One of my part-time reporters, Sarah Cooper, spent the last 10 days or so in England, and another part-timer, Cortney Maddock, is applying to study in a journalism program in Germany later this year. Finally, The Roommate left on Monday to study for a month in India. We're well on our way to becoming a global news force. Watch out, CNN!
When we newspaper nerds travel, one of our endearing quirks is that wherever we go we have to at least stop and peruse the local rag. More than likely we'll buy a copy of each of the various local publications, take it back to the room and look through it while our traveling companions roll their eyes and pretend not to know us. Of course, those newspapers will get stuffed into a suitcase and brought home for further inspection once the vacation is over.
Probably my favorite non-local newspaper is the Trinity Journal, a weekly paper from Trinity County in Northern California, where The Roommate and I vacationed together several times a year when we were married. Trinity is the least populous county in the state and is the only county in the Golden State with no traffic signals. I have neither the time nor the gumption to verify those last two facts, but that's what we heard and we're sticking by them. If you were ever to visit there, you'd know they're probably true.
A couple of years ago we got a mail subscription to the Trinity Journal, so a pipin' hot copy arrives in our box each week. I can't say I gobble up each and every word, but I scan through articles about county budget shortfalls, local school kids, etc. In many ways it bears a resemblance to the type of community news we feature here in the Tribune, so I pay special attention to the topics to see if I can borrow any ideas that we can localize. One item that I would love to publish and that is the highlight of each week's issue of the Trinity Journal is the sheriff's blotter. Some of the calls they get, well, a Hollywood screen writer couldn't script the redneck ridiculousness any better: "A woman called to report that someone was in her house with a chainsaw. Officers discover her husband was asleep and snoring in the next room." "Officers stop a man who appears to be intoxicated walking naked along the highway with his dog. The dog is also intoxicated." "Three teens who just graduated high school are reported yelling obscenities toward the school building. They are admonished." I think the sheriff's deputies there don't actually carry guns. They just pack their holsters with admonishments and walk around firing them at people. You'll find many law enforcement admonishments in the blotter each week.
Those are fictional examples, since I can't find a copy at the moment, but I do not exaggerate. These types of things happen in the rolling hills of small-town Northern California logging country.
Whether it's a newspaper from the next county or the next continent, there is a lot to be learned from it. It's interesting to read the little news, perhaps some city government wrongdoing or an interesting crime that wasn't big enough for the national press but is getting blow-by-blow coverage locally because everybody in the area knew the defendant. Such newspapers can also show out-of-towners that their problems are not unique, that folks the world over care about the economy and gas prices and crime. However seeing it in a foreign newspaper (read: any newspaper other than the one in my town) makes news about foreclosures or unemployment seem fresh and different, even though it's the same story told from another person's perspective.
From a professional standpoint, it's also interesting to see how different journalists do their jobs. In reading other American newspapers, it's usually a matter of just reading the different writing and reporting styles. When it comes to overseas papers, that's where you see the real differences. We get to see not only how people in other countries live and what they want to read, but in some cases we get to see how they view Americans.
Upon her return from England, Sarah brought a copy of The Times to share with the newsroom. I immediately dug into it, starting with the cover story about President Bush. The story was derived from an exclusive interview with British reporters in which Bush expressed some regret over the cowboy rhetoric and attitude he displayed during his tenure. The article jumped to the inside of the issue, where the headline read, "Hawk who took the world to war flies to Europe talking the language of a dove." It's a view of President Bush that would probably never be seen in American media. I'm not sure if the nature of the article was the result of a less friendly British press or an effort by the president's spin machine to show a softer side of Bush to a hostile European readership. But in either case it is an interesting contrast to what we read in the New York Times or see on our own TV news.
Beyond politics, though, this issue of The Times featured articles on battling breast cancer, how to save money at the gas pump (I heard this week that fuel prices there were at the U.S. equivalent of $7 per gallon), interrogation of terror suspects and, of course, a healthy dose of celebrity, sports and entertainment news. In many ways, it was not much different than a major metropolitan daily you'd see in this country. Granted, thinking of the history of this country it's not too surprising that our cultures and, hence, our newspapers would have parallel evolutions.
Then I looked at it from the point of view of a newspaper editor and I started to pick up on some fun differences. The first thing I noticed was that in some places The Times placed commas and periods outside quotation marks and in other places they punctuation was inside the quotes. I pointed it out to others in the newsroom and we were quite proud of the fact that we have found a mistake in this historic newspaper. If I'm reading the issue number in the masthead correctly, The Times had put out 69 issue, 347 copies as of Wednesday, so you'd think the editors could figure out how to use punctuation!
Alas, upon further inspection I realized there is a method to their British madness: It seems they put the punctuation outside the quotation marks after a partial quote and the punctuation goes inside when a quote is used in its entirety. I guess if I were to go over there to work, the editors there would have a good laugh at me for putting all my commas and periods inside the quotes. I'd blame the shoddy American school system.
A few final fun differences: Realize is spelled with an 's' not a 'z'; political coverage reads like an American history textbook, talking about the Tories and the Labour Party (that's translated to "labor" in English) and people like Lord Stevens of Kirkwhelpington; and often people are referred to as Mr This or Lady That. It's not a typo, folks, the abbreviation for "mister" in The Times does not have a period after it. I triple-checked. Oh, and after a while the narrator in my head started reading the paper in a British accent.
Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time for tea.

