Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/11/2012 (1716 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Neelin Spartans have already made history this season, and they're looking to make a little more tonight.
So far, Spartans running back Dylan Minshull has set a new Winnipeg High School Football League Andy Currie Division record with 1,430 rushing yards in the regular season.
Neelin has also reached its first ever WHSFL final in any division, and will face the Steinbach Sabres tonight at Canad Inns Stadium at 7:30.
While the Spartans are proud of what they've accomplished so far, they know their work isn't done just yet and they are fully focused on winning their first Winnipeg league championship.
"It's a good honour for the boys to get to this position," Neelin head coach Robert Cullen said. "Now they just need to go out and execute and take it to where they want to be."
The Spartans know it won't be easy to claim their first division title since joining the Winnipeg league.
The Sabres posted a 7-1 regular season record and are the only team to beat the Spartans (6-1) this season. That game came in the third week of the season when Neelin was shut out 28-0.
Minshull believes the Spartans have greatly improved since then — creating better offensive plays and tightening up defensively — and doesn't think anyone will be living in the past when they take to the field tonight.
"There's always going to be that fear that we didn't beat them last time, and they shut us out, but I think that now that we have this solid plan, I think we've increased our play since last time we played them," Minshull said.
"It should be a great game between us; whoever wants it more. It will come down to the dying seconds."
Cullen believes the key to winning tonight will be establishing a solid ground game that will open up the passing attack, led by quarterback Bryce Keilback.
Defensively, Cullen said if his players — who posted five shutouts this season, including one in the league quarter-finals — stay within the system, they will have a solid chance to win.
Ending this season with a win would have even more of a special meaning to Minshull. The 5-foot-11, 200-pound running back is in Grade 12 and has played on Neelin's football team in all four years at the high school.
He, along with the 13 other Grade 12 students on the team, would like nothing better than for their final high school football memory to be celebrating a championship on the Canad Inns turf.
"It would top it off to have that nice season where you set some records and win a championship to share it with your team," he said. "It would be pretty good."
The last Brandon team to win a Winnipeg league title was the Crocus Plainsmen back in 1987.

As of this evening, a formal complaint has been filed with the Attorney General of MO and the BBB. Since the selling GM will not return my calls, I felt this was an appropriate next step as I weigh my options.

ADDISON — After a series of incidents between this past Thursday and Monday that included two water main breaks and a power outage at the Tri-Town Water District plant, district officials on Monday afternoon asked their customers in Addison, Bridport and Shoreham to begin boiling drinking and cooking water.
The disruption in service Friday affected around 1,600 customers, and some residents reported discolored water coming into their homes during the events.
MIDDLEBURY — The latest draft of the first-ever global budget for Addison Central School District (ACSD) schools indicates education property tax rates for the seven member-communities could drop next year between 3 cents (in Middlebury) to 27 cents (in Weybridge).

NEW HAVEN — Rep. Harvey Smith, R-New Haven, was re-elected Tuesday for what will be his eighth term representing Addison-5 in the Vermont House. Smith defeated New Haven Democrat Taborri Bruhl, 1,196-1,062.
Smith took New Haven (581-483) and Bridport (402-241), but lost in Weybridge to Bruhl, who garnered 338 votes compared to Smith's 213.
The eighth year of the Bridport Community Supper program has ended for the 2015-2016 winter season. Our suppers are provided free of charge to the community every Friday night mid-November to mid-April. We served 2,442 meals over the 21 weeks at the Bridport Grange Hall. Wow, what a rewarding season.
CORNWALL — Fran Paquette has a favorite saying:
"A 'Thank you' goes a long way."
And when the final bell rings this June to signal summer vacation for the Addison Central Supervisory Union elementary schools, Paquette will have earned a hearty "thank you," having capped 40 years teaching physical education to generations of Middlebury-area students.
ADDISON COUNTY — Town Meeting Day will feature races for selectboard spots in Middlebury, Salisbury, Ripton and Weybridge, while Bridport and Ripton will decide competitions for their respective seats on a new, unified district school board that would represent all Middlebury-area schools.
Monday was the deadline for candidates for local offices to submit their nomination papers with their respective town clerks in order to get on the March 1 Town Meeting Day ballot. Folks can still jump into races through write-in campaigns.
CORNWALL — As visitors looked out over the broad plain of the Lemon Fair River off West Street in Cornwall on Tuesday, they could see a lazy river meandering through hay fields. Longtime Cornwall resident and Waterfowl Advisory Committee member Lawrence Pyne said he could easily recall a much wetter scene.
CORNWALL — More land in western Addison County will soon be available to the public, and protected for wildlife. The public is invited to attend a celebration of the Lemon Fair Wildlife Management Area, and the 330 acres being added to it, on Tuesday, July 28, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The celebration will include a reception with refreshments and speakers, followed by a short tour of the lands. Speakers include Agency of Natural Resources Secretary Deb Markowitz and Fish & Wildlife Department Commissioner Louis Porter, among others.

