Long Looking For Revenge
It's been a while since Shane Long last played Villa, and he wouldn't mind finding the net twice again this time round.
Long put Reading 2-0 up against Villa in the FA Cup, before Villa finally won the tie 4-2, and Shane certainly wants the right result this time round.
Speaking to wba.co.uk he said.
'Hopefully I can emulate my goals against Villa, but I've learned from that cup tie. Villa are never out of the game, so if we do take the lead this weekend, we've got to be as resilient as we were at the back against Wolves and see the game out. In that cup game, we were told to go out for the second half and see out the first 15 minutes, but within 10 minutes we were 3-2 down!'
It's not just local pride at stake for Long either, it's Irish pride and bragging rights that are up for grabs.
'Villa have got my Irish team mate Dunny at the back, and another of my international team mates, Shay Given, in goal. I've scored against him once before and hopefully I can do it again. Hopefully, I can get one over those two on Saturday.'

Fonterra Brands Sri Lanka last week announced the construction of its first purpose-built demonstration and training farm in Sri Lanka is nearing completion and is slated to be officially opened by visiting New Zealand Prime Minister in late February.
Located in Pannala and costing Rs. 117 million to build and operate, the dedicated training farm is expected to function 180 days each year with a view to train around 2,000 farmers each year.
"The farm will employ administrative managers, animal care specialists and farm hands. Apart from training farmers, we hope also to welcome interns and local university students to conduct research on subjects like animal care and farm forage at the site," Director Co-operative Affairs, Dr. Athula Kahandaliyanage said adding that the facility includes Training centre, free stall barns, Milk chilling facilities and Fodder cultivation area.
Completely funded and operated by Fonterra, the farm will share the dairy co-operative's world-class dairy farming knowledge through farmer visits, field days, short course training and apprenticeship programmes.
Fonterra's on-farm programme is made up of a number of key areas of focus including fodder, advanced animal nutrition, animal welfare, milk quality management and farm business management.
The dairy co-operative, which has been operating in Sri Lanka for over 38 years, said it has invested over Rs. 380 million in local dairy development over the past two years alone, and is committed to working with partners to increase milk collection, improve milk quality and lift farmer incomes.
Managing Director of Fonterra Brands Sri Lanka Leon Clement said, "We are already seeing positive change in the Sri Lankan dairy industry with the government making a meaningful difference through imported cow genetics and working with farmers. We believe we can help accelerate this change through consistent investment in training and infrastructure to improve farming practices and animal health."
Over the next two years, Fonterra plans to build five new milk chilling centres, create an opportunity to collect milk from 2000 more farmers, Increase Supplier Relationship Officers, who are dedicated to training and education, from 20 to 40
"We also hope to build an additional three demonstration and training farms by 2017, however, to do this we will need to find the right partners and available land," said Clement.
According to Fonterra's statistics, while local production can only cater for around 40% of the country's total dairy demand, demand for dairy is growing by 16% each year. The firm also believes that 44% of agricultural land in Sri Lanka is sparsely used and have greater potential for expansion.
Fonterra, which employs around 750 Sri Lankans presently and operates two manufacturing sites in Biyagama also points out that Sri Lankan farmers produce only around 3 to 4 litres of milk per cow per day compared to 25 litres per cow in countries like New Zealand.