Nebraska State Patrol says it has begun a three-stage consolidation of its dispatch centers. The patrol said in a news release that taking the centers down to three from six is expected to save $750,000. The patrol says the Norfolk center will be the first to close. Its dispatch duties will be taken over completely by the Lincoln center in mid-May. The second phase will be implemented by summer 2015. A committee will be meeting to determine which center will close next.
A man who allegedly stole a pickup in Madison on Monday, is accused of shooting a sheriff's deputy in Minnesota Tuesday. The 19-year-old apparently stole a Dodge pickup, owned by Paul Nolan of Madison that was parked in front of Brady & Andy's. Sheriff's deputies found the pickup 400 miles away the next morning in Perley, Minnesota and pulled it over for a traffic stop. There were two occupants in the pickup, Steven Henderson and his brother 18-year-old William Henderson. Deputies arrested the younger Henderson for an outstanding warrant. As he was being taken into custody, Steven Henderson allegedly shot one of the deputies in the back. He was saved by his bullet-resistant vest. The deputy was taken to a Fargo, North Dakota hospital, treated and released.
The short session for Nebraska's 103rd Legislature wraps up today. District 19 Senator, Jim Scheer of Norfolk told WJAG NEWS it was three-and-a-half months of ebbs and flows. Some days, lawmakers got a lot done, but very little on other days. Scheer says there was an unusual amount of partisan bickering in the officially non-partisan legislature, particularly during the final month of the session. There will be at least 17 new members of the 104th Legislature as their predecessors are being forced out by term limits. Eight other lawmakers are seeking re-election.
The Norfolk Public Schools will be adding staff in the coming year. At this week's meeting of the Board of Education, Superintendent Dr. Jami Jo Thompson said the district would see a reduction of about $101,000 in state aid next year, but increases in other tax revenue and conservative spending this year will enable the district to add to the elementary staff, by changing the status of three half-time instructors in the Montessori Program to full time. The Board also agreed to create a new position – dean of students – at Norfolk Senior High. Thompson said having another administrator in that building to deal with attendance and discipline issues will free the principal and assistant principals to work on the strategic goals and other priorities.
Former Salvation Army Envoys Jim and Dee Tooley have spent the past week in Norfolk, reconnecting with a community that Jim Tooley says changed his life. The Tooleys were Corps Officers in Norfolk from 1992 to 1997. During that time, the Salvation Army started offering social programs and acquired the current building on North 7th Street. Tooley says the five years in Norfolk were the best years of his career. The Tooleys will leave Norfolk today and return to their home in Mississippi.

