Demonizing Netanyahu's pragmatism
As Scott wrote this morning, Benjamin Netanyahu returned today to the prime ministership of Israel. Netanyahu worked feverishly to put together a broad coalition, and in the end was able to bring in the left-wing Labor party. These efforts have not stopped Israel's Western enemies and other liberals from attempting to cast Netanyahu in the role of a right-wing, anti-peace zealot. In most MSM precincts you can't read about the »
NY 20: Down to the Wire
With 71 percent of precincts reporting, Republican Jim Tedisco is leading Democrat Scott Murphy by around 1,000 votes, less than a 1 percent margin. As usual, the Democrat is a multimillionaire, but even though enormous amounts of money have spent, turnout is relatively low. UPDATE: WIth 92 percent of the precincts in, Murphy has taken what looks like a pretty solid lead, 51-49 percent, 1,600 votes. WOW: With 100 percent »
Decision day in Eastern New York
Voters in New York's 20th congressional district will select their new representative today. The seat in question was held by Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand (the fake gun-rights supporter, or is it the fake gun control supporter?) until Gillibrand was selected to fill Hillary Clinton's Senate spot. The two contenders are Democrat Scott Murphy and Republican Jim Tedisco. Much attention has been paid to this race, which is seen as an early »
Miss Universe Displays Better Judgment than President Obama
We covered the 2008 Miss Universe pageant here, here, here and here. If that seems excessive, all I can say is, follow the links. Miss Venezuela, Dayana Mendoza, won the contest. As the last-linked post above noted, Ms. Mendoza's relations with Hugo Chavez were apparently somewhat frosty, and he did not congratulate her on her victory. Now Miss Mendoza, who is enjoying her year as Miss Universe, has surfaced once »
A Lesson In American History
You can't make this stuff up. From today's New York Times Corrections section: Because of editing errors, an article on Monday about questions likely to be raised in the trial of Anthony Marshall, the son of Brooke Astor, and one of her lawyers on charges of conspiracy and scheming to defraud in connection with her estate misidentified her father-in-law and referred imprecisely to the source of his fortune. He was »
Privacy? Good Idea!
The London Times, anticipating Barack Obama's visit to Europe, writes: The White House was rocked yesterday by claims that the daughter of Joe Biden, the Vice-President, was shown on video snorting cocaine. The video purports to show Ashley Biden, 27, snorting lines of white powder at a house party in her home state of Delaware. It surfaced days after Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, declared that the United »
"Green Jobs"–Another Hoax
One of the defining features of the Obama administration so far is its almost pathological inability to make hard choices–or even to acknowledge that hard choices need to be made. A prime example is the administration's insistence that making energy more expensive will somehow benefit our economy. This proposition is so foolish as to be almost self-refuting: in my view, anyone who doesn't understand that you can't create wealth by »
Confidence in GWOT Falters
Hillary Clinton confirmed a day or two ago that the Obama administration will no longer refer to the "war on terror." That isn't necessarily a bad thing; most conservatives were never very happy with that formula (although I, for one, wasn't able to come up with a better one). The problem is that this looks like one more instance of the Obama administration putting too much emphasis on words rather »
Bibi's back
Winston Churchill's return to the Admiralty in 1939 prompted the signal to go out to the British fleet: "Winston's back." Today Benjamin Netanyahu returns to the prime ministership of Israel. While President Obama and much of the rest of the West appear to be sleepwalking toward Iran, Netanyahu views Iran with great urgency as an existential threat to Israel. In his November 2006 interview with Glenn Beck (below), the echoes »
How Catholic is Notre Dame?
The University of Notre Dame has invited President Obama to speak at its commencement ceremonies. Obama has accepted the invitation. At the ceremonies, as is the custom, Notre Dame will award him an honorary degree. Notre Dame, of course, is a Catholic institution. The Catholic Church has always condemned abortion as a grave evil. President Obama, by contrast, believes that woman should be able to have abortions on demand. So »
Obama's quota king
The Obama administration continues to populate top positions at the Justice Department with left-wing lawyers. In the latest instance, it has nominated Tom Perez to head the Civil Rights Division. Perez was selected after President Obama's original choice, Thomas Saenz, ran into fierce opposition due to his efforts on behalf of illegal aliens. However, as Linda Chavez shows, Perez is also a radical choice, given his advocacy for racial preferences »
Trust us, folks, he's not as craven as he seems
In this editorial, the Washington Post assures its readers that, in seeking to "reset" U.S. relations with Russia, President Obama is not simply going to capitulate across-the-board to Russian demands. At one level, it's remarkable that the Post would see the need to write such an editorial. But that doesn't mean the Post is wrong to perceive that need. The Post cites Obama's statement that even as the U.S. seeks »
A letter to the editor of the Times
To the editor: Freeman Dyson joins a long list of science "heretics" — Copernicus and Galileo are two — who proved to be right against a false consensus of scientific belief. While Einstein and Bohr had headline grabbing civilized discussions, often described as debates, on Bohr's theory of quantum mechanics, any attempt in today's world to conduct a learned discussion of global warming, or cooling, or CO2 is met with »
Opportunism on both sides of the Atlantic
Ted Bromund and Daniella Markheim of the Heritage Foundation debunk the EU narrative regarding the current global financial crisis. According to that narrative, the crisis is the fault of the United States, not Europe. This premise provides the rationale for resisting President Obama's call on European nations to enact aggressive stimulus programs. Why should they go further into debt to revive the economy of the nation that caused the crisis, »
Uncle Sam the Car Repair Man
The United States may have taken a major step toward corporatism today–an economic philosophy more reminiscent of Italy in the 1930s than of American free enterprise (although, to be fair, there were significant corporatist elements in Roosevelt's New Deal, too). I'm not sure whether Barack Obama ever ran a lemonade stand as a child, but if he did, it would be his most salient business experience. Nevertheless, in his apparently »
The country's in the very best of hands
Glenn Reynolds has adopted the refrain commenting on Obama administration missteps: "The country's in the very best of hands…." It comes from the lyrics Johnny Mercer wrote for the 1956 Broadway musical "Li'l Abner." (Gene de Paul wrote the music.) The show was successful on Broadway, but the show's songs failed to produce a single hit and the show itself has not had much of an afterlife. In his biography »

