Bumgarner, Giants shut out Dodgers
Los Angeles, CA – Clayton Kershaw tossed a masterpiece on Opening Day, but the San Francisco Giants have a fine young southpaw of their own.
Madison Bumgarner surrendered just two hits over eight dominant shutout innings in the Giants' 3-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the middle test of a three-game set.
Bumgarner (1-0), who retired 18 Dodgers in a row at one point, struck out six for San Francisco, which tallied 10 hits but grounded into four double plays.
"I felt really good, the best in a long time," Bumgarner said. "It feels good to get started on a good note. I felt like I was careful and made some quality pitches."
Kershaw fanned seven in his four-hit shutout on Monday.
Joaquin Arias tallied two hits, an RBI and a run scored, while Sergio Romo picked up his first save of the season with a 1-2-3 ninth.
South Korean left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu (0-1) made his highly-anticipated major league debut for the Dodgers and gave up three runs -- one earned -- on 10 hits over 6 1/3 frames. He fanned five and walked none.
"He knew what he was doing, he changed speeds. He wasn't as sharp as spring training, but he gets himself out of jams," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said of Ryu.
The 25-year-old Ryu, who agreed to a six-year, $36 million deal with the Dodgers after they bid $25.7 million to win the rights to negotiate with him during the offseason, became the first player to go straight from the Korean League to the major leagues.
Doubles by Andre Ethier and Mark Ellis served as Los Angeles' only hits of the contest.
The Giants struck first in the fourth and added two more runs in the seventh.
Buster Posey and Hunter Pence had consecutive one-out singles to put runners on the corners before Arias grounded an RBI single back up the box and just past a diving Ellis at second base to plate Posey.
Arias reached on a Justin Sellers throwing error at shortstop to start the seventh. Andres Torres lined a base hit to right and Brandon Crawford moved the runners over with a groundout to first base.
Ronald Belisario replaced Ryu on the mound to face Bumgarner, who slapped a high chopper to Sellers, whose throwing error to the plate allowed Arias and Torres to come across and make it 3-0.
Game Notes
Bumgarner came in with a 4.07 ERA in April, his highest in any month ... The Giants were 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position and left five men on base.