As arts seasons draw to a close in May and June, musicians and audiences look forward to summer festivals. Locally we'll enjoy the Cactus Pear Music Festival, and Mozart Festival Texas, this July and August, along with the new "Q" chamber music series.
In the first segment:
Last week the special session of the Texas legislature passed a bill that would institute mandatory minimums for 17 year olds convicted of capital murder.
The state of Texas has mandatory minimums for several crimes including murder, but has avoided some of the most controversial mandatory minimums with nonviolent drug offenses. States like Florida and Massachusettes have seen their prison populations swell with these nonviolent offenders.
A poll sponsored by a bipartisan group of non-profits and industry shows that a majority of Texans support a current immigration reform bill.
The poll was sponsored by the Alliance for Citizenship, Partnership for a New American Economy and Republicans for Immigration Reform.
The Youth Orchestras of San Antonio are receiving the ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming today in St. Louis at the League of American Orchestras Conference.

Troy Peters is the music director of YOSA and said new music is a vital element in their effort to give students and audiences exciting musical experiences. Next month YOSA leads their annual summer camp.
As the NBA Finals shift to Miami for game 6 and possibly game 7, the extended series means that money generated by the games will continue to boost the league, broadcast carriers and the host cities.
Based on numbers from the last two NBA Finals in host cities Dallas, Oklahoma City and Miami, the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce estimated an economic impact of about $4 million per game.
The Alamo City is rolling out the red carpet for independent film makers this week during the annual San Antonio Film Festival. For nearly 20 years, fans of indie films have attended the San Antonio Film Festival for both short- and feature-length movies.
"It's films that you'll never see -- for the most part -- on Netflix or the movie theater," said Executive Director Adam Rocha.
The eight officers on the all-male jury panel handed Tech. Sgt. Jaime Rodriguez, a recruiter from Lake Jackson, which is near Houston, 27 years in prison – the harshest sentence issued in the sex scandal so far – which was two years longer than what was recommended by prosecutors.
The former military recruiter was also given a dishonorable discharge after his conviction on 29 of 30 charges involving sex crimes against women who came through his office.
Seven years ago (2006), and with a 27 million budget, Kenneth Branagh made a film version of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's The Magic Flute (read the film synopsis here.) The Peter Moores Foundation, who do amazing work translating opera into English, commissioned Stephen Fry to make this adaptation, and it remains witty, sexy, funny, passionate, and silly as the original libretto!
The San Antonio Underground Film Festival began 19 years ago under Executive Director Adam Rocha. Though they have since dropped the "underground," Rocha, a teacher of cinema across San Antonio, brings his love of the big screen again starting today and running through the June 23.

text: First, let me say you are starting out right by replacing the galvanized supply pipe. There are a couple of choices for this pipe, but I would let the plumber decide what he prefers. It might be PVC or copper, but it would not be CPVC. Now for the bad news. You really should consider replacing all of the galvanized pipe. There's not exact life span for galvanized pipe, it does depend on the water quality, but 40 years is a ballpark. Inside the house, you can not use PVC for water supply (drains yes) CPVC would be legal, but it would need to be sized larger that the galvanized it is replacing as the inside is smaller. Copper would be a good choice, and many are using PEX. The question about price is like me asking you on line how much it would cost to fix my car, or paint my house. Not seeing the job and what all it would require makes this an impossible question to answer on line. Not only that, local labor prices vary widely from place to place. Having dug the supply line trench will save you some money, but that's only part of the job. It's always wise to get at least 3 estimates from local contractors who can see and measure the job site. Also, check around with friend and neighbors who may have used a local company and see what they can tell you about their work. Just be sure you deal with a licensed company and not a handyman that is a jack of all trades and works for cheap. Cheap is nice, but it usually comes at a price.

Carlo Verdone (born 17 November 1950) is an Italian actor, screenwriter and film director.
Early life
Carlo Verdone was born in Rome to Mario Verdone, an important Italian film critic, and during his youth he earned a degree in Modern Literature at Sapienza University of Rome and a degree in Film Direction at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia. During 1970s he started a television career highlighting his varied comic style.
Movie career
Verdone made his debut as director in 1980 with the movie Fun is beautiful, in which he played three different characters. He used the same formula of the first work in 1981, when he directed Bianco, rosso e Verdone, a funny movie about three men during the election day. The movie, produced by Sergio Leone, was a great success in Italy, thanks to his brilliant comic energy and to his odd characters.

