I am so sad. My DD is only 3 weeks old and I may have to give up BFing already. She BF's for a bit and then falls alseep...I try everything to wake her... put her down... she screams... then I BF her for a second and she falls back to sleep.....put her down... scream.....On and on and on this pattern goes(always miserable). Finally one night DH gave her a bottle of formula. She ate 3 oz AFTER I BF her. So now, when she doesn't seem content, we supplement with formula. I was hoping we could keep it to just nights(when she was most upset) However it has been during the day too. I believe I have enough supply, even when she feeds for awhile I still leak some sometimes when she is done. She also is gaining weight and having the right amount of wet/dirty diapers(we have only been supplementing the last two days). She just never seemed satisfied because she falls asleep.
DH does not understand why I am so upset. I just feel like it is the beginning of phasing out BFing KWIM? I have a 6 yr old that was formula fed. Had I known then, what I know now, I would not have given up so easily. Now DH keeps saying other DD was FF she turned out fine. (that is NOT the only reason I wouldn't have given up)DH says that continuing to BF just because I will look back and wish I hadn't given up so easily is no reason(or not the right reason) to keep at it. I honestly don't get that. Regretting it for the rest of my life is not reason enough to keep trying?
I feel like by supplementing my supply will go down. Then when she is awake more it won't be there. How much longer will this 'constant' sleep last? It is my second, but I honestly don't remember. Can I build it(my supply) up at that point?
I really don't want to give this up, I keep thinking if I stick with it will get easier. However DH is past ready to give formula constantly. ( he does not pester about it though)
I just don't know what to do... One up side to formula, I actually got to see her awake without her screaming, how nice that was. That part definately makes me happy. I don't want her hungry.
Sorry this is so long... thanks for listening.

Call it a case of duelling headlines.
For the past few days, a highly personal and often below-the-sash battle has been waged in Italy between two newspapers — Il Giornale, owned by the family of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, and Avvenire, the daily of the Italian Bishops Conference. The generals in the battle, which has riveted Italy and has resulted in one of the worst periods for years in relations between church and state here, are the editors-in-chief Vittorio Feltri of Il Giornale and Dino Boffo of Avvenire.

THEFT, SPICEBUSH LANE: A former Stanley Steemer employee was arrested within several hours of a woman reporting that she'd discovered more than $3,100 worth of jewelry missing from her home after having her carpets cleaned the morning of Jan. 23. Police also recovered the jewelry in question — including an $800 diamond pendant and a 14K gold and diamond anniversary ring — from a company truck while parked in front of the police station as the North Ridgeville man, 20, was being interviewed by police.
THEFT FROM VEHICLE, SPRINGSIDE LANE: Shortly after a resident reported Jan. 25 that about $550 worth of personal belongings had been stolen from his unlocked car parked at home overnight, police received a call from a Portage County detective informing them a stolen vehicle had been recovered with items inside that appeared to have been taken from Solon. Police said it appears the victim will be getting most if not all of his items returned to him, including his blood pressure medication, vitamins, cell phone, bag, flashlight, calculator and seven books, including two bibles.
THEFT FROM VEHICLE, BAINBRIDGE ROAD: A Twinsburg woman, 29, reported Jan. 27 that four days earlier, someone had entered her unlocked car while it was parked at Solon Freeway Lanes and stolen $1,450 worth of items, including Beachwood Place gift cards, a portable hard drive, a Canon digital camera, and a $150 pair of Kate Spade sunglasses.
THEFT FROM VEHICLE/BURGLARY, TRACY LANE: A resident returning to a house up for sale on the afternoon of Jan. 25 found someone had gone through the unlocked Ford Explorer parked in her driveway, removing $110 in cash. She then discovered the lock box used by realtors had been left open, and someone had taken about $600 in jewelry out of a bedroom as well.
THEFT, INWOOD ROAD: Detectives are following up with coaches from the Cleveland John Adams High School wrestling team, at least one of whom a Garfield Heights wrestler, 15, believes stole his $400 iPhone at a tournament hosted by Solon High on Jan. 23. The victim reported he set the iPhone down on a folding chair as he went out to warm up on the mat, after which he saw various members of the John Adams squad move over and swarm around the chair, after which the phone was gone. The victim also reported finding his earphones that had been attached a short time later over near the bleachers — but no iPhone.
ATTEMPTED THEFT, AURORA ROAD: A worker at D&R Bagels reported Jan. 25 the previous day, she had received a suspicious phone call from someone claiming to be from The Illuminating Co., telling her the business owed a past-due electric bill totaling $833. Knowing this was not the case, she put a supervisor on the line, then called CEI to speak with a representative there, who confirmed it was a scam. Police were told the callers had what sounded like thick mid-Eastern accents.
CRIMINAL MISCHIEF, SHERWOOD PARK DRIVE: A couple reported Jan. 25 over the previous night, someone had rifled through both of their cars, leaving personal belongings such as CDs thrown about, although it appeared that neither car had anything missing from it. The couple wanted police to be aware of the incident.
DRUG ABUSE, SOM CENTER ROAD: A Twinsburg man, 18, and his male passenger, 17, also from Twinsburg were charged early Jan. 27 after police clocked them traveling 20 miles over the speed limit, first in a 25-mph zone, then a 35-mph zone. Upon pulling them over near Pettibone Road, police detected a strong odor of what smelled like marijuana, finding about 4 grams in a decoy Red Bull can with a false bottom for storage, as well as three capsules of suspected Adderall in the driver's pocket, for which police said he did not appear to have a prescription. The driver was also charged with speeding and possession of drug abuse paraphernalia.
MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT/DRUG ABUSE, U.S. 422: A Warren man, 19, was cited for failure to maintain reasonable control of a motor vehicle at mid-morning on Jan. 27 after his car left the eastbound lanes of the freeway and slammed into a tree. Upon arrival, police detected a strong smell of burnt marijuana and later found more than an ounce separated into two bags stuffed into a pillow. A passenger in the car, a Warren woman, 36, was also cited.
SHOPLIFTING, ROUTES 43 & 91: Several people were arrested over the past week while attempting to shoplift merchandise from Giant Eagle, including a Solon man, 58, who actually paid for several items going through the self-checkout on Jan. 27, but was also found to have more than $33 worth of unpaid goods, including vitamins, stuffed in his coat pocket.
An Aurora woman, 67, was arrested in the early afternoon of Jan. 25 after she was observed allegedly loading more than $62 in unpaid ,merchandise into Giant Eagle shopping bags, including egg salad and chocolate truffles.
An Aurora man, 46, was arrested in the late morning on Jan. 24 as he was placing more than $50 worth of unpaid items in large cloth shopping bags.
A Cleveland man, 59, was arrested just after noon on Jan. 23 when he allegedly placed more than $76 worth of merchandise in a shopping cart, put a shirt over it to conceal it, and leave the store without paying for it.
THEFT, SOM CENTER ROAD: A Chagrin Falls woman reported on the evening of Jan. 24 she realized she had not placed her purse in her trunk. as she thought she had, after shopping at Marc's Supermarket and must have left it in the store. Subsequent checks with store management indicated the purse, containing about $87 as well as credit cards, had not been turned in and was probably stolen. Police said the credit cards did not appear to have been used.
UNDERAGE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL, WINCHESTER DRIVE: Police responded on the evening of Jan. 26 to a report of a man, 18, arguing with his parents. He was gone upon their initial arrival, but returned a short time later on foot, at which point police noted that he had been drinking and was cited accordingly, after registering a .120 BAC on the Breathalyzer, well over the legal limit of .08 BAC for which motorists — over the age of 21 — are arrested.
DRUNK DRIVING, CROMWELL DRIVE: A Solon man, 36, was pulled over for several lane violations on Jan. 27 and arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. He registered over the legal limit of .08 BAC on the Breathalyzer.