On an emotional night in Manchester, the MHS volleyball team walked away with a win on Senior Night in straight sets over Fayetteville , 25-21, 25-23 and 23-12.
Senior Morgan Johnson "went out with a bang" as Manchester Head Coach Tabitha Spires put it, as she finished her final regular season home game with 26 kills to lead all scorers and is now two kills away from 1,000 career kills.
"[Morgan] was all over the place," Spires said. "She can also pass the ball and she can serve."
An emotional Senior Night ceremony for the six senior Lady Hounds started off the evening and the team responded well to the moment as senior Summer Wilbur started off the game with back-to-back aces and before long MHS led 8-2 on an ace from Johnson.
"They were really ready to play right out of the gate," Spires said. "I try to get them pumped, maybe they really liked their Senior Night gifts. But they wanted to end with a bang for their last home game."
That lead stayed fairly constant at 14-6 after Fayetteville sophomore Haley Moore spiked a set into the net and the Rockets burned a timeout a few plays later when a soft kill by Johnson brought the Greyhound lead to 16-9.
Coming out of that timeout, it appeared as if Wilbur tweaked her knee, already in a substantial knee brace, when she was stretching. However, Wilbur continued on and the Manchester team that was injured to the point of what looked like no return about a week ago is almost back to 100 percent according to Spires.
"We're alright," Spires said. "Summer's knee still hurts a little bit and I don't know how much longer it's going to last but she will not stop. Her wrist is better and everyone else is fine now."
Fayetteville made a comeback in the final portion of the first set as the scoreboard read 23-21 in favor of the home team but the Rockets would get no closer as the set ended a few points later, giving Manchester a 1-0 lead.
While the Greyhounds jumped out early in the first set, they fell behind just as quickly in the second set. Freshman Abby McFarland was struck in the face with a serve she attempted to return, much to the chagrin of her teammates, but things looked as if that was the way the second set was going to go for MHS.
A few Fayetteville aces and a lift violation by Cassidy Spires dug the Greyhounds into a deeper hole until the head coach used a timeout down 11-4. The timeout was short-lived as Spires told her squad, "Do your job!" and do their jobs they did afterwards.
Johnson rattled off nine serves in a row and all the while screamed for her teammates to set her the ball every possession the Greyhounds had. Before much longer, what was an 11-4 deficit turned into a 13-13 tie after Johnson slammed the ball down on her opponents again and again.
It looked as if the effort of Johnson and her teammates was going to go for naught when Fayetteville kills by senior Meghan Koch and aces by freshman Alisa Stahl brought the lead back to 22-15. Johnson continued her one-woman offense with a kill to make it 22-16 and that prompted the second comeback of the set as more kills by Johnson and a tip by Cassidy Spires that found the court gave the Greyhounds their first lead in the second set at 24-23. On the next play, a tip at the net by senior Kalya Wagoner completed the comeback and gave her team a commanding 2-0 lead.
What looked as another competitive set in the third stanza proved to be anything but by game's end. Fayetteville kept it close early trailing only 6-5 and 9-8 before an ace by Cassidy Spires pushed the lead to two. From there, seemingly in the blink of an eye, Manchester led 16-8 after multiple serves from Wagoner. That lead grew to 20-9 after another Johnson kill and the game ended on a return of a serve that went too long, giving the six seniors a final regular season home win.
"Each and every senior went out there, worked hard and played hard," Spires said. "They did their job like they're supposed to."
Manchester opens up tournament play with a sectional final at home at 6 p.m. on Oct. 22 against either White Oak or Sciotoville.

In November I wrote a column about how online forums allow "even amateur critics' opinions … the potential to be seen by thousands of people or more" and noted that the Times Union's restaurant database has more than 1,700 readers' reviews of the database's approximately 480 restaurants.
A colleague alerted me to an interesting exchange in one restaurant's entry: After a reader slammed McGreivey's restaurant in Waterford, the owner, Art Riley, came back with a pair of rebuttals.

A common example I like to use comes from Professor John Lennox, a Christian philosopher and mathematician from Oxford University. He frequently cites this scientific fact in lectures, seminars, and debates. The ratio of electromagnetic force compared to gravity on Earth has to be accurate to 1 part in 10 to the 40 in order for us to have the chemistry to support carbon based life. To truly show just how improbable that is, Imagine that you covered the entire country of Russia with small coins and stacked them all the way to the moon. If you did this twice, colored one of the small coins red, blindfolded a friend, and then told him to pick one, the chances of him selecting the red one are about 1 part in 10 to the 40. This is the type of chance you would have to argue. Some chance right?

