It was one of those types of competitive games where either team could have walked off the field a winner. A handful of clutch plays likely decided Stratford's 26-13 victory over Fort Dorchester on Friday night at Bagwell Stadium.
Stratford quarterback Jacob Park was the benefactor of at least a couple game-changing moments from a pair of senior teammates.
Thad Thompson turned an ordinary route into an extraordinary 86-yard touchdown play down the sideline in the first half as the Knights built a 16-6 halftime lead.
Later, Tyree Scroggins had a similar momentum-snatching play for the Knights to ignite a big finish for Stratford.
Fort Dorchester quarterback Kobe Garrett's second touchdown, a 5-yard run, capped a 69-yard drive and pulled the Patriots within 16-13 with 8:48 left.
But, one play later, Scroggins absorbed a swing pass from Park and shed two tacklers right at the point of the catch before weaving his way into the Patriots' red zone 62 yards later.
Moments afterwards, Park plunged in from the 1, pushing the lead to 23-13 just 63 seconds after Garrett's touchdown.
Cornerback Sheldon Reid then sealed it for the Knights by stepping in front of an out route and making an interception. That led to Tyler Tekac's 27-yard field goal with 2:29 remaining.
"These are big games," Fort Dorchester coach Steve LaPrad said. "We made mistakes you can't make in these types of games. We dropped a touchdown and missed numerous tackles on the perimeter... We're not bad. We've just got to get back to work and fix some things."
Park finished with over 320 yards passing to power the Knights to a 3-0 record. Thompson made five grabs for 152 yards and Scroggins caught three passes for 99 yards.
"That's what makes our team special," Park said. "We've got kids that can come out of the backfield and make a big play or catch a long ball down the sidelines. That's what makes our team unique. We've got the threat of just flicking them the ball and they can take it to the house."
Garrett shined for Fort Dorchester (2-1) too, finishing with 115 yards rushing and 127 passing. His other touchdown was a 17-yard scamper in the first quarter that answered Jordan Johnson's 7-yard touchdown run for Stratford.
"(Garrett) is extremely quick," Stratford coach Ray Stackley said. "We had a hard time tackling him."
In the second quarter, Tekac made his first chip shot, a 25-yarder, and Thompson got loose for his long touchdown as Stratford led 16-6.
It was still far from a perfect performance, Stratford offensive coordinator Dennie McDaniel said.
"We had some miscommunications," he added. "It's great to come out here, not play well and still win. Our goal is to get better each week and I think we did. But there are lots of things we can get better on."
Next week, Stratford hosts Ashley Ridge in a game the Knights will be expected to win while Fort Dorchester travels to Goose Creek, which will be coming off a 34-17 victory over chief Fort Dorchester rival Summerville.
"We look forward to that just like playing Stratford," LaPrad said. "That's how you identify what type of program you've got. We're not there yet but we're right there."

The moral failings of the church, which is supposed to be the centerpiece of morality and helping shape the lives of the broken-hearted and steer tomorrow's leaders on a clear path to meaningful development in our communities is nothing short of religious hypocrisy of the highest order.
What is happening to the church today is almost like a 21 century religious inquisition, where the church is now being forced to confront its own hypocrisy and unacceptable behaviors that evidence shows have been condoned for a long time.
In fact, from the revelations that have come out from the mighty, all powerful Roman Catholic Church, it appeared as if there was a clearly crafted method to shield pedophile priests from any potential exposure for their shameful behavior. Some of these priests were transferred to other churches once word got out that they abused and manipulated their youngest congregation members. Some victims have been left with permanent emotional scars. Whenever the leadership of the church is confronted they plead ignorance to a litany of abuse of church power and influence.
For example, the former Catholic archbishop of Boston, Cardinal Bernard Law, was forced to resign in the midst of a scandal for his failure to defrock John Geoghan, a priest in his archdiocese who was accused of abusing more than 100 minors from 1962 to 1995. Instead of disciplining Cardinal Law, the Vatican, the world's most wealthy and influential religious government, invited Law to occupy a prestigious position at the Vatican as well as a nice apartment in the basilica he now calls home, thousands of miles away from the sex abuse victims.
Is that how those who helped create an atmosphere where children are sexually abused get rewarded?
Last week in London, the head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI, received an unusual greeting. Thousands of people took to the streets to protest the sexual abuse of minors in the church. The Pope, who has been dancing around the issue for a long time and playing religious semantics, was forced to apologize in a way he had not done before.
"I express my deep sorrow to the innocent victims of these unspeakable crimes. I also acknowledge with you the shame and humiliation that all of us have suffered because of these sins," Pope Benedict said during a mass in London.
The same week that Pope Benedict was in London begging for forgive ness, the Black church was also hit with a massive scandal focused on alleged abuse at the mega New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta where the flamboyant Bishop Eddie Long sits as the leader of a 25,000-member congregation.
Long is facing four lawsuits alleging he abused young Black men who were part of a select group of young men he personally handpicked to provide spiritual guidance for.
The plaintiffs appear to have some damaging evidence, such as receipts, W-2 forms, photos Long is believed to have sent to them — showing him in unusual outfits — among other items.
Aside from the fact that this latest sex scandal is rocking one of the most prominent Black churches in the country, it is also significant because this same church was the venue in 2006 of the historic funeral of Coretta Scott King, widow of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Four U.S. presidents attended that funeral, catapulting Long's religious and financial empire to greater heights.
The twist to this unfolding story in Atlanta that is the talk in Black churches across the nation is that Long has been a leading anti-gay advocate, leading marches in Atlanta against the gay community.
Now he stands accused.
The Black church has always played down issues pertaining to homosexuality, just as it does with the AIDS crisis.
In fact, a visit to Black pulpits on Sunday mornings will reveal nothing but a diatribe of conservative theology that inherently opposes gays and lesbians.
Is the Black church finally coming to terms with an issue that has been swept under the carpet for so long?
Is this an inquisition moment for the Black church that has long paraded itself as the epitome of social justice representation?
But at the center of these allegations of sexual misconduct lies the abuse of absolute power, whether it is the Roman Catholic Church, the Black church or the Evangelical church where Ted Haggard, a once outspoken gay critic, fell after it was revealed that he paid a man named Mike Jones for sex for three years.
The fact is that these churches have no means of accountability. The pastor is the representation of an absolute monarchy. The poor, middle class, rich and everyone in between are steadfastly giving their offerings and paying their tithes every Sunday.
What do they get in return for these contributions from their hard-earned incomes?

