Woman denies drug trafficking chargeApril 16,2014Woman denies
trafficking charges
A Brandon woman who told police she opened her home to a New York drug dealer to support her own addiction denied two felony charges in Rutland criminal court Monday.
Jamie L. Trinci, 28, pleaded innocent to counts of possessing crack cocaine and heroin trafficking. Judge Nancy Corsones set bail at $50,000 for Trinci, who was not listed on the states online inmate locator Tuesday night.
Trinci, who could face up to 35 years in jail if convicted of both offenses, was arrested in February after police executed a search warrant at her home at 43 Carver St.
In the home, Brandon Police say they seized 32 rocks of crack cocaine weighing a total of 12. 5 grams and 380 bags of heroin weighing a total of 12.12 grams.
During her arrest, Trinci allegedly told police that she had been hosting a drug dealer from Brooklyn, N.Y, at her home since she moved into the residence in November.
She said the dealer, who goes by the street name BL would package drugs at her home and give them to her to sell to people she knew.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A North Bennington man who had worked as a crossing guard for the Village School of...

Authorities have released video surveillance of two suspects whom they think are tied to a blaze at a Vineland law firm.
The video was taken Jan. 28 around 11:30 p.m., the same time the fire was reported. One of the individuals appears to be carrying a bag, which authorities think has a gasoline can inside. That individual and another walk on West Landis Avenue toward the law firm Helmer, Conley & Kasselman.
The two then run away, without the bag, two minutes later.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Just like that, the Indiana Pacers are talking about carrying momentum into the All-Star break.
The Pacers beat the Portland Trail Blazers 101-93 on Saturday night for their second straight victory. The small win streak is important because Indiana had lost seven in a row before beating New York on Wednesday. The Pacers are a half-game out of the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference race, despite being nine games below .500.
"It feels good," said Kareem Rush, who had his first career double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. "We came out and played a great game, played great defense down the stretch. Guys played big."
Danny Granger scored 29 points, Travis Diener had 15 points and nine assists and Jeff Foster added 10 points and 14 rebounds for the Pacers.
Granger shot 4-of-7 from 3-point range and made all nine free-throw attempts.
"I thought he had a perfect game," Portland coach Nate McMillan said.
LaMarcus Aldridge led Portland with 21 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out in the final minute. Martell Webster had 18 points and eight rebounds, and Jarrett Jack added 15 points and 10 assists for the Trail Blazers, who have lost three of four.
Portland All-Star guard Brandon Roy missed his second straight game after a death in his family.
The Pacers played short-handed, too. Indiana forward Mike Dunleavy did not return after halftime because of a bruised right knee. He hurt the knee in the first quarter and limped off the court, returned, and played five minutes in the second quarter before exiting for good with 11 points.
The Pacers still pulled out the win, but now face Boston on Tuesday and Detroit on Wednesday. Boston, even without Kevin Garnett, has the top record in the league. Detroit has the second-best record in the East.
"We know they're going to be tough games," Rush said. "We're riding a little high right now. We know Boston's coming in here short-handed, but they're going to put up a great fight. Detroit's always tough."
The Pacers led 51-48 at halftime, then started the second half with a 13-6 run that included six points by Troy Murphy to take a 64-54 lead. Portland committed nine turnovers in the third quarter to help the Pacers lead 71-63 at the end of the period.
"It comes down to the third quarter," McMillan said. "We had a ton of turnovers. We were playing too fast. We needed to calm down and slow down. You have to take care of the ball."
The Pacers led by 11 when Diener made a 3-pointer as the shot clock expired to make it 91-77 with just under six minutes to play.
"It was about time I made one," he said. "I just haven't been shooting well, but I'll keep shooting and eventually it'll fall."
Portland closed the margin to 99-93 on a floater by Travis Outlaw with just under a minute remaining, but the Trail Blazers didn't score again.
Fittingly, Rush got the final rebound for the Pacers. He shot 4-for-19 from the field, but his unexpected effort on the boards was a difference maker.
"Happy about that, but not happy about the way I shot," he said. "I missed a lot of wide-open shots I normally hit, but it's one of those games where you've got to contribute in other ways."
Indiana shot just 37 percent, but had 16 offensive rebounds and committed just seven turnovers.
"I think we gave up a lot of second and third chances at the basket," Jack said. "I don't know how many offensive rebounds Foster had, but I know he had a lot. Usually, when a team shoots a field-goal percentage like they did and wins the game, it means you're giving up a lot of offensive rebounds."
Diener said the Pacers won because everyone contributed on both offense and defense.
"It was a total team effort," he said. "That's how it's going to be if we win games We've just got to play together, play defense, then we'll win."
- Indiana C Jermaine O'Neal missed his 11th straight game with a bone bruise in his left knee.
- Indiana G Jamaal Tinsley sat out with a sore left knee. He has missed five of the team's past eight games.
- Portland C Greg Oden would have played his first professional game in his hometown, but he has missed the whole season after having knee surgery in September.
- Portland F Josh McRoberts, from nearby Carmel, Ind., did not play. He played a career-high 12 minutes against Detroit on Friday.
- The Pacers shot 30 percent in the first quarter.
- Granger has made 51 consecutive free throws.