Box 937 Franklin, TN 37065-0937 Judge:WITT First Paragraph: The defendant, Sandy Renita Cobb, pleaded guilty in the Williamson County Circuit Court to aggravated burglary and theft of property valued at more than one thousand dollars. Pursuant to the negotiated plea agreement, the trial court dismissed a third count for exercising control over stolen property. After a sentencing hearing, the trial court ordered her to serve concurrent sentences of six years for aggravated burglary and four years for theft. In this appeal, the defendant contends that her sentences are excessive because the trial court applied inappropriate enhancement factors and failed to give the applicable mitigating factors appropriate weight. Based on the record before us and the applicable law, we affirm the judgment of the trial court. URL:http://www.tba.org/tba_files/TCCA/cobbs_opn.WP6 THOMAS LIGHT VS.

He previously entered a best interest plea to one (1) count of aggravated sexual battery with an agreed sentence of eight (8) years as a Range I, standard offender. Petitioner contends his guilty plea was the result of ineffective assistance of counsel.

AHEC and PE International conclude first critical review meeting for Life Cycle Assessment research into American Hardwoods.
Other News
Subscribe to newsletter
|11 Jun 2012
The American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC), the leading international trade association for the American hardwood industry, has underlined its determination to ensure that sustainably managed hardwoods receive full environmental recognition, amidst a growing green building movement in the Middle East.
The announcement follows the first critical review meeting for the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) research into American hardwoods, which was held at the PE International offices in Stuttgart. PE International presented the goal and scope report to a very high profile review panel, which is expected to have a positive bearing on the credibility of the research once the results have been approved and published. The LCA study complements AHEC's mission to promote the environmental credentials of American hardwoods in the face of emerging public and private sector procurement policies.
The first stage of the critical review focused on the aims and method of the research, including data collection and the PE modeling system, which will allow U.S. hardwood companies to develop LCA impacts for their own lumber and veneer production. The current study scope outlined by PE International does not cover the full 'cradle to grave' life cycle including impacts of product fabrication in export markets and key issues of product durability and end-of-life.
However, having prepared EPDs for lumber and veneer, it is AHEC's intention to work with manufacturing industries to develop a modeling system for products (furniture, flooring, joinery etc.), which will be used to create examples of full life cycle. As such, AHEC has decided to always publish results for lumber and veneer showing impacts with and without carbon sequestration. It was also agreed that AHEC would obtain input from those members who have not yet taken part in the data collection.
"Of all the numerous environmental benefits of American hardwoods, just one should make many users and specifiers of building materials sit up and take notice. This is the fact - supported by national forest assessments undertaken by the U.S. federal government every ten years - that between 1953 and 2007, the volume of hardwood standing in U.S. forests more than doubled from 5 billion m3 to 11.4 billion m3. This huge expansion of the resource, which actually coincides with a period of significant increase in U.S. and international wood demand, is testament to a long-term commitment to good forest governance and sustainable hardwood production in the United States," said Roderick Wiles, AHEC Director for Africa, Middle East, India and Oceania.
American hardwoods are very energy efficient. The process of converting wood into usable building products requires considerably less energy than most other materials. Furthermore, much of the energy needed to produce American hardwood products is bio-energy. A 2007 study of 20 hardwood sawmills in the North Eastern United States revealed that 75 percent of the energy required to manufacture kiln dried lumber derived from biomass (such as tree bark, saw dust and wood off-cuts). As a result, even less carbon dioxide is emitted when producing American hardwood lumber than when producing many recycled materials.
"Preliminary data released from the LCA study reveals the strong environmental performance of American hardwoods - underpinned by an expanding forest resource, sustainable management and low carbon emissions. Particularly encouraging is the carbon footprint of kiln dried American hardwood lumber which shows that sequestration of carbon during the growth of the tree more than offsets total carbon emissions during extraction, processing and shipment to the Middle East. Given the growing accceptance of EPDs, particularly in Europe where they provide the foundation for all the leading green building rating systems like DGNB (Germany), BREEAM (UK and the Netherlands) and HQE (France), we remain optimistic that our efforts to provide science-based information on the environmental credentials of American hardwoods will help architects and specifiers to select the material on the basis of full environmental disclosure," concluded Wiles.