Just a few months ago, few people in Columbiana County had heard anything about Marcellus Shale.
What is the Marcellus Shale? According to the Web site geology.com, "The Marcellus Shale, also referred to as the Marcellus Formation, is a Middle Devonian-age black, low density, (organic rich) shale that occurs in the subsurface beneath much of Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York." The shale contains natural gas about a mile below the surface.
The Devonian is a geologic period spanning from 416 to 359.2 million years ago. It is named after Devon, England, where rocks from this period were first studied.
Why are we suddenly hearing so much about Marcellus Shale? In 2003, a Marcellus well drilled in Washington County, Pa. yielded a significant flow of natural gas.
Then, in 2008, Terry Englander, a geoscience professor at Penn State, and Gary Lash, a geology professor at the State University of New York at Fredonia, estimated that the Marcellus might contain more than 500 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. By using the horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing methods that had previously been used in the Barnett Shale of Texas, they estimated that 10 percent of that gas or 50 trillion cubic feet, might be recoverable. That volume of natural gas would be enough to supply the entire United States for about two years and have a wellhead value of about $1 trillion dollars.
According to geology.com, if the Marcellus Shale holds up to the optimistic expectations of some natural gas experts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York and West Virginia could temporarily have an enormous boost in income that might be sustained for a few decades.
Sounds great ... or does it? While drilling activity and permit requests have increased immensely in Pennsylvania, it has not been without controversy. Just last month, 13 Pa. families living in the Marcellus Shale area filed a lawsuit claiming their water wells have been contaminated by poisonous fluids blasted deep underground by a drilling company using hydraulic fracturing.
While some are debating the effects of hydraulic fracturing on groundwater, the potential for landowners to be duped into signing away their mineral rights at a fraction of their worth is another concern of those opposed to this drilling.
At a meeting held last week at the Columbiana County Career Center, Mike McCormac, an oil and gas manager for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' division of mineral resource management, said "We don't have a lot of drilling activity. What we have is a lot of permitting activity.''
As of August, the state had yet to issue a single permit to drill for natural gas in the Marcellus Shale deposit in Columbiana County, although the number of mineral releases exploded from 18 during the first three months of the year to 208 over the next three months.
Officials expect drilling to come to the county eventually since these companies will want a return for securing these leases.
So, is it the next Gold Rush, or can drilling in the Marcellus Shale cause more problems for property owners than it's worth? Perhaps, only time will tell.
But in the meantime, property owners approached by drilling companies should be vigilant about doing their homework, and, before signing anything, consult an attorney.
Monday's meeting drew a standing-room-only crowd of more than 500. About 75 percent of those attending indicated by a show of hands they had been approached by gas companies interested in leasing their land.
Meetings such as the one held Monday are an excellent source of information for those who are considering leasing their property for drilling and we hope more will be scheduled since it is evident there is a huge interest in Columbiana County.

A haircut is not necessarily just a haircut.
Just ask clients of local barber Irving Greenberg, who has been cutting hair for 50 years, all but one of those years in Charleston.
Many customers are loyal to Greenberg, not only for his well-honed skills but for good conversation, advice, the rare treat of an old-school shave and even to exchange a book or two.
Greenberg, 69, has worked at Oskar's Family Barber Shop in South Windermere since 1986. He is versatile, being as comfortable giving squirming boys their first haircuts to going to Bishop Gadsden retirement community to cut hair for customers who have moved there and are unable to get to the shop.
Despite approaching 70 and spending thousands of hours on his feet, Greenberg says he has no plans to retire.
"I don't know what I'd do. It's my whole life — dealing with people. I've had conversations with some people for 50 years."
He adds, "I still learn from my customers, especially my older ones. They are wise. They've put the time in. They always have something significant to say. You learn from people."
He shares his passion for reading with many of his customers, whom he exchanges books with on a regular basis.
"I get the best reviews you can ever imagine because I have so many customers who are avid readers. We exchange books constantly. The good ones I save, and I know certain people like to read certain books."
His "significant other" of nearly 30 years, Doris Cook, says Greenberg loves his work too much to leave it.
"His clientele are the fathers of the city," says Cook. "He'll be there until the end. I know that."
Starting in the Navy
A career with the clippers started in the Navy in 1963, when Greenberg got on-the-job training on the aircraft carrier Saratoga, the flagship for the Sixth Fleet.
"The admiral was on board, so you had to be squared away. If your haircut was too long, or shoes unshined, or a button was unbuttoned, you had to serve extra duty or couldn't go on liberty. If your hair wasn't cut properly, they'd bring you down to the barbershop and skin you."
After that year, Greenberg came home and went to barber school.
"I always wanted to work for myself. I really didn't want a boss. I wanted to do it my way. So I figured if I were a barber, after paying my dues and learning the skills, that would be how I could have that life."
After barber school, he apprenticed with Carl Bunch at Bunch's Barber Shop, located catty-corner from Berlins on Broad Street for 18 months. Then he went to the Heart of Charleston Motel, which used to be the Charleston Hotel for 12 years, and eventually took over the lease.
Before moving to Oskar's in 1986, he worked as a "free agent" for 12 years at the Charleston Inn on Lockwood Drive near the Medical University of South Carolina.
His other career
One of the reasons he has plenty of stories to tell is that Greenberg had another life as a big-time sport fisherman.
For 40 years, Greenberg was an independent boat captain but worked primarily for the late Dennis Lee of Henry J. Lee Distributors. The job took him to Florida, the Bahamas and even farther, to the waters of Venezuela and Ecuador.
"For most of that time, I had a barbershop and had people working for me. I'd mark out X amount of days in January so I wouldn't miss anybody. Some customers would call and (coworkers would) say Irving's out sick today, and they'd say, 'Oh yeah. Where is he fishing?' "
Nine years ago, after Lee developed Alzheimer's disease and later died, Greenberg gave up the physical demands of sport fishing, but he seems content with the great memories.
"The reason I elected to fish when I was young, I knew that when I was old, I wouldn't be able to do it."
His soulmate
Nobody knows Greenberg like Cook.
"I found him back in the 1980s at what used to be a quaint jazz club (Myskyns). ... He was standing at my spot at the bar," says Cook.
Cook and Greenberg quickly found out that they shared a passion for the water. While his thing was fishing and powerboats, she loved sailing.
"Water was the bond," says the 59-year-old Cook, who used to be an avid cyclist in Charleston long before the roads started filling up with them.
The two got even closer in July 2009, when Cook was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer that starts in the plasma cells in bone marrow.
She describes Greenberg as "her rock" through the initial treatment, a stem-cell transplant in March 2011 using cells from her own blood, "which saved my life," and ongoing treatments, which includes daily oral chemotherapy.
"She's doing really well," says Greenberg. "She's under the care of MUSC. It's not a curable disease, but it's treatable. In the last few years, they have made great strides in medications ... but (she) also has a good attitude."
Looking out
Helping Cook isn't the first time Greenberg has played a role in healing.
As a barber, he sees a lot of suspicious moles and spots, some of which have turned out to be melanoma, on the heads and necks of customers.
"There's so much skin cancer it's unbelievable. ... I think I've saved (the lives of) at least a dozen people," Greenberg says of spotting possible cancers and urging people to see a dermatologist. "They (customers) can't see the top of their head, behind their ears, in their ears. I can and if I see something, I say something."
"I had a customer who had a mole under his nose. I kept telling him it was getting bigger and that I didn't like it. I said to him, 'If you don't do something about it, you're going to have to find a new barber because I can't stand watching this thing happen.' "
"He ended up having six surgeries on his face."
Not on the radar
During a rainy February day at the barbershop, customers made it clear why Greenberg doesn't want to hang up the scissors.
Customer Jon Alley and Greenberg were talking and laughing. Alley says he's known Greenberg "a real long time."
"He is an excellent barber because he cuts my hair very well and cuts to my head. But it's just a joy to be with him. He's just so much fun to listen to. He has very interesting stories and a fascinating life. He's just a joy to be around."
Bill Heigold, 79, was waiting for his haircut and listening to Alley and Greenberg cut up with a smile on his face.
"I look forward to getting my hair cut because I like him," Heigold says of Greenberg. "I like him. He gives a good haircut, especially for me because I don't have much hair. But he's so pleasant and has good stories."

