Howard The Duck
Rather than recapitulating the entire bizarre and outlandish plot of Howard The Duck, we'll just give you a wee plot breakdown instead. Down on his luck, Howard is an anthropomorphic duck who is mysteriously beamed from his alternate-universe hometown of Marshington D.C. to Cleveland, Ohio. Upon his arrival, Howard meets (and shacks up) with a fashion-forward animal-lover named Beverly (played by Lea Thompson, of Some Kind of Wonderful and Caroline in the City fame). Though Howard is dapper in tweeds and suspenders, as lead singer of the synth-rock group Cherry Bomb (think Pat Benatar-meets-Billy Idol), Beverly's attire can't be beat. Her outfits feature patterned tights, tribal punk, lingerie as outerwear, grommeted denim jackets, buckled heels, and the sort of sculptural hairdos and smoky eye makeup that would make François Nars proud. Needless to say this film is a visual and sartorial feast (especially for those with an appetite for in-your-face eighties fashion) so we are quite pleased to serve up some killer pieces inspired by Howard the Duck.
Topshop Longline Floral Lace Bra ($40)
This floral bustier is the epitome of fall's bold and risqué nod to eighties inspired fashions. Although the lace bra isn't the most practical or appropriate piece for every public outing, layer it under a button-down shirt tied at the waist or wear it with a slouchy boyfriend blazer to update the look for the 21st century!
Zero + Maria Cornejo Drop Pants ($398)
Leave it to conceptual clothing designer Maria Cornejo to update the drop-crotch trouser in an of-the-moment Prince of Wales print. We love how the classic tweed calls to mind Howard's preppy pantsuit, but the sophisticated pleats and tapered shape makes these pants the perfect slack selection for the modern fashion-forward femme.
Mango Triple Buckle Heeled Ankle Boots ($103)
Mango, the Spanish purveyor of fast-fashion, has really outdone themselves with these Triple Buckle Boots. Though the silver-tipped clasps call to mind those ubiquitous Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Multi Buckle Suede Wedge Booties ($625), we think these heeled booties are a very smart, versatile, and Beverly-approved shoe selection that will be perfect well into winter.
Dannijo Shiloh Necklace ($656)
We first predicted that chunky chokers would dominate the décolletage of accessory lovers ages ago. If you haven't picked one up yet, we recommend that you consider Dannijo's Shiloh style. The tangled strands of crystal stones and metal chains feel deliciously over-the-top and dramatic-much like Beverly and her Cherry Bomb bandmates on-screen ensembles. Not only will it enliven your best t-shirt, jacket, and jeans combo, it's also a great accent for a cocktail frock.
Kenneth Jay Lane Deco Drop Earrings ($222)
While deco jewelry emerged during the twenties, the bold colors and geometric shape of these Kenneth Jay Lane earrings look spot-on for the decade of excess in which Howard the Duck is set. Though we can imagine other awesomely attired eighties fashion plates like Jami Gertz's Less Than Zero character, Blair, wearing a similar style, HTD's Beverly would totally rock these drop earrings underneath her crimped mane. For a more modern take, try these sculptural earrings with your favorite one-shouldered cocktail dress for a very au courant effect.
AM Eyewear Clear Strip Bon Bon Wayfarer Sunglasses ($179)
These sculptural square shades scream Max Headroom! We can totally envision Beverly, who is always dressed to the nines, slipping on these specs for a retro and radical final touch. Whether you wear them with your favorite boxy blazer or a crushed velvet mini, these sunnies get our seal of approval!
Maje Kaza Lurex Jacket ($525)
Though today's titular character-yes, Howard himself-usually sticks to classic tweed separates and colorful patterned ties, we couldn't resist including this boxy blazer with a hint of sheen. We can completely envision Beverly borrowing this glitzy jacket from her webbed-footed friend to check out prospective venues. Make sure to pair this shiny piece with your favorite Balmain-inspired outfit, and you'll have a killer eighties-influenced look that is updated for modern times!
Topshop Tassle Bead Matador Shrug ($100)
Although traditional matador garb may call to mind Ernest Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon or Madonna's "Take A Bow" music video, this beaded strong-shouldered bolero is better suited for crowd-surfing than bullfighting. Beverly wore an identical style during a performance with Cherry Bomb-follow her lead by fastening on this dramatic cover-up over your favorite body-con mini dress for your next karaoke session!

Wall Street and the Secret History of Clintonomics
Buffett cozies up to Hillary Clinton, as Wall Street remembers the good times of the '90s.
