Question & Answer with Tom Watson
About Tom Watson
Pebble Beach was the perfect setting for an interview with hall-of-fame golfer Tom Watson. Almost 25 years removed from his U.S. Open triumph over Jack Nicklaus, the 57-year-old looked at home in Northern California.
From the mid ‘70s through the early ‘80s, Watson was the gold standard of golf. Refusing to play second fiddle to Nicklaus, the short game wizard evolved into one of the Golden Bear’s greatest challengers and arguably the best champion the British Open has ever seen.
The Kansas resident rekindled some of his magic by tying for 19th in February at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (first top-20 finish on tour since 2003) along with a second-place finish in the pro-am team competition with son Michael.
With family in tow, it wasn’t all business during Watson’s visit to the Peninsula. The understated Midwesterner took time to reminisce about his days at Stanford, take pictures of his son playing Pebble Beach and discuss his “good timing” that led to one of the most storied careers in the history of the game. -Hilary Howard
You were a psychology major and in a fraternity at Stanford. Did you have a fairly normal college experience despite the golf demands?
We went to college during the Vietnam War and all the turmoil. College at that time wasn’t very smooth with all the issues that were going on — the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War. It was a turbulent time. There were some wonderful times and some trying times in those college years.
What were your expectations when you turned professional?
All I had was a dream. My dream was to play professional golf as a winner. When I first started, I understood that there were a series of steps that I had to take to learn how to win. It took me a while to learn how to do that. One of the things I did a lot of was practice, probably more than just about anybody out here.
Talk about the importance of Byron Nelson to your development.
Byron was a great friend. He was a mentor, father figure if you will in certain respects and a very close personal friend in other respects. The relationship was a two-way street. One of the things he showed me was how to be a person who looks at life as a glass half-full; to understand that life is too short to go through with any animosity. I think that is one of the best lessons I learned from Byron.
How important is Pebble Beach to you?
My dreams really came true right here at Pebble Beach. Any kid who wants to become a professional dreams about playing against the best. Back in those days, I wanted to play against Jack Nicklaus and beat him. And as a student at Stanford, I had the opportunity to come down and play Pebble Beach, probably about a dozen times during my four years. I always played a little game with myself the last four holes here at Pebble Beach. I got to the 15th tee and I’d say, “All right I’ve got to par in to win the U.S. Open against Jack Nicklaus.” In 1982, that happened.
Describe the chip-in on the 17th hole at Pebble Beach.
Well the chip-in was lucky. People watch sports to see moments like that happen. When it went in it took me from a bad position to a good position. I had a chance to win the tournament I wanted to win the most – our national open. I birdied the last hole to win by two, but that gave me the cushion to go to the last hole with the knowledge that if I made par, I’d win.
Was that chip-in really lucky?
Let me put it this way. Any time you chip it from off the green there is an element of luck. It bounced the right way. On the other hand, I hit it exactly the way I wanted to………broke Jack’s heart.
When you play that hole now, do you still think about that chip?
I think about it because other people always talk about it. I was out there with my son during a practice round at the AT&T. He wanted to see where I chipped it in from and take some pictures. I took pictures of him trying the shot. I’m pretty happy being here playing with my son and showing him Pebble Beach and specifically, the places where I hit the ball.
What do you remember most about the weekend of your duel with Jack Nicklaus at the 1977 British Open?
That weekend was a weekend of warmth. It was a hot Scottish sun. There was a bunch of sunburned Scots out there following us around. A lot of dust — the golf course was dry, not very much rough. But it was a challenge. It ended up that what we did was something very special to my career. To have beaten the best when he was playing nearly his best —it was one of things I had dreamt about.
What was it about the British Open that brought out the best in your game?
Editor’s note: Watson won five British Opens from 1975-83.
I think a lot of it had to do with timing. Life is all about timing. I was usually playing pretty well when I played the British Open. I always had the ability to hit the ball the right distance. It’s harder to hit the ball the right distances on links courses. That was one of my strengths. I hit the ball pretty solidly when I was on and I could control the ball that way.
Are you going back to Carnoustie in July to compete in the Open Championship?
I’m not; my daughter is getting married on the July 21. I’m going to walk her down the aisle on that Saturday of the Open Championship weekend. I will be thinking maybe a little bit about it. I won’t tell her that, though.
Which do you think was your better shot, the chip-in or the 7-iron on the 72nd hole at Turnberry?
They both meant winning a championship. I still had some work left to do after both of them. I had to par the 18th at Pebble and I had to make that 2 ½ -foot putt after Jack made the 40-footer to put pressure on me at Turnberry.
Were you aware of Nicklaus’ predicament on the approach shot at Turnberry?
Very much so. I went over and looked at his lie for his approach and he had a terrible lie. He was going to be very fortunate just to get the ball on the green. But as Jack could do, he could pull the great shots out when he needed to. There must have been a ½ – yard of sod that came out with that swing. It was an amazing shot.
Nicklaus finished runner-up in four of your eight majors. Describe your relationship with him.
Jack and I are good friends. We’ve gotten to know each other over the years and have become close friends. It’s always good to be with him and Barbara. Barbara is a wonderful woman and she keeps Jack in line.
How would you compare Jack in his prime versus Tiger?
Well, I think Tiger is probably better than Jack at this point. Jack dominated the game but not to the extent that Tiger has. You have to give the nod to Tiger at this point.
Talk about your former caddie, Bruce Edwards.
Bruce was in the parking lot in St. Louis in 1973 and I was looking for a caddie and he was looking for a job. That’s how we hooked up. He asked me for the job and I said, “All right.” We finished sixth that week and he asked to caddie for me the rest of the year. I said, “Let’s just try it week-by-week and see what happens.” He caddied for me for more than 30 years.
How special was the 2003 U.S. Open with him on the bag?
He contracted ALS in 2002 and caddied for me until the fall of 2003. During that time, I played in the U.S. Open at Olympia Fields in Chicago. I had a magical first round and shot 65 for the first-round lead. It was time to make Bruce’s illness known to the world. It was time for us to ask for help.
How important is your work for ALS?
It’s still very tough to tell people when they contract the disease that there’s no cure and there’s nothing we can do right now to slow down the disease. One of these days we’ll have it – something to slow it down. Maybe a combination of drugs – maybe the human genome project which was just completed in December where they identified 53 gene-dependant deficiencies in ALS patients.
What do you think of the FedEx Cup?
I think it’s wonderful for the pros and hope that it remains the same for the Tour in making the season shorter. One of the things the Tour needs to realize is that the sponsors need the players to play in their tournaments. If you have too many tournaments not all the best players are going to play. Some tournaments are going to have weaker fields. That has always been an issue. I hope that the FedEx Cup and the points’ race will alleviate some of it.
With square drivers and other technological advances, do you think the art of working the ball has been lost?
Well the golf ball doesn’t curve much so the art is lost but you still have to make the ball move. You have to know how to make it move and trust it to move.
Why do you think you were successful as a Ryder Cup captain?
I got lucky. It was just luck. The Ryder Cup captain doesn’t do anything. He just chooses the teams. It’s not the captain who wins the matches; it’s the players on the teams.
Talk about your involvement with the design of Spanish Bay.
Well that was a wonderful start. That was the first golf course I was involved with as a designer with Robert Trent Jones, Jr. and Sandy Tatum. I learned a lot because it was brand new to me, but I always had the desire to draw and to design golf holes ever since I was in the fourth grade.
What advice would you give to amateurs to improve their short game?
Be on your left (front) foot as you hit the ball.
How do you feel about your game now?
After watching the kids hit it on the practice range I feel…what’s the right term, insufficient. These kids hit the ball so far it’s unbelievable. Of course it really does help to hit the ball high and far on these golf courses, especially at Poppy Hills and Spyglass.
You once said, “If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.” Can you explain that?
If you fail and you don’t want to immediately find out why you failed, you’re probably never going to be a success. Failure breeds success in the right type of personalities. They did a survey of the top 500 Fortune 500 CEOs, I think it was 15-20 years ago, and one of most memorable experiences that these CEOs had was that the majority of them were cut from a team. They were told they weren’t good enough. That’s a failure. But they proved that they could be good enough in other ways. Failure is a great instigator for success.
I am very interested in being able to somehow contact Mr Watson through an email address…is that possible?….I have a conceptual product that I would like for him to “look at” and possible evaluate….this concept has the possible potential to create a huge opportunity in the golf world…..at least that is my opinion….

The Judicial Conference was called to order at 2:00 p.m. on June 14, 2007. Roll call was taken.
Judges of Supreme Court
Dale V. Sandstrom
Mary Muehlen Maring
Carol Ronning Kapsner
Daniel J. Crothers
There were 25 members present. Since a quorum was not present, it was determined that the business portion of the conference could not proceed.
Discussion ensued as to how to avoid a lack of a quorum at future Judicial Conferences. There were suggestions that the definition of a quorum be changed in the bylaws to exclude counting surrogate judges or to only include a majority of district court judges or quorum of district judges.
Chair Maring indicated that she would call a meeting of the Executive Committee to discuss the issue and invited all members of the Judicial Conference to submit their suggestions.
Chair Maring then called on Jim Ganje to provide a legislative update.
Following the legislative update, Judge Wefald noted that as chair of the Legislative Committee he had appeared before the legislature and opposed the bill that would have required a PSI before a defendant could be sentenced on a revocation of probation. He said the legislature was receptive to his testimony on this bill and on others. It was noted by Jim Ganje that Representive Shirley Meyer has been appointed as chair of the Judicial Process Committee. Senator Fieberger was appointed as vice-chair.
There being no further discussion, the gathering was ended at 2:45 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Sally Holewa

Delaware Township Volunteer Ambulance Corp (DTVAC) and Pike County Advanced Life Support (PCALS) were both awarded Pocono Medical Center’s STEMI Cup Award for an emergency incident that occurred in January of 2012 in which a patient had a heart attack in the Pocono Mountain Lake Forest Community.
The award was presented by Dr. Peter Favini, Director of Pocono Medical Center’s Emergency Medicine Department and Medical Director for both EMS organizations during a presentation at the Annual Pocono EMS Conference on October 20, 2012.
The ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) award was given to these organizations for its role in the "door to balloon angioplasty" time of 28 minutes. It is the fastest time for Pocono Medical Center in the 2011-2012 reporting year.
Door-to-balloon is a time measurement in emergency cardiac care, specifically in the treatment of a STEMI, "heart attack". The interval starts with the patient’s arrival in the emergency department, and ends when a catheter guide wire crosses the heart blockage in the cardiac catherization lab. The lower the "door-to- balloon" time, the less muscle damage to the heart.
This time was significantly reduced because of the quick recognition of a STEMI on the cardiac monitor by the EMS crews and quick transport time. The hospital’s cardiac catheterization team was notified and activated before the EMS crew left the patient’s home and the catheterization team was waiting for the patient upon ambulance arrival at the emergency room.
Pocono Medical Center (PMC) has worked closely with EMS services in order to improve EMS notification times, subsequently reducing their door to balloon times. PMC hasreceived national recognition for superior patient outcomes and for providing world-class service in cardiac cases.
For more information on DTVAC visit or call (570) 828-2345 and for more information on PCALS visit or call (855) PIKE-ALS.

I understand that develpement work is not free. Please, please don't forget about us PC gamers, we are just as loyal as any console player could ever could imagine to be. We spend real cash on NFS The Run game, also. Also love the game, PLease have some more Friday Gaming nights with us on PC.

