If NBA commissioner Adam Silver hadn't taken swift action to ban embattled Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling from the league for life on Tuesday, former New Orleans guard Roger Mason Jr. said players were ready to boycott playoff games.
Mason, who played for the then-named New Orleans Hornets last season, is the National Basketball Players Association's vice president, said he spoke to representatives from all of the teams currently involved in the playoffs.
''I reached out to other players around the league and made it clear that players were ready to boycott the games if this type of action was not something that Adam Silver felt strongly about,'' Mason said. ''I'm very happy with (Silver's) decision, but we're not content yet.''
A firestorm of controversy was ignited this past Friday after an audio recording released on TMZ's website, where Sterling could be heard telling his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, not to bring black people to Clippers games.
Silver said the NBA's investigation discovered that Sterling did indeed make the racist remarks on the audio recording. In addition to his lifetime ban from the league, Silver levied a $2.5 million fine and will urge the Board of Governors to exercise its authority to force a sale of the team.
The NBA announced on Wednesday the owners' 10-member advisory/finance committee will hold a meeting Thursday to discuss the next steps in the removal of Sterling as owner of the Clippers.
Sterling is the longest tenured owner in the NBA, having owned the Clippers for 33 years.
In order to force Sterling to sell the franchise, 22 of the 29 owners must vote in favor of the move.
''I fully expect to get the support I need from the other NBA owners to remove him,'' Silver said Tuesday.
Fifteen owners, including New Orleans' Tom Benson, have issued statements in support of Silver's decision.
''In light of the serious matter facing our league, a matter that transcends sports, the New Orleans Pelicans fully support the decisions made today by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and will fully support his recommendations moving forward,'' Benson said.
In a statement issued by Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor: ''The Timberwolves stand firmly in full support of the swift and impactful action taken by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. His leadership and direction in this matter is completely appropriate and appreciated by the Timberwolves organization. We stand unified with Commissioner Silver today and reaffirm our organization's zero tolerance approach to the type of reprehensible behavior which caused this action.''
Mason said he's very happy with Silver's decision, but they are not content yet.
''We want immediate action. we want a timetable from the owners as far as
when this vote is going to happen,'' Mason said. ''But we feel confident with Adam
Silver's urging and obviously we heard from a lot of owners around the
league. We think this is something that can handle quickly.''
If Sterling is forced to sell, there could be several potential candidates interested in purchasing the franchise. At the top of the list could be Magic Johnson and his financial group, who are reportedly interested.
potential bidders are Larry Ellison, who unsuccessfully tried to buy
the New Orleans Hornets from former owner George Shinn in
2010 before he was outbid by the NBA before the league sold the
franchise to Tom Benson in 2012.
Boxer Floyd Mayweather said on Tuesday he is interesting in making a bid to acquire the Clippers, but he would likely need an investor group and still would probably be a longshot. Celebrity Oprah Winfrey also is reportedly interested in making a bid for the franchise.
Former LSU center Stanley Roberts, who played five seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers from 1992-97 with Sterling as owner, said he was surprised by Silver's swift action on Tuesday.
''That's pretty quick and steep,'' Roberts said.''I know how they operate. To me it's all politics, all business. Anything that is going to hurt their income, they are going to deal with. He's a threat to their image, so they are going to do what they need to do as a business and a corporation. They feel this is the best way to go about it.
''I can only speak for myself and I never had a problem with Donald Sterling. He never crossed me in any kind of way. He always showed respect for me. I've been to his house when I played for him, met his kids and wife. He never crossed me that way.''

After about two years living at the Hoverter Homes housing project in Harrisburg, Ralph Rios said he's had it with the violence.
A 35-year-old man was shot to death Tuesday night in Rios' development in the 1100 block of Cloverly Lane. The victim's identity hasn't been released yet.
It is the city's ninth homicide and the first since Sept. 12.
"This is another incident of gun play that has caused another death in the city," Harrisburg Police Chief Pierre Ritter said.
Officers responded to report of gunfire around 8 p.m. They found in the kitchen of one of the apartments a man with several gunshot wounds to the torso, Ritter said. There may have been up to four shots fired, the chief said.
Several of the victim's relatives witnessed the killing, Ritter said. They were being interviewed at police headquarters late Tuesday.
"There was some kind of altercation that ended up in gunfire," Ritter said. "Hopefully we can wrap this up in an expeditious manner."
Police interviewed neighbors who said they saw a man running north from the apartment following the gunfire. The man was dressed in dark clothing, but the witnesses did not have a more detailed description.
An autopsy was scheduled for this morning.
Anyone with information on the homicide can call Harrisburg police at 717-255-3131.

Clinical Research at SUNY College of Optometry
Innovative Research Systems for Advanced Patient Care
Why is the Clinical Vision Research Center so important?
The CVRC is one of the few major metropolitan centers dedicated to optometric research. Clinical research in optometry gives us information about the best drugs and treatments for your vision health. We can't do this without your help. You can use this website to learn more about our clinical research program.
We all benefit every day from clinical research. Any medical treatment you receive is available to you because of research that showed the treatments are safe and effective. Clinical research studies need volunteers of all ages and backgrounds in order to help researchers develop new and better medical treatments.
Why Volunteer?
There is no substitute for the people who participate in clinical research. Volunteers like you are the only way for new treatments to become available to the public.
On a more personal level, why should you volunteer for a clinical study? There are many reasons:
- You may help develop new treatments for a condition that affects yourself, a loved one, or friend.
- You may be offered treatment options for a condition that are not normally available.
- Some studies provide free treatment (i.e., eye exams, contact lenses) or reimbursement for time.
- Many people participate because they want a future with better vision health for everyone.
You don't have to have problems with your eyes to participate in clinical research. Some studies need healthy volunteers.
For more information, contact the Clinical Vision Research Center.

Good luck, Eric Mangini. You're gonna need it.
Seems the new head coach of the Cleveland Browns has gotten himself in hot water with one player you don't want to be in hot water with – former Detroit Lions defensive tackle Shaun Rogers.
In fact, Rogers is rumored to be so miffed – that's right, I said "miffed" – he doesn't want the Browns to pick up his $6 million option-bonus he will have coming next month.
NFL.com, February 24: Some of Rogers' feelings stem back to two offseason incidents in which he believes Mangini disrespected him. The first time, Mangini walked into the Browns' training room and failed to say hello to Rogers. The next time, at a public charity function in which both men were in the green room, neither said hello to the other, and Mangini later said he didn't know Rogers was there.
"Anytime someone new comes in, there's a process of getting to know that person," Mangini said Feb. 4. "I feel really comfortable with who I am and the things I do. I know that everything is done for a very specific reason and that is to give us the best chance to win. I feel really good about the relationships that I had in New York with the players there. I think that the things that they have said are things I feel really good about. I anticipate having those same types of relationships here."
Note to Shaun: Dude, hit a strip club and get over it. For a six-pack of million-dollar bills, you can throw a beer in my face every time you see me (Fat Tire or Levity, please).
Big thank yous go out to Eric, Stan and Bill for e-mailing the link to this article to me!