Today, Senate Republicans again blocked the nomination of Caitlin Halligan for a seat on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. It was the second time Republicans have filibustered Ms. Halligan, who President Obama first nominated to the court more than two years ago. In light of her strong qualifications, there was no justification for this obstructionism.
The D.C. Circuit is second only to the United States Supreme Court in its importance to the environment, public health, and many other issues. This court often determines whether Americans across the country have clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment. The D.C. Circuit also is in the midst of an unprecedented vacancy crisis, with four of its 11 seats now sitting unfilled.
The following is a statement from Earthjustice Vice President for Policy and Legislation Marty Hayden:
"With today's vote, Senate Republicans betrayed a deeper commitment to partisanship and obstruction than justice and the rule of law.
"As the second-highest court in the land, the D.C. Circuit often provides the last word on whether Americans receive the full protection of our laws. Given the court's current vacancy crisis, it is essential for the Senate to confirm highly qualified nominees like Caitlin Halligan. In blocking Halligan's nomination, Senate Republicans have shown more interest in political gamesmanship than in the well-being of all Americans. In this instance, justice delayed is truly justice denied."

Location: Rohnerville
Humboldt County Sheriff Mike Downey and Humboldt County First District Supervisor Rex Bohn will be meeting at 3:30 p.m. today with the Tribal Council of the Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria at the Tribal Office located at the Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria. This meeting will be to finalize the agreement between the Rancheria and the Sheriff's Office to pay for a full time Deputy Sheriff position for two years. The press is invited to attend this meeting. Supervisor Bohn and Sheriff Downey will be on hand, along with Tribal members to answer any question.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Previous Sheriff Mike Downey is pleased to announce the addition of a Humboldt County Deputy Sheriff position, which is completely funded by the Bear River Band of the Rohnerville Rancheria. Recently Sheriff Downey and Humboldt County First District Supervisor Rex Bohn were approached by the Rancheria who offered to pay for a full time deputy sheriff to patrol the Eel River Valley from Scotia to Fields Landing. The Rancheria expressed a desire to provide additional law enforcement presence in the area to assist in the prevention and detection of crime, and to increase public safety in the Eel River Valley area. First District Supervisor Rex Bohn was instrumental in facilitating this agreement. This agreement will supplement the Sheriff's Office in providing public safety to the Eel River Valley area. The agreement will be in effect for calendar years 2013/2014 with a possible two year extension. The initial two year agreement equates to a financial commitment of $300,000.00. Sheriff Downey expressed his appreciation for the support the Bear River Band of Rohnerville Rancheria has displayed through their desire to help create a safe environment to the surrounding communities. The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office currently has two open deputy positions which it is recruiting for, and fifteen frozen deputy positions due to budgetary constraints. This additional position will enhance public safety during these lean economic times. Mike DowneySheriff

84 Pages, 73 images on Premium Paper.
There is so much more in any photographer's work, then choosing an image to include in a book or show, the image is representative of but that tiny moment in time when the shutter clicks, between these moments is the rest of the story. When asked for a subtitle for Desert Nudes I knew immediately what to write, "2 people and a camera", for most of the last two years this is how our images came about. Getting up in the middle of the night to go pick up a model and then drive sometimes 3 or 4 hours to a remote spot, to watch the sun rise and hopefully capture a bit of that magic in a photo or two. These were sometimes 2 day adventures out to places the roads were only roads in the sense a vehicle occasionally traveled them, these images represent what we found and how we felt out there.
From the very start I was sure a book would come from these adventures and this was solidified when I met Penelope Grace. On a warm Sunday afternoon we met at a Starbucks (doesn't everyone!) she paged slowly through my portfolio, and when she had reached the end she put her hands on mine and said "I need to be in this book." So we did a photo shoot a week later in an area near Joshua Tree under cloudy skies. She surprised me when she wrote a short journal entry about that day and her feelings while doing the photo shoot, I used it as the forward for Desert Nudes because it's a wonderful glimpse into what really happens. I then asked if she would want to help me put it together and over the next few months we worked on it together.
I owe everything to the people who braved the oh so early mornings and conditions out there, it is only because of their dedication and love of art that this book came about at all. There were moments of sheer beauty when the air was perfectly still and the sun had painted a watercolor sky, there were times it was blazing hot and Amy asked me "where to next?" I feel so blessed to be able to offer Desert Nudes, my humble tribute to a love of the desert, the balance of spirit and beauty of nature, it was a long, sometimes agonizing road and I would travel it again.... in a heartbeat.