Get ready to throw some rice at your TV!
After Monday's emotional Bachelor finale, Sean Lowe and his new fiancée, Catherine Giudici, appeared on ABC's After the Final Rose special for the first time in public as a couple – and spoke to host Chris Harrison about what's next.
"A marriage follows a proposal," Sean said. "We don't have a date yet, but we have decided that we think it would be cool, since our relationship started and it was developed and cultivated on a TV show – we'll have our wedding on a TV show. And ABC will cover the wedding."
Harrison was thrilled with the announcement that the newest Bachelor couple will have a televised wedding, just like former Bachelorette couple Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum.
"You are going to get married – we don't have a date yet – very soon," Harrison said.
"Soon," Catherine said. "I don't see why there would be any waiting period. I want to be his wife."
And Sean agreed: "I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I can't wait to have the wedding," he said. "If it were up to me I'd go to the courthouse and get it done."
"It just so happens, I am ordained," Harrison replied. "We could do this."
Catherine quickly asked, "Do you have a dress?" And Sean suggested that their families might be upset if they took their vows without them.
"We have never had a couple like this," Chris said, "to come out of the gate so sincere, so serious and ready to take that next step ... Congratulations, it really is beautiful."
As they plan their wedding, Chris asked if they'll be moving to Sean's hometown, Dallas.
"Life is so crazy right now," Sean said. "I've figured out one thing: don't plan your life out because God is going to throw you a curve ball real fast. But she's packed her bags and whatever happens, we're going to do it together."
Sean Lowe & Catherine Giudici Are on the Fast Track to Wed – on TV!

Hi everyone,
I've got some problems with installing and playing AoE on my HP laptop with windows 7. It has a AMD Mobility Radeon HD 6700 graphics card, capable of running battlefield 3 in high settings, and 8 Gb of physical memory. Here's the problem:
I first installed the game using disks. Installation went on fine, but then, when everything was installed (all 3 disks inserted and installed), I couldn't actually launch the game. I would double click the icon to launch it, but nothing happened. My windows aero theme was switched to basic, and a loading circle around my mouse cursor showed up, but then.. well, nothing. I followed the age3.exe process using windows task manager, and at first it would use around 4000 K of memory, but then after a minute drop to 230ish K. So I started looking around forums, including this one, for solutions. Here's a list of things I tried:
-run as administrator-run in compatibility mode for windows xp service pack 3/ windows vista/ windows 7-restart computer-reinstall (numerous times)-run age3.exe directlyThen when nothing worked, I decided to try it with a different copy of age of empires (which I downloaded of *** to be honest). Here is a list of the things I did:
-uninstalled old version using revo uninstaller-deleted registry related files-deleted game folder -deleted C:// ... /Program files(x86)/microsoft games/age of empires 3 -defragmented disk-cleaned up everything using ccleaner-mounted the image files of AoEIII using daemon tools -run mounted imagePROBLEM: age of empires screen comes up with options "play" or "uninstall", yet every trace of AoE has been deleted of my computer, so I:-click uninstall option: windows setup comes up, then quits again. Nothing happens.-restarted computer-remounted image -age of empires screen comes up, this time with option "install".
PROBLEM: So I click the install button, and the windows setup screen comes up. But then, again (as with the uninstall problem), when the setup reaches "preparing to install..", the green bar goes to about 3/4th the length, and then the setup window simply closes. No errors, no pop ups, nothing. -I try to run setup directly from disk, and the same problem occurs. -I ran the setup as an administrator and in compatibility mode, and still no change of situation.-I restarted my laptop, cleaned everything up (with revo uninstaller, regedit, ccleaner)Nothing seems to help.Yet, when I try to install the asian dynasties, the whole installation process is fine (I can't play it of course since you need the main game installed) , but I can't seem to install the age of empires III main game.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Hey Dutch,
When I read the first sentence.. windows 7... hp... Yeah man those two are at the very bottom of my list that I would use. I can already guess the issue is with windows 7.
Now if you are comfortable with remote support please let me know so I can take a look. If you are not comfortable which I totally understand;
What you can do is download procmon and procexp by sysinternals. Procexp is an advanced taskmanager that shows many additional details about running processes. This includes dlls loaded, threads, command line, open ports, image, much more.
Procmon is a file and registry activity monitoring tool. When you launch it, it starts telling you the current file actions being performed on your computer. With windows 7 this is alot even when your computer should be idle, so what you need to do is setup a filter that only monitors age3.exe and the install file what ever it's called.
With this tool you can monitor what file actions are being done and check to see if there were any access denied's or file/registry write failures during setup or startup of age of empires.
If it runs without showing a window, it must be missing some specific additional dlls or does not have full administrive access, in other words it doesn't have full resources to run.
Metis: "Remember that if you are running under Windows 7 that you you must run
the game both under XP, service pack 3 compatibility mode and as an administrator."
Did you try running it this way?
age of empires screen comes up with options "play" or "uninstall", yet every trace of AOE has been deleted of my computer
age of empires screen comes up with options "play" or "uninstall", yet every trace of AOE has been deleted of my computer
Actually, it hasn't and the reason is probably because of the User Account Control and/or your security applications and settings.
Follow the steps in the Install/Reinstall procedures.
Make sure that you are on an account with full admin privileges that has taken ownership of the Program Files and Documents folders, then look for and delete any remnants of AOE 3 in
Use Temp File Cleaner to clear up your temporary file folder (run it as an admin).
Run the Microsoft FixIt to help you finish the uninstall.
Reboot your computer.
As it appears that you may have downloaded from a torrent, run the online version of Eset's anti-malware scanner. If the scanner finds malware, follow the instructions here.
Reinstall the game.
AoE III works fine on my windows 7 machine and the windows 7 compatibility says it should
you do not need to us any emulators. It should just run from 7.
I have 7 Ultimate with a 1.8ghz Raedon 6450 graphics 3 gb ram 160hd with a socket a motherboard
tbaker13:AOE III works fine on my windows 7 machine... you do not need to us any emulators. It should just run from 7.
On some Windows 7 systems systems, especially single-user 32-bit systems, AOE III installs and runs just fine because the system's settings allow it to install properly and automatically configure the executables to run with the proper privileges and compatibility. However, not all systems will do this; the procedures are for those who are having trouble installing the game.
Hi, and thanks for the fast replies! @alex, what exactly do you mean with remote support? I will give those programs a try in a minute. And yes, I did run the files both in compatibility mode and administrator-mode (is that a mode?? :P) @Metis, it's funny you should reply, because I actually followed your guide step by step, but I skipped the whole permission-part because there's only one account on my computer, and that's (obviously) my account. So I didn't think the problem would lie there... so am I wrong?btw: fix it didn't list age of empires, I tried that one already..@tbaker13, a friend of mine has a self-assembled desktop with windows 7 64bit aswell, and he didn't have any problems whatsoever.
Oke, so I've downloaded the processmonitor, and it showed me this:
-a couple of times it gives a "FILE LOCKED WITH ONLY READERS" result-it also gives a couple of "NO SUCH FILE" result during the operation QueryDirectory and the file wing.dll or wing32.dllafter that it exits thread and after bunch of succesfull "QueryNameInformationFile" operation the process exits. a couple of other results I see:
"name not found", "sharing violation", "end of file" and "no more files".What should I pay attention to?
Try installing the game with a different Admin account.
I put a box around the Local Users and Groups.
yes precisely, but the "local users and groups" is missing.
I'm trying to post a picture of it, but it isn't working..
oh well, just a link then: http://s1053.photobucket.com/albums/s474/dutchJSCOOP/?action=view¤t=Capture1.png

