MANCHESTER — Staying active and entertained during February vacation can be a challenge for children who aren't hitting the slopes or heading to a warmer climate this week. To help stave off boredom, City Year is holding its second annual Winter Camps for Kids from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., through Friday. More than 200 children have joined the camp, which combines physical activities and educational projects.
"We want to provide a safe, energetic atmosphere for kids to go during vacation," said Jared Field, a City Year Corps member from New Jersey who headed camp membership and recruitment this year. "We got a lot of calls from parents who said their kids went last year and how much they loved it and were looking forward to coming back this year."
This year's theme is "The Quest of the American Adventurer," which focuses on U.S. geography and history. The mission is to teach the importance of teamwork, instill community pride and show students the diversity of the country. Each day focuses on a different region of the country. On Monday, the children were learning about the West. Students at Bakersville Elementary School were on the playground running an Oregon Trail-inspired obstacle course. Inside, another group was learning about the ecology of American deserts and converting the lesson into art projects. Others were sharing tall tales of folk heroes like Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill in the library.
The Winter Camps for Kids are being held at Bakersville and Gossler Park Elementary School. The program is open to students between kindergarten and fifth grade who attend one of the schools in which City Year is involved. Field said the camp activities and curriculum were created by first-year staffers. Planning began in November and was almost entirely done after City Year staff finished their regular workday.
The focus, said Field, is on the third- through fifth-grade population, which City Year has targeted throughout the year with tutoring and drop-out prevention programs.
On Monday, third-grader Dakhila Ali was navigating a pretend "river" as part of the camp's outdoor Oregon Trail game.
"It's really fun," she said about the camp. "I like the games."
If it weren't for the camp, Ali said, she'd probably be at home watching TV and hanging out with her cousins. At the City Year camp, Ali gets to see her friends.
"It's a lot better," she said.
Fellow third-grader Cameron Elliott was also a fan of the winter camp. He met new children this week, instead of spending time at home playing video games, Elliott said.
Students are broken into teams, each headed by a City Year member. These teams start the morning together and then all gather for a meeting and physical activity. Students break off into groups, some heading outdoors for a game, others participating in more relaxed activities, said Field. Lunch is provided as well, thanks to donations from Chestnut Street Downtown Diner, Piccola Italia Ristorante, Puritan Backroom, Dos Amigos, The Farm and Panera Bread.

Welcome to our 'Under Construction' new website. You'll have noticed there are changes afoot….hopefully we'll be able soon to show you the amazing world of Rivington Foundation Primary School in its full glory!!
We are having a super term with many events , visits and fantastic work going on everywhere you look!
Our Acorns Unit is the place to be if you are 2 years old! There is always something exciting happening- and whilst having their own curriculum (linked to the EYFS) and fabulous Log Cabin, they do come and join whole school events at certain times; the next being Christingle at the start of December.
Pre-School and Reception are-as always – constantly learning and experiencing the world. Mrs Davies -our Forest Schools' Practitioner- can be seen heading into the woods with her band of explorers every week or so! Gruffalo look out! Y3&4 are enjoying the benefit of new classroom furniture in their 'top room'; this makes all the difference to accessing an even wider curriculum! Y3&4 have been into the Stone Age and back, with fantastic work all round! During this half term Y5&6 are experiencing Chorley Courts and having a visit from the Parliamentary Education team. Will our future leaders be inspired? Our School Council certainly have a talent for organising and working together ;their recent Pudsey fundraiser definitely proved this!!
Alongside all this,we have our Young Voices choir-getting ready for next February, the whole choir practising for the Preston Big Sing and our Church Carol Service; together with (it seems everyone) singing , dancing and pracitising for our end of term celebrations and events! Visits to school are welcome and can be arranged by speaking to our bursar Mrs How.
Bye for now!
Mrs Janine Carter-Clavell

Our group enjoyed our stay at Isabel's Beach House very much. The location is fantastic: Quiet, right at the beach and close to the shops. The house has a great set up and is very clean. The beds are very comfortable and there are loads of towels. The covered parking area at the back of the house was ideal for our little convertible. We are already thinking about another excuse for a trip to Ohope Beach!

Recession Deals?