New Britain, CT (WBNG Binghamton) The Binghamton Mets matched a season-high with 15 hits and Jenrry Mejia struck out eight over six innings in a 10-2 victory over the New Britain Rock Cats on Saturday night at New Britain Stadium. Cesar Puello doubled twice and drove in three runs to lead a B-Mets offensive attack that saw every player collect at least one hit.
Mejia had a two-run cushion before he even threw his first pitch. Danny Muno got the attack against Rock Cats starter Trevor May started immediately by leading off the game with a one-hop double off the right-field wall. Puello brought him home by skipping an RBI single past Eddie Rosario at second base. After swiping second, his 22nd stolen base of the year, Puello scored when Rhyne Hughes blistered a two-out RBI single up the middle.
Binghamton hung another crooked number on the scoreboard in the second. After surrendering a pair of singles, May fired a breaking ball to the backstop that allowed Wilfredo Tovar to score from third. Allan Dykstra lined an RBI single to right, stretching Binghamton's lead to four.
The B-Mets took advantage of more erratic throwing and sloppy fielding in the third. Following a two-out walk to Xorge Carrillo, center-fielder Danny Ortiz prolonged the inning by dropping a fly ball. May walked Muno and bounced another wild pitch, allowing Carrillo to score.
Mejia set the tone in his second rehab appearance with the B-Mets by retiring the first eight batters he faced. The right-hander side-stepped a bunt single and a walk in a scoreless third and worked around a one-out single in a shutout fourth.
May surrendered a double and struck out two before getting pulled in the middle of the fourth inning, suffering his shortest outing as a Rock Cat. Reliever Bruce Pugh collected the final out of the frame, but struggled to find the strike zone in the fifth. Carrillo blasted a double to left-center and strolled around the bases with Binghamton's sixth run as Pugh walked three straight batters.
The B-Mets refused to take their foot off the gas pedal against the Rock Cats bullpen. They tacked on two against Jose Gonzalez in the seventh and added two more off Matt Hauser in the ninth.
Nate Hanson put the only blemish on Mejia's night by ripping a home run over the left-field wall to lead off the fifth inning. Mejia bounced back and retired six of seven to cap his night. Chase Huchingson took over in the seventh and allowed one on three hits over two innings of relief. Chasen Bradford closed the contest with a perfect ninth.
Mejia (2-0) surrendered just one run on three hits over six innings in the victory. May (6-6) was tagged for five runs (four earned) on seven hits and three walks in the losing effort.
The B-Mets (61-37) conclude their four-game set in New Britain on Sunday night at 6:35 PM. RHP Erik Goeddel takes the mound against LHP Pat Dean.
POSTGAME NOTES: Mejia's eight strikeouts were the most in one game since he fanned nine as a Buffalo Bison on 8/30/10 against the Syracuse Chiefs…Darrell Ceciliani extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a single in the second inning…Binghamton sent 50 batters to the plate in nine innings…Binghamton snapped a four-game stretch of having an opponent score first

While opponents of the Delaware River Deepening Project continue to assert reasons to halt dredging of a 102-mile stretch of the Delaware River, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers show no signs of stopping and are still in the running for federal funding moving forward.
Nearly 60 interest groups and organizations put their name on a recent letter to President Barack Obama and his administration, urging them not to provide federal funding to put towards USACE's aim to continue deepening the channel from 40 to 45 feet.
However, Army Corps Chief of Public and Legislative Affairs Ed Voigt said Congress already approved a fiscal 2012 spending plan — which officially began last October — that specified $74 million will go towards "navigation construction" to improve travel in U.S. rivers., which could very well include the Delaware River.
"There's no question that the deepening would definitely fall under that category," Voigt said. "We're still waiting to find out how much [would be allocated to deepening the river]. Within the next couple weeks, we'll know how much, if any, we'll be working with."
The Army Corps would need approximately $240 million more to complete the project in its entirety.
U.S. Rep. Rob Andrews, D-1st Dist., who's firmly maintained his position against the project, said the his next concern is the president's upcoming budget for fiscal year 2013 and making sure this project isn't in it.
There has yet to be any money specifically set aside for the project in the previous two budgets, according to Andrews, and he doesn't see it likely — or worthwhile — to happen in the future.
"The way to create jobs along the port is to build roads, piers and warehouses, not by putting money into a hole in the ground," Andrews said.
Part of the push for the project comes from the belief that deepening the river would create thousands of jobs, accommodate larger ships, and ensure Philadelphia remains competitive with the rest of the world. The Panama Canal is currently being expanded for similar reasons.
Local dredging challengers see it otherwise.
Opponents argued that the project doesn't meet the administration's minimum criteria of returning $2.50 for each dollar invested.
The Army Corps May 2011 analysis projected the project would produce $1.64 for every dollar invested.
Voigt said the $2.50 minimum is just a guideline, not a requirement.
"This project, which would use scarce tax dollars ... will destroy ecologically and environmentally important resources while failing to provide a sound economic return for the taxpayers' investment," said Delaware Riverkeeper Maya van Rossum, who believes Army Corps is insisting on "bending everyone's arms backwards for the sake of the project."
Environmentalists like van Rossum have frequently listed barrage of discrepancies with the project, including the $80 million reduction in oyster revenue and a $34 million loss in eco-tourism revenue she believes will occur if the dredging continues.
The National Marine Fisheries Service also recently announced the Atlantic sturgeon from the Delaware River is an endangered species and specifically listed the deepening project as an additional threat to their existence.
"If this project gets finished, we'll all be left to experience the harm that ensues," van Rossum said.
So far, approximately 17 miles of the river channel has already been deepened; the most recently-completed stretch of dredging occurred off of the Salem County shoreline from the Delaware Memorial Bridge to just north of Wilmington, De. with the help of about $45 million from Pennsylvania.
Dredging in the vicinity of the Ben Franklin Bridge and Wilmington would be next if additional funding is obtained.

Ageing, the World Service and 70s Cops
Phew! Once again I've been running on adrenaline for the past few weeks. No good. No good at all. After I got over about 6 weeks of illness earlier this autumn, I'm once again on the verge of illness – some annoying flu-thing. Grrrrr.
I've been up to some interesting things, including working on a project which is looking into the ageing population and the problems associated with the changing demographics. Apart from thinking, 'Jesus Christ, who is going to pay for it all??!' it's made me re-think the whole Transhumanist thing… at least until dementia can be avoided. My current position? Cane it hard until 85 and die.
I've just got in from recording an episode of Digital Planet – I dissed both Windows and Mac, so am proud of my even-handed cynicism.
Finally, something that I can't really write about, but is, perhaps, the start of another chapter in the ever-changing, always intriguing world of Gia. I give you the start of a recent answerphone message:
Yes, that David Soul. Sometimes my life is so fricken cool.

