In the downtown of Enterprise, Alabama, population 37,000, there stands the world's only known monument to an agricultural pest -- the boll weevil.
The monument was erected in 1919, just a few years after the beetle had migrated from places further south and west and decimated much of Coffee County's cotton crop, bankrupting many farmers.
City fathers honored the small cotton-eating critter not because it devastated their economy, but because it forced them to diversify and improve their economy.
"In profound appreciation of the Boll Weevil and what it has done as the herald of prosperity this monument was erected by the citizens of Enterprise, Coffee County, Alabama," the inscription reads.
Farmers switched from growing cotton to peanuts, which were unaffected by the pest, and the economy soared.
The city's website says "the Boll Weevil Monument is a symbol of man's willingness and ability to adjust to adversity."
There's bound to be a lesson for West Virginia in the boll weevil story. The state has long depended -- and with good reason -- on the production and use of coal for much of its economic livelihood.
Yet, while West Virginia shouldn't give up on the coal industry -- not now, not in the near future, and probably not ever -- the state certainly needs to provide a continuous push to diversify its economy from too much reliance on any one product.
West Virginia's economy has been diversified before when the manufacture of glass, steel and chemicals produced not only those products, but thousands of good paying jobs and revenue. And state officials have been working to diversify -- Senator Jay Rockefeller's recruitment of the Toyota manufacturing plant and the state's push for science and research as examples -- yet state officials and entrepreneurs must never let up.
And while state officials must help, it's not up to government to choose what types of businesses get spawned, grow and thrive.
State residents must insist on a creative economic environment where new ideas are encouraged, new concepts can grow, and businesses -- small and large, local, national and international -- can thrive through low taxes, reasonable regulation and an inquisitive and accepting marketplace.
No need to design a monument to honor Environmental Protection Agency administrator Gina McCarthy, but growing a diverse economy regardless of the outlook for the coal industry will be a nice honor for all West Virginia citizens.

The NHL announced yesterday their Three Stars of the week, for the week ending January 27th.
The First Star of the week went to San Jose Sharks winger Patrick Marleau. Marleau started the season on a tear. He became 2nd player in NHL history to start the season with four consecutive multi-goal games. Cy Denneny in 1917-18 was the only other player to accomplish the feat. Marleau finished with the week with nine goals and four assists for 13 points. Three of Marleau's nine goals were game winners. The Shark power play was a key factor into Marleau's hot start. Nine of his 13 points came on the power play, with five goals and assists.
Corey Crawford of the Chicago Blackhawks was the NHL's Second Star. Crawford backstopped the Blackhawks to an undefeated start of the season, posting a 5-0-0 record in their first six games. He posted a 1.78 goals against average and .933 save percentage. Crawford allowed only nine goals on 134 shots in victories over the Kings, Blues, Stars, Blue Jackets and Red Wings.
Martin St. Louis of the Tampa Bay Lightning was the NHL's Third Star of the week. St. Louis scored three goals and recorded eight assists for 11 points, which is good enough for third in league scoring. Four points came on the power play, two goals and two assists. One of his three goals was a game winner.
HONORABLE MENTIONS – SportsCity.com opinion
Our honorable mentions could have easily replaced the NHL's 2nd and 3rd Stars in our opinion.
Joe Thornton (SJ) – Thornton deserves some credit for Marleau's hot start. Thornton is tied with Marleau for the lead in scoring with 13 points. He has three goals and 10 assists. On the power play, Thornton tallied two goals and added seven assists.
Craig Anderson (Ott) – Anderson is leading all goaltenders with a 0.74 goals against average and .975 save percentage. Anderson was 3-0-1 for the week with one shutout. He allowed only three goals on 119 shots.

text: Hey guys Ive recently been trying to help my roommate out with his 09 WRX which has gone through 5 new OEM clutch flywheels in under 70k miles. I'm pretty handy with working on my own car but the subaru confuses me and I don't know much about it. Right now its making a horrible cracking sound when you press the clutch( with the car on or off) so I'm guessing its a cracked pressure plate. But even so why would his clutch be burning out so often? Is there something I should check on the master cylinder? I am also advising him to move away from OEM parts and start doing some mods on his car, I love driving it myself and I'm sure these things are beasts with some work in em. What would you all suggest as far as aftermarket flywheels? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to working on something not German