The public had more to say than the council did during the meeting. While several Belle Haven residents said they felt left out of the entire process, with one man saying he wished he were a rare species of frog because then his community might be respected, other speakers sang Facebook's praises.
Belle Haven Neighborhood Association president Matt Henry said that rather than attacking Facebook, he preferred to circulate his wish list for the community and wait to see what happens. "I don't think Facebook is going to solve all the problems of the world," he commented. "I say let's see what they're going to do."
Atherton's interim city manager, Theresa DellaSanta, spoke to remind the council that the town challenges the proposed Marsh/Middlefield intersection traffic mitigations. Atherton has threatened to sue Menlo Park unless other measures are proposed.
Tim Tosta, a lawyer representing Facebook, commented that Atherton had already accepted the same mitigation when it was proposed for two other projects — Menlo Gateway and the North Fair Oaks Community Center. He also warned that the court tends to take a dim view of objections filed late in the review process, saying that's "not the way CEQA law should be handled and it should not penalize Facebook in any way."
Atherton Interim Public Works Director Mike Kashiwagi later told the Almanac that while the town had signed off on the mitigation twice before, staff reconsidered after evaluating the traffic that Facebook potentially would add.
"This review included field reviewing and measuring the proposed changes to the Marsh/Middlefield intersection in terms of feasibility and constructability. As a result of this review, Town staff determined that reduced road lane widths required by the proposed Facebook mitigation negatively impacts the ability of legal sized vehicles (trucks) to safely make turns. Accordingly, we are unable to support the mitigation as proposed," he said in an email.
The EIR suggests that Facebook pay about 30 percent of the cost for adding another turning lane westbound on Middlefield and a merging lane northbound on Marsh, in addition to other roadway changes.
Chip Taylor, Menlo Park's public works director, said the information city staff and the EIR consultants were working with indicates the area needed to widen lanes is in the public right-of-way; Atherton officials say the road-widening would involve private property that would need to be acquired. All three parties — Facebook, Atherton and Menlo Park — are continuing to hold discussions to decide the best way to resolve the impasse.
Meanwhile, the council took a few minutes to detail the numerous public hearings and outreach tools used to make everyone know exactly what was going on with Facebook's expansion. Councilman Rich Cline pointed out that part of participating in the hearings included "checking our mailboxes for the meeting notices ... and showing up."
Facebook plans to hire up to 6,600 employees at its 1 Hacker Way "East" campus — the former Sun Microsystems campus at Willow Road and Bayfront Expressway — and make improvements to all its properties, including those on the Constitution Drive "West" campus.
The council's action last week approved the associated environmental impact reports, allowing the company to begin planning to implement the changes.

