Tigers favored over Giants in World Series
Oct 23, 2012, 12:48 PM EDT
San Francisco won six more games than Detroit during the regular season, but the Tigers are sizable favorites over the Giants in the World Series.
Bovada has Detroit as -180 favorites, which means you'd have to risk $180 to win $100 on the Tigers and means they'd have to win the series 65 percent of the time for that bet to be profitable.
Fresh off a dominant sweep of the Yankees and with a fully rested Justin Verlander matched up against Barry Zito in Game 1 it's definitely not surprising that the Tigers are favored–Lance Berkman agrees, for instance–but -180 is maybe a little surprising considering the Giants have homefield advantage.
I'll keep an eye on the betting line to see if it moves strongly one way or another before the first pitch tomorrow night.

David Coursey, Contributor
I write about technology and people, trying to get along.
Dropbox, the online file system, may be "tech's hottest startup" but that does not mean the company will survive.
There is always a " hottest startup" in tech and in most cases the level of heat is almost inversely proportional to likelihood of lasting success.
Avoiding a dramatic flameout is Job #1 for the young company. My bet is that five years from now, most users will think of Dropbox only in the context of "Whatever happened to?"
Update: I have posted a follow-up that answers some of the questions and comments about this article.
Forbes' Victoria Barret has written a wonderful insider piece about Dropbox that you can read here. She describes an early meeting between Dropbox founder Drew Houston and Apple's Steve Jobs.
Jobs smiled warmly as he told them he was going after their market. "He said we were a feature, not a product," says Houston.
Steve was right. Houston's job — along with his partner Arash Ferdowski — is to prove Steve Jobs wrong, but it won't be easy and few have succeeded.
Over the years, I've seen dozens, probably hundreds, of product demonstrations where I told a hopeful entrepreneur they were showing me a feature and not a product. I can't remember a single one that survived intact.
Most ended up being purchased and rolled into something else (as Jobs tried to do with Dropbox) while others just disappeared. Longterm, I don't see Dropbox surviving as a standalone company, though its founders may get very rich in the meantime.
What's the difference between feature and product?
A feature is something that really belongs or can easily be built into something that already exists. For example, iCloud, essentially Steve Jobs' version of Dropbox, is integrated with the operating system and applications on Apple devices and works with Windows as well.
An application goes further and presents a convincing argument that it needs to stand alone. This is especially difficult if users are asked to pay for it separately, as heavy Dropbox users are.
To Dropbox's credit, they have done an excellent job of building their feature. It works great, I use it daily, but I am using a free account (you can get one, too) and probably wouldn't pay for it.
For investment implications of Dropbox, please see
David, .
I agree that Dropbox is going to have a tough time in the future as I consider the lock-in very low (moving files from one folder to another is easy and I do get the same features from SugarSync with almost 3x the space for free) and the network effects almost 0 with an estimated more than 90% of paying users not even knowing how to use those. But you have to give it to the guys for building a strong brand and maybe that's going to save them after all.
However, I am a bit confused about your definition of a feature vs. a product. From your definition PayPal and MySQL must also be features because they cannot create the most value when not integrated somewhere else
Would you mind elaborating on that relatively short paragraph of yours?
Thanks, HSS
To rurikbradbury above/or below uniqueness is absolute, cannot be more nor less :)
Agnostic must be way forward . . .
always been a long time Apple but, for 1st time this summer on replacing iPhone(3G) with similar, it resulted in a need to replace 5yr old PowerBook G4 all because the pre-Intel Mac was no longer supported for an iTunes version that allowed me to configure the new old iPhone. Great, got a new MacBook Pro. Subsequently, invested in an iPad as our technology flows through it and thought it would be sweet in demo room. Now all this Apple tin seems a little creepy, still prefer it to competition but, it's still what you do with it that counts. How do you break that geek cliche, 'if you're serious about software get into hardware'? We remain focussed on the tin and whilst we do that the competing ecosystems of Google/M$FT/AMZN/Apple. Agree that DropBox has limited lifespan since all it is only opening up network for storage not for application. Go with the flow, drop into database Liquid . . .
I'm writing this on my ipad, when i'm out in a moment i'll have my android phone, tomorrow I will be using my xp desktop at work. How does icloud sync between these, it doesn't, and it never will.
Apple couldn't care less about any product the doesn't start with an "i". They will never ever support android, and icloud will remain an apple syncing system that media types love, and everyone else just ignores.
Your analysis is right on spot. Also sometimes a product dies when the novelty begins to wear off or alternative products/substitutes come into play. For example, I really dont need that kind of dynamic sync on multiple devices. Also, I dont trust the cloud. So, I selectively backup/sync my data with external drives [that come with such software] and then use Binfer [http://www.binfer.com] to keep selective backup at my dads computer to have a remote copy. I guess cloud based backup is useful for folks who are constantly on the move and need to access from multiple device.
Nice piece, David. Dropbox is well done, and I use it daily as well. But I agree it does feel a lot more like a platform feature than a product. Not selling would be a mistake, though not selling early is not necessarily a mistake.
(I do have one pet peeve with Dropbox. Dragging a file to every other external device on the Mac results in a file copy, whereas it results in a move for Dropbox. That continually trips me up.)
Although the article is logically structured, it follows a somewhat uni-dimensional logic. Granted, Dropbox may cease to exist as a standalone product in a few years but then again, similar predictions were made about Google when it ventured into Yahoo territory 13 years ago. Was Google back then a product or a feature? According to the article's definition, Google is definitely a bundle of both products AND features today. Not many people associate Apple today with the company that was on the verge of bankruptcy 15 years ago and which was unattractive to be even taken over by another giant. When Microsoft launched it's Windows CE mobile OS, many experts predicted the end of the cell phone as we knew it and Microsoft's domination of what is known as the 'smartphone' market. Until 2 years ago, even RIM's own management could not imagine any other device taking the place of their Blackberry smartphone, just as Nokia turned 2 blind eyes from the ever growing smartphone market. Well, guess who changed and now dominates that same market today? How did Apple manage that? It simply focused on the consumer more than the product. The point I'm making is that even the best-founded predictions can go wrong and that the growth and survival of Dropbox will pretty much depend on how quickly it keeps up with and adapts to changes in the consumer 'experience'. I've had my free Dropbox account for nearly a year now and I can tell you that it's been of the most valuable "preature" (product-feature) I've used in years. It too, just works! And not only on Apple devices.
I wouldn't be surprised if Google or Yahoo or somebody either bought them or started an equally useful service that offered more for free (storage is ever getting cheaper) that made Dropbox redundant. Except for the client, the rest of the features can be bought off the shelf in a quality NAS for less than $500.
I don't understand the different between feature and product.
dropbox is cross-platform and that's it's strength – and it fulfill a need to storage what make it different from diskonkey for example.
about patent i'm not sure that today patents are as useful – consider the iPhone case today some of the android are equal or even better (Samsung galaxy 2).