Rays stay atop Wild Card with win in 18th
DeJesus delivers walk-off single to end longest game in club history
By Sam Strong / 9/21/2013 4:18 AM ET
ST. PETERSBURG -- The longest game in Rays and Orioles history refused to end as Friday night stretched into Saturday morning at Tropicana Field.
Eventually, six hours, 54 minutes, 18 innings, 26 hits, an MLB-record 21 pitchers and 593 pitches later, Tampa Bay walked off with a 5-4 win that put the Rays in the driver's seat of the American League Wild Card race.
David DeJesus' single to right field in the bottom of the 18th inning Saturday morning put an end to the marathon at 2:05 a.m. ET.
DeJesus' helmet went flying -- eventually connecting with Kelly Johnson's back -- but somehow, it didn't hurt. DeJesus' teammates, all but three of whom appeared in the game, had no problem finding enough energy to mob him.
They tried rally caps in the 17th to no avail. Masks came out in the 18th, with guest appearances by Luke Scott disguised as Chewbacca and Jamey Wright as Gene Simmons. Maracas, James Loney's saxophone and the buffet spread from the clubhouse were on their way if a 19th inning was in store.
"We pulled out all the characters," said DeJesus, who was 4-for-8. "We had a lot of stuff going on, but to pull out a win in this type of game, atmosphere, length, it's a great win for us. Hopefully we can keep the momentum going later on today."
It's one thing to win an 18-inning game in April. It's another to do it in the heat of a playoff push. The Red Sox had clinched the AL East hours earlier and the Indians' seven-inning win over the Astros had them breathing down the Rays' necks. The Indians moved into the second Wild Card position, a half-game behind the Rays.
"That is the hunt for October," catcher Chris Gimenez said. "That's everything you play 162 games for. That win means a lot for us. I've never been a part of a game that long. To win it the way we did, I hope we can run with it. It couldn't have happened at a better time. It's a huge boost for us."
DeJesus' hit ended a drought of 10 scoreless innings and was set up by Desmond Jennings' one-out double in the 18th. Jennings was originally a late scratch from the lineup because of neck stiffness.
He loosened up in time to enter as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning and still went 2-for-4.
"That was fun, man," Jennings said. "To be on the winning side of a game like that is awesome. For two teams to go out and play as hard as we did for two hours, that's probably the best win of the year for us."
Tampa Bay's ace David Price left after five innings, and manager Joe Maddon was running out of options in the bullpen. He turned to Jeremy Hellickson, who was scheduled to start Sunday, in the last 2 1/3 innings of relief.
Hellickson picked up the win and allowed just one hit.
"That was the craziest seven hours of my life," Hellickson said. "I would have went as long as possible. I'll throw as many pitches as I needed to before a position player went out there."
Baltimore's bullpen was also impressive, as nine pitchers followed starter Jason Hammel and allowed just eight hits. It wasn't quite enough for the Orioles, however, who now find themselves 2 1/2 games behind the Indians.
"It was impressive," O's manager Buck Showalter said. "Two teams wanting something very badly and a small margin, and that's why those games go on like that."
Maddon often references the need for his club to create an "organic moment" in order to spark a run into October.
They thought they had it Wednesday night when Jennings hit a walk-off single in the 12th inning against the Rangers. It didn't carry over, though, as the Rangers hung a six-run loss on them Thursday.
This one, all 18 innings of it, might be different.
"There is so much energy at stake regarding winning," Maddon said. "You have to find energy after you lose that game. It's an incredible boost. [Saturday] will tell the tale."
Baltimore and Tampa Bay will meet again for a day game just over 11 hours after DeJesus' hit landed softly in right field.

From Publishers Weekly:In my opinion Massachusetts doesn't produce many star basketball players, but Herren definitely was one in high school and he became even more famous by being featured in the critically acclaimed basketball book "Fall River Dreams" (also by Bill Reynolds). Herren would also become infamous for his drug issues, but made for a nice redemption story when he played for the Celtics in the 1990's (Why TB hasn't done a WTHHT? on him no one knows. You're slipping TB!). Unfortunately it wasn't all sunshine after that. Look out for this book when it hits shelves on May 10th. JR 3/30/2011 04:32:00 PM Tweet Edit
In this blunt, self-deprecating memoir, Herren tells his story as one of the greatest high school athletes to come out of southern New England. Fall River, Mass., has a storied basketball tradition, and Herren's achievements on the court made him a local hero as well as bringing him to the attention of national recruiters and Sports Illustrated. Overwhelmed by expectations, Herren avoided school and abused drugs and alcohol. Although Herren managed to make it to the NBA, his life continued to spin out of control until he OD'd in his car and was found unconscious with a bag of heroin on the seat beside him. Herren offers explanations for his downfall but doesn't make excuses. Neither does he glorify the partying and excess that made his life a blur. What he does achieve is something more valuable: giving a stark portrayal of the surreal existence led by young sports stars in a world of rapacious agents, vicious rivals, oblivious fans, and educational institutions that enable their "student" athletes to get away with almost anything. In the end, this is a sobering, cautionary tale for star-athletes-to-be.

Just like Zaid Abdul Aziz, I'm waiting to buy the autobiography before recapping his illustrious career.
JR says:
Nice save TB. Were you able to resell Aziz's book?
Jenda says:
Sounds a little like Jim Carroll's Basketball Diaries. He never got out of high school though.
tb727 says:
I have not attempted yet to resell Aziz's book. I may be stuck with it unless someone else wants to read it.
Maybe in addition to t-shirts we can also sell books on the site lol?
Beantown says:
I'm not going to lie, normally I would pass on a book like this because it's just someone who's broke and trying to make a buck. However, in this case I think it might be an interesting read especially since he's a Massachusetts guy. I was at the And1 tour about 5 years ago and he was the coach of the Boston team--not the And1 team but the team they were playing.

A New Mexico woman is facing charges after authorities say she tried to mail marijuana taped to a picture of a transformer to an inmate.
33-year-old Melissa "Fierce" Martinez was recently arrested and faces a number of charges, including conspiracy to bring contraband into a jail.
According to court documents, the Las Vegas resident was linked to the marijuana-laced letter mailed to San Miguel County Detention Center inmate Apolinario Arturo Gonzales through recorded jail conversations.
Police say that in the envelope seized by jail staff had suspected marijuana taped to a picture of a transformer.
It was unclear if Martinez had an attorney.

We can no more prevent all terrorist attacks than we can stop hurricanes or prevent all drunken-driving accidents. Law enforcement works together to stop potential attacks and to catch and successfully prosecute perpetrators.
All levels of government and their public and private partners have taken steps to reduce the probability of attack, to improve response so as to lessen harm to people or property, and to more effectively conduct multi-agency criminal investigations.
I'm one of many who have worked since before 9/11 to help public and private institutions, communities, and governments plan for, test against, and improve their ability to accomplish those goals. From what I've seen in Boston, the area's volunteers, medical and disaster teams, and law enforcement, at all levels, have followed response plans in an exemplary manner.
The quality of the Joint Terrorism Task Force plan and its implementation reduced injuries, saved lives, and increased the probability that those who planned to do Boston harm would be captured and eventually convicted. Boston should be proud.
The writer was the North Carolina terrorism and bioterrorism preparedness and response planner.

here we goes again, there is no evidence to back that up other than Zoro has swords which is effective against Luffy's rubber...
The only time they fought it's was a stalemate and Luffy arguabaly had a slight advantage...
I'm gonna stop right here though, like Kuma said here comes the shit storm and I'm walking right into it...

The supernova title isn't exactly indicative of the person's fighting caliber. Any pirate can obtain that designation if they have a bounty of 100 million or more. And we've known for a long while now that bounty doesn't accurately reflect strength.

