It's not a man's world - not any moreMarch 10,2013I get a chill whenever I listen to James Brown soulfully sing Its a Mans Mans Mans World.
I especially like to shout you got that right when he says, but it wouldnt be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl.
Those lyrics come to mind as we celebrate Womens History Month. Its not a mans world any more.
March 3 marked 100 years since thousands of women marched down Pennsylvania Avenue demanding the right to vote. They were taunted and pushed but they pressed on.
So too have women pressed their way into jobs in the private and public sector. The pay for many still isnt quite equal to that of men, but its getting close.
Up to 1 billion women around the world are expected to enter the workforce over the next decade, according to management consulting firm Booz & Company.
This is such an incredible, unprecedented time to be a woman in business, says Emily Bennington, a career consultant. Never before has our style of leadership been so needed, and never before have our choices been so vast and our opportunities so great.
Despite the gains, success in the workplace or moving up the corporate ladder into executive positions is elusive for so many women. It can be frustrating and excruciating, like stuffing your feet into pointy-toe stilettos.
But it can get easier with some guidance, Bennington writes in Who Says Its A Mans World: The Girls Guide to Corporate Domination. It is the Color of Money Book Club selection for March.
What I like most about Benningtons book is the focus on self first. You must be a magnificent woman first to have a magnificent career, she writes.
Dont cringe. Stay with Bennington on this point. Its not psychobabble or girly, touchy-feely stuff that some men and some women might scoff at. Through a series of exercises, coaching and cheerleading, she helps you reach a point where you can overcome the attitudes and behaviors that hold you back.
As she writes, corporate domination isnt about kicking the door down as so many of have been (mis)led to believe. ... Its about melting it down one thought, one interaction, and one person at a time. ... Business is a game about people - like everything else in life - it all starts with you.
To get ahead, you have to cut the crap her words, not mine. Yes, there are bumbling sexist bosses and scheming co-workers who may stand in your way. But often the roadblock to success is you.
Thus her focus is on getting you to be honest with yourself about the things you do to derail your career.
The three biggest career-killers are negative attitudes, holding grudges and worrying too much, Bennington says, calling those behaviors muddy career sludge.
Then there are the busy people who get success but at a high price. They over-schedule and over-exert themselves. If thats you, youve got to slow down. Take on less. Get rid of some things (hey, Im preaching to myself here).
And of course, what would a career-coaching book be without the ubiquitous mommy guilt chapter?
But rein in the guilt, Bennington says.
There will be times when you have to leave work to deal with your kids and times when you have to leave kids to deal with your work, she writes. There is guilt in both, but you will save yourself a lot of heartache if you decide up front that having it all doesnt mean being it all.
To help on this front, she offers some good simple get-rid-of the guilt advice such as a list of must-have tradeoffs for working moms. One of my favorites: Unapologetically guard your calendar. Its often a bellwether of your happiness.
I most like the counterintuitive advice she gives about setting goals. Dont measure yourself by checked boxes, she says. Set goals but dont be ruled by them or crushed if you dont reach them.
In the end, Bennington offers these six words for success. Who. You. Are. Has. No. Ceiling.
Ill host a live online discussion about Who Says Its A Mans World at noon March 28 at www.washingtonpost.com/discussions. Every month, I randomly select readers to receive a copy of the featured book, which is donated by the publisher.

Find Milano industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & Milano shops. Locate a Milano warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
As companies grow they must either relocate and sometimes extend their existing lease, and as information technology advances, they inescapably have to deal with landlords with far more experience with commercial properties. The absence of defining the lease requirements at an early stage can lead to confusion and time delays. Employing an experienced Milano broker will ensure business owners being made aware of all the areas available in a local market and remove much of the unnecessary issues.

Publisher's Description
Author Bio
Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867. She began writing, at sixty-five, a series of eight children's books about her life in the pioneer west. These books were later turned into a world-reknowned TV series, Little House on the Prairie. We all came to know and love Laura and her family through these books and the TV series (now in syndicated reruns). She died in 1957.Stephen Hines has published both fiction and poetry but is best known as a "literary prospector" who has brought back forgotten works by famous children's author Laura Ingalls Wilder, and works by Louisa May Alcott, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. His researches have taken him from the Herbert Hoover Library in West Branch, Iowa, to correspondence with British researchers dealing with the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the United Kingdom. More than half a million copies of books he has collected and edited are in print, and he has had three bestsellers: Little House in the Ozarks, "I Remember Laura", and The Quiet Little Woman. He continues to write fiction and poetry and has been a newspaper humor columnist for seven years.