- n
- novice_foodie Apr 22, 2009 12:36 PM
Has anyone started a thread about deals to be had at any of the fine dining restaurants in TO? WIth the downturn in the economy, one would think that bargains abound, but I have only come across a few:
Madeline's - Mon - Wed - $1 corkage fee
Nota Bene - no corkage fee after 9 pm
Please share your bargain finds! It's the least we can do to help the economy!
Um, deals abound in the city:
There are prix fixes almost everywhere; Zucca, Sidecar, Le Paradis, Tati, Crush Wine Bar etc, etc... usually with certain day of the week stipulations.
There is $1 corkage at Crush on Mondays.
Screw the economy, the best thing you can do is support your favourite restaurants as much as possible as I guarantee the axe will continue to fall...
re: Splendid Wine Snob
Totally agree with SWS and wish I could support my favourite restaurants more but unfortunately members of my household have felt the crunch and so we have had to cut back on dining out, although we still indulge in local take-outs like Sultan of Samosas and Olde Yorke, as well as ordering in from Bona occasionally.
re: JamieK
Yes, I too had to cut back, no special Sushi Kaji birthday for me this year :(
re: JamieK
Of course I think we are all feeling the crunch JamieK. I just want to support the people that do the important work of restoring my sanity and happiness after an exhausting day's work! What would life be without them? Sad, and certainly boring!
A friend went to Bread Bar and said that they had a prix fix menu whose cost per night was based on how the Dow or TSX closed. I am not sure exactly how it works or if it is still on but she said it was amazing (we both love the food there) and it was so much for so little money.
I think the important thing is to keep supporting your well-loved local restaurants. Isn't it worth it to have a lovely meal out once per week, and brown-bag it the rest, than to grab cheap and crappy food court offerings more often?
I noticed yesterday that Colborne Lane has a Bailout Lunch offer at $29...
I think I'll try it out on Monday.
I didn't even know that they were open for lunch!!!
Table 17 (Queen Street East in Leslieville has a 27.00, 3 course fixed price menu, BYOW - no corkage that I can tell on Sunday nights...JAM cafe on Carlton, W of Parliament also does a mid week fixed price, 19.00 I think. It used to include a glass a wine but not sure if it still does. Table 17 uses items from its standard menu (which are quite lovely) plus some "new things"
re: redhead
Jam does have a prix fixe, but I ate there recently and was not impressed by their food. It didn't have much flavour and was a bit oily.
Thanks for the replies thus far. I get the impression from one of the responses that these deals are common knowledge but I guess I don't have my ear to the ground on these things, thus my post. Can anyone name any more fine dining restaurants with deals?
Toronto Life recently reported on this lunch special at George:
The Tulip has a recession special that gets you a soup or salad, small sirloin (top sirloin or something like that but it's a substantial steak and delicious), and a slice of pie for 15.95.
re: blinknoodle
Sorry about adding the duplicate link...
here is a thread to midweek fixed price dinners: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/569607
5th Elementt
1033 Bay Street, Toronto, ON M5S 3A5, CA
re: Little T
Grace on College has 10 dollar BBQ on Thursdays. The food is actually smoked and slow cooked. The menu rotates but so far they've done chicken, pulled pork, sausages. They come with sides and a beer. That's a pretty damn good deal.
re: jamesm
I read about it in Now and was curious, I'm assuming this Thurs will be the first day.
Keep in mind, the deal is only available upstairs and after 8pm. The deal includes a domestic beer also. Obviously they're taking a loss on food/labour costs, hoping you would keep drinking.....
re: aser
here's a review:
It's been mentioned elsewhere on the board, but...
-JK at the Gardiner has a $25 Wednesday lunch special
-Scaramouche has a $58 lobster menu
both of the above are 3-courses.
re: foodfanfun
ultra lobster deal has been on and off before... went last summer and it was a fun experience but not the most filling even with a bit of an app. they cook them fine though maybe a touch more than they need to and it is messy!
Another find:
Pi-Tom (thai food)
$25 dinner
The main course is anything on their menu except for fish dishes.
re: blinknoodle
just wondering if there are recent updates to this older thread..would love to find a mid-week holiday party spot for a small group that was reasonable price wise...