The Salem News
---- — SALEM — Hurricane Sandy was so scary that even some of the haunted houses shut down yesterday.
Although final decisions will depend on the weather, city officials expect the Haunted Happenings celebration to go on as scheduled Halloween night.
"We're all waiting to see what the storm does, but we're hoping we'll be OK for Wednesday," Kate Fox, executive director of Destination Salem, the city's tourism office, said early yesterday.
The size of the Halloween crowds tomorrow will likely depend on the damage from Hurricane Sandy and how long the storm lingers on the North Shore. As of yesterday, city officials said they were not making any changes in their Halloween plans.
"I'm proceeding, right now, as if it's going to be business as usual," said police Capt. Brian Gilligan, who oversees a force of 150 officers on Halloween night.
The fate of the Halloween fireworks will be determined today. For the past few years, fireworks have been shot off over the North River around 10:15 Halloween night to signal the end of the celebration. If there are still strong winds, however, the fireworks could be canceled.
"Rain is not as much of a problem as the wind," said Ellen Talkowsky, the city's special projects coordinator.
One early casualty of Hurricane Sandy is the high-tech projection mapping show that NightRide Visuals planned to show on the side of Tabernacle Church. The company canceled plans yesterday. They can't risk the expensive equipment being out in a storm, Talkowsky said.
Some of the stages set up for Halloween night are not covered, so rain could prevent a few bands from playing, she said.
Since police rely on outside officers from other departments, Gilligan is watching events in the area in case police are called away for emergencies in their home communities.
Among the closings yesterday were the Salem Witch Museum, The House of the Seven Gables, the New England Pirate Museum, Count Orlok's Nightmare Gallery, Mahi Mahi Cruises, the Salem ferry and the Salem Trolley.
Mayor Kim Driscoll was scheduled to meet this morning with department heads to assess conditions in the city and to make final Halloween plans.
Salem gets up to 100,000 visitors on Halloween day.