The squid undergoes their infant stages of life as a Small Giant Squid. Aged 6 – 24 months old, a Small Giant Squid establishes its diet during these years, and chooses what they eat. They retain their inability to digest kelp.
I have had a life-long fondness for squids, and while I cannot remember the exact year that it started, my parents have said that my first ever catch from Ye Old Fishing Vortex was a Small Giant Squid. Technically, the catch hadn’t been mine; I had yet to acquire language at that time, let alone having the strength to make it. No, it had been my father’s. I used to watch him fish with a kind of newfound wonder that renewed itself energetically every single day, and one day, he had taught me how to grasp the fishing rod. I was much smaller back then, and holding onto the rod on my own was like trying to carry an Autumn Birch Tree. Of course, I wasn’t alone, and my father did everything; I just had an excellent view.
I had never been more ecstatic when we caught something, and even more so when the Small Giant Squid shot out of the water and into my father’s outstretched hand. I remember touching it, and finding the slimy, somewhat rubbery skin strange and exciting. If we had had all the time in the world, I don’t think I would have ever let go. The experience had been new, exciting, enthralling, and it opened up a new level of curiosity in my mind.
My family consists of my parents and my older sister Mary-Ann. We have lived in Maraqua all our lives; although my mother and father painted themselves Maraquan Kau and Moehog, respectively, it seems that Mary-Ann and I were Maraquan from birth (she is a Buzz, and I am a Zafara). My parents knew how to play the Stock Market, and so we were comfortably rich, but never billionaires. Our house is more spacious than the average Neopian’s, and we used to employ a gardener to keep the back garden in good shape twice every week. He was the only person we ever employed, for my parents unanimously agreed to never spoil us by keeping servants.
The biggest treats we ever received from our parents were on our birthday, but even then, they had to be within limits. When Mary-Ann was five, she wanted a Rainbow Fountain Faerie Doll, but she never received it, and had to be content with a Fair Maiden Usuki Doll. She enjoyed playing with it, but I know she never got over that incident; she couldn’t stop crying for the next twenty days, and every night, she would snuggle in my bed, and I had to do my duty as a caring younger sister, and not complain about how wet my fur was the following morning.
I had never asked for anything as expensive as a Rainbow Fountain Faerie Doll – at least, not until I was eight. In previous years, I had requested Quiguki dolls (I always preferred them), and I suppose my parents were expecting me to ask for another. When I told them I wanted a squid farm in our back garden, they looked at me with grave faces that barely hid their surprise, and they had slowly answered me, “Yeeees, of course we’ll build a squid farm for you.” I had already been a very active fisherwoman for five years at the time of my request, and I had grown to familiarise myself with all the types of squids I had ever caught. I never kept any of them; if I fished them up, I would inspect them like a child inspects a new toy, and then throw them back into the vortex.
It took only a fortnight for my parents to change the layout of the garden; before, there had been a lovely rainbow coloured border of kelp around the edges, so as to mark our territory, and in the center of the garden had been an even lovelier cluster of various plants. Everything else had been paved over with stones. My parents had planned to change the layout, so that the top half of the garden would be overrun with the pond; the paving stones were duly removed, and the pond was dug and filled. Anybody looking down from a birds-eye perspective would have been reminded of a Combo Battle Mirror, albeit the pond being a lighter hue than the terrace.
I was jolly excited when I saw the completed pond for the first time – it was like a dream come true for me. I had long dreamt of keeping my own squids, yet I had never used my imagination to invent the facilities until now. I could barely wait to start putting the farm to good use, and with my rod, I returned to the vortex to catch a squid.
I wish I could say that I had caught a squid and took it home with much felicity, but what really happened was that I had caught a Chaosfish. I promptly threw it back in the vortex, and forced myself to be patient. I found myself in those moments where I had caught squids aplenty before I actually needed one; Cubefish, Eyefish, Doomfish, Spectral Shrimp, Golden Mechafish, another Cubefish... those were my next catches, and with each one, I grew steadily impatient until I was at the point of a tantrum. I had never been a particularly patient person, but even I felt that events were just growing ridiculous. I could see my goal, I was so close – and yet so far.
I finally succeeded with my next catch. That relieving moment was even better than the brightest diamond; I was convinced I was holding onto a gold trophy, not a Small Giant Squid; I felt as if I had just beaten a game, and was the best player in the whole of Neopia. Unsurprisingly, I named this Small Giant Squid ‘Gold’, and happily released him into his new home several hours later.
My fascination for these creatures was further broadened – nobody had ever been as interested as I was, and a whole new potential was open to me. I could spend my life researching them, write numerous articles for the Neopian Times, even publish some books – I was certain I would gain fame, and be forever known as the first Neopian to research into squids.
Unfortunately, my next few catches were wasted, and I quickly became prone to the boredom of owning just Gold. There were strong temptations to visit the Shop Wizard, and subsequently purchase more Small Giant Squids. I was growing desperate by the hour; Gold was becoming increasingly lonely, he needed a friend, and I didn’t want to spend Neopoints when I could easily fish them. I had other matters to deal with too; a squid’s diet still remained a great mystery to me, and everything I fed Gold seemed to be turned down. I was worried for his health; if I couldn’t find something, I would have to return him to the Vortex. Even though he had barely been in my possession for a week, I was already fond of him, and saw him as the youngest sibling in the family. Mary-Ann never really agreed with me (she thought I was weird), and while we never mentioned the subject, we both knew what she was thinking.
As we grew older, I found myself more distant from my sister than I had ever been, or imagined. Our views never agreed from the day my squid farm was unveiled, for she was a practical thinker, and I knew she saw no potential in my unusual habit. I, on the other hand, was too engrossed in my own felicity, and with it came a conceited world that only I had ever taken pains to understand. I preferred this world; it was perfect, untainted, and so new, so barely understood, that I could not willingly find the entrance again, or see any nearby exits.
My luck at the vortex increased again, and Gold and Silver were soon joined by Bronze, Nerkmid, Kew, twins Lunar and Cape, and Scorchstone. These names may sound peculiar, but I was only a child, and with my childish disposition, I called them after things that I found pretty. When I caught Lunar, Cape had been clinging onto her in a manner so desperate, so affectionate, that my disposition would not allow me to be cruel and force them apart, and I took them both back with me.
By then, I knew that squids did not eat the same food, and it took much experimenting to figure exactly what their diets were. The problem with variety was the lack of resource, and even with my parents and Mary-Ann (reluctantly) helping me, I soon found myself struggling to keep my supplies at a sufficient level. I had already feared that I would need to spend Neopoints, and now my fears were true. My reluctance to do so was never through selfishness, but the fact that they were so hard to earn; my parents had never distributed pocket money to me or Mary-Ann, and had I been good at playing games, I would have had less of a struggle. My parents had done their part by building the farm; from now on, all responsibility was down to me alone, including food.
Even though everything came cheap, it was still a burden. It was surprising how heavy and soaked a bag stuffed full of Blandfish could become, and I quickly found that swimming and carrying weights was impossible. Since then, I have had to take Mary-Ann with me on every shopping trip, and I always felt it did more damage than good to our relationship.
I never cared, though; my squids were my pride and joy. They always knew when it was feeding time; they would line up against the edge of the pond, and refuse to leave until they had enough. I had caught my squids around the same time, and I assumed they were of similar ages, for they grew at exactly the same rate as each other. Soon, I had a pond full of Large Giant Squids.
Large Giant Squid
This is when the squid matures, and prepares itself for adult life. Aged 24 – 192 months, it also starts to tolerate kelp, although it still avoids the plant.
I wish I could have dedicated all my time to my squids, but I had Neoschool to attend. I never got on with my classmates, not because they had bullied me in some shape or form, but because we had nothing to say. I wanted to talk about squids and the Ye Old Fishing Vortex; my classmates wanted to talk about Yooyuball, and which team was the best (the strongest support was for Maraqua or Darigan Citadel). Our topics of conversation just didn’t match, and so I said nothing. I had little interest in Yooyuball anyway, and until now, I still do.
I had witnessed my squids changing into Large Giant Squids, and it was a fascinating process. Their pale pink skins had grown rosier, then magenta, before turning a shade of red. Their eyes just suddenly turned green one day, and when they first became actual Large Giant Squids, those eyes were a brilliant shade of jade. Their bodies were bulkier, and it amused me to see how some tentacles grew at different speeds than others, and how unbalanced they became as a result.
I also noted a radical change in diet; I caught Nerkmid gently chewing on some kelp. At first, I tried to lure him away with a Cubefish, but then it struck me that he was beginning to tolerate the plant; if he could show emotions, I think he would have been curious, and certainly not sick. I kept a watchful eye over all the squids, and I discovered that they were all attempting to eat kelp, and they were all learning to tolerate the plant they had once been unable to.
I speedily applied my discovery to my family, and their reactions could not have been more opposite one another; my parents were pleased for me, and I could tell it was sincere; their eyes beamed at me in the way that they always did whenever I had done something worthy to be proud of. Mary-Ann stayed silent throughout my discovery, and she had half-heartily said “congratulations” to me. That was the only word she had uttered, but I was too pleased to pay her behaviour any attention.
The next day, she willingly followed me outside to the pond. Here, her demure attitude succeeded in grasping my attention, and I knew what she was thinking when she saw Kew and Cape fighting over a strand of green kelp. I dared not to try and make conversation with her; somehow, I knew she would cause heavy inflictions to both of us. She had a hypothetical grenade in her hand, and it wasn’t going to make us laugh.
“Kelsey,” she said to me suddenly. “Have you ever thought about letting them go?”
I was startled, shocked, and suddenly felt empty; “How could I leave them?” I cried. “They’re my family – just like you!”
“That is sweet of you,” she said with a smile that I did not like. “But you’re growing up, Kelsey. You cannot stay with them forever.” Had I been older when she said this, I would have been more composed, but I was in great agitation, and somehow felt myself being flung closer to the exit of the world that I so dearly wished to remain in.
I felt mute, I could say nothing. Mary-Ann was looking at me gravely and solicitously, and the pain of her words was somehow rebounding off me and into her mind too. “I’m sorry, sister, but I cannot watch you descend into this madness. Our parents should never have encouraged you.”
“D – Don’t talk about them like that,” I wept. “I – I like squids, it’s –”
“Hush, Kelsey, hush.” She embraced me, and I willingly hugged back; our roles had been reversed, I was the one crying, and she had to provide me with comfort.
Giant Giant Squid
Aged 192 – 480 months, the Giant Giant Squid is the squid’s adult life, and its growth considerably slows. A well-nourished Giant Giant Squid will spend over twenty years growing, until it becomes a Titanic Giant Squid. As the Giant Giant Squid ages, it will eventually accept kelp as an alternative source of food and nutrient.
My mind remained stubborn throughout my remaining childhood years, and I could not see myself separated from my beloved squids. My temperament eventually lost all its childishness, although my matured disposition remained comfortably trapped in the squids’ world. My Quigukis were forever doomed to being stowed away in a storage box, which in turn sat in a darkened corner of my room.
My happiness numbed all negative feelings, and I grew immune to pain. I felt that way anyway; when Mary-Ann left home at nineteen, I cried, but not bitterly. I was saddened, but only for the greater part of two hours. My felicity returned instantly when I visited my squids; their skin had undergone a crimson shade for a while before browning, and their eyes now gleamed like emeralds. Disappointingly, their tentacles now grew at an even pace, and I felt robbed of warmly laughing at their struggles to restore their sense of balance as they attempted to swim, in a straight line, to the surface.
There were other squids in there, for I increasingly visited the Ye Old Fishing Vortex to the point where I willingly took unwanted squids from other fishers, and brought them home. Fyora, Psellia, Illusen, Ember, Siyana, Nereid, and Aethia were all Small Giant Squids when I took them home. They seemed to get along well with the others, and when I came to feeding them, their diets barely differed from the older squids, although Nereid preferred Bombfish; I had to unwillingly remove her from the pond, and my numbers dropped to fourteen.
I rarely heard from Mary-Ann throughout my remaining teenage years, or indeed at the start of my early adult years. She only visited three times, and I approached her with the warmth of a sister, and the hostility of someone dear to her. She always watched me care for the squids, but she made no attempt at trying to discourage me from them. I was never bothered; I just wanted to follow happiness, and I could never see myself in a position away from my squids.
I heard about Mary-Ann’s achievements; she was the proprietor and shopkeeper of a large shop, and had adopted a baby Bori and Xweetok from the Pound. I only ever saw them once, about two weeks after they had been adopted. They were sweet little beings, and I was happy for my sister, though I subsequently forgot about them again when I returned to my squids.
My parents never tried to stop me from raising my squids, and I was grateful about that decision; I had already taken Mary-Ann’s advice badly, I doubt I would have been able to cope if my parents had done the same. They seemed to be pleased with what I was doing, and it increased my felicity tenfold; I developed a sanguine temper warmer than the Lost Desert, and my incapability to develop rain clouds over my head made me a better person. I began to tolerate patience much better than I had ever done, and I no longer felt the burden of following in Mary-Ann’s footsteps, and make an independent life for myself.
I had my parents’ support, what more could I ask for? That was how I spent the large majority of my adult years. I only had to see the squids to make a living; my book, How To Care For Squids, was eventually published when I was thirty. It contained my lifelong work on squids, and sales went through the roof; I knew I had achieved fame. I even got a sponsorship deal on one edition of The Neopian Times.
I never knew how Mary-Ann felt about my fame; I sent her a Neomail, but never received a reply. If I had known where she was living, I probably would have visited; if I had known where her shop was, I would have gone there. Even though I have nobody but my parents to talk to, I never felt lonely. My squids are always with me, and I was so far lost in their world that the exit was just a meaningless door frame; in my eyes, it was just a decoration, a pretty thing to see, but to never go through. The entrance was so far away, I couldn’t see it. I had finally lost sight of it decades ago.
Titanic Giant Squid
This is when the squid lives its elderly years. It is unknown how long a Titanic Giant Squid can live for. It also abandons its previous diet in favour of kelp. Titanic Giant Squids usually begin life at 480 months.
As Gold and co. grew into Titanic Giant Squids, they could no longer fit the pond, and I had to let them go. They refused to leave me; I was their parent, the pond was their home, they would stay with me. Until now, they circle around my house like a living ring, and they are so large I can easily swim with them. My felicity had never ceased since the day I entered their world, and I had never been happier than to be with them.
As more and more squids joined the pond, the number of Titanic Giant Squids increased. Soon, our house was surrounded not by the kelp that had been there from day one, but by my squids. We became noticeable in a way that I wanted; even with the publication of three more books, I felt that I needed to be seen with those that I dearly love.
I turn fifty now, but when I look back at the forty-two years that I spent with squids, I don’t regret anything. I may not have seen Mary-Ann for the good part of thirty years, but as long as my squids remain with me, I shall stay firmly in their world.
The End
If you're reading this, this is my first story in the TNT! :D I hope you enjoy it!