Shortly after the BTBA Fiction Longlist was announced, Tara Murphy and Jesse Eckerlin from Biblioasis came up with the idea of creating a "single-sentence sampler" featuring one line from each of the 25 longlisted titles. But I'll let Jesse explain what developed:
This week's post is for those of you who are eager for a taste of each work but might not have the time or resources to track down all the longlisted titles. Plus it's also just plain fun. Open Letter's Chad Post (the man behind the magic!) and Biblioasis decided to ask the publishers and translators of each book to select a single iconic or in some way representative sentence from their respective books: once compiled, the sentences would work as a kind of mini-anthology and stylistic shorthand to the year's longlist. We then decided to go one further: why not post the respective sentences without attribution, embedding links to the pages of the individual books, and let the writing speak for itself?
The sentences below demonstrate a true breadth of narrative strategy and aesthetic sensibility. Some are aphoristic and ornate; some are brief and colloquial. Some are harrowing; some are funny, brusque, sarcastic. Some are only a few words long, creating direct portals to their overarching thematic concerns and pivotal plot points; and others are winding, piling clause upon clause like an intoxicated bricklayer, hinting at an elaborate structure whose dimensions can only be guessed at. Whatever the sentence or its intentions, each grants access to its corresponding text in a unique way. We hope a few pique your interest and persuade you to seek out the books from which they are excerpted.
Click here to read all 25 sentences.

The printing earth is growing each and every time. The need for printing products moves in conjunction with this particular progress. The search for printer and toner cartridges isn't a straightforward task as it is confronted with a great number of challenges and challenges. These are necessary demands that must definitely be available throughout the span of printing activities.
Getting any publishing function performed isn't a walk in the playground if somebody does not possess the required printing items using them on site. There is a summary of particular things that must be current before any publishing can take place. One extremely important element will be the profile of satisfactory or enough levels of inks in a range of shades for quality production.
The principle is the fact that basic and also this is what's been typical because the invention of those peripheral devices. The whole notion of putting some sort of shade in writing or textile has become the base of a great number of sectors and enterprise. So many people have to engage in such actions in the span of their work.
The most popular units have their own toners and tubes which can be supplied by the official companies. These are now actually the recommended items that folks should use. The idea of compatibility comes in below plus some produce items are not suitable for particular machines. One must be sure that a toner or a capsule is compatible towards the equipment in question.
The developing of publishing activities across the world has produced them to be achieved in large scale or bulk amounts. The total amount of paper work and printed fabric that's being made daily is quite big. Several sectors greatly depend on publishing practices and also this ensures that every one of these regions of application need a constant supply or way to obtain printing supplies.
Printer Maintenance Tips…
To get the best printing results from your printer you need to maintain it, but how?
General Printer Maintenance Tips…
Just like brushing your teeth or taking your car to the garage for an oil change, there are simple everyday things you can do to maintain and prolong the useable life of your inkjet or laser printer.
(Be sure to turn off the power and unplug the printer before you start.)
Outside. Clean the outside of your printer at least once a week. Use a damp, lint-free cloth dipped in water or rubbing alcohol to wipe away dust, dirt, animal hair, and other contaminants. Beware: Stronger cleaners can damage the printer case.
Inside. Pop the hood and remove the toner cartridge. Clean the gears and rollers along the paper path. To clean the rollers, use rubbing alcohol or Bestine (a solvent usually available at art stores).
Vacuum. It is not recommended to use a compressed air blower to clean out the inside of your laser or inkjet printer, because dirt and dust are blasted back into the printer. For better results, buy a small portable vacuum that you also can use to clean your keyboard.
Rock the toner. Before replacing the toner cartridge, rock it gently from side to side. This prolongs the life of the toner. It also redistributes the toner so that your printer prints evenly across the page.
Printer Maintenance Tips
Print a blank page. Run a clean page through your printer. This will pick up lint, dust, and stray toner. In some printers, you'll have to take the printer offline and then press the Form Feed button. OR… open your word processor to a blank page and press the Print command. If it won't print a blank page, type any character and then press Print.
There are several inkjet and laser cleaning products that claim to remove dust, dried ink, and paper debris from the feed rollers, toner drum, and thermal head. Save your money.
Cover up. When not in use, protect your printer with a printer cover. They're available at computer and office supply stores. A cover keeps your printer safe and clean when not in use.