Steven Bertoni, Forbes Staff
I cover technology, entrepreneurs and billionaires.
Pointed toward his 18-acre compound in Marin County, Sean Parker rips through the night fog on the Golden Gate Bridge in a stealthy Audi S6 that masks a Lamborghini engine, one pale hand on the wheel, the other toggling through thousands of songs uploaded on the car's sound system.
Facebook's former president has had a busy, typical day. Over the last ten hours he's interviewed two potential VPs for his new video startup, answered hours' worth of e-mails about the music platform he's backing, Spotify, and met with a potential CEO for his Facebook charity app, Causes. He's also booking bands and wrangling vendors for his engagement party, scheduled in New Jersey the same night Hurricane Irene looks to hammer the Northeast (with Lenny Kravitz grounded in North Carolina, he eventually subs in the Cold War Kids). He breaks from work to dine with Jack Dorsey, the chief of Facebook rival Twitter and payment service Square. After dinner, at the restaurant bar, he interviews another potential boss for Causes. By the time he drops me off at my hotel, it's 11:30 p.m. Parker's day is about half done.
(Want more Sean Parker updates? Check out his Facebook page.)
For the next six hours Parker fires off e-mails, then turns to his private Facebook page. The previous afternoon—or earlier the same day, if you're on Parker's body clock—the world had learned that Steve Jobs resigned from Apple. Around 6 a.m. Parker posts this Schopenhauer quote: "We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends, namely, when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success." It immediately leaks. Gossip site Gawker accuses him of dancing on Jobs' grave. He e-mails Gawker that the quote was a tribute to Jobs—his longtime idol and more recent rival (iTunes versus Spotify). Just before 7 a.m. he goes to bed.
Four hours later he's up, ready to do it all again.
Flighty, manic and unpredictable, Parker grates on investors—he's been jettisoned from the three companies he helped create, soon after they lifted off. "He's seen as an unknown quantity, and VCs love for things to be very much in control," says Facebook cofounder Dustin Moskovitz. But VCs also love big ideas, and Parker has those in spades— LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman calls him a "big-ass visionary." And in terms of boardroom scheming, he's nothing like his fictional portrayal in The Social Network. "The movie needed an antagonist, but that's not what he was," says former Facebook growth chief Chamath Palihapitiya. "He's really the exact opposite of his portrayal in the film."
(Follow me on Twitter at @StevenBertoni)
Boiled down, Sean Parker is a human accelerant, an idea catalyst who, when combined with the right people, has fueled some of the most disruptive companies of the last two decades. At just 19 he blew up the record industry as the cofounder of the music-sharing site Napster. Two years later his address book service, Plaxo, demonstrated the potency of digital propagation, something he took a step further as the 24-year-old president of Facebook, helping the social network become the most important Internet company since, well, maybe ever. Yes, all three companies eventually bounced him, but not before, at just 31, he tucked away enough equity to boast an estimated fortune of $2.1 billion. And he's just getting started.
I got my free black macbook at http://getamacboook.gu.ma/
Nice article! But, I m curious as to what kind of corporate structure Sean helped Mark set-up?
For example, where you said which helped prevent dilution. How would one structure a company to have such advantages?
Thanks, informative article – supports the value of the social network with any upstart, so long as it's the right social network and you have the formula to bring an idea to IPO and beyond. I admire Parker's drive and creative imagination, which is probably, in part, due to ADD as the description of his behavior would so indicate.
RE: Facebook
Quote: "He wanted to pretty much GUARANTEE that you are who you say you are on the Internet"
Dummm Dummm Dummm Dummmmmm.
Boy. I must have 5 different ID's on Facebook. And none of them are me.
Get Educated before doing a Forbes Interview.
Positive ID is not affirmed. In fact all the info I give Facebook is deliberately false info. Wrong Political Affiliation, wrong likes, wrong music tastes. And every single one of my "friends"? NONE of them know me.
Do some homework little man before embarking on a Forbes interview. Your embarrassing yourself.
The Video interview is an embarassing one for Forbes. They have hired someone to get an "Inner View" Interview and they have a cover story for someone who is the alter ego of Sean Parker.
The Real Sean Parker: A hack (ie. hacker), an Accidental Millionaire.
The Forbes Parker: A brand, man who knows what he's doing, not a hack, not a hacker, not an accidental millionaire.
Dear Forbes, you got very few things right in this "Innerview" Interview. Go back and try again with a better reporter. PASS
Good to hear from you Steven.
Actually its not really 'cheating' a system. Facebook is so lax about its policies that I could take your photo, your name and put it up and no one will the wiser. In fact, most people have done exactly that with super stars and they have to finally come out and say "This is not the real ____".
Facebook is FAR from a Govt ID. You can log on as anyone with any photo with any name in 60 seconds flat. If you would like a Demo, i'd be happy to show you. Any name. Any photo. UNCONFIRMED by Facebook.
So when you go about, real gung ho, saying that Facebook is an ironclad way of a persons ID, I would have to say you are dead wrong.
Exhibit A
Facebook has thousands of prostitutes who sell their services via this 'social network'. They do not display their real names.
Exhibit B
VIP's always use aliases. Why would someone want to use their real name, when they can make their point and not have to draw criticism to something controversial they said.
The fact of the matter is Facebook is littered with fake ID's. It does not make any attempt at all whatsoever in the slightest manner in trying to confirm an identity. Ever.
Why would someone like to create a fake ID? Maybe its a way of saying whats on their mind, engaging in debate, without having to undermine or underline their name. This is a very common practice.
So again, when you say "HE pretty much wanted to Guarantee that you say who you say you are"? I will make you this guarantee: I can provide you with the presence of 1000 fake profiles in less than an hour.
Come on Steven. Some home work, buddy.
Actually, if you were to do a formal study you will find that it is far more than yours truly who has five different accounts and not one of them is his/her own identity.
Facebook is overrated. For reasons as to why anyone would put up a fake Facebook, ask the person who portrayed Mr. Z in the movie. He doesnt even have a FB profile. I'm pretty damned sure, if he ever did, it would be fake. Its the only realm where celebs can be normal people by assuming the ID of a normal person.
We are no "Facebook Renegades" . We are the Status Quo. You just dont know about it. Some homework Steven. Amongst that homework? The role of In-Q-Tel and Pentagon superstar Anita Jones in formation of Facebook. Come on Steven. Are you that wet behind the ears?
The REAL story here Mr. Bertoni, has nothing to do with fake side of Facebook.
A. Type in the words Pentagon and Anita Jones and see if the words: Facebook and Defense Department also dont show up.
B. You didn not even bother to ask the role of In Q Tel in initial seed formation for Facebook.
YEAH. Sean is a real Agent. But not in the way you think. I challenge you to write about the role of Anita Jones and IN Q Tel in formation of 1st steps for Facebook.
HINT: Facebook should be ended with a dot gov not a com (Just ask Anita Jones and In Q Tel)
Address it: I double dare Ya.
Don't let fear Rule you.
Its got nothing to do with fear. Its got to do with accuracy.
I always get a kick from "Journalists" who look to the roots but never bother asking how did this thing come together, who made it into being what it is.
Questions for you my dear Journalists, is:
1. Who is In Q Tel?
2. Why would IN Q Tel fund origin seed money for Facebook?
3. What is the role of Sean and In Q Tel?
4. What did IN Q Tel get out of it?
5. Do you know? What In Q Tel does? Well, do you punk? No?
More questions:
A. Who is Anita Jones?
B. Did she work at the Pentagon?
C. Is she in charge of Information at the DOD?
D. Why is she at Facebook?
Come on Steven et al. You Journalists you. Your giving me goose bumps. WTF Ever happened to Journalism in this country? Everyone is trying to be Vanity Fair.