Carnival Glory - Western Caribbean: Carnival Glory Cruise Review by darrenandelli
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Glory - Western Caribbean
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Embarkation: Was an absolute breeze. We stayed at the La Quinta in Cocoa Beach the night before we left and payed a few bucks extra to keep our car parked there for the duration of the cruise. There was a very convenient van that took us to the port and then was waiting for us when we got back. A very nice way to start the vacation. We flew through security, had our sign and sail cards waiting and were on the boat with a rum and coke in our hands within 20 min of arriving at the port. We arrived at 11:45.
Entertainment: Well, we happened to spend a few nights at the Cinn-a-bar listening to Peter the piano player. Made quite a few friends and went a little nuts with the Kamikaze shots. I highly recommend stopping by to see Peter and tell him Darren and Elli sent you! The magic show was good. Some of the acts were really pretty neat. Not sure how he does them More all.
We booked all our excursions through Island Marketing group. They run belizecruiseexcursions.com, cozumelcruiseexcursions.com and costamayacruiseexcursions.com. They are very organized and saved us a bunch of money over booking directly with Carnival.
We went to the Reef Club in Cozumel. Very nice and relaxing. We had some fun running around on a hobie cat.
In Belize, we did the X-stream cave tubing with our tour guides King David and Flava flav. They were great and had a good knowledge of Belize. Floating down the stream/river was very relaxing. We had 4 people in our group compared to the 30-40 person Carnival groups that got in our way.
In Costa Maya, we went to a beachside all inclusive area. Enjoyed some snorkeling. They were very eager to take care of us there.
For Nassau, we never made it off the boat. We ended up sleeping late and then just hung out by the pool.
Food: The Sushi and Deli were great. The pizza is good when you get it right out of the oven. We had late seating in the Golden room for dinner. Most of the dinners were good. We ended up getting several appetizers and entrees and splitting them.
Room: We had an interior room, which we really did not spend much time in at all. It was clean and what you expect for an interior room. The bed was pretty much the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on. We spent most of our time on deck having a refreshing beverage by the pool playing Rummikub and Backgammon. Bringing games was a good idea, but then again we like games.
Boat: In general, the boat was well maintained. Lots of places to explore. If you are not happy in one pool, room or club, there are plenty of choices to go to. It was nice to have so many hot tubs on the boat as well. Make sure you get a deck chair early or you won't get one.
Debarkation: Was a nightmare. People did not have their customs forms filled out and the line wasn't moving. But, once we got to security, it was quick. Wee Jimmy (the cruise director) tried his best to tell very bad (but a little funny) jokes to keep us in a positive mood. Getting back to the hotel was easy and our car was safely waiting upon our return. Less

CCTV images of six teenagers police want to speak to over a mass brawl in Blackburn town centre has been issued by by officers.
Police initially said the fight in King William Street involved up to 80 teenagers, but have now revised that figure following an 'extensive investigation' and believe 15 people were involved.
Nine teenagers have now either been arrested or interviewed under caution over the incident, which saw bottles and cans being thrown at 12.40pm on January 25.
And police, who at the time of the incident said the fighting involved students from Blackburn College, said strategies have been put in place to 'prevent anything like this from happening again'.
Two teenage boys aged 16 and 17, both from Blackburn, have arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and released on bail until April 7.
A further six male teens, one aged 19, two aged 17, two aged 16 and another aged 18, all from Blackburn, have been interviewed voluntarily.
A teenage boy aged 17, from Darwen, has also been interviewed voluntarily.
But now police are asking the public to help identify the others involved in the violence to help bring them to justice.
Sgt Mark Hutchinson, of Blackburn Police, said: "We are looking to identify the males in the CCTV and would ask anyone with information to contact police immediately.
"Initial reports suggested around 80 people were in involved in the fighting, however, following an extensive police investigation it was established 15 people were involved in the fighting.
"A total of nine people have now been either arrested or interviewed under caution.
"The police have worked closely with staff at Blackburn with Darwen Council and The Mall shopping centre in order to obtain evidence and put strategies in place to prevent anything like this from happening again. The police would also like to thank staff at Blackburn College for their assistance during this investigation.
"Lancashire Police do not take matters like this lightly and will bring to justice anyone who causes disorder or is involved in anti-social behaviour in Blackburn town centre."
Sgt Hutchinson's message comes as police have stepped up patrols across the town centre for the half-term week.
In addition to the usual police patrols, there have been mounted officers patrolling the centre on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The horses will be out again today.
But a police spokesman said it was not unusual for the police horses to be in the centre during busy times of the year.
Anyone who recognises the teenagers should call police on 101.