Superstar investor Warren Buffett held a fundraiser last night for Hillary Clinton in Manhattan, an event that's been interpreted by some as Wall Street's endorsement of the Democratic frontrunner. (Side note: Buffett, who called at the event for higher taxes on corporations and wealthier Americans, pointed out that he had paid a lower tax rate in 2006 than one of his office secretaries and explained how wrong that was. So why doesn't he just cut a check to Uncle Sam to make up the difference? Just wondering.) Let's assume for a second that the Big Money crowd does love Hillary. Why might that be, given that Wall Street is often assumed to be a Republican stronghold? Three reasons:
1) When it comes to politics, Wall Street is a momentum investor, and right now Hillary has Big Mo on her side as the favorite to win the Democratic nomination and the presidency.
2) Wall Street has never really felt "the love" from the Bush administration. The president's first two Treasury secretaries were an aluminum exec (Paul O'Neill) and a railroad exec (John Snow). Investment pros were probably expecting a coal exec or a rubber company man for No. 3 and may have been pleasantly surprised to get Hank Paulson of Goldman Sachs. But it was too little, too late. Plus, it's hard to think "Clinton" and "economy" without thinking of Robert Rubin, the former Goldman Sachs exec who is considered the architect of Bill Clinton's economic policies. If Hillary wins, look for her guy at Treasury to be from Wall Street.
3) Wall Street prospered under Bill Clinton and may well be hoping for another round of Clintonomics. But it's hard to say that Hillary will merely be Bill: The Sequel when it comes to economic policy. Remember, there were maybe three different versions of Clintonomics. Release 1.0 was the "Putting People First" agenda of the 1992 campaign—inspired by economist Robert Reich—that called for cutting the budget deficit in half and making massive new investment in "human capital." (It also called for a supercool bullet train across America.) This version never even made it to Inauguration Day.
Release 2.0 called for massive government intervention in the healthcare system and higher income taxes to lower the federal deficit in hopes of driving down interest rates. The healthcare plan, as is well known, imploded. But Rubin and Bill's "bond market strategy" seemed to work. Taxes went up, the deficit and interest rates went down, and the economy prospered.
Except the timing and sequence of events are all wrong. While long-term rates fell from 7.4 percent at the start of 1993 to 5.78 percent in October 1993—Bill signed his tax hike law back in August—they then headed back up, moving steadily higher until Nov. 7, 1994,when they peaked at 8.16 percent. That was almost a full point higher than before the "bond market strategy" was implemented.
But rates fell the next day, the day of the midterm election, when Republicans surprisingly took the U.S. House and Senate. That's when rates really began the long descent that Bill Clinton and Rubin had predicted. One explanation: The 1993 drop in rates happened because investors were expecting a recession. The 1994 drop was more indicative of market expectations that the new GOP Congress would get tough on spending, meaning not only lower budget deficits but a lower chance of spending-induced inflation.
Release 3.0 was the version that compromised with Republicans, cutting capital-gains taxes and creating the Roth IRA. As far as stocks go, the Dow Jones industrial average did not really begin to surge until December 2004—again, after the GOP took Congress. The Dow drifted higher, from roughly 3300 in January 2003 to 3800 in November 2004, a period when Bill Clinton had a Democratic Congress. Over the next two years—when Clinton had a GOP Congress—the Dow vaulted from 3800 to 6200. Maybe Wall Street has forgotten how well mixed government worked.
Oh, and it seems likely that if Hillary Clinton wins, she will have a Democratic Congress. Which version of Clintonomics will it prefer?

Matthew Herper, Forbes Staff
I cover science and medicine, and believe this is biology's century.
I was settling in with my new copy of The New Yorker, and read James Surowiecki's Financial Page, on how the Japanese clothing chain Uniqlo (where the one and only Andy Greenberg gets his skinny ties) has managed to become so successful. The counter-intuitive answer? Uniqlo hires lots of salespeople to make sure that when people enter the store, they find things and buy things. Counter-intuitively, cutting your workforce to raise margins can actually result in a death spiral where you don't sell anything. Who would have thought.
A recent Harvard Business Review study by Zeynep Ton, an M.I.T. professor, looked at four low-price retailers: Costco, Trader Joe's, the convenience-store chain QuikTrip, and a Spanish supermarket chain called Mercadona. These companies have much higher labor costs than their competitors. They pay their employees more; they have more full-time workers and more salespeople on the floor; and they invest more in training them. (At QuikTrip, even part-time employees get forty hours of training.) Not surprisingly, these stores are better places to work. What's more surprising is that they are more profitable than most of their competitors and have more sales per employee and per square foot.