Episode Description
New target on cancer
Posted In: Health, Science
Theranostics will use micro-ray technology to pinpoint proteins in individual cancer patients to help doctors decide what drugs will be most effective — an innovation borne of a joint effort from the non- and for-profit worlds.
Posted In: Crime, Science, Wall Street
The Supreme Court takes up a case today that could have big implications on Wall Street. Investment banks are accused of conspiring to inflate IPO prices during the '90s dot-com boom and subsequent bust. And a whole lotta money hangs in the balance.
Nuclear power redux
Washington is offering billions in incentives to get utility companies to build a new wave of nuclear reactors to meet growing energy demands. The companies are lining up for the subsidies, but investors and consumers are weary.
Rainy day for missile defense
Posted In: Washington
A House subcommittee meets today to consider the Pentagon's $10 billon request for the next phase of our missile defense system. That includes a sizeable chunk to repair seven missile silos ruined by rain last year.
Britain's housing still booming
Posted In: Canada, Housing
As some economists worry that U.S. housing troubles could trigger a full-scale global financial crisis, Britain's home builders are still enjoying a robust market. And now two of the biggest are joining forces.
A new deal for free trade
Posted In: Canada, Washington
Democrats are unveiling an initiative today that would force the U.S. to include worker protections in future trade deals — a move that could sink some of the White House's free trade aspirations in Latin America.
Good outlook for Vista sales
Posted In: Science
Turns out early forecasts calling for lackluster sales of Vista may have been off. Microsoft has released the first sales figures for its new operating system and they're not too shabby.
Biogenerics on the slow road to market
Posted In: Health, Science, Washington
Biologics are among the most expensive drugs in the world — in part because the government has never cleared a path to allow generic drugmakers to compete. That could soon change, but there are safety roadblocks ahead.

Stockholm, August 27, 2012 Reed Elsevier, a world leading provider of professional information solutions, today announced the winners of the Reed Elsevier Environmental Challenge which awards innovative solutions to improve sustainable access to safe water and sanitation. The $50,000 first and $25,000 second prize winners were awarded during the annual World Water Week in Stockholm which convenes water researchers, policymakers, journalists, companies and nonprofits addressing the key water challenges of the 21st century.
The winner of the $50,000 first prize is the "Iron-amended Biosand Water Filter in Nepal" developed by Tommy Ngai, Director, Research Learning at the Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology (CAWST). Ngai's project modifies conventional Biosand Filters with iron particles to remove all three classes of water contaminants, including viruses, and bring safe drinking water to two impoverished rural villages in Nepal. Over a period of two years 150 filters will be installed, and CAWST will update its educational material and hold workshops to promote the technology. The project will target over 1,000 people in the two villages and has the potential to be scaled to help millions over the next 10 years.
Tommy Ngai, Director of Research Learning, CAWST, said: "CAWST is very pleased that Reed Elsevier recognizes the treatment of water in the home as one of the proven options to provide safe drinking water for Nepal, especially in rural villages. The Biosand filter has great potential to become widely and sustainably used for improving water quality to reduce waterborne disease and death."
The $25,000 second prize was awarded to "Sustainable Sanitation in Urban Slums of Africa" developed by Lindsay Stradley of Sanergy. The project will expand a pilot project in Nairobi to ensure that hygienic sanitation becomes accessible and affordable through a network of small-scale, high-quality sanitation centres close to