"Think about it for a second: I've been released from six teams. I've been fired as a manager. I've got no hair. I've got a nose that's three sizes too big for my face, and I grew up in a major league clubhouse," Francona said when asked if he was prepared for the pressure of being the new Boston Red Sox manager. (Related audio: Francona says his players will play at the top of their level)
"My skin's pretty thick," he said. "I'll be OK."
The Red Sox hired Francona on Thursday, more than a month after letting Grady Little go for failing to get the last five outs Boston needed to vanquish the New York Yankees and reach the World Series. Francona, 44, was given a three-year deal with an option for a fourth; financial terms were not disclosed.
The son of a ballplayer, Francona played 10 seasons for five major league teams — he signed with a sixth but never made it back to the majors — and was Michael Jordan's manager at Double-A Birmingham during the basketball star's aborted attempt to play baseball.
"I had a lot of experience, early on, dealing with the biggest star," Francona said.
The Red Sox also interviewed Los Angeles third-base coach Glenn Hoffman, Anaheim bench coach Joe Maddon and Texas first-base coach DeMarlo Hale. But Francona was established as an early front-runner, and his hiring was delayed only by the team's pursuit of pitcher Curt Schilling.
The Red Sox traded four players to Arizona for Schilling last week, but Schilling didn't waive his no-trade clause until signing a new contract that guarantees him $37.5 million over the next three years. Schilling said one incentive for him to sign in Boston was word that Francona was "a slam dunk" to be the new manager.
But he insisted that he did not make Francona's hiring a condition of the deal, nor did the Red Sox promise it.
"I think Schill just wants to pitch opening day," Francona joked. "I love Schill. I don't think he's responsible for getting me the job."
Francona managed Schilling over four losing seasons in Philadelphia from 1997-2000, never winning more than 77 games. Getting fired didn't dampen his obvious enthusiasm or his belief that he could be a successful major league manager.
"I always felt like if I put the players and the organization first and myself second, things would work out," he told reporters. "And you know what? I'm sitting here in front of you guys today. I feel like it's worked out."
Little averaged 94 wins over two seasons and took the Red Sox to the playoffs this year for the first time since 1999. They came back from a 2-0 deficit against Oakland, winning three in a row to take the best-of-five, first-round series and play the Yankees for the right to go to the World Series.
Boston led New York 5-2 in the seventh inning of the decisive seventh game, but Little opted to go with tiring ace Pedro Martinez instead of a recently rehabilitated bullpen. Martinez blew the lead, the Yankees won 6-5 on Aaron Boone's 11th-inning homer off Tim Wakefield and Little was let go after the season.
Red Sox management insisted that Little's fate wasn't determined by one loss. Instead, the Boston brass had grown frustrated by his lack of preparation and willingness to wing it rather than trust the statistical analysis they thought was the solution to the team's 85-year championship drought.
Even Little's detractors said he was deft at handling a combustible clubhouse, dealing with Manny Ramirez when he called in sick for a key series and keeping Pedro Martinez happy and productive. Francona said he wasn't afraid to be a players' manager, but that he also knows he needs to lay down the law at times.
"The players will know that I care about them more than anybody ever cared about them before. And they will know that I respect them, hopefully more than anybody's ever respected them before," he said. "But I will also ask more of them than anybody's ever asked of them before."
Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein said Francona seemed to strike the right combination of clubhouse charmer and dugout tactician. But, before hiring him, Epstein wanted to make sure that Francona wouldn't be too light of a touch in a clubhouse that always seems on the verge of controversy.
"It's so hard not to like him," Epstein said. "In doing my follow-up research, I was very satisfied that he has a tough side to him and can draw the line and show the authority that is sometimes necessary.
Francona played for Montreal, the Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Milwaukee, batting .274 with 16 homers in 708 games. He played in the Cardinals organization in 1991, but never got to St. Louis.

