous.
Through voluntary participation in our general service structure, our groups combine resources to carry A.A.'s message of recovery wherever in the world it is needed and wanted.

The death of a German student who died after pulling eight all-nighters in two weeks for his finance internship has led to increased scrutiny of work culture at major banks.
Moritz Erhardt was near the end of a punishing eight-week internship at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in London when he was found dead in the shower at his student housing last week. Friends attributed his death to overworking and sleep deprivation, reigniting a debate about the hyper-competitive working culture in the finance industry, especially for ambitious young workers.
Interns at investment banks are often expected to work over 100 hours each week, and usually believe that longer working hours can give them a competitive edge for promotion. In a public statement, the bank said it was "deeply shocked and saddened" and expressed condolences to the family.

Leonard knocks out Hearns to unify middleweight title
On September 16, 1981, welterweight boxer "Sugar" Ray Leonard knocks out Thomas Hearns in the 13th round to unify boxing's middleweight title. Leonard was behind on all three judges' scorecards and fighting with one eye closed when he delivered a right hand to his opponent's head that sent Hearns crashing to the canvas.
Leonard, 25, entered the fight as the World Boxing Council's (WBC) welterweight champion with a record of 31-1, while Hearns, 22, was 32-0 with 30 knockouts and held the World Boxing Association (WBA) belt. On the day of the fight, 25,000 spectators packed a hastily built outdoor arena at Caesar's Palace casino in Las Vegas to watch the two champions battle it out in 100-degree heat. As each man had talent and drive to spare, even odds-makers had difficulty picking a favorite.
Hearns shadowed Leonard in the first round, landing a punch only after the closing bell had sounded. Referee Davey Pearl stepped in to separate the fighters after the late hit, and when the match resumed, Leonard danced around Hearns, unable to get inside to land blows to his body. In the third round, as Hearns was starting to tire, Leonard caught him with two right hands that sent Hearns reeling into the ropes. In the fourth, Leonard gained confidence, and the two traded punishing blows, before the bigger fighter shook Leonard with a left hook. While Hearns danced around the ring mimicking Leonard's trademark style in the sixth, Leonard landed a left-uppercut that doubled Hearns over. Leonard stalked Hearns for the next two rounds, but the momentum shifted again in the ninth when Hearns' defensive jabs began to exhaust Leonard and a series of right hands re-opened a cut under Leonard's left eye.
By the 13th round, Hearns was dictating the fight to a nearly half-blind Leonard. Suddenly, Hearns fell to the floor, the victim of what Pearl ruled a push by Leonard. Soon after, Hearns went down again after a right hand from Leonard, but Pearl again ruled this meeting with the canvas the result of a shove instead of a knockdown. The next time Hearns went down, it was the result of a flurry of Leonard punches to his head, which sent "The Hitman," as Hearns was known, through the ropes. Leonard finished off Hearns in the 14th, hitting him in the head at will until Pearl stopped the fight.
The fight grossed $37 million, the most money generated by a sporting event to that time.

PHILADELPHIA -- To promote the well-being of students as they start making their own choices about healthy lifestyles, the YMCA of Philadelphia & Vicinity is offering free one-year memberships to seventh-grade students in 2010.
Students will have access to the YMCA's 10 branches in Pennsylvania and will be able to use the same services as paying members, including fitness equipment, group exercise classes, pools and basketball programs.
"As youth begin to face the varied challenges of adolescence, they are more likely to begin disassociating from formal organizations, to distance themselves from family and its support structures, and to experiment with unhealthy and illegal behaviors," the Pennsylvania State Alliance of YMCAs said in a statement. "The YMCA of Philadelphia & Vicinity has a longstanding tradition of creatively adapting its services to the changing needs and interest of its constituents and is proud to launch the 7th Grade Membership Initiative as a way to better engage, educate, and connect to our youth right when they need it most."
The Pennsylvania State Alliance of YMCAs established the state-wide initiative to support of the efforts of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, Department of Education and 500 school districts in the state, the organization said.

DALLAS — Shaquille O'Neal has sported many nicknames throughout his colorful career, most of them products of his own, entertaining imagination.
We wonder what the "Big Statue" sounds like to him? (Click here to see the what the proposed statue would look like.)
The four-time NBA champion and self-proclaimed "Most Dominant Ever" will get his own bronze statue outside of LSU's Pete Maravich Assembly Center's new practice facility on the campus in Baton Rouge, per a report in The Advocate.
From the sound of it, this could be one of the best statues of a former player to be erected anywhere. A 900-pound statue of Shaq smashing like he did during his LSU days … classic:
The tentative plan is to unveil the statue during the NBA off-season, said LSU associate vice chancellor for communications Herb Vincent.
… At age 39, O'Neal is currently the oldest player in the NBA and is likely near retirement, having struggled with injuries much of the season. He ranks fifth all-time in points scored in the NBA and fourth in postseason points scored.Vincent said the four-time NBA champion was a natural selection to be LSU's first statue of an athlete because he is an "iconic figure" worldwide. O'Neal also is the only LSU student athlete in any major sport to win a national player of the year award in college and an MVP award in the pros.
"We're honoring him for his accomplishments … and it's a good recruiting tool," Vincent said.
The $70,000 project is privately funded, he said.
"It's already been done," Vincent said. "It's in storage."
Not even Pistol Pete got a statue at LSU, so that should tell you what sort of esteem O'Neal is held in by the LSU faithful, as passionate a group fans as there is anywhere.
Since no one in Los Angeles is talking about adding a Shaq statue outside of the Staples Center, he might as well get bronzed where he can.
And you remember collegiate Shaq, don't you? He was an absolute monster:

For nearly 50 years, locals and tourists have relied exclusively on the Brooks Bridge to get them from Fort Walton Beach to Okaloosa Island and back.
For nearly 50 years, locals and tourists have relied exclusively on the Brooks Bridge to get them from Fort Walton Beach to Okaloosa Island and back.
But half a century is about as long as the state Department of Transportation is willing to allow a bridge to serve motorists.
See a photo gallery of the Brooks Bridge over the years. >>
Read about the history of the Brooks Bridge. >>
The DOT�s announcement in December that the bridge�s days were numbered came as a surprise to residents, who have been left to ponder a replacement bridge and how it might impact life on both sides of Santa Rosa Sound.
�It will destroy our little city,� said Fort Walton Beach businessman Jim Tucker. �I don�t see it any other way.�
Tucker has heard speculation that a new bridge could extend as far west into Fort Walton Beach as the Indian Temple Mound and as far east on Okaloosa Island as the Emerald Coast Convention Center.
Fort Walton Beach Mayor Mike Anderson said city officials have no idea what the proposed bridge replacement will look like.
�There are just so many unknowns about what the actual footprint is going to be,� he said.
Tucker has offered to sell his business, The Boat, to allow for construction of an alternate bridge. His property likely is too far west on U.S. Highway 98 to be directly impacted by a replacement bridge.
ARTICLE: Efforts to build second bridge never gained public support. >>
That isn�t the case for Brian O�Neill and co-owners of the popular Props Brewery & Grill.
Props is a popular brew pub that opened in December 2011 in the Publix shopping center at the western foot of Brooks Bridge.
O�Neill said Props� owners are well aware that a replacement span could be significantly wider than the existing 47-year-old structure and that their business could fall in its right of way.
�We�re in prime space to be bulldozed by eminent domain,� O�Neill said.
Eminent domain allows the government to take private property for public use as long as �just compensation� is paid.
Even if the bridge doesn�t go through Props, construction could have a significant impact, O�Neill said.
�A good piece of our business comes from the condominiums on Okaloosa Island,� he said. �If those folks are coming out from Santa Rosa Boulevard, look left and see construction, then right and see clear sailing into Destin, it�s a no-brainer.�
What is known is that when the Brooks Bridge was built in 1966, a 6 percent grade allowed it a 55-foot clearance for vessels passing beneath it.
The Federal Highway Administration now calls for bridges to have no steeper than a 3 percent grade, and the Coast Guard generally requires new bridges to clear the water by at least 65 feet.
Also, given that the DOT has graded Brooks Bridge an F for handling traffic beyond its capacity, it hardly would make sense to replace it without adding at least another lane of traffic in each direction.
In other words, Anderson said, the bridge would seem to need to be longer, flatter and wider.
With the development that has taken place on both sides of the bridge since 1966, Tommy Barfield, the DOT�s secretary for District 3, has estimated the cost of buying right of way could equal or exceed the cost of building the bridge.
The DOT and Coast Guard have said they will hold public hearings to air residents� concerns before any construction details are finalized.
It appears, at least this far out, there may be some wiggle room when it comes to federal bridge construction guidelines.
�Nothing is in stone. We do not put anything in stone,� said David Frank, Coast Guard bridge administrator for the 8th District, based in New Orleans.
Frank said the Coast Guard will rely heavily on information gathered in a four-year, $3.5 million DOT study �to best determine the clearance requirements that meet the reasonable needs of navigation.�
State Senate President Don Gaetz also said the Federal Highway Administration might consider an exemption to its 3 percent slope mandate.
�If the community says, �We want to replace Brooks Bridge but don�t want to impact downtown business,� we probably need to seek an exemption,� Gaetz said.
He suggested U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller be included in future discussions about the best way to replace the bridge.
Miller�s office said no one has notified the congressman of any bridge concerns, but he is willing to listen and lend a hand if needed.

Practical Environmentalism: The FedEx Way
Practical Environmentalism is strategic and transformational environmental stewardship that adds tangible value in the effort to be more responsible. A household, a business, or a government can practice it. When applied to business, it encompasses economic viability, strategic integration, team member involvement, and doing what's right for stakeholders.
This is the approach FedEx has used—and it is paying off for us in the form of savings, innovation, and other forms of intangible business value. I have described the building blocks for Practical Environmentalism to include:
• Performance
• Transparency
• Innovation
• Leadership
We are practicing each of these building blocks - constantly seeking opportunities for continuous improvement:
But why should we also focus upon Innovation and Leadership? Simply put, they are critical. They are both inwardly and outwardly focused. They help to change what's possible within an organization; but they often affect and influence in a much larger sphere, sometimes society at large, as the chart below shows.
Practical Environmentalism can provide the blueprint for a structure that's built to last. Environmental performance is part of the solid foundation. Leadership helps expand the structure's benefit to others, not just the original occupants. Transparency acts like windows, allowing outsiders to see in, and the occupants to view the landscape outside. And, Innovation keeps the occupants dry, safe and warm during the changing seasons.
It is a pleasure to be participating in the Green to Gold Playbook "BRASS TACKS" Blog.
One additional important source of practical advice that I recommend for everyone is Environmental Defense Fund's driving tips (which are also covered in more depth in The Green to Gold Business Playbook's chapter on "Logistics and Transportation").
I look forward to learning from others, putting solutions into practice, and perfecting our approach. As the old saying goes, practice makes perfect.
For more, visit the FedEx Blog at blog.fedex.com and click on the EarthSmart menu.
Performance: Business owes the public more than a good performance, but it's the necessary start. As, such, FedEx was the first company in the U.S. transportation-logistics industry to set a goal to reduce carbon dioxide in global aviation. Through calendar year 2009, we have achieved a reduction of 12.9% from our 2005 baseline. We were the first in our industry to set a goal to improve the mileage of our FedEx Express vehicles back in 2008. To date, we've achieved a 15.1% improvement in fuel economy since 2005. And, FedEx Express made LEED® Certification the standard for newly-built U.S. facilities.
Transparency: Materiality matters. As such, FedEx was the first company in the U.S. transportation-logistics industry to establish a Citizenship Blog, to report global Scope 1 (direct) greenhouse gas emissions in 2008, and to disclose climate risks to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Why is this important? It gives information to our stakeholders on what we are doing, why it is important, and where we are heading. Think about it, it's similar to our customer service - we move our customers' goods (which are extremely important to them, and us); we tell them where those goods are during shipment; and tell them when they have been delivered to their final destination.
Innovation: FedEx has worked closely with the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) to create innovative, clean delivery vans. This work resulted in EDF declaring that, "FedEx leadership has helped to make hybrid truck technology a reality…FedEx led the launch that changed the marketplace." More than 200 fleets have since purchased the very vehicles we had developed. But, we haven't stopped there. We've gone on to push for electric vehicles, not only for commercial vehicles, but passenger ones, as well. Check out this video on the need to move to a diversified transportation portfolio.
Leadership: FedEx was the first company in the U.S. transportation-logistics industry to push for commercial-vehicle fuel-economy legislation, which was enacted in the Energy Independence & Security Act of 2007. And, we helped create a set of principles to inform and support this first-ever national greenhouse gas / fuel efficiency program for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.

Rihanna Goes Topless While Getting Ready for a Show [Pic]
Rihanna ... topless? That's nothing new, right? Well, she has chilled with posting the in-the-buff shots as of late, but she's back to her old tricks again. The singer shared a topless shot (April 22) of herself in yellow panties and covering her boobies with a white robe while getting ready for one of the gigs on her Diamonds Tour.
She captioned the shot "Show Time!!," so she was being attended to by her makeup artist as she prepped, primped and primed to entertain her beloved Navy.
Even though she is a fashionista, RiRi really prefers to be shirt-free as much as possible.