If it ain't broke. Unlike cars, there's no set time to have a printer checked out by a professional. For the most part, inkjet and laser printers work tirelessly. The only thing you'll replace is the toner or ink cartridge, which is why you should always have an extra on hand. Faulty, damaged, or bad toner or ink cartridges are responsible for the majority of printer problems—especially image output defects such as fuzzy or dropped-out words, staining, and uneven or fading ink.
Before you call tech support, lug your printer into an authorized repair facility, or request in-house service, you should try to change the cartridge first and see if that clears up the problem.

There are naturally the well-known capsule and toner manufacturers on the market. Many of these brands are possessed by the large printer models companies for example Hewlett Packard and Canon. There are however many counterfeit goods and items in lots of printing items outlets based around the world.
The event of those fake supplies in the market results in a great deal of tension to the unique manufacturer producers that you can get currently. Outsourcing quality and initial items should be the number one goal for all printing organizations and printer appliance owners.

Last week, Bishan Singh Bedi was a spectacle once again - but not in the way that we cherished as we grew up
November 4, 2003
Bishan: bitter
(c) AFP
Last week, Bishan Singh Bedi was a spectacle once again - but not in the way that we cherished as we grew up. There was none of the beauty and grace and subtlety that the memory of Bedi's slow left-arm bowling can conjure up.
Invited on stage at the Wisden International Awards to present a special achievement award for the Australian team to their coach John Buchanan, Bedi started by asking Buchanan provocatively whether he considered Wisden really to be the Bible of cricket. He then repeated a statement by Ian Chappell questioning the role of the coach in cricket, before lobbing down this arm-ball: "Tell us, John, have you made this Australian team great, or have they made you?" Buchanan had the grace to deal with the situation, and the hostess had the wit to intervene and ask Bedi to get on with the job.
Sitting in the audience, I felt both outraged and embarrassed. Outraged because our hospitality was being abused, and embarrassed because one of my childhood heroes was inflicting public humiliation on himself. People of my generation did not have the benefit of live television, but written words painted powerful images, and Bedi's was one of most poetic and noble. Yet here he was, only diminishing himself in an attempt to belittle his hosts and the man he had been called upon to honour.
It was a sad moment, because Bedi has much more to give than rancour and petulance. In my own dealings with him, I have known him to be a generous man possessing infinite wisdom. His passion for Test cricket remains undimmed, he has a keen sense of history, and when the mood takes him, he is a marvellous raconteur. It is distressing to watch him reduce himself to a caricature at ill-chosen moments. But to understand what could drive a man like Bedi to such extraordinary pique, we have to view the incident in the context of a broader syndrome that afflicts hordes of former Indian cricketers - the incurable malaise of bitterness.
Bitterness is right up there with jealousy as one of the most corrosive human conditions; those who harbour it find their soul chipped away and their dignity compromised. Life for them becomes a lament, and they end up carrying the burden of what they feel was denied to them. For a clutch of Indian cricketers from the 1970s onwards - and in some it is more pronounced than in others - the biggest cause of heartburn is that eternal evil, money. Some merely curse themselves for being born in the wrong age, but for some, it is a matter of deep resentment that despite their considerable achievements on the field, they were denied the riches available now to even the most modest of international players.
The milder version of this syndrome is manifested in the constant evocation of the noble past. They harp on ceaselessly about the evils of one-day cricket, without taking into account the reality that Test cricket wouldn't be viable without it. They berate the modern coaching system, without realising that cricket today is as much a game of knowledge and fitness as it is a game of skills.
They often wax nostalgic about a time when cricketers turned up at the ground for the love of the game, and follow that up with an immediate reference to the mercenary nature of today's cricketer, who won't even turn up at a charity match without an appearance fee. Of course, it doesn't strike them as odd that they are rarely willing to give anything back to the game without expecting handsome returns. If you have heard rumours about the odd former great asking money from a current cricketer to pass on a few trade secrets, they are true.
In the worst form, this burden of bitterness blinds the bearer to all positives and leaves him in a perpetual state of hallucination. Cricket in the consumer age is a product of its times, and indeed it is beset with many ills. But only the completely blinkered will be unable to see that the game has actually become better in many ways. Too much money too soon can be a problem for some youngsters unable to come to terms with their sudden riches, but to ascribe every dip in a cricketer's performance to his preoccupation with money is to betray naiveté at best and pettiness at worst.