Shadow, a Shadow Aisha, rolled his eyes. "Come on, Invader, stop being annoying. We've been there plenty of times! What's wrong with this time?"
"I'll catch a disease or something! That place is disgusting. Do you not remember what the Deserted Fairground looked like last time?" I wrinkled my nose in disgust. "There were bones and rotten apples and spoiled pumpkins everywhere! Plus, it's just plain scary!"
"What are you two arguing about?" Phroto, our owner, asked, dropping her bag of supplies onto the floor. She clapped her hands together. "We have to get going soon if we want to have enough time."
"I'm not going to that place!" I told her, dropping myself onto the living room floor. "It's disgusting and has the most terrifying creatures. I mean, look at the Esophagor! And last time we went there I caught a bad case of the Doldrums."
"Invader, stop your complaining!" Glaedr, a Gold Draik, said. He folded his wings comfortably over his backpack. "We're going and that's that. It was Shadow's turn to pick the place, and he picked the Haunted Woods. We went to Virtupets last time, and I'm sure you remember that no one wanted to go up there but yourself."
"Exactly, Invader, and you're not staying here; you're too young to stay home alone. You won't get sick again, the Doctor said so." Phroto lifted up the bag and shouldered it. "Stronghammer! Galbatorix! Come on, we're leaving now!" she called up the stairs.
Galbatorix, a Royalboy Kyrii, came running down the stairs, his dark purple hair streaming out behind him. "I'm here! Stronghammer was holding me up."
A Camouflage Krawk bumbled down the stairs. "I was not!" Stronghammer said indignantly. "It's not my fault you took so long to answer those questions. How hard is it to answer—"
"You guys, come on!" Shadow interrupted. "We need to leave or it's going to be too late!"
"Shadow's right. Come on, let's go!" Phroto shoved them out the door. "You, too, Invader!" she added after noticing he wasn't with them. "Get out here!"
I sighed and followed them out the door. "I'm going to catch a disease or something there," I grumbled. "I just know it."
***
I stopped when I spotted the eerie gates a few blocks up ahead. The Haunted Woods, I thought, suppressing a shudder. I couldn't show my fear and disgust here. The creatures that inhabit the area would be after me before I could say, 'Fyora'.
"We're here!" Shadow exclaimed with a bounce. He ran off into the Woods, his black cloak billowing out behind him, and shouted, "See you guys at seven!"
Phroto let out a small laugh. "Well, he's off. He'll probably waste all of the ten-thousand neopoints I gave him on Test Your Strength and Coconut Shy." She shook her head with an amused smile. "I'll be in the Game Graveyard if you guys need me. Remember to meet back at this gate at seven exactly."
I watched my owner disappear into the gates after Shadow. "Hmph. Well, who am I going to go with then? I don't want to walk around here myself!"
Stronghammer and Galbatorix exchanged bemused glances. "Sorry, Invader, we're heading off to the Deserted Fairground with Shadow," Stronghammer said with a shrug. "And we know how much you hate that place." He gave a small wave before he and Galbatorix left into the Woods.
I crossed my arms in annoyance. "So they just leave me like that, don't they? Glaedr, what do you want—Glaedr!" I shouted after the gold speck in the sky. "Really?" I kicked the dirt with my foot. How was I going to survive a whole eight hours in the Haunted Woods by myself? I'll just go to the Deserted Fairground with them... I'd rather be there where it's filthy than by myself in this place.
Ignoring the growing fear I felt (it was unreasonable to be afraid; nothing could get me!), I headed toward the entrance. The trees were thinning out into a well-worn path as I followed the trail leading up to the gates. Come on, just get in there and you'll be fine, I told myself. Taking a deep breath, I walked quickly through the gates and then stopped: the Esophagor was straight ahead. I shuddered at the sight of the sickly blue goo. How was it even alive?
"Feeeed mmeeee!" the Esophagor gurgled as I walked past it. "Cooommmee, I aamm huuungrryyy. I wiiilll reeewaaard yooouuu iiff yooouu heeelp."
"N-no thank you," I stuttered, turning away from the monster and running down the rest of the path. When the Esophagor's grumbles were out of earshot, I bent over to catch my breath, letting out a sigh of relief. First monster avoided. I could make it to the Deserted Fairground!
"Who goes there?"
I shot up. Who had said that? I was in the middle of the Woods! The Stone Dome was just a little ways up ahead. It was nothing, Invader, calm down. Probably just someone heading to the battledome!
"Excuse me, little Neopet, answer me."
I jumped up. "Wh-who are you? Where are you?"
I heard a hearty laugh come off from the trees behind me. "I am the Brain Tree, Neopet, of course you know who I am if you would turn around."
I gulped, slowly turning around. Calm down. The Brain Tree is a creature of intelligence, not a monster. He can't even hurt me because he can't walk! Yet I let out a small gasp when I saw the Tree. I had forgotten how big (and brainy!) he was since our last visit to the Woods.
"Yes, see, there you go. What are you doing out here all along, little Neopet? Are you hoping to do a quest for me?" the Brain Tree asked. "I could do with some help with a question."
"N-no, s-sorry, Mr. Tree. I-I'm just on my way to th-the Deserted Fairground." I tried to keep myself from stuttering, but failed miserably. "I'll ju-just be on m-my way now—AHH!" I screamed when a little ghost petpet Warf came from the ground and floated up to the sky. Absolutely disgusting! Ghosts! "Agh!"
The Brain Tree let out a deep laugh at my nervousness. I got the feeling that he was enjoying himself more than he usually does in this forest. "You are a Neopet that is too easily scared to be here alone. Where is your owner? Brothers? Sisters?"
I felt oddly offended at the Brain Tree's words, but he was right: I was too easily scared and disgusted by these Woods to be here alone. Summoning up my courage to speak to the Tree without stuttering, I said, "My owner is at the Game Graveyard, and my siblings ran off to the Deserted Fairground and left me behind because I didn't want to go there at first." I paused. "It's extremely filthy there, and here, don't you know? Ghosts and rotten food... This place isn't fit for me! Yet my owner made me come because it was my brother's turn to pick the place we would go. And then they just left me!" I crossed my arms in annoyance, and then remembered who I was talking to and put them back at my side. Did I really just complain to the Brain Tree? I laughed.
The Brain Tree smiled a woody smile. I realized he had no teeth and tried not to laugh even harder at the sight. "Little Neopet, why not get revenge on them for leaving you?"
I stood there, dumbfounded. Did the Brain Tree just tell me to get revenge on my siblings? I think he did! I started to like this tree more and more with each passing moment. He wasn't evil and disgusting (okay, maybe he was a little nasty-looking) as all the other creatures here. "Get revenge? How?"
"Why, by scaring them, of course. You're in the Haunted Woods, don't you know?" The Brain Tree reached behind his back (did trees have backs?) and stretched a limb out to me, holding a flickering transparent shirt.
"What is that?" I asked, curious. I stepped closer to the tree, losing my fear of it.
"It's a Ghostly Sheet Costume," the Brain Tree said with a laugh. With a swift movement, he threw it over me.
"Ah! Wh-what are you doing?" I shouted, feeling my fear rise again. The sheet covered my eyes, my whole body; I shouldn't have come so close!
"Neopet, be calm," the Brain Tree said, with what I thought was annoyance. "It's just a costume. You can take it off after you complete the quest I am sending you on now."
"What? I never agreed to any quest!" I shouted.
The Brain Tree smiled. "Oh, yes you did, when you wanted to know how to get revenge. I am an old tree, Neopet; I've been around for ages. I need some fun once in a while, and this quest seems more interesting than the other quests I send Neopets to do."
"I—what? Your quest is for me to get revenge on my siblings for leaving me out here?" I was so confused. The Brain Tree—the intelligent Brain Tree—wanted to play a joke on Neopets he didn't even now? I had to admit to myself that this was pretty absurd. If anyone had told that this had happened to them, I would never have believed them!
"Yes, Neopet, now go and scare them. You cannot see yourself, but now you look exactly like a ghost. You look haunted. You still look like a Baby Grundo, yet like a Ghost Baby Grundo. Your siblings will recognize you, but they'll be absolutely terrified and guilt-ridden at the thought of what happened to you." The Brain Tree let out a laugh that shook the trees around him, as if they were laughing with him. "I haven't done this in a while, Neopet, so obey my wish without question, and you shall be rewarded. Be back in one hour and twenty-three minutes. Now be gone!"
I stood there for a moment, wondering if the Brain Tree was really serious. What did this say about the Brain Tree's character? Everything I heard about him before was wrong! Oh, how fun this would be. My siblings wouldn't leave me like that again! I smiled and nodded. "I shall obey."
I stared up at the destroyed circus tent that marked the entrance to the Deserted Fairground. I heard Neopets through the gates—playing Bagatelle, Coconut Shy, the Wheel of Misfortune, everything! I had passed a puddle on my way over here: I looked like a ghost. I was transparent and white and my eyes were sunken in and blue. I'd scare my siblings so badly!
I peeked around the entrance gates to the Fairgrounds, trying to see if I could see anyone I knew—there! Shadow was over at the Test Your Strength, with Stronghammer, Galbatorix, and Glaedr all beside him. Perfect! I thought with a smile. The Brain Tree would surely get a good laugh out of this!
I walked through the entrance quietly, hiding behind the remains of pumpkins and tombstones as I made my way closer to the Test Your Strength booth. The large bell was a few steps away from me, and my siblings were the only Neopets playing. Just what I wanted!
"Congratulations! You earned 22 neopoints! You scored 5 out of 100, Shadow, thank you for playing! Would you like to play again for the twenty-second time?" I heard Arnold, the Test Your Strength owner, ask.
Shadow hissed in annoyance. "Yes! I am going to get higher than a 5!"
I heard Galbatorix snicker and Glaedr and Stronghammer let out a small laugh. They've probably been there a while, I thought. I looked at the timer on the inside of the costume: forty-six minutes left to scare them and get back to the Brain Tree. Plenty of time!
When Shadow grumbled and pulled out 100 more neopoints to give to Arnold, I spotted my moment to come out: as soon as Arnold left to put the neopoints in his jar, I'd get my siblings!
"Thank you, kind sir. I'll be back in just a moment," Arnold said with a small, sly smile, and he left.
I grinned. Now! I bent down and crawled forward, going slowly enough so that I wouldn't rustle the dead leaves that covered the ground.
"I wonder where Invader is," Glaedr mused. "Now that I think about it, I don't think Phroto will be too happy knowing we left him alone. She knows that we knew he didn't want to come."
"Who cares?" Shadow said. "He'll be fine! It's not like anything can happen here."
I laughed, loud enough that my siblings could hear me. They set themselves up perfectly! I heard them all gasp in shock as they turned around and saw him.
"Invader, oh my Fyora!" Stronghammer and Glaedr gasped at the same time.
"What in Neopia happened to you?" Shadow asked, his face pulled into such a sad sight of guilt and fear.
"Whoa, that's cool!" Galbatorix said, but his eyes betrayed his guilt.
They all think that something terrible happened to me, that I turned into a ghost! I laughed. "Well, what do you think happened to me? This place is Haunted! I've become Haunted! I told you something would happen to me if we came here, and what do you know? Something did!" I heard my voice shake in fake-anger, and felt a glow of pleasure inside. Ha ha! They all look so guilty and sad! I thought with glee.
Glaedr had tears in his eyes. "Invader, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have listened to them... I should've stayed with you and maybe you wouldn't be like this!" His voice was shaking with sadness.
Stronghammer and Galbatorix were silent, but Shadow spoke after Glaedr. "I didn't... Invader." He swallowed, and his head was bent over in guilt. "I shouldn't have told them to leave you... It's my entire fault that you're... That you're a ghost!"
Shadow started crying—actually crying, and at that moment I felt like this joke was gone far enough. Any longer and he might run out of here. I had gotten my revenge and done what the Brain Tree had wanted. I could take off the costume now.
"Okay, Shadow, the bell is all set—what the! Is that a Ghost Baby? Those aren't... Those don't..." Arnold tilted his head to the side in confusion, but he wasn't scared. "Ha! How funny. What'd you guys do to him to make him a ghost?"
"Nothing!" Shadow exclaimed with a sob. "He's our brother, and now he's a ghost! It's my fault!"
Okay, enough is enough, I thought. "Shadow, calm down!" I said with a smile. "It is your fault—as much as it is Glaedr's, Stronghammer's, and Galbatorix's." I paused for effect, wanting to pull this off perfectly. I reached up (and my siblings flinched!) and pulled off the costume with a huge grin. "See? I'm not a ghost!"
Shadow stared at me, too shocked for words. "Y-you aren't a ghost?"
Glaedr and Stronghammer had expressions of relief and anger, but Galbatorix was laughing. "Oh my Fyora, Invader, now that's a good joke!" the Royalboy Kyrii said, falling over into a fit of laughter.
Arnold was staring in little amusement, clearly just wanting to make more neopoints. "Hurry up. Play or leave, you're holding up the line!"
Stronghammer raised an eyebrow at Arnold's words, looking around the booth. We were the only ones there. "Clearly."
"I can't believe you would trick us like that!" Shadow exclaimed in anger at me. "You made me feel terrible! What in the world possessed you to do that?"
I was laughing on the ground along with Galbatorix at how the events had played out, thinking about how pleased the Brain Tree would be when I brought the costume back and told him what happened, but paused long enough to reply, "Why, the Brain Tree, of course!"
The End

2012 Women's Soccer Championship Seeding Announcement
HADLEY, Mass. – With the top seed in this
year’s NESCAC Women’s Soccer Championship at stake,
Middlebury closed out the regular season with a dramatic 3-1
triumph at Williams this afternoon. In the process, the Panthers
not only ended the Ephs’ 10-game unbeaten streak but also
secured home field advantage throughout the tournament for the
first time since 2004. They will begin their quest for a third
conference crown this Saturday, when quarterfinal round action gets
underway. Along with Middlebury and Williams at home in the first
round will be Bowdoin and defending champion Amherst. The highest
remaining seed following Saturday’s action will host the
semifinals and final from November 3-4.
Middlebury, Williams and Amherst finished regular season with identical 8-1-1 records. The Panthers were awarded the top seed by virtue of their four points in head-to-head competition between the three teams. Williams came away with the second seed as a result of its 3-2 victory over the Lord Jeffs on September 6.
Middlebury (12-1-1, 8-1-1 NESCAC) will be looking for its first NESCAC title since 2006, when it slipped past Amherst 1-0 in overtime. The Panthers have been dominant on the defensive side of the ball, allowing just five goals all season. They will open up tournament play against eighth seeded Wesleyan (6-7-1, 3-7-0 NESCAC) on Saturday. The Cardinals kept their postseason hopes alive with a 2-0 win at Trinity yesterday. The win ultimately moved them into the tournament after they finished in a three-way tie for seventh place with the Bantams and Connecticut College. Middlebury came out on top 2-1 when the teams met on September 29. Wesleyan’s goal was the first that the Panthers had surrendered all season.
Williams (10-3-1, 8-1-1 NESCAC) will look to rebound from its first loss in over a month when it takes the field on Saturday. The Ephs have piled up a league-best six NESCAC titles, including four straight from 2007-10. They will host seventh seeded Connecticut College (5-7-2, 3-7-0 NESCAC), which handed Middlebury its only loss of the year (1-0) on October 7. The Camels gave Williams all it could handle during their regular season matchup on September 23 before falling 1-0. They will be making their first postseason appearance since 2007 and fourth overall.
After earning the top seed a year ago, Amherst (12-1-1, 8-1-1 NESCAC) enters this year’s championship as the third seed. The Lord Jeffs will begin their title defense against Colby (8-6-0, 4-6-0 NESCAC). The Mules rebounded from three straight conference losses and locked up the sixth seed with a 2-0 win over Bates today. The Mules advanced to the semifinals in both 2005 and 2006. They fell 4-0 at Amherst on October 13. In addition to their championship last fall, the Lord Jeffs also came out on top in 2001 and 2003.
The remaining quarterfinal round matchup pits fourth seeded Bowdoin (10-3-1, 6-3-1 NESCAC) and fifth seeded Hamilton (9-4-1, 5-4-1 NESCAC). Bowdoin clinched home field advantage with a 2-1 triumph over Trinity on Saturday. Heading into the final week of the regular season, Hamilton had the opportunity to pass the Polar Bears in the standings but came up short against an upset-minded Tufts squad on Saturday. Bowdoin closed out its regular season with a 1-1 draw at Tufts yesterday, putting an end to the Jumbos’ postseason hopes. The Polar Bears edged the Continentals 1-0 on October 13. They will be hosting for the first time since 2007.
Results for the NESCAC Women’s Soccer Championship will be available at the completion of each day on the NESCAC website.

How long is chickenpox infectious for?
Other Qs & As
Question
I will be looking after my three-year-old niece on Saturday who is just recovering from chickenpox.
I am concerned whether it is safe to do so as I have a five-year-old daughter who hasn't caught the disease yet and we will be going on holiday in a couple of weeks and would hate for her to catch it beforehand.
My niece's spots first appeared this week. She has been constantly scratching them and she was taken into hospital due to her temperature getting so high that it brought on convulsions.
Her temperature was brought down and she was sent home and told to keep away from nursery for the week.
She has apparently been back to nursery yesterday and has three spots left which are black and scabby. What do I do?
Is she 100 per cent not contagious or should I refrain from looking after her.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Answer
I think you can be 100 per cent confident that your daughter will not catch chicken pox from your niece if you look after her this weekend.
Once the blisters of the chickenpox rash have dried out and crusted over, there should be no risk of the infection being passed on to someone else.
The infectious stage of chickenpox usually lasts between five to ten days, and as you say that your niece's spots first appeared on this week, she will be well past the infectious phase by this coming weekend.
I can well understand why you don't want your daughter to get chickenpox before, or during, your holiday but in general it is a much less unpleasant illness for children than for adults so I'd try and make sure she does get it sometime in the next few years.
You'd be doing her a favour, I promise!
Yours sincerely