Looking to be the successor to the Pantech Breakout, it seems that a little phone called the Pantech Star Q will be headed to Verizon. This sliding, QWERTY-packing device is decidedly a budget phone, expected to ring in at just $99 on contract, but it includes a mixed bag of low-end and surprisingly appealing specs, including Android 4.0.4, a Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, a front-facing camera (of indeterminate resolution), a 3MP rear shooter, a 4" WVGA display, and of course a sliding QWERTY keyboard.
|Liam Spradlin
|Liam loves Android, design, user experience, and travel. He doesn't love ill-proportioned letter forms, advertisements made entirely of stock photography, and writing biographical snippets.
Rounding out the list of budget Android handsets for which details emerged overnight, it looks like Samsung will be releasing the Droid Charge look-alike Galaxy S Lightray 4G to MetroPCS in mid-August.
The Galaxy S Lightray is not your average budget device, though – besides a 4.3" Super AMOLED Plus display (carrying an unknown resolution), 8MP rear camera (with flash), 4G LTE connectivity and (maybe) a 1.3GHz single-core processor, this phone appears to be packing a TV antenna for "Mobile TV" (evidently powered by Dyle TV).
Sprint customers using Samsung's Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy SIII should expect an OTA update to roll in any time now, bringing some enhancements and fixes that – while not entirely exciting – are worth picking up.
The Galaxy SIII update brings the device's software up to L710VPLG8, and includes a handful of improvements, including enhancements to Samsung's Smart Stay feature, voice recognition, and the addition of All-Share Cast support.
The Galaxy Nexus, meanwhile, will be bumped up to IMM76K.L700FG01.
Long after releasing the kernel source for other variants of the One X (as well as the US One S and EVO LTE), HTC has finally released the source for AT&T's variant.
Users may recall that the AT&T-connected One X was left out of the initial kernel source code drop just after HTC delivered a somewhat disheartening statement to the Verge indicating that the device was not eligible to participate in the Taiwanese manufacturer's bootloader unlocking program due to unspecified "restrictions," which many users read as "AT&T says no."
While it appears that the AT&T-connected One X still isn't compatible with HTC's bootloader unlocking tool (and may never be), the release of its kernel source code is still positive news for tweakers, tinkerers, and developers alike.
The Nexus Q, unveiled at this year's I/O conference to a somewhat unsure audience, is a device that looks to unify your living room's media experience, allowing the streaming of all your Play Store content to connected speakers and TVs, while also allowing for remote control from your (or your friends') Android devices.
One of the Nexus Q's main claims to fame is that it allows anyone in the room to connect and share Play Store content quickly and easily.
We've already seen official Olympics 2012 streaming apps for both the UK and the US, promising great mobile coverage of this year's games, but Bell Media recently introduced another solution, this time for Canadian Android users looking to stay up to date on the action in London.
CTV Olympics London 2012's main feature is, of course, live streaming video of the games, but the app also offers several other features that will keep users entertained and tuned in.
If you've been waiting for a sale to grab a new Android-powered phone, RadioShack is looking to give you the chance to get just about any phone you could want for $50 off. Customers buying a device for upgrade or new two-year agreement can save $50 when they spend $99.99 or more. The deal will run from now until Saturday, July 28th in stores, and until "the end of August" in RadioShack's online store.
After owners of the Nexus S i9023 and i9020T got an official 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OTA last night, the update has become available for the Nexus S' i9020A variant as well.
Just like before, the update can be downloaded straight from Google's servers, though Google has indicated that the OTA should be rolling out to Nexus S phones on "a number of carriers," meaning the wait for an automatic update prompt shouldn't be long.
UPDATE: Many readers are reporting that the Nexus 7 is now on backorder from OfficeMax and that the coupon may not work any more. That being said, the website still indicates that the tablet will ship in 1 to 3 days. Let us know if you have any luck getting the discount.
There's no doubt that Google's Nexus 7 has been exceedingly hard to find since its launch. From nebulous shipping schedules to stock problems at brick and mortar stores, customers everywhere have had a hard time getting their hands on the device.
Good news for Nexus S owners – your OTA update to 4.1.1 Jelly Bean is ready and at least one user has reported it rolling out to his i9023 already.
The 114MB update, which brings the Nexus S' build up to JRO03E, is also available to download directly from Google's server for users with either the i9023 or i9020T hardware variants. For those wondering, this update shouldn't wipe data during installation.

