This could be my favorite Pats team since 2001 (which will always be #1 in my book).
1. Other than Brady, the current team is a team of no-names from #2-53 who play as a unit and play hard. No go-to guys, no superstars, no names in headlights, just a bunch of guys who keep winning.
2. They have lost so many 1st team players and the subs come in seamlessly, make no excuses, ask for no quarter and give none. To review the bidding, this team lost Wilfork, Kelly, Mayo, Vollmer, Gronkowski, Welker, Woodhead, Hernandez for a variety of reasons for the full year, and many more for multiple games.
3. I have never seen a team with so many rookies (15, which is the highest number in the NFL) and free agents (10) playing major roles at season end, and playing to such a high standard. 8 more are 2nd year players. That's a total of 33 out of 53 players who have been in this system for less than 2 years. Astonishing!
4. This is one the most balanced Patriots team in ages; they can kill you by land or by air, they can defend and take your best weapons out whether by land or by air, and their special team is one of the best in the league. There is no obvious major hole on this team of youngsters.
5. Brady is having a season for the ages; I said it at the beginning of the season and I will say it again: this is his greatest year in a storied career as a leader of men in battle. This guy is truly a selfless leader, focused exclusively on winning, whatever it takes. How can that not inspire the whole team? His contributions may never show up on the 2013 stat sheet but this year was an amazing demonstration of resilience, leadership, determination, selflessness and will.
6. If Bill Belichick is not the greatest of all NFL coaches of all time, he is in the conversation. Sheer genius is what we saw this year. Even his biggest detractors are shaking their heads at what he has accomplished this year. 15 rookies??? 2013 has been simply brilliant!
7. Best of all, this team never gives up. It has won coming back from a deficit, it has won leading through the game, it has won tight battles. It just finds ways to win. Two bad refereeing decisions cost it two games that would have given it home field advantage all the way through the playoffs but they just take that licking and keep on ticking.
I love this team! Their toughest test is this coming Sunday and I have seen no evidence that this team will not prevail. Regardless, there is no doubt that they will leave everything out on the field. How can you not love that?

Duck defense prepares for Bulldogs' spread offense
EUGENE, OR - For the second straight week, the Ducks will host an unranked, non-conference opponent with a new head coach. This Saturday it's Fresno State and Tim DeRuyter.
Understanding that a lot of guys played against Arkansas State last Saturday, the Oregon defense was still disappointed in giving up 34 points to the Red Wolves.
Looking forward to Fresno State, the Oregon defense will be preparing for yet another spread offense. The difference this week being the Bulldogs prefer a vertical passing attack rather than a horizontal attack like Arkansas State.
"Arkansas State was going to dink and duck," said defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti. "They were going to throw the ball real quick and just get it out of the quarterback's hands and not allow us to get too much pressure. Fresno may have the same plan, but they have the guys to get down the field fast. The vertical passing game will be a big challenge for us."
"They spread the field out and try to get people down the field as fast as possible," said junior strong safety Brian Jackson. "What we were seeing on our film is that we're going to have to get down field and make plays on the ball. We as (defensive backs), that's what we're made to do and we're ready for the challenge."
The Bulldogs' offense is led by quarterback Derek Carr who can run as well as he can throw.
"He's elusive," said senior linebacker Michael Clay. "He looks pretty fast on film."
Carr completed 20 of 25 passes for 298 yards and two touchdowns last Saturday in Fresno State's 37-10 victory over Weber State.

Barrage, Gas, & Soy Sauce Overdose
Editor's note: The Saturday before last I watched at least 10 large flocks of geese honking their way north. They were followed, 12 hours later, by 15 inches of snow. No one on the ground was amused.

For all you Marcellus Shale geeks (and it should be everyone in this region,) the PA Department of Environmental Protection has created an Oil and Gas Report which gives production reports, waste reports, and well details among other information.