For my first, and probably only, foray into James Bond this was definitely a good one. Compared to other spy novels I've read like The Talented Mr. Ripley or The Thin Man, I enjoyed this one the most! I'm not sure if it is because of the history of the novel, or because of the character James Bond.
So it will come as no surprise, that this is my local library's books into movies book group February read. What is surprising is that I suggested it. I did so because for some random reason, I have always been obsessed with the title—it's one of those iconic titles that everyone knows and for some reason it's always stuck with me even though I've never seen the movie or read the book. The second reason is that it's February and well, Valentine's Day. And finally Caroline made another connection: oh Russia, like Sochi, and the Olympics. So yet another great reason.

"I made this as a gift tag that said "Happy Birthday", then had "From my daughter's name" I put our last name initial where the 2 is and left off the date! Now anyone who receives a gift from her wil have a bright and cheerful "FROM" tag! Exceptional quality and detailed graphics! BEAUTIFUL! This product surpassed my expectations!"
"I am so pleased with this gift tag. I changed the name on the blue section to say "a gift for you" and added my kids' names on the red section. Changed the number in the orange circle to their last name initial and wrote " thanks for having us" in the green section at bottom. Can't wait to use them. They're colorful and fun."
"I LOVE this gift tag. Finally, a cute tag that has the "From" format. I have purchased the "Name only" gift tags in the past and I do love those as well, but sometimes people don't realize that the gift tag is indicating that the gift enclosed is from the person's whose name appears on the gift tag (some people think the gift is TO the person on the gift tag). I know this all sounds confusing, but to those of you who can relate I am sure you understand. This is a very cute design and a fun option for a family gift tag!"
"For such a little gift tag, this packs a punch! When I first opened, I must admit these tags took my breath away. So pretty and so perfect for a 6-year dol gift tag. Makes life a little easier knowing I can wrap take-home gift in simple cellophane bag with ribbon and this tag. Love it!"
"These are the perfect touch for sealing a card, a goodie bag, or making custom labels for different party favors. The only complaint is a minor one of the ink quality...just a tad lighter than the picture online (almost like I printed them myself) I had debated wether or not they were worth it, needless to say, I will definitely add these to all my future orders! Bonus: I received my order nearly a week earlier than expected."

|Men DI College Top 25 Feb 21 2011
|Rankings - Men DI College
There have been some big wins, and one big tie, since our last ranking. The tie was between Florida and Florida State Friday Feb. 18 in Tallahassee. The Seminoles finally stopped the Gators' seemingly infinite (at least 7-year) winning streak, but could not pull out the win. They face each other again April 9 to decide the South championship.
Perhaps the biggest win of the most recent week was Buffalo's 40-15 defeat of St. Joe's. Yes, St. Joe's is DII, but ranked very highly there and expected to compete for a national title. The carried extra weight given Buffalo's falter to Maryland at the tail end of the fall semester. Another big win was Northern Colorado's over CPL Colorado State. UNC has a very tradition-rich program and is methodically climbing higher. Also noteworthy was Virginia Tech's defeat of Navy.
The biggest jump, however, was made by Stanford. The Cardinal's overall record isn't wowing, but they're undefeated, having beaten everyone in the NorCal conference, and in the driver's seat to receive a Sweet 16 berth. SImilarly, Texas had to break into the list, as they've jumped to the front of the Texas Conference with a 4-1 record. The 'Horns travel to San Marcos Friday to face Texas State. Whoever wins should seal the Lone Star State's bid to nationals.
Dropping somewhat dramatically is Chico State. Their upcoming game against Sacramento State will determine who's to push Stanford the rest of the season. Some very good teams like Indiana, Miami of Ohio and Boston College have slid or dropped out. Just as the warm weather schools did in the fall, idle teams (especially those without playoff aspirations) will continue to plummet.
1. (1) Bowling Green 10-1 Idle