More than 24,000 HSBC customers are involved in the recent theft of private information from the bank's data centre, it has been revealed. Originally, the bank estimated that just ten of their Swiss account customers would be affected by the security breach.
However, the figure has now increased to 24,000 and although 9,000 of the accounts have now been closed, 15,000 are still open. Some IT experts have used the theft, which was carried out by a former IT employee of Swiss subsidiary HSBC Private Bank, to highlight the potential risks involved with securely storing information.

This week marks a special anniversary for me. It is the day I met the love of my life in a chat room for people with hearing loss 11 years ago.
It is amazing how your life can change in a second, from being lonely to finding companionship that develops into love.
I still remember the long hours we chatted online getting to know each other. Even online, we both felt very connected to each other, having many similarities and differences.
It was very interesting how we shared many similar experiences due to our hearing loss. After two years, we felt the connection was strong enough for us to meet in person. We both instantly knew from our first in-person meeting on May 28, 2004, that we were going to be together forever.
Each of our visits was filled with love and happiness. Every moment spent together since then has been filled with laughter and fun.
Our wedding day confirms our commitment to each other and started our official journey in our life together.
Every day I am thankful that I have found someone to share love and experience life with. I am feeling very lucky that I have someone who loves me, accepts me and supports me every day, and I do the same for him.
As our love keeps on getting stronger and stronger, each day is better than the last. We both look back fondly on those days of getting to know each other and watching our connection grow.
We are living proof that love can happen anywhere.

It's still going to be a tough two games, but the University of Massachusetts hockey team won't mind the absence of sophomore defenseman John Ramage from the University of Wisconsin lineup this week.
No, he's not injured, he is the captain of the United States team that defeated Finland 3-2 in overtime Sunday night in its opener at the World Junior Championship in Buffalo.
If the name sounds familiar, it should, John is the son of 15-year NHL star Rob Ramage.
John will be with the national team when the Minutemen play at Wisconsin Thursday and Friday night.
With the Badgers, Ramage has one goal and seven assists for eight points in 20 games. He is a plus-8, fourth best on the team. The Badgers are ranked No. 16 in the nation with a 10-7-3 record.
I saw him play in Wisconsin's 3-3 televised overtime tie with Minnesota earlier in the season, and he was all over the ice. He was a fourth-round draft pick of the Calgary Flames in 2010. Rob was the No. 1 overall pick in 1979 by Colorado.

I decided it would be fun to do a trade deadline analysis. Because cramming 30 teams worth of writing into the day before the deadline (24 and a half hours from starting, to be exact). So, I figured I'd keep it to the players listed on MLB.com's Trade Deadline coverage.
Each player will be assessed by whether their team is a buyer or seller, how good they are, what teams would want them, and how likely the trade is. This is by no means a comprehensive guide. MLB.com sorts its players by position, and multi-position players are only listed once, so away we go.

Camas' Alexa Efraimson learns Tuesday if she is the national Gatorade female high school athlete of the year.
Efraimson is headed to Hollywood, Calif. for the ceremonial dinner, where she's one of six finalists for the honor. Efraimson is seeking to become the second Portland-metro area winner of the award since it was founded in 2003. In 2007, Lake Oswego's Kevin Love was named as male athlete of the year.
Efraimson won the Gatorade's national award for cross country, following a season where she captured the Nike Cross Nationals race in December, breaking the course record at Portland Meadows by 37 seconds.
Since cross country season, Efraimson has gone on to win numerous regional and national track & field events. Last week, Efraimson won the 1,500-meter race at the USATF Junior Championships, a qualifier for the IAAF World Junior Championship in Eugene from July 22-27.
Joining Efraimson as finalists are Alexa Filley (volleyball, Louisville, Ky.), Brianna Turner (basketball, Manvel, Tex.), Katie Cousins (soccer, Forest, Va.), Taylor McQuilin (softball, Mission Viejo, Calif.), and Raven Saunders (track & field, Charleston, S.C.).
Former soccer star Mia Hamm and Milwaukee Bucks guard Brandon Knight will present the awards to the male and female winners.
Previous Gatorade winners include LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Andrew Wiggins, Allyson Felix, Candace Parker and Maya Moore.

August may stretch one's heat tolerance. But the grass still grows. The grill beckons.
After the lawn is mowed or the backyard party starts, a cold beer can be mighty refreshing. For advice on which work best in the blazing August sun, Birmingham magazine consulted local beer experts Danner Kline and Gabe Harris, both with the beer-consumer group Free the Hops.
"Alcohol level is an important consideration," says Kline, FTH founder, now specialty beer manager for Birmingham Budweiser distributing company. "When I come out of the yard I don't want a beer with 8 or 9 percent alcohol. I want 5 percent, or a little under."
It should not be too sweet or excessively bitter. Look for craft pilsners, pale lagers and American wheat ale.
Lawnmower beer, something a sweaty guy can pull from the refrigerator, mostly comes in cans or bottles. Avoid green or clear bottles because the beer inside easily gets skunky, Kline says.
For the backyard party, Harris also recommends Alabama-brewed beers available on draft only, but sold in select stores in half-gallon growlers. Harris is president of Free the Hops and a partner in Fairhope Brewing Co.
Their picks and comments:
Oskar Blues Mama's Little Yella Pils (Colorado): "Well-made pilsner, on the dry side. Much lighter in hops than anything else they do."
Victory Prima Pils (Pennsylvania): "You don't want an India Pale Ale after working in the yard, but those who love hops will like this."
New Belgium Shift Pale Lager (Colorado): "Fruity, bready, spicy, grassy ... the perfect beer to put in my lawnmower's cup holder if it had one."
Cahaba India Pale Lager (Alabama, draft-only): "Lagers when done right are perfect for the summer, so crisp and refreshing. I love its hoppiness."
Kona Longboard Island Lager (Hawaii): "A light, sessionable beer, 4.6 percent (alcohol); nice hop profile for the style."
Bell's Oberon Ale (Michigan): "Maybe the perfect summer session beer; crisp, malty with floral and citrus hoppiness."
Victory Hop Ticket #2 (Pennsylvania): "Fruity, spicy; incredibly balanced."
Good People Bearded Lady (Alabama, draft-only): "Creamy; a hint of tartness and citrus. A nice bready backbone balances it."
Plan a pre-school beach trip? Here's one for the road (upon arrival, of course):
Fairhope S'Wheat Home (Alabama): "A great wheat beer on its own;" fruity hops and added orange and tangerine peels make it "a refreshing beer at the beach."