Newport Beach police recruiting video goes viral
A Newport Beach Police Department recruiting video that was uploaded in 2008 to YouTube has gone viral and was mocked on news aggregator Huffington Post and other websites.
Huffington Post described the video this way: "In the action-packed police recruitment video (above), badass officers pull guns, scale walls and are armed with vicious dogs. Funny enough on its own, the cheeseball '80s-esque video is made golden by the fact that it's supposedly portraying the life of a cop in one of the ritziest beachside cities in Southern California - Newport Beach."
As described by the Huffington Post, the video "set to speed-chase-scene thumping music, portrays the Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD) as a merciless team of all-white men risking their lives to save yours."
Titled "Are You Qualified?," the video has been available on YouTube for four years and didn't elicit many comments until recently. It started attracting attention only after it was posted on The Agitator in early July. Watch video here.
The Agitator contrasted it with the recruiting video of the Police Department of Decatur, Ga., which shows police officers on bicycles waving to and talking with residents. "We are a very empathetic department," said Mike Booker, police chief, in the Decatur Police Department video.
In describing the two videos, Radley Balko of The Agitator wrote, "These are the videos each respective department has chosen to represent what being a cop is all about. They're the videos each department feels will appeal to candidates with the characteristics and traits that make for a good police officer. Let's assume two generic towns that are otherwise mostly similar. One town takes a Newport Beach approach to policing. The other takes a Decatur approach. In which town would you rather live?"
The Newport Beach Police Department declined to comment on the video.

New York Times bestselling author and all-time Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings delivers a characteristically engaging and surprisingly useful new book, revealing the truth behind all the terrible things our parents used to warn us about.
Don't cross your eyes or they'll stay like that!
Feed a cold, starve a fever!
Don't touch your Halloween candy until we get it checked out!
Never run with scissors
Don't look in the microwave while it's running!
This will go down on your permanent record
Is any of it true? If so, how true? Ken Jennings wants to find out if mother and father always know best. Yes, all those years you were told not to sit too close to the television (you'll hurt your eyes!) or swallow your gum (it stays in your stomach for seven years!) or crack your knuckles (arthritis!) are called into question by our country's leading trivia guru. Jennings separates myth from fact to debunk a wide variety of parental edicts: no swimming after meals, sit up straight, don't talk to strangers, and so on.
Armed with medical case histories, scientific findings, and even the occasional experiment on himself (or his kids), Jennings exposes countless examples of parental wisdom run amok. Whether you're a parent who wants to know what you can stop worrying about or a kid (of any age) looking to say, "I told you so," this is the anti–helicopter parenting book you've been waiting for.