Warning: do not drink a bottle of soy sauce as a University of Virginia freshman did on a dare while pledging. Of course, his rush to the hospital may have had something to do with meal made of dog food, matzo balls and gefilte fish that is a pledge tradition.

FORT COVINGTON Talk about peaking at the right time.
The Salmon River girls basketball team is in full resurgence mode, playing the type of game that coach Karen Francis has been waiting to see all season.
The Shamrocks (16-5) play in the state Class B semifinal game against Section 5s Waterloo (21-1) at 11:45 a.m. Friday at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy. Waterloo, ranked fourth in the latest state Class B poll, advanced with a 41-37 victory over Section 6s Olean (19-3).
The other Class B semifinal game will pit Irvington (21-2) against Oneonta (21-1), which are ranked first and second, respectively, in the same state rankings. Salmon River is ranked fifth.
The winner of the Salmon River/Waterloo contest will meet the Irvington/Oneonta winner at 4 p.m. Saturday.
We know we have our work cut out for us this weekend, but the girls are focused and ready to dig in again, said Francis, who led Salmon River to its last appearance in the final four in 1982 as a player. I have full confidence in our players and know their potential. Im excited for them because I know how hard they have worked, not only this year, but all the years leading up to now.
The Shamrocks, as they have been for the majority of the season, are led offensively by junior standout Abby Kelly, who poured in 35 points during the quarterfinal win against Watervliet on Saturday. Kelly finished ranked among the top scorers in the Northern Athletic Conference, averaging 23.3 points per game with 34 3-pointers and shooting around 50 percent from the field.
Inside force Aliyah Cook, another junior has stepped up her game at the right time of the year. Cook, averaging 9.8 points per game, added a 17-point, five-rebound effort against Watervliet, tossing in a pair of 3-pointers and supplying four free throws during a the crucial 12-4 fourth-quarter run that propelled the girls to the state semifinals. Cook was among the NAC Central Division leaders in rebounds during the regular season with 8.9 rebounds per game.
Adding to the board play is junior Kwiio King, who made the jump back to basketball after a year of playing hockey for Salmon River. King scored all seven of her points during the final quarter against Watervliet, while collecting eight rebounds, and making four steals. She averages 8.5 rebounds a game.
Helping out in the backcourt are two more juniors, Jaiden Mitchell and Taylor Francis.
Im still in awe of how well our girls played on Saturday, Francis said.
The Waterloo Indians have a trio of players to watch. Juniors Lindsay Johnson and Lauren Deming, both six-footers, scored 15 and 12 points, respectively, in the regional final against Olean. Johnson averaged 17.6 points per game while Deming tossed in an average of 15.9 points per game.
The third member of the scoring trio for Waterloo is junior Chelsea Steinruck, who scored seven of her nine points in the fourth quarter against Olean. Steinruck has averaged 11.1 ppg and has helped the team during its current 10-game win streak, connecting on 79 percent of her shots from the field.

MORRISTOWN - All charges have been dropped in the case against Ryann A. Wilson, who was accused of burning a cross in his yard on April 29.
Mr. Wilson, 28, of 3 Shady Lawn Drive, Hammond, was arrested in early June by St. Lawrence County sheriffs deputies and charged with felony first-degree aggravated harassment.
A grand jury was convened in the matter but did not indict Mr. Wilson. The case was closed and sealed on Aug. 8, according to St. Lawrence County Court Clerk Mary B. Curran. District Attorney Nicole M. Duve could not be reached for comment.
Nigel A. Spahr had accused Mr. Wilson of hurling racial slurs at him, threatening to lynch him and burning a cross in an act of intimidation. Mr. Spahr, who is black, was celebrating his birthday with friends at Katelyn Perrettas apartment, next door to Mr. Wilsons residence, at 5 Shady Lawn Drive on the night of the incident.
But Mr. Wilson said, It was never a matter of race; it was a dispute, and I think alcohol was a big factor.
Ive never been a racist, he said. I just want to move forward and I want the news to come out that its done.