I know Luffy(Supernova) has not been pushed to his limits but Sanji is another story. But both of them got to show off there improvements on better caliber people or in really big situations (Like the arch falling on fisherman Island). Law(Supernova) cuts open a whole mountain and takes Vergo down. All Zoro(Supernova) gets to do is clear rocks from a track, open wholes in metal walls, be a baby sitter, and fight with Monet. Ya go Zoro, you get the shit jobs! Supernova is still a title and if you put most of these bounties against each other I think they would be consistent with there rankings showing higher bounties stronger then lower bounties.

I said most not all. Second Zoro's bounty has not changed since the two year time skip, everyone you just named has changed over the years because they been active. The only ones who will give Zoro a hard time would be Kidd and X Drake. Zoro's bounty will change once Oda give him a chance to be active. For now the training Mihawk gave Zoro will be used for janitorial duties and baby sitting weaker members of the crew.

Luffy can use conqueror's haki. There's no argument for this because of that. The boy can defeat most enemies without even having to lift a finger now.
And while I agree all the members of the Strawhats are due for a bounty increase to reflect their power increase, that certainly doesn't put Zoro above Luffy.

That is why I said most not all. If I were to say all then you would be right about me making Zoro the exception. Look at the case with Bellmay and Luffy. The pirates in the bar laughed at luffy, but once they saw the 100,000,000 bounty they freaked. Thats how pirates treat each other. Another case Chapter 644 page 8 Monet talks about the Straw hats and there bounty. She says "there strength may be above this". I look at it that way because that how pirates treat one another. They look at the bounty to gauge the strength and get some sense of who they are dealing with if they have nothing to go on. Can some bounties be under or over estimate the individual? Yes. But over all the higher you go in most cases the stronger they are.

I like Zoro, but I don't know if I consider myself a fan. I like to gauge people for there strength and when I am convinced at where the information leads I stick with my answer till there is evidence supporting or against my conclusion.
But I am a Fan of: X drake, Admirals, Coby, Hina, Smoker, Croc, Enel, Shiliew, Garp, Ace, and Robin.

Well I'm a Sanji fan, so all I'm going to say is that I believe Sanji to be underrated mainly because swords are cool and Oda seems to like having Sanji act as the clown of the crew these days. But Sanji has a history of carrying the crew when they need saving, so I'm pretty sure we will continue to see him do that.

If just funny that on hand grey_1960 is using bounty as his main argument and when it was rebuffed, he add that there are exceptions to the bounty argument.
Well, what makes Zoro an exception to the rule and Sanji can't be the exception himself.
Less not forget, all Supernova is was a term referred to rookies 100million+ bounty. Caribou and Coribou would have being referred as one if he was there 2 years ago.
Heck even right now both of their bounties is higher than Zoro's and Caribou's bounties is even higher than the updated Killer's bounty....
And we've seen that at this point even Franky can treat Caribou like he's just a pest..
The exceptions are piling up friend...
I love Zoro, but there is really no argument that can put him above Luffy right now, comparable? sure, equal? maybe, above? no.
I mean attribute-wise, Zoro's one advantage would be his strength and ability to with stand attack, yet he himself notd various time that Luffy to be a freak in both attributes.
Not to mention so far we've see Luffy pushed 2 buildings apart to free himself without using Gear 3rd, yet Zoro still needs his swords to get out of a chimney...

There is no question. There is no way anyone from Luffy's crew could beat him in fight. With Zoro it could take long time, but eventually Luffy would always win. I think this has been suggested during manga many times.
And as described above, luffy is not just devil fruit user, he is also insanely strong. He can carry giant ball of solid gold and that happened long time ago. He is also insanely fast and has insanely good reflexes.

Can't really compare Luffy and Zoro right now especially after the time skip we haven't seen any real battle in which we could actually rate them. But considering that Luffy is the main character I doubt Zoro is stronger than him. And we all know that a person's bounty has no correlation to how strong a person in One Piece. Regarding Sanji I don't think just because he injured his leg against Vergo doesn't necessarily mean he would have lost. I'm thinking he might have a new leg ability similar to and more powerful than "Diable Jambe" he does it a lot more often now. If it were his most powerful attack I think he would use it a lot less like he did before when it was.

Alright, here's another off-topic discussion I'd like to get more people's opinions on. Pre-time-skip, how strong were Garp and Sengoku in comparison to the admirals? Were they noticeably weaker, slightly weaker, on par, slightly stronger, or noticeably stronger than the admirals? I'll post my thoughts later on.

Passaggio da grub proprietario a grub2 per gestire il boot di un sistema x86
- Nome: Peter Jones
Descrizione dettagliata
Al momento Fedora usa sostanzialmente un fork di GRUB 0.9x, per varie ragioni storiche. Sarebbe bello potersi allineare con la versione di sviluppo, anche se si tratta di un progetto interamente nuovo.
GRUB2 è alla versione 1.90 (equivalente alla r.c. 3). La wiki del progetto può essere trovata su http://grub.enbug.org/ (o http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/.)
Vantaggi per Fedora
Grub (proprietario) non è più supportato e le patches non vengono accettate. GRUB2 ha già raggiunto una release stabile (14 maggio 2011 GRUB 1.99), che Grub non ha mai conquistato.
What Currently Works
- MBR Bios booting as chainloaded from grub1 works
- Booting from the MBR works
- Graphics mode works
- You have to have freetype2-devel installed and build with --enable-mkfont
- Also had to grab the unifont from http://unifoundry.com/unifont.html
- Simple hacked up module to load a background image is okay. Could certainly be made better
- Creating /usr/local/etc/defaults/grub (would be /etc, but prefix=/usr/local) allowed me to set the following
- default timeout, default distro name, default to graphics mode
- some of this is lame and should get auto-detected (eg, parse /etc/system-release)
Things that still have to be tested/worked on
- EFI mode
- passwords -- Debian and Ubuntu are working on this upstream as of 8 July
- hidden menu support that we use for flicker-less boot
- serial terminal support (with the timeouts)
- bootonce
- Always adding single user entry is not so good -- set GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY in /etc/default/grub
- Chainloading various versions of Windows
- Auto-detection of Windows and adding it to the config file
- Can we ship the unifont ?
- support for multiple initrds
- Also, as I had it "built", the font wasn't quite right
- Ensuring all the other features we have and care about are present (if someone wants to make a list of these, it would be helpful)
- Documentation, documentation, documentation...
External things that would need work
- anaconda needs to be able to create the new file. Or at least run grub-mkconf
- grubby to update. Or phase out for grub-updconf?
How To Test
It is very easy to test from Grub Legacy type environment, but we will also need to test from Anaconda/Firstinstall.
From an Installed System with Grub Legacy
This was adapted from http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Grub2
The following will automatically generate a GRUB2 configuration file including kernels images within your /boot folder, using the auto configuration scripts in /etc/grub.d, the -o specifices an output file, here the default, /boot/grub2/grub.cfg:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Testing With Chain Loading
GRUB2 includes a boot image that's loadable from GRUB Legacy, so you can try it out without wiping out your existing, working MBR. To set up GRUB2 without actually writing to the MBR, run
grub2-install --grub-setup=/bin/true /dev/sda
Writing to the MBR
If that works, you can go on testing to writing to your MBR. Same steps as above, but don't tell grub to run the dummy setup program /bin/true
grub2-install /dev/sda
Congratulations! You've reached the point of no return! If you can't boot now you will need to run a rescue CD
From a DVD with Anaconda
TBD as things get fleshed out more
Test matrix here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pjones/Grub2TestMatrix
User Experience
Ultimately, the main thing a user could change is the different config file (grub.cfg vs grub.conf) and the different syntax in the config file. During the normal boot process, the idea should be that it's not that noticeable
We'll have to be sure to update anaconda for the new config file format and also deal with things like grubby (which updates boot loader configs)
Contingency Plan
Keep using GRUB legacy
- The only docs right now are at the upstream site, but they're slim at best.
Release Notes
Fedora switched from grub legacy to grub2 in Fedora 16. Grub 2 allows better configuration options, better support for non x86 architectures, scripting and localization support. Grub 2 has new configuration format and and files. Please consult the grub manual for more information.