Cynopsis: Classified Advantage
Good Morning. It's Tuesday, January 3, 2012, and this is your weekly issue of Cynopsis: Classified Advantage!
Another year has just begun, so let's review the resume. Don't fool yourself into thinking now is not a good time to send out resumes, jobs have to be filled during this time of year as any other, so send away.
Simple, easy to read format.
Name and contact information up top.
Brief profile statement explaining what you can do for the company.
Three bullet pointed accomplishments that prove your profile statement. (The items mentioned above are the most important aspect of your resume, the rest might not even get read, but it's still important to have a complete and professional resume.)
Experiences – keep the description very brief and mention only one or two highlights, but sell them!
Mention as many buzz or industry words that were used in the classified, in your resume.
The classified is asking a question, does your resume answer it?
Be as transparent on your resume as possible, you don't want the person reading it, guessing as to why you left a job.
Quantify as much as possible, being a team player means nothing compared to increased sales by 25%.
Don't include a goofy email for contact or have a bizarre voice mail. Don't state that references are available upon request, they know that.
Don't write about how the job would be great for you, write about how you would be great for the job.
Don't over use words such as managed or oversaw. Get out your thesaurus.
Make sure there are no typos and have someone else read the resume aloud to you, this will help with your editing.
Do not include a photo unless requested to do so.
Do not squeeze information into one page by using a small font.
Unless you are applying for a creative job, keep your resume professional and on white or off white paper.
Remember, a resume's purpose is to sell yourself to the company. Think of it as an ad you see in a magazine. Everything is there for a purpose, to sell you.

Knowing when to put yourself on the line for what you believe in these days can be a precarious task. Trusting yourself more than you trust your co-worker may be your first line of defense. Finding your footing when you feel that every misstep may lead you closer to the front door all the while looking over your shoulder determining whom you should trust.
Speaking up for yourself when you feel slighted in the workplace is a gamble. There was a time when being vocal and expressing yourself was considered a true sign of your leadership and personal integrity.
Now you have to weigh the odds even when the top brass encourages you to "speak freely" under promises of providing an "open work environment." Not true. When in doubt you have two choices: 1) Put up or, 2) Shut up.
The workplace is a very strange land these days offering little in the way of comfort, stability and security. Not knowing which end is up is a common complaint among people who find them selves struggling to keep the job they have and hate, vs. trading it for a new one.
Feeling reluctant at every turn, the only trust you have is to know you have a choice when it comes to putting up with your less than desirable work situation. Many of you have lost faith in corporate America, knowing there is no such thing as "retirement" and that having a "safety net" in the way of a pension plan, retirement plan or any other plan that may take care of you when you need it most is a thing of the past.
You need to look to only one person to take care of yourself and that is you. Sorry to have to deliver the bad news but these days nothing is for certain as companies reinvent themselves or moreover, just struggle to try and survive. The least of their worries is whether there will be any money left over to fund a retirement plan let alone pay for an annual bonus.
This sad fact really forces you to make two choice: 1) whether it's time to put up with your current situation or is it time to 2) shut up and stick to what you know. No one wants to put their neck on the line for anything or anyone unless they think it will pay off in the end.
The risk is too high. When there was once some integrity and nobility about speaking out against the status quo, now there is just fear, intimidation and the threat of losing your job. That's not a risk these days that anyone is willing to take-no matter how noble the cause. It's not that we are creating a corporate culture of naysayers and mediocrity.
We are creating a fear of freedom of speech which we now categorize as your ability to be "politically astute" when it comes to dealing with complex situations in the workplace.
Let's face it, it's just not that much fun working anymore. But, unfortunately, we are not left with too many alternatives including the choice of retirement. So when the odds are against you what do you do? It's not that easy but you have one thing going for you and that is you still have a freedom of choice.
You can choose whether you want to work for a particular company or individual and you can choose under what conditions you will allow yourself to work. The difference between putting up and shutting up is really a timing thing. Knowing when to assert yourself and realizing when it's really a good idea to just sit it out, is a precision decision and nothing more.
Making the choice to put up with a situation that is anything than desirable means you are biding your time until the right opportunity comes along to, 1) either assert your point of view, or 2) quit. Knowing when to shut up is no different. There is a time and place for everything as someone, (I have no idea who) once said and this is a perfect time to know when to use it.
Ok, now that you are thoroughly depressed here's the good news. You are not a quitter or have not sold yourself short by any stretch. You are a survivor and when the tide is rolling in and out your ability to survive depends on how well you can do one thing-float.
It's easy to give up and to give in- quitting is just one option you have any time you want to exert that choice. But there is a certain discipline, elegance and dignity in knowing when to listen, nod and just keep yourself focused knowing that you don't need to put up with an undesirable situation for too long.
Learning when to shut up is really an art form. It takes a great deal of patience, composure and above all discipline to know when the battle is not worth fighting and you are best served by remaining silent. Don't take this as a sign of weakness or giving in. Having the good sense to know when it's your turn to speak up or speak out is something only you can teach yourself.
So next time you feel the need to "tell it like it is," just remember, is it really worth it and is there a better way? At times like these you don't always have to fight the tide-sometimes it is better to float.