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Hostess is betting on a sweet comeback for Twinkies when they return to shelves next month.
FILE - A Hostess Twinkies sign is shown at the Utah Hostess plant in Ogden, Utah, in this Nov. 15, 2012 file photo. Hostess Brands Inc. says it's in talks with more than 100 parties interested in buying its brands, which include Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Ho Hos. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer, File)
The company that went bankrupt after an acrimonious fight with its unionized workers last year is back up and running under new owners and a leaner structure. It says it plans to have Twinkies and other snack cakes back on shelves starting July 15.
Based on the outpouring of nostalgia sparked by its demise, Hostess is expecting a blockbuster return next month for Twinkies and other sugary treats, such as CupCakes and Donettes. The company says the cakes will taste the same but that the boxes will now bare the tag line "The Sweetest Comeback In The History Of Ever."
"A lot of impostor products have come to the market while Hostess has been off the shelves," says Daren Metropoulos, a principal of the investment firm Metropoulos & Co., which teamed up with Apollo Global Management to buy a variety of Hostess snacks.
Hostess Brands Inc. was struggling for years before it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in early 2012. Workers blamed the troubles on years of mismanagement, as well as a failure of executives to invest in brands to keep up with changing tastes. The company said it was weighed down by higher pension and medical costs than its competitors, whose employees weren't unionized.
To steer it through its bankruptcy reorganization, Hostess hired restructuring expert Greg Rayburn as its CEO. But Rayburn ultimately failed to reach a contract agreement with its second largest union. In November, he blamed striking workers for crippling the company's ability to maintain normal production and announced that Hostess would liquidate.
The shuttering triggered a rush on Hostess snack cakes, with stores selling out of the most popular brands within hours.
About 15,000 unionized workers lost their jobs in the aftermath.
In unwinding its business, Hostess sold off its brands in chunks to different buyers. Its major bread brands including Wonder were sold to Flowers Foods, which makes Tastykakes. McKee Foods, which makes Little Debbie snack cakes, snapped up Drake's Cake, which includes Devil Dogs and Yodels.
Metropoulos & Co. and Apollo bought Twinkies and other Hostess cakes for $410 million.
Apollo Global Management, founded by Leon Black, is known for buying troubled brands then selling them for a profit; its investments include fast-food chains Carl's Jr. and Hardee's. Metropoulos & Co., which has revamped then sold off brands including Chef Boyardee and Bumble Bee, also owns Pabst Brewing Co.
That could mean some cross-promotional marketing is in store.
"There is certainly a natural association with the two," Metropoulos said. "There could be some opportunities for them to seen together."
The trimmed-down Hostess Brands LLC has a far less costly operating structure than the predecessor company. Some of the previous workers were hired back, but they're no longer unionized.
Hostess will also now deliver to warehouses that supply retailers, rather than delivering directly to stores, said Rich Seban, the president of Hostess who previously served as chief operating officer. That will greatly expand its reach, letting it deliver to dollar stores and nearly all convenience stores in the U.S.
Previously, he said Hostess was only able to reach about a third of the country's 150,000 convenience stores.
Production was also consolidated, from 11 bakery plants to four — one each in Georgia, Kansas, Illinois and Indiana. One of the seven eliminated was in Biddeford, Maine, which employed 370 workers. The headquarters were moved from Texas to Kansas City, Mo., where Hostess was previously based and still had some accounting offices.