Chat with Heather Dinich
Dinich's ACC blog, and the rest of ESPN.com's college football blog network, bring all of the latest information as teams prepare for the start of the season.
Dinich covered ACC and Big Ten football for five seasons before joining ESPN.com in November 2007. She's an Indiana grad but somehow her favorite day of the week is Saturday.
Send your questions now and join Dinich in The Show at 2pm ET on Monday!
Dinich Archive: Blog | Stories | College football index
Heather Dinich (2:00 PM)
Hey everyone, I'm here. Let's get started.
Michael (Summerville, SC)
I know it's only Monday but I'm already anxious about the Heels/Hokies game. As a Heels fan, I feel this is our biggest game in years (ABC even picked it up!). What do you expect from this game? Can UNC contain Taylor?
Heather Dinich (2:01 PM)
I actually talked to UNC's defensive coordinator this afternoon, and he said the key will be making Tyrod Taylor throw the ball. They do that, they stand a good chance at winning. The Hokies didn't look too convincing last weekend, sorry.
Brian, Fairfax, VA
Heather, Do you think the winner of this week's VT vs UNC game will be the Coastal division champion?
Heather Dinich (2:02 PM)
I wouldn't count out Georgia Tech or Miami yet, that's for sure.
carlos (coral gables, FL)
Can someone please, please tell me why are FSU ranked? As far as I knew this team was predicted to do nothing this season giving them a very low preseason rank. They have beat two totally spare teams and are in the top 25, really?
Heather Dinich (2:02 PM)
Yeah, I can't explain that one, sorry. They're not in my Top 25 -- at least not yet.
Andy (Blacksburg, VA)
What do you think of the coaches decision to not play Ryan Williams yet? It was my understanding that the main reason he came to Tech was because he was promised playing time. It seems to me the wise decision at this point would be to start Evans at RB with Williams in a relief and change of pace role. I feel like Lewis is a good athlete and would probably fit into the offense well as a slot receiver (think Wes Welker)....thoughts?
Heather Dinich (2:04 PM)
I've also heard about that promise, but they must have their reasons. Frank Beamer said they would make the redshirt decision this week. No doubt Evans looked like he put some distance between himself and the rest of the pack there this week, but Lewis is the starter.
Chad (Cascade, MD)
How big was maryland win on saturday?
Heather Dinich (2:05 PM)
Huge, but only if they can play like that again when it counts.
Troy (Ft Jackson)
Heather so where is the ACC this week. Last it was between us and the big east. I dont think we are on the bottem anymore.
Heather Dinich (2:06 PM)
Ha ... I've got a few questions in here about that. Yes, I think the ACC did look better this week, and everyone can thank Maryland and UNC for that.
Bartholomew (Baltimore, MD)
Did Maryland beat a quality team this weekend? Or is Cal just another over rated pac-10 team?
Heather Dinich (2:07 PM)
No, Cal is a solid football team, that was a legit win, but Cal's AD or the director of football operations might want to take a look a different flight next time they decide to schedule an East coast game. Geez.
Paul (Pittsburgh)
Is there now a QB controversy at OSU, Pryor looked much better than TB?
Heather Dinich (2:07 PM)
There should be.
Scott (Washington DC)
Heather, What do you think of the WFU-FSU game this weekend. Any surprises in the making?
Heather Dinich (2:08 PM)
Heading down to Tallahassee on Wednesday to find out. I was just listening to Mickey Andrews on his teleconference and he was talking about how much more athletic this Wake team is than in years past, and how they've got some Florida kids on their roster the Noles staff might have overlooked. Could be interesting.
Joey (Charleston, SC)
Heather, why are you covering the ACC? You belong at the top with the SEC. As a SC alum, the Clemson/SC game is always a big one. Who takes it this year, assuming Spurrier gets SOMETHING going on offense?
Heather Dinich (2:09 PM)
Haha why thank you, Joey, but Clemson has to beat SC State first, now? I tell you what, the SEC is a defensive league this year, and Spurrier is not alone in that fact.
Steve (Clifton, VA)
How much of an impact will the suspensions have on the Florida State vs Wake Forest game this week?
Heather Dinich (2:10 PM)
No doubt it won't make things easier, but the past two games have given the younger players a good foundation. I think the bigger impact than the guys who will be missing could be the return of Preston Parker.
Mark, RI
How can BC's junior DE Alex Albright redshirt this year if he played in two games already this season? i didn't think this was possible. does this mean he'll still have two years left to play?
Heather Dinich (2:12 PM)
I thought it was a medical rs, but I'd have to check.
Ryan (maimi fl)
You don't seem to be giving Miami any credit, how do you see their season ending up? I'm betting 10-2.
Heather Dinich (2:13 PM)
Bah, I've given those guys lots of credit since their Florida game. Talking to Randy this afternoon. I think they've got as good a chance as any to win the Coastal, but I also think 10 wins is pushing it. They're still a very young team.
Matt, raleigh
I can't believe I am even asking this but is it crazy to think Duke should be favored against UVA next week?
Heather Dinich (2:13 PM)
NO ... you are absolutely correct. Expect Duke to win that game.
Confused Hokie (Blacksburg)
Unless I was in another universe this weekend and not really in Lane Stadium I am pretty positive that VT beat GT 20-17. However, based on ANY of your posts after the game (besides when you have to mention the score) you would swear GT beat VT easily...Give us a break....
Heather Dinich (2:14 PM)
Look, the whole reason they are using Tyrod is because they have no playmakers! That's not a good sign! And had GT not fumbled and had those two 15-yard penalties ... I think Virginia Tech WILL be a good team. They're getting better. But that was just the first game they started figuring things out.
Joey, Blacksburg
Heather you said you talked to UNC's defensive coordinator about making Tyrod throw the ball this week. How in the world is he going to do that?? Tyrod will taked 2 seconds to look at his receivers and then take off anyway.
Heather Dinich (2:15 PM)
Ha ... If I knew I'd be UNC's d-coord., now wouldn't I?
Sean (Boston, MA)
How come it seems like everyone's so hard on the ACC? I know they haven't always shown up in bowls and have some ugly losses but the same can be said other conferences I see the ACC above the Big East, not sold on the Big Ten who I always think is overrated as Ohio State loves to prove, and take USC out of the Pac-10 and I don't see how that conference is any better if not worse.
Heather Dinich (2:16 PM)
Beamer pointed out the Pac-10 on his teleconference today when asked about the hits the league has taken. The Big Ten has become more interesting with Penn State and Wisconsin, and sorry, but I like Michigan State, too.
Bryan (Roanoke, VA)
He Heather,what's the magic number of wins that will keep Al Groh and son in Charlottesville?
Heather Dinich (2:17 PM)
Yikes. Let's just see if they can get their second one.
John (Dallas)
Heather, I honestly didn't think they had a chance vs Tenn, but now I feel somehow let down by what UCLA did vs BYU, how bad is it, or is it just kids in their first road game?
Heather Dinich (2:20 PM)
Well, considering they've averaged just around 20 rushing yards per game, I'd say there are some problems. But it wouldn't surprise me to see this just being an inconsistent team.
Sean (Chapel Hill, NC)
Hey Heather, what do you make of NC State this season? Losses to good teams with the chance of improvement or no hope at all?
Heather Dinich (2:21 PM)
Man, I'd love to see what Tom O'Brien could do with a healthy team and a good quarterback. Doesn't look like much hope for these guys right now, sorry. The offense is just nonexistent.
Scott (Fairfax, VA)
Objectivity be damned, you need to push the "Fire Al Groh" sentiment into the mainstream, Heather! Given the talent he has had during his tenure and the general ineptitude (best season was 9-4), it is one of the greatest travesties in NCAA Football that this man still has a job, much less how large his salary is!
Heather Dinich (2:21 PM)
Tell me how you really feel, Scott ...
Bryan (Annapolis, MD)
Did Chris Turner's solid play against another quality opponent finally cement his status as the start of this team this year and next, or do you see Fridge giving Steffy another shot when he returns?
Heather Dinich (2:22 PM)
Yeah, way to represent Naptown with a great question ... one would like to think that Turner solidified his job, problem is, he's also capable of playing like he did against MTS, and if he does, Ralph has every right to give Steffy another look.
Confused Hokie (Blacksburg)
"had GT not fumbled.." You were there weren't you? I'm sure VT's DTs busting through the line had a little something to do with that. It's not like Nesbitt said "Hmmm I think I'll fumble this play". And your right. VT's offense has no playmakers....at WR. Darren Evens looked mighty good out there, but I think you mentioned that as well.
Heather Dinich (2:24 PM)
Good point in that VT stripped the ball on one of those fumbles, and I think only one of the three was on an option play. And yes, I was there. I'm just saying that until Evans - or somebody - does it week in and week out like, say, Brandon Tate has, there are questions. Taylor is not going to get away with not throwing the ball this season.
jon (brooklyn)
what will it take for clemson fans to let go of the bama game?
Heather Dinich (2:26 PM)
I don't think that game will ever be forgotten, and I think everytime Clemson has a big game, it will be in the back of their heads this season. However, an ACC title and Orange Bowl win would do wonders to help erase it a bit. Obviously.
johnny g (tuscaloosa)
heather, im going bold, unc by over 10 against vt at home, should i bet the farm?
Heather Dinich (2:26 PM)
and the John Deere.
AJ (Clemson)
Did you see Clemson's O-line against a decent defensive line and defensive unit, have you regained faith in the team? I think they are gelling pretty fast, and two O-line starters were out.
Heather Dinich (2:27 PM)
Technically, no, I didn't see it, but Tommy talked about his oline yesterday and said he was pleased with the progress there. And I think NC State's defense is a fair measure.
Jeriah (Norman, Oklahoma)
What are the odds of OU jumping USC for the number one spot? OU plays a couple of ranked teams that are solid and It seems that USC has a weak schedule?
Heather Dinich (2:29 PM)
It wouldn't surprise me, really. They've really been beating up on people, but USC is going to get credit for being legit no matter who they play (See: Virginia).
Phil (Sarasota, FL)
Why does everyone think it is such a tragedy that FSU is in the top 25? Is it really that hard to believe that FSU you could be 24th best team in the country?
Heather Dinich (2:30 PM)
Um, after back-to-back 7-6 seasons and two wins against creampuffs, yes.
James (Blacksburg)
Let's skip ahead a week. I've promised my friend I would make my decision on whether or not I was going to drive to Lincoln, NE (yes, from Blacksburg) for the VT/Nebraska next week. Awesome Game Day atmosphere aside, Should I even bother with the drive?
Heather Dinich (2:31 PM)
I'd say yes. Covered a Penn State game out there once and loved the atmosphere. Also worth the plane ticket instead.
James, Rehoboth Beach
Miami or Texas A&M? Score prediction?
Heather Dinich (2:32 PM)
Not gonna do it 'til Thursday, sorry. Same goes for Wake/FSU.
Joel (Fayetteville, NC)
Heather, if Thad Lewis played for say Miami or Virginia Tech, could he be a Heisman Contender? I would go as far to say that he is the best QB in the ACC and should be on the Heisman list next year. Am I being unreasonable?
Heather Dinich (2:33 PM)
He has thrown the ball 206 times without an interception. I'm not sure if I'd throw out Heisman, but I do agree that he is one of the most underrated quarterbacks out there.
pm (NC)
With that logic Heather see Phil's question, why is Auburn #10?
Heather Dinich (2:34 PM)
Again, not in my Top 25. No passing game in Week 1. No running game in Week 2. And then a 3-2 win? If anything, they're ranked because of their defense.
TJ (Oceanport, NJ)
How ugly were the Hokies uni's this weekend? I bleed Maroon and Orange, but man... those were painful to look at.
Heather Dinich (2:36 PM)
No doubt ... sorry, but UNC's already got them beat in the uni department, too. I liked the new dark blues.
Randy (Miami FL)
Should I err...Coach Shannon let Robert Marve stay in the starting lineup and let him take his lumps...or continue swapping QB's during games?
Heather Dinich (2:37 PM)
You've got to have Jacory ready, it's not going to hurt to have him play. FSU is doing the same thing, kind of.
Brock (Anderson, SC)
People are saying the "cream" of the ACC crop is Wake, UNC, and Miami. Thoughts?
Heather Dinich (2:38 PM)
Who are these people? When did Clemson become a bad football team? Miami is 1-1. The UNC/Va Tech game will reveal a lot this weekend, as will the Wake Forest/FSU game. Too early to tell who is really the best, but from what I've seen so far, Wake is the most complete team.
AJ (Clemson)
I believe that either Florida or UGA could have beaten Ohio State just as bad as USC did, because SEC teams have done that to Ohio State each of the last two years, what you think?
Heather Dinich (2:39 PM)
I think I was probably the only person in the world who had OSU ranked No. 6 in my top 25 last week and I'm OK with that.
Joe Fort Wayne, IN
I personally think the Big 10 is just as week as the ACC this year what do you think?????
Heather Dinich (2:40 PM)
No way.
Billy (Ada, OK)
Pick one QB: Tim Tebow or Sam Bradford?
Heather Dinich (2:40 PM)
Argh. Bradford.
Zach ( Fancy Gap, VA)
I'm a die hard Hokie, and speak for many when I ask, but why dont the Hokies throw the ball downfield more?? The O line looked good against one of the best dlines in America. Plus, with Tyrod's mobility, he can turn a busted play in to a beautiful play. Also, Tech's offense has no where to go but up. How do they fare the rest of the year?
Heather Dinich (2:41 PM)
Because they can't. The pass protection doesn't allow it right now. They tried against GT and couldn't. There are also times when downfield plays were called and Tyrod pulled down and ran. I do agree this offense will only get better.
Ryan (NJ)
Who do you believe is the most exciting player in the ACC ?
Heather Dinich (2:43 PM)
Oh man, that's tough. So far it might be Brandon Tate, but look out for Corey Surrency. Jacoby Ford could make a move, too.
Troy (Ft Jackson)
Heather where do you put Wisconsin in your top 25.
Heather Dinich (2:44 PM)
Sorry, had to look it up in my sent emails ... I had them at No. 8.
Will J (Portland, OR)
Who are your top 5 Heisman hopefuls, in no particular order.
Heather Dinich (2:45 PM)
Again in the email ... 1.Mark Sanchez 2.Chase Daniel 3.Tim Tebow 4.Sam Bradford 5.Knowshon Moreno
Josh New York
Do you really think Miami looks better than FSU? Because all I've been hearing is Miami this and Miami that after the Florida game. I mean they lost 26-3 and I watched the game, their defense looked good but their offense looked like Notre Dame last year. So please you gotta give FSU some props even if they played 2 1-AA schools
Heather Dinich (2:46 PM)
I think after two games FSU has more answers than Miami, which is looking to replace an injured James, and needs a receiver or two to separate himself as the go-to guy.
jack (GA)
Interesting you mention Surrency, he no doubt has emerged as a potential "superstar", but what about Preston Parker, do you think he will pick up where he left off last yr
Heather Dinich (2:47 PM)
Ooh, yeah, I forgot about him. Good call. We'll see, but definite big-play potential there.
Geoff (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)
What is your favorite ACC venue to watch a game?
Heather Dinich (2:49 PM)
The three best are Clemson, Florida State and Virginia Tech. I was on the field last weekend for Enter Sandman, and that was very cool. How's that for a non-answer?
Mark (Charlottesville, VA)
You're taking the 'heels -10? Is it because those pine trees make Chapel Hill a tough place to play?
Heather Dinich (2:49 PM)
HA ... speaking of venues ...
JT (Minneapolis, MN)
BYU really put the hurt (59-0) on what was thought to be a decent UCLA team that came off a win against No. 18 Tennessee. Do you think it said more about BYU or UCLA?
Heather Dinich (2:52 PM)
BYU ... Four forced turnovers, a blocked field goal ...Those guys were trying to make a statement after that call at Washington and they did.
Kevin (NC)
Heather, you do a fantastic job with your coverage. Do you see the ACC with all this young talent becoming a major force on the National scene in the next 2 yrs?
Heather Dinich (2:53 PM)
Thanks, Kevin ... yes, I do see things changing for the league. I did a blog post last week about how many young players there are in this league and it's insane. Plus, they're right where they need to be -- on Florida State's and Miami's rosters.
Carrie, Washington DC
Does TN have a chance against FL and Tim Tebow's offense this week?
Heather Dinich (2:54 PM)
I would be surprsied, really. Did you see what BYU did to UCLA? How didn't Tennessee do that?
Nick (Eugene, Or)
How do you see the pac 10 playing out this year? Top three teams?
Heather Dinich (2:56 PM)
I think at this point you have to go with USC, Oregon and Cal (when they're on the West Coast, that is).
Heather Dinich (2:57 PM)
Alright guys, I've gotta get back to bloggin'. Thanks for the questions today. Check back at noon next Monday.