|Chris Mayes is the latest in a long line of stellar
Wolverines defensive linemen.
Wesley athletics photo
For eight of their nine games during the regular season, the Wesley defenders prepare one way. And that preparation is done nearly to perfection: They are statistically the best defense in the country.
But for one game each year, the Wolverines do things differently. Their regular defense goes on the shelf and all preconceived notions are set aside when Salisbury's triple option takes the field.
"Every time we prepare for Salisbury, it's a tough, more tiring practice," said All-America defensive lineman Chris Mayes. "Each year is a challenge, no matter what. We know who we're going to face when we play Salisbury."
Proximity and a football history dating nearly two decades magnify the intensity of the Wesley-Salisbury matchup. Since the inception of the Atlantic Central Football Conference, these teams have met for the Route 13 Rivalry 13 times.
Eerily ominous, isn't it? Perhaps even moreso considering this is the final year the conference will be in existence.
If either team saw their luck run out Sunday, it would likely be Salisbury after No. 3-ranked Wesley connected on a fourth-quarter touchdown pass to secure a 17-14 victory.
The Wolverines would say luck had little to do with it. After giving up 124 yards in the first quarter to the Gulls' powerful running attack, Wesley regained composure.
"We got on the sidelines, kind of settled down, and went over our assignments," Wesley coach Mike Drass said of his team's response to the first 15 minutes of play. "A disciplined offense calls for a disciplined defense. Our whole goal was to settle down and refocus."
Refocus they did. For the final three periods of play, Salisbury gained a mere 40 yards, a total well below their season average.
"I don't necessarily believe that it's luck, but as we played against the option well, we had opportunities that were made," said Mayes, a junior and team captain who is among the nation's leaders in sacks and tackles for loss.
Mayes, who had four tackles for loss on Saturday, was integral to setting up a field goal opportunity for Wesley. In the second quarter, the defensive lineman forced a fumble and scooped up the ball, returning it to the Gulls' 46 yards line – a play Mayes said brimmed with excitement. And it highlighted one of many instances when Wesley was able to shut down Salisbury after the big-play first quarter.
"One person messes up, the whole team messes up," Mayes said. "Once we became more disciplined in the second half, their offense couldn't run the ball."
Beyond taking his team one step closer to the playoffs, the Salisbury game meant a lot to Drass. It's the team's last as a member of the ACFC, which debuted in 1998 and is dissolving at the end of this season. (In 2011, Salisbury and Frostburg State will go to the Empire 8 while Wesley and Newport News Apprentice will become independents.) Saturday's game also marked yet another Wesley sweep of its opponents.
"It was nice, obviously it being the last game, to bring that crown back home to Wesley," he said.
Getting to this point in the season hasn't been easy for the Wolverines. Drass said that he's never fielded a team that has battled against so many injuries. Out of the lineup are quarterback Shane McSweeny, All-America tight end Sean McAndrew, wide receiver Gene Knight and cornerback Dakevis Howard, just to name a few.
But Drass praises the veterans who have proven themselves to be leaders. Mayes is not least among that group. For a team that, over the years, has had the likes of Bryan Robinson and Mike Ward, Drass said Mayes is right with them in terms of talent and mentality. Mayes knows that he has big shoes to fill.
"The pressure is always there, and it's always been there," the junior said. "But I usually don't succumb to pressure. As a D-lineman, we always just sit down and talk about how the D-linemen in the past were always great. … And we just want to move up and be the greatest line we can be."
But the team has also relies on a deep arsenal of younger players who have had breakout years. Two examples are sophomores Brandon Wright and Askia Jahad, who have shored up the run game. But it's Justin Sottilare who has had the biggest impact on the team in his first year as a regular starter.
Sottilare replaced McSweeny, who went down early in the opening game against Christopher Newport. Sottilare hasn't been is a carbon copy of his predecessor; he doesn't have mobility McSweeny had, for instance. But with over 2,000 yards passing so far this season, he's learned to manage the offense and has made himself known through the air.
"He's a kid who has ice water in his veins. Nothing ever bothers him," Drass said of the junior signal-caller. "He steps off the sideline at Christopher Newport, and you look at the stats after the game, and it's 267 yards and three touchdowns."
But that's indicative of the kind of depth and flexibility the team has shown from the outset -- and which has lasted them though the wins against teams like Delaware Valley, Capital and Salisbury.
"The guys who have gotten opportunities have stepped up and responded well," Drass said. "If you look at our team over the years, offensively, we play a pro-style of offense that adapts to the talent that we have. The offense is going to go in the direction of the players and their abilities."
Wesley has just one more game in the regular season, against Kean in Week 11. Coaches and players will have the bye week to bask in their success against their fiercest conference rival.
Mayes notes: "The feeling is actually greater this year because of the changing conferences, so we actually put the mark in the history books. The last [one], Wesley won it."
CNU has arisen from its slumber
Christopher Newport's season looked bleak back in mid-September, after the Captains dropped their third straight, the most recent having been against Frostburg State, a team that hadn't beaten anyone else before or since. Fast-forward to Week 9, and we have before us a CNU team that is in a familiar place at the top of the USA South and holding the tiebreaker over N.C. Wesleyan, the only other team with a lone conference loss. Getting here has not been easy, and on Saturday, the Captains had to fend off a Ferrum squad that was leading going into halftime. But characteristic over the short history of CNU, the Captains adjusted at the break and surged with three straight scores -- including a 52-yard touchdown pass to Christian Woelfel-Monsivais on the first drive of the second half. Proving again why conference play is so critical, we could see CNU in the postseason despite their early bumps.
F&M gets a leg up on McDaniel
A 37-yard Chris DeStefano field goal tied up the game between Franklin and Marshall and McDaniel with just under 4 minutes left to play. The Diplomats' kicker then took it a step further, booting the game-winning score 30 yards with 7 seconds remaining on the clock. His efforts capped a matchup that saw F&M dominate McDaniel statistically yet fail to pull ahead until those waning seconds. Blame it in part on the turnovers. Quarterback John Harrison had a stellar day of 447 yards, but his touchdown-to-interception ratio was just 2-4. F&M was able to pick off a couple of their own thanks to Phil Barbieri, who hauled in two interceptions while also leading the team with 11 tackles, eight of them solo.
Running away with the records
Washington and Lee not only clobbered Catholic 49-14, the Generals racked up a season-best 604 yards of total offense. They set an ODAC record for rushing yards in a game and in a season, with 496 and 3,008, respectively. They also translate those numbers into points by notching 33 touchdowns on the ground, which was yet another conference record. On Saturday, the Generals will host Hampden-Sydney; both teams are undefeated in conference play. If W&L wins, they clinch a bid to the postseason. If the Tigers win, they would have the inside track to the conference's automatic qualifier. However, H-SC then meets Randolph-Macon in Week 11, a team that could push a three-way tie in the conference if they win out. Then the ODAC's tie-breaker formula applies.
Blitz package
Ursinus' perfect season crumbled under the fleet feet of Moravian. A 54-yard Matt Johnson-to-Shawn Sylvainus pass play opened up scoring and led to the 24-17 win. This jumbles the Centennial Conference race ahead of a few key games in the next two weeks.
Hampden-Sydney's win over Guilford on Saturday made this year's Tigers senior class the winningest class in school history with an overall record of 35-5. The previous record was held by the 1973 football seniors.
Gettysburg had another day of big points and a close call. The Bullets rallied from a 23-point deficit against Susquehanna to finish with a 61-50 win at home. Quarterback Kyle Whitmoyer led the charge with five passing scores. Last week, Gettysburg also had to rally for a win, but Saturday's victory marked the first time since 1994 that the team has won four in a row.
Shenandoah kicker Andrew Lloyd had a school-record 48-yard field goal to start the Hornets' comeback in a 24-14 upset of Averett.
Terrance Dandridge carried a big load in Muhlenberg's 26-13 win over Dickinson. The rusher put up 191 yards and three touchdowns.
Maryville got its third win of the season with the help of the arm of freshman quarterback Dustin Williams, who had three touchdown passes in the second half to break open a 6-6 tie against Greensboro at the half. The Scots scored 34 points in the final 24 minutes of the game.