Check Out The Largest Caliber Rifle In The World
If you like your bang sticks, try this .905 caliber rifle, sold as the largest caliber rifle in the world. It has a kick so strong that it simply cannot be fired off-handed and must be bench fired.
The big iron was made by Ohio-based SSK Industries and packs a wallop both on the range and in the wallet.
(Also of interest: Gun Group Raises $12,000 For Zimmerman To Buy Guns & Security)
The monstrous bullet this piece fires costs about $40 a shot and is made up of 2,400 grains of lead and 240 grains of smokeless powder. When fired it flies at about 2,100 feet per second. The bullet is "25,400 foot pounds of muzzle energy and recoil is 277 foot pounds of recoil energy which is like firing ten thirty aught sixes at one time," said Dave Fricke of Millennium Manufacturing.
If you are going to fire this puppy, you'd better be ready for a shoulder bruise that'll last a few days.
(Also of interest: Gun Buyback Forced To Cancel, Thanks To Restrictive New Gun Laws)
For a little comparison, a typical sniper round weighs about 200 grains of lead, but THIS thing is made of 2,40 grains of lead!
(Also of interest: Alaska Cancels Out Gun Control Laws With New Bill)
Of course, this rifle is over kill, if you'll excuse the pun. This rifle is useless for practically everything a gun could be used for. But it isn't its utility that it was created for. It was created for the novelty of it all. This rifle can't be used in hunting or even war, granted, but firing a nearly thousand caliber gun? That is just plain fun for many.
So, what do you think? Would this be fun to fire? Tell us below.

(Rensselaer senior Lynnette Lacek and junior Colleen Lamberson, co-presidents of university's chapter of the Global Medical Brigades, wrote this guest post about their recent work in Panama.)
In January, Rensselaer's chapter of Global Medical Brigades traveled to the Darien Province in Panama to provide medical care to the indigenous Embera and Wounaan tribes. It was an amazing opportunity – for three days our small group of 21 students functioned as a mobile medical unit. We set up a small clinic in the local community center, and with the help of two doctors, one dentist, and one pharmacist, we were able to diagnose and treat 373 patients.

ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- A Brooklyn man who assisted in a major credit card fraud operation in Onondaga County has been sentenced.
Paul Hill, 24, will spend the next five years in prison and will have to pay nearly $300,000 in restitution.
Investigators say between June of 2010 and April of 2011, Hill helped Andre Greaves of Syracuse obtain counterfeit credit cards which were linked to accounts of other people. Greaves then used the cards to buy gift cards, which he would use a portion of and send the rest to Brooklyn.
Back in August, Greaves was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay the same restitution as Hill.

If the arugula has roots attached, cut them off. Fill the sink with cold water and toss the arugula for a few minutes to clean. Spin-dry the leaves and place them in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour enough dressing on the arugula to moisten. Toss well and place the salad on individual plates.
With a very sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan into large shards and arrange them on the arugula.

Semillon, Pinot Gris and Dessert Wines are the best wines to pair with Arugula with Parmesan.

This competing renewal application is to provide for the continued maintenance of and activities associated with the SWAN Repositories of serum, plasma, urine, DNA and transformed cells generated from a 10-year study of a population of 3302 women from 5 ethnic groups who have been evaluated annually prior to, during and following the menopausal transition. These Repositories, an arm of the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN), is meant to support, facilitate and extend the Core SWAN; additionally, the Repositories provide a mechanism for opening the resources of SWAN to the greater scientific community. Implementing activities associated with three proposed specific aims of this competing renewal will 1) provide for the continued management of the current 1.7 million Repository specimens and the additional specimens that will accrue as a result of fielding SWAN IV in 2009 to 2014; 2) expand the DNA Repository, the most frequently requested specimen type that is uniquely renewable because of our investment in cell immortalization; 3) promote effective information interchange about the SWAN Study, its data and the Repository resources through development of a 2-level web-based "data warehouse" ; 4) provide for continued administration of the application review process for specimen utilization and administrative management of specimen distribution including Material Transfer Agreements; 5) engage in strategies to promote utilization of specimens; and, 6) expand the scope of the genetics studies associated with the SWAN study and its Repository.