Former Kalamazoo Gazette reporter Bryan Gruley has given us the inaugural tale of Gus Carpenter, a newspaper editor at The Pilot in Starvation Lake, Michigan. Poor Gus is back working at his hometown newspaper after a series of stories derailed his career at the mighty Detroit Times.
Set in February and March of 1998, before newspapers were completely wed to the Web, Gus finds himself writing the occasional editorial, editing the work of one insubordinate young female reporter, keeping out of the way of a photographer who is seldom seen and dealing with a former beauty queen who functions as a receptionist, assistant and even backup copy editor.
He is also the goalie for his midnight hockey league team, made up of remnants of a former travel team which came within a goal of winning a state title when Gus was 18. The team was coached by dynamic Jack Blackburn who became a symbol of the town's rebirth and who was worshipped by one and all until he tragically drove his snowmobile onto the thin ice of Starvation Lake one March night and drowned 10 years ago.
Since coach's death, Starvation Lake has fallen on hard times. Pretty though it may be, businesses are dwindling and vacationers are buying up property around other Michigan lakes. The newspaper is struggling, too. Now it is under corporate ownership and Gus has to let the lawyers chew over every story that carries even a whiff of controversy. He won't fire anyone because he knows they won't be replaced.
After a particularly vicious hockey league game where Gus gets a nasty slash requiring stitches across the jaw from a former teammate, he gets a tip that something has emerged from another nearby lake that has the sheriff out at midnight trolling the shoreline.
After 10 years, the coach's snowmobile has resurfaced. And so Gus begins a journey in which he is fighting to get the story, fighting to put his problems in Detroit behind him and, eventually, realizing his childhood might not have been as he remembered it.
For a debut, this is a well conceived and written story. It has several twists and turns, some you can see coming and some you can't.
Gus juggles with journalistic issues like anonymous sources with their own agendas, conflicts of interest and dealing with bosses who have different priorities.
The community of Starvation Lake is not fully fleshed out but it contains some fascinating characters that we get to glimpse this time around but hopefully we'll get to know better in future installments. This is the first of at least three books set in Starvation Lake. The diner owner, the sheriff's dispatcher, the sheriff, the best friend and marina owner and a rather eccentric judge all have their moments and I want to get to know them better in future tales.
Gruley is a Michigan native who now works as the Chicago bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal. His stint at the Gazette was in the early '80s, before my time. But former colleagues may recognize their names at various places in the book, which gave me a laugh.
I also think the back story of what happened to Gus in Detroit is based on the fall of another former Kalamazoo Gazette reporter, except the locale was Cincinnati and not Detroit. But that's what makes this book fun for journalists.
Gruley will be in Kalamazoo on June 20 to talk about "Starvation Lake." He'll be visiting the Kalamazoo Public Library at 2 p.m.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- A Huntsville man facing a slew of charges related to sexual abuse and child pornography should be given an emergency mental examination by an independent doctor, his attorneys argued in a court filing late Monday.
In a filing today, prosecutors said they want to play Herold's police interview following his arrest, which is about three hours long.
Carl Philip Herold, 32, has already been given a mental exam at the Madison County Jail without his consent or the consent of his attorneys, the filing argues.
The filing by attorney Adam Bollaert argues that "Counsel believes the defendant may suffer from serious mental health issues and an independent mental evaluation is imperative in determining this ..."
The attorney argued efforts to have Herold examined at the jail by a licensed professional counselor have so far been unsuccessful.
The request is pending before Madison County District Judge Alison Austin.
Herold is scheduled to appear before Austin Wednesday for a preliminary hearing. He faces a range of charges including producing child pornography, distributing child pornography, allowing his child to be depicted in pornography, sodomy, sexual abuse and aggravated child abuse.
This afternoon prosecutors filed notice with the court announcing their plans to play a video of Herold's interview with Huntsville Police Department investigators.
Madison County Assistant District Attorneys Jason Scully-Clemmons and Gabrielle Helix said in the filing that the video is one of the "primary bases of the probable cause for the charges pending against the defendants and is the best evidence of same."
Last month Austin agreed with a prosecution request to increase Herold's bond amount to $1 million cash.
Herold's domestic partner Charles Dunnavant is also being held on a $1 million bond in connection with the case. Dunnavant faces charges including sexual torture, sodomy, aggravated child abuse and transmitting or exposing a person to a STD.
Following his Dec. 17 bond hearing Herold spoke to reporters while being led away by guards.
"I love and miss my son very much" and disputing a police investigator's testimony describing a trip Herold took to Disney World with the boy as at least in part about sex. Herold said the boy stayed with his grandmother during the trip and "turned 9 on Space Mountain."
Herold was arrested in November in a case that has also involved FBI investigators and prosecutors have the said the case may also include several other jurisdictions.
The case has drawn widespread attention. Herold was a popular online computer course teacher.
Dunnavant is also scheduled for a preliminary hearing Wednesday.
AL.com staff writer Lee Roop contributed to this story.