Suspects Roused by Jihadist Thought
Brother Says They Were Motivated by Muslim Anger at U.S.; Fireworks May Be Source of Explosives
The investigation into the Boston Marathon bombing yielded two revelations Tuesday: The surviving suspect said he and his brother were inspired by jihadists online, and the brothers bought two large pyrotechnic devices that could shed light on how they built their explosives.
Authorities have been trying to piece together how and why the brothers accused of the April 15 bombing carried out their plans. In limited communication with federal investigators, including handwritten answers, surviving suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev said he and his older brother acted alone and without the help of any terrorist group, U.S. officials said Tuesday.
The two were acting as jihadists, motivated by Muslim religious anger at the U.S., the surviving brother told interrogators, these officials said.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told investigators that the brothers were self-trained and self-indoctrinated, and were striking back at the U.S. for killing Muslims. His statements and other evidence have led U.S. authorities so far to believe that the bombers weren't part of a larger terror group, though no firm conclusions have been made.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev bought the two pyrotechnic devices in February from a New Hampshire fireworks store, a development being examined by federal investigators probing how the brothers constructed bombs without detection.
William Weimer, a vice president of Phantom Fireworks, said Tamerlan Tsarnaev on Feb. 6 purchased two "Lock and Load" reloadable mortar kits at the company's Seabrook, N.H., store, just over the line from Massachusetts. Each kit contains 24 shells and four tubes for firing them into the air.
Mr. Tsarnaev paid cash for the kits, which retail for $199.99. The company has turned over records of the purchases to investigators, Mr. Weimer said. Another Phantom Fireworks store sold fireworks used in the failed 2010 Times Square bombing.
It isn't yet known if the powder from fireworks was used in the Boston bombings, and authorities continue to search for any other explosives purchases and possible accomplices who may have provided materials for the bombs, U.S. authorities said.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation already has described other parts of the bombs, which were placed in pressure cookers and packed with nails and BBs.
Each of the parts described so far has innocuous uses and could be purchased easily, showing how a weapon could be built without arousing suspicion.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed in a firefight with police four days after the bombings. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, is hospitalized with gunshot wounds, including one to the throat that has hampered his speech.
U.S. prosecutors on Monday charged the younger brother and released evidence they said showed the brothers of Chechen descent carried out the twin bombings, killing three people and injuring more than 200.
An FBI affidavit said the bombs contained "low-grade explosives" and a "large pyrotechnic" had been found at the younger brother's college dorm room in Massachusetts.

A federal law-enforcement official briefed on the probe said the government's working theory was that the powder used in the bombs could have come from high-powered fireworks. The official said there were other possible sources for similar powder and investigators hadn't drawn any firm conclusions.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told interrogators that he and his brother used a bomb-making recipe from al Qaeda's online Inspire magazine, U.S. officials said. The recipe suggests assembling a bomb using different explosives, including fireworks, gunpowder and match heads.
On Tuesday, FBI officials briefed U.S. lawmakers. Sen. Richard Burr (R., N.C.) said it was his clear understanding that the older brother was the driving force for the plot.
While the brothers' influences remain to be fully determined, "certainly YouTube and some of the information that's out there played a big part in it," Mr. Burr said, referring to anti-U.S. Islamic extremist material.
U.S. officials have said the FBI interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev in 2011 at the request of Russian officials concerned about possible contacts with militants but found no proof of suspicious behavior and closed the case.
Mr. Burr said that the FBI told lawmakers it had been in contact with the Russians about the brothers "at least once" since 2011, but didn't elaborate on what information was learned.
Mr. Weimer of Phantom Fireworks in Youngstown, Ohio, said that his company believes that the quantity of powder in the fireworks wouldn't have been nearly sufficient to produce the Boston blasts. Each shell contains a small amount of explosive material, and some is used to produce whistles and other effects.
Mr. Weimer said extracting powder from the mortar kits "would have been a very long, involved process."
Much larger quantities of black powder and similar low-grade explosives can be purchased at gun stores and other outlets, he said, and would have been a simpler and cheaper way for the alleged bombers to procure explosive material.
"It's highly doubtful" the Boston bombers used consumer-grade fireworks, said Julie Heckman, executive director of the American Pyrotechnics Association, an industry trade group. She said it would take far more than 48 of the small mortar shells to produce the explosions seen in Boston.
Other experts, however, said people could make a bomb from such fireworks. "It's a rather primitive way to build an explosive device, but you could do it," said John Conkling, a chemist with decades of experience in fireworks. "You would also have a good chance of blowing yourself up.''
He agreed it would be cheaper and easier to buy black powder at a store. "As soon as I saw the video of the explosion, I said that looks just like black powder," Mr. Conkling said.