A Carl Allen (Carrey) is going nowhere, his mantra being the word no until he signs up for a self-help programme with a simple covenant: say yes to everything. It changes his life, but his zeal starts to work against him.
Though Jim Carrey has toned down the physical characteristics that once made him famous, at a lean-framed 46 he still shows himself capable of going over a parked car and coming up off the floor as if he's on fire with considerable aplomb in this adaptation of Danny Wallace's bestselling book. The idea that you say yes to everything — spam emails, the religious crusaders at your front door, torrid sex with your elderly neighbour — is a neat device, and by all accounts almost did for Wallace, but it appears to have paid off handsomely for him since, so perhaps it does work? It works for Carrey's character, too; initially that is. After attending a furiously overblown seminar hosted by the charismatic Terrence Bundley (Terence Stamp stomping flat-footed through his part the way Britney Spears now thumps across the stage), he embraces positivity and, lo and behold, everything changes for the better.
Unfortunately, the film's initial promise dissipates soon after Allen's life changes, as he begins dating the indomitably quirky and impossibly pretty Allison (a button-nosed Zooey Deschanel — open the dictionary, look up the word 'kooky' and you'll find a photo of her there) and bonds with his boss, Norm — played by Flight Of The Conchords' Rhys Darby, who almost steals the film with his charmingly gormless performance.
Allen takes life at full tilt, even heroically saving a suicide case at one point, and in doing so proves that positivism really does promote positivity. But after one particularly dreadful, clunking plot twist, which we must assume it took three writers to conjure up, his life — and the movie — begins to unravel like an old jumper.
Soon we're in familiar Hollywood and Carrey territory: you have the final act to win the girl and save the day and yourself. It's all freewheeling from there (there's even a 'wacky' Carrey out of control on a motorbike sequence), and it's so much the duller for it. Inevitably, Allen eventually discovers himself and even gets to rebuff the wife who initially broke his heart — just in case you'd missed the point that he was the victim and the good guy, and needed it nailed into your forehead.
Its charming enough with some nice comedy touches, but the initially intriguing premise is soon railroaded out of sight by its desire to conform to a tried-and-tested cinematic formula.

Gothamist reports on Black Squirrels who have moved on up from the tough streets of the Bronx to Boerum Hill Brooklyn. They also link to a slightly disturbing tale of a Black Russian squirrel mob gutting a stray dog then running off with chunks of its flesh. (This sounds like racial profiling to me.)
Scotsman.com reports that in Scotland Grey squirrels (who hail from America) might soon be dosed with contraceptives. This will be done in an effort to reduce the number of the foreigner squirrels who are multiplying like crazy and threatening the livelihood of the native born Red Squirrel, in addition to taking all their jobs.

From the squirrel reproductive control story: "However, Libby Anderson, from the animal welfare group Advocates for Animals, said she approved of contraception, if it could be proved to work, because that was much better than killing grey squirrels. She said: 'It has not been successful so far, but hopefully it can provide an alternative to lethal control. We are in favour of any control that does not impact on the welfare of animals. If immuno-contraception can be carried out successfully, that's fine.'"
Forced reproductive control doesn't have an impact on the welfare of animals? Try again. Contraception is not an "alternative" to lethal control. It's one more form of "managing" free-living animals that animal advocates need to oppose.

When I was living in the Chicago suburbs, my grandpa (who was on vacation visiting from Iowa) pulled a shotgun from his RV and killed a black squirrel that was living in my yard. He wanted it for his taxidermy collection because he'd never seen a black squirrel before. Another suggestion for "managing" suburban wildlife.

Intergenerational Faith Formation
Through the Generations of Faith Project (Center for Ministry Development, 2001-2006), I worked with a team to create a model of intergenerational faith formation and program resources for churches to implement intergenerational learning. Over this six year period, we worked with over 1000 churches - helping them develop and implement intergenerational lifelong faith formation. The following articles describe the theory and practice of the Generations of Faith approach to intergenerational learning.