Read an Excerpt
I was sitting in my parents' kitchen not long ago when my young son, Dylan, came whipping around the corner with a grape Tootsie Pop firmly clamped in his teeth.
"Whoa, slow down!" I said. "What if you tripped and fell on your face? The lollipop stick would get jammed right through the roof of your mouth!"
Dylan's eyes got wide. "Could that really happen?"
I had to admit, I had no idea. This was something my mother had told me repeatedly while I was growing up, but it's not like I'd ever dug into the relevant medical literature or consulted with surgeons. What do you do when a nine-year-old calls your bluff?
"Of course it's true!" I told him. "Go sit down at the table until you're done with your lollipop." Just like with terrorists and bears! You can't show any doubt or weakness!
I found my mom and asked her to back me up: it's true about lollipop sticks and horrific puncture wounds, right? She had no idea. "That's what Grandma used to tell us," she said. "I think it also happens in a Chaim Potok novel. The Chosen, maybe?"
I was horrified. A fact I'd confidently passed along to my trusting children turned out to be thirdhand rumor confirmed only by a novelist? (A novelist-slash-rabbi, but still. And it turns out the lollipop injury isn't in The Chosen, anyway. It's from In the Beginning.) What else had I been inadvertently misleading them about? Washing behind their ears? Chewing with their mouths closed? Was our whole life together a huge lie?
That's the dirty secret of parenting: it's a big game of Telephone stretching back through the centuries and delivering garbled, well-intended medieval bromides to the present. Possible misinformation like the lollipop thing never gets corrected; it just goes into hibernation for a few decades and then jumps out to snare a new generation, like a seventeen-year cicada. Parents find themselves in these factual blind alleys because they have no other resource than the dimly remembered thirty-year-old lectures of their own childhoods.
Until now! In this book, I've compiled 125 of the nagging Mom- and Dad-isms that we all grew up with, and then I've meticulously researched the scientific evidence behind them. On some, I'm happy to deliver a clear-cut verdict one way or another: either confirming them as "True" or debunking them as "False." More often, though, the truth falls somewhere in between: true with an "if," false with a "but." Some of these parental clichés turn out to be accidentally right for the wrong reason (see "Eat your crusts, that's where the vitamins are!" on page 90 or "Never wake a sleepwalker!" on page 165). Others are time-tested and unimpeachably sensible . . . but still don't always hold up well in real life (see "Don't talk to strangers!" on page 57). So there are plenty of "Mostly False" and "Possibly True" verdicts in here as well.
Much of the gray area is a matter of risk assessment. Human beings, as a rule, are terrible students of probability. As a result, we develop paranoid, nightmare-inducing phobias about the unlikeliest things (plane crashes, strangers kidnapping our kids) while ignoring far more pressing risks (heart disease, car accidents). I've used the best statistics available to try to help you gauge the relative risks of different childhood activities, whether that's going outside barefoot or swallowing gum or running with scissors, but the final decision is always going to be a judgment call—like so many other elements of parenting, an art and not a science.
Take my mom's lollipop fear, for example. There is a fair bit of medical research on "pediatric oropharyngeal trauma," which is what doctors call it when kids bash up their mouths on some foreign object. A 2006 study out of Edmonton estimated that fully 1 percent of childhood injuries are oropharyngeal traumas, and another study from Pittsburgh's Children's Hospital found that puncture wounds were indeed common outcomes. Twenty-nine percent of the injuries were serious: a large laceration, or a fistula (eww) or mucosal flap (don't know what that is, but double eww). Brain damage and death are extremely rare complications, but both have happened.
So clearly I was justified in telling my son to sit down while finishing his lollipop, right? Well, maybe and maybe not. The Pittsburgh study also notes that most cases are minor and heal with no medical intervention at all, and then runs down the items that are most likely to cause this kind of trauma. Lollipops were one of the rarest culprits, causing less than 3 percent of the injuries studied and vastly outnumbered by pencils, musical instruments, toys, sticks, and so on. The hospital treated just one lollipop case every two years, on average. Meanwhile, the Tootsie Pop company alone makes twenty million lollipops per day. I guarantee that lots of those lollipops get eaten by kids on the go—and yet injuries are rare. So the numbers suggest that, compared to lots of other common day-to-day activities, eating-a-lollipop-not-sitting-down isn't terribly reckless. There's a fine line between making kids cautious about dangerous horseplay and just making them panicky about totally normal stuff, like moving around with a pencil or harmonica or something in their mouths.