Catching Particle Fever
Documentary gives physics fans a look inside the Large Hadron Collider
Courtesy of PF Productions
There's a brilliant dreamlike sequence about halfway through the documentary Particle Fever, when theoretical physicist Nima Arkani-Hamed enters his building at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Princeton, N.J., looking troubled. Cartoon equations and figures swirl around his head. As he walks upstairs to his office and starts to work, the building's windows fall away. Shortly thereafter, the whole world disintegrates into a mess of alternate universes, almost none of which could support life. Could our existence be an accident, the film asks, and our attempts to understand nature a folly?
"This is the sort of thing that really keeps you up at night," Arkani-Hamed says. In the film, much of his life's work is riding on measurements emerging from the Large Hadron Collider, a giant ring-shaped particle accelerator under the Franco-Swiss border. The stakes are high too for David Kaplan, the Johns Hopkins physicist who conceived the film.

I don't know how many folk know Peter Follansbee's work but everyone here should. Greenwood chairmaking has a very long history and we only dabble in a small part of the more recent history. The largest part is frame furniture with mortice and tenon joints. It is not commonly known but these were originally made from green wood and the jointing system designed to cope with movement just like a miniature timber framed house.
It seems a shame that serious research and experimentation on this subject is only going on in the US, who in the UK is going to take up this wonderful area of work and become our UK expert? They would have far easier access to far more original pieces than Peter has had for his research and there is good demand from museums for good quality replica work.
Anyway if you want to be that person or if you just want to have a fascinating insight into a related but different form of green woodworking I am sure this book will be a gem. It's only just out in the UK no one knows about I haven't even got my copy yet, it it's available here.

It didn't sell particularly well when it came out, but it has since become a favorite among his fans. On Sept. 11, 1973, Bruce Springsteen released his second album, The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle.
"It was an interesting record," Springsteen said before a one-off full-album performance of it at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 7, 2009. "Half the songs are kind of set in New Jersey and around our little street corner … and the other half are sort of my romantic fantasies of New York City."
That split personality means that the The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle lacks the musical focus of Darkness on the Edge of Town or Nebraska. But that's also a large part of its appeal. In seven songs, Springsteen touches on rock, soul, folk, funk, jazz (with swing and Gershwinesque piano interludes) and fairground music. Think of it as if Van Morrison relocated to the boardwalks of the Jersey Shore.
It's also where Springsteen's songwriting grew in leaps and bounds. The attention to lyrical detail hinted at on his debut, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J., released earlier that year, would be out in greater force — from the boardwalk fortune tellers and petty thugs to a street musician and a trash collector.
The opening one-two punch of "The E Street Shuffle" and "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)" is a perfect example of his cinematic approach. If the former is the typical scene in a teenage movie where the dance at the high school gym takes place, the latter is where the hero walks out and tells his girlfriend he needs to leave town and find something better.
The raucous, jazzy "Kitty's Back" — complete with a full horn section, call-and-response vocals and extended solos by Springsteen and keyboardist David Sancious — is next, followed by the musical 180-degree turn of"'Wild Billy's Circus Story," which closes out the first side. A surreal portrait of a traveling carnival, the song features Springsteen accompanying himself on acoustic guitar as an accordion, tuba, mandolin and percussion fly in and out of the mix.
Side two is a three-song suite bookended by two of those New York songs. With their depiction of young romance set amid a gritty urban backdrop, "Incident on 57th Street" and "New York City Serenade" can be seen as precursor to Born to Run's "Jungleland." In between is the epic "Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)," which would close out the main set of nearly every Springsteen and the E Street Band show until 1988, practically taking on a life of its own in the process.
Musically, Springsteen would never be so eclectic again. The main reason for this is that this incarnation of the E Street Band didn't last much longer. A few months after the album's release, drummer Vini "Mad Dog" Lopez was fired after a fight with manager Mike Appel's brother. He was replaced by Ernest "Boom" Carter.
After recording the song "Born to Run" in the summer of 1974, Carter and Sancious left to form a jazz fusion group called Tone, which released four albums on Epic and Arista. The duo was replaced by "Mighty" Max Weinberg and "Professor" Roy Bittan. The new lineup helped facilitate Springsteen's move to a more straightforward rock approach on subsequent albums.

Chris Crane, president of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) National Council, has denounced the amendment of Sens. Corker and Hoeven to the Senate immigration reform bill. So too has Kenneth Palinkas, president of the National Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Council.
Crane contends that "the 1,200 page substitute bill before the Senate will provide instant legalization and a path to citizenship to gang members and other dangerous criminal aliens, and handcuff ICE officers from enforcing immigration laws in the future." He adds that the legislation "provides no means of effectively enforcing visa overstays which account for almost half of the nation's illegal immigration crisis." "Instead of empowering ICE agents to enforce the law," Crane complains, "this legislation empowers political appointees to further violate the law and unilaterally stop enforcement."
Palinkas concurs. He believes that the revised bill will exacerbate USCIS concerns about threats to national security and public safety. According to Palinkas, "the Corker-Hoeven substitute proposal, like the original proposal, will lead to the rubber stamping of millions of applications for both amnesty and future admissions." Indeed, "this bill rewards immigrants who break the law, more so than the prior bill proposed by the Gang of Eight."
Ironically, Sen. Corker actually agrees with part of the ICE-USCIS critique. He has admitted that his amendment fails properly to address the problem of interior enforcement. He says that he wanted to, but apparently the Democrats wouldn't agree.
Corker and Hoeven turned out to be cheap dates for Team Amnesty.

Some interesting ideas. Whilst I agree it would be good to persuade some of our previously successful fencer to make a return, this is not the only solution.
There are a number of successful vets who are relatively new to fencers. At least 2 of the medal winners at the recent Europeans were examples- Michelle Narey and Jane Hutchison. The thing that they both have in common is a serious attitude to training, This probably applies to most of the ex-top fencers. It is a combination of some talent and hard work that brings success.