Mr. Wilson said Mr. Spahr was extremely drunk on the night of the incident and had been confronting him all night.
Mr. Wilson has had frequent disputes over property boundaries with Ms. Perrettas landlord, Daniel C. Snyder, Mr. Spahr has said, explaining why he told Mr. Wilson not to come to the party.
But Mr. Spahr started the trouble that night by insulting Mr. Wilsons wife, Amanda, according to Mr. Wilson.
He was insulting my wife, Mr. Wilson said. He was calling her a redheaded ginger, which to me is a form of racism.
Mr. Spahr, a 2007 graduate of Morristown Central School and current resident of Gouverneur, has disputed claims that he insulted Mrs. Wilson. He could not be reached for additional comment for this article. Mr. Wilson said his wife asked how Mr. Spahr would like being insulted and used a racial slur in the process. Mrs. Wilson would not comment on her behavior during the incident.
Mr. Wilson also said that his wife was responsible for building the cross out of two large boards, but that she wasnt able to stand it up and burn it because it was too big. She then scrapped the idea, Mr. Wilson said, and threw the cross in their outdoor fire pit as firewood.
It was never burnt in front of them, Mr. Wilson said, referring to Mr. Spahr and his friends. It was laid down in the fire. I had a fit that she was burning that, for one, because it was $30 in lumber.
Mr. Spahr previously claimed to have witnessed the cross burning from a window of Ms. Perrettas apartment.
Ms. Perretta said Mr. Spahr refuses to come over to her apartment after the incident and said she doesnt understand how the case was dropped.

POTSDAM - Mark P. Sarkisian, director of seismic and structural engineering in the San Francisco office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, received an honorary doctor of science degree at Clarkson Universitys 120th Commencement on May 11.
Sarkisians career has focused on developing innovative structural engineering solutions for more than 100 major building projects around the world, including the 421-meter-tall Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai, China; the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, China; the 412-meter-tall Al Hamra Fidrous Tower in Kuwait City, Kuwait; and the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, California.
The degree was awarded for his dedication to the science and art of engineering and for his visionary development of sustainable buildings and construction methods, and his inspiring work with future generations of engineers, designers and builders.
Calling Clarkson graduates to contribute to the arts and sciences, to mathematics, physics and research, Sarkisian urged them to join forces and find sustainable solutions as if they were a collective of common elements, that is far more powerful and beautiful - when working together than when each member works independently.
As examples of this collaboration, he cited migratory birds flying in formation cycling leaders throughout their journey, people building and interacting in cities, and you and your professors striving toward the advancement of understanding together.
He spoke of emergence— of becoming something new— saying, This leads to efficiency in design and also creates a symbiotic relationship between structure, architecture and buildings systems.
Sarkisian called this emergence — becoming something new — as the path to achievement and accomplishments that will ultimately shape your contribution.
Sarkisian received his bachelor of science degree in civil engineering from the University of Connecticut, where he is a Fellow of the Academy of Distinguished Engineers, and his master of science degree in structural engineering from Lehigh University.
He holds five U.S. Patents for high-performance seismic structural mechanisms designed to protect buildings in areas of high seismicity, including the Pin-Fuse Seismic Systems; and two patents for seismic and environmentally responsible structural systems: the Bay Arc Tidal Responsive Barrier and the Sustainable Form-Inclusion System.
Sarkisian has authored more than 100 technical papers related to the design of building structures, and in 2012 he completed the book, Designing Tall Buildings – Structure as Architecture, published by Routledge.
He teaches integrated studio design courses focused on collaborative design opportunities that have included students from the University of California, Berkeley, California College of the Arts, Stanford University and California Polytechnic State University.
Sarkisian is an invited speaker/lecturer and studio critic at universities throughout the world, including Lehigh University, the University of Connecticut, the Architectural Association - London, the University of Bristol, Stanford University, the University of California - Berkeley, and the University of Colorado.
Sarkisian is a licensed Professional Engineer and Structural Engineer in 16 states, and is LEED-accredited for the design of new building and construction.