Parents love their kids, of course, and would like to keep them safe from everything. But even if that were an achievable goal—and it's not—it might not be great in the long run for the poor kids involved. A 2009 Time magazine cover package on "helicopter parents" followed the first wave of hypercushioned, overparented American children into adulthood, and the results were depressing: mommy webcams in college dorms, employers like Ernst & Young preparing "parent packets" for the pushy parents of new twentysomething hires. By trying to protect our kids from every little thing, we may have created a generation of kids and young adults who don't feel confident about anything. So the risks need to be measured against the rewards. What if there's a 0.95 percent chance that a kid who bikes to school will get in a wreck, but a 95 percent chance that a kid who's not allowed to bike to school will grow up more tentative, complacent, lazy, and/or unhappy, because riding your bike to school is awesome? I feel like those percentages might not be that far off.
So I hope this book serves as a reality check for potentially jittery parents. But even if you don't have kids right now, you presumably were (or even are) one yourself. In that case, I hope this book helps inoculate you against the crazy things parents somehow still believe—and when you take away the authoritative intonation, lots of parental wisdom is pretty nuts. Put butter on a burn? Wear a hat if your feet are cold? Drink eight glasses of water a day? Is that even possible?
If you really want to know how silly much of our parental nagging sounds, ask someone from a different culture what parents harp on there. My Korean friends weren't allowed to sleep with an electric fan in their rooms, because a fan, they were told, would somehow asphyxiate them while they slept. In Russia, kids are warned not to sit on cold surfaces, or they'll freeze their gonads and wind up sterile. Germans and Czechs hear from a young age that they should never drink water after eating fruit, or they'll get a bellyache. Filipino children don't get to wear red when it's stormy, because red clothing attracts lightning. A friend's Iranian mother used to warn her against ever inhaling a cat hair. If you get one caught in your throat, she said, you'll just keep vomiting repeatedly until you die. I'm not poking fun at these superstitions—I just want you to realize how ridiculous our own old wives' tales would sound to someone who's never heard them before. Wait an hour after eating to swim? If you cross your eyes, they might stay that way? How, an outsider might wonder, does anyone actually believe this stuff?
And yet there are times when the oddest and the oldest bits of parental folklore turn out to be true. There are now studies showing that cold, wet feet might indeed help cause a cold and that chicken soup can fight one. Double-dipping potato chips does spread germs. Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. Occasionally, Mom knew what she was talking about.
I've intentionally limited this book to propositions that can easily be tested scientifically, by doctors and statisticians and so forth. I've tried to back away slowly from vaguer points of parental philosophy: minefields like homeschooling, circumcision, co-sleeping, TV banning. Anything your weird sister-in-law is always talking about on Facebook is out, basically. Sadly, I also had to avoid areas where the science is still hotly debated and inconclusive, which meant leaving out a lot of very modern parental worries: video games and social media and whatnot. In twenty years, maybe I can write a sequel in which we finally find out what was up with phthalates in plastic toys, predators on the Internet, and cell phones causing cancer. But I'm not sure how long that will take—TV is over sixty years old and experts still disagree on how that affects kids. So don't hold your breath. (Holding your breath for too long is bad for you, according to a broad scientific consensus.)
I know there's no way one book can stamp out all the lies parents tell their kids. You're still going to have safety lies ("The car won't run unless your seat belts are on!") and cheapskate lies ("Honey, when the ice cream man is playing music, it means his truck is all out of ice cream") and sympathy lies ("We sent your hamster to live on a farm") and keep-your-kids-out-of-therapy lies ("We love you both exactly the same!"). But the accidental lies should be easier to tackle. It's time to shine the cold, hard light of truth onto controversial behaviors like sitting too close to the TV, eating toothpaste, and sneezing with your eyes open.
It's not too late! Future generations will thank us.