The big challenge for any retailer is to make sure that the people coming into the store actually buy stuff, and research suggests that not scrimping on payroll is crucial. In a study published at the Wharton School, Marshall Fisher, Jayanth Krishnan, and Serguei Netessine looked at detailed sales data from a retailer with more than five hundred stores, and found that every dollar in additional payroll led to somewhere between four and twenty-eight dollars in new sales. Stores that were understaffed to begin with benefitted more, stores that were close to fully staffed benefitted less, but, in all cases, spending more on workers led to higher sales.
I write a lot about an industry (pharmaceuticals) where there have been huge and crashing drug cuts. From 2000 through the beginning of 2011, the drug industry cut almost 300,000 jobs. That is as many people as are employed at Merck, Pfizer, and GlaxoSmithKline, and as many people as the entire drug business employs in the U.S. Part of the reason is that companies are facing dramatically rising research costs and declining peak sales of new drugs. Price increases can only go so far in counteracting these forces. That's why there's lots of talk about moving to smaller, more outsourced companies.
But the Uniqlo article got me thinking that perhaps part of the problem is a lack of appreciation for the human capital that goes into inventing drugs — or, to avoid management speak, all those scientists. Two big problems in the drug business are that most costs occur at the end of developing a new medicine, in the form of new clinical trials, but that the prospect of these huge costs also crimps on what comes from basic research.
An ideal drug company would follow all sorts of crazy ideas in early research, with the goal of selecting those where there was a high probability of believing they would actually prove effective in clinical development. It would bulk up on scientists, and try to limit the number of large clinical trials it conducted to those where some kind of test — blood levels of some protein, perhaps — led researchers to think they had a high probability of success. (Novartis, the most successful company in terms of getting new drugs to market, has moved in this direction.) But the tendency of the shutdowns has been to shut laboratories, too. Look at Merck's stance toward the old Organon labs or Pfizer's decision to shut the Michigan labs where Lipitor was invented. Taking the ax to the scientists is probably a mistake.
Wow, I couldn't have stated this better myself! This is a terrific endorsement of the importance of early research in the drug discovery-development process. If you don't plant seeds, corn won't grow. Hopefully, some companies will notice this piece.
Perhaps I'm taking you too literally, but the key difference, as I have had it explained to me with great forbearance over the years, is that marketing and sales are profit centers, whereas R&D is sunk cost, a pure liability. That's why, as discussed in your post last year (http://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewherper/2011/04/13/a-decade-in-drug-industry-layoffs/) the cuts over that time period disproportionately affected research. What seems to make a lot of people shake their heads is that it is sound, conventional strategic planning to cut research because of this negative valuation, even though we throw out some adorable babies with the bathwater. We need a better way to value research, but I'm skeptical that treating research like sales is the way to go.
As much sense as it might make to view D as the sunk cost and R as something else (a really, really, really long-term investment???), that's not the result that the analytical tools (NPV, IRR, balanced scorecards, etc.) spit out. Longer time-to-market and vastly higher probability of failure always give R a far worse (generally negative) NPV, for example, than D. Maybe things have changed, but in my experience that's the hurdle supporters of research in industry inevitably stumble on, and when profits decline, that analysis works even harder against R. It may not be flashy, but it seems to me that until we find business analysis tools that better reflect what we seem to intuit about drug research, i.e. research is more valuable than we credit it, we can not exit this trap.
I share the same sentiment that others commenting have. However, one significant change has to be considered when talking about the drop in R&D staffing over the past decade. That is, the industry has shifted a huge emphasis towards biotech – which draws on very different skills and capabilities (e.g., managing "fermentation" processes on the bench and in pilot stages…) than traditional small molecule activities. I think part of the decade's layoffs were actually shifts towards re-staffing with skills in this direction.
A revelation to me was the analysis last fall by Tollman, et al in Nature Reviews/Drug Discovery (v.10) where they assess the VALUE R&D is creating for a cohort of ten firms. Five of ten are traditional "Large Pharma, founded on small synthetic molecule capabilities" They all reflect a drain on enterprise value by up to 20-25%! Four of the other five are traditional biotech, whose pipelines add 5 to 25%.
What is really interesting is that Bristol-Myers is the one firm that had roots in the old school, but whose R&D seems to be adding (according to this analysis) 20% positively to the enterprise value. Interesting because they underwent a huge scale-back in staff in the past decade, but this masked a stated intent and painful move to re-skill their R&D towards biotech. Many large Pharma's have given lip service to that direction, but I think BMS was the one that really "walked the talk". Maybe with good results.
You can hold your breath until you turn blue and R&D will still be a sunk cost. Big Pharma companies are already very selective on what projects to develop and how clinical trials are conducted. Do you think they spend $250MM on a clinical trial capriciously?