Snowfall today through Christmas Eve Day will be all of the lake effect type. One of those lake effect snow bands may make it all the way over here into the Detroit area. If the lake effect snow does make it into here in Detroit, it would be late this evening and overnight.
Other areas of heavy snow will be in southwest Michigan, part of the central U.P., and possibly in the northern part of the Thumb.
This afternoon a band of lake effect snow is going to develop around Holland and South Haven, and then stretch eastward to Kalamazoo, Jackson, Ann Arbor, and Detroit. The heaviest snow will fall near Lake Michigan around Holland and South Haven. There could be areas of four to eight inches of snow in this area near Lake Michigan. The band of snow will then stretch to the east and get weaker. There still could be one or two solid inches of snow along I-94 into the Detroit area. The heaviest snow in Ann Arbor and Detroit would fall this evening and overnight.
If you are driving from Detroit to Chicago, the best way to avoid most of the lake effect snow band will be to drive south to I-80 and go west. This will help you avoid the lake effect snow that may stretch right along I-94. It will cost you a little more with tolls, but it may be a much safer drive.
There will also be an area of heavy snow in the central U.P. The Marquette area could have three to six inches of snow today through tomorrow. The rest of the U.P. looks fairly quiet for the next 24 hours. The same will not be true on Christmas Day, when bursts of heavy snow will fall across much of the U.P.
Here is what the National Weather Service in Marquette has to say about the snow today.
The last area of potentially moderate lake effect snow is in the tip of the Thumb. The wind flow out of the north-northwest could allow a band of lake effect snow to develop and snow on Port Austin and Harbor Beach. If the lake effect develops, there could be some spots that pick up a couple of inches of snow.
As we go through Christmas Eve Day, the snow will end and leave a pretty quiet travel period for tomorrow afternoon and evening.
A White Christmas is on the way
We will have snow in the air on Christmas. The intensity and amount will vary from decorative snowflakes here in Detroit to heavy snow at times in the eastern U.P. For most of southern Michigan, the snow won't make a major travel problem on Christmas day. I'd look for one or two inches of snow on Christmas.
Near the western shoreline, the snow will be a little heavier for a three to six hour time period. This would happen between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m. Christmas morning.
The eastern U.P. could have very nasty travel Christmas Day. A storm system combined with a southwest wind producing lake effect could make travel treacherous. I'd look for four to eight inches of fluffy snow, along with winds gusting to 30 miles per hour. The combination will cause dangerous blowing and drifting. If you have to drive to the U.P., I would definitely get there by tomorrow evening.
If you have any travel weather questions, ask them below.

Making a difference through toy trains
We've all heard the expression that "one person can make a difference" but how many of us truly take that to heart? If you've ever had the opportunity to attend the Will Huffman Toy Train Expo over the last 22 years, you witnessed the legacy of one man's humble idea to give back to the community through "a celebration of the magic and nostalgia of toy trains."
As an assistant curator of the LaRue Shempp Model Train Collection at the Lycoming County Historical Society (now Thomas T. Taber museum) for many years, Will Huffman believed in the magic of toy trains long before "The Polar Express" movie inspired a generation.
A teacher at Cochran elementary school, Huffman often took his 4th grade classes to visit the extensive collection at Shempp's house, before they became a permanent display at the museum.
In December of 1990, Huffman set up a small train to circle the Christmas tree in the museum's lobby.
"Every Christmas tree should have a train running around it," he said. Carefully dusting the trains in the display cases and sharing his knowledge and love of toy trains with museum visitors over the next year, sparked an idea in Huffman's mind. Why not set up some operating layouts in the museum's community room for the public's enjoyment?
Having been retired for several years, Huffman already had his own basement layout, and knew several friends who also did. He sent out letters to fellow "toy train buffs," secured local businesses to sponsor newspaper ads, arranged for display tables and coordinated with the museum to feature and operate a few trains from the Shempp Collection. The result was an impressive, well-attended exhibition that was enjoyed by many families. A new holiday tradition in Williamsport was born.
Like a punctual 1940s Pennsylvania Railroad passenger train, over the next 15 years the Toy Train Expo chugged into town every December to the Taber Museum.
As the chief engineer, Huffman continued to improve and refine the expo, often beginning the serious planning and preparation in late winter.
The expo has always strived to feature trains of every description, size, shape, make, and model. The willingness of many local toy train enthusiasts to bring in their operating layouts has been the backbone of its success year after year.
One spring, Huffman and fellow toy train buddy Bruce Miller constructed a 33-by-45-inch helix platform, basically a vertical spiral track that ran an auto-reversing gang car. The car would start at the bottom, climb the nine spirals to the top then reverse direction.
It worked great in the basement; however the pair soon realized a small oversight: they had constructed the platform a couple inches larger than the basement doorway opening. After disassembling and putting it back together in the garage, they had a good laugh and a good story.
Miller and Huffman also constructed the popular kids locomotive race platform. Consisting of two separate parallel loops of track running two nearly identical locos, kids could try their hand at seeing who was the fastest engineer.
In 2006, when space became limited at the museum due to a traveling exhibit, the expo found a new home one block east in the recently renovated Park Place building. It also began its association with Preservation Williamsport's Victorian Christmas tradition. Full of "ornate doors and marble floors, rooms, nooks, and crannies" Huffman always liked the idea of showcasing toy and model trains in what was once a premier railroad hotel in the Northeast. The event has remained there ever since.
Over the span of two decades, exhibitors' displays and layouts changed, thousands of visitors experienced the expo and yet Huffman's timeless vision for the event remained the same: "A gift for the community for children of all ages." A chance to "relive a less complicated world of wonder and nostalgia." One person can make a difference, with a single idea, passion, perseverance and help from others.
After Huffman's passing in 2011, it seemed only fitting to rename the premier family event in his memory. His sons, Eric and Bruce, continue the tradition along with "trainloads of help" from numerous dedicated exhibitors, volunteers, donors, sponsors and the support of the community.
The 23rd annual Will Huffman Toy Train Expo will chug back into town this year 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 23 and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday Nov. 24 at Park Place, 800 W. Fourth St. For more info visit toytrainexpo.org.

You can't always explain the whys and hows of a victory. Sometimes, it's just meant to be. That was the case on Saturday afternoon in South Bend, as Notre Dame needed more than 60 minutes to dispose of a very good Stanford team.
It took overtime, two quarterbacks, and perhaps a bit of luck to get to 6-0.
Obviously, it wasn't the prettiest of performances on a day which did not allow for many big offensive plays. Notre Dame didn't make many, but when it did, it was at the right time, just as the team has all season long.
Before moving on to next week's game against BYU, let's take a final look back at the winners and losers from the memorable win over the Cardinal.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Investing for retirement is like going on a long road trip. At first, it seems like you're not making any progress at all. But once you get going, the miles fly by. When you get where you're going, it feels strange to no longer be flying down the highway at top speed.
Similarly, as you get close to retirement, your attitude toward money changes a lot. After spending most of your career investing aggressively in stocks and other high-risk, high-return investments, you'll have to think a little differently during your pre-retirement years. It's crucial to take on some new tasks during the three to five years before you retire.
One of those shifts involves changing your investment strategy. Instead of focusing on doing whatever it takes to build up your nest egg as quickly as possible, you'll need to use those last few years to start gathering the cash you'll need to cover your living expenses after you retire.
You need income
The most difficult adjustment you'll have to make when you retire is losing your paycheck. That source of ready cash every month has kept you from having to tap your investment portfolio over the years, letting you buy stocks aggressively for the long term in order to maximize total return. But once you retire, you'll need to replace at least a big part of that income.
The problem is that many of the stocks you own probably don't provide much income. Take a look at these stocks with good track records:
5-Year Average Return
Dividend yield
Mosaic (NYSE: MOS )
Priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN )
Cabot Oil & Gas (NYSE: COG )
Google (Nasdaq: GOOG )
Polo Ralph Lauren (NYSE: RL )
Source: Yahoo! Finance.
As you can see, many stocks that focus on growth don't pay dividends at all. Others pay only a pittance. That's not going to help you get your bills paid.
Where to get investment income
There are plenty of ways you can branch out to get more income from your portfolio. If you've been using target retirement funds, you probably already have some of your money allocated to bonds. But with interest rates already low, bonds won't be enough to take the place of your income, either.
Some stocks pay sizable dividends that can provide income. But you have to be smart about high-dividend stocks to make sure those payouts won't disappear. Companies like Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC ) and General Electric (NYSE: GE ) have had to slash dividends. Real estate investment trusts have faced similar challenges. They won't provide the whole solution by themselves.
How much you need
The easiest way to generate the cash you'll need in retirement is to liquidate some of your investments in advance. That way, you don't have to worry about whether the market will go against you right when you need to sell. Aim to raise enough cash to pay for several years of expenses, but do so gradually during the last few years of your career. That way, market ups and downs should average out to give you a favorable sale price for your stocks and funds.
When you're figuring out how much cash you'll need, make sure to account for the regular income you'll have, both from your portfolio and from other sources like Social Security and pension payments. That way, you won't have a cash cushion that is too big, and will be able to keep more money invested in assets that will keep growing.
While getting used to the idea that you're about to retire may take some work, it's great when you have the finish line in sight. With just a few simple adjustments, you can get your finances ready to retire with you.

A media member asked Garnett on Friday whether he had moved on from the controversy with Villanueva, which stemmed from a game between the teams Tuesday at The Palace.
"That's a nobody," Garnett said. "I'm not paying attention to nobodies no more."
Villanueva declined to comment Saturday after practice.
The controversy started in the wee hours of Wednesday morning when Villanueva -- via his Twitter account -- accused Garnett of calling him a "cancer patient" during the game Tuesday night. Garnett later in the day released a statement claiming that he had instead told Villaneuva, "You are cancerous to your team and our league."
Villanueva suffers from alopecia, an autoimmune disease that results in hair loss over the entire body.
Celtics coach Doc Rivers backed Garnett and said that he heard Garnett make that specific comment during the game.
Others scoffed, questioning whether Garnett -- one of the biggest trash talkers the league has ever seen -- would use such stilted language.
When told of Garnett's clarification Wednesday, Villanueva stuck to his story, telling media members, "I know exactly what I heard."
The next meeting between the Pistons and Celtics is set for Dec. 29 at The Palace.
Bynum's shoes attract attention
The bright blue shoes Will Bynum wears continue to be a topic of conversation among fans, the media and teammates. McGrady offered his opinion Saturday.
"I find them very disturbing," McGrady said, smiling. "I told him, 'Those Smurf shoes have got to go.'"
Ben Gordon said he likes the shoes. Both Gordon and Bynum said they have similar shoes that are bright red that they plan to break out soon.
Injury update
Villanueva had some back stiffness Saturday, but he is expected to play today against the Warriors. Chris Wilcox (hamstring) remains out of the lineup.