A few days ago, Karen Close talked to a United Illuminating employee babysitting some downed wires who told her she could expect power back in her Ansonia home by Friday.
So Close bought dry ice for her refrigerator and hunkered down for what she thought would be just a few days. "But now you know it's Friday and they haven't even touched this area," she said.

Looking at Mike's pictures from the Novell Brainshare thingy, I am left wondering at the men shown in white lab coats. There appear not to be any hazardous or staining chemicals about, you aren't even going to spill food or drink on yourself there, so why the lab coats?
Is it just so they can flap around in a pretentiously breezy manner

Matt Bach, founder of IBeBach Fishing, is a dedicated angler from Wheeling, IL with over 20 years experience on the waters. There are Fishermen. There are Conversationalists. Rarely do you see a Fisherman who is Conversationalists. Consider this what separates Matt from the majority of the pack.
Matt's story of becoming an angler revolved around trial and error. Unlike most fisherman, the majority of his family did not share his interest. He was forced to learn everything he ever learned on his own, starting with simple worm and bobber. The "Blue Gill Days" lasted much longer than he had hoped, but he pushed on. This time in his life taught him patience, dedication, and willingness to learn and succeed. After many failures, things started to quickly turnaround. He spent hours on end learning how to locate and catch Channel Catfish in the Des Plaines River. He soon mastered that, but the burning itch to be able to catch Game Fish was at a peak.
Matt's life was soon about to change, and he had no idea. On a long day of Catfishing the Des Plaines River, he was reeling in his stink bait line fast out of frustration, and was ready to head home. However, two feet off the shore, a major explosion. He had no idea what to think;The fight was on. Shortly after, Matt had reeled in his first ever Northern Pike out of the Des Plaines that hit his lure going 20mph. He had always heard rumors of the Pike in the Des Plaines, but there was never any proof. Now, that proof laid in his own hands.
The next season was dedicated to Northern Pike fishing, and it was a surprisingly quick learning process. He became so confident, he started to voyage to other waters, and using the lessons learned, he was soon landing Largemouth Bass regularly. This is what changed it all. Matt considered this the "trifecta" and now had the confidence to change up location, and have the ability to switch species.
A fishing blog at www.ibebach.com was started. Family and Friends were now able to follow Matt on the water. The passion continued. The skills developed. More Species were caught and even Salt Water skills were developed. From shoreline fishing, to trolling...Matt knows how to locate the fish. Years later, this is where he is. From Pre-Spawn to Fall, Matt is on the water. In the summer of 2012, he went on his first fly-in fishing trip to Northern Ontario where him and his cousin boated just about 200 Northern Pike in 7 days, with 20+ of them over 32" in length. When not on the water, he is always thinking about the next way to bring the sport and anglers to the next level.
In December of 2012, Matt was referred to Fish Candy Bait Company as a ProStaff Member. The partnership between the two brands has potential for amazing things to come. This is when he decided to take his online blog to the next level, and beginning turning IBeBach fishing into a user-interactive website.
"IBeBach Fishing is a non-profit Social Networking Website, launching to the public on February 1st of 2013, for Anglers across the globe.