There is scant remedy for such bitterness. The least our heroes from the past can do is to keep it private. By displaying their rancour in public, they only end up dishonouring their own memory.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Carlos Santana hit two homers and drove in five runs as the Cleveland Indians routed Kansas City 15-4 Sunday in their highest-scoring game of the season. Santana connected for a two-run shot in the sixth inning off Jake Odorizzi, who lost in his major league debut. Santana added his team-leading 18th homer, a three-run drive during a seven-run ninth. The loss officially eliminated the Royals from playoff contention and assured them of another losing record. Kansas City has not made the postseason since winning the 1985 World Series, the longest active playoff drought in the majors.

Sweetgreen Founders Jonathan Neman and Nate Ru Take Us Inside Their Bachelor Pad
The Washington, D.C.-based salad chain made quite a stir with its debut New York City location last year. Known for mixing sustainable materials and a hefty dose of clean design into their storefronts, it's not surprising that their D.C. abode reflect the same standards of style and substance.
Founded in 2007 by Georgetown students Nate Ru, Jonathan Neman, and Nick Jammet, Sweetgreen set itself apart from the fast casual dining pack by offering more than just thrown-together salads. The trio smartly catered to customers seeking a healthy lifestyle and folded that experience into their love of good design, utilizing sustainable construction methods like reclaimed wood, and great music. In 2010 they even branched out with the Sweetlife Festival, an annual concert with performers ranging from The Strokes, Avicii, and Kendrick Lamar.
Last year they made Sweetgreen made it's Manhattan debut with a restaurant in the rapidly-growing NoMad neighborhood, and its open design and fresh food was literaly and figuratively eaten up by New Yorkers in no time. All this recent growth means little downtime for its founders but when Jonathan Neman and Nate Ru get a good night's sleep it's at the spacious home they share just off D.C.'s U Street corridor, a late night hotspot that's home to lauded music venues like U Street Music Hall and neighborhood institutions like Ben's Chili Bowl. So we asked them to give us a tour of their pad so we could see how sweet it really is.

DJ Haze has been behind a lot of bangin' mixtapes over the past few years, highlighted by projects with Fat Joe, Nu Jerzey Devil, and, most notably, The Game. For the recently-released Black Wall Street Radio (Part 5) the dynamic duo has linked up once again. On Baggage Claim, production trio Cookin' Soul whips up a perfect recipe of heavy bass riffs and signature Cali piano stabs over which Hurricane Game slides in a Jay-Z subliminal, shouts out Beyonce, and gets his Phil Jackson on for the Lakers. Of late, Game has hinted that he belongs on that 'best lyricists list', but the mixed reviews of his L.A.X. release haven't solidified his spot. Regardless, with so much venom being spit from his corner, it's safe to say that a retirement party won't be needed any time soon.

Philosophical reflections on the environment began with early philosophers' invocation of a cosmology that mixed natural and supernatural phenomena. Today, the central philosophical problem posed by the environment involves not what it can teach us about ourselves and our place in the cosmic order but rather how we can understand its workings in order to make better decisions about our own conduct regarding it. The resulting inquiry spans different areas of contemporary philosophy, many of which are represented by the fifteen original essays in this volume.
Why does reason matter, if (as many people seem to think) in the end everything comes down to blind faith or gut instinct? Why not just go with what you believe even if it contradicts the evidence? Why bother with rational explanation when name-calling, manipulation, and force are so much more effective in our current cultural and political landscape?
Why is it so hard to make up our minds? Adam and Eve set the template: Do we or don't we eat the apple? They chose, half-heartedly, and nothing was ever the same again. With this book, Kenneth Weisbrode offers a crisp, literate, and provocative introduction to the age-old struggle with ambivalence.
Ludwig Wittgenstein and Martin Heidegger are two of the most important--and two of the most difficult--philosophers of the twentieth century, indelibly influencing the course of continental and analytic philosophy, respectively. In Groundless Grounds, Lee Braver argues that the views of both thinkers emerge from a fundamental attempt to create a philosophy that has dispensed with everything transcendent so that we may be satisfied with the human.