Panama takes down Mexico
Gabriel Torres scored twice to lead Panama to a 2-1 victory over Mexico in the first round of the CONCACAF Gold Cup at the Rose Bowl on Sunday.
"We have to analyze the situation and come back in better form and look to get to the next round," Mexico coach Jose Manuel De La Torre said. "The main objective is to qualify for the World Cup. Of course, we also have this objective to try and get this Gold Cup title."
Mexico, Panama, Canada and Martinique are competing in Group B. The top two teams will advance, along with two of three third-place finishers. Mexico has work to do to advance.
Mexico, an automatic qualifier in the Gold Cup tournament, lost its two prep matches prior to this tournament.
"All the teams in the world, teams like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have these types of situations," De La Torre said. "We have to keep working to get back in the best circumstances possible."
Panama showed Mexico how much work is needed.
Torres gave Panama a 1-0 lead with a penalty kick in the seventh minute, capitalizing on a foul that was committed by Mexico's Raul Jimenez on his teammate Alberto Quintero. Mexico goalkeeper Jonathan Orozco guessed right on the penalty, but Torres' shot was just out of his reach.
Mexico tied the score during first-half stoppage time. Israel Hernandez lofted a pass to Marco Fabian, who was charging toward the box. He used his chest to settle the ball down before firing a shot past goalkeeper Jaime Penedo.
Fabian came within a couple of feet of adding his second goal before the half ended.
Torres scored the go-ahead goal in the 48th minute after taking a pass from Quintero and threading the ball through the two-foot gap that was between Orozco and the near post. Torres one-timed the shot with the side of his right foot.
"It's important to start like this," Panama coach Julio Dely Valdes said. "We have said that we needed to come in here and get results. We won."
Panama was playing without Blas Perez, who was in the Los Angeles area but playing for his Major League Soccer team, FC Dallas. He should be available for Panama's next match.
Dely Valdes has a strategy that uses a lot of his younger players on the squad. Torres made it pay off.
"Players like Gabriel Torres have done a good job," he said. "We have to keep giving young players minutes and opportunities. We have to keep giving them minutes to keep doing a good job."
Mexico was thought to be a heavy favorite among Group B teams.
Bad passes, missed shots and a strong defensive effort by Panama contributed to Mexico's downfall.
"I think that we have committed errors that have cost us a lot," De La Torre said. "They have also cost us in moments where we had opportunities to score goals. We had two mistakes in the beginning of each half. We had opportunities to score and couldn't take advantage of them."
Panama will play Martinique, a 1-0 winner over Canada on Thursday in Seattle. Mexico will play against Canada also in Seattle on Thursday.

While driving by my old neighborhood last week, my kids said they missed living next to our amazing neighbors Jack and Mary. They were always so sweet to all of us and Jack never failed to put bags of fresh produce on our fence from his amazing garden. In the fall, they would bring us loaves of the most delicious chocolate zucchini bread that my kids absolutely loved. My daughter asked if I could try to make Jack & Mary's yummy zucchini bread so I went in search of a recipe and found one on Joy of Baking that looked good. I adapted the recipe to make muffins so I wouldn't have to heat up the house with the oven on for an hour. This recipe turned out to be great! Both of my kids loved these moist and delicious muffins and said they were as good as Jack & Mary's bread ~ I took that as a huge compliment! Thanks for the inspiration Jack & Mary.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a muffin tin with cooking spray.
Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl, stir until well combined. Toss in the chocolate chips and mix.
Whisk together the eggs, oil, sugars, and vanilla together until well combined. Add the zucchini and mix. Slowly add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture until just combined. Spoon evenly into the muffin tin.
Place into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before placing them on a cooling rack to continue cooling. Serve & enjoy.

Julianna Pena Out of UFC 171 After Suffering 'Gruesome' Knee Injury
(The knee can be a cruel mistress. One day you're provocatively bending it against a pole, without a care in the world. And the next day…betrayal. / Photo via Julianna's Facebook page)
TUF 18 winner Julianna Pena was scheduled to fight Jessica Andrade at UFC 171: Hendricks vs. Lawler in March — but it looks like the Venezuelan Vixen won't be fighting anyone for a long, long time. According to a report yesterday evening from MMAFighting.com, Pena suffered a "gruesome injury to her right knee" during a grappling session on Monday, "damaging her ACL, MCL, LCL and meniscus." Yep, I think that covers everything.
Pena is scheduled to undergo surgery next week, and doctors have already assured her that her knee will return to full strength following surgery and rehab. Not that it's any consolation to UFC president Dana White, who was pissed last night:Read More DIGG THIS