Since the Regulatory bar keeps rising and creating more sunk cost in the "D" the answer might be to further extend the market exclusivity allowing those sunken costs to be recaptured….i.e. extend the Regulatory exclusivity runway to reward those companies for the additional clinical development being required. In the EU, Regulatory exclusivity can be 10 years for a new chemical entity where in the US it is a max of 5 years. Many times in the US the composition of matter intellectual property expires prior to reaching peak sales creating the negative NPV as generics are launched. It is even worse for new drug indications for generics or new fixed dose combinations as these are only accorded 3 years of Regulatory exclusivity. Use patents and formulation patents are not regarded by Big Pharma as significant barriers to other competitors entering the market with the same product.
Since the FDA is creating the problem by creating longer development times, they should provide the solution by extending the exclusivity. At the very least, they should put the US on par with the EU in terms of Regulatory exclusivity.
Hang on a second here, lets back up the train. "Big Pharma" is notorious for never "discovering" ANYTHING! If fact, anyone that's actually worked in a big pharma research lab knows full well it's mainly there just for show. The "discoveries" mainly came from small nimble startups, big companies "develop" and "market". The real problem is that startups haven't come up with much lately either, despite BILLIONS in venture capital being pumped into them. Don't kid yourself, if the system worked, the VC's would put their money into it in droves. These guys aren't stupid, they see it's not worth it any more. Add to all of this the fact that the FDA is very wary these days, and for good reason. AND, the fact that health care systems around the world are broke, and the truth is that existing generics are good enough for 95% of the population. Please, let's not fool the public into thinking that some travesty is occurring and that human health is going to be set back 100 years cause some pharmaceutical companies have let everyone go.
Signed, a chemist good enough to go find something else to do…..
Tykerb started from zero at GSK as well. Though I have to agree with Dave that very few new game changing therapies are making it into the marketplace (only the new CF and lung cancer drugs come to mind in the last 5 years, and even those are mutation-specific) despite all sorts of small-molecule and mAb startups being created. I think that this is because the targeted approach has picked off all the low-hanging fruit, personalized medicine has not been pushed outside of oncology, and pharma/biotech/VCs do not understand how to push into the next frontier of medicine, eg regenerative/stem cell/cellular therapy.

The Kata Golda Story
Kata Golda loves to play with wool felt and thread, leaving a trail of color behind her wherever she goes. Each day begins with a walk in the woods or digging in the garden, and by midmorning her mind is full of ideas and she's ready to spend the day creating.
Never is she found without a project or sketchbook in hand — and when armed with her basket of sewing, she can set up shop anywhere her adventures take her. Perhaps she'll make a cozy nest indoors, where her ears will be filled with the musical talent of loved ones whiles she works. But if the weather is nice you'll find her outdoors in a patch of sun, covered in little bits of thread, happily stitching away.
Made By Hand With Care
In 1999, inspired by the color and texture of hand-dyed wool felt, I started making toys for my baby girl. As she grew and began to draw I made her first sketch book, decorated with a hand-stitched felt teddy bear and adorned with her name. It became the forerunner of the Kata Golda collection.
I continue to be inspired by the colors and textures of the world around me. Nestled snugly amongst the comings and goings of friends and family in a small, mossy seaside town, Kata Golda has grown into a flourishing business with the help of many skilled artisans living on the West Coast of the United States. Kata Golda strives to pay living wages and preserve handicrafts such as needlework, letterpress printing, hand-thrown pottery, hand-dyed textiles, felting and bookbinding. Special thanks goes to all of the people that help make Kata Golda possible: Sorcha Ashling, Lori Bernstein, Kate Dean, Alison Kaplan, Tracy Harding, Odette Jennings, Deb Oldham, Amy E. Redmond, Kerry Shamblin, Frank White.
By using up every little scrap of material and reusing supplies as much as possible, Kata Golda strives to produce zero waste and have the lowest impact on the environment possible. A transition to use polyester fiberfill made from 100% post-consumer recycled material began in 2012.
Thank you for your support and interest in our work.

Now we have a dilema - we have four dogs in boarding at the vet's office and need to be out before Christmas - they need the space for reserved boarders.
What we have are 3 -40 lb dogs, one of these dogs is actually supposed got to Dayton, OH and one 120 Great Pyreness. We are seeing if we can find a foster for the Great Pyreness in GA, but we really need to get these dogs moved to Northwest Ohio - Toledo area - rescue has agreed to come pick up the dogs if we can get the dogs up there.

Orange-a combo of Red & Yellow-is one of my favorite colors, and that's saying a lot for a color lover like me. I love orange because it is the color of joy and enthusiasm. It is vibrant and extroverted in feel. From nature, to the runways, and always in our homes, orange is just plain fun.