This book was so well written. I learned many truths behind the things my parents/family told me growing up, while also enjoying a well written joke on almost every page. Was well worth the money.
Author Ken Jennings is the Jeopardy! contestant who held an incredibly long 74-game winning streak back in 2004. His book Because I Said So! is the Snopes of "parental folklore," covering a multitude of common things parents have said to their children, generation after generation. Jennings explores these statements one by one, revealing what science has to say about each. He also looks into how some of the myths originated, which I found fascinating. Many statements turn out to be urban legends and old wives' tales, but a number of them are declared truth. Jennings ends each topic with a verdict (True, Mostly True, Mostly False, or False) and gives alternate solutions and suggestions for those he debunks. He shows his sense of humor, too: Popsicles by the pool? Fine. Peach vodka popsicles? Maybe less so. I do think the book ended too suddenly. After the final "verdict," there were no closing or summarizing thoughts, only "This concludes Because I Said So!. Please visit our website..." That felt odd to me. Ken Jennings has a very pleasant voice and speaks clearly. He also speaks quickly. Personally, I appreciated that, but once in a while he gets on a roll and it's almost too fast. If you prefer a slower pace when you listen, you may want to hear a sample before buying. Jennings kept my interest throughout the duration of the audiobook (about 5 hours), and I actually found it difficult to hit the pause button. The amount of time spent on each topic was perfect. If you enjoy trivia, popular science, or tend to question the things people say, I'm sure you'll enjoy Because I Said So! as much as I did.
Enjoyable read