On the Ball: Playoff seeds are out
OK, the Vermont Principals' Association released field hockey and soccer pairings this afternoon, and there were few surprises. The VPA's new in-season "Sports Rankings" – essentially division standings based on scores reported by coaches – proved to be pretty accurate. Teams ended up where they were projected to almost without exception.
That fact means the highest seeds awarded to local high school teams were in field hockey. Otter Valley (10-4) got the No. 3 nod in Division II, and Middlebury (6-5-3) is No. 6 in D-I. Both teams will host games.
OV gets a bye until Friday, when the Otters will host No. 6 Milton (6-4-4) in a quarterfinal. Milton plays in the league consisting of mostly D-III teams; 10 of its 14 games came against D-III foes. The Otters and Yellowjackets did not play each other, and have no common opponents.
Things will get interesting if OV wins, though: The No. 2 seed and probable OV semifinal foe on Saturday morning is Woodstock (11-3), which upset the heavily favored Otters a year ago when OV was the top seed. OV and Woodstock split two games this fall, each winning on the others' turf, 1-0. The most recent game was an OV win on Oct. 13 that Coach Gary Hodder said may have been his team's best effort of the season.
Sticking for the moment in D-II, Mount Abraham is the No. 9 seed at 2-11-1. The Eagles play at No. 8 Spaulding (5-7-2) on Tuesday, with the winner to face No. 1 Harwood (10-1-3) on Saturday morning. The Eagles played a schedule against seven D-I teams, twice each. Both Spaulding and Harwood played in the same league as Milton, a much softer schedule. Watching Mount Abe play competitive field hockey this fall against D-I teams like Essex (a tie), Mount Mansfield (an overtime loss), Burlington (a win) and MUHS (a one-goal loss), I see no reason the Eagles cannot compete successfully in the tournament. That's not a prediction of a trophy, but I won't be stunned if the Eagles don't do well or even earn some hardware.
In D-I, MUHS will host winless Burlington on Wednesday in a first-round game. The Tigers defeated the Seahorses twice this fall, 4-0 and 3-0. The only teams to beat them at home are No. 1 South Burlington (14-0) and No. 3 Essex (10-3-1). Speaking of Essex, the Hornets are up next for MUHS on Saturday morning barring a Wednesday shocker. That home loss was by 3-2 in a game the Tigers felt they had outplayed Essex, and in which the Hornets scored the winning goal when the Tiger defense was confused by a loud football whistle on an adjacent field. Essex did win the Oct. 12 rematch on its field, though, 3-1, and the Tigers will have to play better on the road than they have in the past two seasons. If they prevail, defending champion Hartford (13-0) would almost certainly be waiting in a semifinal.
Both the D-I and D-II finals will be played at UVM on Nov. 6.
The MUHS boys' soccer team had the best season in these parts, and the 6-6-2 Tigers were rewarded with the highest seed in the D-II playoffs, a No. 10 nod. Here's where the VPA rankings were a little misleading: Woodstock and Rice, both 8-6, were tied in the point standings, but the Wasps were given the higher nod in the rankings. But when the seeds came out, Rice got the nod at No. 6, and Woodstock was No. 7. It's always hard to predict, but that switch may not hurt the Tigers, who play at Woodstock on Tuesday. The Tigers and Wasps have two common opponents, Fair Haven and Mill River. The Tigers defeated Fair Haven, 8-0, at home, and Mill River, 2-1, at a tournament in Rutland. Woodstock, which played an easier schedule than MUHS, split two one-goal games with Mill River, and defeated the Slaters by 2-1 and 4-0. Even on the road, it's fair to say the Tigers are at least an even bet. Next up would be No. 2 Missisquoi on Friday. The Tigers tied the T-Birds at home, 1-1, and lost to them on the road, 2-1.
Mount Abe (3-10-1) earned the No. 12 seed, and also drew an interesting match-up: No. 5 Green Mt. Valley (5-3) on Tuesday. The Eagles defeated GMVS at MUHS early in the season, 2-1, although the Gumbies won the rematch in Bristol, 3-0, on Oct. 11.
If the Eagles win, their fate would be tied to that of No. 13 OV (3-10-1), which travels to meet No. 4 Springfield on Tuesday. The winner of the Eagles' and Otters' games will play each other. And OV earned a 2-2 tie at Springfield on Oct. 9, although the Cosmos defeated the Otters at Arlington's season-opening tourney, 3-0. OV and Mount Abe did not play each other, nor did GMVS and OV, nor the Eagles and Springfield.
Finally, No. 14 VUHS (2-10-2) drew a tough assignment on Tuesday: No. 3 Milton (11-3). The Yellowjackets defeated the Commodores at VUHS on Saturday, 6-0, and VUHS has dropped eight straight since a 2-2-2 start.
U-32 (11-1-2) is the top seed, and the final will be played on Nov. 6 at a site to be determined.
The Commodore girls' 6-6-2 record proved to be good enough for the No. 7 seed in the D-II tournament, and they will host No. 10 U-32 (4-7-3) on Wednesday. The teams have two common foes. The Raiders lost at Montpelier, 4-0; the Solons (No. 1 in D-II at 12-0-2) won at VUHS, 1-0. The Raiders lost at Lamoille, 1-0; the Commodores tied the Lancers this past Saturday, 1-1. If the Commodores prevail, they will travel to No. 2 Milton (13-1) on Saturday. Milton won at VUHS this fall, 2-0.
The tournament looks challenging for the other three local girls' teams. No. 11 MUHS (2-9-3) plays at No. 6 Springfield (8-6). The teams have one common foe, Fair Haven. The Tigers beat the Slaters, 1-0, and the Cosmos defeated them by 2-0 and 3-0. No. 3 GMVS (7-2) would probably face the winner on Saturday.
No. 12 Mount Abe (2-10-2) plays at No. 5 Hartford (8-4-2) on Tuesday. The teams have no common opponents. No. 4 Harwood would probably face the winner on Saturday, unless No. 13 Otter Valley (2-12) pulls off the upset of the Highlanders on Wednesday. Harwood and OV have no common foes.
Because of our Wednesday noon deadline, we will be unable to feature the MUHS field hockey or VUHS girls' soccer games in our Thursday print edition. We'll get something in on the Wednesday game by Thursday morning online.
Best of luck to all the teams.

Episode 2 does feel a bit more… let's say cinematic, than Episode 1 did. Since most of the decisions you make are personal ones, it doesn't really feel like you can choose where to go or what to investigate next. You simply push forward, taking the evidence you find, and following it to your next conclusion. There are no big splits like there were in Episode 1, when you had to choose to purse
It's worth noting that Episode 2 is far more technically sound than Episode 1 was. There weren't any graphical errors, nor were there any instances where the game crashed. The cursor worked just fine and I never got stuck in an area where the game wigged out and wouldn't move forward. Loading times are a little bit longer this time around, but it's worth it for the game to be more stable. These glitches really pulled you out of the action in Episode 1, so it's a good thing that they are all fixed up here.
It's really hard to say what is good about this game without spoiling anything, but take our word for it, this episode was much more enjoyable than Episode 1. It felt like everything that happened was much more important. Instead of simply bringing up new questions, which is much of what happened in Episode 1, it actually felt like Bigby was getting closer to solving the mystery. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time trying to piece together clues. In fact, most of the fun of The Wolf Among Us: Episode 2 took place outside of the game itself as you try to put together facts and piece together what is happening before Bigby does. This is the video game version of the great mystery novel, a digital Sherlock Holmes if you will.
Final verdict? Well if you enjoyed Episode 1 of The Wolf Among Us, you'll love Episode 2. If you didn't enjoy Episode 1 of The Wolf Among Us… what the heck is the matter with you? Telltale continues to prove why they are a master of their craft with Smoke and Mirrors. In fact, the only thing wrong with this episode, is that we are going to have to wait another few months before we find out what happens next. Go out and purchase The Wolf Among Us: Episode 2 today. You won't regret it.