Did Hell freeze over and I missed it??
Seth B. Carpenter and Selva Demiralp, recently posted a discussion paper on the Federal Reserve Board's website, titled Money, Reserves, and the Transmission of Monetary Policy: Does the Money Multiplier Exist?
The authors note that bank reserves increased dramatically since the start of the financial crisis. Reserves are up a staggering 2,173% from $47.3bn on September 10, 2008, just before the financial crisis began, to $1.1tn now. Yet M2 is up only 11.4% since September 10, 2008, and bank loans are down $140.2bn. The textbook money multiplier model predicts that money growth and bank lending should have soared along with reserves, stimulating economic activity and boosting inflation. The Fed study concluded that "if the level of reserves is expected to have an impact on the economy, it seems unlikely that a standard multiplier story will explain the effect."
That not only repudiates the textbook money multiplier model but also raises lots of questions about the goal of the Fed's quantitative easing policies.
The Carpenter/Demiralp study quotes former Fed Vice Chairman Donald Kohn saying the following about the money multiplier in a March 24, 2010 speech: http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/kohn20100324a.htm
"The huge quantity of bank reserves that were created has been seen largely as a byproduct of the purchases that would be unlikely to have a significant independent effect on financial markets and the economy. This view is not consistent with the simple models in many textbooks or the monetarist tradition in monetary policy, which emphasizes a line of causation from reserves to the money supply to economic activity and inflation. . . . We will need to watch and study this channel carefully."
Here are more shocking revelations from the study under review: "In the absence of a multiplier, open market operations, which simply change reserve balances, do not directly affect lending behavior at the aggregate level. Put differently, if the quantity of reserves is relevant for the transmission of monetary policy, a different mechanism must be found.

Last month, astronaut Buzz Aldrin shared his vision for the colonization of Mars by 2035—a plan which, if carried out, could make him the first person to set foot on the Red Planet. Now, though, it looks like Jay Sean may beat him to the punch. On a freshly-minted single off his forthcoming senior set, the YMCMB crooner offers to take a lucky girl on a romantic sojourn to the fourth planet from the sun, just the two of them. Did I say "two?" I meant three; Rick Ross tags along on the journey, spitting about his ideal chick on the record's final verse. Neon is slated to drop in July; before that, Jay Sean will be stepping into the Booth for an exclusive interview with DJBoothTV's Jacques Morel. Additionally, watch for this cut's official visuals to debut within the week.

Karastan Rugs
We all know that handmade rugs are superior in quality than machinemade rugs and are better investments as far as resell value is concerned. However, Karastan, an American rug manufacturer has been challenging its handmade counterpart from the moment its first rug came off the loom (2:02 p.m., April 8, 1928). Karastan has become synonymous with elegance and quality. Karastan's manufacturing process was so advanced that trade magazines called its rugs "Mystery Rugs."
Karastan spirit of innovation is still going strong. In 1997, Karastan invented a unique finishing process called TeaWash™. It's a multi-step technique which transforms lusterous wool colors into a vintage patina which gives the rugs an antiqued appearance that usually comes with age. Although many rug manufacturers tried to imitate Karastan's TeaWash™ process, none was able to achieve the beauty of Karastan rugs.
Again in 2006, Karastan introduced a new genre of area rugs called Shapura which redefined traditional styling.
The Shapura Collection emulates the softened shades of vegtable-dyed which are found in authentic handmade Peshawars. Karastan was able to give these Axminister rugs, by its newely invented LusterWash technique, a visiual texture that is indistinguishable from handmade rugs. It's no wonder that Karastan rugs have become known as "Wonder Rugs of America."
See our selection of Karastan Rugs.

Well its possible, maybe, that this John was our John b abt 1823, Ireland. But he would have been an adult when he came with his parents. Its not clear when our John married our Maggie (Margaret) but before the birth of their eldest in abt 1853 (William, my gg grandfather) in Syracuse, Onondaga Co., NY. They may have landed in Brooklyn and then went up state by 1853. He did not apply for natturalization until 1856 in Onondaga Co.