5 Reasons You Don't Miss Your 20s When They're Over
#2. You'll be Balancing the Heaviest Workload of Your Life -- Or At Least it Feels Like It
So you've been out of high school for two years. You're now in college, halfway to your bachelor's degree in male pole dancing. You spend the day attending class and your nights working a local taco joint because you realized one month into your first semester that you couldn't survive on student loans and financial aid alone.
You have four major tests and three research papers due at the end of the week, and you haven't done a single second's worth of studying because you planned to do that on downtime at work -- and it turns out that drunk people love tacos at 2:30 a.m. after the bars close.
And they are a fucking pleasure to be around.
Meanwhile, your mom has been nagging you to come home for a visit next weekend, and you can't really get out of it because the last time you were home was during summer break. But you still haven't taken your girlfriend out, and she's getting restless around five thousand other college males with working genitalia and an infinite supply of box wine.
You manage to pull off two of your research papers on four hours of sleep, but the other one just plain isn't going to get finished in time. So you beg your professor for an extension, which he denies because he couldn't give less of a shit about your problems. His is the only class that exists in the entire school as far as he's concerned, and you should have spent more time writing and less time taco-ing. He wants it in his hands by tomorrow morning. So you resign yourself to another four hours of sleep and bust out a half-assed paper that will pull a C at best. But since the paper accounts for a quarter of your total grade, it'll have to do because the F from not turning it in would wreck your GPA.
Meanwhile, your boss at work catches you nodding off during your shift and tells you that your school schedule isn't his concern. He hired you to make tacos, and if you can't do that he'll find someone who can. He has a business to run.
"Now, you get in there and stir 6,000 gallons of meat chunks!"
Now, a lot of the older readers are thinking, "Ha! I run my own roofing business and on top of working 80-hour weeks, I have seven kids, and four of them are in wheelchairs! Try living my life, college kid!" but you worked your way up to that. You got acclimated to going without sleep and having no down time.
When you're 20 or 21, the sudden change in life's difficulty curve is an absolute shock. The amount of free time in your life is slashed down to nothing, all at once, and the number of responsibilities suddenly explode. Your body needs sleep more than any time of your life other than infancy, and you're not allowed to get it.
There is probably at least one war veteran out there eager to point out that at 20 they were in Iraq trying to defuse homemade bombs, but the military is actually a good example -- the entire process of basic training is built to shock the recruit into understanding how radically the world's expectations have changed. Maybe that's what we all need, some guy to yell it into our face on the first day. Instead, nobody tells you, and all of these new, conflicting expectations just start slowly pulling your limbs off.
"Man, I really need to have my own kids to take this out on."
#1. You're Uncertain About Your Adult Status
Twenty is the age where you most likely have a couple of straggler friends who are still in high school. Like say in high school you were a senior and they were a sophomore, but now you're out. When you were both teenagers, there was nothing strange about it -- teenagers hang out together. But when you're 20 or 21 and you stop by to pick up your friend for lunch, you're now the weird old guy from Dazed and Confused who refuses to let his high school years die. And you figure, yeah, but even at 18 Steve is cool and mature. But now Steve has a sophomore friend, Matt, who's only 16. And he's brought his 14-year-old girlfriend along. And all at once, you realize that some of the people in this car live on a different planet than you.
"So ... uh ... menstruating yet?"
But even with the Steves of the world, you have these little reminders -- they still can't legally buy alcohol or be caught with it, they're legally bound to local curfew ordinances, they can't go into the clubs that you can. And all of that teenager stuff you used to get away with -- sneaking beers behind the backs of your parents, etc. -- the kind of stuff that would get you grounded back then? If you get caught doing that shit now, your ass goes straight to jail for corruption of a minor. In a hundred different ways the world is telling you, "Move on, dude, this is getting creepy."
But there's another side to that coin. When you get into conversations with people just a few years older than you, they're still fucking treating you like a teenager.
You're not taken seriously on any adult subject because you have virtually no life experience yet. Your political opinions? "Yeah, that's what I'd expect from someone your age. You'll think differently when you're older." Opinions on raising children? "Yeah, you'll laugh at what you just said when you're 30 and have kids of your own. Hell, you're still a kid yourself." And don't think you can just earn your way out of it -- if you are successful in your career right out of school, that just makes people resent you more. They'll look at you and your advanced work position and say, "I wonder who he's related to?"
If you want a vivid example of what I mean, try walking onto a car dealership at 20. The salesman won't come out and try to talk you into a car. He'll look at you like you're about to vandalize something. In that setting, you might as well be 13. At a party with teenagers, you might as well be 30.
"I totally fit in here!"
So all the movies that make those years of your life look like a romantic, vibrant sex-o-coaster? Fuck 'em. I know better.

Detroit Red Wings center Darren Helm is out for the playoffs after having surgery Wednesday night to repair lacerated tendons in his right forearm, the club announced today.
Helm is expected to make a full recovery and be ready for the start of training camp in September.
Helm's was cut by the blade of Alexander Radulov's skate with about six minutes to play in the first period of Nashville's 3-2 victory in Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinals at Bridgestone Arena.
It's a huge loss for the team, which relies heavily on Helm's speed, forechecking ability and physical play, particularly in the playoffs.
The injury likely will prompt coach Mike Babcock to move Justin Abdelkader from fourth-line center back to third-line center, where he played the final 10 games of the regular season, when Helm was idled by a sprained left MCL.
Cory Emmerton would then move from wing back to center on the fourth line. Rookie Gustav Nyquist or veteran Chris Conner likely will be inserted into the lineup for Game 2 Friday in Nashville.

Blake Shelton may work in Hollywood, but that doesn't mean he's gone Hollywood. Or ever will.
Shelton, 37, finds that setting foot in his home state of Oklahoma refreshes his soul, he tells Men's Journal for its August issue.
"As soon as we're done on Wednesdays, my a–– is on the plane," Shelton says about filming NBC's The Voice, whose new season debuts Sept. 23 and reunites him with original judges Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine.
"I get in my truck, I see the fields, see the cows."
Shelton and his wife Miranda Lambert, 29, own a "small prairie fiefdom" in Johnston County, Oklahoma, near a small town called Tishomingo.
"There's a Dollar General, on Main Street, and a Family Dollar," Shelton tells the magazine. "And if you can't find what you need there … the closest Walmart is … 15 miles away."
And what does a "hot date" in small-town America consist of for the famous duo?
"Throwing a cooler in the back of the pickup and driving around the property clearing brush and singing to the radio," says Shelton, who admits to enjoying a few drinks at home and even on-set. "Or else having dinner at the all-you-can-eat rib buffet and dessert at Dairy Queen. When we get home, we like to be home."
Although Shelton now spends six months of the year in L.A. with Lambert when she's not on tour, he insists he doesn't like sushi, doesn't get yoga and will not buy a house in California.
"There's something about owning a house here that makes it official," he says.

What a gem. Some oddly placed obstructed view seats, an upper deck that is so close to the action it practically hangs out over the ice, actual registers on the walls the keep the place warm and benches across the ice from each other. Unfortunately that quirkiness means it had about two small bathrooms.
I thought since we're waiting for the NHL talks to go somewhere we cold discuss quirks in hockey arenas both pro and college we liked or didn't. What makes a great cozy "barn" to play hockey in? What about the old egg shaped corners at the old Chicago Stadium et al.
Matthews Arena
OK, as for the quirks part of the topic. The game went to overtime last night tied 0-0. As the teams were getting ready for overtime we saw something we'd never seen before and fancy we never see it again. Before OT every guy in the upper deck at each end took off his shirt (the upper decks at both ends it should be noted stand the entire game). Couldn't believe our eyes. Another of those odd hockey traditions I suppose.