Weighing Benefits and Pitfalls of Increased Oil and Gas Production in the U.S..
JEFFREY BROWN: And we turn to the ups and downs of an energy boom, wrapping up our series that's looked at how new production is fueling rapid changes across the country.
In our series this week, we have seen how homegrown energy output is forging ahead, offering opportunities and posing problems at the same time. In North Dakota, new technology has led to a boom in oil production.
LANCE LANGFORD, Statoil: We are going to be here for many, many years. And once we are finished drilling these wells, these wells will produce for 30 to 40 years.
JEFFREY BROWN: Drilling means jobs in towns like Williston, but it also leaves the locals to deal with growing pains.
WOMAN: We are frustrated with lack of services. We are frustrated with traffic. We are frustrated with driving. We are not alone. And I don't care whether you have been here a long or a short time.
JEFFREY BROWN: In Colorado, one source of tension is between competing fossil fuels, as natural gas vies with the state's plentiful coal supply as a cleaner-burning option for power plants. The gas boom may also slow any shift to renewable energy, such as wind or solar power.
DAN ARVIZU, National Renewable Energy Laboratory: The bar just got a bit higher for the entrance of some of these new and alternative technologies into the energy mix.
JEFFREY BROWN: Sprouting gas wells pose a challenge over the use of public lands as well.
In Utah, environmentalists and energy firms have collaborated on ways to allow for drilling while protecting natural areas.
U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar welcomes the effort.
INTERIOR SECRETARY KEN SALAZAR: It is my view that protecting the environment and developing oil and gas are not mutually exclusive. Those who say they are, are providing us a false choice.
JEFFREY BROWN: That may be, but as new technology allows for ever more extraction of fuels, the right balance and best approaches are far from settled.
And we pick up on some of the questions raised by the energy boom now with Kate Sinding, deputy director with the National Resources Defense Council. Her work includes promoting smart growth and monitoring environmental and health impacts of natural gas drilling in New York State.
And Robert Bryce, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute who's written widely on energy matters, including his recent book, "Power Hungry: The Myth of Green Energy."
Kate Sinding, I will start with you. A boom in new production, overturning a lot of old assumptions about energy in this country. Give us an overview first. What do you see happening?
KATE SINDING, National Resources Defense Council: Well, what we see happening is that the way that natural gas is being developed in this country is totally unacceptable.
You have got an industry that's running roughshod over communities. They think that they're entitled to operate under a different set of rules than those that apply to everybody else. And the result is a pattern of negative impacts to water, to air, to health, and to our communities.
It's not something that should be happening in America in 2012. And, moreover, it's not a model of development that's sustainable either from an economic standpoint or for the planet.
JEFFREY BROWN: All right, Robert Bryce, same question. General overview first, and then we will walk through some of these issues.
ROBERT BRYCE, The Manhattan Institute: Sure.
Well, I watched your reports earlier this week, and I agree with what Interior Secretary Salazar said in one of your reports. He said that the development of natural gas is one of the greatest opportunities for economic security, national security, and environmental security.
This is -- the development of the shale revolution, which we're in the midst of now, is the single most important energy development on the global energy scene since the discovery of the east Texas field in the 1930s. For the U.S., this is unqualified good news.
Now, are there local impacts and are there fence line issues for neighbors and are there concerns? Of course, there are. And those won't go away, because we're seeing a lot of drilling in areas that haven't had it before.
JEFFREY BROWN: Well, so, Kate Sinding, let's go to a very specific issue, of course, at the heart of the new technology that allows a lot of this new production is fracking.
So, Kate Sinding, talk to us a little bit about that. The obvious plus is, you get more, but at what cost is the issue.
KATE SINDING: Right. Yes.
Fracking -- it's been the development of fracking combined in the case of many of these resources with horizontal drilling that allows for them to develop resources where they previously hadn't thought that they economically could do so.
And what those two technologies involved mean together is significant amounts of water usage, significant generation of waste waters, generation of air pollution, lots of traditional pollution.
The significant amounts of water involved in fracking translate into hundreds of truck -- truck trips for every well pad. Those, in turn, turn into not only air quality impacts, but impacts to quality of life, the kinds of things that we saw in a clip from one of the segments earlier this week.
We're grappling with some really serious issues now, issues that the industry itself is acknowledging present real problems, wastewater being a key example.
The water that -- wastewater that is generated through the extraction of gas using the fracking process is heavily contaminated, both with chemicals that are used as part of the fracking process itself, as well as with naturally occurring contaminants that include heavy metals, volatile -- volatile organic compounds, very high levels of salt, and in some instances radioactivity.
And millions of gallons of that wastewater are generated per well pad. So, what to do with that wastewater, how to safely dispose of it in a way that doesn't present risks to the communities not only where drilling is occurring, but where the wastewater ends up being transported, is a very vexing issue. And it highlights...
JEFFREY BROWN: Let me...
KATE SINDING: Go ahead.
JEFFREY BROWN: Well, I just wanted to -- I just wanted to bring Robert Bryce in on this, because I'm wondering, is it a question of acknowledging all the kinds of questions that we just heard and the concerns, but, in the balance, that's OK? Or is -- or do you question some of the science behind fracking and other technology?
ROBERT BRYCE: Well, look, this is a technology that is not new. It's been used over a million times over the last six decades.
The points that Ms. Sinding makes, I agree with some of them. But there are three interrelated points if we look at this in the big picture in terms of public relations. One is that we're talking about water, which is an emotional issue for everyone. They don't -- no one wants contaminated water.
Second, the oil and gas industry has a lower favorability rating than Congress. This is according to a recent Gallup poll. So beating up on the oil and gas industry for the environmental groups is extremely easy. And, finally, the environmental groups have a very simple message, which is, basically, big oil wants to pollute your water.
And so the drilling industry's only response is, well, no, we don't. But when you look at the overall balance -- and I'm not dismissing the fence line issues that are involved here, the truck traffic, et cetera, but this is an incredible benefit to the U.S. economy.
If you look at the period from -- in the 19 -- in the -- from 2003 through 2008, natural gas prices averaged over $7. Today, they're under $3. That results in a savings to the U.S. economy of $263 million a day. That's $96 billion a year. This is incredibly good news for the U.S. economy at a critical time for -- when a lot of people are out of work.
JEFFREY BROWN: Well, so this goes to that balance question.
And, Kate Sinding, we heard -- in our setup, we heard Ken Salazar say that it's a false choice to pick between protecting the environment and developing more oil and gas.
KATE SINDING: Well, I would say it's a false choice between protecting the environment and economic development and energy security.
Where we need to be investing, where we need to be creating new policies and new laws is in the area of facilitating the rapid development of energy efficiency and renewables. Obviously, we're in favor of economic development for this country and economic security, and energy security.
But we need to be focusing not on yet another fossil fuel, one that, although it may be cleaner-burning than coal or oil, will not help us solve the climate crisis.
In fact, numerous recent studies show that if we end up with decades of dependence on gas, rather than investments in renewables and energy efficiency, we're going to be further set back in our effort to deal with the climate crisis.
So that's where we need to be focusing our policies and our investments. And energy efficiency, renewables, those are good, clean jobs, sustainable jobs, and the kind of economic development that the country should be looking for.
JEFFREY BROWN: And it sounds like you are fearing what we heard in one of the reports, that the boom as is now undermines those kinds of investments.
Robert Bryce, what about that? Is that -- is that a possibility here, or is that actually happening?
ROBERT BRYCE: Well, look, no one's opposed to energy efficiency. That's a -- there's been bipartisan agreement on it, on increases in energy efficiency for decades.
And our economy has grown to be one of the most energy-efficient economies in the world. We have made great strides there. Renewables, I'm all for renewables. I have solar panels on the roof of my house. They simply cannot provide the vast scale of energy that is demanded here in the United States or around the world.
Natural gas continues to be vilified as a fossil fuel. Look at what the International Energy Agency said in May. This is the IEA, based in Paris.
They said that, since 2006, the U.S. has reduced its CO2 emissions by 430 million tons. It's more than any other country on the planet.
And this is not a perfect solution in terms of reducing CO2, but why did the IEA point out -- point to the U.S.? Because low-cost natural gas is displacing coal. This is a great story.
Are there costs? Of course there are. There's no such thing as a free lunch when it comes to energy or anything else.
JEFFREY BROWN: Kate Sinding, just in our last minute, do you want to answer him, respond to that?
KATE SINDING: Yes, sure.
I mean, I saw a study just a couple of days ago earlier this week that suggests that the decrease in CO2 emissions in this country are not so much a function of gas displacing coal, as it is a function of the economic downturn. And there's no question that these new shale plates are diverting investments from renewables and efficiency improvements, which we -- there is still enormous untapped potential there.
So that's -- again, that's where we have got to be focused. Nobody is saying we can turn the lights off tomorrow. Nobody is denying that this is a country with enormous energy needs. But we have got to refocus our policies now to getting renewables up to scale as quickly as we possibly can, and not get lost in a hole that natural gas threatens.
JEFFREY BROWN: OK, and a brief last word from you, Mr. Bryce. How do you want to end this discussion?
ROBERT BRYCE: Sure.
Well, I will just point to a recent study by IHS, which said that the shale revolution, shale development, unconventional natural gas, will support 1.5 million jobs in the U.S. by 2015. These are jobs that are desperately needed. Do we need to protect the environment? Of course, but the natural gas revolution, the tight oil revolution, unqualified good news for the U.S. economy.
JEFFREY BROWN: Robert Bryce, Kate Sinding, thank you both very much.
ROBERT BRYCE: Thank you.
KATE SINDING: Thank you.

Our Catholic identity calls us to respond to migrants with respect, compassion, and dignity. Pope Benedict proclaims we must “help [immigrants] flourish in their new home.” Scripture reiterates the need for open arms, as the Old Testament called repeatedly for us to love migrants. In the New Testament, Christ’s identification with newcomers and people on the margin emphasizes our duty to embrace everyone, regardless of national orientation. Ultimately, as expressed in Pope Benedict XVI’s latest encyclical, Caritas in Veritate, “every migrant is a human person who, as such, possesses fundamental, inalienable rights that must be respected by everyone and in every circumstance.” (Section 62)

I ran a short (three-session) track at 4G World in Chicago this week, continuing the theme of the Mobile Connect event we did in Boston in June. The concept behind Mobile Connect is how wireless and mobile benefit the enterprise, moving, if you will, up the protocol stack. If Interop is at its core all about Layers 1-3, then Mobile Connect is all about Layer-7. I'm not sure there will be another Mobile Connect in the coming year, but I will regardless be moving the Interop Wireless and Mobility program a bit up the stack as well. As I wrote earlier, we are reaching a degree of sufficiency (no, not abundance; we're a ways out from that, but there's progress nonetheless) in the availability of the technologies, products, and services of wireless and mobile that enables enterprises and other organizations to proceed ahead with large-scale mobile deployments, reaping the benefits without fear of unmanageable uncertainty and early obsolescence.
So, then, even given the geopolitical and economic uncertainties and challenges that now seem to be structural in nature, I see a boom ahead in enterprises taking advantage of wireless and mobile. And, as I've also written earlier, I think the cloud is essential to the future success of mobility, as it's simply infeasible to carry one's entire IT arsenal everywhere - this attempt being characteristic of the PC/applications-centric era of IT that mobility is rapidly bring to a close. It begins with cloud-based storage and information-sharing, proceeds with cloud-based apps, and eventually I see all but the largest organizations and governments moving essentially all of their IT capabilities into the cloud.
And who will the leading cloud services providers be? IMHO, I think the wireless carriers are best positioned to grab market share here. They are essential players in mobility today. They already sell to the enterprise. They have the operational support systems in place to enable a move into the IT services market. Sure, they are hardly experts here today - but consider that IBM completely transformed itself, over many years, granted, from a mainframe computer company and the originator of the PC into today's leading IT services provider. Dell and HP added IT services via acquisitions - and are now in trouble thanks to their legacy hardware businesses, making them takeover/breakup candidates that might prove interesting to emeging players. IBM really knew what they were doing, didn't they, even though such a direction seemed strange and perhaps even ill-advised at the time.
Anyway, as we head into the next era of IT, dominated by information-centric strategies rather than cool new wireless technologies and/or hot new smartphones and tablets, services will be king. The benefits for organizations of all forms could be enormous. The ball got rolling when wireless and mobile enabled us to begin to realize the vision of anytime, anywhere - the last good differentiator no matter what business you're in - and that ball is accelerating. And I think the carriers, again, vital players in the food chain of mobility, have a real shot at reaping the rewards of this new era if they have the vision to capitalize on it. The question is, of course: do they?

I'm not going to do a protracted post because I'm typing on a touchscreen which isn't the most efficient way to write large volume posts. For those who think I go on too long, you can thank Steve Jobs and my disinterest in getting out my laptop for the brevity. For those who enjoy the longer posts, they'll resume soon enough. As I did last time around, I won't go through the entire set of options but I'll give you some sense of how I'm thinking about my decisions. Here's the breakdown:
1) My sense of strategy in a short tournament is that you need to do well in the group stages because there are only so many options to separate yourself from the rest once the knockout stages start.
2) The fact that there were so many draws means that lots of teams will be forced to play their best players on Match Day 2 & 3.
Those two factors are leading me to think that the time to play your wild card is now. The reasons to save it would be if you're mostly happy with your current team and can save it one more Match Day. After the group stages it will be less valuable since you have more free transfers available.
So, where do you go from here? If you're spending only a single free transfer then I'd go with the best Spanish player you can find for the match-up with Ireland. I'm going with Cesc Fabregas and Jordi Alba but Xavi, Iniesta, and Silva could also make sense.
If you're full up on Spanish players then I'd be looking at Russians (Arshavin and Dzageov) and Italians (Buffon and Pirlo) based on match-ups over the next two matches. I'd recommend an Italian forward as well but I'd have a hard time figuring out who will start between Di Natale and Balotelli. I'd start Di Natale in a second if he were a confirmed starter.
Outside of those options, I like the Ukrainian wingers against France's Poor outside fullbacks. I also wouldn't object to keeping anyone from Group A not playing Russia and the strong players from any team in Group D (Benzema, Ibra, Kallstrom, Ashley Young, and sadly John Terry).
If you're wondering, I'm staying away from the highest priced forwards and anyone in the Holland/Germany match. I'm not sure how much to buy in to the Danes even after te beat Holland and beat Portugal for first in their qualifying group. The Danes certainly won't score a ton and you definitely don't want them against even a second string Germany so I'd not invest heavily even if you're buying the story.
So, as you can probably tell, I've decided to use my wild card. I hope that helps you decide on yours and prioritize your transfers even if you save the wild card.
Good luck with your picks and we'll see you back for The Barn Door Live tomorrow.

AMESBURY — The Amesbury Council on Aging along with Amesbury Elementary School and Cashman Elementary School have partnered together. The new program will bring handmade placemats from the students to the home-bound seniors in our community.
The Amesbury COA is a meal site for the Merrimack Valley Nutrition Plan that is funded in part through Elder Services of the Merrimack Valley. Each person who receives the Meals on Wheels will be the recipient of a handmade placemat two times a month. Themes will surround the holidays, lesson plans and the academics the children are working on in the classroom.
The seniors will receive these placemats to use or display as they choose. The Amesbury Public Schools are supportive of the Council on Aging and are pleased to be partnering with the Council on Aging to bring this program.

116 Days to Go: $1 Remake
So the photo that I had pulled from this dress that I’ve had hanging on my rack for months ended up not being correct. Of course – I saw ruffles and a floral pattern and thought I had it when in fact I never shot the piece! Party foul, Maris!
To give you a complete idea of what this piece looked like before, I found two PERFECT dresses that would most definitely work for a ‘If They Mated’ segment a la Conan O’Brien. (Here’s a vintage clip…)
The dress basically looked like this except it was knee length and cotton. There was sheer lace in a V shape, cascading ruffles with lace trim, and more ruffles at the bottom of the piece with lace trim. Pretty much this in a nutshell…
…with a floral pattern like below.
Basically a shortened version of #1 with the pattern of #2. Got it? Feel prepared? Let’s finish it

Schumacher was the better driver that season, just that action made his title controversial. Respect to schumi anyway. He was by far the titan of his time. But I still liked Hill, Villeneuve & Hakkinen better .
Nice reason not to like someone
No luck... I guess it's just time to show what he's got without the luck He's been lucky for a long time. (And having a girlfriend like that is also luck )
He was lucky last season
Glock kept going on his old tyres, while all the other drivers went in for new ones. Once you keep going too long in those conditions the tyres wear off really fast. Glock also lost his place to Vettel just moments before..
Nah, knowing Ferrari they would definitely have protested after the race if they felt the same.
How could i miss the Formula 1 thread?!I really like it.This year is being a bit different, Barrichello is one the fastest, that' rare.

you mean OUR grandchildren
This is simply a revenge mission by the US on Libya. This will teach them a lesson for attacking Doc Emmett Brown in Back to the Future....... Damn Libyans
I think she means yours and my grandchildren
well if we're both in at the same time, would that create a super sexy Dr. Canadian Bacon?
Say no more....
Ever notice how threads around here don't stay on topic for long?
Johan is not nuts. At least not anymore nuts than the rest of us. He is ruled by his own psychology, which includes jealousy that he cannot sing that high.
Ever notice how sexy Better and Dr. Jack are, damn those 2 are mighty fine, even better when they're together in me
I can only agree!
It's like she read our mind is there anything else on our minds?
I'll say paranoia, speculations, accusations If Crazy Child is who she says she is, a check from Admin/Mod of her IP address and account will show that she posts from her PC in the States and that she has a static not dynamic account, the way it'll show I'm posting from my laptop in Sofia and also have a static account.If that's not the case, you can bet both your balls it's not me but either a native English speaker or a non-native speaker with much better command of English than me and penchant for Google who's fucking with me or just someone from the La Familia Era.I have absolutely no interest to have an account like Crazy Child's. Besides if I have to say sth to someone I'll say it straight using my own account instead of addressing/insulting people in the stupid, redneck way she's doing it so personally I have absolutely nothing against the above check.
Say no more....
*coughpmmecough*
I can only speculate, I just got paranoid when 'it' referenced you with Muse.
Okay.Who is Crazy Child's first account?
What are you people talking about? I am one person, a female, not an "it" BTY. I referred to Euterpe as "the muse of music" in a friendly way! Whan I said " muse of music" I was referring to her username, Euterpe. Euterpe was one of the seven muses in Greek mythology. Euterpe was the muse of music, I thought it was a clever name, since we are on a site dedicated mostly to music, THAT IS ALL. I have no idea about any of this other business of which you speak! I'm still new here, how would I know? Futhermore, the comments posted above were very prejudicial(American, redneck, La Familia, etc), unfounded, and just plain nasty. Last I checked, this was not the flamers section. I joined this site to have friendly chats with people about music. If this is how you people are going to be, I am going to close my account. I thought that people overseas had a bit more couth than Americans, which appealed to me. Apparently not.And, everyone is off topic. I know because I posted the question.