There is also something about the saturated, bold color of orange that screams warm weather to me. Perhaps because it's such a hot hue itself. A close relative of red, it often sparks more controversy than any other hue. There is usually strong positive or negative, love or hate, association with orange.
Sometimes used as just as an accessory to pop the colors in a room…
And sometimes as the main color in a room…
A shade of the touted color of the year, honeysuckle, I particularly love orange together with it's complimentary color blue. From navy to turquoise and all shades in between, it is the perfect mix. When used in combination in home decor, it makes each color look brighter and more intense.
Lately I've been seeing orange with its split complimentary colors, either purple or green and am finding that fresh and interesting.
And, believe it or not, mixed with grey or black without looking like it's Halloween!
From an aromatherapy point of view, Orange Peel has a very strong scent, and is very refreshing, and cooling. It is a great scent for Spring-Fall, and into winter when mixed with cloves. It's aromatherapy benefits are that it is cheering, refreshing, uplifting, cleansing.
Orange is also the color of the Sacral Chakra and when healthy, allows a person to "go with the flow" of life. People who resonate with orange are able to express themselves through art, music or other creative outlet, using their unique abilities in a positive and constructive way to thrive in life.

Chipotle Mexican Grill prides itself on the fact that it serves only "responsibly raised beef, pork and chicken." That means the meat it buys comes from animals raised outside or in comfy pens, who are never given antibiotics and are fed an additive-free, vegetarian diet.
A new study out today from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities finds that more than two-thirds of states are spending less per child on schools than they were five years ago.
The report analyzed inflation-adjusted figures from Fiscal Year 2008 to 2014, and finds Oklahoma is spending nearly 23 percent less per child on schools than five years ago.
Traditionally, Oklahoma's governor has relied on advice from separate officials representing energy and the environment.
But in July, Gov. Mary Fallin moved to combine the two offices into one. "Strong energy policy is strong environmental policy," Fallin said in a statement accompanying an executive order creating the new Secretary of Energy and Environment cabinet secretary post.

Shauniqua Epps was the sort of student that so many colleges say they want.
She was a high achiever, graduating from high school with a 3.8 GPA and ranking among the top students in her class. She served as secretary, then president, of the student government. She played varsity basketball and softball. Her high-school guidance counselor, in a letter of recommendation, wrote that Epps was "an unusual young lady" with "both drive and determination."
Epps, 19, was also needy.
The city of Tulsa is refusing to release 911 recordings under the state's open records law.
The Tulsa World reports that the city denied its request last week for any emergency calls regarding a Sept. 1 police-involved fatal shooting at the Best Budget Inn. The newspaper says its request was denied even though it'd previously received 911 calls through open records requests.
Assistant City Attorney Shelton Benedict says the open records law doesn't specifically say that audio must be provided — just the radio logs.
This week's OneSix8 brings performances of three different kinds: some State Fair entertainment, a classic Shakespearean work, and a 1939 comedic play.

As Secretary of State John Kerry was preparing to sit down with his Russian counterpart Thursday to discuss whether the Assad regime's chemical weapons can be handed over to international monitors, the commander of the rebel Free Syrian Army was telling NPR that "the Russian initiative is just a lie."
The Enid Public Library plans to display a mural depicting various images from the northern Oklahoma city's history.
The mural will go on display Friday. It was sketched by Duron Lewis, an Enid resident and local artist.
The mural will contain 30 images from the time of the land rush until the mid-1900's. Images will include the first Enid jail, Lincoln School, Chief Lone Wolf, Enid street trolley, renegade sooners, actor Johnny Crawford who played "Mark McCain" on The Rifleman television show, and many more.

Frederick E. Allen, Forbes Staff
I am the Leadership Editor of Forbes.
In his press conference after the mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, last December, Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association blamed mass murders on everyone from legislators who pass gun control laws to the makers of videogames–everyone except gun manufacturers and sellers, as I wrote at the time.
He was especially hard on Hollywood. "Isn't fantasizing about killing people as a way to get your kicks really the filthiest form of pornography?," he said. "In a race to the bottom, media conglomerates compete with one another to shock, violate and offend every standard of civilized society."
The NRA is singing a very different tune today. Its publication American Rifleman just came out with its list of the 10 "coolest gun movies" ever. They include The Terminator, admired for how "Arnold Schwarzenegger played an advanced killing machine that is almost completely unstoppable," and The Godfather, which "affected millions in many different ways with its cinematography, plot and underlying themes, such as how with determination anyone can become powerful, even if that power is of the criminal nature."