YOU. ARE. LOOKING. LIVE. ... at Cincinnati, Ohio. I have made it here, it is wonderful. I am going to go out stay out of trouble tonight and get ready to cover a football game tomorrow ... now that, is chat time, go ahead with the questions ...
PatWhiteisGod: What do you think WVU's record will be the rest of the way?
Colin Dunlap: I honestly believe (and this is just a gut feeling) that they will be 3-0 or 0-3 the rest of the way in the regular season. I think a win tomorrow night will propel the Mountaineers to a height they will continue to achieve upon the remainder of the regular season, while a loss will deflate them terribly.
WVUPensGuy: Hey Colin, what's the mood like in Cincinnati for the game?
Colin Dunlap: tough to tell right now ... this is a pro town, much like Pittsburgh ... and the UC campus is tucked up in the corner of town in Clifton. Listening to talk radio on the drive in, it seems this town is tremendously more excited about the sunday game between the Bengals and Steelers. That isn't unexpected here ... again, it is a pro town and not like a SEC or Big 12 city at all.
Spacestations_and_Beyonce: Will Coach Stew be on the hot seat if he loses to Pitt and Cincy?
Colin Dunlap: No.
EERME_: Colin if you were Brian Kelly, what QB would you play?
Colin Dunlap: Pretty good question. If I am Brian Kelly, I go with Collaros, there is zero question about it. I liken it to this: Say I am at Mountaineer Casino and I am standing at the roulette table and start taking money from Ted Arneault, I mean really getting hot and taking money from him. Well, I don't move spots at the table, I keep ordering the same drink, I keep playing the same number, and, most of all, I do not change the color chips I am playing with. It is just me, but when you have a groove going -- and I am not a superstitious guy that much -- but when you've got it going, you don't change the variables.
goldnblueblood: Thanks for the award in the Q&A ... haha. I've been feeling for a while that people have overlooked the experience factor when dissecting the Mountaineers. With that said, it's game 10 tomorrow night and the offense has had some missteps lately. If JB gets back to early season form, how likely is a BCS game?
Colin Dunlap: Very likely. But, I would tell all the WVU fans that while it is possible for him to return to early season form, do not expect those same kinds of numbers. People seem to forget he was throwing the ball against LIBERTY AND EAST CAROLINA! A very good performance against UC would be a 220-yard performance.
WVUPensGuy: Can the Mountaineers play a Steeler-like "air out of the ball" power game (burn time, keep that offense off the field), and has the staff shown any inclination to do so?
Colin Dunlap: I think that is what they will have to do to win this game. And, yes, it seemed like that is what they did against Marshall, to a degree, when Geno Smith came in there. I think, to win this game West Virginia would need to rely on guys like Urban and Clarke more than Devine and Austin ... just a hunch.
Mountiefan: Is it just me, or is the O-line the weak link this late in the year. It seems as if the tackles are getting beat upfield on every snap and not allowing Jarret to go through his progressions. Is there anything we can do scheme-wise to help the O-line out?
Colin Dunlap: To me, the interior of the line has been worse than the outside guys.
wvuhomer: Would WVU be better off with Tony Pike in the lineup instead of Zach Collaros?
Colin Dunlap: Ab-so-lutely ... can you say BJ Daniels?
vinWVU: What do you think has to happen for Bill Stewart to officially be on the "hot seat"?
Colin Dunlap: Finish 0-4 and have a bad season next year. ... Do you folks not realize, at this point in his tenure, he has the most wins of ANY West Virginia coach?!?!?!?
goldnblueblood: Wow this thought just hit me like a ton of bricks ... UConn used a power scheme to move the ball up and down the field against Cincinnati. Do you think it would be beneficial to split a larger portion of carries with Ryan Clark and Ricky Kovatch in the I-formation?
Colin Dunlap: It might ... although I like No. 6, Will Johnson, a little more than Kovatch. That said, remember something: UConn has road-grinders on that line. I mean, they have guys who look like those old Boston College, Wisconsin and Nebraska linemen. Big, burly, guys with two knee braces, arms that look like Andre the Giant and a mean streak to match ... WVU does not have those type of linemen. That is the one thing that is a concern -- WVU's linemen are more the agile type than the bulldog type.
Mountiefan: Do you see any chance that we sign Chris Dunkley?
Colin Dunlap: kind of tough when UGa., Fla. and Bama are also going after him....ask those recruiting web site guys, they know everything --- and if they don't they will guess. And then when they get it wrong, there won't be any accountability in their reporting.
MikeWVUalum: Mixed feelings on the Coaching this year. I think the defensive staff is doing a solid job dealing with injuries and lack of playmakers and athletes on that side of the ball. On offense and I think we are over coaching and dont have an identity. What is our best play? What are we good at? Too many formations, too many different plays. Spreading the ball is not a offensive scheme. What do you think?
Colin Dunlap: I would agree with you that there is a lot of presnap stuff going on. I have sometimes said that it is like the kid who brings the Crayola box to kindergarten with 124 crayons in it when, really, you probably only need like 12. Tomorrow night, I think we might see a shrinking of the playbook.
goldnblueblood: This is more of a prognostication but do you think the recruitment of guys like Shawne Alston and Chris Snook, the slimming down of Ryan Clark, and recruiting bigger more physical lineman are indications of Stewarts desire to build a better power game for next year and forward?
Colin Dunlap: Yes. Big, tall linemen like Pat Eger and the kid they got from the state of West Virginia who is also a redshirt this season.
WVUer21: Colin, it seems that for most of this decade, whenever WVU is considered a huge underdog, they always seem to rise up and win a big game every season ('02 VT, '03VT, Sugar Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, etc.). Do you think that tomorrow night just seems to be another of these situations?
Colin Dunlap: I do know this: Since the interim tag was removed from Bill's name, this is the opportunity to get his signature win.
WVUPensGuy: Honestly, where did the perception that a good head coach has to be a histrionic, f-bombing egomaniac in order to have any kind of success?
Colin Dunlap: When ESPN started putting microphones on coaches and showing them dressing kids down.
wvuhomer: Cincy likes to throw quick passes and make their receivers make yards after the catch, with that being said who needs to step up their game on Friday night?
Colin Dunlap: the 3-backers...also, expect to see a lot of Anthony Leonard in that LB corp. I think he is an athletic kid who can hit those WRs across the middle and run with them. That said, Sands better show up if WVU has ANY chance at winning.
vinWVU: What is your prediction for the game tomorrow night?
Colin Dunlap: I am going to snake my way into two of them ... either UC big, or, if it is close, WVU wins. So ... UC 41-21 ... or WVU 31-28 it really depends on where that combined score total is. The first 8 minutes will tell you everything you need to know.
WVMule: By my count 8 Mountaineers are injured going into the game. Stew fibs about injuries...so who can we expect to play Friday night and how close to 100% are Devine and Neild?
Colin Dunlap: Neild is in better shape than Devine ... If I had to put a number on it, Devine would be 70 percent, Neild 85. Alright ... time for a handful more.
thrillwvu: It's amazing how a 7-2 can make a person feel like they are 2-7. What can the current staff do, in your opinion, to shake the perception that this team is "going through the motions"?
Colin Dunlap: winning more than they lose would be nice ... oh, wait, they already do that -- by more than a 3-1 margin. And that still isn't good enough. Who knows?
Mountainman: Colin, is the week off after this game good for WVU?
Colin Dunlap: I will be able to answer this at about 11:30 p.m. tomorrow. If the Mountaineers win, it is kind of a bad thing, as I am certain they'd want to keep rolling ... if they lose, it will be a good thing.
WVMule: I'm ending my self-imposed media exile to participate in your chat. Give the struggles of the offensive line (I realize they are young) and their poor performance in games past...they seem to have regressed instead of progressed. Do you think that position coach Dave Johnson needs to be replaced in the off season?
Colin Dunlap: Not at all. Not even close to the weakest link on the coaching staff. And, Mule, why do you have a media-blackout?
Paul_Alexander_s_Man_Tan: Best place to eat in Morgantown?
Colin Dunlap: That mexican place by the Starbucks near the hospital. I smash the grub there on Tuesdays sometimes.
WVUer21: Colin, do you think Reed has a realistic shot at the Wuerfull Trophy, going up ESPN stars like Shipley at Texas?
Colin Dunlap: I don't think ... The real question is this: When the heck did Danny Wuerffel get a trophy named after him? Alright ... one more.
WVMule: Because ... the newspapers depress me, the boards anger me, and my wife has been reading the BGN free boards and now thinks Stew should go.
Colin Dunlap: Well, there you have it ... it is all the fault of the stinking media. I have a remedy: Everything you read on those message boards, slice that into about 1-100th and take that much as truth. After that, slice that number in half ... that is about how much is, really, the truth. It is funny sometimes, reading the comments, to see how people get so worked up over things that have so little real impact on their lives. Sorry that the newspaper depresses you ... I hope it isn't as bad as the local news. Well, folks, I have to run, have a city to conquer. Later.

A staffing agency in Florida is accused of attempting to subvert the new personal injury protection bill.
Florida's legislature has been greatly concerned about the amount of insurance fraud in the state. Under the current law, any time a driver gets into an auto accident, insurance companies must pay medical expenses regardless of fault. The result has been a surge of fraudulent claims, particularly from chiropractors, to insurance companies. Florida insurance rates are accordingly extremely high.
To combat this problem, the Florida legislature passed a revised law in the hopes of reducing fraud. The law has not yet gone in to effect, however, as it is awaiting a signature from the Governor.
A Tampa staffing agency just sent out fliers to chiropractors advocating the placement of doctors in chiropractic offices to help identify "emergencies" and accordingly allow the offices to continue collecting insurance monies.
The flier, read, "Chiropractors. Don't miss out on your $7,500. We Have The Medical Doctors You Need."
The advertisement has spurred outrage from many in the legislature.
Representative Jim Boyd said, "the governor hasn't even signed the bill yet and some firm is sending this thing around? It's very brazen and I think action will be taken if someone is trying to do something that is not acceptable."
Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty reported, "it is disheartening to learn that unscrupulous actors are already developing methods to circumvent this good law before it has even been presented to the governor."
The Department of Health and the Division of Insurance Fraud said that they would look into the matter.

Frantic sandbagging efforts are under way in Jean Lafitte as the town seeks to stem a surge from Barataria Bay with Isaac bearing down on the Jefferson Parish town.
Volunteers and employees from the parish Public Works Department worked under rainy conditions as the first bands of the storm passed through the area.
Jefferson Parish President John Young said the parish has deployed personnel and resources to help in the fight, including sandbags, Hesco baskets and temporary pumps at strategic locations in the Lafitte, Crown Point and Barataria communities.
"Our priority down here is protecting against storm surge," Young said. "We do this every time there's a storm."
Jean Lafitte Mayor Tim Kerner said, "It looks like we're getting everything up."
He said today's protection efforts should shield the community from storm surges of 5 1/2 to 6 feet.

BAY CITY, MI — CNNMoney has named Bay City among the top 10 most affordable small cities in the country, but with the recent uptick in development, including Mill End Lofts and Uptown Bay City, Mayor Chris Shannon said that title may not stick for long.
"I think we're a community that's generally turning the corner, I'm hoping, from the days of decline," he said.
"Bay City in the near future may not be so affordable, so take advantage of it now."
CNNMoney reports Bay City, which took the No. 8 spot on the list, has a median home price of $75,000 and a median income of $56,100, making 92.1 percent of homes sold affordable.
Monroe, Mich., also appears on the list at No. 3. Kokomo, Ind., is No. 1 on the list.
See the complete list and learn more about the top 10 most affordable small cities online at money.cnn.com.
Shannon shared his theory as to why Bay City made it onto the list of the nation's most affordable small cities.
"The reasons for it are stemming from population loss," he said.
"(According to the 2010 Census) Michigan, out of all 50 states, had the dubious distinction of (being) the only state that lost population," Shannon said. "Now, Bay City is part of that equation. We also lost population and we have lost population every Census for decades."
Shannon said Bay City has a "great legacy of being a tremendous manufacturing community," but some industries have left, along with jobs.
"What the result is is that you've got a housing stock with less people and it's the simple economics of supply and demand that are driving down the cost," he said.
On a positive note, Shannon said Bay City has great neighborhoods, historic districts and "some of the best examples of Victorian architecture in the country."
Bob Adamowski, chief executive officer of the Bay County Realtor Association, wasn't surprised by the news.
"We have been saying that for years that the Bay City area is by far one of the most affordable cities in the country," Adamowski said. "And its nice to see that somebody like CNN is finally agreeing with us."
"You're comfortable here, the cost of living is lower, the cost of housing is lower, and it's just been a great community to live in and to work in."
But Bay City's appeal goes beyond its affordability, Adamowski said.
"Not only do we feel that the Bay City area is one of the most affordable areas, it's one of the safest and one of the most well run communities of any place that I've ever been to," he said, noting that he often travels. "You always look forward to coming back to Bay City."
Shannon agreed that Bay City has much to offer beyond affordable housing.
Related: See Bay City real estate listings on Mlive.com here.
"We have great churches, schools, we have great arts and culture … great festivals, incredible community volunteers that make all these things happen," he said. "Just a great place to live and work and play and raise a family."
Michael Seward, president and chief executive officer of the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, said this ranking could help attract new people to the community.
"When you can compare us to all of the other cities our size ... and see that we are one of the eight most affordable of all of those cities it means that people may look to us more closely as a place to locate in and that's a very positive thing," he said.

BROADVIEW HEIGHTSAward-winning artist Sally Heston has had a watercolor painting selected for the 34th annual Juried Ohio Watercolor Society Exhibition, "Watercolor Ohio 2011," at the Zanesville Museum of Art.
Heston, president of the board of trustees of the Cuyahoga Valley Art Center, is an accomplished painter and teacher. Her career spans four decades and includes work experience in a variety of mediums and content in both public and private schools.
She holds a number of degrees, including a master's degree in education in art from the University of Pittsburgh with a concentration in painting. She also has had several solo exhibits. Her work is included in collections locally and throughout the United States and Europe.
Heston has a large studio and a basement work area in her Broadview Heights home that she shares with her husband, Newt, and one small dog. They are the parents of two grown children.
Her selected painting, "Morning at the Mission," is a loose-style watercolor using a soft, pastel-tone palette. It was one of 237 entries, of which 65 were chosen for the exhibition. The show opens Sept. 17 and runs through Nov. 23.
The juror of selection and awards is Mel Stabin of New Jersey, an internationally known teacher, author, and award-winning watercolorist.
Heston said she can't remember a time when she didn't want to paint. She currently serves as a member of the faculty at Virginia Marti College of Art and Design in Lakewood, and also teaches drawing and painting classes at the Cuyahoga Valley Art Center in Cuyahoga Falls.
She is a native of western Pennsylvania.

Ian McKellen Will Officiate Patrick Stewart's Wedding
Well this is just awesome.
On last Saturday's episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, Ian McKellan shared the news that he'd be officiating the wedding between Patrick Stewart and his partner, Sunny Ozell. Here's how it went down:
Sir Ian McKellen: Yes, I'm going to marry Patrick. Well, no. How else do you put that? I am going to officiate at his wedding.
Jonathan Ross: So how come you're legally allowed to do that?
Sir Ian McKellen: Well I don't know, but in Massachusetts, in the middle of America somewhere, you get a friend along, and I read out the words, and Sunny and Patrick will then be married. "I declare you man and wife."
Jonathan Ross: Have you had this experience with this kind of thing?
Sir Ian McKellen:I've done it once before with two guys having a civil partnership. I was crying my eyes out.
Jonathan Ross: Here in the U.K.?
Sir Ian McKellen: Oh, I was crying my eyes out. But what do you wear when you officiate at a wedding?
Jonathan Ross: Well what did you go with [last time]?
Sir Ian McKellen: Well last time I went with a white gown, something I bought in India. It was rather fetching. You mustn't upstage the bride.
Charming! The whole interview is worth a watch, though — Matt "The Doctor" Smith and Ian McKellen's budding friendship was on display, and Ross aired McKellen's very first television appearance on the BBC:
- The Clinton campaign is trying to stop television stations from running a pro-Trump ad featuring Michelle Obama.
- A federal jury cleared the leaders of an Oregon standoff. The militia group took over a wildlife refuge last January.
- Countries from around the world have agreed that the Ross Sea in Antarctica will become the world's largest marine protected area.

Conditions remain virtually the same for western Massachusetts heading through our Sunday evening...overcast skies, breezy, but still staying dry. So far, winds have been generally around 10 to 15 mph, with an occasional gust up to 25 mph...nothing out of the ordinary yet. A few sprinkles are trying to develop over the eastern Massachusetts, but nothing is expected to significantly materialize until Monday morning. Winds continue to gradually increase overnight.
Hurricane Sandy is still expected to make landfall near Atlantic City, NJ late Monday night. It will then move westward through the Philadelphia area before turning northward and stalling out over central Pennsylvania through Tuesday and Wednesday.
The "peak" of the storm for western Massachusetts...heaviest rain and strongest wind...is expected between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Monday.
Rain from this storm will be with us starting Monday, with heavy, steady pockets at times. In total, expect a general 2 - 3 inches in the Springfield area through Tuesday, with isolated higher amounts possible, especially towards the Berkshires. The steadiest rain is expected Monday evening.
Sustained winds will reach 30-35 mph on Monday, with gusts up to 50 mph possible in the Springfield area...60 mph in the hilltowns. The winds should ease up a little bit for the remainder of the storm, eventually dropping to a breezy 15-25 mph by the end of the day Tuesday. The persistent rain eventually comes to an end on Wednesday, although scattered showers will stick around as this storm lingers/dissipates through Friday.
Scattered power outages are possible, although it should not be quite as widespread across western Massachusetts as last year's October Nor'easter. Minor flooding is likely this week in the typically-prone places; low-lying areas, urban areas, underpasses and near creeks and streams. Washed out roadways are also a possibility over hilly terrain.
Much of the damage by last year's Tropical Storm Irene was caused by flooding, while the main concern for this storm will be focused on wind damage.
Tonight: Cloudy, but mainly dry, winds gust up to 30 mph, low 50.
Monday: Nor'easter conditions, wind and rain, strongest between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., high 58.
Tuesday: Nor'easter conditions, breezy and rainy, winds begin dying down, high 60.
Wednesday: Cloudy, scattered showers, a little breezy, high 59.

The starting lineup is filled with veterans. There are seniors Nicole Michael, Vionca Murray and Juanita Ward, plus juniors Erica Morrow and Tasha Harris. Together, they have about a dozen years of experience beginning basketball games for Syracuse.
But with the team off to a 13-1 start this season, part of the reason for such success can be found in three newcomers to the program. Freshmen Kayla Alexander, Carmen "CTT" Tyson-Thomas and Elashier "Lacey" Hall have played in every game, averaging between 16.7 and 18.9 minutes per contest and combining for 20.8 points and 15.6 rebounds per outing.
None of it comes as a surprise to head coach Quentin Hillsman, who saw the need for their immediate impact with the departure of leading scorer (16.9) and rebounder (8.8) Chandrea Jones, who graduated last year.
"When we brought those three in, we knew they would have to step up and play right away," Hillsman said. "So, we didn't give them any chance to wait. We threw them right into the fire. We weren't going to tell them to sit back and watch Erica, sit back and watch Slinky (Michael), sit back and watch Vionca."
If you ask Tyson-Thomas, there's been little time for sitting since arriving in August from the suburbs of her home town of Philadelphia.
"You've got to run like crazy," she said, laughing, of preseason conditioning drills. "It's a big leap from high school to college. There are bigger players, stronger players, a different attitude. But I like it here. I'm very comfortable."
Her rebounding tenacity (5.9 per game) has quickly earned her comparisons to Jones. Both are 5-foot-9 guard/forwards who have the uncanny ability to find the ball no matter where they are on the court when it comes off the rim.
"When Chandrea left, we said we had to find a way to pick up her points collectively, but we needed Carmen to come in and get five rebounds a game. And that's what she's doing," Hillsman said.
Tyson-Thomas, who turns 19 on Sunday, credited it all to the love of defense.
"I get that comparison to Chandrea a lot, but I just love to rebound," she said. "I've been working really hard on my defense. I haven't done much yet (offensively), but Coach (Rick) Moody stresses defense all the time."
Averaging 2.8 points and 3.8 rebounds, Hall also hasn't packed the stat sheets yet, but Hillsman said her contributions are less defined by numbers than playing ability.
"Lacey has a high basketball IQ and she understands everything that's going on," Hillsman said of the 5-11 wing from Greenbelt, Md. "She understands where she is supposed to be on the floor. Her stat line doesn't always reflect it, but she's never out of position and she doesn't blow assignments. She's a very versatile basketball player."
Hall, who tried softball, cheerleading and even boxing before gravitating to basketball, said strong defense has earned her playing time. With patience, she said, she also will be able to display her offensive skills, which revolve around dribble-drives to the basket.
When asked whether she has practiced her fighting skills against Hillsman, a boxer in his younger days, she offered up a smile and a verbal jab:
"Ahh, he's not ready for me yet."
The most visible statement being made by the three freshman has come from Alexander, the 6-4, long-armed center from Milton, Ont. She is averaging 13.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and nearly two blocked shots per outing. She has scored in double figures 10 times, with highs of 23 in points and 13 in rebounds.
While Hillsman is elated with the true center's game-changing presence, her biggest compliment may have come from Georgetown coach Terri Williams-Flournoy following the Hoyas' 83-81 overtime victory in the Carrier Dome last week.
"I wish Kayla was on our team," she said. "We recruited her. She can dominate any game. She's big, she's tall, she's a great player."
Despite such praise, Alexander, who has scored 17 and 18 points in her first two Big East games, said she is still adjusting to the aggressive nature of conference play. And she sees room for improvement.
"It's very physical and intense," she said following the Georgetown game, in which she made 7-of-11 shots, blocked two attempts and forced Williams-Flournoy to counter with a 6-6 freshman who had played in only one game.
"I don't think that my first game was terrible," Alexander said, "but there is still a lot that I need to work on."
When she and Hall and Tyson-Thomas do fine tune their games, it may be time for opponents to look out. Given that they are only freshmen, the trio has a large upside to their futures.

Which of the following is a function of those spindle microtubules that do not attach to kinetochores?
maintaining the region of overlap of fibers in the cell's center
Nucleotides can be radiolabeled before they are incorporated into newly forming DNA and can therefore be assayed to track their incorporation. In a set of experiments, a student-faculty research team used labeled T nucleotides and introduced these into the culture of dividing human cells at specific times.
41) Which of the following questions might be answered by such a method?
What is the length of the S phase of the cell cycle?
The research team used the setup to study the incorporation of labeled nucleotides into a culture of lymphocytes and found that the lymphocytes incorporated the labeled nucleotide at a significantly higher level after a pathogen was introduced into the culture. They concluded that
infection causes lymphocytes to divide more rapidly.

This new line of test kits measures flows in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. "We used to have a barrel-shaped scale that the user read as it moved with the cylinder," says Rich Little, the chief mechanical engineer at Hedland Flow Meters. "You could get different readings depending on how you looked at it," he says. The new flow meters have scales that are easier to read because they are fixed and have larger viewing areas. "We also improved the accuracy of the meters to±2% by tightening up our spring specifications and improving the tolerances in our cylinder pistons," says Little.
The hydraulic test kits measure pressure up to 6,000 psi at flows up to 150 gpm. Pneumatic kits measure pressures up to 600 psi at flows up to 1,000 scfm. All kits install in any position and do not require special piping or flow straighteners. Port sizes from¼to 1½inches are available in aluminum, stainless steel, and brass. In addition to verifying flow rates in trucking applications, the test kits also check pump and compressor performance, measure pressure drops, balance multi-line systems, and locate line restrictions in plastic injection molders, steel mills, and machine tools. The kits can be used as permanent monitoring devices and troubleshooting tools and are compatible with petroleum fluids, phosphate esters, water-based fluids, and compressed gases.

AGAWAM — William C. Walls Jr. greeted several hundred people Monday at the Massachusetts Veterans' Memorial Cemetery in Agawam by welcoming them to "this hallowed ground where Memorial Day and Veterans Day are celebrated every day."
Walls, director of the Massachusetts Veterans' Memorial Cemeteries, spoke as the wind caused the thousands of small flags decorating graves to gently fly.
Charles H. Rucks, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, gave the Memorial Day address, saying many of the service men and women who did not die on battlefields succumbed to service-related injuries later.
He said in addition to honoring those who lost their lives in the service, people must "take appropriate care of their comrades who served."
"Not all fatal wounds are visible," Rucks said, citing suicide among veterans struggling with "their demons" as well as veterans who are homeless.
At one point in the program, each military branch's song was played, and during the song members of that branch were asked to stand.
State Rep. Benjamin Swan, D-Springfield, said honoring veterans must be more than accolades, "Taps," speeches and "honoring Old Glory." He said he recently met with a chapter of American Veterans in Prison at the Massachusetts Correctional Institute in Shirley, a minimum security facility.
Swan said the men "have made mistakes," but are banding together to help themselves and others in the prison.
He said he pledged to them to understand and support the special needs of veterans in prison.
Springfield Mayor Domenic J. Sarno said veterans he has known continue to give back to their communities when their military service days are over.