Soloy Aviation Solutions has obtained approval from Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) for its Honeywell engine conversion for the Eurocopter AS350BA and B2.
The company already had supplemental type certificates from the U.S. FAA (SR00805SE for the LTS101-600A-3A in the AS350BA and SR01647SE for the LTS101-700D-2 in the AS350B2). Issuance of Brazilian approvals (CHST Nos. 2008S01-12 for STC SR00805SE and 2008S01-13 for STC SR01647SE) have now been completed.
Over the last 24 months, Soloy has supplied over 75 SD1 (BA) and SD2 (B2) kits in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. "This approval opens the way for Brazilian operators to have the same engine options for these very popular helicopters as enjoyed by our many existing customers," said David Stauffer, Soloy's CEO. "Proven benefits of enhanced performance, maintenance-cost reduction and reduced fuel consumption are becoming well known."

FORT MEADE, Md. — Bradley Manning wants to live as a woman named Chelsea and begin hormone treatment as soon as possible, the soldier said a day after being sentenced to 35 years in prison for sending government secrets to WikiLeaks.
FORT MEADE, Md. — Bradley Manning wants to live as a woman named Chelsea and begin hormone treatment as soon as possible, the soldier said a day after being sentenced to 35 years in prison for sending government secrets to WikiLeaks.
Manning announced the decision Thursday in a statement provided to NBC's "Today" show, asking supporters to refer to him by his new name and the feminine pronoun. The statement was signed "Chelsea E. Manning."
"As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me. I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female. Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible," the statement read.
Manning received the stiffest punishment ever handed out in the U.S. for leaking information to the media. With good behavior and credit for the more than three years of time served, Manning could be out in as little as seven years, his attorney David Coombs said.
Coombs told "Today" he hoped officials at the military prison in Fort Leavenworth, Kan., will accommodate Manning's request for hormone treatment, but the Army said it doesn't provide it or sex-reassignment surgery.
"All inmates are considered soldiers and are treated as such with access to mental health professionals, including a psychiatrist, psychologist, social workers and behavioral science noncommissioned officers," Army spokesman George Wright said.
Coombs said he would do "everything in my power to make sure" Manning received hormone treatment. He did not respond to phone and emails from The Associated Press.
Manning's struggle with gender identity disorder — the sense of being a woman trapped in a man's body — was key at his court-martial.
Retired Sgt. 1st Class Paul Adkins testified as a defense witness, saying in April 2010, just a month before Manning was arrested, the soldier emailed him a picture of himself in a blonde wig and lipstick with a letter titled, "My problem."
"I don't know what to do anymore, and the only 'help' that seems to be available is severe punishment and/or getting rid of me," the email said. "All I do know, is that fear of getting caught has caused me to go to great lengths to consciously hide the problem."
Manning's attorney said the email was evidence the military knew of Manning's struggles, yet allowed him to stay in Iraq as an intelligence analyst and keep his security clearance.
Meanwhile, Coombs and supporters said they will ask the Army to reduce Manning's sentence and they want President Barack Obama to grant a pardon.
"The time to end Brad's suffering is now," Coombs told a news conference after Manning's sentence was handed down. "The time for our president to focus on protecting whistleblowers instead of punishing them is now."
The lawyer decried the government's pursuit of Manning for what the soldier said was only an effort to expose wrongdoing and prompt debate of government policies among the American public.
The sentencing fired up the long-running debate over whether Manning was a whistleblower or a traitor for giving more than 700,000 classified military and diplomatic documents, plus battlefield footage, to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. By volume alone, it was the biggest leak of classified material in U.S. history, bigger even than the Pentagon Papers a generation ago.
Manning was to return to the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Coombs said, adding that he didn't know precisely when the soldier would leave Maryland. Coombs said he will file a request early next week that Obama pardon Manning or commute his sentence to time served.
Coombs read from a letter Manning will send to the president that read: "I regret if my actions hurt anyone or harmed the United States. It was never my intent to hurt anyone."
The White House said the request would be considered "like any other application." However, a pardon seems unlikely. Manning's case was part of an unprecedented string of prosecutions brought by the U.S. government in a crackdown on security breaches. The Obama administration has charged seven people with leaking to the media; only three people were prosecuted under all previous presidents combined.
Coombs also will work in coming weeks on a separate process in which he can seek leniency from the local area commander, who under military law must review — and could reduce — Manning's convictions and sentence.
Manning was found guilty last month of 20 crimes, including six violations of the Espionage Act, but was acquitted of the most serious charge, aiding the enemy, which carried a potential sentence of life in prison without parole.
Coombs said that he was in tears after the sentencing and that Manning comforted him by saying: "Don't worry about it. It's all right. I know you did your best. … I'm going to be OK. I'm going to get through this."
Associated Press writer Eric Tucker in Washington contributed to this report.

Online necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 1 diseños de 1 diseñadores freelance.
Current site is http://www.sanfranciscoford.com. Problem is that the site does not effectively capture leads or promote consumer action.
An example of the manufacturer's site is http://northerncaliforniaford.net. This site is much closer to concept.
What I want to build is a site template that can be used for all the dealership across the country. The site will need to capture the lead. And must tell the person to go to their email to complete the process. The site will need to be SEO friendly and will need to have an administration function so that each dealer can populate it with their area specific information.
I own an online marketing company and Ford is a current client. My focus is bringing large off line OEM manufacturs online. They lack a lot of expertise in proper design and online marketing including email, etc.
Site will be for promotion puposes, so we are only looking at one capture page including model dropdown, a privacy link, and a email template to further qualify the consumer.
Must be Ford
Must have a clear data capture area
Must have a final page directing the consumer to go to their email to complete the process.
The email template will ask 4-5 basic pre qualification questions such as how is your credit (drop down Good, Excellent, Poor), when do you intend to buy (immediate, couple of weeks, months, just looking), do you intend to place a down payment, buy vs.lease.
Must have an API or some way to populate a database with the consumer information.
Must have a pre checked box on the site saying "I have read and agree to the privacy policy and want to receive special offers"
Must have an area that promotes the latest specials. Like the manufacturers site has a place promoting the employee pricing discount.
Must have links for the privacy policy.
- Item 1...Clutter
- No action
- coppy. I want a clean clean site.