On Music
By Steven Libowitz
The Musical Weekend of Shai Wosner
Considering that he just made his Santa Barbara debut playing the Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time with Camerata Pacifica last March, pianist Shai Wosner has already become a local favorite. At least it sure seems that way this weekend, when the young Israeli native – the winner of a 2005 Avery Fisher Career Grant who has performed with major orchestras and ensembles around the world – will both serve as soloist for the Santa Barbara Symphony's season-opening concerts at the Arlington, where he'll perform Beethoven's magnificent Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4, on Saturday and Sunday, and play in recital on Monday night for an audience less than one-tenth as big at the Museum of Modern Art on Monday night as part of trilogy of concerts kicking off the venue's 2007-08 chamber music series.
Q. How often do you play both recital and concerto with two organizations in the same town while on tour?
A. It's not very often. Usually it's either/or. So it's new to me, too.
Is it difficult to switch between the two so quickly?
It's very different. You try to just focus on each one as it is, and not mix them too much. But to tell you the truth, I really haven't done it very often, so I'm not sure myself.
OK. So how different is it to play for two thousand people versus two hundred?
Even when it's a bigger hall, you try to draw them in and make it intimate. You really aim for the same thing even though the places are different. You just focus on the music. It sounds like a cliché, but it's true. If you need to project to them, it doesn't really work anyway. But if you try to focus more intensely on what you're playing usually they are drawn in to that, rather than trying to broaden it and put it out there. It's hard to explain. What you do take into account, the sound of the hall, the acoustics, but not the size of it necessarily. You go by the way it sounds, not by how many people are there.
What can you tell me about the Beethoven? How do you approach such a monumental work?
It's very unique, like all of his. None of the five concertos are really conventional. This one, the break from convention is apparent from the very beginning in that the piano actually starts rather than the orchestra. In the fourth, it's actually more significant than in the fifth, where it's just a cadenza. In the fourth it's actually the theme of the concerto. So in a way, the motto for the whole concerto is conceived in the beginning with just the piano and then developed in the orchestra. It's a great masterpiece, truly profound.
What will you be playing in the recital?
A couple of Beethoven Sonatas, op. 31 no. 3, and Op. 57 ("Appassionata") plus short pieces by Schubert and Schoenberg. Those are two sets of six musical movements by each composer. I'm playing them as a group together, alternating back and forth between them.
How do you choose your repertoire?
I usually try to match things to form a solid balanced program, things that go well with one another, maybe even react to one another, as is the case with the Schubert and Schoenberg: when you put them together you create a new context for them, which I think can be very interesting.
It's your second time to Santa Barbara and of course, you've played in many major cities. Is there a difference in the audiences that you are aware of?
You do feel the audience. You get a vibe. It doesn't necessarily matter whether they are more or less educated. It changes from concert to concert. You can generalize or characterize audiences by habits, by region. For example, in the Netherlands, audiences give you a standing ovation no matter how much they might hate it. It's just something they do. But you do try to gauge whether the audience is listening. You notice when they listen and when they don't.