Nov 30, 2011At first I thought that some of the tracks were filler tracks, but after multiple listens I've decided it is only because certain other songs are so strong on the album. While there are songs that people will undoubtedly pick out of the album to listen to more than others, a straight through listen of the album is exceptionally pleasing. There are never songs that distract from the overall experience other than to "wow" you. The lead singer has grown tremendously since Hold On Now, Youngster. While he used to have a much brighter sound, his vocals have matured and darkened as have his lyrics. I loved the first album but because of how bright it was, I could only take so many listens before I got a headache. It's hard to compare to the other albums as it is much different, but after multiple listens through I can safely say this is their best album yet.… Expand
Jan 8, 2012Songs about sadness over cheerful guitar beats. It takes a few listens to really get into the songs because the music not as catchy as their other albums, I guess to prevent the contrast from being too much.
Jun 18, 2012It's an impressive (but sad, as the title says) album. It starts with a bit of a hope, like something's going to work, but songs like the main titled song and Life Is A Long Time shows that nothing is good (like a misunderstood love). It's poetic, sometimes too sad, and despite of this album sounds very personal, it has wonderful tracks.
Nov 20, 2011A very solid album. I had never heard of this band before, and went into listening to this album with zero expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed the record, although it felt like some tracks were unnecessary filler. Still, a very good album.
Jan 3, 2012Mature, reflective, elegant and just that little bit haunting, but ultimately and most importantly of all, brilliant.
Dec 5, 2011It still is either very sincere or very sarcastic, or both, though these are two qualities which have always been both a justification for liking them and just as easily a reason why not, meanwhile not offering any amnesty or middle ground.

I disagree.
I would not recommend soldiers dealing with PTSD related to their deployment seek treatment at the gun range. Sorry but coming from someone who works with these guys that is highly counterproductive.
They need to be listened to, first and foremost. I don't see a lot of people giving them those opportunities, especially here. But why would they come here to be listened to when the demonization of other human beings as a cult of evil is so prevalent on liberty blogs.
We should be very careful. I have been fortunate enough to weed through ignorant people.
As for Dr. Paul's comments, the only folks that are going to make this a big deal are the same people you see when you look in a mirror. I'd rather he had not put out that tweet but he is his own person and fortunately for me I know where he is coming from by his works. Many will not. No matter how many times you try to clarify those remarks. Many will never understand. The MSM will always run with negative news until you ignore it.
I appreciate his clarification. Not all of us ever were blood thirsty monsters. Many of us are apologetic for the sins we committed. But let's take a step back and look at your own part in the puzzle. We could never fight the wars of aggression without your consent. We are all complicit in its continuation.