Today, I had a softball team dinner, and I was sitting with a bunch of girls who were talking about how far they've gone with guys. One girl goes "I must be the least experienced one here, I've never even kissed a guy!" Surprised, I said "me too!" and high-fived her. She was joking. I wasn't. FML

Damien Rice Ticket Information
Roughly a decade before the launch of his solo career, Irish rocker Damien Rice got his first taste of the music industry as a member of the band Juniper. Though the group was generally well-received, Rice ultimately left in 1998, and following years spent away from music altogether, he eventually went on to release his debut solo album, "O," in 2002, which is perhaps best known for containing the notable tracks "Cannonball," "The Blower's Daughter," and "Volcano." Rice's follow-up, "9," peaked at No. 1 in his native Ireland, though despite the success, it would be another eight years before fans got their hands on his next album, "My Favourite Faded Fantasy." Secure a spot at a venue near you to experience this talented act live with a purchase of Damien Rice tickets from the Vivid Seats marketplace.

State of College Baseball
Andrew Mitchell profile
First things first in this week's projections, fans are always interested to see which conferences had the most bids, and in what order. Well, here's the breakdown this week: SEC (8), ACC (8), Sun Belt (4), Big East (4), Pac-12 (4), Big 10 (3), Big West (3), Big 12 (3), WCC (3), Big South (2), CAA (2), Conference USA (2). The rest of the conferences, including the Atlantic Sun, which appeared to be a possible three-bid league a few weeks ago, have just one postseason bid.
The race for the final couple of NCAA Regional host sites is rather interesting to say the least. This week, Arizona State and Arkansas have the final two host spots, but those are far from certain at this point, and the next two weeks could change the game. With that said, let's analyze those two teams, and some others in the mix.
The Razorbacks have one of the more intriguing situations we've seen in a few seasons. The Hogs, on the surface, don't seem like a host-worthy team with an RPI of 44. However, the rest of their resume is host-worthy. For instance, the Hogs are clearly third in the SEC with an impressive 17-9 league mark. Additionally, they're 7-7 vs. RPI Top 25, 13-10 vs. RPI Top 50 and 16-15 vs. RPI Top 100. As of now, the NCAA committee would have to determine what's more important: Being third in the SEC, or having an RPI of 44?
Arizona State:
Just a year removed from a postseason ban, the Sun Devils are potentially in the mix nail down a host spot with a strong finish the final two weekends of the regular season. ASU still has work to do to feel very secure, though. The big thing working against ASU right now is the fact the Pac-12 only has four at-large bids with Stanford and Arizona continuing to struggle. That means, as of now, the NCAA Selection Committee, we're predicting, would give the league host sites to all four teams in the postseason. With that said, the Sun Devils have a solid resume. They're 17 in the latest NCAA RPI, they have a 14-10 league mark, and they're 5-4 vs. RPI Top 25, 7-4 vs. RPI Top 50 and 17-9 vs. RPI Top 100.
Two more to watch:
Keep close tabs on Kansas State and South Alabama this week and in their respective conference tournaments, as both have curious cases. The Wildcats lead the Big 12, have an impressive overall record and are 22 in the latest RPI. However, the Wildcats don't have an overly impressive resume with no wins vs. RPI Top 25, 6-8 mark vs. RPI Top 50 clubs and 20-12 vs. RPI Top 100. In KSU's case, the committee could decide to far outweigh Big 12 results vs. overall postseason resume. As for the Jaguars, they have representation on the committee and lead the Sun Belt with an impressive overall record. Resume-wise, the Jaguars are 0-2 vs. RPI Top 25, 6-8 vs. RPI Top 50 and 13-11 vs. RPI Top 100.
We're liking how the top eight national seeds stack up right now, but if things change, some teams to keep an eye on include North Carolina State, South Carolina, and possibly even Clemson if the Tigers can take a road series over Florida State this weekend. The Wolfpack certainly took a step back over the weekend with a home series loss to FSU. However, they still have a solid overall resume with an 11-8 mark vs. RPI Top 25, 18-10 mark vs. RPI Top 50 and 22-12 record vs. RPI Top 100. Meanwhile, South Carolina has an RPI of 11 with a 4-7 record vs. RPI Top 25, 10-10 mark vs. RPI Top 50 and 20-12 record vs. RPI Top 100. Then there's Clemson, which has an 8-10 record vs. RPI Top 25, 17-12 vs. RPI Top 50 and 21-13 vs. RPI Top 100. Something to think about here as we move forward, too, is the fact the NCAA Selection Committee is likely to only give the ACC three national seeds, not a potential fourth at this point.
Here are some interesting RPI moves in this week's NCAA Official RPI: Up -- Auburn (+22 to 28), Campbell (+11, 29), Seton Hall (+8, 34), Florida Atlantic (+10, 47), Creighton (+26, 48), Sam Houston State (+14, 51), Bryant (+19, 69), Memphis (+25, 85), Down -- Michigan State (-10, 38), Notre Dame (-11, 42), Alabama (-11, 43), Rice (-9, 46), Central Arkansas (-32, 75), West Virginia (-18, 86).

After seeing its NCAA hopes on life support following disheartening back-to-back losses, Villanova came face-to-face with arguably the hottest team in the nation Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center and returned to the hunt for a coveted bid.
The Wildcats got to the free-throw line at will against fifth-ranked Georgetown; forced 23 turnovers; kept Big East player of the year candidate Otto Porter from taking over the game; and notched their third victory this season over a top-five team, a 67-57 win over the Hoyas.
In their regular-season finale, the Wildcats (19-12, 10-8 Big East) broke Georgetown's 11-game winning streak and picked up their fourth win against a top-25 team.