After years of denials, seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong admitted to using illegal performance-enhancing drugs during his cycling career earlier this week.
The admission drew a mixed reaction in Rockland County.
"A lot of people were closely connected that sport and know of Armstrong," said Nanuet resident Jamie Kempton, President of the Rockland County Road Runners. "The people I spoke to and myself, there was a trust broken there. I don't think it can be repaired. All this time, he'd been saying, 'I didn't do drugs. I achieved those seven victories the clean way. Now to acknowledge this, his credibility took a real hit.
"Here's a fellow who based his life story on the fact that he had gotten cancer and he overcame it to become a champion cyclist. In hindsight it was a fraud. He didn't achieve it by legal means."
Rob Ohnikian, owner of Bicycle Depot in Pearl River, said the story is less of a conversation starter now than it would have been in the warmer months in his store.
"It was talked about during the summer and fall," Ohnikian said. "He put road bike racing back on the map. You see everybody road cycling. The Tour de France wins did that. It's a shame. My opinion is if everyone is doing it, he's doing to do it to level the playing field. It's a sign of today's times."
Ohnikian and Albert Marrero of Congers Bike Shop, said they do not expect the news to have an impact on their business.
"My business was affected when he was riding and winning," Ohnikian said. "I don't know if there will be any negative effects now.
"The Lance Armstrong situation hasn't affected my business, but the he's affected his sponsors and the people who invested in him," said Marrero, referring to merchandise that Armstrong has branded over the years. "It was a tragedy, but it's been dragged out for too long. Leave him alone, he's confessed now. I think he should be fined, but not jailed. Let him live his life. He can't bike anymore and that's what he loved. He's heartbroken. His name is ruined and he'll have to live with this for the rest of his life. Isn't that punishment enough? He needs credit for all the good he's done for cancer."
Dave Nazaroff, owner of Toga Bike Shop in Nyack, said the news was not a big surprise to those who had been following Armstrong's story.
"Lance doesn't affect people riding bikes. People are obviously disappointed with what he had to say, but it wasn't a shock to everybody. Anyone who is serious about cycling and rides a lot and follows the Lance Armstrong situation is not (surprised). I hope people still donate to the cause against cancer (Livestrong).
"It's much bigger than Lance. He didn't start it and he won't end it, drugs and sports. It was just the culture of cycling at the time," said Nazaroff, referring to other sports with similar issues, such as baseball. "It's nothing compared to society and other issues. This is a big story and makes news headlines. But as far as cycling, hopefully it'll make the sport cleaner."
Kempton said Armstrong provided a boost to endurance sports in general, not just cycling, but the impact of his PED use can't be anything but negative.
"He was a towering figure. He went above the sport of cycling," Kempton said. "That was then and this is now. There is a saying that any recognition is good recognition. In this case, it is just so overwhelmingly negative."

It's time to make sure all your family and friends know about the Fort Gibson Fireworks Show at 9 p.m. Thursday at the high school stadium. It begins with our customary prayer and National Anthem, followed by the fireworks at about 9:15.
Admission is free, and despite the renovation to the football field, the west side of the stadium will be open for families to come and enjoy the show. Of course, the field will be closed, and there will be no parking or sitting on the east side of the bleachers.
Each year our fireworks show gets bigger and better, thanks to our sponsors — the Town of Fort Gibson, Fort Gibson State Bank, along with help from OG&E and Edward Jones Investments-Mark Young. The concession stand will not be open, so families are encouraged to bring drinks and picnic baskets. We ask that everyone clean up after themselves.
The Fort Gibson Chamber of Commerce is proud to bring this show to our town each year, and we always appreciate the positive remarks we receive as a result of the free fireworks display. Don't miss this year's great event.
Although it's a bit early, I want all the runners out there to mark Aug. 24 on their calendar. We added a 10K run to our annual run event. The course will change this year. It will start at the soccer fields on the northeast end of the school buildings, go through neighborhoods, and around our historic town before finishing back at the school. We will have a 5K and Mile Fun Run, in conjunction with the new 10K.
The course has been certified and is a USATF sanctioned run, with support from Cherokee Nation's Wings program. A lot more news about this new run will be coming shortly, but it is important to mark the date on your calendar. It is a week earlier than usual.
We will be soliciting help from many clubs and groups in the community to get the word out to all those neighborhoods that will be affected for a short period on that Saturday morning.
Race start time is 7:30 a.m. so we can beat the heat.
There will be no weekly Chamber luncheon Thursday. Beginning July 11, we will be meeting each week at 11:30 a.m. Thursdays at the Courtyard Bistro for our weekly get-together.
Bring a friend, and come join us.
Don't forget to check out the weekly Farmer's Market. It runs from 3 to 7 p.m. each Thursday at Langston Park. There is no booth fee for those wanting to sell their homegrown or homemade goods.
If you go
WHAT: Fort Gibson Fireworks Show.
WHEN: Prayer and national anthem begins at 9 p.m. Fireworks show begins at approximately 9:15 p.m.
WHERE: Fort Gibson High School stadium.