Stratford’s explosive regeneration - second only to Canary Wharf - is not built around the development of the Olympic Park alone...it’s been planned for years.
Addressing a debate of movers and shakers in the property market, Clive Dutton, Newham Council’s Executive Director for Regeneration and Inward Investment, explained: “The property opportunities in Newham haven’t materialised simply because of the Olympics; the area has had long term sustainable growth plans for years now and the Games have simply helped speed these plans up. There is real potential for businesses with foresight to jump at these opportunities now.”
He boasted of the boroughs accepted “fantastic” transport infrastructure in place, with 11 railway lines and City Airport close by.
“With Westfield shopping centre, unique open spaces, leisure and entertainment services, Stratford offers the whole package and reflects the growing trend of an all-round offer, which is now being seen across the globe in places like San Francisco.” Newham, he said, is raising the bar on London’s versatile office portfolio.
The round table discussions involved Olympic legacy stakeholders, developers and commercial property agents and centred on why companies should be looking east for their office solutions.
Millions of square feet of state-of-the-art office space is being built around the Olympic site in legacy developments designed to offer companies an alternative home to London’s established business hubs.
With £1.6 billion of private investment made in Stratford over the last two years, and an extra £12.5 billion from the Government, the group discussed what the newly regenerated Newham could look like in five years’s time, and how much of the excitement was simply Olympic fever.
The panel heard about investment in retail, housing and commercial property from Westfield Stratford City, Landprop, part of the Ikea group and Lend Lease and London & Continental Railways.
With the development of a new campus for University College London to be built on the Olympic Park, it seems those investing in the area see it as a long term option - one that will far outlive the prestigious event which initially brought the area into the spotlight.
Richard Smith, Managing Director of Search Office Space said: “From our perspective, it’s great to have a brand new part of London to speak to businesses about as an office location they may never have considered before.
The comedian Eddie Izzard has hit out at London Mayor Boris Johnson whilst maintaining he is ready for the challenge of pursuing politics himself.

NEWPORT-You have to wonder how much more productive this offensive machine for the North Country Falcons can be. The 2-0 Falcons ran for 365 yards on the ground and pounded visiting U-32 on both sides of the ball, ransacking their East Montpelier opponents 73-6.
Jason Hatin was the big man in the offense scoring four touchdowns on the ground from 2, 3, 5 and 37 yards out. He added an 84 yard kickoff return for good measure as NCU dominated. Quarterback Tre Sanville scored twice and threw a touchdown pass as well.
U-32 began the contest with good yardage on the counter play. On their second snap a big collision on the Raider ball carrier shook the pigskin loose. Jason Webster out fought everyone for the ball and the Falcons were in business at the U-32 33 yard line. NCU wasted little time as Hatin blasted in from the five yard line behind a big surge from center Ben Bonneau and Bubba Collins.
After an exchange of punts senior signal caller Tre Sanville rumbled in from the four to complete the Falcon’s second scoring series.. His run,two plays previously for a first down on a 12 yard carry, set things up nicely. The drive was highlighted by a 28 pickup from LeClair and a bruising 14 yard rumble from fullback Adam Pothier. LeClair picked up 12 on another carry but ran a good fifty yards on the play as he changed direction three times to end up with a very positive gain.
The Falcons defense was up to task as Adam Fortin, Collins, and Webster took turns delivering telling blows to Raider ballcarriers. That got the ball quickly back to the offense and they knew what to do with the pigskin.
Two minutes later the explosive Nick LeClair turned the right hand corner and cruised into the end zone from 23 yards out. For the first time in three attempts, the Falcons connected on the two point conversion as Adam Pothier, the Falcons version of the rambling wreck from Georgia Tech, slammed in from the three.
After a 20-0 first period, NC did not let up. They produced 24 second quarter points. Tre Sanville banged in from the three before Hatin added another score three minutes later. LeClair and Pothier completed the two point additions respectively. Sanville then got into the aerial assault as he rolled out to his right and lofted a soft pass into the end zone where Jacob Buckles hauled it in from 21 yards out. Pothier crashed into pay dirt for the two conversion and NCU led 44-0 at the halftime horn.
The third period saw the home team keep producing huge gains offensively. Hatin broke one wide open from 37 yards out. Pothier added the running conversion before Hatin stomped in from the two for another touchdown.
U-32 responded with MacIsaac running in from 13 yards.
The following kickoff was picked up by Hatin on the 15, he veered left and raced to the endzone from 85 yards out.
Head Coach Bob Davis totally cleared his bench. Sophmore Ty Sanville ran in a five yarder followed by Buffi’s extra point kick. NCU closed out the incredible 73 point night with a safety as the ball was fumbled out of the end zone.
The Falcons racked up 14 first downs to U-32’s 7. They forced U-32 to fumble five times and averaged 8.4 yards from scrimmage themselves with their running game churning out 365 yards.
Head Coach Bob Davis had this to say after the game, “We really improved in terms of running our option offense, that was great to see. We had five kids with over 40 yards rushing. We also made adjustments to our passing game even though we did not throw much. the kids worked hard and were happy to show off their new uniforms, which they designed themselves. Our kids are big and they’re athletic, and that’s a great combination to have.”
North Country indeed broke out the new threads Friday night as they played their first home game of the year. In case you missed the fresh Falcon designed uni’s, NCUHS returns to action next Friday as they host a very strong Fair Haven Slater team. Kickoff for the home coming weekend at 7 pm.

HYDE Park will be turned into a giant playground, Jessica Mauboy will sing on a floating stage, and the new Wiggles will perform their debut Sydney show for free - Australia Day is set to be a cracker.
Sydney will be the focus for the national Australia Day celebrations, with the official program of events revealed this morning.
Hyde Park will be transformed into a Summer Playground, complete with activities for children, a concert by The Wiggles and a "rejuvenation zone" for parents.
The CARnival motor show will see more than 600 vehicles take over Macquarie St, while boaters are encouraged to dress up their decks for the Best Dressed Vessels awards at Athol Bay and Blues Point Reserve.
There's the annual Ferrython race to be the first to cross under the Harbour Bridge, the Great Australian Swim from Farm Cove, a fireworks extravaganza at Darling Harbour, and to continue the water theme, Mauboy's set will see her sing at two locations along the harbour.
The Rocks will also host the Festival of the Voice, with free outdoor performances of roots, soul, pop, cabaret, jazz and rock music, headed up by Ash Grunwald and Gurrumul.
Celebrities have shared their messages of thanks in the Thank You Australia campaign.
Australia Day ambassador Kate Ritchie - who took the opportunity to say thanks for "letting me chose who I want to be" - said the video will keep the gratitude going long after January 26.
"On Australia Day we always think about these things but it's nice to be thinking about it all year round," she said.
"There's lots of comical thank yous. People have taken a lighthearted approach and then the more heartfelt ones."

FRESH fighting has erupted in northern Mali between ethnic Tuaregs and an unidentified armed group, the latest violence in the wake of a French-led campaign that drove radical Islamists from major cities.
Tuaregs of the Azawad National Liberation Movement (MNLA) were fighting on Saturday what one source said "seemed to be Arab fighters" near the northern town of Tessalit, where suicide car bombers killed three people a day earlier.
The to flush out Islamists from northern Mali.
region between Tessalit and Kidal is strategically important, seen as a stronghold for many Tuaregs and used by Islamists as a hideout from French forces., without elaborating..
French-led forces met little resistance during the initial offensive that drove the Islamists from the main northern centres of Gao, Kidal and Timbuktu.
Now, however, they are facing a guerrilla campaign that includes sudden raids, suicide attacks and land mines.
On Friday, Chad, which also has troops Mali, suffered its heaviest losses so far after clashes with Islamists in the mountainous northern Ifoghas region.
The Chadian army said the fighting claimed the lives of 13 Chadian soldiers and 65 Islamists.

Color trends change every three to four years. The American market is saturated with the color trend of that moment in time as manufacturers produce it in textiles, paint, clothing, automobiles, china, napkins, and the list goes on. But what do you do if you do not like the current trends? Don’t use them! Select your own personal palate that suits your needs.
Color trends, self confident, and bold for our country's emotional state, thus brown became the trend. The color brown is associated with sadness and wistfulness but on the other side of the equation is also deemed as solid and reliable, the color of. When asked, most people associate gray with a rainy day, hibernation, lack of confidence. While true that the proper gray color can have a pleasant and relaxing affect because it is a neutral color, gray reflected the economic status of the U.S. as homes were foreclosing and the “prosperity” of yesterday was lost.
This brings us up to date, the current trend is white with reclaimed and repurposed furniture pieces and the “less is more” approach to design. Again, the current color trend expresses our current economic status. Gone are the lavish interiors and large furniture and layers of accessories which signify wealth and a show of money. The non-color white signifies simplicity and efficiency with an open clean non-cluttered look. However, if you feel that white is hygienic and sterile, the color of a sanitarium and that you have better things to do with your time than to keep it clean, here are some alternatives that might work for you.
Alternative: Neutrals

Both education referendums passing a sign of improving economy?
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- Both the La Crosse School and Western Tech referendums on the ballot passed.
So with voters deciding to increase their property taxes, is this a sign of an improving economy?
Taxes were one of the bigger issues in this election season. While asking people to voluntarily increase their taxes doesn't always work, it gets a little bit easier as the economy picks up and if the money is going towards something voters see is beneficial.
Both education referendums were worth nearly $100 million.
And for some of voters, it was an easy “yes” vote to both.
“We need to look to the future and have a place for our kids and even for people who are at technical college who are going back to school,” said Tracy Deml of La Crosse.
But for some, the cost was just too high.
“I was voting against the ‘mega school’ concept in favor of preserving the neighborhood schools,” said Ann Peterson.
Both referendums passed. In fact, the La Crosse Referendum passed by a two-to-one margin.
UW-La Crosse assistant professor of economics, Adam Hoffer, said the support for the two referendums could be an indication the economy is turning around.
“I think that's one of the reasons people are willing to invest again because that's what these both referenda really are, is an investment in infrastructure [and] in the community in the area, and hoping to make La Crosse more economically competitive in the future,” said Hoffer.
Hoffer said voting on these two referendums a few years ago could have had very different outcomes.
“The debt ceiling debate, I think, was much hotter a few years ago,” said Hoffer. “So this would have been asking us to take on more debt, when we were torn at a national level about whether we could afford to take on more debt, so a few years ago, I'm not so sure.”
While La Crosse residents will soon see a property tax increase of nearly $65 a year per $100,000 valuation of a home, Hoffer said it’s no surprise La Crosse voters chose to invest in schools.
“Health care and education, it’s all we have in this town,” said Hoffer. “So if we look at what the people of La Crosse are interested in, it wasn't surprising to me that we would not only want to invest more in our technical schools, but also in our elementary schools as well.”
Hoffer said there's still a long way to go before the economy is fully back on its feet -- with things like improving the housing market as well as fixing the national debt problem, but both referendums passing in La Crosse is a good start.
La Crosse school officials think it will take about six months of planning and another 18 months to build the school with an opening date in the fall of 2014.
The plan at Western Technical College is to have most of the renovations completed by 2016, with some of the money going toward the school’s larger goal to train 1,000 more students a year by 2020.

Wisconsin second in the nation with high school grad rates
Wisconsin has a history of ranking high among states for high school graduation rates.
Now, with a new measuring system being used for the first time, Wisconsin still ranks near the top, tying for the second spot in the nation.
The U.S. Department of Education is measuring states' graduation rates in a new and uniform way.
Before this year, the rates were measured differently in each state, which made it difficult to compare them accurately.
But now, a new method tracks students the same way in every state.
"The former way was it was tallied. It was a legacy. It wasn't just a four year 9-to-12 grade model. The new method under No Child Left Behind is intended to be a little bit more accurate and takes a look from ninth grade to the summer of their 12th grade year to take that comparison, so it's really an apples-to-apples comparison," said Troy Harcey, associate superintendent of instruction in the La Crosse School District.
Under the new measurement, Wisconsin comes in second in the nation with an 87 percent graduation rate.
The La Crosse School District comes in even higher, with about a 94 percent graduation rate.
Which raises the question, "Why are we doing so well?"
"There is such a collaborative effort with the community, with the schools and with people in the schools. Everybody is really focused on how important it is to make sure these kids are provided with the best education," said Dr. Deborah Markos, associate principal of Logan High School.
"Here at Central High School and at other schools, there are transition programs for freshman to welcome them into high school. Then once they start school, we have monitoring systems set up to make sure we have as many students as possible to be credit-current and to make sure they're on track to graduate," said Jeff Fleig, principal of Central High School.
"We're a 360-degree service for students with all the supports we have -- that includes things we have that are outside of the school building," said Harcey.
But even though Wisconsin is near the top in the nation, all educators agree, there's still plenty of work to be done.
"There's always room for improvement. Until we have 100 percent of our kids proficient or advanced or 100 percent of our kids graduating, we just can't stop improving," said Fleig.
"We don't want to say good is good enough, because it never is, and we want to be challenging Iowa for number one in the future," said Harcey.
Iowa took the top spot with an 88 percent graduation rate.
Wisconsin tied for second with Vermont, and Minnesota tied with three other states for 10th place.
The U.S. Department of Education said Nevada came in with the lowest graduation rate at 62 percent.