Zombieland makes the list because it not only "has introduced a new group of people to preparedness and firearms" but "has also provided some awesome targets and produced a new type of training that is fun and useful in a world-gone-crazy situation. Besides, the final fight scene is just awesome." The Matrix is cited for
a controversial scene that portrayed a shootout in an almost dancelike way, paired with the high-pace song Spybreak by the Propellerheads. This followed a scene containing a line that could easily be the catchphrase of many gun owners when asked what they need: "Guns. Lots of guns."
The full list of all-time cool gun movies is:
1. Red Dawn
2. The Terminator
3. The Alamo
4. Die Hard
5. The Godfather
6. Zombieland
7. The Matrix
8. The Delta Force
9. The Road Warrior
10. Tremors
So now the NRA is praising, among other things, a movie hero who's an "almost unstoppable" "killing machine," a career in criminality, and making a shootout a dance with great music. Talking Points Memo's Hunter Walker writes that "TPM called the NRA to ask how celebrating gun movies fit with the group's past comments criticizing Hollywood. No one from the organization responded."
See the NRA's full slideshow of the coolest-ever gun movies here.
Only a child would blame "gun manufacturers and sellers" for a crime that obviously was committed by a severely mentally ill madman. So, Wayne La Pierre's comments were spot on.
As far as the NRA's "Coolest Gun Movies," yeah, I can buy your claim of hypocrisy. Probably not the smartest article to write at this (still) sensitive time.
I nearly lost an eye to a home made bow & arrow in third grade. Years later it became obvious that the other kid had "issues…"
It wasn't the cowboy movies of the day at fault.
Shockingly enough, if the NRA was trying to make nice with Hollywood with a list of this nature, they could have done it without becoming hypocrites. How?
Top 10 list of movies that showcase why gun ownership is necessary/good/helpful.
I mean, hell, they have "Red Dawn", "The Alamo", and "Tremors" up there already.
Agreed. This list should have been more focused on movies that show examples of the necessity of gun ownership. Or, you know, not made at all. The NRA has amazing grassroots support, but its leadership makes some silly mistakes. For example, a recent edition of American Hunter had an article about "protecting our guns". My guns are tools that I have a right to own/use, they aren't precious keepsakes (well some are, but those aren't the ones we're talking about).
But this is hardly newsworthy, and this Forbes article says more about the author than the NRA. Mr. Allen, you are entering James Taylor/Rick Unger/Larry Bell territory with your incredibly biased, one-sided writing.

Max Parrot Wins Two Golds at Winter X; Oakley Snowboarders Win 9 Medals
If what went down at Winter X Games over the past four days is any indication of what will happen in Sochi in two weeks, the biggest event in sports is in for quite the show. In what has come to be a sort of annual tradition, the tricks got bigger and gnarlier and new names were added to the action sports conversation.
After announcing himself on the X Games stage last year with a silver medal in Slopestyle, Canadian Max Parrot put together a dominant 24-hour stretch in Aspen. Competing for the first year in Big Air, Parrot won with a backside triple cork 1620 and Cab triple underflip to late 180. The next afternoon, Parrot put down a run in Slopestyle that included two triple corks to win his second gold medal of the weekend, narrowly defeating the two-time reigning gold medalist and favorite in the event, Mark McMorris.
"This year I finally got to a level of consistency in my riding and now I'm just pushing it. All the tricks I do I've done a million times, so the pressure of doing them is going down," said Parrot, who'll be representing Canada in Sochi. "I've been working and training a lot and I'm just so happy that it's all working out."
McMorris had a chance to top Parrot with his third and final run, but crashed in the rail section, fracturing his rib. Stale Sandbech won bronze in Slopestyle to match the medal he'd won the previous evening in Big Air. Yuki Kadono won the silver in Big Air, giving Oakley back-to-back podium sweeps.
In women's Slopestyle, Silje Norendal came into the event with a relativley simple goal: land a run. For one reason or another, Norendal had never succeeded a completing a full run at X Games in Aspen. She achieved that goal on her first run and the stepped up the difficulty in her third run, with a boardslide to 270 out on one rail, and a frontside 720, a backside rodeo 540, a Cab 720 and a switch backside 540 in the jumps for a score of 96.0.
"I just wanted to land a run that I was happy with and that was my first run. I didn't know if I could step it up. It's such a heavy, challenging course, and to be honest, I didn't think anyone could beat Jamie [Anderson] on this course," said Silje Norendal, who landed her first-ever runs at X Games Aspen. "I don't know what happened my last run, I just got it together. I was just so excited when I landed my switch back 5 on my last jump."
Anderson was able to earn the silver medal, narrowly missing out on an X Games Aspen three-peat.