The idea of place--topos--runs through Martin Heidegger's thinking almost from the very start. It can be seen not only in his attachment to the famous hut in Todtnauberg but in his constant deployment of topological terms and images and in the situated, "placed" character of his thought and of its major themes and motifs.
Although Gilles Deleuze never wanted a film to be made about him, he agreed to Claire Parnet's proposal to film a series of conversations in which each letter of the alphabet would evoke a word: From A (as in Animal) to Z (as in Zigzag). These DVDs, elegantly transtlated and subtitled in English, make these conversations available for English-speaking audiences for the first time.
Events are always passing; to experience an event is to experience the passing. But how do we perceive an experience that encompasses the just-was and the is-about-to-be as much as what is actually present? In Semblance and Event, Brian Massumi, drawing on the work of William James, Alfred North Whitehead, Gilles Deleuze, and others, develops the concept of "semblance" as a way to approach this question.
If I had to place a sign of my own at the entrance to this trilogy, it would be this: let no one enter who is unwilling to praise transference and to refute loneliness.
--from Bubbles
An ancient tradition holds that Pythagoras discovered the secrets of harmony within a forge when he came across five men hammering with five hammers, producing a wondrous sound. Four of the five hammers stood in a marvelous set of proportions, harmonizing; but there was also a fifth hammer. Pythagoras saw and heard it, but he could not measure it; nor could he understand its discordant sound. Pythagoras therefore discarded it. What was this hammer, such that Pythagoras chose so decidedly to reject it?
In The Connectives, Lloyd Humberstone examines the semantics and pragmatics of natural language sentence connectives (and, or, if, not), giving special attention to their formal behavior according to proposed logical systems and the degree to which such treatments capture their intuitive meanings. It will be an essential resource for philosophers, mathematicians, computer scientists, linguists, or any scholar who finds connectives, and the conceptual issues surrounding them, to be a source of interest.

On Thursday, New York McDonald's workers will stage a protest for better pay. It's the latest effort in what has become a national movement aimed at increasing fast food wages-which average $8.69 an hour-to $15 an hour. The odds are steep, because the restaurant industry is dead set against it. A new report released Thursday details just how much power the restaurant lobby wields in Washington.
The National Restaurant Association (the other NRA), which lobbies on behalf of the $600 billion industry, has been fighting minimum wage hikes, paid sick leave, and food safety rules for decades. But over the course of the slow economic recovery, which has been characterized by a disproportionate increase in low-wage service sector jobs, the NRA sharpened its knives, more than doubling its lobbying force on the Hill. Between 2008 and 2013, the number of NRA lobbyists pushing the industry's interests in Washington jumped from 15 to 37, according to the report, which was put together by the Alliance for a Just Society (AJS), a network of social justice organizations, and Restaurant Opportunities Centers United (ROCUnited), an organization that pushes for better conditions for food workers.
"The NRA has super-sized its investment in insider influence since 2008," the report notes.
In addition to the lobbyists working on behalf of the NRA, nine of the association's biggest members-including McDonald's, Marriott, Walt Disney, and YUM! Brands-were represented in Washington by another 127 registered lobbyists in 2013, according to the report. That's up from 56 in 1998.
The NRA, which represents 52,000 member companies, including KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut, has spent $2.2 million on lobbying since November 2012, and over $400,000 in campaign contributions, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Thousands of criminals' DNA are on record in the state of Virginia, but some samples have gotten lost over the years. That's why the local law enforcement started a statewide push to recollect missing DNA.
They began checking for missing samples in October, and Charlottesville Police have already identified a man who could be connected to a crime that was committed 5 years ago. They are hoping for hundreds if not thousands of other matches throughout the state.
In the General Assembly, lawmakers just passed a bill that would outline who should collect samples, and would authorize the correct people to gather what's missing.
Governor Tim Kaine is expected to sign the bill.
The Charlottesville Police just had one hit, that connects someone to a burglary that happened in 2005.
The system could help police find the serial rapist.
Captain Chip Harding says "If the system does this sweep back in time, to get those samples into the data bank, we could very well see a connection and it could hit on our serial rape case".