Peterson not enough in Minnesota's 30-20 loss
SEATTLE (AP) -- Adrian Peterson made one of the best defenses in the league look lost. Whether he was running in between the tackles or going to the edge, Peterson galloped through Seattle's defense like no one has in more than three years.
It was in other areas where the Vikings could not match what Peterson was doing.
"Adrian is a beast. Adrian was amazing today. He should get tomorrow off and we should all go to work," Minnesota defensive end Jared Allen said. "It is just embarrassing, two weeks in a row and it is absolutely embarrassing. I apologize to our fans; we have to get this thing fixed."
Peterson ran for 182 yards and two touchdowns, his best game since 2008, but Minnesota could not overcome three first-half touchdown passes by Russell Wilson and 124 yards from Marshawn Lynch in Seattle's 30-20 win on Sunday that could have greater implications later in the season.
Minnesota lost for the third time in four games and this one stings more because of how dynamic Peterson was in the first half. He went for 74 yards on the second play of the game, getting tracked down at the 1-yard line before scoring two plays later. His 144 yards on 12 carries was the best first half performance of Peterson's career. He had runs of 74, 24, 16 and 15 in the opening 30 minutes.
And then he disappeared. Peterson had just five carries for 38 yards in the second half with 28 coming on one run. His last carry came with 13:06 remaining and the Vikings trailing 27-20. In the final 11:49, Minnesota had possession for all of 56 seconds.
"Usually when we run as well as we ran the ball today, that's a good sign for our football team, all the way around. We weren't able to capitalize on a terrific day by him, a great day," Minnesota coach Leslie Frazier said. "To run the ball as well as he did against the fifth ranked rushing defense in our league and to not come away with more as a team is disappointing."
Seattle ran out the final 5:27, converting a pair of fourth downs and relying on the legs of Lynch while Peterson was left to watch.
"I always want the ball more," said Peterson, who had his best day since running for 192 vs. Green Bay in the 2008 season. "That's just my mentality, especially when I'm hot, but I go out and do my job no matter what the play call is."
While Peterson was mostly a second-half spectator, the Vikings tried to get Christian Ponder going. It was a failed attempt, as Ponder was just 4 of 9 for 21 yards in the second half. No Minnesota receiver had more than 14 yards receiving and Peterson was the leading receiver with three catches.
Ponder finished 11 of 22 for 63 yards and was sacked four times. He threw an interception in the fourth quarter when Minnesota barely held possession despite entering the quarter trailing just 27-20. It was the second time in three games that Ponder failed to top 70 yards.
"The past couple games it's been one-dimensional. We've seen what the passing game can do, early on in the season. We just got to get back to that," Ponder said. "We're good at throwing the ball, we've got good receivers, we've got good blocking for me. I just got to keep doing a better job of getting the ball in their hands. This offense isn't one-dimensional. We've shown that the past couple games, but we can throw the ball and we're going to figure it out and we're going to win in the end."
The matchup between the top two rushers in the NFL didn't disappoint, with Peterson's elusiveness causing headaches for Seattle's defense and Lynch's bullying runs giving headaches to the Vikings..
"His physical style. There were a couple of times I said to myself, `Nice move, nice cut or whatever,'" Peterson said of Lynch. "He does a great job of being physical, and that's what I'm all about, so he has my utmost respect."
The difference turned out to be Wilson, Seattle's improving rookie QB..
Wilson finished 16 of 24 for 173 yards and didn't throw an interception for just the second time in his last six games.
"To have the capability to play a certain way and to get smoked in your own house then come back and get smoked again, guy's mindsets have to change," Allen said. "From top to bottom, from coaches down to the quality control guys it's time to get this thing rolling and get back to what we were doing well."
Notes: Peterson's yards rushing were the most allowed by Seattle since Frank Gore went for 207 in 2009. ... Seattle LB K.J. Wright left in the first quarter with a concussion. ... Seattle now owns tiebreakers in the NFC over both Minnesota and Dallas.

Need to bury a dead rat? If there are sexton beetles around they'll do the job for you and decompose the body as well (see video above). The time-lapse, captured by BBC Scotland for a project called After Life that looks at the science of decay, follows the process over a 24 hour period. After about 12 hours, the rat disappears under the soil where the beetles orient its body and remove all its fur. "You can see that the soil gets fluffier," says photographer Graham Russell.
The rat was photographed in a garden area built for the project at Edinburgh Zoo. A kitchen was also constructed to observe decomposing food like a maggot-covered burger and a decomposing chicken. The clips will be part of a full-length programme airing on BBC Four later this year.
For more information, you can follow the project on Twitter @bbcrotbox.

LI's Bedell wine part of Capitol's inaugural lunch
Photo credit: Randee Daddona | Ripe merlot grapes ready for picking during harvest at Bedell Cellars Vineyard in Cutchogue. (Oct. 2, 2012)
Along with local politicos and influence peddlers, Long Island wine is heading to the nation's capital for President Barack Obama's second inauguration on Jan. 21. The North Fork's Bedell Cellars 2009 Merlot is one of three wines that will be served at the presidential luncheon in the Capitol after the ceremony.
"It's a rare honor, for sure," said Trent Preszler, CEO of the Cutchogue-based winery.
Bedell sent several bottles for the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies to consider, but Preszler was not surprised that the 2009 merlot, which retails for about $30, was selected. "Merlot is a grape that has worked really well for Long Island," he said, "and the 2009 vintage resulted in some of the most elegant red wines we've ever made."
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), chairman of the inaugural committee, has seen to it that the whole meal is suffused with Empire State products. The Bedell merlot will be served with the luncheon's second course (hickory-grilled bison), but the first course (steamed lobster with New England chowder) will be accompanied by Tierce 2010 Dry Riesling from the Finger Lakes.
Dessert will feature an apple pie made with Hudson Valley apples, cheese from Otsego and honey from Rochester. In what appears to be a concession to interstate harmony, it will be paired with Korbel Natural, Special Inaugural Cuvée Champagne from California.
The inaugural luncheon is attended by the president, vice president, their families, congressional leaders, cabinet members and Supreme Court justices. The 200 guests are served in the Capitol's Statuary Hall right after the president's address. The next item on Obama's agenda will be the inaugural parade -- a good reason, perhaps, to go easy on the wine.

Cadillac borrows Chevy Volt technology for hybrid model
Photo credit: Getty Images | Cadillac shows off its ELR extended-range luxury hybrid during the media preview at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. (Jan. 15, 2013)
When General Motors Co. decided to make a plug-in hybrid, there was lively discussion behind closed doors whether the first model should be a Chevrolet or a Cadillac. The Chevy arguments won out and the Volt was born.
The Volt -- the first car to mix all-electric capabilities with a gas engine to extend the range -- has had a tough time, with disappointing sales and, for Republicans during the presidential campaign, as a symbol of the failings of President Barack Obama’s auto-industry bailout.
Now, GM has a second chance with Volt technology: the Cadillac ELR plug-in hybrid, revealed Jan. 15 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
“GM is saying to the world we’re committed to this extended-range hybrid system,” said Larry Dominique, executive vice president of TrueCar.com, a website that tracks auto sales.
The Volt, chosen as 2011’s North American Car of the Year, succeeded in satisfying its customers, with 92 percent of survey respondents telling Consumer Reports they would buy one again -- the second straight year it ranked highest. GM’s luxury brand Cadillac won its first such award yesterday with its ATS sedan.
While the electric-drive Cadillac won’t go on sale until 2014 and first-year sales will likely be small, it’s important to Cadillac and to GM. It will help to freshen Cadillac’s image at a time when other luxury brands, which tend to have higher profit margins than less-expensive vehicles, have pushed Cadillac to the second tier.
‘Provocative’ Technology
“The ELR puts us in a position to be provocative, to be a technology leader, to offer something that is unique and exclusive, and those sound like attributes that go back to ‘Cadillac’ the adjective,” Bob Ferguson, the brand’s leader, said in an interview last week.
In addition, offering another model for sale can spread the costs of the technology over more vehicles and reduce the cost per car to accelerate the time to break even on the expensive technology.
The ELR will compete most directly with offerings from unprofitable luxury electric-car start-ups Tesla Motors Inc. and Fisker Automotive Inc., rather than Toyota Motor Corp.’s Lexus luxury hybrids, which are based on technology used in the popular Prius line. GM’s new car will land closer to Bayerische Motoren Werke's BMW i3 electric model, set to go into production in the fourth quarter, and Volkswagen’s Porsche 918 Spyder, an $845,000 hybrid, coming later this year.
More Than Volt
While GM hasn’t said what the ELR will cost, it will be more than the Volt. It will probably cost around $60,000 to $70,000, said a person familiar with the pricing who asked not to be identified revealing private plans.
The Volt went on sale in 2010 with the aim of putting GM’s Chevrolet on the forefront of green technology globally and taking on Toyota’s mass-market Prius hybrid, which starts at $24,200. GM originally aimed to sell 60,000 Volts worldwide last year before lowering the target to 35,000. In the U.S., it sold 23,461. GM hasn’t said how many it sold worldwide.
Part of Volt’s problem has been price. Starting at $39,145, the four-seat small car loaded up with pricey batteries is much more costly than a similar-size traditional compact, even with a $7,500 tax credit. The Toyota Corolla, for example, starts at $16,230. The best deal on a Volt has been through a lease, with monthly payments currently advertised at $329 on Chevy’s website.
Cadillac Demographics
That’s one of the arguments for why offering Volt as a Cadillac may have helped. Cadillac buyers expect to pay more than Chevrolet buyers, and luxury buyers are also attracted to the latest in technology, such as the Volt’s unique powertrain system.
“The demographics of the electric-car buyer are really more in line with Cadillac than Chevrolet,” said Rebecca Lindland, an industry analyst with IHS Automotive.
Compared with buyers of mainstream models, luxury buyers more often finance the purchase with a lease, which often requires a smaller down payment or lower monthly bill. About 38 percent of Cadillac sales last year in the U.S. were leases, while Chevrolet had only 12 percent, according to Edmunds.com. Of GM’s U.S. Volt sales last year, 46 percent were leases, Edmunds said.
Since the days of Henry Leland, who founded Cadillac more than 110 years ago, the brand prided itself on having some of the auto industry’s innovations. Electric starters, power steering and mass-produced V-8 engines were first in Cadillac cars before costs came down and spread to cheaper vehicles. Volt technology would have been another in the list.
Brand Arguments
Ferguson acknowledged that’d he heard the arguments before that Cadillac should have gone first. Another GM executive, Ed Welburn, the company’s design chief, confirmed it was part of the early development discussions.
If the model was just for the U.S., then the arguments for selling the technology under a Cadillac badge first would be right, said Bob Lutz, the former GM vice chairman, who led development of the Volt.
“But Chevrolet was/is GM’s global brand, and we wanted global distribution,” he said in an e-mail. “A Cadillac- branded Volt would have had almost zero potential in Europe, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Australia and Asia.”
As the debate about Volt continued, GM designers and engineers worked in the background on the ELR. The new two-door Cadillac is sportier than the four-door Chevy. It’s as if the Volt and Cadillac CTS Coupe had a baby named ELR. The electric car’s styling includes a muscular hood, wide stance, 20-inch wheels and tail-lights that form slight wings that hint at Cadillac designs of a bygone era.
Interior Touches
Inside, the SLR has four seats, just as the Volt does, while the interior touches are less nerdy and more refined than its Chevrolet brother. Opus semi-aniline leather seats are offered and engineers dreamed up an electronic-assisted cup- holder door.
The Volt can go about 38 miles on all-electric power before the gasoline engine kicks on, Chris Thomason, ELR chief engineer said. The ELR, which is heavier, will go about 35 miles, while having a “radically” driving experience, he said, one that is “more performance-oriented.”
In focus groups held in California, GM found that potential buyers of the ELR, which starts production late this year, were interested in different things than Volt shoppers.
“The top question was not around fuel economy,” Ferguson said of ELR’s market. “It was more around performance, styling and technology leadership.”
While U.S. Volt sales may increase 70 percent to 40,000 this year, ELR’s first year of sales in 2014 may reach only 1,500, said Alan Baum, an industry researcher.
Still, this isn’t just about ELR sales, GM Chief Executive Officer Dan Akerson said last week in Detroit.
“It will be a statement car that I think will bring people into the showroom,” he said.

Kellie Pickler shaves her head in support of friend with cancer
Photo credit: Russ Harrington | A freshly cropped Kellie Pickler, left, with her friend Summer Holt Miller.
Singer Kellie Pickler has shaved her head for a cause: her best friend.
Childhood buddy Summer Holt Miller had been diagnosed with breast cancer, so Pickler and she went under the clippers together. The two women -- both of whom had flowing blonde hair -- revealed their new crops Wednesday on "Good Morning America."
In a statement on Pickler's Facebook page, Miller is referred to as a "sister" who was diagnosed, at age 36, with cancer in June.
Pickler hinted about the head shaving Monday, tweeting, "Be sure to watch 'Good Morning America' tomorrow morning (Sept 5th). You won't want to miss this!!! ;)"
And the Twittersphere sent the love right back, with Ellen DeGeneres tweeting to Pickler, "You have never looked more beautiful."
Read Miller's online journal here.