Marceline Guerrein, who found freedom and friendship while hiking some of the toughest trails in the world, died recently in Ocala. She was 90.
Marceline Guerrein, who found freedom and friendship while hiking some of the toughest trails in the world, died recently in Ocala. She was 90.
At an age when most people are looking toward retirement, Guerrein started planning her first long-distance hike. She was going to hike coast to coast, from San Francisco to Delaware. That was when she was 58.
She had raised five children and was ready for a new adventure. She quit her job and headed west for the start of the hike in 1980, which was sponsored by a hiking association. It took her 13 months to cover the more than 4,300 miles, but she made it.
"She always loved the outdoors. Her high school motto was, 'Climb, though the rocks be rugged,' " said her daughter, Paula Guerrein, who lives in Gainesville.
The year after her walk across America, she decided to tackle the 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail, which stretches from Georgia to Maine. She made it to New Hampshire before the weather got too cold, but came back the next year to finish the last few miles.
"When you look at the chapters of your life, her second act was certainly one that was inspirational to a lot of folks," Paula Guerrein said. "I've gotten letters from people whose lives she's touched along the way."
She went on to hike the Colorado Trail and others before moving on to Europe, where she hiked through the Alps and then the Himalayas.
Marceline convinced Paula to take up hiking and the pair became constant hiking partners.
"She was my best friend and I can't tell you how much I miss her," Paula said.
In all, Marceline estimated that she hiked more than 17,000 miles and she continued to hike well into her 80s, but she didn't slow down much.
"Mom always wanted to learn new things. She joined a synchronized swim team in her 80s. She learned to kayak in her 80s. She slept in a tent with me in Yellowstone Park in her 80s. She was such a strong woman. She's had so much energy," Paula said.
She died on Dec. 8 at her home, surrounded by family.
She was cremated and her ashes will be spread in areas that were special to her.
"I just spread some in an estuary in St. Augustine. That's where life comes from and goes out into the ocean and the world," Paula said.
Marceline Guerrein is survived by her children Marsha, Kurt, Michelle, Paula and Ann, and three grandchildren.

Top Cars
Cheap Thrills: The 8 Most Affordable Sports Cars Available Today
If your current car has you a little bored on the road, then you've come to the right place. We've listed eight of today's best affordable sports cars, proving that you can upgrade your driving experience without spending a fortune.
Chevrolet Camaro
You might think the Chevrolet Camaro is out of your price range, given its large size, its bold retro styling and its muscular power. But that's probably not the case, given the Camaro's reasonable starting price of just $24,500 with shipping. Sure, that number won't get you a V8-powered Camaro SS, but even the V6 is highly appealing thanks to figures such as 323 horsepower, 278 lb-ft of torque, and 0-to-60 times of under 6 seconds. Of course, some shoppers will prefer a convertible, but even that model is reasonably priced, with a starting figure of around $32,000 with shipping.
FIAT 500 Abarth
The sporty Abarth model proves that FIAT's small 500 hatchback is more than just a tiny economy car. While its starting price of around $23,000 may seem a little expensive for a subcompact, drivers interested in performance will appreciate nearly everything about the car, from its snarling exhaust note to its enjoyable manual transmission. And while the Abarth only has 160 hp, you'll quickly discover that that's all it needs to provide a thrilling experience for shoppers interested in an affordable sports car with a unique look.
Ford Focus ST
The Ford Focus ST is one of the most exciting new cars on the market. Take just one look at its specs, and it's easy to see why: Thanks to a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, the Focus ST offers a wild 252 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque, all fed to the front wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. And while that may seem like a lot of power to put to the front wheels, the Focus ST does an excellent job of handling it, thanks to various systems installed by Ford to limit torque steer. Beyond its sheer numbers, the Focus ST has other benefits, too: It seats five in adequate comfort, it offers a practical infotainment system, and it starts at just $25,000 with shipping.
Ford Mustang
The 2014 Ford Mustang is fast. It's fun. It's rear-wheel drive. And with four seats and a reasonably large trunk, it's surprisingly practical. Best of all, it's less than $24,000 with shipping. Sure, that figure is only for the Mustang's base-level V6 model, but we happen to think that a 6-cylinder Mustang isn't so bad. After all, it offers more than 300 hp and up to 30 miles per gallon in highway driving. But if you just have to have the V8-powered Mustang GT, even that model won't break the bank; its starting price is just under $32,000 with shipping. And we think you can get one even cheaper if you act fast, since there's an all-new Mustang just around the corner.
Mazda MX-5 Miata
The Mazda MX-5 Miata is a rear-wheel-drive, 2-seat convertible that boasts one of the most enjoyable driving experiences on the road. That's all due to the fact that the MX-5 Miata is tuned for optimal handling, giving you the power to go around corners at surprisingly quick speeds. And while the MX-5 Miata only offers 167 hp, it's important to remember that the small car is very light. The power is more than enough to give drivers an enjoyable experience. The best part: The MX-5 Miata offers one of the best values among modern sports cars, with a starting price of just $24,500 with shipping.
MINI Cooper
The MINI Cooper now comes in so many varieties that it's hard to decide which one to recommend to shoppers interested in a sporty car on a budget. Fortunately, we don't have to choose: All varieties of the MINI Cooper are excellent. For basic thrills, go with the standard hatchback, which starts around $21,000 with shipping or $24,500 for a 189-hp Cooper S. For drop-top thrills, the MINI Cooper convertible starts at around $26,000 with shipping and seats four passengers. And for those interested in a sportier driving experience, the new MINI Coupe and Roadster -- which start at $22,500 and $26,500, respectively -- boast tremendous handling that goes beyond even the standard MINI's impressive capabilities.
Scion FR-S
The 2-door, 4-seat Scion FR-S has earned a lot of praise in recent years for combining an excellent chassis and tight handling with reasonable pricing. While its cabin is a bit tight, the FR-S offers strong performance thanks to its impressive suspension, its communicative steering and a 200-hp 4-cylinder engine. With prices starting at just $25,500, the FR-S is also a relative bargain in the sports-car world, especially when you consider that nearly all of its rivals offer a slightly less enjoyable front-wheel-drive setup.
Volkswagen GTI
Don't let the styling fool you: Volkswagen's sporty GTI is a lot different from the automaker's mainstream Golf hatchback. Of course, there's more power: The GTI boasts a potent 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that makes 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque. But the GTI also adds subtle styling updates, more supportive seats, larger wheels, and of course, a sport suspension, which helps to improve the hatchback's capabilities in the corners. In the end, the GTI is one of the best hot hatches on the market, especially when you consider its reasonable $26,000 base price.