Great stat about Vegas being right on home dogs in similar situations.
I always have to remind myself than when you guys pick, it's with the spread and not straight up. Definitely like Baltimore getting 8 points, that's a pretty good deal given how the defense has been transformed in the playoffs. Frankly, I still can't absorb the change.
I also like the over in the SF game. I have a feeling Atlanta won't try to rush Copernicus, just contain him and see how well he throws into confusing coverages downfield. Frank Gore's role will be interesting. Matt Ryan figures to have reasonable time to throw. Justin Smith will be what he was last week, tendons don't heal that quickly.
I agree. Eight points is too much to lay against a Baltimore defense which is playing as well as they are right now and when New England has had as many problems beating the Ravens as they have recently. In the last four seasons, the Pats are 3-2 against Baltimore. In four of those five games (NE is 3-1), the combined margin of victory has been thirteen points (including an overtime game). In the other game, New England lost by 19 points on a Wild Card Sunday. Eight is way, way too much to put money on.
I really like San Francisco. I think this is the most talented team in the league.

Seasonal Rangers Peter and Catherine at the 'Grand Canyon' in Grampians National Park
11 months ago from Parks Victoria
Seasonal rangers sign on at the Grampians National Park
Tuesday 17 December, 2013
Parks Victoria's new crew of seasonal rangers is heading out to parks around the state to help out during its busiest time of year, with two of the new crew joining the team in the Grampians National Park
Catherine Longmore and Peter Matthews have begun their duties in the Grampians National Park.
Catherine has completed an Environmental Science degree at Deakin University, majoring in wildlife and conservation biology and has worked for Parks Victoria before.
"I worked as a summer ranger and casual employee in the Great Otway National Park, based in Apollo Bay, from 2009 to 2012. Through my studies, volunteer work and experiences with Parks Victoria, I have gained a special interest in pest animal and threatened species management.
"This summer I am looking forward to exploring the Grampians National Park on foot, gaining on-the-job knowledge and experience through helping other staff on projects and having the opportunity to spend my time working in a beautiful and spectacular location," she said.
Peter Matthews has also had previous experience, working as a seasonal ranger at the National Rhododendron Gardens in the Dandenong Ranges last summer and doing weekend patrols at Lysterfield Lake Park.
He completed a Diploma of Conservation and Land Management at RMIT last year and is now studying Environmental Science.
"I'm really looking forward to getting to know the Grampians and the people involved in its management. I'm also looking forward to applying any knowledge that I have gained through my studies," he said.
Parks Victoria ranger, Andrew Roach said, "Having extra help is a real bonus at this time of year. It means that we can continue to provide high quality services and experiences for locals and for the large number of visitors who come to enjoy the Grampians over summer."
"Seasonal rangers also benefit from their summer stint with Parks Victoria by learning practical and management skills through a wide range of projects. For those aspiring to become full time rangers it's also a great hands on and fun experience," he said.
The team of 38 rangers includes 11 marine specialists who will be based at various coastal parks and reserves to help with summer visitor programs.

Review: LA Opera's 'Billy Budd' hard to surpass
Robert Millard/LA Opera
Greer Grimsley (top) as John Claggart and Keith Jameson as the Novice.
LA Opera performs Benjamin Britten's "Billy Budd" through March 16 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. The opera is based on Herman Melville's book of the same name, adapted by E.M. Forster and Eric Crozier, and features baritone Liam Bonner as Billy, tenor Richard Croft as Captain Vere, and bass Greer Grimsley as Claggart in a production by Francesca Zambello. James Conlon leads the LA Opera orchestra and chorus.
"Billy Budd" was Herman Melville's literary time bomb. A parable of guilt and innocence, it wasn't until long after the great novelist's death that this story was found unfinished in his archives. But it instantly took its place, alongside "Moby Dick," as one of his major works.
Perhaps because it is both great and incomplete, people ever since have struggled to make whole Melville's tale of a near-perfect man destroyed by his own goodness. I first saw it as a live TV play in 1955, when it starred, of all people, a very young William Shatner as Billy.
Marc Haefele: Sid Caesar saved my childhood
Comedian Sid Caesar in the backyard of his Beverly Hills, Ca., home on May 11, 1982.