When you look at the record of the 2011-12 Harvard men's hockey team, it appears to be a misprint, but it's not. The 13-10-11 campaign set an NCAA record for ties in a season.
In addition to the 11 overtime games in the regular season, two of the Crimson's matchups against Yale in the ECAC tournament went to OT, the second to double overtime.
Coach Ted Donato, who is entering his ninth season, said it is a matter of putting last season into perspective.
"I think any time you set the record for ties in a season, there's a little bit of confusion as to how you should look at that,'' said Donato, whose team was one victory shy of making the NCAA Tournament. "But I think that ultimately a lot of ties came on the road and those points proved to be important and allowed us to finish third and get home ice and a bye in the first round [of the ECAC tournament]. That was a big steppingstone to be able to go back to the [league] championship game again.''
Many of the Crimson's deadlocks came after rallying to earn the point, and Donato said that was one of many pluses to bring into this season.
"Obviously, having the No. 1 power play in the country was a big positive,'' said Donato, whose team converted 27 percent of its chances. "Having two first-team All-Americans [Alex Killorn and Danny Biega] was a big positive. So there were things we could look at as positives. We want to use how we finished as a springboard to make another step forward this year as a team.''
On paper, Harvard appeared to be treading water early in the season, going 4-4-4 in its first 12 games.
"We played better hockey than our record indicated,'' said Donato, whose team also was beset by early injuries. "It is difficult going into a season with a combined one game of experience in the net. So that is always the X factor. You can look and try to do things from a strategic standpoint. Sometimes the goaltender is a little bit of its own entity. But I think later on in the season, we found ways to win games. It was very enjoyable in the sense that it was a great group of kids who stuck together, and there was a real chemistry and camaraderie that made it very enjoyable.''
Donato, whose team opens against Bentley Oct. 27, said although there are some question marks, he is excited about this squad.
"The most obvious [loss] is Alex Killorn,'' said Donato. "He was a playmaker for us and helped our power play click. We lost some really solid senior leadership in guys who had good seasons for us. We had a good group of leadership that really kept the ship in order while we suffered through some of the ties early on in the season.''
One of the top newcomers is Jimmy Vesey from North Reading, whose father, Jim, is a former Bruin.
Vesey had 91 points (48 goals) in 45 games with the South Shore Kings last year, and was chosen by Nashville in the third round (No. 66 overall) of the 2012 NHL draft.
"[Vesey] had a huge year,'' said Donato. "We feel he has a chance to come in and have an immediate impact.''
Another rookie is forward Brian Hart, the New England Prep School Player of the Year for Phillips Exeter last year and a Tampa Bay Lightning second-round pick.
'Obviously, having the No. 1 power play in the country was a big positive.'
Two other freshman forwards have significant upsides — Greg Gozzo and Kyle Criscuolo.
"We feel like we have a strong group, and what's nice is we have some guys returning who are coming off good years as well, so it will be a better mix,'' said Donato. "Coming into the last couple of seasons, we didn't have any established, experienced scorers statistics-wise, and this year it's a different dynamic.''
As for players Donato believes will make bigger contributions from a year ago, he expects senior forwards Alex Fallstrom and Marshall Everson to take a step up.
"They had breakout seasons, but we expect them to be impact guys every night,'' said the coach. "Danny Biega really has been outstanding for us. He's helped our power play and was a first team All-American last year. Sometimes the freshmen coming into their sophomore year, historically that's when they make the biggest jump. Guys such as [forward] Colin Blackwell and [defenseman] Patrick McNally, who had excellent years last year, I think there's a whole other level they can reach.''
Although the defense and forwards appear settled, the goaltending situation is not etched in stone.
"It will be interesting,'' said Donato. "Raphael Girard played very well down the stretch last year. Steve Michalek played over 20 games, so we have two guys coming in who have a lot of experience. We brought in another guy — Peter Traber — who will compete for that spot. We're excited and comfortable that we're going to get some excellent goaltending night in and night out.''
When he looks back on last season, Donato said even though he wishes there were more victories, he felt there was reason to feel good about what the Crimson accomplished.
"I was confident last year, kind of throughout,'' he said. "It was an excellent group of guys who stayed focused. We played obviously in a lot of close games. I knew that would ultimately — as much as it was frustrating to go through it — help us later in the year and help us in the playoffs having gone into overtime an inordinate number of times.
"We were comfortable playing in those tight, one-goal games. I think that was helpful to us.''
Harvard lost to Union in the ECAC championship game and Union made it as far as the Frozen Four.
"We wore down a little bit,'' said Donato. "We played Yale in a very tough three-game series. There was a lot of emotion. And Union was a very good team.
"That opportunity to play in the league championship and make a good, strong march deep into the playoffs, I think it's an experience that has whet the appetite of the team as a whole, and I think guys are excited to get back to that point and take it another step.''Nancy Marrapese-Burrell can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tom Felton Talks Malfoy Manor and Draco's Family
Apr 03, 2009
There is a fun quote from actor Tom Felton today, regarding his role as Draco Malfoy and Malfoy Mansion. In the third part of an extensive interview with Feltbeats.com, as an aside during the portion focusing on his general career and music, Tom said the following:
FB: This is a bit of a side question for my personal
interest, but I actually find it very interesting how much you are very
different from Draco'
TF: Well, thank you!
FB: " but yet you relate to him so closely. You really
identify with him. Sometimes you say "my house" when referring to
Malfoy Manor and "my dad" when referring to Lucius. Maybe it is because
you've been involved with Harry Potter for so long.
TF: Oh, sure, sure. Very much so. I won't lie, I feel very proud and
all the rest of it. And, I would never say this in front of Jo Rowling
or anything like that, but I feel like he's my character. Someone told
me, "oh he
would be like this' and I feel like saying, "No."
That's really the charm of the recent directors of Harry Potter, is
that they ask you what Draco would do. They don't tell you. They know
you know him better than they do. So, I guess it is kind of strange.
You're right, I am nothing like him, but yet I feel very close to him.
Occasionally, you know, I'll catch sort of a Draco stare in the mirror,
and I'll think, "Oh yeah, now I remember that."
FB: Oh, that's funny!
TF: It's a bit of a stone-eyed face, and I think, "Oh, that's the one."
You can also hear a rough version of new song from Tom Felton at the link, besides learning more about his new World War II film "Grace and Danger," as well as some new photos of the actor at the recent Empire Awards show in London.
Thanks so much Misha!

- Canadian GP - Qualifying
Brake issues cost Massa third
Felipe Massa is convinced he could have qualified third in Canada were it not for a temperature problem with his brakes in Q3 which left him on the third row behind team-mate Valtteri Bottas.
Williams has looked most likely to challenge Red Bull for the final spot on the podium all weekend and Massa carried that promise through to qualifying, finishing behind the Mercedes pair in Q1 and Q2. But he appeared to lose something in the final session, which saw third to sixth covered by less than a tenth as Sebastian Vettel jumped above the Williams pair, which Massa says was down to losing vital time in Q3 through the first corner.
"Everything was related to the brakes, because I had a very good temperature until the last run in Q2," Massa said. "But then on the last three runs my front brake on the left wheel was too cold, so I was always locking the front wheel through Turn 1 and losing time. So for sure it was not great and we need to understand why and whether its clear on the data … I have no idea if that is just that but for sure it did not help especially on a track that is not easy to warm up the tyres. It doesn't help for the front grip so I was locking the front a lot."
When asked if that cost him third, Massa said: "I think so, yes. But I'm still happy with the car. I think tomorrow is also a different story, it is a very long race, difficult, and we need to make sure we are doing everything right to score good points."
Having failed to capitalise on Williams' pre-season potential so far in 2014, Massa realises Sunday's race presents a golden opportunity.
"I'm confident but after every session it would be nice to have both cars in front of Red Bull. But still, I'm confident the car can be good tomorrow. I think we need to use the opportunity, sometimes you don't have many so you need to. When you can, you pass, on this track it is possible to overtake if you have the opportunity to gain positions."

Navy show Clarkson their own high-speed manoeuvres
Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has spent a day filming onboard HMS Westminster – with the Royal Navy giving him a taste of their ownhigh-speed manoeuvres.
The TV presenter joined the frigate off the coast of Norway as part of a documentary on the Arctic Convoys in which around 3,000 sailors and merchant seamen were killed delivering vital supplies to the Soviet Union between 1941 and 1945.
Jeremy flew on board the Portsmouth-based ship Westminsternear Stavanger by the ship's Lynx helicopter – which he was quite taken withand had it pegged for top spot on the Top Gear 'cool wall'.
On returning to the UK the presenter was quick to post a shoton Twitter – describing sailing up the fjords on a Type 23 as "the best way toarrive in Norway".