Networks, ABC/Disney, Lifetime, Pixar, Live Nation and most recently consulting with The Oprah Winfrey Network.
What should be mentioned when writing a reference letter?
If you've been requested to write a reference letter on behalf of someone it's always good to stick to the facts which include, date, title and specific job responsibilities. Because of all the legalities surrounding "negligent hiring" you've got to be factual yet careful in just how much information you disclose.
Sometimes, it's good to request a written reference form from the company so you are only responding to questions that may be relevant to the job your former employee is applying to. Disclosing too much about the individual's character and worth ethic could get you in trouble if there was something in the employment past you were unaware of and could potentially be harmful to the prospective employer if you did not disclose it.
Gone are the good old days when writing a glowing letter of recommendation was a standard practice in offering your unbiased opinion of someone's value to a new organization. You could be held liable if your recommendation in any way led the employer to hire someone based on your feedback and that person had a checkered past even if unbeknownst to you. I'm not saying don't write a recommendation for one of your employees if asked, but be careful about how much or little you choose to disclose and request perhaps that you are listed as a reference instead so that someone can phone you to discuss the applicant rather than memorializing it on paper.
Most employers prefer to speak with someone rather than accept a blanket reference letter anyway, so it's like better for all concerned to phone this one in rather than to put too much in writing lest it backfire on you. In this case less is more but always remember to be factual.
How does one become a consultant, and what is the most efficient way of letting people know of your expertise?The term "consultant" use to be code for "unemployed" or "in-transition." Now with unemployment still at an all time high, more and more senior level executives are finding consulting a desired and often times lucrative career choice.
To become a consultant you have to have an expertise in a particular area that sets you apart from the rest. Consultants typically will have in excess of 15 years work experience and would have worked for many companies both public and private and will possess a proven track record in delivering results within a specific period of time.
Most consultants create a website and have a bio, much like a press release, outlining the companies they've provided services to and the types of quantitative results they have delivered. Building your LinkedIn profile with SEO friendly terms will also help drive visibility and networking your expertise to the industry
you are serving. Whether you are a marketing, programming or business executive you can promote your expertise by serving on boards and in speaking on panels in order to promote and advertise your expertise and availability for hire.. The term consultant does not hold the negative connotation it once did and more and more experienced executives are opting for roles which allow them to use their expertise directly and to develop a list of competitive clients that only serves to make them more marketable.
Being a consultant does not mean you are unemployed and can't find work. Choosing to be a consultant allows you to be more flexible in your work assignments, pick and choose the people you would like to work for and gives you the freedom to work at the rate you feel you deserve. Being a consultant is good work if you can get it!
Do HR people believe that a good sales person can sell anything? Or will the hiring professionals just employ people who have sold items related to their industry?
In my experience, depending on the level of sales position you are applying for, hiring professionals will usually require direct sales experience related to the industry. If you have general sales experience and are applying for an entry level position, most companies would be willing to pay to train you on the products and services the company is offering.
Generally and if the company is seeking to hire more experienced sales people, they will want the prospective candidates to have direct industry related experience. It's not that a good sales person can't sell anything. I believe that sales is such a relationship driven business and is based on the quality and quantity of your relationships, that's it essential to develop a good client base in order to succeed in the position.
Developing your relationships whether they are clients or prospects can help you leverage your ability to move up and over to more challenging sales opportunities if you are in the market.

In general, I think parents and guardians today are soft; which – to me – explains why so many kids have lost their collective minds. In part (at least in the black community), I think it has to do with the restructuring of the family; most notably (1) the grim reality that parents are getting younger and less mature, and (2) the disintegration of the two-parent, nuclear family. But I also think the proliferation of child abuse laws – effectively limiting the parents' ability to physically discipline their children – also plays into the phenomenon.
In spite of the growing culture of discliplinary quiescence, there are some parents who refuse to allow their children to run amok. For that, I tip my hat. In a society that teaches the effectiveness of nonsensical psychological measures like "Time Outs", I feel a certain sense of…I don't know…satisfaction when I see (what some would consider) more extreme actions being taken.
First, I'd be remiss to not include Exhibit A: a man kicking the holy hell out of his wannabe gangbanging nephew and embarassing him for the world to see. This video became a YouTube hit (no pun intended), to the chagrin of the thug-in-training [Warning: Strong Language]:
But more recently, a friend of mine sent the next clip. In this video, a dad caught his young daughter receiving dirty text messages on her phone. Though she didn't get a beatdown, she probably wishes she did:
I love seeing these kinds of actions from parents. While I can't declare with absolute certainty that these measures will work on everybody, I can appreciate when adults at least make an attempt. Some people will argue that methods like this contribute to the moral decline of the person subjected to the discipline…or that it could cause the young person's propensity for violence and agression to become significantly more potent.
I say, that's bulls**t.
Two moments in particular immediately come to mind when I think about how I was raised. Once in the fourth grade, I recall giving my teacher a one-finger salute. She called my mother, who then called my father. When he got to the school, he didn't even wait to find out what happened. Seemingly without thinking, he grabbed the nearest weapon he could find – an extension cord from the classroom's overhead projector – marched me into the nearest bathroom, and performed his own version of an exorcism. Trust me when I say: those demons were purged from my system that day. They never returned. I also remember once in my early teens, my mom caught me in the basement playing touchy-feely with my then-girlfriend. After she made me take her home, Mama smacked the s*** out of me when I returned. But that was only the tip of the iceberg. She made me apologize to the girls' parents, took away my driving priviledges, and gave me a solemn warning that she would put me out the next time I pulled a stunt like that. Needless to say, I learned my lesson.
Again, this doesn't work for everybody. Some people – to my surprise and bewilderment – actually don't need to get smack upside the head or have their cell phone used for batting practice in order for a message to sink in. But if it does work, you won't see my as an opponent. Anything to prevent one less thug and one less teenage mother (short of killing them) is welcomed.

Raised from the dead - historically?
February 11 2010 at 4:37 PM
Response to
It's hard to listen to
Wow, well, that's pretty surprising. To debate that from a historical perspective. Because it just doesn't happen. People aren't raised from the dead, really dead. The body starts to rot immediately upon death.
And if something like that happened, for real, historically. It would have been BIG NEWS. I mean, it would be up there with UFO's landing. Or man landing on the moon.