UCLA researchers led by Dr. Patricia Ganz, director of cancer prevention and control research at the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, professor of health policy and management at the Fielding School of Public Health and professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine, have published a study showing a statistically significant association between neuropsychological (NP) test performance and memory complaints in post-treatment, early stage breast cancer patients.
Patient-reported memory difficulties were associated with having received chemotherapy and radiation (chemo + RT) as well as symptoms related to depression. This is one of the first studies to show that patient complaints of memory and thinking (cognitive) problems after breast cancer treatment, often called "chemo brain," are associated with NP test performance. The study was published today online ahead of press in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Ganz and colleagues conducted the study with 189 breast cancer patients who were enrolled about one month after completing initial treatments with surgery with or without radiation and/or chemotherapy and before the start of hormone (endocrine) therapy, if planned. A major goal of the study was to examine how much hormone therapy contributes to memory and thinking problems in breast cancer survivors, and this pre-hormone therapy assessment was able to separate the effects of initial treatments on these problems. Earlier post-treatment studies of breast cancer patients were difficult to interpret as they included women already taking hormone therapy.
Cognitive complaints are common after breast cancer treatments, and earlier research had not identified a consistent association with NP testing abnormalities. More often these complaints were associated with anxiety and depressive symptoms, limiting confidence that "chemo brain" reflected a cancer treatment toxicity. In this study, women with serious depressive symptoms were excluded, and the researchers also took careful account of the cancer treatments used and whether or not menopause and hormonal changes could be influencing the cognitive complaints. Even though these patients reported subtle changes in their memory and thinking, the NP testing showed detectable differences.
The researchers used a sample of age-matched healthy women as a comparison (control) group. They found that 23.3 percent of the breast cancer patients had higher memory complaints and 19 percent reported higher executive function complaints after breast cancer treatments using a self-report questionnaire.
"In the past, many researchers said that we can't rely on patients' self-reported complaints or that they are just depressed," Ganz said. "Previous studies could not find this association between NP testing and cognitive complaints. In this study, we were able to look at specific components of the cognitive complaints and found they were associated with relevant NP function test abnormalities. As we provide additional reports on the follow-up testing in these women, we will track their recovery from treatment as well as determine whether hormone therapy contributes to worsening complaints over time."
This research was supported by the National Cancer Institute, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and funding from the National Institutes of Health to the Cousins Center for Psychoneuroimmunology.
UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has more than 240 researchers and clinicians engaged in disease research, prevention, detection, control, treatment and education. One of the nation's largest comprehensive cancer centers, the Jonsson center is dedicated to promoting research and translating basic science into leading-edge clinical studies. In July 2012, the Jonsson Cancer Center was once again named among the nation's top 10 cancer centers by U.S. News & World Report, a ranking it has held for 12 of the last 13 years.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
The other night I couldn't sleep. So at about 4 a.m. I finally decided to stop fighting the business problems running through my head and went into our television room and sat up for awhile. I wanted to see if I could get back into a state of slumber.
I was tempted to turn on the TV; you know to watch those so interesting infomercials that run on most of the cable stations all night. But then I looked up at the top of the television and there were three books I had started at one time or another in the past couple of months and the markers in them told a tale. It was a tale of unfinished business, all in varying degrees of incompleteness.
So instead of turning on the tube (maybe that term is outdated now with flat screens) I picked up the one that I had read the most, a biography about Jimmy Stewart, who always has been one of my favorite actors. I finished the book in less than a half hour.
Now in the reading mood, I started to search for other things to read. I didn't really want to get into one of the other books, so I picked up the latest issue of National Geographic and read and picked through it for another half hour. Then I looked at copies of the Sun Advocate and Emery County Progress that were sitting there. Finally I ended up with an old copy of a hobby magazine that was laying near my wife's computer that co-exists with the television in the room.