How to Make a Baby Yarn Owl
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
If you give a hoot about cute handmade gifts, then you'll love learning how to make a Baby Yarn Owl from Dondi Richardson for FloraCraft. Use eyelash yarn and a Styrofoam base to construct this furry little friend. Cut out small felt shapes to create the face of your owl.
Start with a plain foam ball and cut pieces off to form the bottom and the face. Grab your eyelash yarn and start wrapping it around the ball. Keep going until the ball is completely covered. Cut out felt shapes and use a hot glue gun to adhere the pieces to the ball. Use a hair brush to fluff of the yarn and bring the owl to life. Display your new creation or give it to your favorite little animal lover.

Wine Maker Notes
Located on the eastern hillsides of Dry Creek Valley, the 20-acre Bushnell Vineyard has been closely related to the Pedroncelli family for over 50 years. Winery founder John Sr. purchased the property in 1945, and, at the time, it was planted to Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Carignane. The vineyard was sold to son-in-law Al Pedroni in the 1950's and he tended the vineyard for over 40 years. Al's daughter Carol Bushnell inherited the vineyard in the 1990's and she and her husband Jim now farm the vineyard.

With Knology's recent acquisition by WOW!, some former Cobridge customers are wondering what will happen to their service.
"It's taken longer than we wanted, but they will be integrated at the end of September," said Abu Khan, the vice president and general manager of WOW! in Augusta. "We are planning to go live with them being on the same billing system on the first of October."
Knology signed an agreement to buy Cobridge's cable and broadband operations at Fort Gordon and in Troy, Ala., for $30 million in March 2011. Knology became the owner and operator of those systems in June 2011.
WOW! Augusta officials on Monday said about 6,000 customers are affected.
The packages and prices between Knology/WOW! and Cobridge will still differ for now. The same bundles, rates and channel lineups haven't been available to Cobridge customers, Khan said.
"Part of that is because there are two billing systems," Khan said. "Eventually, we will integrate them and have the same channel lineups, but that's a little bit further down the road. It's a little more complicated. Logistically, it's just not as easy as just turning on some channels and turning off other channels. There's program negotiations and things like that that have to occur."
Khan said he does not have a date for the channel lineups to become uniform.

History of Penang Malaysia
By admin at February 26, 2013 | 3:47 pm | 0 Comment
Penang Malaysia history started in 1786, when Captain Francis Light struck a bargain with the Sultan of Kedah. He got Pulau Pinang (Penang Island) from the Sultan on behalf of the East India Company, which is return promised Kedah security against its powerful next-door neighbors. By 1800, Francis Light had actually also handled to work out for a strip of land next to
Penang Heritage City
By admin at February 22, 2013 | 7:23 am | 0 Comment
Penang Heritage City - a suitable title bestowed to this decent island. It is now part of UNESCO's World Heritage Cities Program. I know that many of us associate Penang with the coastlines, the famous Penang Bridge and its glorious food. The resources city, George Town, has the most number of pre-war structures in all of South East Asia which are still in one piece.

Syracuse, NY -- First Liz Claiborne designs disappear from the likes of Lord & Taylor and Macy's. Then we hear in the fall that J.C. Penney locked down the iconic name in fashion. Now? This. Read on...
From Retailing Today:
A new name for Liz Claiborne
NEW YORK — While the Liz Claiborne brand will be kept alive thanks to a recent deal with JCPenney, the company behind the name is headed in a new direction.
Liz Claiborne Inc. announced it is changing its name to "Fifth & Pacific Companies" to better communicate its strategic focus on growing its three global lifestyle brands (Juicy Couture, Kate Spade and Lucky Brand).
The change is expected to be effective on or about May 15, 2012 at which time the company will begin trading as Fifth & Pacific Companies Inc. (NYSE: FNP).
"While it's difficult to replace an iconic name like Liz Claiborne, we believe that Fifth & Pacific Companies telegraphs who we are today – taking inspiration from New York and California, while describing our reach and our potential. From New York to Los Angeles to Shanghai and beyond, our intrinsically American brands have global appeal, serving customers worldwide with high quality and imaginative product," said Liz Claiborne Inc. CEO William L. McComb.
McComb added: "With the steps we've taken, the new Fifth & Pacific Companies is financially stronger, with a healthy balance sheet and significantly reduced operating risk and complexity. Moreover, we are anchored by three, high-growth retail-based brands with significant expansion potential in global markets, spanning multiple product categories. In short, ours is a momentum portfolio, poised for growth and global expansion."
The name change is Liz Claiborne Inc.'s next step in moving from primarily serving department stores to a direct-to-consumer retailer built around three highly distinctive premium brands with global appeal, the company said.
In October 2011, JCPenney announced that it will acquire the worldwide rights for the Liz Claiborne family of brands, as well as the United States and Puerto Rico rights for the Monet brand for $267.5 million.
The company has been the exclusive licensee for all Liz Claiborne and Claiborne-branded merchandise in the United States and Puerto Rico since August 2010.
The deal includes the entire Liz Claiborne brand portfolio, including Liz Claiborne, Claiborne, Liz, Liz & Co., Concepts by Claiborne, LC, Elizabeth, LizGolf, LizSport, Liz Claiborne New York (LCNY) and Lizwear brands.
My comments: Well, well, well, this should be fascinating to watch, especially since... I'm not so sure about this.
OK, I've put it on Front Street before: I'm far from a fashion maven, but Liz Claiborne (for men, wise guy) designs just seemed to fit me. But that was before they moved over exclusively to J.C. Penney. Something happened in the transition; different designers, cuts, what? And, to be fair, maybe it was me (shedding a LOT of weight for one thing).
I know Juicy Couture, Kate Spade and Lucky Brand are hot fashions. And since Liz Claiborne Inc. -- the designer died in 2007 -- handed over the exclusivity of the Liz names, there was really no "Liz Claiborne" to market outside of Penney. Hence, this move to the Fifth & Pacific name.
Will everything get lost in the identity? Will the "Fifth" part equate, in some shoppers' minds, to Saks? Or will the "Pacific" part do the same regarding the troubled Pacific Sunwear chain? I'm just sayin'
And I'm just wondering.

ROSELLE PARK — A Kenilworth man known as "Papi" allegedly drove boys to and from the sites of six different apartment burglaries in December, and paid them for their help.
Pedro Tepox Espinoza, 22, faces charges of burglary, theft and employing juveniles in a crime, Roselle Park Police Department announced today.
The arrest follows an investigation into a rash of burglaries in December.
Espinoza was arrested Thursday afternoon by detectives from the Roselle Park Police Department. Police gave the following account:
Police had previously arrested four boys from Elizabeth in connection with six separate apartment burglaries that occurred in December. During the ensuing investigation, police became aware that an adult nicknamed "Papi" had driven the juveniles to and from the burglary scenes and paid them for their participation.
Over the past two months, several leads were developed as to the identity of "Papi."
During the first week of March, with the assistance of the Elizabeth Police Department, police were able to identify an individual they suspected was "Papi." Espinoza, also known as Pedro Tepoxespinoza of Kenilworth, was arrested Thursday by Detective Hussam Assad and charged with burglary, theft and employing a juvenile(s) in a crime/burglary.
Tepox Espinoza is currently employed as a cook at a West Jersey Avene restaurant in the City of Elizabeth. Police were able to recover property stolen during a Dec. 27 burglary of 336 East Westfield Ave. during a search of the Tepox Espinoza's Kenilworth residence.
Tepox Espinoza was held in the Union County Jail with bail set at $50,000.
Additional burglary-related charges against Tepox Espinoza are pending, according to Roselle Park Police Detective Sgt. Theodore Dima.

Cate Blanchett on unleashing Galadriel's dark side in 'Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies'
SAN DIEGO - As Cate Blanchett warned during the "Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies" panel at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend, fans should prepare for Galadriel to "lose her shit" in Peter Jackson's forthcoming finale. As a matter of fact, they should probably prepare for pretty much anything.
"As Pete [Jackson] says, there's a lot of invention in this film and augmentation," said Blanchett. "So no one necessarily comes out unscathed or alive or dead or anything can happen."
Indeed, Galadriel wasn't even a character in J.R.R. Tolkien's 1937 novel - though given the "invention" and "augmentation" Blanchett mentions, it sounds like the Elf leader will get quite a showcase in the fantasy threequel.
"You get a sense in the very, very first 'Lord of the Rings' film that Galadriel has this dark side of her," said Blanchett of her character's journey. "I mean, things are only good if they've been tested. And so I think all of the characters, Galadriel included, have to undergo a test."
To check out the full interview with Blanchett and her "Hobbit" co-star Lee Pace - including a humorous comparison of their Middle-earth ages - click on the video above.
"The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" hits theaters on December 17.

WHAT: "All-Pro Football 2K8."
PLATFORMS: Xbox 360, Play Station 3.
GENRE: Sports.
PUBLISHER: 2K Sports.
RATING: E for everyone.
Madden who? The release of the 2k8 version of professional football is out and it is fun.
Fun as in straight "down, set, hike." It is not "ready, cross-stick with QB head fake, tackles shift left, reverse pattern, short drop back, action stick left, wait, timeout."
I was truly the early advocate of the other more famous series that EA brings us each year and enjoyed the first few versions immensely.
Now, I know this is somewhat of an unpopular opinion but hey -- it hasn't stopped me on the radio or in print. "All-pro Football 2K8" gets back to the roots of what football in a video game should be. Arcade-like, with running, passing, kicks, and TDs.
I know it lacks in graphical beauty. And it lacks in current names to put you in the feel of the coming NFL Season. Yes, Yes, Yes! But, do you really need to know what Reggie Bush can do versus this year's rookie sensation? Or can you enjoy playing the likes of Walter Payton on the Cobras, or Jerry Rice on the Firebirds, or dare I say O.J. Simpson on the Assassins?
Admittedly that one is kind of tacky, but the game is quite entertaining. There are 240 past Hall of Famers, all-stars, and game greats to battle with on the turf.
Remember, if you like the technical play of EA and the detailed skills of each player, you will not enjoy this title. Buy Madden.
There are only 80 different ability factors that rarely contribute to a major change in a players on-screen play. This makes the majority of the teams and each contest feel similar with no distinct advantages. You can create your own roster but the structure of Gold, Silver, and Bronze player levels will dictate your lineup.
If you are looking for a game that does not take the better part of a week to learn and just want to throw around the virtual pigskin, then grab your cup and chin strap and huddle this disc into your console.
BogueSpear, 33, lives in Chittenango. He hosts the "Joystick Radio Show," which airs at 10:30 p.m. Sundays on WWHT-FM (Hot 107.9). A podcast is available at www.joystickshow.com.

Milestone: Taking on polio
Sequim Sunrise Rotary president Mike McAleer and Rotary Foundation chairman Jon Jack.
Sequim Sunrise Rotary members recently donated $1,820 to Rotary's global polio eradication effort. A partnership with Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation matched this amount two-to-one, bringing the equivalent raised to $5,460.
Rotary and its partners have helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children, mobilized public support for ending polio, contributed more than $1 billion to the global polio eradication effort and helped solicit financial support from donor governments resulting in more than $9 billion in contributions.

a beautiful day in SF