Uplift Education, a network of 14 charter schools across North Texas, began the new school year with a new robust anti-bullying policy drafted in collaboration with Fairness Fort Worth and the Resource Center Dallas. David Mack Henderson, president of Fairness Fort Worth, wrote on Facebook:
When school started at the 14 campuses of Uplift Education's charter schools across North Texas last week, the over 12,000 students were greeted with a new, fully inclusive anti-bullying policy that includes protections against acts "motivated either by any actual or perceived characteristic such as…sexual orientation, gender identity and expression." That policy was developed with the input of Fairness Fort Worth and Resource Center. Officials from both groups met with senior leadership of Uplift in the spring of 2012, proactively suggesting that the schools adopt a policy that would specifically protect LGBTQ and other students. Uplift developed a draft policy last fall, and turned to Fairness Fort Worth and the Center for additional input and review. The new policy was adopted by the Uplift board this spring and went into effect at the beginning of the school year.
Check out this coming week's edition of the Voice for more information on the policy.

Exclusives: Tooke's
PAW web exclusive column by Wes Tooke '98 (email: firstname.lastname@example.com)
21, 2001:
Maybe there was no miracle, but Princeton's NCAA appearance was
a gift
As a long-time fan of
the Boston Red Sox, I have learned a number of techniques for dealing
with failure. When teams I root for go into giddy nose-dives, falling
into month-long swoons that plunge them from the top of the table
to Yale-like levels of incompetence, I shrug my shoulders. When
a franchise like the Celtics goes from being the benchmark of NBA
excellence to a league joke in just a few seasons, I wonder idly
if that's the worst the fates can do.
But what I am not accustomed
to -- what sends me into long bouts of utter confusion -- are seasons
of unexpected success. So I have found the last few months to be
very trying. My expectations for Princeton basketball this year
hovered somewhere around my expectations of President Bush: I was
just hoping the Tigers wouldn't embarrass us too badly. After all,
when any basketball team loses its two stars, has no true center,
and is breaking in a coach with his first head job, the end result
is almost always disastrous.
The season opened on
exactly the kind of dismal note I had anticipated. Losing to Duke
didn't particularly upset me -- that would be a tough first game
on any team's schedule-but getting blown out by Monmouth hurt. A
lot. For most of December and January I avoided the ESPN.com college
basketball page on the theory of what I didn't know couldn't hurt
me, and I took an unnatural interest in the swimming and wrestling
teams. But after seven intense years of following Princeton basketball,
my body has acquired an internal clock, and when we entered the
month of February, I started to get jumpy on Tuesday evenings.
And then it happened.
The Tigers went into the Palestra and spanked Penn, and I was lost.
Not even that painful next weekend, when we got destroyed by Columbia
and Cornell could erase what the Penn game had started. I screamed
obscenities at Chris Berman when he announced that Brown or Yale
would win the Ivy League, rejoiced as we won four straight games
to take the Ivy League lead, and practically swooned when I saw
the box score from the second Penn game. After a short and painful
exile, Princeton had returned to the NCAA tournament.
The seeding committee,
of course, did not do us any favors. When I first saw the brackets,
three questions instantly popped into my head:
1) So, what do you suppose
Mitch Henderson and Steve Goodrich are doing these days?
2) Has anyone checked
to make sure that Chris Young really signed that contract?
3) UNC? Are you bleeping
kidding me?
Upon mature reflection,
however, I decided that things would be okay. In fact, this year
bore an uncanny resemblance to the 1988-89 season, when Princeton
nearly upset Georgetown in the decade's best game. The fact that
John Thompson III '88 was coaching the Tigers only added to my growing
conviction that another miracle could be in the works.
There was, of course,
no miracle in New Orleans -- other than that this scrappy, undersized
team got a chance to play at all. This season was an unexpected
gift to followers of Princeton basketball. Many thanks to all the
players and coaches who gave even this cynical Red Sox fan a reason
to be optimistic.

When I was around 18, 30 + years ago, we used to skive off and play Phoenix. 2 credits would easily last me and a mate for 5 hours and the machine would get shut diown before we were "killed". Duncan could score higher than either of us. We were all in excess of 1,300,000 though I can't give exact scores.
I eventually bought an arcade machine which sadly hasn't really been used. We are planning a bit of go one day to see if we can gear those scores again. pretty sure if we could do that, there will be others too. I have been told my scores were the highest ever in london when playing there but in truth, they were quite poor scores due to lack of time and rushing for big scores every time.
How do we authenticate our scores if we can get near again?

The following column was published following the death of Albany Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd on May 28, 1983.
In death, as in life, Erastus Corning had newspaper people scurrying around. When the news of his death came in a phone call from University Hospital in Boston before I p.m. Saturday our city editor shouted, "Corning is dead, Corning is dead
After a momentary, stunned pause in which one tried to assimilate this fateful news, the rushing began to implement plans laid down months ago. We were prepared for this story as we have been for few others, because he lay dying so long.
I last heard from the mayor myself shortly after my father died in January. In his own, now shaky hand, the mayor, terribly ill and debilitated, spent the effort to write a moving condolence letter, noting my father's immigrant beginnings in this country and connecting the experience with what was happening here with present-day newcomers from Vietnam.
In that kind of gesture, one can read a part of Erastus Corning's nature and personality as I had come to know him in my few years in Albany. First, he was to the occasion courtly and gracious. Second, he had a strong knowledge of history and understanding of it. He clearly saw himself and his day as part of a continuum, history in transition.
His knowledge of history was so wide that in conversation he would hold forth on aspects of American Colonial times that have not yet been treated in formal histories. He talked as if he yearned to turn his attention to such concerns. He expressed a desire to write about the origins of this country and why, at our earliest stage, we developed in the way we did. What was present in Erastus Corning's unconsciousness, a listener to his discourse decided, was the insight that history was not predetermined, that all things might have been different than they were.
Distant history was not the mayor's only long suit. His qualities as a raconteur really bloomed as he recounted the tales of the old politicos and how they played their parts in Albany. Not only were the anecdotes funny, they made the larger point that individual human idiosyncrasies make our times what they are.
In many cities there is a natural tension between incumbent mayor and the local newspaper. That is part of the game, given the distinct function and responsibilities of each. In Albany those tensions tended to be stronger because the newspapers so often found themselves decrying what the mayor was doing, and had been doing for long ' Absent a political opposition. in power for generations, the newspapers frequently were the only element to act as a check on excess.
Relations between the newspapers and the mayor were especially poor, even bitter, when the papers were still being published downtown. One story has it that we moved our plant from Sheridan Avenue to Wolf Road, which spurred the development of Colonie, because the Albany organization did not make it possible for the paper to continue publishing from its downtown site.
Whatever the past, in recent years even when we categorically, disagreed, the mayor kept a tone of civility and even warmth to us. And we, for our part tried to make sure that our criticisms were to a point and for a need, and not merely a knee-jerk reaction.
From time to time we would receive a letter of complaint from the mayor, frequently involving a matter of nature. We would have written a story about, or published a photograph of, a certain tree or flower, or animal. We would have made some sort of error in our weather chart, which he read daily with the closest attention. Invariably his complaint would be totally justified.
The mayor never complained about an interpretation of fact, only about error of fact, He clearly was sensitive to the distinction between the two, as few people are.
During his long, last illness, I saw the mayor twice, both times after he had written to invite me. Before receiving his call, I had refrained from imposing myself on his hospital regimen, lest that interfere with his treatment. But occasionally the mayor did think of our papers. Our chats at Albany Medical Center Hospital were brief, but during each the mayor focused on the future, on his plans and hopes for Albany, of trying new ventures and using fresh approaches. As I left the last time I saw him, he said, "Harry, we're going to have some fun together."
Before very long, all the things that can be said about Erastus Corning will be said. He will be praised for his tenure and his tenacity, for his wit and elegance, for the man he was and the man he might have been.
To us in Albany he has given texture to our lives, as much or more than any other political figure, including presidents and governors. The time is yet to come for new approaches and changes.
Today as we mourn Erastus Corning, we celebrate a famous life and praise a famous man. Some of the salt and the savor has departed from this community, it is good to spend a bit of time to reflect on what he was and what he meant to us all.
Harry Rosenfeld was editor of the Times Union. He is currently the Times Union Editor at Large and continues to sit on the newspaper's editorial board and write a weekly column.