While Chloe Kim laid down runs in Superpipe that let everyone know that she's on the verge of becoming one of the next big names in women's snowboarding, an icon of the sport bid farewell to the X Games crowd. Gretchen Bleiler announced that this was her last X Games and went out with style, executing her run to perfection and waving to the audience with a big smile on her face and tears in the corners of her eyes. Bleiler finished sixth, while Kim won the silver medal.
"It's been an emotional couple of weeks. The Olympic qualifiers were so intense and it's been tough knowing that I'm not where I've been in the past. But it's been a good lesson in being humble and doing the best you can for right now," Bleiler said. "It's also been emotional knowing that this is my last contest. I'm going to miss it tremendously."
Shaun White opted to sit out X Games in order to continue training for the Olympics, while Japanese wunderkind Ayumu Hirano pulled out due to an injury. Both are expected to battle for the gold in Sochi.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Lewiston Police Chief Chris Salada wants Lewiston Cocktail Festival party-goers to have some fun Saturday. The inaugural event has already distributed more than 500 tickets with more expected to show up day-of.
But while the event is about having a good time and enjoying a tasty drink concoction, there's a concern the alcohol involved could find its way out into the street.
With Center Street not closed off for this festival, open container laws are in effect and drinks must remain on bar and restaurant property, he said.
"I'm going to have an extra traffic car parked on Center Street just to be safe," he said. "I think it's going to be a good event, As it grows, I guess I'll have to adjust, but we'll have patrols monitoring the street throughout the night making sure everyone's safe."
What could affect turnout to the first festival of the new year is the weather. Early forecasts predict the temperatures to dip below freezing for Saturday, with highs near 26 degrees. Low temps could fall into the teens.
But festival creator and organizer Jon DiBernardo of Water Street Landing said weather shouldn't play too much of a factor given it's Western New York and it is always looking for a good time.
"People get thirsty no matter what temperature it is," he said. "And we're here to help. The people in Western New York are going to do what we do best, and that's entertain ourselves."
The festival kicks off at 4 p.m. Saturday and features 13 participating restaurants and bars. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at many of these establishments through 4 p.m. today. After that, tickets will be available through 10 p.m. Saturday at The Brickyard Pub & BBQ, The Lewiston Stone House and Water Street Landing.
Parking will be available at each of the establishments, as well as on the street. The Village Bake Shoppe also has parking available for festival-goers.
Anyone who purchases a ticket will receive a commemorative feather and a passport book with information on all of the samplings the bars will be offering, as well as historical information about the cocktail and its Lewiston history.
That history has been important to DiBernardo since he flirted with the idea of the festival. Lewiston, in some circles, is believed to be the birthplace of the drink.Such claims stem from Hustler's Tavern, a drinking establishment owned by Catherine Hustler and her husband, Tom, on what is now Center Street before Lewiston was burned to the ground in 1813. It's said she hosted author James Fenimore Cooper, who wrote in his novel, "The Spy," that Betty Flannigan – a character he based on Hustler – plucked a tail feather from a rooster and used it to stir a drink.
There are stories of cocktail creation around the world, but Lewiston's claim is what's being celebrated Saturday. And with the help of nine members of the Marble Orchard Players, the history will come alive as actors travel from bar to bar to make their presence known.
For more on the festival, go online to www.lewistoncocktailfestival.com. The website has a full list of participating bars and restaurants. It is an all-ages event with non-alcoholic drinks also available.
Editor's Note: Reporter Timothy Chipp is a member of the Marble Orchard Players and portrays Cooper. He will participate in Saturday's festival along with the rest of the cast.

Nov. 8, 1997
Seminoles Win ACC Showdown, 20-3
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Thad Busby threw scoring passes to Melvin Pearsall and E.G. Green in the first half and the Florida State defense was dominant as the second-ranked Seminoles laid claim to the number one ranking with a 20-3 whipping of fifth-ranked North Carolina.
Florida State (9-0, 7-0 ACC) took control of the Atlantic Coast Conference race and spoiled the season for North Carolina quarterback Oscar Davenport, who suffered an apparent broken ankle in the third quarter.
"It wasn't easy. Our defense was challenged," said Florida State coach Bobby Bowden on his 68th birthday. "What I thought would happen, happened. They haven't had enough Wide Rights yet. You have to get kicked around enough in the big games to learn how to win them."
North Carolina (8-1, 5-1), which mustered only Josh McGee's 46-yard field goal with 13:34 remaining, again failed against the Seminoles. The Tar Heels have never beaten Florida State, going 0-8-1, and had their 10-game winning streak, which had been the longest in the country for a few hours, ended.
"If they play like that the rest of the way, they'll win the national championship," said North Carolina coach Mack Brown.