(RNN) – While all eyes were on the U.S. mainland during Election Day 2012, the small U.S. territory of Puerto Rico voted in favor of statehood, according to election results.
While the referendum was non-binding, it marks the first time Puerto Rico rejected its current commonwealth status.
The referendum was a two-part question. The first part asked voters if they wanted to change the island's current relationship status with U.S. or leave it as is – a commonwealth. In a 54-46 margin, Puerto Ricans voted to change their current status with the U.S. The second question asked what Puerto Ricans would prefer: statehood, greater autonomy or complete independence. With 93 percent of the votes counted, statehood received 61 percent of the vote. Greater autonomy received 33 percent and independence garnered only 5 percent, according to The Associated Press.
Puerto Rican officials plan to present this information to President Barack Obama and Congress, with the latter making the decision on whether or not to grant Puerto Rico statehood.
While Puerto Ricans are considered U.S. citizens, use U.S. currency and are able to serve in the military, they cannot vote in U.S. presidential elections and have only one non-voting delegate for representation.
Double-digit unemployment and a shrinking population are blamed for Puerto Ricans' change of heart on the statehood issue. Similar referendums in previous years were consistently rejected.
"I think people just came to realize that the current relationship simply does not create the number of jobs that we need," Puerto Rico Secretary of State Kenneth McClintock told CNN.
Despite the referendum's results, critics say it is not an accurate picture of what Puerto Ricans want because roughly one-third of the votes cast left the optional choice question blank. And in a strange twist, Puerto Ricans' new governor-elect is reportedly anti-statehood.
If Puerto Rico is granted statehood, the island would reportedly receive five seats in the House of Representatives and two seats in the Senate. It would also receive roughly an extra $20 billion a year in funds from the federal government, according to The Associate Press. Citizens of the would-be state would also start paying federal income taxes, and companies there would have to start paying corporate taxes.
Puerto Rico has been under American control since Spain conceded it to the U.S. following the Spanish-American War in 1898.

Closson Buck and Mills are two of only 74 in the Commonwealth to receive Individual Creative Artists Fellowships recognizing their artistic excellence in the fields of literature (poetry) and visual arts (painting) respectively.
Closson Buck, who teaches creative writing at Bucknell, also is the editor of West Branch, a biannual journal of contemporary writing published at the university. She is the author of two books of poems, The Acquiescent Villa and Litanies Near Water as well as poems in such journals as Antioch Review, Denver Quarterly, Gettysburg Review, Ohio Review, and Shenandoah. She recently completed a first novel, Drinking with Ptolemy.
Mills, who was appointed director of the Samek Art Gallery in 2001, has curated numerous exhibitions that have traveled throughout the United States, including "Agnes Denes: Projects for Public Spaces" and "Lewis deSoto: Paranirvana (self-portrait)." His work is in the collections of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the University of Tennessee. Mills' work has been featured in group shows in China, Greece, The Netherlands, and throughout the U.S., including the Chicago Cultural Center, the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and Everson Museum of Art. Most recently he had a solo exhibit at the Zolla Lieberman Gallery in Chicago. An exhibition of his paintings, "Empire," is at Millersville University's Ganser Gallery through Feb. 29.
Enriching the Commonwealth
"As creators and entrepreneurs, these artists help Pennsylvania's creative economy flourish, which in turn enriches the Commonwealth's economy and our quality of life," said Council Executive Director Philip Horn.
The goal of the PCA's individual creative artists division is to encourage and enable outstanding Pennsylvania artists of all backgrounds to perform their work and display it to the public. The council annually awards fellowships of $5,000 and $10,000.
Recipients are recommended after a rigorous evaluation process where qualified arts professionals review applicants' work samples and support materials. The review process is anonymous, with the exception of the folk and traditional arts applications.
The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts is a state agency that works to develop and promote the continued excellence, diversity, and vitality of the arts in Pennsylvania, as well as to broaden the availability and appreciation of arts throughout the state.

Hartsville, S.C. – A goal and an assist by Dennis Gonzalez (Orlando, FL) on his senior day led the Coker men's soccer team to a 2-0 victory over the St. Andrews Presbyterian College Knights on Saturday afternoon. The win improves the Cobras record to 6-10-2 on the year, and 2-6-1 in Conference Carolinas play, while St. Andrews falls to 6-9-1 overall, and 2-7 in the conference.
In a hard fought, physical match on both sides of the ball, Daniel Shrizad (Orlando, FL) found the back of the net for the Cobras first goal in the 41st minute with an assist from Gonzalez. Then just two minutes into the second half, Gonzalez scored his own goal with an assist from Mike Crook (Bradenton, FL).
It was a very physical match, with 30 total fouls, four yellow cards and two red cards issued in the match.
Knight's keeper, Nick Stevens had five saves, while Ryan Lewis (Satellite Beach, FL) had five saves as well.
Coker will play their final regular season conference match of the season on Monday, as they host Barton College at 7:00 p.m.

Barcelona full-back Jordi Alba believed either side could have left victorious as his team returned from the Mestalla with a point following a 1-1 draw against Valencia on Sunday.
First-half goals from Ever Banega and Lionel Messi meant the spoils were shared after an entertaining clash, and Alba only had positive words for his former side, although he felt the midweek encounter with Real Madrid had taken its toll on the league leaders.
"It was a very even match and either side could have won because both teams created chances," he told the club's official website. "We were a bit tired because the cup match was very demanding.
"It's always been difficult for Barca to come to Mestalla. Valencia are very strong since [Ernesto] Valverde arrived at the club and I'm sure they will be high up in the table at the end of the season," he added.
The 23-year-old made the switch to the Nou Camp last summer, in a deal worth €14 million, and despite a mixed reception from home fans had only positive words about his time there.
"I really enjoyed my time at Valencia, I can only say good things," he said. "I noticed that a lot of fans still care for me, not all of them, but all opinions are respectable."
Valencia's game plan was clear, as they looked to restrict their opponents of the usual time and space on the ball while looking to hit them on the break.
All was going to plan as Banega opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, drilling the ball past Victor Valdes and beating him at his near post.
But it didn't take long for the visitors to reply as Pedro earned his side a spot kick following a clumsy challenge by Joao Pereira, which saw Messi step up to tuck away his 34th league goal of the season.
The recently-crowned World Player of the Year broke another record by doing so, as he became the first player to score in 12 consecutive La Liga matches.
Both sides had chances to win the game in the second half, with Valdes denying Roberto Soldado with a fantastic double save to stop the hosts snatching the points.
A hard-fought draw for Barcelona saw their lead at the top cut to nine points after Atletico Madrid defeated Real Betis, while Valencia moved up to sixth, just two points off the Champions League places.

We arrived in time and got Clint to sign
Hunter and I showed up early so we could have a decent spot in line for Autograph day.
This was the third home game of the year and our first time at Coors Field this season. There were four players signing and when they dropped the yellow rope everyone took off like a bat out of hell, trying to snag a good spot.
Hunter and I were running ourselves and we managed to get the number 4th and 5th place in Clint Barmes's line. Clint looked nervous while signing, but he was really cool. There were a LOT of people there trying to get autographs.
Barmes signed my Rockies ball, and then he signed Hunter's helmet, thanks Clint !
That makes four autographed baseballs so far this season.
He shook my hand then Hunter and I took off to try and get in line for another player. Unfortunately as we reached the next line we discovered it was way too long. So we went and got a couple of Rockie Dogs and settled in for the game.
The promotional item of the game was a white Rockies hat.
The Rockies lost to the D-Backs in the 10th inning 5-2. I hate losing to the D-Backs at Coors Field.