Fall races worth the sweat in the Hudson Valley
Photo credit: Handout | The Sleepy Hollow Halloween 10K takes place on Saturday, Oct. 20.
From a challenging trail half-marathon to a Halloween-themed 10K to a flat 5K Turkey Trot, options abound for road races once the weather turns cool. So why race in the fall? The reason's pretty obvious.
"The weather's better. It's cooler," said Tom Maile, a former president and current board member for the Taconic Road Runners (). "Races in the heat of summer are difficult for a lot of people."
With dozens of races taking place in Westchester, Rockland and the Hudson Valley this fall, we ask running experts to pick their favorite races -- those that are particularly scenic or interesting or popular or just plain fun. Below are their picks, plus seven honorable mentions, with plenty of options for serious runners and newbies alike.
Sunday, Oct. 14: Be Healthy Run-Walk in Nyack
Like other races on this list, the 22nd annual Be Healthy 5K Run-Walk has recently undergone some changes. Before last year's event, the race was a challenging 10K. This time around, that length has been halved and the course is flat and fast.
Hosted by the Nyack Hospital Foundation, the net proceeds from the event go to the Blow Away Breast Cancer Drive, which promotes breast cancer awareness in the community and provides free screenings for the underserved.
About 200 to 300 people are expected to come out for the event, which starts and finishes on the grounds of Nyack Hospital. The post-run party will include snacks, bagels, prizes and more. The first 200 paid registrants will receive a T-shirt. Good to know: There will be a $250 prize for the club or the team that registers the largest number of their members.
"We want everyone to have a good time," said Jill Garland, the executive director of the Nyack Hospital Foundation, adding that "we feel strongly about the cause."
Start time: 9 a.m. run, 9:05 a.m. walk
Registration: $25 adult preregistration, $30 adult race day entry; $20 youth (under 17) preregistration, $25 youth race day entry; race day entry runs from 7:15 to 8:45 a.m.; preregistration is accepted online until Wednesday, Oct. 10; in-person registration from Oct. 11-13 at Modell's Sporting Goods in the Palisades Mall (5-8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11; 1-4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 12; noon-4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13)
Info: 160 N. Midland Ave., Nyack; 917-617-0142;
Saturday, Oct. 20: Sleepy Hollow Halloween 10K
If you're looking for a fun event, the Sleepy Hollow Halloween 10K, which also offers a 1-mile fun run for kids, is your race. And it's not just fun. It's also challenging and scenic, with a course that passes Sleepy Hollow sites like the Headless Horseman Bridge, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Old Dutch Church and Kingsland Point Park.
The Halloween theme means that costumes are strongly encouraged for the 400 or so runners. In past years, runners have come as bumble bees, jailbirds, vampires and more, said Todd Ruppel, the vice president of Rivertown Runners, the group organizing the event (rivertownrunners.blogspot.com). This year there will be ghouls on the race course, too.
The course, which includes three water stations, starts and finishes near the Morse School parking lot. Parking is at Sleepy Hollow High School and by the Bridge View Tavern; the Metro North station is within walking distance of the event. Bib and race T-shirt pickup are from 7:30 to 8:45 a.m. on race day or during business hours on Wednesday through Friday at Westchester Road Runner in White Plains.
The post-race party features live music, post-race beer tastings, raffle prizes and race awards. Some proceeds go to the RTR Outreach Fund, which in the past has supported a local food pantry and a local kids club.
Start time: 9 a.m. kids fun run (6 and older); 9:30 a.m. 10K start
Registration: $30 registration until Oct. 18, $35 race day registration; $5 registration for kids, which includes face painting, Halloween crafts and more ($5 fee for nonrunning kids, too, who want to take part in other activities)
Info: Morse School, 30 Pocantico St., Tarrytown;
Sunday, Oct. 21: Harry Chapin Run Against Hunger
The 32nd annual Harry Chapin Run Against Hunger in Croton-on-Hudson, which includes a 10K race, a 5K walk and a 1-mile kids fun run, is a favorite among area runners.
Tom Maile of the Taconic Road Runners Club says that while it's a demanding course with plenty of hills, it's also "spectacular," as it heads over the New Croton Dam out to the Croton River and back (it starts and finishes at Croton-Harmon High School). Besides the event's scenic course, he appreciates that it raises money for a great cause -- about $30,000 in proceeds from the 2011 race supported the Cortlandt Emergency Food Bank, Caring for the Homeless of Peekskill and other charitable groups, local and international.
Todd Ruppel of Rivertown Runners similarly remarked on the beauty of the course. From atop the New Croton Dam, "some of the views are just awesome," he said. He also appreciates the later start time (the 10K starts at 12:45 p.m.), which allows racers to keep their mornings free but still "get it over to watch your football."
Of about 1,000 runners who come out annually for the event, some 600 are kids who take part in the fun run. It's "a big family event," said Jud Ramaker, the race director for the past 22 years. "We've long believed that the roots should be with the schools and here we are," he said, noting that the participation medals given out young runners certainly doesn't hurt the registration numbers.
There is ample parking at the Croton-Harmon High School and the race is just over a mile from the Metro-North Station. Post-race, there will be refreshments and a raffle, plus two local establishments selling burgers, hot dogs and other snacks.
Start time: 10:30 a.m. 5K walk; noon 1-mile fun run; 12:45 p.m. 10K race
Registration: $24 preregistration for the 10K, $29 race day; $20 preregistration for the 5K, $25 race day; $8 preregistration for the fun run for kids 15 and under, $10 for kids 16 and older ($10/$12 for race day); online preregistration is available through Oct. 19; in-person preregistration is available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 20, at Asbury United Methodist Church (17 Old Post Rd. South, Croton-on-Hudson); race day registration is from 9 a.m.to noon at Croton-Harmon High School
Info: Croton-Harmon High School, 36 Old Post Rd. South, Croton-on-Hudson; 914-552-0173;
MORE GREAT RACES
Sunday, Sept. 30: Putnam County Fall Classic
The 19th annual Putnam County Fall Classic, which includes a half-marathon and a 5K race, is held on dirt roads in Brewster. Andy Kimerling of Westchester Road Runner commended the scenic beauty of the course.
Info: 50 Main St., Brewster;
Sunday, Oct. 7: Westchester Running Festival
The 8th annual Westchester Medical Center Running Festival includes a half-marathon, quarter-marathon and 1-mile kids fun run. The course starts from the Westchester County Center and runs along the Bronx River Parkway.
Info: Westchester County Center, 198 Central Ave., White Plains;
Sunday, Oct. 14: Paine to Pain Trail Half-Marathon
The 5th annual Paine to Pain event takes off from the Thomas Paine Cottage in New Rochelle. The course takes runners deep into trails along the Hutchinson River Parkway and Saxon Woods Park, finishing around a track. "The race draws a nice crowd because it's unusual," said Andy Kimerling.
Info: Thomas Paine Cottage, New Rochelle;
Sunday, Oct. 21: Run the Farm at Muscoot Farm
The 3rd annual Run the Farm event includes a 5-mile trail race and a kids fun run at Muscoot Farm in Somers. Stop by the farmers market for a post-race snack.
Info: Muscoot Farm, 51 Route 100, Somers; runthefarm.org
Sunday, Nov. 18: Mamaroneck Turkey Trot
The 46th annual 5K Turkey Trot and 1-mile kids fun run in Mamaroneck is flat and fast. So much so that it's billed as the "flattest course in Westchester."
Info: Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck; 917-777-7784;;
Thursday, Nov. 22: 5-Mile Turkey Trot at Rockland State Park
The 21st annual 5-mile Turkey Trot draws more than 3,000 participants annually (the Rivertown Runners even rent the Peekskill trolley to take runners to the race). After running five miles, you're free to eat whatever you want for Thanksgiving dinner, too.
Info: North Pool Parking Lot, Rockland Lake State Park;
Thursday, Nov. 22: Dutchess County Turkey Trot
The Mid-Hudson Road Runners put on this annual event, which includes at 25K, 5-mile run, 2-mile fun run and 1-mile kids fun run.
Info: Arlington High School, Route 55, Freedom Plains;

Staal still not ready, sits out again
Photo credit: Getty Images | Marc Staal #18 of the New York Rangers looks on during the Honda NHL SuperSkills competition. (Jan. 29, 2011)
Marc Staal suffered what John Tortorella called "a little bit" of a setback when he tried to practice on Monday, and the Rangers defenseman sat out a third straight game last night with an injured left knee.
"We thought he was close, but it's just not right," Tortorella said. The Rangers have only Wednesday to practice before facing the Wild Thursday at home and the Senators on Friday in Ottawa,...

Before you set foot inside Paparazzi, the aroma of wood smoke wafting from the restaurant begins to whet your appetite. Enter, and you'll discover its source: a wood-burning pizza oven, fabricated in Italy and assembled on site by the Modena manufacturer's craftsmen.
Hanging next to the oven is a large black and white photo of John Travolta. At first, the picture seems out of place. A quaint Old World print of a pizzaiolo wielding an 8-foot pizza paddle, maybe. Or a Mediterranean landscape. But John Travolta?
Then you realize the portrait is among dozens of framed candid shots lining the semolina-yellow walls of the contemporary dining room, a gallery of famous faces spanning the decades from the coining of the term "paparazzi" (Marcello Mastroianni) to now (Angelina Jolie).
The theme of the decor is more than just a clever visual reference to the restaurant's name. It also serves notice that Paparazzi is not your typical Italian restaurant.
Changes with seasons
Executive chef Jason Malone's menu changes with the seasons, for starters, showcasing the harvest with a mix of traditional and contemporary fare. Roasted young peppers - one each of red and yellow, stuffed with goat cheese and topped with pine nuts, raisins, capers, basil and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil - are a vibrant highlight of the current antipasti offering.
Grilled artichoke crostini, topped with ricotta and a shower of arugula in a lemon vinaigrette, is another winning starter. So is a salad of shaved fennel, arugula, oranges and pistachio-crusted goat cheese.
If you're craving smoky fare, resist the temptation of "wood roasted prawns wrapped in prosciutto" (the size of the shrimp doesn't merit the name "prawns," much less the $9 price tag for just two). Opt instead for the wood oven-roasted chicken wings, seasoned with rosemary, chiles, lemon and garlic and served in a rustic earthenware baking dish.
Menu skips clichés
Or you could just head straight for the wood-fired pizzas, whose thin, blistery crusts and 10-inch size are just right for a shared starter or a light meal for one. The Napoletana, featuring San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil and olive oil, is a purist's delight. More elaborate topping combinations range from Funghi (wild mushrooms, taleggio cheese and arugula) to Pancetta (with gorgonzola, onion, pear and balsamic reduction).
The menu describes tagliatelle bolognese as the house specialty, noting that the sauce is made from a 100-year-old recipe. I can't vouch for its pedigree, but I can confirm that the sauce - rich, robust and winey, punctuated with finely diced carrots - is exceptional.
You'll search Paparazzi's entree list in vain for Italian restaurant clichés such as veal marsala and chicken Parmesan. But you will find chicken in parchment and grilled veal hanger steak. There's also a nightly fresh fish special (recent options have included grouper and Scottish salmon).
Take their advice
It pays to listen when your server is reciting those specials, especially when it comes to the two house-made pastas. One of them is invariably ravioli, large, pillowy pockets whose filling might be anything from lobster to cheese. According to Joe Forgione Jr., who owns the restaurant with his father, the ravioli is hands-down the restaurant's best-seller. Having sampled a recent version filled with a voluptuous blend of cheeses and blanketed in mint-pistachio pesto, I see why.
I also understand Joe Jr's. lifelong fondness for the ricotta cheesecake. It's made by his mother, Sherry, who also makes a delightful orange semifreddo on a crushed pistachio crust.
Veterans of the restaurant business, the Forgiones operated restaurants and country clubs in southern Florida before moving to the Triangle to open Paparazzi. Their refreshing take on an Italian restaurant is clearly a welcome addition to the local dining scene, judging by the crowds that frequently fill the dining room.
The wait staff has trouble keeping up with those crowds, a problem that's exacerbated by the fact that some servers are less experienced than others. Given the owners' track record, though, it won't be long before Paparazzi lives up to its slogan, "where every guest is treated like a star."

December 4, 2012
The federal government is changing the chemical makeup of gasoline by adding more ethanol. The move is supposed to help protect the environment, but local mechanics warn that it may be hurting cars.
Ethanol is supposed to burn cleaner and help America become less dependent on foreign oil.
"We need a movement towards making the environment better, cleaner, more sustainable for the future," said University of Virginia student Ankit Gupta.
Currently ten percent of the fuel we put in our cars comes from corn-based ethanol. The Environmental Protection Agency has now approved raising the blend to 15 percent, called E15.
However, AAA is warning this may damage vehicles, especially older models.
"The government requiring manufacturers to blend their fuels at that high of a rate will cause those new vehicles to deteriorate at a faster rate," said Paul Jaderborg, a mechanic at Settle Tire in Charlottesville. "Therefore the manufacturers of those vehicles will not honor their warranties anymore."
A dozen auto companies, including giants like Honda, Toyota, and Ford, have said that their warranties would not cover damage caused by E15. Jaderborg says during the past five years, he has already seen more cars with problems because of the current level of ethanol in gas. He says a higher ethanol blend will only mean more repairs for his customers.
"It's unfortunate that the consumer is going to have to pay more to maintain their vehicle and I am going to see a lot more of that work here," said Jaderborg. "For my financial well being, it is going to help me a bit."
So far E15 is not for sale in Virginia, but industry experts say it is only a matter

His and hersBy Sophie Elmhirst Published 26 March 2012
The idea: gather some of the "the world's most important artist couples" - including Richard and Jane Wentworth; Rem Koolhaas and Madelon Vriesendorp; Antony Gormley and Vicken Parsons; Neo Rauch and Rosa Loy; Gary Hume and Georgie Hopton - and ask them to collaborate on a piece of work for an exhibition. Call the exhibition "Sweethearts" and arrange the artists' names in a pink heart on the publicity material.
The reality (Hume and Hopton were asked the same questions in separate conversations on the phone - Hume from New York, Hopton from London):
Hopton It's a little tricky, and not because it wasn't a nice idea. It's a lovely idea, in theory.
Hume I didn't want to do it. Because it just seemed a huge amount of pressure, for what?
Hopton It's a little more difficult because Gary and I do work independently. I have collaborated with people in the past really happily and smoothly, but it was always initiated by me. Gary and I have never collaborated.
Hume Me and Georgie pick up a plank and, like Laurel and Hardy, I go in one direction and she goes in another, both absolutely convinced we've got the perfect solution to a problem. I've spent quite a lot of energy making sure I'm left alone and that my studio is completely private. Georgie pops in, but it's not a place that belongs to us, it's mine. And I absolutely love that; I don't want her there, I don't want anybody there.
Hopton I gave Gary some of my photographs and I thought, "He'll half finish them and give them to me to work on," but he ended up looking at one of the photographs and making three paintings from it. So, of course, you can imagine that I said, "Well that's not very collaborative."
Hume She said, "Why haven't you done what I wanted you to do?" and I said, "Because I don't want to do it." And she said, "Well thanks a lot. What am I supposed to do?"
Hopton He dutifully handed over three drawings to me and then I worked on them in the privacy of my studio. I loved the paintings he did in response to my photographs, and he was thrilled with the collages I made with his drawings so that's what we've got.
Hume I said, "I've made you three really difficult drawings that I couldn't make paintings from, and if you can pull anything out of them, well good luck . . ." And she wasn't that happy, but she did her best.
Hopton The two of us really love to be alone in the studio. It's not that we don't like each other's company; we do, but we have this house in America and we spend an awful lot of time alone together there, and we're blissfully happy and more in love than we ever are here, because when we're here we're so busy we rarely see each other.
Hume I know that her work is absolutely hers, and mine is absolutely mine. We're alone making it . . . I like being alone making things. It's the great pleasure of it.
“Sweethearts" is at the Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London W1, from 21 March to 21 Apr

As of Thursday, May 10, 2012
Ian Poulter of England, hits from the 18th fairway during the first round of the Players Championship golf tournament, Thursday, May 10, 2012, at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. (AP Photo/John Raoux)
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Ian Poulter is enjoying his new digs -- his newly built home and his spot atop the leaderboard Thursday in The Players Championship.
His 7-under 65 on the TPC Sawgrass wasn't nearly as stressful as the construction that took nearly three years.
Poulter spent so much time moving into his new house at Lake Nona in Orlando last week that he barely had time to practice. At least now he can concentrate solely on his made birdie on all of the par 5s and had nine straight one-putt greens, a streak that ended with a long two-putt for par on the 18th.
That gave him a one-shot lead over Blake Adams among the early starters. And he was nine shots clear of Woods.
Woods at least kept alive one streak. He had never broken 70 in the opening round of this tournament.
This time, he wasn.
Kevin Na shot 30 on the back nine and was at 67, alone with Ben Crane, who has been seen on television in recent weeks on the final green to congratulate winners -- Bubba Watson at the Masters, Rickie Fowler last week in the Wells Fargo Championship.
Matt Kuchar had three straight birdies late in his round and was in the group at 68.
Phil Mickelson, inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame on Monday, and world No. 1 Rory McIlroy were among the late starters., Fowler and Hunter Mahan, the only player with two wins this year. None of them were particularly impressive. Fowler."