The so-called "fiscal cliff" is a good thing for Washington because it will force both Democrats and Republicans to cede ground on core issues, Whitney Tilson of T2 Partners said Friday on CNBC.
Tilson, a supporter of President Barack Obama and fundraiser for his re-election campaign, said that he expected resolution of the "fiscal cliff" would involve increasing taxes and eliminating deductions, as well as one important area: "Democrats are going to have to touch the third rail for them, which is entitlements, and Obama, I think, is willing to do that," he said on "Fast Money."
"Every Democrat I talked to is willing to do that, but only in the context of Republicans giving on the tax and deductions side aimed more at wealthiest folks in this country who are the ones that can afford to give more."

"Microsoft and Nvidia have an agreement in place that spells out terms relating to a possible acquisition of the graphics and mobile processor manufacturer, regulatory documents indicate. The deal gives Microsoft the exclusive right to match any offer for 30% or more of Nvidia's outstanding shares by a third-party." The agreement appears to be over 10 years old, dating back to the time of the contract for the GPU of the original X-Box. It has likely gained relevance again now that Microsoft allegedly wants to more closely control hardware of tablets running its upcoming Windows 8 OS.

You may not have known this, but as quarterback Eli Manning drove the New York Giants to their game-winning touchdown in the final minute of Sunday's Super Bowl XLVI, he did so with the help of a Shelby Countian standing right there on the Giants' sideline.
No, he wasn't wearing a Giants uniform, and he wasn't the 12th man on the field for that late penalty, but he did help mold a group of professional athletes into the team that upset New England, 21-17, even if his contribution didn't show up in the statistics or challenge Manning for a trip to Disney World.
He is Jim Murphy, a former baseball star at Shelby County and the University of Kentucky who took his career as a jet pilot to a new altitude with a company called Afterburner, Inc., a business management firm that helped the Giants' shake their midseason funk and storm into an unlikely appearance in the title game.
And for Murphy, it was a contribution that earned a nice little reward.
"We were guests of the Giants [for the game], and we had field passes," Murphy said Monday as he was preparing to leave his home in Atlanta for a trip to Brazil, to open a new office for his company and conduct a couple of seminars. "We were on the field for the post-game celebration and presentation of the Lombardi Trophy."
Let's get this right: Indy for the Super Bowl on Sunday, Atlanta on Monday and in Brazil today. That's life in the fast lane, to be sure.
But, then, few can fly faster or higher or accomplish quite as much as has Murphy.
And he has flown a long, long way from the boy from Bagdad who had an eye on a career in baseball, a degree in liberal arts and selling copiers for Toshiba to a cockpit of one of the world's fastest aircraft.
Maybe you knew Murphy, 47, at SCHS, Class of '82. Maybe you played with him as a defensive back on one of Tom Becherer's football teams or a shortstop on baseball teams coached by Hubie Pollett and Phil Bell.
"He was very intense and very competitive," Pollett said. "He was an excellent ballplayer…put a hundred percent into everything. "
Maybe you followed his career as a first baseman at UK, where, Murphy said, "I thought baseball was my destiny until my last game."
Maybe you bought a facsimile machine or copier from him when he called on your business.
Yep, that's the guy whose company now trains millions in 23 countries how to conduct business the military way, a plan that crystallized in the cockpit, too, after some interesting twists and rolls.
How it started
Murphy said that when he was selling office equipment door-to-door, he met a fighter pilot. "I was really impressed with him, and I decided I wanted to learn to fly, thought about getting into the Air Force.
"It was very competitive. You've got about three hundred and fifty guys for one slot. But I made it. Then I went to officer training school and pilot training, where it was even more competitive and the washout rate was really high. I graduated at the top of my class and was chosen as an F-15 pilot. There only were eight chosen.
"So here I was, sixteen months after leaving Shelby County, and I was flying an F-15, the most sophisticated aircraft in the world."
"I thought, 'I can't believe a guy like me, Jim Murphy, is in this seat right now. These people came from different walks of life into this role. I had an epiphany that day about what if others had that training. I vowed to emulate what they did."
Murphy said he spent the next seven years studying the military management formula of planning, executing and debriefing, so he could teach it to businesses.
In 1996 he started Afterburner and recruited others who had received similar training to help him form his company. He now has about 60, all former fighter pilots, Navy SEALS and others from special ops.
And that cockpit vision has proven far better than 20/20.
The company
Most of the companies Afterburner has helped are Fortune 500 companies, and Afterburner twice has landed in Inc. Magazine's list of the 500 fastest-growing companies in American. It has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Financial Times, Newsweek, and Meetings and Conventions Magazine. Just last week, during Super Bowl week, Murphy appeared on Headline News Network.
He is also the author of Business Is Combat, now in its third printing, and his latest book, Flawless Execution.