Busby was 14-of-30 for 159 yards with one interception. He was not sacked, and watched as the Florida State defense tied a school record with nine sacks, seven against Davenport and two against Chris Keldorf.
"We had to come in here and execute against a great defense," Busby said. "We had some mistakes, but tried to minimize them. I think we did that. We did what we had to do to get down the field and score. In the second half, we wanted to hold back a little and burn time off the clock. Overall, I think we did a great job as a team. Our defense played its best all season and we didn't let up."
The Tar Heels scored a season-high 48 points against Virginia, but have seen their point total fall in each of their last five games. North Carolina never has scored more than 18 points against the Seminoles, but this was its worst offensive performace.
The Tar Heels registered a paltry 73 yards of total offense on 48 plays. They had only nine yards in the first half and finished with minus-28 yards rushing for the game.
Florida State's 20 points matched the best total against North Carolina this season. The Seminoles had 334 yards of total offense, including 175 on the ground, 16 more than they had in the air. The defense was so good that Florida State's 11 penalties for 105 yards were not a factor. The Seminoles converted just 3-of-14 third downs, but limited North Carolina to one successful third-down conversion on 13 attempts.
Travis Minor, a true freshman, carried the ball 30 times for 128 yards, giving the Seminoles the balanced attack that helped them hold the ball nearly seven minutes more than UNC.
"Our defense continues to improve and our running game continues to improve and that is the key," Bowden said. "The defense played a 60-minute game. We had questions after what happened against Duke and NC State, but we played 60 minuutes of defensive football tonight. We were cautious in the second half offensively with the defense playing so well. Our thinking was just, `Let's don't give it away.' North Carolina has an excellent program and coaching staff. We had every psychological advantage. We've got another `big game' in two weeks."
It was the first time in ACC history that two teams ranked in the top five of any poll faced each other.
North Carolina had the ball on the Florida State 31-yard line on its first possession after a short punt. But Davenport was sacked by defensive end Greg Spires for a nine-yard loss and fumbled the ball away to Andre Wadsworth, who tried a lateral that was ruled an illegal forward pass and negated a potential FSU score.
"We control if we win or lose," said Wadsworth, who is one of four finalists for the Lombardi Award. "After the first half, we wanted to keep it pumped up. They (UNC) say that they're a second-half team. So we went back out treating it like it was 0-0. I think the pressure was more on them tonight. We are used to the big games. In fact, we have one in two weeks (against Florida). ... Their defense definitely wanted it, but our offense wanted it more."
"(Wadsworth) is the best player I've faced in the game," said North Carolina tackle Mike Baxter. "Coming into the game, we thought we were a better team, but as far as I'm concerned, they are number one. Their front four is excellent. They're very relentless, and we knew it going into the game, but they were the better team today."
Busby, who was intercepted on the ensuing possession, got things going 11 minutes into the game when he connected with Pearsall, the tight end, on an eight-yard scoring pass. Busby started the seven-play, 55-yard drive with a 17-yard pass to Peter Warrick and added a 15-yarder to Damian Harrell that got the ball to the UNC 12.
FSU doubled the lead with 4:27 left in the second quarter when Busby hit Green for a 14-yard score. The three-play, 28-yard drive was set up by Warrick's 13-yard punt return and keyed by Minor's 14-yard run.
North Carolina could not even get off a punt, stalling following the kickoff. Linebacker Brian Allen busted through the middle and blocked Brian Schmitz's punt, leaving the ball at the UNC 14. A 15-yard holding penalty on the Seminoles led to Sebastian Janikowski's 32-yard field goal with 32 seconds left before halftime, making it 17-0.
"The score doesn't tell how close the game was," said UNC cornerback Dre' Bly. "They just capitalized on the turnovers and took advantage of the opportunities and we didn't. That's a great football team. The guys played hard. It's not that we didn't fight hard or we weren't prepared, they just took a few turnovers and won the game."
North Carolina started the second half with a bang, as Davenport got the Tar Heels into Seminoles territory for the second time in the game with a 33-yard pass to L.C. Stevens. They got as far as the 40 before Davenport was dropped by Spires for a six-yard loss and then by Wadsworth for minus-seven yards.
The Seminoles marched 59 yards in nine plays, leading to Janikowski's 40-yard field goal with 6:28 left in the third quarter.
North Carolina had its deepest penetration into FSU territory on the next drive, getting as far as the 22 before Keldorf was sacked for a seven-yard loss and McGee kicked the 46-yarder.
"Talent-wise, I don't think there's a difference between us and them," Keldorf said. "I think we're just as good as the best teams in the country. Things just didn't go quite the way we