Space and daily life: young people around the world have their say
ESA PR 62-2002. The European Space Agency (ESA) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) are jointly participating in World Space Week 2002 by organising a two-day event focussing on the International Space Station (ISS) at ESA's European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, on 6/7 October.
On 7 October the award ceremony for the winners of the essay contest organized by UNESCO for high-school students on the theme 'Space and Daily Life' will take place. The contest received 300 responses from around the world. A high-level expert committee, including representatives from the International Space University and Canadian Space Agency, selected the winners on 10 September. With about the same numbers of girls and boys taking part, six girls and one boy had their essays selected.
Carike Bosman from South Africa wrote the most inspiring essay. In her work, the 17-year-old describes humankind's enthusiasm for space: "Fascination, wonder and even obsession with space and in particular human space travel, have existed throughout many generations."
The special ESA prize for 'Best European Essay' goes to Alastair Evans of the United Kingdom. In his work, Alastair stresses the benefits that space exploration brings to our daily lives: "In the history of space exploration and in the foreseeable future, work has been peaceful and international, promoting good relationships between countries."
Carike and Alastair will both travel to ESTEC for the special award ceremony on 7 October. To make their day at ESTEC even more memorable, the prize winners will be escorted by European astronaut Umberto Guidoni, the first European astronaut on board the International Space Station. Umberto will take the special guests on a Virtual Reality Tour through the ISS and share his personal experiences of space.
ESA experts from the ISS programme will escort the guests on a special tour of the ISS User Information Centre where models of the European contribution to the space station are displayed.

BRISTOL — Bristol Elementary sixth-grader Jacob Gorton, son of Jackie and Katie Gorton, last month was diagnosed with leukemia. Since then, the cash-strapped family has received an overwhelming wave of community support.
Family friends are organizing fundraisers, have established a fund to help pay for Gorton's treatments, and are holding a meeting for anyone interested in supporting Jacob and his family. The meeting is next Tuesday, May 8, at 6:30 p.m. in the Bristol Elementary School library at 6:30 p.m.
Plowing through stories to meet looming deadlines is an everyday occurrence for reporters at the Addison Independent and publications across the country.
But, the other week, I emerged from this heavy state of concentration with shoulders stiff as steel sheaths and a back knotted like an old oak tree. Worse yet, I felt like someone had dropped an anvil on my butt.
All in all, I felt downright awful.
Editor's note: This is the third in a series of stories that look at how the numbers of local families accessing food assistance programs have changed in the past decade.

BRISTOL — In preparation for the Bristol selectboard's May 14 public hearing on the new draft of the town plan, the board met with the town's planning commission at its Monday meeting (to read the draft, click here).
Selectwoman Carol Wells, wife of former planning commission Chair Tom Wells, took issue with the plan's lack of clarity surrounding a key component: resource extraction.
BRISTOL — As the weather is warming up, so too is the Bristol business scene.
Among the many recent developments in the county's second largest town are an ownership change at the Almost Home Market on North Street, a new ice cream shop set to move in on Main Street and new landlords for the old Bristol High School building, which houses a number of prominent businesses.

VERMONT — When Gene Nolette, owner of Leicester-based Gene's Property Management, went to buy the popular fertilizer mix "10-10-10" for lawn application this month, he was surprised to find that he wasn't able to.
The fertilizer, aptly labeled for its three main nutrients, is comprised of 10 percent nitrogen, 10 percent phosphorus and 10 percent potassium. But a Legislative act passed in 2011, which took effect Jan. 1, has outlawed the application of phosphorus fertilizers on lawns, with a few exceptions.

NHL Game Night: 1-25-14 Avalanche at Lightning
Did Tyler Johnson just take the lead in the Calder Trophy race?
Ben Bishop allowed 2 goals on 27 shots for the victory. He made one key stop in the Third Period when the Lightning were clinging to their 1 goal lead, and the team just pulled away from there. That's what good goaltenders do.
First Period
Second Period
7:15 TB Johnson (14), (Hedman, Palat)
8:48 TB Barberio (3), (Filppula, Killorn)
18:04 TB Filppula (19), (Brown, Kucherov)
18:33 COL Mitchell (5), (Landeskog, Barrie)
19:03 COL Barrie (6), (MacKinnon, Parenteau)
Third Period
14:38 TB Johnson (15), (St Louis, Hedman)
16:55 TB Johnson (16), (Hedman, Salo)
Johnson, Ondrej Palat, and Victor Hedman were the game's three stars. Much love to the Tampa media for their tip of the hat to Ondrej, who did not get enough credit on the SunSports broadcast for the play he made to create the game opening goal. People, just because Dr. Drej creeps to mic like a phantom does not mean you should treat his contributions as invisible.
Coming into this game, the NHL was just starting to warm up to the idea of Tyler Johnson being a legitimate foil to Nathan MacKinnon in the race for the Calder Trophy. Johnson was second in rookie scoring. MacKinnon was first. And, it didn't hurt that the two were about to play head-to-head, so a little manufactured heat was supplied. Now? Now there's real heat, because Johnson just whipped MacKinnon in the head-to-head with a hat trick. That's the kind of thing that rarely happens that cleanly in team sports and that you cannot ignore. Johnson just ran roughshod over MacKinnon and Colorado, and it's impossible now to argue he's not a serious Calder Trophy contender. In fact, he probably just edged out to a little lead.
That was meat and potatoes Lightning hockey, overall. Very north-south. Rebound goals. Tip in goals. Greasy goals off of deflections. It's the kind of win Jon Cooper's going to point to and say, "See, there? You don't have to tie a ribbon around everything to score 5." It's a beautiful thing. Beating the team Len Barrie's son plays for is also a beautiful thing. Dan Boyle and every Lightning fan around the world approve of the outcome.
Mark Barberio had a goal and was +2 with 2 penalty minutes and 2 shots in 15:32. It was one of those mixed bag games from Barberio. Offensively he was good, earning his goal off a shot that pinged in off an Avs defender's leg. Defensively, well, the PK bailed him out after he got beat like a drum off the wall and had to haul a man down. I look forward to the day those kind of mistakes don't happen, because it'll mean more ice time for Barberio and more opportunities for him to get on the offensive side of the puck, where he's useful and good.
J.T. Brown had a helper and was +1 with 1 shot in 12:46. The stat line doesn't tell the tale. His line was en fuego tonight. He nearly completed a nifty deke for a goal in the First Period and nearly set up Valtterri Filppula for a breakaway on a heads up pass in the Third Period. As it was, his awareness led to Filppula's goal in the Second Period, with Brown hitting Filppula streaking off the bench for a one-on-one chance on the netminder.
Nikita Kucherov had a helper and was +1 in 13:45. How badly did he want to score tonight to get a measure of revenge on Patrick Roy, who traded him when the two were with Quebec in the QMJHL. Again, the stats don't tell the tale. Kucherov had 5 missed shots and one of his shots blocked. He just couldn't find the range, but he was creating deadly scoring chances all night. He just barely missed the icing on the cake goal late in the Third Period on a power play where he, frankly, just decided to take over the game. There was steam coming out of his ears by the end of the shift he wanted it so bad. I predict more classic confrontations against Roy down the road for Kucherov and the Lightning. By the way, as a side note, Roy may very well have shot himself in the foot inserting Varlamov in the Third Period, and I wonder if he regrets that decision considering his team had pulled within 1 goal already.