Apparently Eli Manning Is 'The Godfather' Of PranksJim McIsaac/Getty Images
Yesterday's Wall Street Journal contained a delightful article exposing Giants quarterback (and most eligible non-bachelor) Eli Manning as the team's resident prankster.
"Eli Manning quietly stole receiver Hakeem Nicks's cell phone," the article began, "punched a few keys and when Nicks came back to his locker, the phone's operational language had been switched to Japanese." Hicks recalled having to reach out to former Giants wide receiver Steve Smith for assistance in undoing the damage —"Eli did it to him before."
Sad souls like myself who have earned their Ph.D'Eli recognized the prank. It's one that he played on his father during the Manning Passing Academy, a summer camp for high schoolers: "As always, Archie was the foil of [the Manning brothers'] practical jokes, like the time Eli changed the language on his cell phone to Japanese."
Other times, he has opted for Romance languages. An ESPN the Magazine story written shortly after the Giants won Super Bowl XLII notes that "one of Peyton's and Eli's favorite pranks is stealing cell phones and changing the interface language to Spanish or French." "The worst part," says Jared Lorenzen, Eli's former backup, "is that you have to know Spanish to figure out how to change it back."
Lest you think Manning is a one trick pony, though, think again. A 2008 Esquire interview with Giants beat writer Ralph Vacchiano gave a more wide-angled look at Eli's artillery: "From what I can tell, most of his pranks are kind of routine — hiding car keys (or in some cases, entire cars), stealing clothing, putting Tiger Balm in underwear, itching powder in socks, purple dye in gloves or a helmet." (Eli must have a thing for purple — Alan Sepinwall wrote earlier that year that he once "replaced all his offensive lineman's shoes with purple ones.")
Eli's arsenal also includes much towel-related mischief. The Wall Street Journal article has him taking Victor Cruz's towel, soaking it in water, and hanging it back up, or spraying Travis Beckum's with liquid soap. Far more sinister was a prank he pulled on erstwhile teammate Plaxico Burress, written up in a 2007 New York Times piece: "'My towel was on my seat, and he got out of the shower and sat down on my towel with his bare bottom,' Burress said. 'Everybody started laughing, and I came over and picked the towel up. I was going to wipe my face on it and everyone said, 'Don't do that!'"
Particularly vulnerable to Eli's masterworks are his backup quarterbacks. At Ole Miss, Eli's backup quarterback and road roommate David Morris recalled putting his hand in his warmup pockets and finding "a handful of pickles," then putting on his dress shoes only to find "salami stuffed inside them." (Morris retaliated by hiding cold cuts in the pocket of Manning's football notebook.) And as Seth Wickersham wrote in ESPN the Magazine, when Andre Woodson, a rookie backup QB for the Giants, came late to the weight room one day, Eli got a towel boy to empty his locker and leave a note: "Come see me in my office. -T.C."
Eli has the cunning ability to convince others to help carry out his plans. Wickersham calls him "legendary at conceiving pranks and enlisting equipment managers to execute them," adding parenthetically that "Eli's nickname is The Godfather." Who would have thought?
There certainly are some sociopathic-seeming tendencies to Eli's evil doing. Namely: Far from seeking instant credit for his work, he seems perfectly happy to let his victims languish in psychological uncertainty. When Michael Lewis wrote a New York Times Magazine feature on Eli in 2004, he noted that when Eli's father, Archie Manning, visited Eli in college, he would often go around tidying up his apartment. "What Eli would do, just for kicks, is quietly follow his dad around the place and reverse the process. Dropping the same magazines back onto the floor, messing up the same papers, etc … his dad would clean the same magazines two or three times before finally noticing that he'd already done it." (You can't blame Cooper Manning for treading lightly whenever he's around his kid brother: "You kind of look at your toothbrush every morning and think, 'Okay, what did they do with this?'" he said in 2007.
More unsettling in their thorough commitment and long-term impact are another pair of stories, one from back in Eli's college days and the other from just after the Super Bowl. Langston Rogers, the former senior athletic director for media relations at Ole Miss, recalled that a few nights before the Heisman Trophy ceremony was to take place in New York, he "found himself standing in the bushes outside of [Manning's] hotel room in Orlando" after receiving a phone call, allegedly from the hotel's front desk clerk, that Manning was in the lobby and "appeared to be drunk" and "incoherent."
Unable to find Manning in the lobby, "I go outside, step through bushes and I'm looking through Eli's window," Rogers said. "If people saw me, they had to think I was a peeping Tom. It's a wonder I didn't get arrested. I thought he might be in the bathroom. Then I thought he might be in jail. I'm literally shaking. I kept thinking what Olivia told me a few days before. She said, 'Take care of my baby.' I didn't sleep a wink the rest of the night." (Eli turned up the next morning, of course, "bright eyed and dapper"; apparently his mother had been in on the joke. Rogers didn't learn he had been pranked for several weeks.)
NFL Films producers weren't so lucky as to learn that they'd been had. Alan Sepinwall wrote that in the Super Bowl XLII installment of the "America's Game" series, Eli was interviewed on-camera as saying "I'm not superstitious, but I am a little 'stitious. I know that's not a real word, but it's my own little saying."
While that does indeed sound like something the quarterback might say, Sepinwall explained that it was ripped from a Michael Scott line in an episode of The Office. That was lost on NFL Films producers and on narrator James Gandolfini: "later in the episode," Sepinwall wrote, "Gandolfini repeats the line with all the gravity of John Facenda referring to the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field."
Of course, Eli himself has been the victim of pranks — Plaxico Burress, upon finding his socks missing in 2005, vowed to put grapes in Eli's shoes, and in 2008, Manning's wife Abby was reportedly NOT happy when teammates got a hold of her husband's phone during family visit day and texted her "Please come, it would really mean a lot to me." (Can you imagine the look of puppyish confusion on Eli's face when she showed up?) And yesterday's Wall Street Journal piece says that during a recent walkthrough, someone taped "an alternative name … inappropriate to print" on the back of the quarterback's jersey, leading Tom Coughlin to query, "Who did this?" (I think we can all imagine the look on his face.)
But beware: the man known as "The Godfather" knows how to retaliate.
"Eli is the real notorious one," Vacchiano told Esquire. "His retribution for pranks is apparently swift and evil."