Although he was born in Tiffin and raised in Green Springs and Clyde, the story of Rodger Young still is largely unknown. This summer marks the 70th anniversary of the local man who posthumously was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for saving the lives of his comrades during World War II.
"My grandfather was one of the men he saved," said Sgt. Joshua Mann, historian with the Ohio National Guard. "Had it not been for what Rodger did, I would not be here talking to you.
"I was born in Tiffin and grew up in Fostoria, so there's a lot of personal connections," he said.
Article Photos
A portrait of Rodger Young.
Young is buried on New Georgia Island in the South Pacific in 1943.
Young's casket arrives at the Green Springs railroad station in July 1949, six years after his death.
Mann also served in the same regiment as Young did during the first years he was in the Guard.
Now as National Guard historian, Mann said he helps people remember the Guard of the past, which first was known as the Ohio militia.
"The Guard is 225 years old in July, so anything that has to do with Ohio National Guard is history," he said.
Fact Box
Memorialized in song
Rodger Young is remembered in a song, "The Ballad of Rodger Young," by Frank Loesser. It has been sung and recorded by such artists as Burl Ives, Nelson Eddy and the West Point Glee Club.
Oh, they've got no time for glory in the Infantry.
Oh, they've got no use for praises loudly sung,
But in every soldier's heart in all the Infantry
Shines the name, shines the name of Rodger Young.
Shines the name - Rodger Young,
Fought and died for the men he marched among.
To the everlasting glory of the Infantry
Lives the story of Private Rodger Young.
Caught in ambush lay a company of riflemen -
Just grenades against machine guns in the gloom -
Caught in ambush till this one of twenty riflemen
Volunteered, volunteered to meet his doom.
Volunteered - Rodger Young,
Fought and died for the men he marched among.
In the everlasting annals of the Infantry
Glows the last deed of Private Rodger Young.
It was he who drew the fire of the enemy
That a company of men might live to fight;
And before the deadly fire of the enemy
Stood the man, stood the man we hail tonight.
Stood the man - Rodger Young,
Fought and died for the men he marched among.
Like the everlasting courage of the Infantry
Was the last deed of Private Rodger Young.
On the island of New Georgia in the Solomons,
Stands a simple wooden cross alone to tell
That beneath the silent coral of the Solomons,
Sleeps a man, sleeps a man remembered well.
Sleeps a man - Rodger Young,
Fought and died for the men he marched among.
In the everlasting spirit of the Infantry
Breathes the spirit of Private Rodger Young.
No, they've got no time for glory in the Infantry,
No, they've got no use for praises loudly sung,
But in every soldier's heart in all the Infantry
Shines the name, shines the name of Rodger Young.
Shines the name - Rodger Young,
Fought and died for the men he marched among.
To the everlasting glory of the Infantry
Lives the story of Private Rodger Young.
This story of Rodger Young was compiled from several sources.
Rodger Wilton Young - known by the nickname "Buzz" - was born in Tiffin April 28, 1918, and grew up in Green Springs in the family of Nicholas Young.
He hunted as a boy and had an avid interest in sports. Despite his small size (5 feet, 2 inches tall as an adult), he was an enthusiastic part of the football and basketball teams.
During a basketball game in his early high school years, Rodger was fouled and fell hard onto the court, hitting his head and knocking him unconscious. Although he recovered, the fall led to a gradual loss of hearing and eyesight.
He dropped out of high school in his sophomore year because he couldn't hear the teacher well and had difficulty seeing lessons on the blackboard.
At 20, Young joined the Ohio National Guard and was posted to Company "B" of the 148th Infantry Regiment, attached to the 37th Infantry Division. In his first years, Young attained the rank of sergeant.
In 1940, when Young joined the National Guard, Mann said the system was different than it is today.
"Most definitely," he said. "When Rodger joined in 1940, the Guard was still kind of ... I don't really want to use this word ... but it really was still kind of a club, somewhat. It was definitely a military thing, but it was a fraternal thing, as well."
During the Depression, he said joining the National Guard often was a way for men to make extra money.
"It was a military group, but armories were a place for guys to hang out and play cards or play pool," he said. "A lot of armories were built in the center of town and they were community centers."
Comparatively, Mann said there's more focus today on being ready when called.
"Now, we have guys who drive three or four hours to get to drill," he said. "We are better equipped and trained today. We can answer a call quicker.
"Back then it was expected they we're going to need time to get trained if they were called."
Mann's grandfather and Young were part of the group activated in October 1940 to prepare to take part in World War II.
A corporal at the time, Young was a small arms instructor and trained recruits. After he was promoted to sergeant, he served as a squad leader.
In 1942, when Japan entered the war, the 148th was deployed to Fiji and then to the Solomon Islands. By then, Young's hearing and eyesight had gotten worse. He was afraid the losses might affect his ability to command his troops and put his squad at risk.
So, Young requested his rank be reduced to private.
A medical examination found him to be almost deaf, and it was recommended he go to a field hospital. But Young requested to be allowed to remain with his unit, and he returned to the rank of private in the same unit.
About a week later, he died protecting his men.
He was part of a 20-man patrol that was ambushed and pinned down by intense gunfire from Japanese machine guns hidden on high ground near Munda airstrip. Several men had been killed and some injured during initial gunfire. Young was one who had been injured.
The commander gave an order to withdraw, but Young either didn't hear the order or chose not to hear it. Although nobody knows for sure, it is widely thought Young ignored the order and began creeping on his stomach toward the machine gun nest about 75 yards away because he knew it would have to be destroyed if the platoon was to escape.
Another burst from the machine gun wounded him again, but also showed him where it was located. He continued to creep forward, drawing enemy fire and answering with his own rifle fire.
By drawing fire to himself, he helped the rest of the platoon escape.
When he was close enough to the machine guns, he began throwing hand grenades at them. While throwing the grenades, he was killed, but he enabled his platoon to withdraw without more lives lost.
His body later was recovered and initially buried by his men.
Rodger Young died July 31, 1943, at age 25.
"He was just doing his job," Mann said. "They had been surrounded for a few days and he saw the machine gun nest. I'm sure he wasn't thinking about the Medal of Honor when he was doing it."
One aspect of Young's story that impresses Mann is the reduction in rank Young requested.
"This guy Rodger was afraid because of his hearing and vision deteriorating," he said. "He asked to turn in his stripes. ... He volunteered to give those up, then he turns around and gives up his life.
"Especially as a soldier, you have to wonder if you would have the courage to do what he did."
In January 1944, his family was presented with a Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery and selflessness in giving his life to save his platoon. And in 1949, his remains were returned to Clyde for burial in McPherson Cemetery.
"In the cemetery he's buried at in Clyde, there's three Medal of Honor recipients in that one little town in northwest Ohio," Mann said.
Mann said he grew up knowing the Rodger Young story because of his personal connection.
"I kind of always knew," he said. "I heard my grandfather talk about it."
He said he regrets not having started learning more about the story until after his grandfather died.
"Pops was one of the last guys from Company B," he said. "He was 93 when he passed away."
As a further testament to Rodger's memory, Mann said towns "fight over" him.
"They all try to claim Rodger as their own," he said. "But there are still a lot of people who don't know about him."

Buckhannon smoking ban effective today; smokers upset
May 4, 2013
Buckhannon Mayor Kenneth Davidson said he would request that city police officers not enforce the recently passed smoking ban during the West Virginia Strawberry Festival after four citizens aired......
Even though e-cig smoking looks like traditional tobacco smoking it is not...there is not smoke or tar. Can we please stop lumping e-cigs in the same category as tobacco products. I understand in public in can confuse people because it looks so similar but it is not even close to being the same thing.

Mayor is already attempting to undo his STUPIDITY. THIS is going to cost Buckhannon a ton of money as we smokers will NOT shop in the city NOR pay to use their parks/recreation facilities anymore for family reunions. I've already made other arrangemnts this summer for other places OUTSIDE Buckhannon, so there's rental $$$ lost just from MY family alone. And that is rentals for SEVERAL times per year! I suspect you add up all other smokers and it won't take long for the STUPID mayor to make another CHANGE.

Hmm, let me see if I can get my head around this issue. The question that begs an answer is, and I'll limit this to those that reside within the corporate limits, are not smokers taxpayers too? And smokers that reside within the corporate limits pay a higher tax rate as do non-smokers, just for the "priviledge" of living within those corporate limits? Yet city fathers and mothers are restricting one segement of residents (smokers) rights while bolstering another (non-smokers) segement? And, as to "festival" areas, I would be more concerned about the pollutants contained in diesel smoke from the carnival rides, diesel fire trucks, diesel farm tractors and methane from horse manure on Main Street than I would cigrettee smoke. And all because the FRN director asked council to stop smoking in the city parks and recreation centers.