The user-level solution is indexing both username and password by URL. My system, a command-line Ruby gem, does that. 1password, a cheap OS X app, does the same thing.
The site-level solution: named login URLs. For instance:
Or in a Rails style:
You make that URL a bookmarklet on your site just by wrapping it around a graphic which the user can drag to their bookmarks bar. Then, if they forget their password, you don't have to ask them who they are, because you already know that much, even when they don't.

Paralympian Ryan Chalmers to Go Cross-Country in His Wheelchair for Charity
Watch out, America. Here comes Ryan Chalmers.
The 23-year-old Chalmers, who's been in a wheelchair his whole life after being born with spina bifida, will travel cross-country in his wheelchair to raise money for Stay-Focused, an organization that helps teenagers and young adults enjoy diving.
Chalmers will set off from Los Angeles on April 6 for a 71-day trip that will end in New York City. Chalmers is a gifted athlete who most recently competed in the Paralympic Games in London last year.
Chalmers, who will push roughly the same distance as two-to-three marathons each day, also hopes to raise awareness that anyone can live a full life:
This whole journey that I'll be doing is to show people that being disabled, you are still able to do anything that you put your mind to. You're not letting it hold you back."
You can track Chalmers' progress as he makes his way across the US before reaching the Big Apple on June 15.

This isn't the weekend where New Yorkers will mistake Carrie Bradshaw for Terry Bradshaw.
One character embraces the blustery city as it is, fabulous warts and all. The other, not so much, for several obvious reasons.
But it's not as if that's a huge character flaw on his part.
"I don't look at it as a positive," Fox Sports NFL studio analyst Terry Bradshaw said recently about why the league decided to drop the 48th edition of the Super Bowl in the great northeast metropolitan area that sits in freezing temperatures this time of year.
"I don't quite understand why we're in New York. Great city. Was there some deal worked out?"
The deal is: Fox employees like Bradshaw who spend most of the fall weekends flying into Los Angeles to do their work don't particularly feel a need to deal with this inconvenient truth that a pregame show outdoors in less-than-ideal conditions is best for their health during this cold-and-flu season.
Believe me, if you've had a taste of this latest flu strain, you'd take every precaution to avoid it.
The other deal is: It's going to make for great TV either way. And TV is where the NFL's frozen bread is buttered.
That's the positive angle for Fox, which is covering the whole shebang from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., but will have the first part of its pregame show in New York.
Everyone's going to be talking about the weather, but no one's going to try to do anything about it. Especially if it's nasty. That just makes it more sexy for the city.
"If there is (bad) weather, there will be potentially more initial tune in," deducted Fox Sports exec Eric Shanks. "I couldn't say how much or what, but this is probably the biggest Super Bowl in the modern era to have this much discussion about something in addition to the game and the players. It's going to have to manifest itself into more people tuning in."
Except if influential TV guys like Bradshaw aren't on board, doesn't that defeat the purpose of crowning a champion in a cold-weather, miserable-condition situation?
"Yeah. I wouldn't want to play in that weather," repeated Bradshaw, who won the last of his four Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1980 against the Los Angeles Rams at the balmy Pasadena Rose Bowl – and was even named game MVP despite throwing three interceptions.
"It should be more of a reward not so much for the city or the NFL but for the players."
Bradshaw, working the 10th NFL championship game of his broadcast career, even took his complaints to WFAN, the all-sports anchor of New York, when he echoed this week: "Thank you commissioner, thank you Super Bowl committee for putting us in New York. And we all know why we're in New York, it's because they were paid for that stupid stadium in New Jersey … By the way, not a gorgeous stadium either."
True enough. But please, continue.
"It's freakin' outside in New York, are you kidding me? Not even New York — New Jersey. It's not like Minnesota, it's a dome. It's not like it's Detroit, it's a dome. It's not like it's Indy, it's a dome."
Then again, when someone like Bradshaw starts making sense …
"I don't want it to be bad, 'cause I'm there. I want it to be nice, but I don't think you should be putting Super Bowls in northern cities in the winter time."
Maybe in his next career, Bradshaw will get into TV programming side. For now, he's just one of the meat puppets who happens to have an opinion counter what his employers would want to hear, with enough gumption to say it without fear of expulsion.
Monte Burke, a staff writer at Forbes (the magazine whose proud motto remains "The Capitalistic Tool"), pointed out in a column this week that "the weather means very little to the folks who matter to the $9 billion-plus league (revenues) — the advertisers, who are paying a reported $4 million for a 30-second ad during this year's game. The reason these brands will fork over that amount of dough is that folks at home will tune into the game even if the wind chill is -3 degrees. And they will watch those ads."
Football, to a large degree, is unpredictable. So is the weather.
"This year's Super Bowl brings these two abiding passions together," Burke concludes.
To help the millions of viewers embrace the weather as a teaching moment, Fox will add a few more graphic devices to its broadcast. One of them, the "Fox Weather Trax," will attempt to illustrate the airflow patterns that take place inside the stadium that could affect kickers and quarterbacks. Shanks said it's coming from the same folks who did wind forecasting and graphic displays for the America's Cup sailing event recently in San Francisco.
So it'll be incumbent upon everyone — including the human officials on the field who won't get the chance to head to the sideline to warm their hands between possession exchanges — to not just look at how the little flags are blowing atop the field goal posts to determine how the game could change on a little wind gust at just the right moment.
"Wind is obviously an invisible factor that can directly affect the outcome of a game," said Zac Fields, Fox Sports' VP of graphics and technology. "Since the wind has a notorious reputation in the New Jersey Meadowlands, and given the magnitude of the game, we looked for and found a great tool to depict this phenomenon in excellent detail."
Ultimately, the weather that could impact the game most isn't what's related to the New York-New Jersey area, but the rest of the country. If they're indoors because the weather outside their windows isn't delightful, all the better for the game. As it turns out, rain may be finally on its way for Southern California on Sunday. That can only help.
Joe Buck, calling his fourth Super Bowl for Fox, admitted on the Dan Patrick radio show this week that he's openly rooting for snow.
"We've all wasted so much time (talking about the) weather," he said. "A little snow, a little wind whipping around will be a good thing."
Bradshaw, who has been asked to put himself out there and present the Lombardi Trophy to the winning team at game's end Sunday, is quoted at SportsIllustrated.com this week that he doesn't "like any restrictions or excuses. I am happy for my network, because it will bring so much exposure to Fox. And is there a greater city than New York City? From that standpoint, I am thrilled."
Yet, if only . . .
"We are team people here," he finished, "but I would rather we had the game where it was warm and we could sneak off and play golf."
Sure, but try getting a foursome at Rancho Park Golf Course across from the Fox lot on Pico Boulevard, on a Sunday morning. Even if it's freezing rain.