Flashback to Rex Ryan's first year in New York and his Jets were in an eerily similar situation to what they face this week. Ten games into the 2009 regular season, Gang Green fashioned an identical 4-6 record and would go on to win five of its last six contests to secure the sixth seed in the AFC; riding the momentum to a conference title game berth. While Mark Sanchez was just a young pup back then, New York's embattled signal-caller is hoping this year's version can draw inspiration from that gritty 2009 squad.
"It's a similar situation, so hopefully we can get as many wins as possible, keep playing hard, continue to play smart and clean, really take care of the football, play well in all three phases and we have a chance," said Sanchez.
Three short years later, Sanchez's future outlook with the Jets has been brought into question in light of his inconsistent play and poor decision making. While football pundits argue that this year's team pales in comparison to the 2009 Jets—both from a leadership and talent standpoint—Sanchez believes that the winning formula hasn't changed in spite of a bevy of personnel changes.
"I think things started to turn our way towards the end of the season," noted Sanchez of the 2009 team gaining momentum. "We understood the importance of taking care of the football. We ran the ball well down the stretch. We were efficient in the passing game. We were good on defense and special teams. We really tightened and played our best football towards the end of the year, so hopefully we can do the same."
With the Jets preparing to stage a late season playoff push this year, the chatter from Rex Ryan and company has been unusually quiet leading up to their Thanksgiving Day matchup with the New England Patriots. While the media and fans are accustomed to loads of hype and excitement in advance of this AFC East divisional showdown, Sanchez is just fine with the calm before the storm.
"That's how it should be every week," said Sanchez of his team's tight-lipped approach. "There's nothing really to say except that we know they're a great team. It's a great challenge for us on a big stage. There's nothing else you want, playing this position and playing in this city, it's everything you've ever dreamed of."
Speaking of dreams, the Jets kept theirs alive with a win last week over the St. Louis Rams. While Gang Green is encouraged by a strong performance in Week 11, the team is adopting a phased approach for the stretch run.
"That's the most important thing, not to change our preparation and make sure it's focused the way it should be, but not to press, not to take things too lightly and to just attack it the right way," admitted Sanchez. "I think the coaches have really put an emphasis on that. We'll just keep rolling and hopefully rack up some more wins."

Comments about Marucci 2013 Elite -10 Big Barrel Baseball Bat:
I've been involved in baseball for over 25yrs. And this bat reminds me of the bats I swung back in college in the late 80's early 90's "Gorilla Ball" this bat has a ton of pop and launches of the bat!! This past weekend my 10U team hit four bombs with this bat in our tournament. Would I recommend this bat you better believe it hands down. Great job Marucci ordering two more for my team in the morning!

Baseball Bat Sizing Chart
Bat sizing charts:
Softball Bat Sizing
To find the correct bat length for your softball-playing daughter, have her stand straight up with her arms to the side. Place a ruler to her side with the start of the ruler (the "0" mark) on the ground. Read the measurement at the end of her wrist, just where the hand meets the forearm. As a general rule, this measurement indicates the perfect bat length for her.
Another sizing method for Baseball and Softball
Another great means for determining bat size is what we'll call the wingspan method. Have your son or daughter stand up tall with their arms straight out (arms should be parallel to the ground as if they were trying to mimic an airplane). Measure from the very center of their chest out to the tip of their fingers. That measurement will give you the ideal bat length.
It's always best to try to size using a variety of methods to come up with their ideal. For youth which are still growing, we recommend that you go with the longest length obtained through the various sizing methods. We often use the break of the wrist method (described in the softball bat sizing above) along with this method and use the longer of the two.

7 Scariest Places on Earth for Adventure-Seekers
Researching then writing about 7 of the scariest places in the world is not something I'd recommend for an evening activity. I've had my fair share of scares for the season, and I don't plan on visiting a single haunted house or Halloween event! Scary locations, spooky houses, and historical sites seem to be everywhere, but there are a handful that stand out more than others. All of the stories behind each one of the places I've highlighted here are haunting, chilling, and, sometimes, downright terrifying. They are not myths, nor are they the result of legends. Each one has a true story, some of which are almost unbelievable. I've included a basic synopsis of each spooky destination, but be sure to click on the links for more information as many of them go further in depth! - By Nadia Carriere

I would like to thank the organizing committees for both the Marshall Tucker Band concert and Neewollah on Noble for their vision and determination to see the events through.
I would also like to thank the numerous volunteers and the city workers for their time and efforts to make both events successful.
And I would like to thank the countless sponsors, the city of Anniston, and the Spirit of Anniston for their financial donations to ensure these events were free to the public for all to enjoy.
These two days gave a small taste of what can be done when we all work together and brought true meaning to the slogan "One City One Vision."