His model, he said, simply teaches basic military techniques that apply to the business environment, basing it on what pilots call "task saturation, which causes errors to increase and performance to decrease.
"What are companies doing now? Asking employees to do more with less. So we go in and test individuals and teams.
"That's a key component we taught the Giants, that right when you finished to execute a debrief."
To the Meadowlands
The Giants in mid-October were struggling at 4-3 and fighting for a foothold to get to the playoffs, much less advance in them.
That's when owner John Mara and Coach Tom Coughlin called Afterburner.
When his team arrived at the Meadowlands, Murphy said, they found the team mired in a hierarchal culture that debriefed based on hints and finger pointing, a group he wanted to teach to go behind that and ask the whys.
"There was a hierarchy based on the salary caps, rookies, coaches etc., and it was not honest," he said. "They would wait for superiors to tell them about mistakes. Players or peers or groups would admit the mistakes."
Afterburner's trainers broke the team into groups and implemented its trademarked Flawless Execution program, and the results were obvious: eight consecutive victories including the big one in Indianapolis.
"We worked with them into November, and they invited us to San Francisco [for the NFC title game on Jan. 22], and then they asked us to go to the big show," Murphy said.
Shelby roots
So there was Murphy, standing on the sidelines of the biggest television event in history, about 100 miles from where his family still lives.
His sisters, Traci Hunter, a real-estate agent, and Cheryl Meffert, who flies C-130s for the National Guard, still live in Shelby County. He has a niece who is a senior at Collins High School and a nephew who is attending Georgetown College.
His parents, Ann and Jim Murphy, still live near Bagdad on the farm that Murphy used to buzz with his jet when he would fly in for Thunder over Louisville or the air show in Clarksville, Ind.
"I would buzz Bagdad from time to time," he said. "It upset some of the farmers, so I quit doing that. But most really liked it. I just tried to scare my dad."
The big day
On Sunday, the Murphy family gathered at the home of Traci and John Hunter in Simpsonville to watch the game and look for familiar faces.
"They had seats in the friends and family section," Traci Hunter said. "My sister-in-law Greice sat next to Rudy Gulliani. We never did see him.
"But he said that when they passed the trophy, he just reached out and touched it. But we didn't see it."
Jim and Greice Murphy stayed in Indianapolis for the team-only post-game party where "I got real close to the Lombardi Trophy," he said. "I've been to Super Bowls before, but not like that."
Then they drove back to Atlanta and headed out to Brazil, Greice Murphy's homeland, but not before she downloaded hundreds of photographs for her Facebook page.
Meanwhile, the Giants continued to celebrate their victory with a parade in New York and accepting the $88,000 winning share each will receive, which begs the question:
Does Murphy get a share?
"I haven't yet," he said. "I guess I'll have to sit by the mailbox."

A's salvage split with Mariners
Oakland, CA – Josh Reddick and Yoenis Cespedes both hit two- run home runs and the Oakland Athletics defeated the Seattle Mariners, 8-2, on Thursday.
Reddick finished with four RBI, while John Jaso and Nate Freiman knocked in a run apiece for the Athletics, who earned a split of this four-game series with back-to-back wins. Oakland starter A.J. Griffin (1-0) allowed two runs on seven hits over six innings.
"So far, so good," said shortstop Jed Lowrie. "We turned it on the last two games, played much better as a team. I think that was the most evident thing as compared to the last two games."
Brandon Maurer (0-1) made his major league debut for the Mariners and had a mixed performance. He threw 74 pitches over six innings, but gave up six runs on eight hits.
"I think just having the first one (start) underneath his belt, just knowing he's into his routine and he has something to work off of now," said Mariners manager Eric Wedge. "He went through some initial feelings that I'm sure he hasn't had before. These are all good things."
Michael Morse hit a solo shot and Michael Saunders had an RBI for Seattle, which was 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position.
Reddick hit a home run with one out in the first inning, scoring Coco Crisp, who had a leadoff single.
In the top of the fifth, Griffin gave up singles to Dustin Ackley and Kelly Shoppach. Robert Andino advanced the runners with a sacrifice bunt and Saunders then hit a sacrifice fly to left.
In the bottom of the inning, Chris Young had a leadoff double. With Jaso at the plate, Maurer threw a wild pitch that allowed Young to reach third base. Two pitches later, Jaso singled and Young scored easily.
Morse homered to lead off the sixth and close the gap to 3-2.
Lowrie hit a one-out double in the bottom of the inning, and Reddick followed that with a double of his own, allowing Lowrie to score. Cespedes then hit a home run on a 2-1 count to give the Athletics a 6-2 lead.
In the eighth, after a leadoff single by Crisp and a double by Lowrie, Reddick hit a sac fly to center, bringing Crisp to the plate and Lowrie to third. Freiman's sac fly scored Lowrie.
Game Notes
Griffin threw 95 pitches in his outing ... The Athletics were 3-for-3 with runners in scoring position ... Morse has homered four times in the first four games, joining Ken Griffey Jr. in 1997 as the only Mariners player to do so.