Not once did I turn on an electronic device, and I had fun, learned a lot and felt relaxed. So relaxed in fact that I was ready to go back to bed by 6 a.m. which is past my usual rising time. So instead I stepped into the shower and got ready to go to work.
My whole life I have been a reader. In recent times, like everyone else I have become enamored with the web and all its depth. But that on paper reading experience, in that one early morning, brought to me the value and amazement I still have about the printed page, whether it be in a book, a magazine or a newspaper. To see those words, spelled out on paper; to be able to read them and imagine; to be able to see someone elses thoughts, their lives.
In a sense reading is a reenactment of what others have done before me. Someone not only wrote the words I read, but I was reading printed text just like people who have long since passed. There is a sense of history, a sense of the family of man.
In my own family, my mother had read all the time and had never gotten rid of a book in all her years. An immigrant to the United States in the 1920's she never threw anything away, including even the trashiest paperback. It shows because I still have her books mixed in my library, which makes it much bigger than it would if only my interests were represented there.
Even after 58 years of education in this world (16 of it formal) I am still amazed by this technology of words on a page.
Why? I'm not sure, but I do know one thing.
I want to continue to be a part of it for the rest of my life, whether it is reading what someone else wrote or producing some of that ink on paper myself.

At 11:28 (estimate) ADST Jessica Lay has been cofirmed as the first victim of to what only can be called one of this springs most heinous of all Bunneh attack. At best Ms. Lay has just been drug off to their hole to undergo what is rumored to be a form of brainwashing involving bacon deprivation for approximately two weeks. If they follow their usual pattern we will find her tied to the U.S. Border Wall in TX in effigy to gluttons everywhere.
Ms. Lay was last seeing leaving her local Ben & Jerry's with her seventh order that day of Creamy Schweddy Ball Ice Cream, in a cup.
As reported this earlier this week Bunneh's are a unique and aggressive breed of Oryctolagus cuniculus with tendencies to get aggitated, turning on their intended target as what can only be explained as an enhanced sense of apparent gluttonous behavior. What makes this is quite serious is Bunneh's do not attack without provocation. Eating as much Ben & Jerry Creamy Schweddy Ball Ice Cream would definitely qualify as such.
The oppenents in this will venehmently argue there is in no way any Oryctolagus cuniculus (regular old bunnies) could harm you. Regular old bunnies are an animal that takes time, care and maintenance and make great house pets for those with the time. However, this reporter has learned the breed of Oryctolagus cuniculus in question is not an ordinary breed but a genetically enhanced failed government experiment. An inside source at the DOD claims they are reminents left over from a secret project to develop innocent looking support staff for Texas Border Patrol agents. Though enhanced they are bunnies after all and tend to reproduce at a rapid rate.
Ms. Lay is survived by her BBB Ms. Kriss Morton-Weekley. If Ms. Lay is found on the wall and has not become a vegetarian by indoctrination, Ms. Morton-Weekley will be having a Bacon and Nutella feast with all the Creamy Schweddy Ball Ice cream she can eat. Donations can be sent to Cabin Goddessand all are invited to attend, as long as they bring Bacon.

The results of Ogdensburgs state-funded Main Street facade improvement program are there to see for pedestrians and motorists alike since they were finished last year.
Now, they are going to be available online or by visiting the Ogdensburg Public Library.
A 15-page, full-color pictorial with narrative on the pair of $200,000 programs targeting the Marina District in 2008 and the Ford and State Street District in 2009 will be posted to the websites of both the city and the Ogdensburg Growth Fund Development Corp.
Also, two hard copies of the document are available for hands-on perusal at the library, located at 312 Washington St.
City Planning and Development Director Andrea L. Smith said the reports then-and-now theme - showing the facades before and after their makeovers - is deliberate.
Its to emphasize the visual impact on the projects, she said.