I think it was Matt Groening who said that the prime virtue of television was that it allowed families who wanted to kill one another to sit together peacefully for hours on end.
That's exactly what the various iterations of Sid Caesar's "Show of Shows" did for my beleaguered family unit back in the early 1950s — my mother wasting away from a series of degenerative ailments for which she refused to seek medical attention, my father abraded on the millstone of a dead-end white-collar job, and my brother and I struggling through troubled early adolescence with a minimum of positive parental attention.
In other words, we were like many, perhaps most, of the real-time families of that Eisenhower era, silently miserable in an age of plenty for many — and hypocritical happiness for all.
CD Review: Schreker's 'The Stigmatized,' a great moment in LA Opera history
Robert Millard
The LA Opera's 2010 dress rehearsal for Franz Schreker's not quite forgotten 3-hour masterpiece, "Die Gezeichneten," or "The Stigmatized." It's now available in a 3-CD set from Bridge Records.
Off-Ramp contributor Marc Haefele reviews a newly released recording of "Die Gezeichneten," by Franz Schreker. It's a 3-CD set from Bridge Records featuring the Los Angeles Opera and soloists under James Conlon, from the 2009-2010 season.
One of the proudest accomplishments in the 28-year history of the Los Angeles Opera has finally gone on the record, literally. It's a production brought to the Dorothy Chandler stage in an unprecedented, if controversial, demonstration of the company's maturity, raising its international reputation as a leading-edge musical institution.
No, I am most certainly not talking about the notorious Achin Freya-designed Wagner Ring Cycle, a $30 million fiscal sinkhole that, with a production that looked like a collaboration between Bertolt Brecht and Pee-wee Herman, has hamstrung the company's ambitions ever since. I'm talking about L.A. Opera's courageous mounting, for the first time in the Western Hemisphere, of Franz Schreker's not quite forgotten three-hour masterpiece, "Die Gezeichneten," or "The Stigmatized."
Valentine's Day: Crowdsourced non-icky date options, or 'What, they're all out of Cold Duck!?'
LAPL/Herald-Examiner collection
"Heart-shaped box of candy, silver belt, and Valentine greetings found in Eugene H. White's blood-stained car." c. 1947.
Here's the thing. This is bad:
What, they're all out of Cold Duck!? You don't want this in your mouth or even on your table.
But come Valentine's Day, it's the kind of thing you'll get at about 9-million restaurants in Southern California, along with a fixed-price menu, inflexible dining times, and high prices. Even my beloved Musso & Frank is doing it, and is booked solid.
So we put out the call to listeners to show a little #kpcclove and suggest some refuges from the Valentine's Industry.
Note: The following are all possibilities, based on listener suggestions; please call the restaurants themselves to confirm if they have room, and if they're doing the Valentine's shtick.
On KPCC's Facebook page, Kelly Kubik recommends The Park in Echo Park (as of presstime, there was room at 9:30pm). Sean Hise says Rice Thai Tapas on Glenarm in Pasadena is a good option; although I checked and they only have space at 5:30pm. Benjamin Alvarez posted: Taco Joe's restaurant in Highland CA. Nice sit down restaurant. Less than $30 per couple."
From huge to humble: Architect Moshe Safdie at the Skirball
Habitat of the Future, A-Frame Habitat. View of project and surrounding landscape. Part of the Safdie exhibit at the Skirball Cultural Center.
Marc Haefele writes for Off-Ramp on literature, arts and and culture. Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie, is at the Skirball Center through March 2.
More than any other living architect I can think of, Moshe Safdie has tried to change the face of the inhabited world, and he's done this on nearly every continent. For 44 years, he's been thinking about new ways for people to inhabit places.
Safdie does this in the form of innovative housing that consists of aggregates of units, but he breaks away from the clichés of both suburbia and of the urban skyscraper tower housing block, be they Fifth Avenue millionaire co-ops or Chicago's Cabrini projects.
He's brought the same originality to all of his other buildings, public and private.
His latest ideas are on display until next month at the Skirball Cultural Center — which, as it happens, is another creation of Safdie, completed late last year. The exhibit is organized by the Crystal Bridges Museum of Art in Bentonville, Ark., a creation of the Walmart Walton family. Their museum is another Sadie project.