To the Editor.—
I was very disappointed that Dr Lowitz neglected to mention the most important reason for encouraging smoking (235: 804, 1976). It is obvious that cancer is good for you. It is the greatest advancement ever in preventive medicine, since it prevents old age, senility, arteriosclerosis, strokes, loss of memory, and other debilitations. I am certain that Dr Lowitz is anxious to have this oversight corrected.

College students learn to be wary of personal care products
Would you wash your hair with formaldehyde or sanitize your hands with pesticides? If you don't read product labels, you might be doing just that.
The organizational leadership/sustainability studies graduate program at Mercyhurst University has partnered with Pennsylvania Sea Grant to launch Fresh Face Forward, a yearlong campaign to raise awareness on campus about toxic chemicals that can be found in many cosmetics and personal care products (PCPs).
To shed light on the issue, a team of graduate students led by associate professor Anne Zaphiris, Ph.D., developed Fresh Face Forward in hopes of changing habits of young consumers. A 2013 survey of Mercyhurst students ranging in age from 18-24 revealed that, on average, young women use 11 personal care products daily, while young men use seven.
The Fresh Face Forward team aims to increase awareness among college students about this issue by 40 percent during the 2013-14 academic year. "What you put on your body impacts your health and the environment, but this issue hasn't become mainstream because we're not talking about it enough," said Zaphiris.
The campaign includes lectures and guest speakers, educational posters and displays, a weekly column called "Beauty Talks," and "No Makeup Mondays," where faculty, staff and students pledge to go makeup-free every Monday during the academic year. The team has also compiled a recipe book of homemade beauty and personal-care products.
Students involved include graduate students Elissa Reitz, Alyssa Littin, Amanda Martin and Javi Cubillos Caroca; undergraduate Leann Krysiak, a communications major; and sustainability officer Brittany Prischak. Courtney Olevnik, a graduate of the organizational leadership program, and Valentina Carrillo, a graphic design major, also contributed to the campaign.
For more information, visit freshfaceforward.org to find educational information about the top 15 toxic chemicals to avoid, student blogs and suggestions for safe alternatives. Funding comes from a Great Lakes Sea Grant Network award from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative of the U.S.
ANNA McCARTNEY, a communications and education specialist for Pennsylvania Sea Grant, can be reached by e-mail at email@example.com.

Jordan would be the JORDAN player of the game key clew his last name
if this were legit kobe and jordan would just go 1 on 1 the whole damn time
Why do some people think Hall of Fame is the most realistic difficulty. Its not, there's a CPU advantage! The CPU is given slider boosts to make the game harder.

I should try this to, I never tried it on this game..
Michael Jordan was the Jordan player the game…ironic
You dont wanna drive when theres Patrick Ewing and Robertson There Lol.
the dream team will dominate in real life
alll kobe does ball hogs i cant watch anymore:(
Horrible Defense Bye usa so far 2nd quarter
ole skool beats new skool
lebron was passing the ball to much he should have just drove to the paint that is why they lost
Good game, Kobe was on lock, if dey had Howard the game would've went to team USA
Kobes % was horrible at the end of the game, if he had done more they would have probably won
Michael Jordan abused Kobe in this game i think it made kobes offence suffer …let LeBron hold him
I didn't watch the whole vid who won? dream team! should

I haven't been able to draw an Arizona Bull Elk tag yet, so, I thought I would put in for an Archery Cow tag this year. The draw success rate is much better, but I have a problem if I get drawn. What is the best way to hunt Cow Elk? Can you call them in to you in the early season? They aren't Bulls, so how do you most effectively increase your odds for getting a cow in close? Any help would be greatly appreciated and a help for others even if I don't get the tag this year either.