Windsor followed suit with much of the state in Tuesday's general election, with democrats winning big in almost every race.
Windsor residents voted heavily in favor of President Barack Obama, casting 11,461 votes for the president and 4,305 for challenger Mitt Romney.
Similarly, Windsor voters chose Chris Murphy over Linda McMahon in the race for Senator Joe Lieberman's soon-to-be-vacated seat.
Murphy received over 10,000 votes in Windsor to McMahon's nearly 5,000.
The one race that did not go the Democrats' way in town was the 7th senatorial district.
Incumbent John Kissel (R) held on to edge out Karen Jarmoc (D) by fewer than 1,000 votes.
Locally, all incumbent elected officials remain in place after Tuesday's vote, including State Rep. David Baram (D-15), State Rep. Peggy Sayers (D-60), State Rep. Elaine O'Brien (D-61) and State Sen. Eric Coleman (D-2).
Coleman defeated Windsor resident Malvie Lennon (R) to hold on to his seat.
Lennon was one of two Windsor residents on the ballot, the other being Republican Paul Panos, who lost his bid for the redrawn fifth assembly district seat to Hartford's Brandon McGee.
Windsor residents also voted in favor of funding MDC's clean water project.

Parking is available at the base of the Homer Spit at the intersection with Kachemak Drive. An extension of the trail to the end of the Spit is coming soon.

WILMINGTON, Del. -- Stuart Holden's face is turning purple. Below the carefully cultivated dark-blond hair with trademark frosted tips, which often gets him mistaken for '90s teenybopper Aaron Carter, his small features crunch up.
The Bolton and U.S. midfielder is laying on his side, getting his healing left knee worked on by longtime U.S. national team physio James Hashimoto in his Elite PT practice. (Don't be fooled by the name; it's an unpretentious place, stowed away in the basement of an inconspicuous community center on the outskirts of town.) "I'll send a picture of my T-shirt to Nigel de Jong," Holden jokes in between stretches, smiling through the strain. Marked Man, reads the shirt, which was white until he spilled coffee on it earlier in the morning.
Stuart Holden, working with U.S. national team physio James Hashimoto. "I'll send a picture of my T-shirt to Nigel de Jong," Holden jokes, in reference to the "Marked Man" design.
Dozens of U.S. players have made the same agonized faces on this very massage table during rehab sessions with the affable Hash (rhymes with "posh," not "dash") -- Brian McBride, Ernie Stewart, Claudio Reyna, Tab Ramos, Oguchi Onyewu, Tony Meola: all the big ones. "I don't think I'd make it into that team," Holden cracks again.
"Coming here is like a bucket list thing for these guys," says Hashimoto, a stocky man with a tight buzz cut and a loose smile. But Hash can't think of anyone other than Cory Gibbs who has spent more time here than Holden, 26, has.
Consider the evidence: torn meniscus as a junior in high school; fractured eye socket after an unprovoked punch-up while at Sunderland; broken ankle in a bad tackle during a trial at Leicester City; a Bolton Wanderers trial parlayed into a man-of-the-match EPL debut just days before a Nigel de Jong-induced broken leg during a U.S.-Netherlands friendly; his splendid 2010-11 season -- in which The Guardian's readers rated him the best player of the season's first half and he was named Bolton's player of the year -- was ended by a freak collision with Jonny Evans, one of whose cleats got caught in and broke Holden's left knee; a 90-minute man-of-the-match outing against Aston Villa that revealed acute cartilage damage and yet another long recovery.
This is Holden's third rehab stint in Delaware, all within a year, totaling almost five months of daily exercises split up into two three-hour sessions that are monotonous at best, excruciating at worst. (Sometimes he follows them up with a third workout on his own.) He'll be there another month at least and is unlikely to play another game this season. Hash and Holden are loath to set a timetable for the player's return, as recovery from a cartilage injury is unpredictable. So yes, the two men have seen much more of each other than either would like, no matter how fond they are of each other. "Other patients say we're like an old married couple," says Holden, who jokes that he'll help Hash cut the umbilical cord when his wife delivers their first baby in a few days. At one point they bicker over where to go for dinner.
At least he still has a sense of humor. Read the whole thing.