The businesses whose facades were improved were: 423 State St., occupied by Dixie Lee Fried Chicken; 637 State St., owned by Morristown contractor Bernard Bertrand and occupied by Little Caesars pizza; the redevelopment of the former Ramada Inn, 119 W. River St., by Plattsburgh developer Gilbert J. Jones into a hotel and apartments; the library; Frederic Remington Art Museum, 303 Washington St.; the Dillingham Jones building, 402 Ford St.; a new marquee for the closed but possibly reopening Ogdensburg Cinemas I and II, 219 Ford St.; Phillips Diner, 415 Ford St.; Hosmers Marina, 54 E. River St.; the Duffy building, 59 E. River St.; and the Mayhew building, 110-112 Lake St.
Both grants provided matching funds for projects aimed at rehabilitating business facades to improve the appearance of Ogdensburgs old commercial districts. The two programs closed out in October with $5,397.22 that was returned to the state from the Marina District grant. There was nothing unspent from the Ford and State Street District program.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
East Carbon City Mayor Orlando LaFontaine sharply criticized the city's Planning and Zoning board on Tuesday, claiming that the department is making it difficult for people to purchase or develop property in town.
LaFontaine said he feels that the process of purchasing a property may be one of the reasons preventing businesses from moving into the city. He said there have been few instances where people call him up saying they want to move to the area and mentioned that some people and businesses who have given back to the community have left the area recently.
"Nothing hurts more than that," he said. "Do you know why they leave or why our kids don't want to come back here? Because there is nothing here."
Purchasing land in East Carbon has become a long and drawn out process for property purchasers, complete with many pages of forms to be filled out, numerous meetings that must be attended and describing what exactly will be done with the property before the transaction is completed.
After weeks of deliberations and going back and forth between the the city council and Planning and Zoning board, council members approved the purchase of two properties with the requirement that they will be surveyed and appraised.
The action by the city council was made final after the council came to the consensus that allowing the purchase of the land by the two purchasers was in the best interest of the city. Jeremy Humes, East Carbon city attorney, said that the city could skip the other steps in the process, including the bidding process, if they showed that the property purchases in question were being sold in the best interests of the city.
The property purchases have made the council question issues within the city not only with people purchasing land, but also trying to get businesses and families to move into the area. The revenue from taxes on the properties collected by the city is the one thing council members agreed is a very important issue that could go towards helping the city, especially with its budget problems.
While the motion was passed to allow the property purchases, more questions, and criticisms, preceded the action by the city council.
The council opened the meeting with a public hearing about the sale of the properties which allowed members of the community, including the property purchasers, to give their thoughts and ask questions before the council. During the hearing LaFontaine brought up the problems he sees with the city council and the planning and zoning committee. LaFontaine said that people looking to purchase property having been going back and forth between both boards in the attempt to complete the purchase. He also said that Planning and Zoning should have all of the information about the property, including what is being planned for the land.
Last week LaFontaine said he was looking for a map in the Planning and Zoning office and was having a hard time finding what he was searching for. His opinion about the office was less than flattering.
"For five years I have been mayor here, the Planning and Zoning office is a disgraceful place," he said. "I went in there looking for a map and oh my, oh my."
LaFontaine said that Planning and Zoning helps the city council out by giving information on what they feel should be done about projects in the city, including property purchases. He offered the suggestion that the city should reevaluate the relationship between the city and the planning and zoning board.
"We (city council) need to start fresh with planning and zoning," said LaFontaine.
Joyce Caviness, chairperson for the Planning and Zoning board, said that the board is doing the best they can with the information that the board is provided with. Caviness said there were other issues the board is dealing with including specific information about the properties.
"Sometimes we don't know what is being sold and what is being bought," Caviness said, noting that the properties in question are on such big pieces of land.
While the relationship between the city council and planning and zoning may need work, some feel that the system in place right now is not bad. Councilman David Avery thought that some people were bad mouthing the Planning and Zoning board. Avery said he felt there are some things the planning and zoning board is not responsible for but are being blamed for regardless.
"Are we supposed to teach the purchaser how to purchase the property? It's not our responsibility," said Avery.