Asian restaurants have been a staple of American foodservice for many years, but as of late, have started to move beyond many of the original templates that had been forged. There are a tremendous variety of different Asian cultures that offer their own unique cuisine and cooking techniques that require specific pieces of equipment. Things like ovens, ranges, standard smallwares, and worktables will be as necessary as they are in every foodservice operation, however there are some additional pieces that don't necessarily appear in every kitchen. Here is a sampling of some of the equipment and smallwares that may be necessary in some (not all) Asian eateries.
Each foodservice operation is different, and a wealth of cooking methods are used in the kitchens of Asian restaurants. Here are some of the "most common" of the uncommon items found in a variety of Asian kitchens.
The FOH of an Asian eatery will require standard equipment like furniture and glassware, but depending on the variety or restaurant, there will be some other necessities.

July 19, 2011 - ASM Sends Letter to Congress Regarding Medicare Part B Clinical Laboratory Services
The Honorable John Boehner
U.S. House of Representatives
1011 Longworth House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Speaker Boehner:
The American Society for Microbiology (ASM), the largest single life science Society with over 38,000 members, is writing to endorse the recent letter sent by the Clinical Laboratory Coalition (CLC) opposing the proposed implementation of Medicare Part B coinsurance on clinical laboratory services as part of the debt ceiling negotiations.
Laboratory test results inform up to 70 percent of all medical decision-making, demonstrating the significant value in health care delivery. Clinical laboratory tests serve as the foundation for the diagnosis, management, and control of infectious conditions such as those caused by HIV, antibiotic resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Bacillus anthracis, Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), toxigenic and multiply drug resistant E. coli, Salmonella spp., as well as many other serious infectious diseases.
If beneficiary copayment is put in place, laboratories will receive a reduction in their Medicare reimbursement and will then be expected to collect the coinsurance amount from beneficiaries. Collection from beneficiaries will prove impossible in many cases, as laboratories are different than physician practices in that they frequently receive only a Medicare ID number rather than a patient's full contact information; only receive a specimen and may not interact directly with the patient at all; or provide services to a long term care beneficiary at a nursing facility where most residents are no longer responsible for their own healthcare decision making. Further, in long term care and home care settings, collection of coinsurance is further challenged by the fact that most of these beneficiaries are dual-eligible, meaning they are covered by Medicare and Medicaid, and under existing law, laboratories would be prohibited from collecting their coinsurance amounts from Medicaid.
The additional administrative costs to our health care system of collecting the laboratory coinsurance far exceeds any savings that members of Congress or the Administration believe can be achieved and places the burden for this cost largely on America's laboratories. At the very least, an adjustment to the Medicare laboratory fee schedule to sustain this increased cost for doing business would be necessary, further increasing health care spending. Otherwise, this situation would be intolerable, particularly for small laboratory businesses, causing many laboratories to limit or drop their participation in Medicare Part B, and therefore, severely limiting access to care for our most vulnerable seniors.
We respectfully request that you work to protect access to clinical laboratory services for Medicare beneficiaries by opposing the implementation of coinsurance for Medicare Part B clinical laboratory services.
Thank you for considering this request.
David C. Hooper, M.D., President, ASM

A Credit to the College
Five years of focused effort paid off for the School of Business in April, when the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International) accredited the school's bachelor's and master's degree programs in business administration. AACSB International is a nonprofit organization that has accredited 504 schools the world over, from Taiwan to Kuwait to Argentina, and now to Ithaca.
The accreditation, the culmination of a rigorous and comprehensive peer review, was cause for celebration in the school and around the College. "This is a distinction held by only one in six business schools worldwide," noted Susan West Engelkemeyer, dean of the school. "Accreditation is an assurance that our programs effectively manage resources to fulfill a vibrant and relevant mission in order to produce graduates who have achieved learning goals that relate to the school's mission and purpose."
President Peggy R. Williams added, "The faculty and administration of the School of Business are to be applauded." They certainly spent countless hours preparing for accreditation. AACSB International requires that a school "satisfy the expectations of a wide range of quality standards relating to strategic management of resources, interactions of faculty and students in the educational process, and achievement of learning goals in degree programs." These standards are mission-linked. Assessment also includes a close look at technology and practices to be sure that students are being given the most up-to-date tools and information.
A review team from AACSB International visited the school in March. The reviewers reported being "impressed with the dedication and enthusiasm of faculty, staff, and administration." Engelkemeyer notes, "We had 11 strengths and effective practices cited by the peer review team." These included "a noteworthy assessment plan" and" a strong student body."
"Students are noted," the commendation says, "for their volunteerism in enhancing school programs -- staffing the trading room, organizing etiquette dinners, serving as dean's hosts."
As President Williams notes, between the accreditation and IC's plan to build a sustainably designed and operated facility for the school, "this is truly an exciting time to be studying business at Ithaca."