It was a rough week for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Three defeats out of four, 19 goals allowed. Even Marc-Andre Fleury, his superb season suppressed by the star power around him, stopped just 52 of 66 shots he faced (a .788 save percentage) in taking those three losses.
Two weeks ago, rivals raved about Pittsburgh's lineup.
"It's unfair," said one GM. "Beating them is going to be a major upset," said another. It seemed a foregone conclusion they would catch the Rangers, win the Atlantic Division and hold the Eastern Conference's number one seed for the playoffs.
Now, New York needs just one point (or one Pittsburgh loss) to prevent that. The respect for the Penguins' roster remains extremely high, but this team's put itself in a tougher spot.
Those same GMs (and some other execs) were asked what they saw as the Penguins' greatest weakness heading into the playoffs. The obvious answer was injuries, since some critical players (Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang) have unfortunate medical histories.
The second answer was a brutal early opponent. "If you're a big-time Stanley Cup contender, you'd love to see them get a team like Boston early on," one executive said. "Because, even if the Bruins lose, they're going to take a pound of flesh out of them."
Enter Philadelphia.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the best vintages since the great 2002, this is a sophisticated, fruit- and yeast-driven wine. It has a delicate touch, with its white fruit flavors well integrated into the toasty and tangy texture. It will age for many more years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Well-balanced, exhibiting flavors of light toast, Gala apple, honey and ginger, with smoke and mineral notes underscoring hints of tropical pineapple and tangerine fruit. There's lovely texture, with a firm backbone of juicy acidity."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Light, bright gold, with a hint of green. Ripe pear and orange on the nose, with notes of nougat and yellow plum adding complexity. Smooth and fleshy in the mouth, offering juicy orchard and pit fruit flavors sharpened by a spicy nuance. The spicy finish features solid punch and good focus."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2004 Blanc de Blancs is vivid and captivating from the very first taste. White orchard fruit, smoke, slate and wild flowers are some of the many notes that come alive in a dazzling Champagne that captures the essence of this great Chardonnay vintage. Veins of underlying salinity and acidity..
Cellar/Tasting Notes A blend of 66% Pinot Noir and 34% Chardonnay, this is opulent and full bodied, with toast and wood flavors. Rich and ripe, this beautiful wine is generous and still young, with just a touch of bitterness at the end.
Cellar/Tasting Notes The Gosset-Brabant Reserve Grand Cru Champagne is powerful and complex with notes of cherry, plum, mushrooms, chalk and brioche. Deeper and fuller with fresh acidity and a long, velvety finish.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Tightly knit, focused by racy acidity and a streak of minerality, this offers subtle notes of white peach, anise, biscuit and kumquat. The refined finish echoes a smoky note."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "With its extra touch of richness and a feeling of maturity, this remains a benchmark non-vintage Champagne. It has flavors of ripe white fruits, balancing acidity with just a touch of final softness."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a thouroughbred, elegant sparkler. With its delicate acidity, apple and grapefruit flavors, and tense, steely texture, it is an extremely well-blanced wine. Although it is ready to drink now, it could certainly age in bottle for many years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... The 2004 is all about minerality, precision and tension. ... its crystalline purity and sheer energy. Bright hints of lemon oil, white flowers and crushed rocks are layered into the pointed, vibrant finish."

It is a fact of life that as an elected official, no matter how hard I try, I can't make everyone happy. It's simply a reflection of how we each view things differently and, frankly, that's not a bad thing. What's difficult is when we agree on where we should be heading, but can't agree on how best to get there.
That happened to me recently when speaking to a constituent. I realized that sometimes enthusiasm for change can lead to disappointment when it takes longer than expected. I know the pulse of people I serve is best taken by listening to them, so in light of this I thought readers of this column may have similar questions.
This came about because it's a re-election year for me and to kick off my campaign I passed out some literature that listed a few of what I feel to be our state's major accomplishments the last 2 years. I mentioned my work on:
- the 2 percent property tax cap
- the middle-class income tax cut that reduced the rate to the lowest its' been in 58 years
- the repeal of the MTA payroll tax that was killing our small businesses and nonprofits
- and last but not least, our that reduced spending and closed $13 billion in deficits with no new taxes or fees.
Sounds great, right? Well, not to everyone. While I expect to defend my efforts to those who embrace a tax-and-spend mentality, I recently found myself justifying them to the very people who agree with my more disciplined fiscal approach. They said property taxes should be cut, not capped; income tax should be eliminated, not lowered; the MTA tax should be completely repealed and budget deficits should have never existed to begin with.
Talk about taking the wind out of your sails. We know all too well that more has to be done and we're going to do it, but realistically we first had to put the brakes on the runaway train. It wasn't easy. We had to overcome those interests that clung to the status quo and refused to budge. We worked in extraordinary bi-partisan fashion with our governor and members of the Assembly to get New York back on the road to financial health. Truth is, we can't undo years of state mismanagement overnight, nor can I explain why past governors and legislatures didn't try sooner. I do know that we were in dire straits and that job one for the new Senate was getting spending and taxes under control. We did that and much more.
It was just 2 short years ago, before I was elected, that more than $14 billion in tax increases were imposed on everyday New Yorkers. A mind-boggling 200 new taxes and fees were invented in 2010 alone – right down to taxing the slicing of a bagel (honestly). That was the type of disconnect there was in Albany. Few had the courage to make tough choices and those that did were outnumbered.
We changed that but New York is not a speed boat that can switch direction on a dime. The State is more like a super tanker and it takes lots of strategy and cooperation to turn her around. Our budget and our economy are larger than those of most countries so patient dedication to our cause, regardless of obstacles, is the key to our success. While I obviously subscribe to an approach centered on fiscal restraint and accountability, I don't understand the "all or nothing" approach that allows people to simply throw up their hands and walk away from our challenges. As much as I would love to see immediate results, our work more often than not is directed at longer term solutions – building a better future. Thanks to the efforts of many over these past 2 years, New York is doing precisely that.
I could quote every idiom in the book: learn to walk before you can run, Rome wasn't built in a day, slow and steady wins the race – but that doesn't mean I can get everyone to appreciate just how accurately they apply to New York. The bottom line is we are making real and measurable progress. Acknowledging our common-sense victories is how we keep the positive momentum going.
Sen. Jack Martins is the representative of New York's Seventh Senatorial District. He was elected to the State Senate in 2010 as a Republican from Mineola.

It isn't a group loaded with household names, and by the numbers, it is clear that more improvement is still needed, but the Browns' defense has shown some promise in 2010. And with the majority of its regular starters under contract through at least 2011, the core of the group figures to be back next season.
The defense stood especially tall in upsets of New Orleans and New England, intercepting Saints QB Drew Brees four times in the former and holding the Patriots to just 14 points in the latter — a performance looking better and better by the week with New England's offense currently in top form. Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan is capable of creating schemes that confound the opposition, and his players clearly relish playing for him, the way we hear it.
The defense has shown marked improvement playing the run. Opponents averaged 4.57 yards a rush a season ago but are averaging just 4.00 yards per carry in 2010. Solid play from the front seven has made the Browns tougher to crack in the run game, and the emergence of NT Ahtyba Rubin has played a key role in this regard. Through 10 games, Rubin had 51 tackles, and he has earned high praise from both Ryan and head coach Eric Mangini for his considerable improvement this season. The 6-2, 330-pound Rubin's motor has garnered particular notice.
"Nobody in the league plays defensive tackle the way he does," Ryan said recently. "... I told him a technique I wanted him to use in short yardage, and he came up to me and was like, 'Well, Rob, how am I going to get to the guy with the ball?' And I'm like, 'You know what Rub, do exactly what you do,' because I've had guys that can't move, that stand there and don't do anything, and it pisses you off watching them.
"This guy's phenomenal. This guy gives more effort. He's tough as (heck); you can't run on him."
The pass defense has surrendered a few too many big plays this season, but it's also a group with potential, with rookie CB Joe Haden rapidly improving and fellow first-year player T.J. Ward starting from Week One at safety. Overall, the defense is clearly in better shape than when Mangini and Ryan arrived — and its upside for further development is apparent.

Strip down and detune the Daytona 675 from British manufacturer Triumph Motorcycles, and you essentially have the Triumph Street. Light and fun to drive, the Street Triple – the ""Triple"" stands for its three-cylinder engine – made its debut towards the end of 2007, following the introduction of its cousin the year before.
Although the engine of the 2007 Triumph Street has the same 675-cubic centimeter displacement as the aptly named Daytona 675, it is a little less powerful. Each '07 Street engine generates 107 horsepower at 11,700 revolutions per minute (RPM) and 51 pound-feet of torque at 9,100 RPM. Following the double overhead camshaft configuration, the engine has four intake valves on each of its three cylinders. Its bore and stroke is 2.92 by 2.06 inches, and the compression ratio is 12.65 to 1. Each unit is liquid-cooled to prevent malfunction due to overheating.
The 2007 Triumph Street feels relatively light due to its aluminum frame, which reduces the weight of the motorcycle but still retains its sturdiness. Also, the bike is barely draped in plastic; apart from the customary front and rear fenders, the vehicle is practically naked. However, the skeletal look makes the 2007 Street more visually aggressive; and Triumph provides three choices of exterior color finishes: Fusion White, Jet Black and Roulette Green. Adding to the aesthetics are 17-inch aluminum wheels, which are fitted with tubeless Pirelli® tires.
For standard digital instrumentation, each 2007 Triumph Street Triple has a clock, lap timer, tachometer, trip odometer, trip computer, temperature and fuel level warning gauge, and speedometer. For seating, Triumph provides a one-piece vinyl seat big enough for two people. A halogen headlight and a pair of rearview mirrors function as vision enhancements.
With a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $7,999, the 2007 Triumph Street measures around 80 inches in height, 29 inches in width and 49.2 inches in height. The wheelbase and dry weight are 54.9 inches and 368 lbs., respectively. Triumph sets the two-occupant seat height at 31.7 inches and gives each bike a 4.6-gallon fuel tank.
Later model years of the Triumph Street Triple would only refine upon the strengths of the inaugUral edition, not to mention introduce additional variants. Still, the 2007 Street still holds up well after all these years, which is mainly due to providing more than enough ultimate excitement for a standard motorcycle.


text: How to Wear the Military Trend | Fall 2012 Beyond Camouflage: How to Wear Fall's Military-Inspired Pieces by Marisa Tom 10/24/12 5 Reactions 20 Shares Print 2 4 14 0 0 The military-inspired look isn't a fleeting trend, and we've got the Fall '12 runways to back us up. Instead of just erring on the side of traditional camouflage prints and surplus army parkas, there's a new breed of structural pieces that point to an updated take on utilitarian silhouettes and cavalry-influenced details. Victoria Beckham presented a strong olive-green-and-black palette that gave way to a particularly feminine crop of military-inspired sheaths — not your average cargo dress. Altuzarra put a luxe fur-trimmed spin on parkas and khaki pants, Jason Wu toughened up his vest selection with a military twist, and Burberry provided the perfect balance of equestrian meets old-school military. As with any heavily themed trend, the trick is never to go overboard — one piece per ensemble is always enough. Thus, we're looking to incorporate the coolest military trench coat into our off-duty wardrobe, juxtapose a camo-printed jean against our favorite striped tops, and so on. Click on for five outfits you'll want to wear right now. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Give your off-duty look a cool utilitarian twist, two ways. First, top off laid-back textures with a long, slick military coat. Then, add a structured lace-up bootie — we're loving the oxford slant here — for an on-trend finish. Get the Look: Topshop Knitted Tweed Cable Jumper ($90) Mango Boyfriend Style Jeans ($70) Zara Woolen Military Coat ($169) Brixton Heist Beanie ($18) Burberry Lace-Up Pointed Toe Oxford Booties ($795) 1 / 5 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We love that this LBD is a no-fail Fall option, but to keep things interesting, its button-front details provide a more militaristic vibe. To maintain that slightly punched-up feel, accessorize with a crisp plaid print, a lug sole, and a fur collar. Get the Look: Aubin & Wills Hallthwaite Twill Dress ($165) Burberry Long Cotton Gabardine Shearling Collar Trench Coat ($1,795) J.Crew Tights ($25) Christian Louboutin Mini Sweet Charity Plaid Bag ($795) ASOS Chelsea Leather Ankle Boots ($132) 2 / 5 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Even the most basic military-inspired pieces deserve a dose of printed intrigue. We think Alexander Wang's leopard-printed bag is the perfect offset to a mix-and-match military top, coated jeans, and cool-girl wedges. Get the Look: Topshop Mix and Match Military Shirt ($90) Current/Elliott The Jean Legging Coated Low-Rise Jeans ($220) Jules Smith Designs Americana Classic Large Hoops ($80) Marc by Marc Jacobs Espresso Leather Lace-Up Wedge Booties ($320) Alexander Wang Marion Haircalf Bag ($745) 3 / 5 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Try a preppier take on this season's beloved camouflage print. A striped turtleneck and a classic red shoulder bag add a more timeless effect. Get the Look: J.Crew Tissue Turtleneck Tee ($45) Gap Super Skinny Twill Pants ($60) Coach Legacy Leather Canteen Bag ($158) Tom Binns Hard Wear Small Bullet Studs ($99) Aldo Romelia Pumps ($90) 4 / 5 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Juxtapose a slouchy, army-style park with polished pieces underneath. If you're really looking to have fun with it, play with proportions, too. We opted for a slim-fit pencil skirt with a looser textured sweater on top — with ankle boots for the finish.

San Francisco Giants third-base coach Tim Flannery, who is also a musician, is playing a series of concerts starting today to benefit Bryan Stow, the Giants fan who was severely injured in an attack outside Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in 2011.
The first concert is taking place at 8 p.m. today at Fox Theatre in Redwood City, with tickets starting at $50.
Flannery and his band the Lunatic Fringe will also play three more shows, on Friday at the Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley; on Saturday at Napa's Uptown Theatre; and on Sunday at Kuumbwa Jazz in Santa Cruz, Stow's hometown.
Stow, a paramedic and father of two, suffered a serious head
injury in the March 31, 2011, attack outside Dodger Stadium. Two men, Louie
Sanchez and Marvin Norwood, were arrested months later and are awaiting
Flannery, who has been a coach during both of the Giants' recent World Series wins in 2010 and 2012, has raised about $70,000 to help with Stow's medical bills and held a large benefit concert last year in Napa with Bob Weir from the Grateful Dead, according to team officials.
Stow's family, who has posted regular updates on his progress on the website www.support4bryanstow.com, wrote a post earlier this month mentioning Flannery's efforts and others who have helped to raise money for Stow.
"We are still so humbled by the fact that, even though it's almost been two years, people have not forgotten and still want to support Bryan and his family," the post read.
More information about Flannery's shows and how to purchase tickets available on his website at www.timflannery.com.

A spectacular, rugged landscape with an Olympic legacy.
OpenRegistro ▻
Building on the legacy of the 2010 Winter Olympics, IRONMAN Canada in Whistler offers athletes a majestic course in a world-class destination. The race was moved to its current location on August 25, 2013, and was the 31st running of the namesake race.
The race will start with a two-loop, 2.4-mile swim in the clean, shallow waters of Alta Lake at Rainbow Park, which has an average water temperature of 67 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit in late August. Athletes will enjoy a lakeside transition before starting a one-loop, 112-mile bike course with comparable difficulty to the routes at IRONMAN Lake Placid and IRONMAN Coeur d'Alene.
Athletes will travel south on the Sea-to-Sky Highway before climbing into the Callaghan Valley, site of the Nordic skiing events during the 2010 Winter Olympics. After descending back to the highway, they pass through Whistler on their way north to Pemberton. An flat out-and-back section will open to breathtakingly beautiful views of glaciated peak before returning to Whistler via the Sea-to-Sky Highway over rolling terrain.
The two-loop run course follows the meandering Valley Trail past Lost Lake and Green Lake, allowing spectators to reinvigorate competitors during a return through Whistler Village at the halfway point. Athletes will finish their day in the Whistler Olympic Plaza.
IRONMAN Canada offers 50 qualifying slots for the IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, HI.

Workshop Guides Elementary Schools on Walking and Biking Programs
A pair of Maitland mothers who helped launch a walk-bike to school program for Dommerich Elementary School are now helping a handful of other schools launch similar programs. Walking to school is a healthy idea, but proponents say you have to make it safe.
[School officials and parents learn about how to make walking and biking to school safe for kids]
A generation ago, most kids either walked or biked to school. Today, kids who walk or bike to school are in the minority. Childhood obesity is also on the rise compare to a generation ago, and health experts are hoping to combat that by encouraging kids to start walking or biking to school.
So Healthy Central Florida, Florida Hospital and the Winter Park Health Foundation sponsored a workshop for parents and schools to encourage walking and biking. Michelle Sartor is one of the moms who launched Dommerich's program, she's now Health Central Florida's Walking Coordinator.
"Before we started, on International Walk to School day, which is the biggest day of the year for participation, we had about 100 bike-ped students, and now we have between 350-and 400, that's at Dommerich. Other schools have seen the same thing, if you encourage and promote and reward the students, they want to participate," she says.
The workshop outlined different things that need to be addressed to increase walking and biking to school. Among them, audits of sidewalks and cross walks, which might need city intervention to improve their safety. The workshop also talked about different ways to teach pedestrian safety.