While he does not work on the board of Planning and Zoning, Avery attends the meetings as an observer for the city council. Councilman Darrell Valdez serves as a member on the board.
The system currently in effect right now for purchasing property is not a bad one, Avery said.
"It's not before (purchasing) and it's not after. That's what this meeting is here tonight," he said.
"We have a good system if we work within it."
Avery said he would like to see due diligence followed with the purchaser, including what plans on what the property may possibly look like when everything is completed. He questioned whether the city or the purchaser would be responsible for having water, sewer, gas, street lighting and other requirements that may be needed for a property. The council agreed that issues with utilities would be taken care of by the purchaser if they are not currently in place at the property.
Jeff and Ricki Palmer, who are in the process of buying property, have talked about possibly putting storage units on the property they want to purchase. Terry Young, the other property purchaser, said he would use his property to park his heavy equipment and vehicles instead of parking them around town.
To better understand the the properties in question, the city council agreed that it may be best if council members visit the properties in question to get a first-hand look for themselves.

2013 will not be the year of the mobile wallet.
I received a note from a payments industry expert the other day, discussing hot topics for 2013. Ben Saren, vice president of marketing at payment processor Litle & Co., caught my attention on the subject of mobile wallets and mobile payments. He did not hold back. Here is what he had to say.
"People are never going to switch to mobile wallets as long as it's just as easy to pull out a credit card as it is to pull out your phone. There's no incentive to change the channel," Saren says. "Recent industry buzz would suggest that mobile payments and mobile wallet technologies are suddenly arriving on the scene. That is just not the case. This stuff has been around for a while. The problem is that no one has made the first move. Everyone is waiting on everyone else. Merchants are waiting for consumer adoption. Consumers are waiting for merchants to make the stuff available. Manufacturers are waiting for merchants to request the technology. And around we go."
Saren points to the high level of performance of the credit card networks as a primary hurdle for mobile payments.
"Consumers are not asking for this. We take for granted how easily and quickly we can pay for something with a piece of plastic," he says. "Love or hate the card networks, they have paved all of the highways and largely made them traffic-free. When you go to a retail location and buy something with a piece of plastic, the authorization happens in less than a second. That is absolutely outstanding. And in most cases, merchants see the settlement a mere hour later. So somebody needs to tell me how the system is broken today and why we need something else. I just don't see it. This one is not clicking for me, and I'm in the business."
Credit cards really are the culprit behind the lack of interest in mobile wallets and mobile payments. (Mind you, mobile payments in the form of consumers paying with credit and debit cards on m-commerce sites and mobile apps are doing just fine.) Mobile wallets today are not a better mousetrap, though to be fair, they are connected to the Internet in ways cards are not and can thus afford access to loyalty accounts and coupons.
When Near Field Communication, or NFC, wireless technology becomes prevalent on smartphones and cash registers enabling quick tap-and-go transactions, then maybe a better case can be made for mobile wallets. But even then, I doubt that will be any quicker than swiping a card. You'll still have to get your phone out of your pocket and turn it on, and perhaps launch an app.
Somewhere down the line, way down the line, I think making payments via smartphones will catch on, simply because of the central role smartphones are coming to have in people's lives. But that day will not come anytime soon due to a variety of hurdles, credit cards being perhaps the biggest. So beware the hype.

Offseason Surgery Made McElroy's Arm Stronger
Everyone knows the book on Greg McElroy at this point. He's smart, a good leader with good to very good feet and solid mechanics and he knows his primary job is not to turn the ball over (isn't that a novel concept). The issues for McElroy coming out of Alabama – and the reason he fell to the seventh round – were concerns over his average arm strength. Well, it turns out the surgery McElroy had on his hand last offseason actually helped him improve his arm strength.
From Kristian Dyer of Metro New York:
"The rehab had me use a variety of things to strengthen my hand, from webs to rubber bands, trying to strength the smaller muscles in your hand," McElroy said last week. "You're able to speed up the motion of your arm because, technically, your arm can go as fast as you want it to go."