A portion of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the Interstate 78 was shut down for many long hours, causing disruption to thousands of motorists.
The area was re-opened on Thursday night after massive pile-ups of vehicles that had crashed were cleared from the highway, which was freezing and covered in snow.
Pennsylvania Turnpike officials reported that at least 35 vehicles were involved in the massive chain-reaction pile-ups just before 10 a.m. The westbound lanes were totally blocked as a 4-mile tailback brought the area to a standstill.
The officials said that there were at least four accidents which left motorists trapped in traffic. The motorists were sent back the way they came and their toll charges were waived.
A spokesperson for Turnpike, Renee Colborn, said 10 people were taken to hospital for treatment but fortunately no deaths occurred. In a conflicting report from State trooper, David Beohm, he said that 25 people were taken to local hospitals and at least 44 were treated on the scene.
The most serious of the injuries was one person who needed to be airlifted to a nearby hospital for more treatment.
The acute wintery conditions across North America have caused no end of havoc for motorists since the beginning of December and especially over the Christmas period.
The holidays are always a difficult time for motorists and commuters as many public services shut down or work on a reduced timetable.
It it fortunate that no one was killed in the Pennsylvania Turnpike pile-ups. Indeed, Troopers and local authorities are surprised that the human toll wasn't worse.
Motorists are advised only to venture out in snowy conditions if absolutely necessary and to always ensure they have blankets and plenty of water just in case an emergency arises.

Browser, Standards and Interop Summit in Paris
By Jeremy Keith | May 11th, 2007 | Filed in Browsers, General, OutreachSkip to comment form
The XTech 2007 conference is taking place at the Novotel Paris Tour Eiffel in Paris next week from the 15th to the 18th of May.
On the first day of the conference, Molly and Edd have organised the first annual Browser, Standards and Interop Summit to run all day in parallel to the conference tracks. Molly describes the day thusly:
The day will be open to observation for interested journalists (particularly bloggers, podcasters and videocasters) based on available space. Participants will include representatives from Opera Software, Mozilla, Microsoft Corporation and others. It's an opportunity to make voices heard in a more neutral, open discussion outside the vendor or standards groups themselves.
This event is free to attend—you can thank Molly and Edd who are splitting the costs of hiring the room. This is a great opportunity to get together with the people who not only making the next generation of browsers but also driving future standards. If you can attend and contribute to the discussion, that would be great.

The cast of 1st through 5th grade students is working to explore the humor and fantasy of this classic tale of kindness to all creatures, in a musical adaptation that trots, crawls, and flies across the stage – from the small English village of Puddleby-in-the-Marsh to the far corners of the world – in search of the oldest and wisest of earth's creatures, the Great Pink Sea Snail! WCT's Producing Director, Meghan Kenny, who directs this production, is "thrilled that the cast gets to work with puppets in this production; whether it be operating a single puppet, collaborating with a cast-member or interacting with numerous puppets onstage." Puppetry workshops have been part of the process for the participants, who are also learning to embrace Dolittle's love of all living creatures. "Thanks to this new design element, cast members have the opportunity to learn to work with puppets onstage and breathe life into a wide array of animal characters," says Kenny. Tickets are $12 and will be available beginning October 23rd through WCT's website at www.watertownchildrenstheatre.org or by calling 1-800-838-3006. For more information, visit WCT's website or call 617-926-ARTS.

McAfee Tuesday announced a vulnerability-assessment scanning service that's aimed at giving cloud-computing service providers a way to provide security assurances to their customers.
Are security issues delaying adoption of cloud computing?
Called the McAfee Cloud Secure Program, the daily scanning service is directed from the Internet into the cloud service provider to probe for any weaknesses in the network infrastructure, perimeter and applications, says Marc Olesen, senior vice president and general manager for McAfee's software-as-a-service business unit.
The McAfee Cloud Secure Program, which is likely to be expande to include other security services as well, "is intended to give customers more confidence in their cloud providers," Olese says. SuccessFactors.com is among the first to participate in the McAfee program.
The charges for McAfee Cloud Secure are based on number of IP addresses, among other factors, and start at less than $5,000 per month, according to Olesen.
Cloud providers are entitled to post the McAfee Cloud Secure mark when they've successfully completed daily vulnerability-assessment scans. The program is modeled to some extent after the McAfee Secure Trustmark program for e-commerce Web sites that undergo security scans.