The seemingly simple verbs set, make and put vie with each other for the longest entries - over 60,000 words each to describe all of the uses and senses!
The current editor of the OED, as it is commonly known, is set to retire later this year. John Simpson was briefly interviewed on Morning Edition on NPR yesterday. What makes his position newsworthy is that he is only the seventh editor of the dictionary since the project's beginning in 1879 and has been working in this high profile position of the world's most famous dictionary for more than 35 years.
In addition to some specialized copies of the Oxford dictionaries for foreign languages and picture dictionaries, MCPL owns a compact version of the Oxford English Dictionary. The print is so tiny, you need a zoom text reading machine (which MCPL also owns!) to really read any parts of this mammoth book.
Not that we are advocating sitting down and reading the Oxford English Dictionary. And somebody already beat you to it anyway. Ammon Shea recorded his experiences in Reading the OED: One Man, One Year, 21,730 Pages. This short and often funny nonfiction book is for word lovers like Shea and those interested in rare books, lexicography, etymology, and the joys of discovering a new word.
Learning the history of the OED isn't dull and boring either, especially when it involves a convicted murderer locked away in an insane asylum. Well known nonfiction author Simon Winchester wrote two books about the history of the dictionary, The Professor and the Madman and the Meaning of Everything. Both books are compelling and insightful and are great suggestions for the curious, the fans of oddball history, and the secretive logophiles in your life.

At its E3 keynote in June, Microsoft talked up a range of games that will work with the Xbox Kinect motion-sensing gaming system, which is now on sale.
With these titles, promises Microsoft, "your living room will become a zoo, a stadium, a fitness room or a dance club."
Where the Kinect games have been reviewed by our colleagues on CVG, GamesRadar.com and Official Xbox Magazine we've included their scores below.
On 16 September, Microsoft announced a further five Kinect games, with a less casual slant. These five games are:
codename D (Grasshopper Manufacture, Microsoft Game Studios)
From the makers of killer7 and the No More Heroes series. You must fight to survive an amusement park filled with twisted and eerie creatures.
Project Draco (Grounding, Microsoft Game Studios)
The director of Phantom Dust and Panzer Dragoon releases a 3D flying shooter. Use Kinect to control your dragon and train it as a partner in combat.
Haunt (NanaOn-Sha, Microsoft Game Studios)
Dodge traps and outwit ghosts in a haunted house.
Steel Battalion Heavy Armor (Capcom, From Software)
This all-new game revives the Steel Battalion series. Set in Manhattan, 2082, where computers and almost all modern technology have been lost, the American army lands in New York to begin its first big offensive of a ground war.
Rise of Nightmares (SEGA)
Rise of Nightmares is a horror game promises to use the new controls of Kinect for Xbox 360 "to give players the ultimate fright."
Here are the Xbox Kinect games that were announced at E3.
Star Wars
Microsoft and LucasArts announced that they will bring Star Wars to Kinect in 2011.
EA Sports Active 2
EA has confirmed that its forthcoming EA Sports Active 2 title will be fully compatible with Microsoft's Kinect motion controller for the Xbox 360.
Like Tamagotchi for the Xbox generation, Kinectimals lets you adopt animals such as a tiger cub. Your Kinectimal will come running when they hear your voice, respond to commands like "jump," "roll-over" and "play dead," and purr when you scratch them behind the ears.

Junior Sasha Sims scored 20 points including the 1000th point of her career, but visiting Florida Gulf Coast defeated Stetson 72-55 Saturday afternoon in an Atlantic Sun Conference game at the Edmunds Center.
The loss snapped Stetson's 16-game home court winning streak, and the Hatters (19-8, 12-4 A-Sun) suffered just their first home loss of the year. The Eagles (23-5, 16-0) remained undefeated in A-Sun play.
Victoria McGowan added 10 points, five rebounds, and three steals for Stetson.
Unlike when the same teams met in Fort Myers last month and rebounding proved to be the difference in the game, the key statistic in Saturday's match-up was inside points. The Eagles generated several lay-up opportunites throughout the contest and finished with a 40-22 advantage in points in the paint.
"I've talked all year about how heavily we rely on points in the paint, and so do they," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said, referring to FGCU. "I don't deny that they shoot the three well, but at the end of the day they want a lay-up.
"I thought we did a very good job rebounding, I thought our effort was good, but I didn't think our execution was very good, and that is my job and it is my fault," Bria added. "It is correctable, but I think the points in the paint was the key stat. (FGCU) executed very well."
Sims was 7-for-11 from the floor while adding five rebounds, a block and two steals to her 20-point performance. Her 1000th point came on a lay-up midway through the second half, bringing a roar from the 1345 in attendance.
"That might be the best game I ever saw Sasha play on both ends of the floor," Bria said. "She gave everything she had, she played great and she just did everything for us both offensively and defensively. She executed on a real high level and I was really proud of her."
The Eagles jumped out to an early 12-3 lead, but the Hatters answered back on a 17-3 run to take a 20-16 lead at the 7:53 mark. FGCU regained the lead with a 12-0 run of its own, but Jama Sharp's three-pointer with 2:41 to go in the first half tied the score at 28.
"I thought Jama was great as well, I really liked her tempo," Bria said. "(Sharp and Sims) were our two most aggressive players."
The Eagles led by five at halftime and outscored Stetson 37-25 in the second half. Sarah Hansen led FGCU with 27 points.
"I know we have to beat Kennesaw on Thursday, that's our most important game now," Bria said when asked if she was hoping for a third meeting with FGCU in the postseason. "We have to play well on Thursday and we have to finish up well at home. The next two games are real important to us and hopefully we can build some momentum going into the conference tournament."
Stetson's quest for three-straight 20-win seasons must wait until Thursday night when the Hatters host Kennesaw State at 5 p.m.
Notes: Sims became the 20th player in school history to score 1000 career points ... The Hatters are 28-2 in their last 30 home games, with both losses coming at the hands of FGCU ... The Hatters' 16-game win streak ranked as the seventh-longest active home court win streak in the nation (as of Saturday).