Wikitravel talk:Wikitravel Press
DerFussi -- thanks to the CC by-sa license, I can make a printed guidebook from Wikivoyage content, sell it and take all the money. Does that make you my slave? I'll answer my own question: no, it doesn't, because the whole point of open content is that it can be freely reused.
Of course we'd love to give away books for free, but printing physical books on paper costs money, print on demand is expensive and we just can't compete with Let's Rough Planet's 100,000-copy print runs on price. Instead, our advantage will be that we're much, much more up-to-date than "traditional" guidebooks.
Those Wikitravellers who opt/are chosen to be editors — and make no mistake, it will be a job — will get paid for their work, and a large part of any future profits from WTP will be plowed back into Wikitravel the website. I, personally, think that giving people the option to buy printed copies of guides they like is a much friendlier way of funding the site than advertisements or begging for donations. Jpatokal 05:23, 3 August 2007 (EDT)
DerFussi, you know that according to the license you can make and sell printed guides too, don't you? -- Mark 08:52, 3 August 2007 (EDT)
Links from Wikitravel
So, I'd like to open the discussion on another chapter of WTP, so to speak -- how its guides are linked in from (or, if you prefer, "advertised by") Wikitravel. As WTP's head honcho, I'd like to see both of the following:
Whaddaya think? And one important disclaimer: it's IB's website, so they'll also need to agree to anything proposed — they aren't too keen on us using up their valuable virtual real estate, but I'm sure they'd appreciate hearing the community's views on whether said space should be used for WTP ads or, say, random Google Adwords.

UK Law Enforcement Told Miranda He'd Go To Jail If He Didn't Reveal His Email, Social Media Passwords
from the shameful dept
Mr Miranda told the BBC he was forced to disclose his social media passwords.It's difficult to see how this was meant as anything other than an intimidation tactic against Greenwald, and as a weak attempt to try to uncover what Greenwald is working on by getting his partner's passwords. It seems unlikely, given Greenwald's crash course in encryption and government spying, that Miranda's passwords would be helpful in any way. So, instead, it's just more bullying. There was simply no basis to throw Miranda in jail, and yet UK law enforcement intimidated him with such threats to get him to cough up his passwords. Just incredibly shameful.
"I am very angry. This feeling of invasion. It's like I'm naked in front of a crowd," he said. "They said I had to co-operate or else I was going to jail."

East Texas Man Arrested for Trying to Bathe in a Rain Puddle
You can't find many bigger winners than this guy -- and right here in East Texas, no less.
According to Lufkin Police Department records, 31-year-old Clifton Tremaine Garrett was arrested late Friday (Sept. 14) for public intoxication.
Garrett was allegedly found on the side of the road attempting to bathe in a street puddle. The records do not indicate how much clothes he shed while attempting to bathe. We do know the area got quite a bit of rain last night, so convenience definitely had to play a role.
This also was at least the third time in about a month Garrett has been arrested in Lufkin for public intoxication. Circumstances surrounding his other two arrests are unknown, but if they're anything like this one, there's just another reason to lay off the sauce, my friend.

What an interesting summer this has been. The overabundance of rain has been a real challenge to those dedicated farm families who work so hard to provide us with the fresh vegetables and fruit that we so long for from October to May.
What an interesting summer this has been. The overabundance of rain has been a real challenge to those dedicated farm families who work so hard to provide us with the fresh vegetables and fruit that we so long for from October to May. These are the days, as August slips into September, to take advantage of the vegetables that are available at the local produce stands.
Perhaps you didn't realize that tomatoes, watermelon and cantaloupes have been in short supply this summer because there has been too much rain. (In an average summer we complain of not enough rain.) The corn yield has been up and yet there were weeks when sweet corn was scarce because those hard rains in the spring resulted in fields so muddy that the growers couldn't get in them to plant. So that "we" can have corn through most of June, July and August, the farmers anticipate being able to do weekly plantings to keep up with our demands.
In my humble and aged opinion, the average consumer is too far removed from the reality of where the food that we take for granted comes from. This past weekend I was a volunteer at the Great Eastern Shore Tomato Festival in Vienna, Md. When we were planning activities for this in March, we decided that "the public" might enjoy the opportunity to participate in a tasting of Heirloom tomatoes.
Many of us who are more mature remember tomatoes that had a different flavor and texture. Those were the days when you went into the garden in the morning and picked what you would have for dinner that evening. You didn't worry about "shelf-life" because your tomatoes were going straight from your garden to your table and they were NOT going to sit on a shelf.
As large grocery chains replaced small family markets, consumers started to expect that those chains would have the same fresh vegetables. But consider this: Have you ever seen a large garden patch behind an Acme or Giant? Consumer demand drove the agri-scientists to experiment to produce vegetables that could be picked, shipped and still look appealing when it finally got into those mega stores. And those same consumers wanted a wider window of availability of this produce. As the years rolled on, many of the flavors and characteristics that made the "fresh-from-your-garden" vegetables so delicious were sacrificed to allow for more "durable" produce.
I had the pleasure of hearing folks say "Wow! Now this tastes like the tomatoes that I remember" when they stopped by to taste the variety of Heirloom tomato offerings that, through the cooperation of Fifer Orchards in Wyoming, we were able to share at The Great Eastern Shore Tomato Festival. This week I urge you to go out to Fifer's and select five or six or more tomatoes from the wide variety of Heirloom tomatoes that they offer and take some home so that your family can participate in a tomato-tasting and realize how many flavors and shapes and colors there really are in the tomato plant family. The variety of colors should amaze you.
While you are out there, pick up some green beans to use in preparing Roasted Parmesan Green Beans. I served these with grilled chicken breasts flavored in 4 Ingredient Chicken Marinade and Cracker Barrel's Hashbrowns Copycat Casserole and, of course, sliced tomatoes!
Contact Judi at email@example.com.
Roasted Parmesan Green Beans
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed, washed and completely dried
3 teaspoons olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons shredded fresh Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the green beans in a plastic bag and add the olive oil. Seal the bag and shake so that the olive oil goes over all the green beans. Spread the green beans out in a single layer on the aluminum foil covered baking sheet and sprinkle with the sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Place tray on a rack in the lower third of your oven and roast for 10 minutes. Shake the pan gently to turn the beans and roast for 5 minutes more. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
4 Ingredient Chicken Marinade
(this makes marinade for approximately 16 boneless chicken breasts)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup canola or vegetable oil
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup apple cider or plain white vinegar
Whisk these ingredients together to blend. Place chicken breasts in a zip-lock plastic bag and pour on just enough marinade to cover them. Seal bag and refrigerate chicken in marinade for several hours. Place UNUSED remaining marinade in a covered container and refrigerate for up to two weeks. ALWAYS discard any marinade that has been in contact with the chicken. Place the marinated breasts on a grill over medium-high heat and grill for about six minutes. Then flip them over and grill for five minutes more. If you have purchased gigantic chicken breasts, cut them in half before grilling so that the chicken will grill evenly. Use tongs to turn the chicken (do not prick with a fork).
Cracker Barrel's Hashbrowns Copycat Casserole
32-ounces frozen hash browns, thawed in the refrigerator
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (10 1/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
16-ounces sour cream
1/2 cup peeled and chopped sweet onion
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a shallow 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss so that the ingredients are well-mixed. Spoon into prepared baking dish and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until bubbly and golden.

The disease that starves your bird: Psittacine Proventricular Dilatation Syndrome (PPDS)
Psittacine Proventricular Dilatation Syndrome (PPDS) is also known by many, less common names, including Macaw Wasting Disease and Neuropathic Gastric Dilatation.
PDS is a disease that destroys gastric mobility and as a result, birds are unable to absorb nutrients due to improper digestion.
Thought to be viral in origin, PPDS is contagious and often devastating. Young or old, imported or domestic and male or female birds are equally at risk for PPDS.
The proventriculus is the glandular stomach, where gastric (stomach) juices are secreted. It is directly connected to the esophagus. The ventriculus is the muscular stomach (what most people know as the "gizzard") and is next in the gastric chain through which food passes.
Although most commonly affecting macaws and cockatoos, any of the psittacines are susceptible to this disease. Signs that the owner might see include:
Progressive central nervous system signs, including ataxia (stumbling, off-balance), the inability to perch, head tremors, and even paralysis.
Appropriate diagnosis is important since PPDS can masquerade as lead or zinc poisoning, foreign body ingestion, and a few other conditions. For unknown reasons, a higher incidence of PPDS is seen in African Grey Parrots and Blue and Gold Macaws.
Diagnosis is generally based on history, symptoms, and evidence of an abnormal proventriculus. X-rays taken after the bird is tube fed barium will most often show a greatly enlarged proventriculus and, a fairly normal ventriculus.
Although prognosis for this disease is poor, dietary changes (feeding a high quality diet) and other supportive care, including the use of fluids, may help the bird's quality of life. Always see your avian veterinarian if you are unsure of your bird's health status.