Gauging the media's high- and low-level marks of the week, and what's ahead:
It's too bad respected journalist and author Jeff Pearlman felt the need to backtrack over what he called an impulsive blog post (at jeffpearlman.com) in the aftermath of how he singled out Fox Sports reporter Erin Andrews for the way she handled the interview/rant of Seattle Seahawks defensive back Richard Sherman at the end of the NFC championship game. Pearlman's guilt pangs over referring to Andrews as "the Kardashian of televised sports" apparently got the best of him, and while it may have triggered some volatile reader response, the intent of his original post shouldn't be lost: Attractive women gain an inside track on TV sideline jobs and some are not fully capable of handling all that is required during a live, volatile broadcast. Pearlman admits that those who accused him of being sexist "tore" the most at his insides. Thus, he clarified his message and apologized to Andrews. She is, by all measures of those who work with her, a very nice person, hard working and well intentioned. But this was a moment where it appeared she was out of her area of expertise, so when things unraveled, she was told by the producer in her earpiece to cut off the interview (as was the case here). In the end, compare her Sherman interview to the one ESPN's Ed Werner did moments later. And read into this what you may, but Fox has assigned Pam Oliver to handle the Seattle sidelines for Sunday's Super Bowl, with Andrews on the Broncos' side.
What's planned to be included sometime in Fox's four-hour Super Bowl pregame show (running from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Channel 11): A Joe Buck-narrated tribute to the late Fox play-by-play man Pat Summerall; a feature on Brooklyn-born Vince Lombardi and his ties to playing at Fordham University (which will include an interview with Fordham grad Vin Scully); President Obama submitting to a live interview with Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly from the White House; a Bradshaw taped walk-and-talk discussion with former New York Super Bowl hero Joe Namath, and revisiting that awkward red-carpet entrance of celebs as they are interviewed by Michael Strahan and Charissa Thompson. ESPN's pregame (7 to 11 a.m.) includes a Tom Jackson conversation with former Broncos teammate and current team VP of football operations John Elway and a piece on how Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has maintained his relationship with cancer victim Jake Olson going back to their days at USC. The NFL Network's "NFL GameDay" goes from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. hosted by Rich Eisen with Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk.
Fox will allow those with a computer or tablet (but not a phone) to watch the live video stream of the Super Bowl through the Fox Sports Go app or via FoxSports.com and NFL.com, which actually has both an English and Spanish (Fox Deportes) broadcast available for the first time. However, the NFL will block streaming of the game for those inside the stadium because it says the current technology cannot handle the wifi overload due to bandwidth issues.

So whose state is this?
So whose state is this?
That appears to be the question when discussing college basketball in North Carolina.
I was reminded quite often Saturday that N.C. State owns rights to the state. Certainly not true, but the debates are endless.
The Wolfpack fans behind me started chanting, �This is our state� in unison. It feels like I've heard that before � maybe from North Carolina Tar Heels' faithful?
Duke is ranked higher, has wins over both N.C. State and Carolina, so maybe they are the top dog.
What are the requirements for one university to rule the state? Is it by vote or popularity or what the talking sock money says?
I made my first trip to the RBC Center, oops I mean PNC Arena, to watch the N.C. State Wolfpack host Virginia Tech in an Atlantic Coast Conference clash.
The main reason for the drive through the blistery snow was to do a story on Virginia Tech forward Christian Beyer, a New Bern native.
I think I even saw Vanilla Ice and Steve Urkel crowd surfing.
I've covered basketball games at Duke, North Carolina and now N.C. State. Duke, and Cameron Indoor Stadium, is by far my favorite venue.
N.C. State is second, followed by the Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill.
While the ACC is down a bit this year, with just two teams in the Top 25, there is nothing like the passion of the fans of the North Carolina basketball school.
Combined, Duke, UNC and N.C. State have combined for 11 national championships, 35 Final Four appearances and 102 NCAA Tournament berths.
And the fans can't stand each other.
The venom in the chants, it's not for the faint of heart. It's the best atmosphere in all of college sports (with the exception of Ohio State and Michigan football games).
Being an outside, from a different state, is it wrong for me to enjoy the competition of all the ACC schools in North Carolina?
What makes ACC basketball so great? The fanbases, the traditions and the level of competition are epic.
We are in for a thrilling ACC Tournament next month.
Duke has talent and is fundamentally sound, but it still looks vulnerable. Miles Plumlee is a machine in the paint and Seth Curry is an assassin from 3-point range.
Yet, the Blue Devils (22-2, 9-2 ACC) have flaws.
N.C. State (17-7, 6-5) seems to be the most athletic of the three with C.J. Leslie, Lorenzo Brown, Richard Howell and Rodney Purvis. Tyler Lewis and Scott Wood are long-distance nightmares for opponents.
UNC (17-8, 7-5) snapped a two-game win streak with a 93-81 win over Virginia on Saturday. James Michael McAdoo (14.6 points per game), Reggie Bullock (14.1 points) and P.J. Hairston (12.8 points) are the only Tar Heels scoring in double figures.
�There are still a lot of games left,� N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried said. �For every team in America, including us, you better win your way into everything.
�You can't sit back and hope for everybody else to lose. We would like to get one of the top four spots in the (ACC) tournament, but we have to be the best we can be for the next two or three weeks and keep finding ways to help ourselves.�
There's not much better than living in Carolina (during basketball season).