Chicken wings are to the Super Bowl what turkey is to Thanksgiving: the essential poultry part. On Sunday, Feb. 2, about 1.2 billion wings are expected to be consumed as Americans gather to watch the Seattle Chickenhawks battle those guys from Denver whom I think are named after horses.
It wasn't always this way. Fifty years ago, the first chicken wings as we know them -- deep-fried and drenched in a sauce of melted butter and Frank's Red Hot Sauce, with a side of celery and blue cheese -- emerged from the kitchen of the Anchor Bar & Restaurant in Buffalo, N.Y. Thus the name: Buffalo Chicken Wings.
Chicken wings sold for pennies, and were considered good for soup and not much else. But a case of wings was accidentally delivered to the modest bar on Main Street.Teressa Bellissimo, who owned the bar with husband Frank, came up with the snack. The harmony of flavors resonated, around the world.
How ubiquitous are wings? My friend Cindy confesses that until a couple of years ago when a friend came over with raw ingredients to cook, she thought chicken wings came from small chickens. She didn't realize they were cut from a three-part wing. She only ever purchased frozen drumettes. (The term "drumette" didn't exist 50 years ago, either; the center piece is the "flat" or "wingette" and the tip is, well, the "tip.")
The birth of the wing is told as part of a new independent comic documentary, "The Great Chicken Wing Hunt." It was released last week in some theaters and most in-demand platforms. (I watched it on my iPad.)
Director Matt Reynolds, who is from wing country, AKA upstate New York, conceived the project in Slovenia, where he was working as a journalist. He brings his girlfriend and a Slovak crew to his home state and recruits online a crazy cast of judges, including a Hawaiian chef based in Prague. This group drags around New York state on a grueling 16-day quest to evaluate wings at 72 restaurants and bars, which is highly entertaining. Along the way, they visit the Anchor Bar and interview Dom Zanghi, now deceased, who was the last living witness to the creation of the Buffalo wing.
I never realized until I watched the documentary that the heat of the wing is one of its primary reasons to exist (duh - why do you think they call them "hot wings," Judy?). The documentarians claim that the creators, the Bellissimos, liked heat because they were Sicilian. Frank's Red Hot, the main sponsor of the documentary, has profited mightily, but other Buffalo sauce brands and hot sauces are in on plenty of the action. And sauce variations abound; there are whole wing restaurants, featuring dozens of flavors of chicken wings.
In home kitchens, wings are often baked. Crispiness, another essential factor, can be developed in the oven. A popular Bon Appetit recipe calls for baking them 45-50 minutes at 400 degrees, but another online recipe calls for parboiling the wings before roasting them, which makes sense to me. As in roasting duck, the process rids the wings of some of the fat.
Prepared frozen chicken wings are, not surprisingly, inferior to the real deal. For Super Bowl 2014, the Lehigh Valley (Pennsylvania) food section tested five kinds of frozen chicken wings to find the best one. Results were mediocre to bad.
You'll just have to make your own.
This recipe from Bon Appetit makes a party's worth of wings and has two variations for flavoring, a ginger-soy glaze and a traditional cayenne-vinegar sauce one. If you want, parboil the wings first in a big pot of boiling, seasoned water for 8 or 9 minutes, then pat them dry before proceeding with the recipe. To save this to your Recipe Box, click here.
Crispy Baked Chicken Wings
Makes about 60
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 large garlic cloves, crushed
2x1inch piece of ginger, peeled, sliced
5 pounds chicken wings, tips removed, drumettes and flats separated
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
To make buffalo sauce: Mix first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl; let stand for 5 minutes. Whisk in hot sauce; keep warm. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 week ahead. Let cool completely; cover and chill. Rewarm before using.
To make Ginger-Soy glaze: Bring all ingredients and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve honey. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1/4 cup, 7-8 minutes. Strain into a medium bowl. Let sit for 15 minutes to thicken slightly. DO AHEAD: Can be made 5 days ahead. Cover; chill. Rewarm before using.
To make wings: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Set a wire rack inside each of 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Place all ingredients in a large bowl; toss to coat. Divide wings between prepared racks and spread out in a single layer.
Bake wings until cooked through and skin is crispy, 45-50 minutes.
Line another rimmed baking sheet with foil; top with a wire rack. Add half of wings to ginger-soy glaze and toss to evenly coat. Place wings in a single layer on prepared rack and bake until glaze is glossy and lightly caramelized, 8-10 minutes.
Toss remaining half of wings in Buffalo sauce. Serve immediately (no need to bake).
Several years ago, Frank's and Kraft Kitchens combined Buffalo flavors in a cheesy dip, and it's been a constant at Super Bowl parties ever since. To save this to your Recipe Box, click here.

Emeril Lagasse has had numerous chicken wing recipes in his cookbooks and on his popular website. This one is from his latest book, "Emeril's Cooking with Power" (Harper Collins). The wings are breaded and deep-fried, and Emeril specifies Louisiana or Crystal Hot Sauce to be used with the chipotle sauce, which is kicked up further with lime juice.

Smokin' Chipotle Chicken Wings
Makes 4 to 6 servings
4 pounds chicken wings, rinsed and patted dry
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
5 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
3 tablespoons Louisiana hot sauce, such as Crystal or Original Louisiana Hot Sauce
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
Separate the chicken wings into drumettes and wingettes, discarding the wing tips (or save those for stock). Place the chicken wing pieces in a large resealable plastic food storage bag and add the flour, salt, and pepper. Shake the bag until the wings are well coated, and then transfer the wings and the remaining flour to a large baking sheet. Allow the chicken to sit for about 1 hour, tossing the wings occasionally in the extra flour on the baking sheet.
Combine the melted butter, chipotle chiles, adobo sauce, hot sauce, and lime juice in a blender. On a cutting board, use the side of a chef's knife to mash the garlic with the kosher salt to form a paste. Add the garlic paste to the blender, and process until the chipotle butter sauce is very smooth. Transfer the sauce to a small saucepan and cover to keep it warm until you are ready to serve the chicken.
Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees. Position a wire rack over a paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
Working in batches, shake the wings to remove any excess flour, and fry them until golden brown and crispy, 12 to 14 minutes. As they are cooked, transfer the wings to the wire rack to drain briefly, and then put them in a heat-proof mixing bowl and drizzle with some of the chipotle butter sauce. Toss until the wings are thoroughly coated. Any sauce left in the saucepan can be served with the wings for dipping.
Many recipes claim to be "original Buffalo chicken wings." This one comes from "Great Lake Effects" by the Junior League of Buffalo, N.Y. Since it's a Junior League cookbook, the essential Blue Cheese Dressing is made from scratch. To save this to your Recipe Box, click here.
Original Buffalo Chicken Wings
Makes 20-25
20 -25 chicken wings
2 cups vegetable oil
1/4 cup melted butter
1 (3 ounce) bottle Louisiana hot sauce
Blue Cheese Dressing
Makes 3-1/2 cups
2 cups mayonnaise
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1/4-1/2 cup cold water
Disjoint the chicken wings and discard the tips. Rinse and pat dry. The wings must be completely dry to fry properly since there is no batter or breading.
Preheat the oil in a deep fryer or a large deep pan to 365 degrees.
Add the chicken wings a few at a time to the hot oil. Do not allow the oil to cool as the chicken is added. Deep-fry for 6-10 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Drain well by shaking in the fryer basket or a strainer.
Blend the butter with 1/2 bottle of hot sauce for medium-hot wings. Add additional hot sauce for hotter wings or additional butter for milder wings.
Combine the wings and the hot sauce in a large container. Let stand, covered.
Serve the chicken wings with Bleu Cheese Dressing and celery sticks.
To make Blue Cheese Dressing: Combine mayonnaise, vinegar, dry mustard, pepper, and salt in a large bowl and beat until well blended. Mix in the blue cheese.
Add enough cold water gradually to make the dressing of the desired consistency, whisking constantly.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