The same questions.
Her record: how partisan? ideological? activist?
As with Justices Scalia and Thomas in previous posts in this series, the questions are not about whether, or how much, you--or I--might happen to like the results Ginsburg supported with her votes. [This is mostly directed to my dear liberal friends.] The questions are not about whether you--or I--might prefer the liberal positions she usually takes to the conservative ones that Scalia and Thomas usually do.
No.
Instead, the questions, as they were with Scalia and Thomas (and don't forget Kennedy), are:
How closely does Ginsburg's voting record mirror that which we would expect from partisan politicians--whether conservative Republican politicians or liberal Democratic ones--on those most highly partisan-charged issues?
How politically conservative or liberal is her voting record across the broad swath of ideologically-laden issues?
How judicially activist or restrained is her record?
Well, [And again, this is mostly directed to my dear liberal friends.] brace yourselves.
How partisan her record?
Take a look.
(click to enlarge)
GRAPH 1
100% partisan, that how much!
Yes, as lopsidedly partisan as Scalia's and Thomas's records.
Ginsburg's voting record is both the same and the opposite as their records. The same as in being one-sided--i.e., supporting every position in these highly-charged cases as would be expected of certain highly partisan politicians. The opposite as in supporting the opposite position of Scalia and Thomas in every case--i.e., supporting the positions that would be expected of partisans on the opposite side of the political aisle. (If it need be spelled out: she liberal Democrats, they conservative Republicans.)
Stated otherwise, Ginsburg's voting record in the highly partisan cases is 100% where Scalia's and Thomas's is 0%. And hers is 0% where theirs is 100%. Just the flip side.
So, for example, she voted in support of the class action against Walmart for discrimination against women workers; they voted to dismiss the action. She voted in support of a lower court order to alleviate unlawful prison overcrowding in California; they voted against the order.
She voted in support of the federal and Arizona campaign finance restrictions, as well as in support of the California university's refusal to fund a Christian student group which discriminated against gays and lesbians. Scalia and Thomas voted against all of those measures.
She also voted to allow a lawsuit by Arizona taxpayers challenging that state's alleged establishment of religion violation; voted to uphold a constitutional challenge to Arizona's enforcement of immigration laws; and voted to allow the broadcast of a trial challenging the constitutionality of California's ban on same-sex marriage. Scalia and Thomas voted the opposite in each case.
Different lenses. Different leanings. Different partisan conformities. But respective conformities to be sure.
One might well expect the voting across the larger body of generally ideologically-laden cases to show much the same. It does. Ginsburg's record--like that of Scalia and Thomas--reveals a strong ideological bent. Hers, not surprisingly, is strongly liberal.
(click to enlarge)
Her record in this regard is far more tilted in one direction than that of Justice Kennedy or the Court as a whole. While hers is more than 4-1 politically liberal, Kennedy's and the Court's records are both less than 2-1 politically conservative.
What about judicial activism-restraint? What is Ginsburg's record, and how does it compare with that of Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy, and the Court--all, as we've seen in previous posts, having highly activist records. Take a look.
(click to enlarge)
GRAPH 3
As shown in Graph 3, Ginsburg's record is much less activist than that of Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy, or the Court itself. Her record shows that she voted to uphold the choices made by the other branches and the states twice as frequently as she voted to invalidate them. By sharp contrast, Scalia, Kennedy and the Court as a whole favored invalidating three times as frequently as upholding; for Thomas it was twice as frequently.
In short, Ginsburg's record is 2-1 judicial restraint. Scalia's, Thomas's, Kennedy's, and the Court's are 3-1 or 2-1 judicial activist.
So who's deferring to the judgments of the other branches and the states? The liberal Ginsburg! Not the conservatives Scalia and Thomas, or the swing vote Kennedy, or the conservative Court itself.
BUT, let's look a bit deeper. What did she vote to uphold? What to invalidate?
Ginsburg voted to uphold federal restrictions on business under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; to uphold federal campaign finance restrictions; and to uphold the federal "Honest Services" law (by giving it a saving interpretation) in the case against the Enron CEO. Scalia, Thomas, and Kennedy voted to invalidate in each of those cases.
She also voted to uphold a state law favoring class actions (as opposed to arbitration) against businesses; to uphold state campaign finance restrictions; to uphold state tort laws against drug manufacturers; and to uphold a state rule prohibiting sexual orientation discrimination in university-funded student groups, including religious ones.
Again, Scalia, Thomas, and Kennedy voted to invalidate the state's judgment in each of those cases--with the single exception of Kennedy who voted to uphold the state university's anti-discrimination rule.
Ginsburg did vote to invalidate some laws. She did vote against a state law providing tuition credits for students attending private religious schools; against a state law enforcing immigration restrictions; against a state law allowing life sentences without parole for juveniles; and against a federal law accommodating the display of a Christian cross on public land.
Scalia and Thomas voted to uphold all those laws. Kennedy did as well, except for the law allowing juveniles to be sentenced for life with no parole.
What is undeniable is that Ginsburg's record is one of more restraint--i.e., less judicial activism--than that of her conservative colleagues. She deferred to the choices of the other branches and the states much more frequently than Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy, and the Court itself. HOWEVER....
What is also undeniable is that her activism-restraint record is simply a reflection of the highly ideological pattern of her voting record generally.
Yes, she often voted to uphold laws, to defer to the other branches and the states. BUT she did so when the laws at issue were those that would be favored by political liberals. AND she voted against laws that would be favored by political conservatives. Just the reverse of Scalia and Thomas.
So Ginsburg voted to uphold laws that placed restrictions on business, that held businesses accountable in tort law, that protected gay rights, and that limited campaign spending. All laws favored by political liberals. (By the same token, Scalia and Thomas, not surprisingly, voted against all those laws.)
Ginsburg voted against laws supporting religion, enforcing immigration restrictions, and imposing harsh sentences. All laws favored by political conservatives. (Again, by the same token, Scalia and Thomas voted to uphold those laws.)
So, Ginsburg's record is one of judicial restraint (i.e., uphold) when the laws at issue are politically liberal ones. Her record is one of judicial activism (invalidate) when the laws at issue are politically conservative ones.
If one likes the way Ginsburg votes--prefers the way she votes to that of Scalia and Thomas--that's almost certainly a reflection of one's own political, ideological, philosophical leanings. NOT any realistic or objective assessment of her voting as being more balanced or neutral or detached than that of the conservative Justices.
To be plain, Ginsburg's record shows her to be as ideologically driven--yes, even partisan--as Scalia and Thomas. Just in the opposite direction.
[Disclosure: I much prefer her record to theirs. But I'm trying not to kid myself why I do.]
To conclude our little study of Justice Ginsburg's record, let's put all the foregoing together in one increasingly cluttered graph.

In 1984, Continental Illinois, then one of the country’s largest banks, found itself on the verge of collapse, after billions of dollars’ worth of its loans went bad. To avert a crisis, the government stepped in, purchasing $3.5 billion of the soured loans and effectively taking over the bank. Later that year, at a congressional subcommittee hearing, Representative Stewart McKinney summed up the lesson of the rescue effort: “Let us not bandy words. We have a new kind of bank. It is called too big to fail. T.B.T.F., and it is a wonderful bank.”
Since then,.
Rescuing failing companies obviously runs the risk of creating moral hazard—if we insulate people from the consequences of their irresponsibility, they’re more likely to be irresponsible in the future. But the Fed did a good job of lessening that risk, making sure that Bear suffered a heavy toll. The sale punished Bear shareholders severely, valuing Bear at just two dollars a share, down from sixty dollars a few days before, while thousands of Bear employees are likely to lose their jobs. That’s about as harsh as a bailout gets.
More to the point, the threat of moral hazard in this case was simply less dire than the threat of financial contagion. The Fed could have done what it did in February, 1933, when it stood quietly by while Detroit Bankers Corp. and the Guardian Detroit Union Group, Detroit’s two largest banks, foundered after a series of bad loans. But the failure of those two banks quickly led to bank runs in neighboring states—Cleveland’s two biggest banks failed soon after—and eventually to a national banking panic. Bear Stearns’s collapse, similarly, could easily have provoked market chaos. Bear wasn’t among the largest Wall Street banks, but it was a major clearinghouse for stock trades and played a central role in hundreds of billions of dollars of credit deals. If not too big, it was too important to fail.
The Bear deal does mark a major policy shift, since the Fed has now implicitly admitted that it will catch investment banks when they fall. But that shift really just ratifies the inevitable, given the nature of credit in today’s world. Most money that’s borrowed these days no longer comes from commercial banks, which are responsible for less than thirty per cent of all lending. Instead, in one form or another, the loans are packaged and sold as securities. And since investment banks do much of the selling and buying of those securities, they play an ever bigger role in financial markets. Two decades ago, the Fed could afford to let a firm like Drexel Burnham Lambert (which, admittedly, was dealing with criminal charges in addition to its economic woes) go under without worrying too much about the ripple effects. It would demand very steady nerves to do the same thing today.
You might, then, see the Fed’s willingness to help investment banks as evidence of their indispensability. But what it really underscores is how badly Wall Street has managed its business in recent years..
Now that the Fed has stepped in, it’s possible that things will go back to normal. But let’s hope they don’t get too normal: one of the biggest problems in the market in the past decade has been that lenders, clients, and even ordinary small investors have put far too much faith in the magical abilities of Wall Street firms, and have failed to give their promises and performance proper scrutiny. Markets require trust to work well, but when trust is blind they are almost guaranteed to go haywire. We don’t want the paralytic level of skepticism that has reigned in the marketplace in recent months to continue, but we don’t want a return to the way things were, either. It’s a good thing that Bear Stearns was saved. But it’s also a good thing that it nearly died. ♦

Animals: They're a good source of protein. The cowboy's slaves. Furry, stupid people. By whatever name you choose to call them, there's no doubting that animals are both funny and delicious.
But what have they ever accomplished on their own? Nothing! If it weren't for us humans dressing them up in funny hats and putting them on greeting cards, there wouldn't be a single gainfully employed animal.
Fortunately, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" might be the wake-up call our cuddly companions need to start cleaning their own litter boxes, if not take over the world. But if ape-ageddon isn't the right route for your pet, here are some other examples of impressive animals that might light a fire under their furry butts.
9. Scooby-Doo in 'Scooby-Doo' (2002)
Accomplishment: Sort of talking and sort of standing
What's most impressive about this canine sleuth aren't his questionable powers of deduction, so much as the fact that he convinced the rest of the Mystery Inc. gang to let him join their all-human team. Granted, they drive around in a psychedelic van hallucinating about "supernatural" fiends, so perhaps admitting a dog into their company wasn't such a stretch. Still, Scooby-Doo must be recognized for paving the way for... any future dog that wants to solve mysteries.
8. Jack the Chimp in 'MVP: Most Valuable Primate' (2000)
Accomplishment: Not biting off anyone's faces
Most of us have, at one time or another, pondered if a chimp could -- nay, should -- play professional hockey. The answer to both questions is apparently a resounding "yes!" This straight-to-video franchise taught us that, if the rule book doesn't explicitly spell out that only humans can play a sport, than it's time to start throwing chimps onto an ice rink. In future films, Jack tackled skateboarding and snowboarding. But, eventually, the producers ran out of things they could strap the chimp onto without drowning him.
7. Hooch in 'Turner & Hooch' (1989)
Accomplishment: Costarring with Tom Hanks
One's neat, one's sloppy. One's awkward, one's got a way with the ladies. But if you think this buddy cop team sounds tired and familiar, hold on to your hats -- because in "Turner and Hooch," one of these cops is played by Tom Hanks and the other is... wait for it... a dog. A dog investigating a murder?! Never saw that coming, didja? Oh, you did? You say "K-9" with Jim Belushi came out earlier that year and had the exact same plot? Well, costarring with Tom Hanks is still pretty impressive.
6. Underdog in 'Underdog' (2007)
Accomplishment: Not using his superpowers to get revenge on humans
When mild-mannered beagle Shoeshine is injected with a mad scientist's secret formula, he gains the power to fly and even talk. He becomes Underdog and straps on a cape. But what's so impressive about this super pooch is that, once his powers have been unleashed, he chooses to protect his human masters from evil, rather than turning them into collar-wearing slaves and forcing them to go to the toilet on city sidewalks. After all, we sort of deserve that, don't we?
5. Babe the Pig in 'Babe' (1995)
Accomplishment: Herding sheep, not getting eaten
After being won at a fair by Farmer Hoggett, Babe is taken to a crazy farm where the duck crows like a rooster and rats sings like Elvis. But while this farm may be progressive, it's not kosher, and Babe's in danger of biting the big apple on the Christmas dinner table if he doesn't think fast. Adapting to a changing job market, Babe takes on a new job skill and wins his master first prize at a sheepherding contest -- to which the closed-off farmer could only muster a condescending "That'll do, pig. That'll do." A lovely sentiment. Now, how about a binding contract not to eat the pig?
4. Chance, Sassy and Shadow in 'Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey' (1993)
Accomplishment: Going home
"Go home, boy! Go home!" Many dogs and cats, when given this simple instruction, will run into the woods to chase squirrels or eat rancid garbage. But these family pets, incorrectly assuming they've been abandoned when left with their family's friends for the weekend, take the most unnecessary adventure of a lifetime. After fighting a mountain lion and a porcupine and escaping from an animal shelter that was trying to help them, these confused friends eventually make it home... where they would have gotten anyway if they'd just chilled and waited for someone to come get them.
3. Buddy in 'Air Bud' (1997)
Accomplishment: Dribbling... with a ball
They say that every dog has his day. Like most sayings, this one is a lie: Dogs are notorious layabouts who accomplish little in life. But "Air Bud" tells the story of a canine who actually earns his keep for a change, inspiring his shy teen owner to man up by making basket after basket with the ol' "hit the ball in with your face" shot. Quick aside: "Air Bud"? How is it that this movie wasn't called "Charles Bark-ley"?
2. The Penguins in 'March of the Penguins' (2005)
Accomplishment: Marching in tuxedos
Remember that camp game where you have to race while holding an egg in a spoon and, if you drop the egg, you automatically lose? It turns out that this game was stolen from one that emperor penguins play every day in Antarctica. What makes their version so much more impressive is that they do it in -80ºF degree weather, for 60 miles, in tuxedos. The documentary never explains why they play this game as opposed to, say, sledding. But the reason's not important -- their commitment to extreme sports is the real story here.
1. Charlotte the Spider in 'Charlotte's Web' (2006)
Accomplishment: Writing the first web blog
Talk about spinning propaganda! When Wilbur the pig is about to be killed for Christmas dinner on the Arable farm, a Machiavellian spider named Charlotte buries the lede with a new story. Writing words like "some pig" and "radiant" above Wilbur in her web, this Madison Avenue-bound arachnid hatches her plan to make Wilbur so famous that the farmer can't kill him. And it works. Charlotte puts the PR in pork, and a tear in all our eyes.

Mark Wahlberg knows a thing or two about making hit movies, something author John Grisham could use a refresher course in.
Variety reports that the "Contraband" star is in talks to produce and give a much-needed facelift to the big screen adaptations of Grisham's work with a possible role as star and producer of the prolific author's 1997 novel "The Partner."
The legal thriller tells the story of Patrick Lanigan, a cuckolded Mississippi lawyer who fakes his own death in order to steal millions from his own firm.
While Grisham had a number of his bestselling novels made into box office hits in the '90s, including "The Pelican Brief," "A Time to Kill" and "The Rainmaker," the more recent adaptations of his work have been flops. 2003's "Runaway Jury" was a critical hit, despite making meager profits at the box office, while the most recent movie based on his writing, 2004's "Christmas With the Kranks," was panned by critics.
Wahlberg may be able to give the fledgling franchise just the boost it needs, especially with the right help. It's rumored that the star may be bringing along his partner, Stephen Levinson, to produce, although the film still lacks a screenwriter. John Lee Hancock, who adapted Michael Lewis' "The Blind Side," was initially attached to write and direct, but has since dropped out.
Wahlberg can be seen next in Seth MacFarlane's comedy "Ted," scheduled for release this summer. For now, he's just thirsty (check out the gallery below and see what we mean).

Remember the knee surgery that Kansas City Chiefs receiver Steve Breaston was thinking about having?
Turns out that Breaston was dealing with knee inflammation and won't need to go under the knife. A source close to Breaston says he was advised he "didn't need it. He's fine."
The free-agent wideout had been considering undergoing Regenokine treatment in Germany, a procedure that proved successful for such athletes as Alex Rodriguez.Breaston will test the free-agent market and already has met with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns. NFL.com's Aditi Kinkhabwala reported that he is expected to meet with additional teams in the coming weeks.

It wasn't an easy winter in the Schwartz household, where young Christian Schwartz gave his father, Jim, the silent treatment after the Detroit Lions sputtered to 4-12 last season.
"Nobody is happy," Coach Schwartz told MLive.com's Anwar S. Richardson at this week's NFL Annual Meeting in Phoenix. "My kids are just starting to talk to me again. My son (has) a lot of Lions posters and sweatshirts and hats. They weren't happy with 4-12, either. Believe me, nobody was, and we all want to get that taste out of our mouth."
Schwartz confirmed he wasn't telling tales about Christian, who was genuinely fumed.
"That wasn't a joke. He was mad," Schwartz said. "If you see his room, he's got Lions helmets and jerseys. It's not because he's my son. It's because he's a big Lions fan. If I worked down at the Rogue (a local automotive plant), he'd still have all that same stuff. He's a fan ... I imagine that you walk into the Rogue on Monday morning after a Lions loss, nobody is in a good mood. Nobody is in a good mood over in Allen Park, either."
Schwartz and the Lions were a striking disappointment in 2012 after finishing 10-6 and making the playoffs in 2011. More focus is needed this time around to endure the rugged NFC North ... and keep everyone on speaking terms inside the Schwartz house.