Sweeping Mexico energy reform may stumble in Congress
By David Alire Garcia and Adriana Barrera
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's incoming government will send a wide-reaching energy reform bill to Congress in the first half of 2013, but it is braced for the prospect of accepting a watered-down version that would likely deter investment by oil majors.
President-elect Enrique Pena Nieto wants to shake up the sector by opening up state oil monopoly Pemex to more private investment, hoping it will help boost production.
But as a feisty debate in Congress over a labor reform bill has shown, Pena Nieto may struggle in a divided Congress to secure a constitutional reform needed to forge ahead with the deep changes he wants to make.
Changing the constitution, which is necessary to allow foreign companies to take a stake in the country's ample hydrocarbon reserves and for Pemex to enter into joint ventures, requires a two-thirds majority vote in Congress.
Sen. David Penchyna, leader of the energy committee in the Mexican Senate and a member of Pena Nieto's Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, has hedged his bets.
"Right now, over there in that drawer I can take out, without exaggerating, six different proposed models, some with constitutional reforms, some without," Penchyna, a senator from Mexico's eastern Hidalgo state and former national PRI spokesman, said in an interview this week.
"Does a constitutional framework give greater certainty? Yes," he added. "But ... the sector is so attractive and profitable even without constitutional changes."
Mexico, the world's No. 7 oil producer, nationalized its energy industry in 1938 and it remains a powerful symbol of national self-sufficiency. Continued...

Christina did fine this season in the big scheme of things but it wasn't exactly a break out season either. Neither for Agnes but they are both skaters to watch in the next years. It is impressive that they both have 3-3. I wish Christina didn't have such a problematic 2a and that her skating was a bit more engaging.
I would never count her out but there is a lot there that needs to improve. I think it could really go both ways for her. She could break out sometime over the next years or be just a another skater.
Can't wait to watch the WJC videos though

Transforming the Cell Phone
It was back in 2002 that Dov Moran first began grumbling to friends about the modern cell phone. Why couldn't his phone suddenly sprout a keyboard and a large display on days when he needed to respond to a lot of e-mail? Why couldn't the phone shrink into a tiny little thing when he didn't? Why couldn't it…?
Well, now it can. On Feb. 7, Moran's new company, modu, unveiled a tiny new cell phone that can work on its own or be slipped into assorted "jackets" that transform it into different types of devices. Slide it into a jacket with a 3½-inch screen, and the device turns into a media player perfect for watching movies. Slip it into an iPod-like sleeve, and modu becomes a music player with dedicated buttons and a screen for album art.
From Personalization to Customization
modu is just one of several companies, including Sony Ericsson , that are exploring the market potential for "modular" cell phones made of detachable components that can be snapped on or off to suit specific needs. If they gain traction, this Lego-like approach would bring a sudden burst of customization to an industry where personalization has amounted to little more than detachable face plates to change a phone's color.
There would appear to be demand among cell phone users. A recent survey by CommScore (SCOR) found that 41% of the 18- to 24-year-olds and about a third of the 25- to 34-year-olds said personalization of cell phones was important. But for now, whether modular design will prove to be the next big thing in wireless is a big unknown. "We need to see how carriers respond," says Tim Luke, an analyst with Lehman Brothers (LEH).
The modu phone module, which weighs only 1.3 ounces and is smaller than a credit card, could conceivably serve as a sidekick to much more than handheld devices. It could, for example, be slipped into a bedstand alarm clock to display incoming text (SMS) messages. Inserted in a car's dashboard, modu could allow for hands-free calling over the stereo system or provide an address book for the car's GPS navigation system. Slipped into a laptop, modu could provide mobile Internet access. modu says Philips Electronics has shown interest in developing compatible products. Efforts to reach Philips for comment were not immediately successful. "This is the tip of the iceberg," says Moran. "This is a way to provide communications capability to any device."
Bringing modu to Market
Moran, who previously founded a flash memory business that he sold to SanDisk (SNDK) for $1.55 billion in 2006, has sold some impressive investors on his concept, starting with SanDisk. The firm, also backed by Genesis Partners and Gemini Capital Fund Management, hopes to raise more funding this year and go public in 2009. Moran also has cleared a difficult hurdle in the wireless industry by convincing some mobile service providers to offer the new device to their customers. modu says Telecom Italia Mobile, Israel's Cellcom, and Russia's VimpelCom will launch the phone in October. The company hopes the phone will arrive in the U.S. in early 2009, but no carrier deals have been announced.
Still, it's not exactly an easy market that modu is traying to invade. The launch comes at a time when Motorola is stumbling against the ropes and looking possibly to sell off its cell phone business. Meanwhile even phone makers that seem to be thriving are scrambling to differentiate their designs to better compete with Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and bracing for competition from new devices based on Android, Google's (GOOG) new mobile software platform.
Yet it's clear that modu may be onto something. On Jan. 31, Sony Ericsson filed a patent for a phone whose parts can be detached and reattached to create different configurations. The various modules can also communicate with each other on a wireless basis while detached so that, for example, you could leave the bulkier part in a pocket or bag while you take a call on a smaller piece with a display. While the company has yet to announce any commercial modular products, "it's a very forward-looking [peek] at what potential [devices] could look like," says Jon Mulder, a product marketing manager at Sony Ericsson.
In fact, modu won't be the first modular phone on the market. Willcom, an Asian cellular carrier controlled by the Carlyle Group, introduced a modular handset back in 2006. The basic phone comes with six modules, including a global positioning system, a fingerprint reader, and a camera that can be snapped on and off as needed. Another startup named Bug Labs plans this year to introduce up to 20 different interconnecting consumer electronics modules. "What we are really trying to do is turn the consumer-electronics industry on its ear," says Bug Labs founder Peter Semmelhack. "Why can't anyone build whatever electronics they want? Anybody can snap together the hardware. My six-year-old should be able to do it."
Domino Theory
modu says it will initially bundle two jackets with the phone module and sell the package for about $200, though some carriers might offer discounts. Later on the company expects to introduce other jackets with different functions for $20 to $60 each.
The main module is made of stainless steel so as to resist scratches when inserted into jackets. It features a small screen but no typical dial pad. Instead its black front sports seven buttons marked with domino-like dots which, when pressed, allow the user to scroll through menus and initiate and end calls. "Usually people call using the address book," says Itay Sharman, modu's CTO. "They only need to select, not dial."
The modu was designed with help from Lunar Design , which has created phones for the likes of Pantech and Motorola (MOT). The design was inspired by a black domino piece. "A domino is simple, familiar, memorable," says John Edson, president of Lunar Design. "Our goal was to create something where, when you saw it, you said, I know exactly what this is."