After a three-year break from rep footy, Brad Fittler is set to make a return for the Blues in Origin II. Steve Mascord reports.
Brad Fittler's dramatic recall by NSW for Origin II was initiated by an enquiry about the contents of his sock drawer.
NSW coach Phil Gould last night announced he had convinced the former Australia captain to make himself available for selection this morning in the Blues side to play Queensland at Suncorp Stadium on June 16.
Fittler, who retired from representative football in 2001, didn't wait for Gould to call him back. He phoned his longtime mentor at Penrith, the Sydney Roosters and the Blues and said: "If you want me to play, I'll play".
Hooker Danny Buderus will remain captain.
"Given the Blues' injury toll, I called Freddie's girlfriend Marie Liarris this morning," Gould said late last night. "Brad wasn't there he was out having a [surf] ski at the beach. I said to Marie, 'Has he got any old pairs of Origin socks in his drawer?' She said she'd love to see him play Origin again. I asked her to run it by him and I'd call back, but he called me."
An Origin comeback for Fittler, 32, has been forecast each year since his representative retirement at the end of the 2001 Kangaroo Tour and team management investigated the possibility of him playing two years ago.
But Gould said the fact the man who played 29 games for the Blues between 1990 and 2001 was quitting the game this year made this the right time.
The Blues coach said he admired Queensland's recall of Allan Langer from England in 2001 and hoped Fittler's appearance would give NSW similar impetus to wrap up the series next week.
"I thought it was great for the game, what Queensland did with Alf," Gould said. "We've got an extraordinary amount of injuries and I think what Brad has done is out of a sense of duty as much as anything else. The fact Brad is giving it away at the end of the year means he doesn't have added pressure on him. He has nothing to prove to me and I don't think he has anything to prove to anyone."
Gould said Fittler would "commit for the rest of the series" but probably would not be available to play for Australia in the end-of-season tri-nations.
"It's great news for the game and it's great news for Freddie," he said. "He is a great player who will help the young blokes who are playing Origin for the first time."
The main injury to which Gould referred is incumbent Shaun Timmins's spinal problem, which forced him off in St George Illawarra's 14-12 loss to North Queensland on Saturday night. The Blues' first-choice pivot would have been Timmins's clubmate Trent Barrett but he has missed most of the season with a hamstring problem.
Also, Bulldogs No.6 Braith Anasta (ribs) missed Friday night's 40-12 win over the Roosters and Melbourne's Scott Hill (back) was a late withdrawal from the 30-24 win over Wests Tigers the following evening. Gould said Hill would still be considered at lock, depending on medical advice.
Maroons coach Michael Hagan said Fittler's return to Origin would have a similar effect on the NSW team as Langer's did on Queensland.
"That will certainly add a bit of extra excitement to the second game," Hagan said. "From all reports, they've certainly got their share of five-eighth problems so I guess it's not a total shock.
"Freddie has been one of the best five-eighths in the game for many years, he's still in good form, he's a great player and a great leader and I guess that's why Phil Gould has called on him. It will be a boost to the young blokes in their side."
It is expected centre Matt Cooper, winger Timana Tahu, halfback Brett Kimmorley and reserve forward Lance Thompson will be the new Blues when the team is announced at 11am in Sydney. Kimmorley sealed his spot with a five-star performance in Cronulla's 30-22 win over Brisbane yesterday.
"I thought, 'If we play good, I play good, we win the footy game, it helps come tomorrow," Kimmorley said.
Penrith prop Joel Clinton is tipped to miss out again and Cronulla's Jason Stevens has garnered some support. Prop Ryan O'Hara is unlikely to retain his spot and there is a suggestion reserve forward Brent Kite will start in the front row with Lance Thompson on the bench.
Roosters fullback Anthony Minichiello is far from certain to be recalled after being sacked from Origin I for misconduct. It is thought to be a close call between him and incumbent Ben Hornby for the No.1 shirt.
Newcastle's Tahu and the Dragons' Cooper are favoured for the three-quarter line, with winger Luke Rooney in danger of losing out to Penrith clubmate Luke Lewis on one wing. Dragons centre Mark Gasnier has been ruled out with an ankle injury.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Lynne Norris
By Tom Lappas, Citizen Editor (Photo by Robert Thomas for the Henrico Citizen) 02/16/12
Years spent in the corporate world convinced Lynne Norris that what she really wanted to do wasn't crunching numbers or clawing her way through middle management.
"I had said for a number of years that if I could do anything and money wasn't an object, I would go teach high school," she recalls.
Eventually, though, she dropped the financial condition.
"I quit my job, went to get my teacher certification and haven't looked back," she says.
The decision was an easy one for Norris, who is in her third year as department chair of Deep Run High School's Center for Information Technology, which draws students from throughout the county. As a parent of two teenage sons herself – and as someone who found motivation from her high school teachers – there was little question where Norris wanted to be.
Deep Run's program engages students in cutting-edge technology, helping to prepare them for college and careers in the field or as engineers, among other paths. The program counts 100 students among its ranks, and Norris says each one demonstrates skills and knowledge that impress her each day.
"I tell my students that in many ways they're much smarter than I am, because they grew up with this [technology] and I didn't. It's part of who they are – they just take off and run with it."
Norris requires each of her tenth-graders to become the class's "consultant of the week" once, a role that asks them to become an expert on a new technology topic, then teach the class about it.
"Some of the topics they come up with are just amazing," she says.
She also created a senior "Capstone" course that exposes students to four topics (information technology management, database design, network security or game design), during its first nine weeks, then allows them to choose one, study it in depth and write a research paper about the topic.
Norris fully involves herself not only in the center and her classes, but the students and the school community as a whole.
"Students enter her classroom eager to learn in a professional atmosphere where they are given up-to-date opportunities to discover, research and learn about the latest advancements in technology," a colleague wrote in a nomination letter. "She serves on several committees, always volunteers for tickets sales, attends school events, speaks before community groups about the center and mentors new teachers in the center. She is also the advisor to the Computer Club and mentors girls in information technology. She must have a cape somewhere in her wardrobe."
To Norris, her students make the job enjoyable and rewarding. They also keep her honest. "Being real with the students is really important, because they know when you're not," she says. "Putting it out there when I make a mistake, or if I don't know an answer, I think they respect that. And because of those things they trust me.
"I love these kids and I tell them that regularly. I don't have to care about these kids, but I really do. I care how they're doing in all of their other classes and activities. They're really willing to open up and do lots of things when they realize that people really do care."

UNICEF and FC Barcelona agree to extend cooperation
FC Barcelona Statement
16 May 2011 - "UNICEF and FC Barcelona have agreed to extend their cooperation beyond the present agreement that ends in June 2011. We can confirm that the UNICEF logo will remain on the FC Barcelona official jersey for the 2011-2012 season, positioned below the player's number.
For the last five years FC Barcelona has supported UNICEF to improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of children and provide global brand awareness for UNICEF. The next phase of the partnership that is still under discussion aims to utilize the social assets of the club in support of a global movement for education and sport that will deliver tangible results for children.
UNICEF and FC Barcelona are looking forward to taking this ground-breaking partnership to the next stage to improve the lives of vulnerable children around the world. We will announce further details in June."
In 2006, FC Barcelona and UNICEF signed a very innovative and unique five-year partnership in the international football scenario. This global alliance included the use of UNICEF logo on our jersey, the first placement of its kind in our almost 110 years of history. But beyond that, FC Barcelona is deeply engaged in supporting vulnerable children by donating €1.5 million per year, with a total of €7.5 million Euros to jointly support projects aiming at combating HIV and AIDS impact on children. To date, the global alliance between FC Barcelona and UNICEF has supported more than 400,000 children, especially in sub-Saharan African countries. Next season the club is looking forward to taking the partnership to the next stage utilizing the social assets of the club in support of a global movement for education and sport that will deliver tangible results for children.

Two former nannies who worked for Nadya Suleman, better known as "Octomom," have made serious allegations against the mother of 14, claiming they witnessed child neglect and sexual abuse in the pseudo-celebrity's home.
Both former employees wish to remain nameless out of fear of litigious retaliation from Suleman, CBS2 reports, but say they decided to come forward because the abuse escalated. The women are alleging that Suleman tied her eight newborn children to their beds with cheese cloths around their waists to keep them in their cribs.
But the most serious claims allege that Suleman allowed her six older children, who range in age from 6 to 11, to physically abuse the younger ones. The younger children had black eyes and bruises, and one of the nannies told La Habra police detectives that she also witnessed sexual abuse from the children