"I don't really keep track of long distance throws so I can't really say how much I added in terms of yards to my deep balls, per se. The farthest you're every really throwing the football in a game is somewhere around 50 to maybe 55 yards," McElroy said. "I can make those throws obviously. But now, I can do it without having to set my feet as much and I don't have to step into it as much. There's a difference."
Corey Griffin, TheJetsBlog.comNo one's saying McElroy is suddenly Michael Vick (hey-o!), but any improvement in arm strength would be an obvious buoy. Late-round and undrafted quarterbacks often have a glass ceiling, save for the Tom Brady/Tony Romo division, because they usually have a skillset deficient in one particular area. No one's saying McElroy is suddenly going to develop into an out-of-nowhere, blue-chip steal for the Jets. The Jets, according to the beat writers, view McElroy as nothing but a backup and simply turned to him out of desperation in a sunken season. Still, a scout quoted in Dyer's article says McElroy would have been a top-four round QB with a stronger arm and it's not like the Jets have been head-on in their quarterback evaluations in the Tannenbaum era.
But I'll be particularly interested in McElroy's throws outside the numbers and (if they let him) down the field, seeing as those are two areas where Mark Sanchez struggled mightily. Who knows? Maybe McElroy will show some arm talent in addition to his tremendous intangibles and football smarts and the Jets will have themselves a developmental prospect. If nothing else, it gives Jets fans something to watch over the next two weeks.

Canon's optical expertise is clearly seen in the XF105's Genuine Canon 10x HD Video Lens. It delivers flexibility in image capture with a zoom range of 30.4 – 304mm (35mm equivalent).
Power zoom is available in Constant and Variable settings in 3 modes, Fast (approx. 1.9 – 60 seconds), Normal (approx. 3.0 – 180 seconds) and Slow (approx. 4.0 – 285 seconds). To provide added control, there are 16 predefined steps in Constant mode and rocker switch pressure sensitive or control ring speed management in Variable mode.
For enhanced versatility the XF105 offers a built-in gradation type neutral density (ND) filter (approximately 1/8), as well as an eight blade metal aperture iris.
A customizable manual control ring allows users to assign focus, zoom, or iris. These functions are easily selected through a switch on the lens barrel.
Additionally, a custom dial is available which allows the iris to be controlled.
SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer
The XF105 also incorporates a SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization system (lens shift) with four modes: Standard, Powered, Dynamic and Off.
Lens shift is controlled so that the maximum compensation angle is constant from wide angle through telephoto.
Vibration is suppressed at the telephoto end of the range, where shake is most apparent due to high magnification.
Stabilization changes throughout the zoom range to minimize more pronounced shaking. This is especially useful at wide-angle focal lengths when walking.
Instant AF
When shooting high definition video, sharp focus becomes more critical than ever. Canon's proprietary Instant AF system combines an external AF sensor with Canon's legendary auto focus system for fast and accurate focus. Together, the two sensors reduce focusing time - even in low-light, low contrast, or high brightness situations - and improve focusing performance on difficult subjects.
The XF105 gives you a choice of five AF modes for different shooting applications:
When shooting with the XF105, the minimum focus distance is 20mm (0.78 inches) at Macro and maintains 60cm (1.97 feet) throughout the entire zoom range. This allows excellent versatility in a wide range of shooting situations.
8-Blade Iris
In contrast to a typical 6-blade iris, the XF105's 8-blade iris captures extraordinarily smooth out-of-focus 'bokeh' for a more attractive image effect. The additional blades also reduce diffraction of light passing through the iris, allowing for the use of smaller apertures while maintaining image quality.
The Digital Teleconverter extends the reach of the optical zoom, and is selectable by 1.5x, 3x and 6x. This feature is ideal when extreme telephoto shooting is needed such as in sports and wildlife, as well as surveillance applications for law enforcement and the military.
Prices and specifications subject to change without notice. Actual prices are determined by individual dealers and may vary.