12 Things to Watch in Saturday's Colts-Patriots Game
Luck is not left handed!
Last week, the Colts shocked everyone by winning a game they were supposed to win, albeit in a way no one expected them to do it. This week, the playoffs continue as they travel to Foxboro, MA, to take on the New England Patriots. Here's what to watch for…
1. Watch the choice. The Patriots have the 27th-ranked run defense by DVOA. Throw in bad weather, a legendary opponent and underdog status, and it's all right there for Chuck Pagano. Does he stick with the no-huddle passing offense, or does he try and return to his roots. The Colts lack the ability to take full advantage of the Pats on the ground. Every carry given to Trent Richardson is a waste, and I'm not sure the most effective use of Brown is to pound him into the line 25 times. In other words, if the Colts are going to win, it's going to be with what got them this far in the first place. Pagano has to make a choice between what he knows works and what he believes works.
2. Watch the second option. The biggest thing holding the Colts back is the lack of a true second receiver. The Pats have been weak against number twos all season. They aren't great against number ones, but a lack of depth is glaring in the secondary now. Aquib Talib has been particularly brutal in the second-half of the season. Fans who wanted LaVon Brazill cut because of his off-season indiscretions should be mighty happy he's still on the roster. He has a chance to be the X-factor in this game. If the Colts can get him going, there are points to be scored on this defense.
3. Watch for the old Tom Brady. Remember when we used to call Brady a "game manager" and a "system quarterback"? Remember when it used to seem like he wasn't that good, but the Pats just kept winning? It's been a long time since we've seen that Brady, but 2013 Brady is basically the same guy as 2003 Brady. In '03, he completed 60.2% of his passes for 23 TD, 12 picks, a YPA of 6.9 and a passer rating of 85.9. This year? 60.5%, 25 TD, 11 INT, 6.9 YPA, 87.3 rating. Now, he did throw 100 more times than in 2003, but in most respects his game has regressed to where it was when he was a good quarterback with a great defense. Granted, that Tom Brady won three Super Bowl rings, but he doesn't have the defense to do it this time.
4. Watch for the excuses. "But…" says the Pats fan, "who does he have to throw to?" It's a fair but irrelevant question. I will grant you that Julian Edleman is the not the ideal number wide receiver for an NFL team. First of all, he misses all of the OTAs because he has to be in England to film episodes of Downton Abbey. For those that didn't see Season Four yet, he plays Mr. Migglesworth the fancy village smithy who struggles with the changing times and his "complicated" relationship with Thomas, the gay footman. Obviously, that makes it difficult for him to build chemistry with Brady. He also fumbled six times this year, but is one of America's finest actors, so we'll give him a pass.
5. Watch the false comparisons. Luck is going into to New England for a playoff game, and he just might be on the winning side. If it happens, people will inevitably talk about how Peyton fared there. They'll put stats up side by side. Don't buy into it. The Patriots Manning played were among the greatest defenses to ever take the field. He played them in 2003 and 2004, in the middle of three Super Bowls in four years. They were ranked second and seventh by DVOA those years. This Pats team is ranked 21st. The old grey mare and what not. The old Brady-Manning games were slugfests and Manning had to play one handed with out a defense. This game is about offenses, and statistically Luck has the better defense on his side. Beating the Pats would be a huge accomplishment for Luck, but it would be nowhere near as amazing as beating the early-2000s Pats in New England would have been.
6. Watch for left-handed play. Belichick will take something away from Luck and force him to play without it. We can only assume that something is T.Y. Hilton, because honestly, what else is there worth taking? The onus is on Pep Hamilton to find ways to get Hilton free, but in the mean time, Coby Fleener and Donald Brown will have to make plays. Hilton could put up another 100-yard game, but I wouldn't count on it.
7. Watch the run. So now it has finally come down to it. Stopping the run matters. No one is scared of a running back who gained less than 800 yards, but I think everyone would freak over facing one that ran for over 1,500 with 14 touchdowns. Stevan Ridley and LeGarrette Blount combined for 331 carries and some gaudy numbers despite the fact that neither one of them hit 180 carries on the season. If there is a bright spot, they fumbled seven times between them.
8. Watch for nothing to say about that. Indianapolis has a defense. It is a statistically average defense. It gave up 44 points to Alex Smith last week, marking the third time it has surrendered 40+ points in a game this season. All told, the Indy D has allowed at least 28 points six times. It has allowed two touchdowns or less six times, including twice against playoff-caliber opponents. Sometimes it's awesome. Sometimes it's terrible. Honestly, I'm out of explanations. All I can say with certainty about the Colts is that they have a unit that is labeled defense, and that said unit plays in games.
9. Watch for the defining moment. Andrew Luck's heroics against Kansas City started the clock. There's a hype clock around every hot young quarterback. Luck's has been ticking at a normal rate to this point, but there comes a moment when the hands start spinning faster. Ask Peyton Manning. Ask Matt Ryan. It's already moving pretty fast for Colin Kaepernick. The hype determines how soon a young passer has before everyone turns on him. The modern sports media requires a linear progression that continue unabated to a championship. If a guy deviates from the preordained path, it's only because of some internal deficiency. Luck won his first playoff game. He now has two years to win a Super Bowl before they start to grumble about him. If he beats the Patriots on the road, however, he'll grind that clock down to a half. Skipping scenes in the media script buys players time. If Luck takes the Colts to the AFC Championship game as a second-year player, it probably says more about the state of the AFC than anything, but it will define him as a "winner" for the next four years. If the Colts lose, that clock just keeps right on ticking.
10. Watch the bait. I worry about Da'Rick Rogers role in this game. Belichick has seen the tape. He knows Rogers can't run clean routes. I suspect he has his corners prepped to undercut his routes and force turnovers. Yes, Rogers can take any play to the house, but a smart DB can turn him into a liability. Every time he runs a route, I fear it's an interception waiting to happen. Luck has to be sure Rogers is wide open before going his way.
11. Watch for the wire. New England has played 11 games decided by seven points or less. They blew out the Bills, Ravens, Steelers and Bucs. Weirdly enough, until the Chiefs win, Indy hadn't really played a close game in the previous month. The second-half of the season featured a couple of tight wins over the Titans, but most weeks were blowouts one way or the other. There are the "good Colts" and the "bad Colts", and save a couple of comebacks, we know pretty early which one we are getting. The Pats though? They aren't going to run over anyone. This game will be close.
12. Watch for waffles. I can't make a call on this game. Every time I get asked to pick it, the spread gets tighter. I think I picked the Pats by six yesterday. I recognize that's still the most likely thing to happen, and if you put a gun to my head, I'd say Pats by four. Still, right now there's no gun to my head, just a disaffected hound dog laying by chair. Given the lack of bodily harm due me for taking the Colts, I'm going to. Colts 24 Patriots 21

I am a former smoker, and was raised by smoking parents.
I totally agree with all of you (how's THAT for being decisive?). Aph - I cannot agree with you more about what people allow in privately-owned buildings. If I own a bar and allow smoking, isn't that a business decision? I will no doubt lose my anti-smoking customers. Nell, et. al., no one has ever argued the health benefits of smoking. No one who smokes should do it around those who wish to be free from it. Hence it should not be allowed in PUBLICLY OWNED buildings.
As for taxes, I see nothing wrong with taxing tobacco to recoup the health care costs, but at the same time, I agree that other peddlers of unhealthy "merchandise" should also pay a higher tax for the same purpose. Watch "Supersize Me" if you haven't already. And while I like to drink my beer, I will not get behind the wheel after doing so.
You all make very good points, and none of you are totally wrong - or totally right.

Splügen was for many centuries a hub of pack mule traffic across the Alps. For over 2,000 years, the Splügen Pass was the main link between Graubünden and Italy, while the mule track over the San Bernardino also played a significant role.
The southward route from Thusis through the Viamala Gorge was considered particularly arduous. Cliffs up to 300 metres high form the valley cutting of this formidable gorge, in places just a few metres wide. Descending the 321 steps will give you a good idea of its scale. Built in 1739, the bridge almost 70 metres above the Hinterrhein is also an impressive sight.
Summer time is the time for walking. Over 100km of marked hiking trails lead through the valley to secluded mountain lakes and over historical crossing points to neighbouring villages. The viaSpluga Cultural and Long Distance Footpath leads from the village of Splügen over the Splügen Pass and on into the small Italian town of Chiavenna.
The sunny ski area of Splügen-Tambo at the foot of the majestic Pizzo Tambo on the Italian border is a focal point of attraction in winter. Cross-country fans will enjoy the 40km of snow-covered ski-runs alongside the young Hinterrhein and winter walkers can choose from over 20 km of the best prepared paths between Sufers and Hinterrhein.
While the very biggest winter sport areas are not to be found in Viamala, this region is quite an experience and visitors will greatly enjoy the immense freedom and real winter sport fun of its six skiing and snowboarding areas, with very well groomed slopes, sledge runs, winter hiking trails and idyllic cross-country ski tracks, as well as wonderful natural ice rinks in picturesque villages and in front of magnificent mountain panoramas.