When the leaves start to turn, it may remind you of a number of things.
It certainly signals the arrival of fall for many and it also may get you scrambling for those Halloween decorations.
When it comes to the NFL, however, when those leaves hit the pavement, it's time to start talking about quarterback controversies.
At least two signal-callers woke up Monday with Glenn Frey on their minds because "The Heat is On" in New York and Kansas City.
Mark Sanchez had to know this was coming the minute the Jets traded for the immensely popular Tim Tebow. Only consistent stellar play from the USC product was going to keep the wolves at bay and Sanchez has been anything but stellar early in the season.
A terrific San Francisco 49ers defense put a beatdown on Sanchez and the Jets Sunday en route to a suffocating 34-0 victory. San Francisco held New York to a paltry 145 total yards and nine first downs while forcing four turnovers, including Carlos Rogers' recovery of a Santonio Holmes fumble that gave the Niners a 24-0 lead just seconds into the fourth quarter.
"I apologize for my language because I was going to say we got our butt kicked, but we got our (expletive) kicked," Jets coach Rex Ryan said. "It's unacceptable. As coaches, we need to look at what we're doing. Clearly, we're not going to beat anybody when we play like we did today."
To make matters worse for the Jets, Holmes, the team's only real receiving threat, joined Darrelle Revis in the MASH unit with what could be a significant left foot injury during the Rogers' fumble return.
Sanchez, who was already without rookie wide receiver Stephen Hill and tight end Dustin Keller coming in against the Niners, was forced to rely on pedestrian players like Chaz Schillens, Jeremy Kerley and Patrick Turner.
He finished 13-of-29 for 103 yards with an interception and a dismal passer rating of 39.9, It was also the third straight week he's completed fewer than 50 percent of his passes.
Logically Tebow, a deeply flawed player who has displayed far less accuracy than the embattled Sanchez during his career, would have less of a chance to get this Jets offense moving with those kinds of weapons at his disposal.
But logic is never in play when it comes to backup signal-callers, who are generally the most popular people in town until the locals actually get to see them play.
The real culprit here is New York general manger Mike Tannenbaum, who has given Ryan and Sanchez a deeply flawed roster to work with.
For now, Ryan is still protecting Sanchez.
"I'm not ready to make a quarterback change," the coach said. "We have to get better play at quarterback. We have to get better at a lot of things. You look at yourself first, and there are things that clearly we all need to do. I think Mark's the answer at quarterback. Again, time will tell."
And there's the caveat.
Around New York football, the thought is the Giants are all about winning while the Jets are about the back page of the tabloids, and Tebow would certainly capture the lion's share of attention in the market.
Over in Kansas City, a host of legendary Chiefs were brought back for alumni weekend Sunday as well as the return of the team's Ring of Honor. Hall of Famers like Willie Lanier and Jan Stenerud and team legends like Will Shields and Kevin Ross were subjected to some awful football as the Chiefs fell to AFC West rival San Diego, 37-20.
The game was over by intermission after Matt Cassel went a dismal 10-of-18 for 101 yards with three interceptions for Kansas City, which struggled to secure the ball all game. The Chiefs turned it over six times overall and have lost three of their first four games for the second straight season.
Romeo Crennel decided against benching Cassel for now since neither of his backups, Brady Quinn or Ricky Stanzi, are the kind of high-profile guys who will create a frenzy with the fan base.
"It was bad football," Crennel said minutes after the game. You could see it was bad football but we have a game to be played next week, and we have to stay together and not point fingers."
One more outing like this and fingers will be pointing directly at Quinn, the former first-round pick out of Notre Dame who flamed out in both Cleveland and Denver.
"We've got to solve it and we've got to solve it quick," said Cassel, who was booed during most of Sunday's game. "We talk about it, but we obviously have to go out there and do a better job."
Just when you think the Brady Bunch in New England might be poised for cancellation, "Tom Terrific" pulls out the equivalent of a 35 rating and a 25 share. After a 68-yard touchdown put the Buffalo Bills up 21-7 early in the third quarter Sunday, Brady responded with TD passes to Danny Woodhead and Rob Gronkowski sandwiched around his own TD run. It didn't stop there and by the time it was over, the Patriots had recorded nearly 600 yards of total offense in a 52-28 rout.
New England became just the second team in NFL history to have a 300-yard passer (Brady, 340 yards), two 100-yard rushers (Brandon Bolden, 137 and Steven Ridley, 106) and two 100-yard receivers (Wes Welker, 129 and Gronkowski, 104) in the same game.
Order has been restored in the AFC East and the big bad bully on the block is back.
"We lost two in a row, we go on the road. We had two really tough losses, games that we expected to win," Brady said. "Then you come and play against a team that we lost to last year up 21 points, and we showed a lot of heart. That's a lot of adversity we faced and I thought we did a really good job of responding to that."
Percy Harvin took the opening kickoff back 105 yards for a touchdown, and Marcus Sherels added a 77-yard third quarter punt return for a score as the Minnesota Vikings ended their 11-game losing streak in the NFC North and matched their win total from last season with a 20-13 victory over Detroit at Ford Field.
The Vikings' Adrian Peterson also went over the 100-yard mark for the first time since returning from major reconstructive surgery knee surgery and it took him only 9 1/2 months to do it, a truly amazing recovery.
Perhaps the biggest return Sunday for Minnesota, however, was receiver Jerome Simpson, who missed the first three games of the season because of an NFL- mandated suspension after a drug conviction.
The former Cincinnati Bengals second-round pick offers the Vikings offense size, speed and athleticism. While his numbers look ordinary (four receptions, 50 yards), understand he also drew two downfield pass interference calls and made a huge fourth-quarter catch on a sideline fade when the Lions were loading the box to stop the run.
With Christian Ponder struggling mightily, Simpson's impact shouldn't be overlooked.
"It was great," Simpson said of his return. "The time that I had to sit out just made me a little hungrier and made me appreciate this game ... And next week, I get paid."
The Indianapolis Colts were on a bye this week but make no mistake, life doesn't take any time off.
Chuck Pagano is about to face something far more difficult than any NFL team. The Colts' first-year head coach has been diagnosed with a treatable form of leukemia.
According to the Indianapolis Star, Pagano underwent blood tests last week after feeling fatigued in recent weeks. The paper did not initially speculate on the nature of the illness, but added that the Colts are optimistic about his recovery and will have a press conference on Monday to discuss details. ESPN then reported that Pagano has leukemia and will miss the next six weeks.
Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians is expected to take over the head coaching duties in Pagano's absence.
Icing an NFL kicker rarely works and Eagles coach Andy Reid looked like he was about to find that out the hard way on Sunday night.
With Lawrence Tynes lining up for a 54-yard game winning field goal Reid signaled for a timeout just before the Giants' kicker misfired right.
Tynes took his mulligan and corrected his delivery flaw before booting his second try right down the middle. Luckily for Reid, it came up just short and the Eagles held on for a 19-17 win over the reigning Super Bowl champions.
"I don't believe in icing the kicker," Eagles quarterback Michael Vick told sideline reporter Michele Tafoya after the thrilling finish. "You give everything. You let them kick it and if it's good it's going to be good. If not, you can't play games. I don't know who started that but we have to end that tradition."
Reid probably agrees after dodging the wrath of the Philly faithful.
"When you're surrounded by 66,000 people that want to probably rip your throat out at that time, yes I did," Reid said when asked if he regretted calling the timeout that nearly cost his team the game. "That's about 20-fold what Custer felt."
The New Orleans Saints are in the midst of a disastrous 0-4 start but don't blame that on Drew Brees, who is on the verge of breaking one of the NFL's most enduring records.
Brees passed for 446 yards and three touchdowns in the Saints' 28-27 loss at Green Bay on Sunday and the Pro Bowl signal-caller has thrown at least one TD pass in an amazing 47 consecutive games, matching Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas (1956-60) for the longest streak in NFL history.
Unitas' mark of 47 consecutive games with a TD pass stood alone for 18,291 days and will likely fall next week San Diego visits Bourbon Street.
Although fantasy football has become a national phenomenon, football is really not a statistical game. There are no style points in the NFL and the only thing that matters when the final whistle blows is who is on the left side of the column.
That said, Brees' consistency over the past 47 games shouldn't be ignored and this may be the sport's equivalent to Joe DiMaggio's brilliant 56-game hitting streak in baseball.
- The Patriots' win over Buffalo was No. 194 of Bill Belichick's career, moving him past Chuck Knox and into eighth place on the NFL's all-time list. Next up is Dan Reeves with 201.
- Harvin has returned five kickoffs for TDs since entering the league in 2009, the most of any player. Meanwhile, Minnesota is the first team in NFL history to record both a kickoff return touchdown and a punt return touchdown in the same contest three different times.
- The Arizona Cardinals recorded the franchise's 500th regular-season victory with a 24-21 overtime win over Miami. The Cardinals are the ninth team in NFL history with 500.
- Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan passed for 369 yards and three touchdowns in the Falcons' 30-28 win over Carolina. Ryan is now 14-0 in his career (3-0 in 2012) when he throws at least three touchdowns in a game. Only former Oakland QB Daryle Lamonica (19-0) has a better record in games with at least three touchdown passes.
- St. Louis rookie kicker Greg Zuerlein converted all four-field goal attempts (58, 48, 60, 24 yards) in the Rams' 19-13 win over Seattle. Zuerlein is the first kicker in NFL history to convert a 60-yard field goal and a 50-yard field goal in the same game.