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Step 2) "Reference Check" -- An adoption volunteer will call your references and your Vet to discuss your potential adoption with them
Step 3) "Getting to Know You" -- The Volunteer will call/e-mail you to discuss your lifestyle and family to determine which greyhound is best suited for your home
Step 4) "Home Visit" -- The Volunteer will come to your home to complete the "Home Visit." This is for safety purposes only, and we appreciate you allowing us to give you suggestions as to how to make your home safer for your new family member.
Step 5) "Dog Arrival" -- The Volunteer will schedule a time to bring the dog to your home. The Volunteer will ensure you and the dog are comfortable. At this time we will collect the $200 adoption fee and hold until the adoption is finalized, if during the trial period you feel a greyhound is not for you, the check will be returned to you when we come to pick up the dog.
Step 6) "Trial Period and Follow Up" -- We will call/email you several times during the first 2 weeks to ensure you and your new greyhound are adjusting well.
Step 7) "Adoption Day" -- After the two week trial period, if everyone is comfortable the adoption is finalized by completing the GPA Adoption Contract. At this time ownership of the dog is officially transferred, including Vet Records, Proof of Heartworm medication, and your payment receipt.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Kilimanjaro, Day 1
Things I discovered today:
- Tanzania is really far from Portland.
- The Sahara desert looks amazing from an airplane
- It is hot and sweaty, even at night, in northern Tanzania
- Kikiwete, incumbent president, won the elections on Sunday, and there seems to be little controversy. All of the road projects started before the elections, however, have come to a grinding halt. Including the road to Tudeley Estates, where piles of dirt force you to drive off into the bush to pass.
- I am currently on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, however I haven't caught a glimpse yet.
I haven't slept in about 30 hours, so this will have to do!

The web has been awash of late with buzz about the health benefits of standing at a desk (especially how sitting jobs undercut the good we do exercising); a New York Times piece on these findings is linked to by several Lifehacker posts about how to create a standing desk affordably.
I tried it in our Agile SCRUM room, and there's truth behind the buzz! Several weeks now of standing at my desk, I am experiencing much improved focus, energy, and endurance, from no longer slouching and breathing shallowly in a chair. No lower back pain or cut-off circulation to my legs. Time will tell how it aids weight loss, but it can only help. Ergonomics seem better, as I maintain a clear 90-degree angle, mouse-arm to body.
Better yet, I tried it without any significant reorganization or investment:
Purchased items in my configuration, if you're curious:
- $20 - Shoe shelf
- $3 - .5-inch-wide rubber weatherstrip (applied to shelf bottom)
- $25 - Anti-fatigue mat
- $35 - Swivel work stool (rarely used, in fact)
Here are some things that I found helped:
- I cut the anti-fatigue mat in half and stacked the halves: twice the cushion and still ample room.
- The weatherstrip along the bottom edges of the shelf is working very well to add cushioning and prevent slipping when I lean on it. Yet no adhesive touches the desk: I can remove the shelf in a heartbeat, and there are no marks or damage.
- Keeping the monitors on the desk but rotated up for angled viewing feels less stressful and more natural than having them raised up to head height.
- The keyboard "podium" doesn't really cost me desk space, as the lower shelves offer good places to stash headsets and papers.
- I keep the right edge of the desk lighted with a desk lamp for occasional sitting and longhand writing/drawing.
- It's all about the shoes. I think I've had no need of my stool because I wear MBTs exculsively.
Many thanks to my coworker Melissa Burpo, for being the first to improvise a standing desk in our office and inspiring me!

The Surviving Parents Coalition's specific purpose is to advocate for legislative initiatives that further our mission such as:
* Public Awareness
* Child Safety Education Initiatives
* Youth and Young Adult Safety Education and Empowerment
* Promoting expansion of DNA Laws nationwide
* Promote best-practices to support law enforcement in responding to predatory crimes.
This is a group of parents who have gone through every parent's worst nightmare. We honor our children by creating awareness and improving laws for child protection and safety. Many of us started our activism alone but together we are empowered to create a comprehensive approach to stop predatory crimes nationwide. Through our legislative efforts we aim to significantly improve public awareness about prevention as well as legislative progress, facilitate hands-on safety education in schools for children through young adults and promote best practices for law enforcement and communities in responding to predatory crimes. We welcome you to join the SPC, hopefully not as a Surviving Parent, but as a Friend and Family member who wants to help us protect all of our children.
The SPC has two (2) types of members: Parent Members and Friends & Family Members. No more than one (1) membership may be held by any one person.
Parent Members are surviving parents of a child who was a victim of (predatory) abduction or sexual abuse. Parent Members have voting rights for the Board of Directors and are the driving force behind the SPC's legislative initiatives.

When Katy Haney-Madlock serves her family potato pie and watergate salad for dinner, she's also dishing up memories of her grandmother, who passed away two years ago. Cooking Granny's recipes is just one of the ways that Katy helps keep the happier times in focus for herself and her two children, Kabrea and Kartier, who were 10 and 15 when their great-grandmother died.
It's hard, Haney-Madlock says, but it is possible.
Dealing with death is difficult for anyone, but it can be especially traumatizing for children who suddenly must cope with a gaping hole in the family—often without understanding why. But by speaking openly about death, encouraging kids to express their emotions and keeping the memory of the grandparent alive, parents can help their children survive this rough time, say experts and families.
Speak openly, honestly
Talking honestly to children about death is an essential coping tool, says psychologist Carol Gordon of Arlington Heights, who works with children, adolescents and adults. "It's important to explain things at the child's level and then allow them to ask as many questions as they have," she says. "Often we don't have the answers to those questions, but it's OK to tell your child that you don't know."
Gordon used this strategy when her mother died three years ago. She didn't hide her grief from the children, ages 3, 6 and 9. "Children need to know that it's OK for them to express their feelings, so they need to see their parents doing it, too," she says.
Gordon encourages families to speak openly about death and illness, though she says there's no hard and fast rule about whether children should see a sick grandparent in the hospital or attend a funeral. It depends on the individual child, as well as the age. "As a parent, you base that decision on your sense of what your child can handle," she explains.
Gordon didn't take her kids to see their grandmother in the hospice during her last few weeks—she felt it would frighten them. "By that time, my mom wasn't able to respond to them any more, and I wanted them to be able to focus on the good memories they had of their grandmother," Gordon says.
Only her two older children attended the funeral. To prepare them, Gordon explained it would be a sad time, but that their aunts, uncles and cousins would be with them, and they would all help one another get through it.
Milwaukee resident Haney-Madlock, on the other hand, saw those last few chances to visit Granny as a way to prepare her kids for their great-grandmother's death.
"I always took the kids with me when we went to visit," she says. "I knew she was going to die, and I didn't want it to be a shock for them." After each visit, she looked for moments to bring up the situation. "Granny's not doing too well," she would say. Once, after a doctor visit, she told the children, "The doctor says it doesn't look like it will be long."
Kabrea remembers being comforted by the talks. "She told me that this was normal, that no one lives forever," she says. "She told me that Granny was old and sick now, but that soon she'd be in a better place." After Granny died, Kabrea says, talking with her mother helped her to calm down.
Talking about death also helped Marlon and Shelley Kleinman of Northbrook and their daughters, Lily and Ariella, who were 4 and 8 years old when Marlon's father died. "The girls knew that I lost my own father when I was 14," says Shelley. "Death was never a taboo subject."
When her father-in-law became ill, Kleinman and her husband had frequent conversations with the children. "We told the girls the truth—that their 'Saba' was very sick and that the doctors didn't think they could make him better," says Shelley. Their religious faith also played a part. "We explained to them that God knew that this was Saba's time to go."
Ariella, now 14, remembers being frightened by her grandfather in the hospital. "I was afraid. . . but I didn't tell anyone because everyone looked so sad," she says. "But later when we got home, my parents talked to me about it. I cried, but I still felt better."
It's OK to be sad
As for children too young for abstract explanations—preschoolers up to age 7 or so—Gordon suggests having them draw pictures as an emotional outlet. Her own children drew pictures for their grandmother's hospice room as a way of "sending their love." After their grandmother died, drawing helped the kids express their feelings and gave their parents an opportunity to understand those feelings.
Gordon emphasizes that a parent may find it hard to speak with children about death so soon after a family member dies. "Obviously, you're dealing with the loss of your own parent, and it's painful, but it's something you have to do," she says.
And while it's difficult, Gordon also suggests maintaining your routines. After her mother died, sticking to her children's regular schedule helped everyone.
"The kids went to school, and I drove them to their afterschool activities as usual, even though my heart was breaking," Gordon says. "The structure helped us all recognize that this intense grief was temporary, and we would get over this hump."
In most cases, kids get over the toughest "humps" within a week or so. But if several weeks have passed and a child is still crying excessively, not eating or sleeping normally, has become withdrawn or displays unusually aggressive behavior or is "acting out," it's time to seek professional help, Gordon says.
Start with your family doctor or pediatrician, who should be able to refer you to a therapist. Or contact your local hospital. There are also numerous community support groups and resources, many of which can be found through Chicago's Center for Grief Recovery: www.griefcounselor.org/grief- recovery-children-grief.html. (See sidebar for more resources).
Gordon also suggests alerting your children's teachers and the parents of their friends about the family situation so they can be on the lookout for any unusual reactions or signs of stress.
Remember the good times
After the immediate pain has eased, helping children remember special times and things about the grandparent can be a continuing form of support. There are many ways to do this, but physical mementos are often the most meaningful.
Family photo albums are an important part of the Kleinman family's recollections of Saba. "When we look at the pictures, Bubie [her grandmother] tells us stories about Saba from before we were born," says 9-year-old Lily.
She and her sister Ariella also have a few special keepsakes to remember their grandfather, including one of his shoes, which Ariella keeps in her closet. (Just one shoe, because "my Bubie has the other one," she says.) The Kleinman family has another daily reminder of Saba—5-year-old Tani, born just months after Saba died, is named after him.
Family celebrations and holidays also help. Each year at the Kleinman's Passover Seder, Saba's traditional family melodies are sung. The family also lights a candle and says special prayers on the anniversary of his death.
The Haney-Madlock family's trips to visit relatives in Granny's Arkansas hometown now include a stop to put flowers on her grave. They also have a collection of videos and photo albums. "We have a video of Granny on a trip to the zoo, when she was 86 years old," Haney-Madlock says. "It was the first time she'd ever been there."
Reminders of Granny are found throughout their home: her aprons, the dolls and stuffed animals she crocheted for each new baby in the family and the many quilts she made. "Everyone has at least two quilts," laughs Haney-Madlock.
Kabrea, now 12, has a couple of her grandmother's dresses, and even wears them occasionally.
One of the family's favorites is a memory book. Haney-Madlock's mother bought it for Granny about 10 years ago. It's a do-it-yourself book with various sections on Granny's life. Each child, grandchild and great-grandchild took turns interviewing Granny and writing down her answers. Many of the questions were about her childhood: "What was your favorite food? What games did you like to play? What did the grocery store you shopped at look like?" And even, "When did you first fall in love?"
Just as meaningful are the memories of time spent together, including listening to Granny's stories.
The last picture in the book is of Granny at her 86th birthday party—just months before she died. She's grinning, batting balloons back and forth with the children in her nursing home room. Her hair is a riot of braids, colorful beads and bows, compliments of her great-granddaughters.
Kabrea laughs as she recalls that special day. "She used to say, 'Let's get rowdy!' She always did like to have a good time."
Phyllis Nutkis is a writer and former preschool teacher living in Skokie. She and her husband have three grown children and two grandchildren.
Ways to help kids remember a grandparent
• Photo albums. Write down captions for the photos and include anecdotes or stories in pocket folders in the scrapbook.
• Videos. Plan family get-togethers to watch videos that include the grandparent.
• A cookbook. Collect and print out some of the grandparent's favorite recipes. Let the children help choose and prepare the food when you use the cookbook.
• Photos. Display pictures prominently on walls, end tables or the piano.
• Their things. Use pot holders, aprons, dishes and books that belonged to the grandparent. Keep the grandparent's jewelry, clothing or other special items around.
• Singing. Sing songs that your children used to sing with the grandparent: Sing in the car, when tucking kids in to bed or when making dinner.
• Traditions. For holidays and other celebrations, keep some customs and rituals that the family did with the grandparent.
• Birthdays. Celebrate the grandparent's birthday. This might be a time to gather around the dinner table and tell stories or look at pictures.
• Memory books. Use a ready-made format such as The Gift of a Memory by Marianne Richmond or My Grandfather and Me and My Grandmother and Me, both by Jane Drake, Ann Love and Scot Ritchie. Or make one using your own design. Phyllis Nutkis

Rio Ferdinand has joined the throng happy to heap praise on Robin van Persie - but the Manchester United defender is acutely aware judgement will only come when trophies are being handed out.
Van Persie landed both the PFA and FWA player of the year prizes last term for his outstanding form at Arsenal.
Yet, much as Arsene Wenger views Champions League qualification as an end in itself, the Dutchman remained unfulfilled.
After seven trophyless seasons with the Gunners, the 29-year-old decided it was time to head down another avenue, and much to Roberto Mancini's chagrin, he opted for United ahead of Manchester City.
The move looks to have worked out for all parties.
Van Persie took his tally to 19 with a double at Wigan yesterday, ensuring the Red Devils maintained their seven-point advantage over City at the summit of the Barclays Premier League.
However, as a veteran of five championship-winning campaigns, Ferdinand is acutely aware there are greater rewards at stake than just sheer weight of goals.
"Robin is an important player," said Ferdinand.
"The manager saw something in him and made it his mission to buy him this summer.
"At the moment, thankfully, he is doing what he came here to do.
"He is not only scoring goals. He holds the ball up well and brings others into play. He does a fantastic job.
"But we are not at the end of the season yet. No medals have been handed out.
"We don't want to jump about too much. Up to now he has done fantastically well. But the job is still there to be done."
The most notable aspect of Van Persie's arrival has been the ease with which he has settled into life with the Red Devils.
A goal on his full debut against Fulham in August clearly helped the process, as does a unified dressing room, according to Ferdinand.
"Winning the league is down to a group of players rather than one individual," said the former England star.
"But it is easy for people to settle in here.
"We have a great bunch of players and there is a great ambience in the squad.
"It is a great place to come to if you are willing to come in, work hard and be a member of the team."
There is little doubt Van Persie has done that, so quick has he been to share the praise for his own endeavours.
His partnership with Javier Hernandez has proved particularly productive.
Between them the duo scored seven times over the festive programme, presenting Sir Alex Ferguson with an obvious selection dilemma when Wayne Rooney recovers from his minor knee injury.
Not that either Van Persie or Hernandez is likely to start the weekend FA Cup tie at West Ham, given Ferguson has virtually an entire team of fresh alternatives to the players who started yesterday, with a crucial Premier League encounter with Liverpool looming immediately afterwards.
Even if Rooney's absence continues, Danny Welbeck and Shinji Kagawa can threaten the Hammers at one end, whilst, at the other, Ferdinand is delighted at the form which has yielded successive clean sheets.
"That was a nice feeling," said Ferdinand.
"The idea is always to win games, so the clean sheets issue has been put on the back burner a little bit.
"But we do pride ourselves on our defending and we are happy with two clean sheets on the spin."
Ten points from 12 over the festive programme represents a satisfactory return given City only managed nine.
However, after last season's startling collapse, when United lost a bigger lead in a far shorter space of time, Ferdinand is not wanting to let his focus drop.
"Last year was the first time City had challenged properly and there was a lot of focus on Manchester," said Ferdinand.
"But we have to make sure we keep our own house in order, make sure we keep ticking off the games.
"There is no point us focusing on anyone but ourselves."

After 391 days on the road, traveling through 49 states, the five person crew completed the loop to where the trip originated, on the Arcata Plaza. Unlike the sendoff, there were just a few media reporters and a couple of friends who just happened to be in the area as we rolled through the downtown streets screaming and hollering. But the lack of fanfare didn't diminish the accomplishment of pedaling over 15,000 miles in 13 months. Even the statue of McKinley points in our direction, giving us an applause for the perseverance it took to complete the trip.
Finished with the trip and returning to normal or ordinary life, see what the riders have decided to pursue next
New to this site? Even though the trip is over you can still see the photos and read what it was like traveling the United States for a year and giving presentations at schools, inspiring students to live lightly on the planet, dream big, and get outdoors.
Our mission
Bike49 is Sara Dykman, Tommy Viducich, Aaron Viducich, Matt Schiff, and guest summer 2010 member Alyssum Cohen. Throughout the next year we will travel through 49 states by bicycle carrying all our gear with us. Our goal is to create a mobile community promoting healthy lifestyles for a healthy planet, as well as showcasing the practicality and fun of bicycle travel. We will visit schools, chart our progress online, and chronicle those we meet. On our 14 month, 15,000 mile tour, we hope to inspire change, empower those seeking solutions, teach, learn, and have lots of fun.
Our route
We will be starting (and ending) our bike tour in Arcata, CA in May 2010. We will travel in a clockwise direction visiting all states except Hawaii.
How to help

The Lee's Summit City Council's handling of proposals for Arnold Hall has volunteers who've worked on recommendations for city arts facilities frustrated or angry.
Members of the Lee's Summit Arts Council met Feb. 18 with City Manager Steve Arbo, getting an explanation of the situation and discussing its next move.
After the city decided last fall to switch the location of a proposed outdoor stage and festival space to 123 Third St. utilizing a parking lot next to the vacant Arnold Hall, some saw an opportunity to use the vacant building and create festival space with an outdoor stage.
Council members. led by Allan Gray, asked the volunteers to work on a design for the outdoor space but then last week announced it was taking offers to sell Arnold Hall. The city plans to keep vacant land for the outdoor stage.
"Welcome to the wonderful, wacky world of local government," Arbo said. He added it could be challenging but also rewarding.
He said that whenever someone approaches city staff seeking to buy city property, in this case, reportedly, a restaurant group, staff takes the request to the full council. The council decided to put Arnold Hall on the market.
Mayor Randy Rhoads also had ruled that an earlier request from council members that the arts council would advise it on the design for the plaza at 123 Third St. didn't include using Arnold Hall. The arts council was seeking clarity on that question.
Rhoads put that issue on the council's agenda for Feb. 20, (after the Journal's deadline) and also proposed, if council members approved, that the arts council work on a proposal for Arnold Hall concurrently with the city taking bids for its sale.
Brad Cox, an arts council member, said that is tantamount to asking the arts council to make its own counter-proposal to those bidding on the building.
Cox, Ben Martin, who is president of Summit Theatre Group, and other arts council members, questioned whether their recommendation would be a waste of time.
They noted given past actions of the city council only partly followed recommendations brought forward by a council-appointed Cultural Arts Facility Task Force.
Arbo said Rhoads' proposal would let the council compare the community value of the council's proposal against the sales price and purpose of any bids it gets for Arnold Hall.
Arts council member Beth Lindquist said the possible sale of Arnold Hall to a private interest would "add to the complexity" of designing a public plaza on that site. Still, she said the council's position on Arnold Hall should be, "We're saying no, don't sell the building, we want a public use for the space."
Lindquist said she's feeling cynical about the city council's actions because it was well aware the arts council has interest in seeing Arnold Hall used for public space, before it put it up for sale.
Cox said that many volunteer hours went into the cultural plan (written by a consultant with their input) and a recommendation by the Cultural Arts Facility Task Force.
"Do you want to hear them, or do you not want to hear it," Cox asked rhetorically. "If none of this five years (of work) has mattered, what the hell do you want?"
Members Melanie Allen and Hollie Couch said the arts council wouldn't be able to do effective planning for Arnold Hall without a budget for that purpose or a consultant's assistance because arts council members don't have that expertise. Mike Ekey said that having Arnold Hall for sale automatically puts the arts council at a disadvantage in forming its recommendation.
Martin said he thinks the council should continue to be an advocate for the arts plan that includes Arnold Hall.
"I'd caution against playing the victim," Martin said. "If they decide they don't like the activist council and disband it, so be it."
He asked, "Will it be helpful for one of our group to lambast or scold the council?"
He said the volunteer citizens are "feeling pretty used."
The arts council members were trying to decide if that would be productive when Councilmember Rob Binney, liaison with the group, reminded them public comments are for issues not on the agenda and it wasn't clear the city council planned to have the arts council be part of the discussion at its meeting. City staff promised to look into whether the arts council would have a chance to address the city leaders.
The arts council decided to stay engaged in the process, even given the vexation.
Syrtiller Kabat, arts council chair, said she personally didn't feel upset because it is the council's responsibility to make the decisions.
"The council perhaps needs to hear both," Kabat said. "The council does its thing, it can be frustrating, but they do their thing."

In Pictures: Firefighters Converge to Remember Fallen Brothers
Firefighters from around the city and the world came out for the annual ceremony at the Firemen's Memorial on Riverside Drive. Participants read aloud the names of all the firefighters killed on 9/11 and sang Amazing Grace.
Fire brigades from Denmark and Germany were on hand, as well as firefighters from upstate New York and Connecticut. Members of the Navy and Marines stood and saluted the firefighters.
Jim Dalton, the FDNY chief of marine operations, said that every 9/11 he comes to the Riverside Drive service before attending other memorials in the city. "And then ultimately back where I live in Breezy Point, we lost a lot of people from Cantor Fitzgerald, fire department, etc., and we do a memorial down there every year," Dalton said.

Recent High Bar Harbor Reviews
Great home!
This is a wonderful house; feels like a real home because it is, not just a rental property. They have everything you will need, including sheets, towels, all kitchen utensils, spices, etc. All bedrooms have large king size beds, a big plus. But the best part of this home, is the backyard entrainment area. On a canal in High Bar Harbor, this wonderful backyard is an oasis, with a huge built in kitchen/grill/refrig, fabulous hot tub, several tables with chairs and umbrellas and comfy and relaxing lounge chairs. I could have sat there all day! Kayaking to see the sunsets was awesome, just sitting out at night watching the stars. Love Barnaget Light area; so laid back, real and not pretentious, although it is at the far North end of the Island; feels like a totally different island on North vs. South end, which I prefer the quiet side. Anthony is a very responsive and helpful landlord.
Ocean Bayside Paradise
When you walk around to the back of this house, turn the corner and see it for the first time, it takes your breath away. When you walk around the second time...it takes your breath away... The marsh is mesmerizing...from its splendid array of green hues...to the osprey nest, wherein recently the mother osprey is tending to her newborn while the father stands watch atop an adjacent post...to the stunningly white egrets...and the majestic blue heron taking flight...all to be seen even more closely through binoculars or on a short kayak ride...and then at the end of the day under the setting orange sun and shimmering blue ocean... We have been vacationing on LBI for over 25 years and we have never seen a house this comfortable and spectacular...there is a little niche in the dining room and a similar one on the breezy screened in porch where you can eat, read or play cards amidst a panoramic view of water and sky that almost seems endless... Imagine what is like to have a main kitchen and beside it a charming pantry wherein you have two fridges, two ovens, three sinks and two dishwashers... The bedrooms are cozy and they all have flat screen TVs...you don't even have to bring your own sheets or blankets. Just bring towels. While you have to get used to the temptation to stay at the house---because it is just so relaxing by the pool on the deck loungers and the book collection is first-rate---when you wish to swim on the ocean side it is a short bicycle or car ride away---and there are numerous ocean access points. It's always nice to know that you have eight beach badges and a new collection of comfy beach chairs to choose from---the owner truly understands her guests' needs and sense of convenience. Another huge plus is the Friday to Friday check in/check out. As many of you know, the traffic on the Garden State Parkway on Saturdays in the summer is a 100 mile logjam. The one mental aspect you have to get used to is---you will not want to leave this house, as you are accustomed to with other rentals---because it has so many joys and comforts, you just have to tell yourself---it's OK! The amazing thing is, even with 14 people in the house, you don't feel the least bit crowded or on top of each other. With all the balconies and porches and decks and jacuzzi, there are private niches galore. And if you really want to have some unforgettable moments to yourself, hop in the kayak and paddle around the corner deeper into paradise.

Premiering this weekend on HBO was the third chapter in the "Chronicles of Narnia" series of films, "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader".
Based on the series of fantasy books by C.S. Lewis, "The Chronicles of Narnia" series revolves around a group of young brothers and sisters – the Pevensie family – who occasionally get transported to a fantasy realm called Narnia. This particular time, the portal is a magical painting of a ship at sail on the Ocean. The Dawn Treader. During an argument between two of the Pevensie children and the young cousin whose house they've been staying at, the painting begins to move and then pour water into the room they're in. Before they know it, the room is filled with water, and Edmund, Lucy and their cousin Eustace are swimming at sea.
In Narnia.
Fortunately for them, they've surfaced right next to the ocean faring ship. The three of them are brought on board and find that King Caspian and the talking mouse Reepicheep are aboard.
This is the point where I'll confess that I missed the second film in this series. I wasn't all that impressed with "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe", and never checked "Prince Caspian" out. I read the books, but as a child. So the continuity here is something I can't really comment on.
I don't think it's much of an obstacle though. I didn't feel I was missing anything.
Anyways, at one stop during their voyage on the Dawn Treader, the children witness a green mist. Eventually they learn that the mist is an embodiment of pure evil with designs on consuming the world. In order to stop it, they need to collect seven
MacGuffins swords and lay them on Aslan's table. Of course, the seven swords have been scattered across the Narnian world, so they need to voyage across the seas on the Dawn Treader from shore to Narnian shore collecting them. Along the way, they encounter a wide variety of creatures and magical artifacts, and have a number of fantasy adventures.
These movies are a little too "Kiddie" for me. They're PG, not PG13, and it shows. There's one scene where Lucy reads from a magic book and makes it start to snow in the room. She proceeds to look up and around with this huge "Wow" smile, and I was just like, "oh man, cmon." Everything here is a little too magical and wonderful. And the action is always very "safe" feeling. The swordplay is always neutered, as if they combatants are just out to clank swords. The creatures never seem actually threatening. The lightened tone makes the movie seem…lightweight. Kind of "Fantasy Film Lite". It only goes to follow, right?
That doesn't necessarily make them bad, just… Not my cup of tea. The movie was gorgeous to look at, and the special effects were really well done. The creatures are all fun enough. The plot isn't really anything substantial, but I suppose for the target age group for these films, it doesn't have to be. The acting was weak (enough to make me realize how lucky Warner Brothers got with the Harry Potter kids), but this movie is all about the fantastical situations, creatures and world.
It's not a great movie, but it's decent enough, and I have a feeling kids in the right age range would love it.