Ratings snapshot reveals Milwaukee radio trends, sort of
Math is not my strong suit. And yet I'm faced with a multitude of fractions, decimals, percentages, frequency (FM) and amplitude (AM) modulations and average quarter-hour shares when reporting radio ratings and dial locations.

Happy Bloomsday, dear readers. June 16 is the date the action takes place in James Joyce's novel "Ulysses," so Joyceans around the world celebrate it as a literary holiday.
One of the things I love about "Ulysses" is its one-day-in-the-life structure, which led me a few years ago to write about a bunch of one-day novels, which David Leon Higdon and others have dubbed circadian novels. Many contemporary circadian novels owe some debt of inspiration to either "Ulysses" or to Virginia Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway," if not both. »Read Full Blog Post
American Players Theatre begins its season in 'Earnest'
In a season during which so many of the nine plays on tap involve the tension between civilization and its discontents — as the pretty stories we're told to believe do battle with how we actually feel — could American Players Theatre possibly have chosen a better introduction than Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest?"
Nothing comes to mind — and after watching the smashing opening night performance this past weekend in APT's outdoor amphitheater, I'm confident nothing will. Director William Brown and his all-star cast land all the expected laughs in Wilde's witty play, while also delivering plenty of scrumptious food for thought. »Read Full Article

Christian Slater, Anthony Quinn
It would be tough under the best circumstances to tolerate the moral bankruptcy shown by a film that makes heroes of the reprehensible gangsters "Lucky" Luciano, Frank Costello, "Bugsy" Siegel and Meyer Lansky. No doubt the next project for the creators of this movie—producer Steve Roth, director Michael Karbelnikoff and writers Mike Mahern and Nicholas Kazan—will be equally tasteful. Something on the camaraderie among Hitler and his boys, maybe.
Compunctions aside, though, this movie is so choppily edited, droningly paced and, in many cases, wretchedly acted that it never seems more than The Godfather's Boys Auxiliary.
Patrick Dempsey and Richard Grieco—flyweight actors on their good days—play young Lansky and Siegel. (Hearing Dempsey say, "We gotta get tough," brings to mind Huntz Hall in the Bowery Boys films.) The marginally stronger Slater is Luciano. Costas Mandylor, whose main trait is looking like Aidan Quinn, is Costello.
"At first we was penny-ante," says Slater in a voice-over. "Then we grew." That's all the explication there is as the quartet make a dizzyingly instantaneous transition from New York City street punks into ambitious gangsters. Then they sashay through a tedious series of negotiations with their elders in crime, F. Murray Abraham as Arnold Rothstein, and Anthony Quinn and Michael Gambon (PBS's The Singing Detective) as fictional crooks. Abraham and Quinn offer some substance, anyway—helped by Twin Peaks' Lara Flynn Boyle as Slater's girlfriend.
Gambon, though, has problems with his Italian accent. Worse is Nicholas Sadler as hitman "Mad Dog" Coll; he cackles hysterically and goes mega-psycho every five seconds or so.
The violence is plentiful, graphic and dumb. After a movieful of quadruple crosses, one supposedly savvy mobster is rubbed out as he sits unguarded in a restaurant while one of his archrivals goes to the men's room.
Karbelnikoff, whose previous experience has been in commercials and whose attention span shows it, goes from one confrontation to another, tossing in gangland-activity montages that could have been lifted from The Untouchables TV series.
To say that production designer Richard Sylbert, costume designer Ellen Mirojnick and cinematographer Lajos Koltai give the settings a handsome, authentic look is like saying that the Titanic had nice chandeliers. (R)

When the United States host Panama in Seattle on Tuesday night, it will be a brilliant opportunity for the United States to go atop the group with half of their Hexagonal games in the bag.
In other words, anything less than a win will be a major disappointment and a golden chance wasted. It may be far from a must-win situation, but three points on Tuesday would put the team in a very comfortable position to qualify for the World Cup.
After four games, the United States are in solid position on the table, considering four of their last six games are at home. Here's the current table:
