Peter Hall is the meteorologist for Today in Central New York and the CNY Central News at Noon each weekday.
Winter is around the corner. Time to get prepared.
The following web story is a direct transcription from the National Weather Service regarding winter weather awareness week. We are an important partner with the National Weather Service to educate and remind everyone about the many hazards that a New York winter brings and how to keep safe for the winter season. This is the second of a five part series on winter weather safety. Today's topic will focus on one of the most hazardous winter weather events central New York can experience, an ice storm.
Heavy accumulations of ice can bring down trees and power lines as well as topple utility poles and communication towers. Ice can disrupt communications and power for days while utility companies repair extensive damage. Even small accumulations of ice can be extremely dangerous to motorists and pedestrians. Bridges and overpasses are particularly dangerous because they freeze before other surfaces.
Freezing rain is the result of precipitation which initially falls as snow at higher elevations in the clouds. The precipitation then encounters a layer of warm air aloft which melts the snow as it falls and changes it to rain still up in elevation. The rain then falls and freezes on contact to streets, roadways, trees, and power lines as it encounters below freezing air right near the ground creating a film or sometimes a layer of ice on surfaces.
Most of the United States receives less than 10 hours of freezing rain annually. The highest frequency occurs in the Saint Lawrence River valley where over 40 hours of freezing rain are observed annually. Most of central New York receives 20 to 40 hours of freezing rain every year.
The National Weather Service issues ice storm warnings for ice accumulations of half an inch or more. Ice storm warnings are the most serious warnings to be aware of. Winter weather or freezing rain advisories are issued for any ice accretion for less than one-half inch. This also includes freezing drizzle.
The worst ice storm on record occurred from January 5th through 9th in 1998. Freezing rain fell for much of this period across northern New York, northern New England and the provinces of Ontario and Quebec in Canada. Ice thickness reached 3 to 5 inches with total damage exceeding 4.5 billion dollars. In the United States federal disaster areas were declared in 37 counties, where 16 people died and 18 million acres of forest was damaged by ice. Central New York also has a long history of ice storms: January 1954, December 1991 and as recently as April 2003 and January 2005.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
When your dog, bird, or water-dwelling mammal disappears, who do you call? Ace Ventura (Jim Carrey) is a low-rent private eye who specializes in recovering lost animals, so when Snowflake, the Miami Dolphins' aquatic mascot, is kidnapped, team representative Melissa Robinson (Courtney Cox) puts Ace on the case. However, Snowflake isn't the only Miami Dolphin who has gone missing; several key members of the team also disappear, including quarterback Dan Marino (who plays himself), who is spirited away while filming a TV commercial. With the Super Bowl only two weeks away, will Ace be able to find Snowflake and the missing athletes in time to salvage the big game? Ace Ventura: Pet Detective was a surprise box office smash and catapulted manic comedian Jim Carrey to stardom. The supporting cast includes Sean Young as ill-tempered Lois Einhorn, Udo Kier as the sinister Ronald Camp, and rapper Tone Loc as Ace's detective pal Emilio (Loc also wrote and performed a song for the closing credits). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The traditions of the western and the gangster film meet head-on in this dark crime drama. Jericho is a small town in Texas that in the 1920s looks much like it did in the 1860s, except that two violent gangs of rival bootleggers have driven away nearly all of the citizens not involved in the booze racket. Strozzi (Ned Eisenberg) leads a gang of Italian rum-runners with the help of his right-hand-man Giorgio (Michael Imperioli), while Doyle (David Patrick Kelly) is the head of an Irish mob, with Hickey (Christopher Walken) serving as his enforcer; the town's sheriff, Ed Galt (Bruce Dern) is powerless to stop the crime in Jericho, and he mainly tries to stay out of the way and keep an uneasy peace between Strozzi and Doyle. John Smith (Bruce Willis) is a ruthless and amoral gunman on the run from the law who passes through Jericho on his way to Mexico. Sizing up the situation, Smith quickly hatches a scheme by which he'll sell his services first to one of the gangs, and then the other, eventually turning the two sides against each other while he stays in the middle and takes the profits generated by both sides. Writer and director Walter Hill based his screenplay on Akira Kurosawa's classic samurai picture Yojimbo, which also inspired Sergio Leone's ground-breaking spaghetti western A Fistful of Dollars. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Love, treachery, and broken furniture are the hallmarks of this rollicking action drama. Dalton (Patrick Swayze) has a Ph.D., but rather than make a living teaching Socrates at some university, he's opted to become a top-drawer "cooler" -- an expert barroom bouncer who can break up fights without getting himself killed in the process. Dalton is hired to keep the peace at the Double Duce, a rough-and-tumble honky tonk in Jasper, Missouri, where beer-soaked free-for-alls are a nightly event. Dalton is hurt on his first night on the job, and he is patched up by "Doc" Clay (Kelly Lynch), a beautiful woman working as the town's physician. Dalton and Doc immediately hit it off, but Dalton learns that another man, Brad Wesley (Ben Gazzara), already has his eye on her. Wesley is a man used to getting his way; he's an extortionist and crime boss who has nearly everyone in Jasper under his thumb, and he sets out to teach Dalton a lesson, while Dalton is determined to clean up the town like he breaks up brawls at the Double Duce. Sam Elliott plays Dalton's mentor Wade, and Red West, a one-time member of Elvis Presley's "Memphis Mafia," appears as Webster; Canadian blues-rock guitarist Jeff Healey leads the Double Duce house band. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

We know we're in a 1988 film when we're invited to laugh at O.J. Simpson in an opening slapstick sequence. We can also pinpoint the year of production when hard-nosed cop Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen), during a scuffle with the world's leading dictators, wipes the wine-colored birthmark off the head of Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev. Those wacky ZAZ boys -- David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker -- serve up a feature-length spin-off of their cult favorite TV show Police Squad!. Seeking vengeance when his partner (Simpson) is shot full of holes by drug dealers, dead-pan and dead-brained Lt. Frank Drebin searches for the Mister Big behind it all. Drebin suspects above-reproach shipping magnate Vincent Ludwig (Ricardo Montalban), but he can't prove a thing. Bumped from the force by the mayor (Nancy Marchand), Drebin, with the unexpected assistance of Ludwig's ex-girlfriend (Priscilla Presley), manages to nab the bad guy at a baseball game, where Reggie Jackson has been programmed to assassinate Queen Elizabeth. MGM mogul Irving Thalberg once reportedly told the Marx Brothers, "You can't build jokes on top of jokes." The producers of Naked Gun prove otherwise; indeed, one could develop writer's cramp just listing the gags in the film's first 20 minutes. Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad was followed by two lesser but still hilarious sequels, Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) and Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

After getting his start as a visual effects artist on the original Star Wars trilogy, Spielberg protege Joe Johnston found success as a director with his debut film, the blockbuster family adventure Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. For his sophomore outing, Johnston helmed this action-adventurer, set in 1930s Hollywood and in the spirit of old pulp comics and adventure serials, and co-adapted from the David Stevens graphic novel by Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo. Bill Campbell stars as Cliff Secord, an eager young pilot who finds himself in possession of a secret jet-pack that gives him the ability to fly. Cliff soon learns that screen-star Neville Sinclair (Timothy Dalton) will stop at nothing to get his hands on the rocket pack so he can give it to the Nazis. As The Rocketeer and with a little help from his mechanic friend played by Alan Arkin, it's up to Cliff to elude Sinclair, defeat the Nazis, and save his girlfriend Jenny (Jennifer Connelly). ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

LONDON (Reuters) - Brazil's goalkeeper Rafael Cabral has been withdrawn from their Olympic Games squad with an injury to his right elbow, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) reported on Tuesday.
A scan showed the Santos keeper's elbow was badly bruised during practice on Monday and he would not recover in time to take part in the men's soccer tournament at the London Games, team doctor Jose Luis Runco said.
Fiorentina's goalkeeper Neto will replace Cabral in the first team, while 19-year-old Gabrial, from AC Milan, will be the substitute.
Coach Mano Menezes will call up a replacement, the CBF said on their official website (www.cbf.com.br).
Favorites Brazil kick off against Egypt in Group C on Thursday.

February 18, 2013 Rumor RoundupMonday, February 18The Reds invested $8.5 million in Ryan Madson last offseason, only to watch the former Phillie go down with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and miss the entire season after undergoing Tommy John surgery on April 11. Madson declined the mutual option included in his contract to hit the market for the second time in his career, and quickly drew a $3.5 million gamble from the Angels, who hoped to buy low on the recovering right-hander and thereby address their late-inning relief struggles. Now, as most Americans enjoy their Presidents Day off, Madson will come to the Angels facility in Tempe facing a big day at the office. Today's Roundup begins there… Madson could start throwing again today If Madson is able to endure a throwing session on Monday and stay pain-free for the rest of spring training, then he might be able to make his Angels debut within the first couple of weeks of the regular season. As the northpaw himself told Fletcher, his desire to accelerate his rehabilitation and strength-rebuilding process in an effort to be ready for Opening Day may have contributed to the recent setback. And, with that in mind, it seems fair to assume that when the Angels begin their campaign at Great American Ball Park on April 1, in the new scheduling format's first interleague series, they will do so without their marquee bullpen addition. General manager Jerry Dipoto did not stop looking for relief upgrades after adding Madson, though; he also picked up ex-National Sean Burnett on a two-year, $8 million deal, to serve as the primary left-handed setup man to Madson, who at that point was still on track to be the closer at the beginning of the season. Burnett is likely to stay in that role, which means that Ernesto Frieri, who came over from the Padres last May 3, will retain the ninth-inning reins for at least the first half of April. Frieri faded in the second half after a dazzling start, in which he pitched 13 consecutive hitless innings following the trade, but he still amassed a 35-to-9 K:BB over 28 innings after the All-Star break. The 28-year-old was felled by the gopher ball down the stretch, as he served up seven of them in the 28-inning span, but his track record of success against both righty and lefty batters should enable him to continue handling the closer role with aplomb.

A call for healthier options across the globe
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
6 comments posted
Americans aren't the only ones who want help making healthy choices when they're eating out.
Consumers from around the globe were asked about what they want when they eat out. The research, conducted by Unilever Food Solutions, included individuals from the U.S., United Kingdom, Germany, China, Brazil, Russia, Turkey, Poland, South Africa and Indonesia.
The researchers found that 90 percent of those polled in non-Western countries want information available to guide healthier choices. Other interesting results include:
- 70 percent of those surveyed claim that knowing nutrition content of meals would influence their choices.
- Westerners would like clearer direction about salt.
- Those in China want to know about vitamins and protein content.
Even though 66 percent of consumers say they seek the healthier option on a menu, 72 percent say they "treat themselves" when eating out. Good intentions do not always translate into action. What are the perceived barriers?
- 75 percent don't know recommended daily intake of fat.
- 57 percent believe that healthier options are more expensive.
- 45 percent say that healthy food isn't filling.
- 43 percent say that healthy options are less appetizing.
These results point out that while healthier options are wanted, they must be perceived as filling, appealing and budget-friendly.
The study provides some glimpses of how restaurants could make this happen:
- 65 percent of people say that they would like a "slightly healthier" dish when eating out.
- When presented with a healthy dish described plainly or in more appealing terms, most respondents choose the one with more appealing wording.
- Items that are higher in vegetables and lower in fat are seen as more important for health than those designated as lower in calories.
Is it possible that the tide is turning? I certainly believe so. How about you? How can restaurants make this happen?

I think it's a good change that's long overdue. Eating at a restaurant's no longer a "treat" to splurge on excess calories and junk food. There's a significant amount of people who don't care to cook everyday, so healthier options should be available to them whereever they decide to "eat out on this planet".

losing weight has been one of the most hardest things I've ever had to do in my life. I tried many things out there and I was never able to really lose the weight I wanted to.

20 years ago I had my gallbladder removed. In stead of loosing weight, I gained 20 pounds while in the hospital for 31 days. (don't ask). Within6 months of surgery, I developed asthma and was put on steroids. I continued to gain weight even though I exercised and dieted. Now I have another issue. I have fibromyalgia and vistibular migrains. My doctors have requesed me to go on the migraine diet, with limit processed foods, salt, caffine, artifical sweetners or any kind and other foods. I need help to coordinate a diet that will include requirements for both issues as well as trying to loose weight. I am 70years old, had a hystormecty at age 30 and have been fighting the weight issue forever. Please help

When I first met my boyfriend he was healthy, but now he's getting fat.
Special Offer
When my man and I first started dating, he always worked out and ate healthfully. But recently, hes been gaining weight like crazy. Meanwhile, I still look my best. Im beginning to lose my physical attraction to him. How can I tell him nicely that he needs to lose some weight?
The only reason many dudes work out in the first place is so chicks will be attracted to us. Once we have you, we lose some of our incentive to hit the gym. And men are really no different than women are when it comes to feeling down about something like disliking our job we sometimes seek solace in party-size packages of Nutter Butters. So if theres a larger emotional problem, you probably need to tackle that first.
That said, heres the upside: Guys tend to be far less uptight than women are when it comes to comments about our weight. We can even have a sense of humor about it. So I doubt you need to pussyfoot around the issue as much as you think. If you were to say teasingly to your guy Im not sure your beer-and-nachos wonder diet is working out, he would probably think you were cool for being honest and lighthearted about it.
What you must avoid is confessing that youre losing your attraction to him. Telling him that will cause nothing but resentment and insecurity. Heres the best solution: Make his weight-loss program a joint venture. Join a gym together, take him hiking, and start to eat healthy meals together. Sometimes it takes two to trim down.

BACKGROUND: Wind farms are growing in popularity as an alternative energy source, but an increasing number of critics are concerned about possible negative impacts on local weather. Researchers at Duke and Princeton Universities used computer modeling to determine any possible adverse impacts of a large wind farm in the Great Plains region.
WHAT THEY FOUND: Large groups of power-generating windmills could have a small influence on a region's climate. All large wind turbines disrupt natural airflow to extract energy from wind. During the day, the effects from the disturbed airflow are negligible, since natural turbulence mixes the lower layers of the atmosphere. But the researchers found that in the predawn hours, when the atmosphere is less turbulent, a large windmill array could influence the local climate, raising temperatures by about 2 degrees Celsius (about 4 Fahrenheit) for several hours. The rotating blades could also redirect high-speed winds down to the Earth's surface, boosting evaporation of soil moisture.
WHAT IS WIND: Wind is a form of solar energy, caused by the uneven warming of the earth's surface. This is why air masses have different temperatures and pressures, and are constantly moving to find a balance. The higher the difference in pressure, the swifter the air moves and the stronger the wind. Mankind has used wind energy for thousands of years, using it to pump water, grind flour, press olives, and even to explore the world in wind-driven sailing ships.
WHAT ARE WIND FARMS: Wind farms use windmill turbines to generate electricity by converting the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy. The wind's force is gathered by the long blades of the turbine, causing them to rotate (mechanical energy). This rotation starts a generator, which produces low-voltage electric energy.
BENEFITS: Wind power is a renewable energy source that requires no fuel to operate and does not produce any emissions that are harmful to the environment. Wind turbines are made of plastic and metallic materials, so they don't have any radioactive or chemical impact either. Wind farms take up much less space than conventional power plants, and they also don't produce noise pollution.
DRAWBACKS: Electricity produced from windmills generally costs more than that produced from traditional sources like natural gas and coal. At best, wind farms produce electricity at an efficiency rate of 30 percent, compared to a 70 percent efficiency rate from natural gas and coal. Wind energy is also unreliable. Electricity can't be stored: it must be produced on demand, yet wind is inherently unpredictable. Back-up generators are needed to make sure enough electricity is available to meet demand.
IEEE-USA and the American Society of Civil Engineers contributed to the information contained in the TV portion of this report.

Retroreflection ensures better visibility in dark, twilight or other low-light conditions. A layer of micro-sized glass beads mounted on a layer of material is used to obtain retroreflection. Surface density and size distribution of the glass beads are critical to retroreflection. At the product development department of 3M Deutschland GmbH (3M's division in Germany), we use scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) to determine these factors. We use the Scandium image analysis platform for acquisition, management, archiving and evaluation of the images. Automatic particle analysis is used for image evaluation.
The software makes it easy to see which beads belong to what class – beads are colorized accordingly. The smallest beads are green and the largest yellow. This color classification does not alter actual image data in any way. The software draws the colors in what is known as the overlay, which is just like a digital transparency placed over the actual image. When making a presentation using these results, this color classification can be transferred to the unprocessed original image. Another way of demonstrating size distribution, is by generating a bar graph of the results – one of several display options.For those of us working in the product development department, surface density and size distribution of the micro glass beads are suitable measurement quantities which enable us to compare the results of various test runs. Using digital image analysis provides decisive assistance in further developing our products and production processes.

Overall it is a very nice modern hotel. Good quality free WiFi. In theory it is in a very convenient area, within an easy walk to the West Nanjing metro... station. However there is a massive construction project in between them, so be prepared to walk an alternate (longer) route. As I believe earlier reviews may have stated, I found that the air conditioning could not be activated- so the room was a little hot. opening a small window helped a little. With these comments in mind- I would still recommend this property if you can get a good rate and want to stay in this area. My stay was actually a positive experience. – Randy New Jersey, USA-st 01/12/2013

In the nine years Pati Beardsley has been a police officer on Longboat Key, she doesn't remember a dispute like the one in which she was involved Wednesday, July 16.
Gulf of Mexico Drive was shut down around noon that day to protect the firehose placed across the road for a fire at 5060 Gulf of Mexico Drive.
Instructing drivers to turn around if they didn't have time to wait, Beardsley met Sarasota County Area Transit trolley driver Phillip Wagg, who refused to turn his trolley around and threatened to run over the charged firehose with the passengers he had on board.
Beardsley wrote in her report that Wagg became hostile and threatened to run over the hose, saying, "You can't close a road just because of a fire" and the "rich people out here think they own the whole island."
Beardsley explained that it was a criminal act to run over a charged firehose and that the explosion from the hose could damage the trolley and cause it to flip over.
Because of Wagg's repeated statements that he was going to drive over the hose, Beardsley contacted a SCAT supervisor to alert SCAT of the situation.
Although Wagg did comply with Beardsley's request, SCAT officials confirmed that Wagg, a probationary employee, was terminated from his position because of the events that unfolded that day.
See the Opinion section for a letter to the editor about Wagg.

The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 is a great phone if you've got an active lifestyle, love style but don't want to compromise on performance or affordability.
5MP | 3.8" | Android Gingerbread 2.3 | 800MHz dual core NovaThor processor | Up to 7 hours 30 minutes talk time |
The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 gives efficient multitasking and high-quality graphics for apps and games, all in a sleek & light body. There are 450,000+ apps too, so you'll have all the socialising and games you like.
Inside the Ace 2 is a 1,500mAh battery that's good for 640 hours of standby and 7 hours 30 minutes of talk time. Running Android Gingerbread but with a free upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, you'll have new software, while the 800MHz dual core processor is fast enough for most tasks. The screen is excellent for the price – at 3.8" in size combined with a resolution of 480x800 gives a screen sharpness of 246 pixels per inch (PPI). The camera is 5MP and records 720p HD video, and there's 4GB of on board storage. If that's not enough pick up a microSD card up to 32GB in size for more space (card sold separately).
To be a great phone in these hi-tech times, a smartphone needs plenty of power. The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 is equipped with an 800MHz dual core processor, enabling it to multitask, display high quality graphics and power through even the most demanding apps all day long.
You'll have a powerful 5MP camera with you at all times with the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, so you'll never miss those classic family moments. Your best mate on holiday? You can share video calls from anywhere with the built-in webcam. And if you fancy making a quick home movie, you can record in 720p HD for super crisp visuals.
Like the rest of the Galaxy family, the Ace is a smooth and comfortable phone with a great finish so it looks, well, ace. 10.5mm thick and only 122g in weight, it feels good and solid to grip, and whether you shove it in the pocket of your jeans or throw it into your clutch handbag, it's super portable.
Battery size (in mAh) | 1,500 mAh | This is the amount of electric charge in the battery of the device, measured in millampere-hours (mAh). In general, the more mAh, the longer your device will last on battery power, although it does depend on usage and the power demands of the device. |

Experts have warned the public to wait for more evidence before purchasing and consuming e-cigarettes. Writing in the British Medical Journal today (January 20th), Andreas Flouris and Dimitis Oikonomou from the Institute of Human Performance and Rehabilitation in Greece, highlighted the lack of evidence concerning e-cigarettes. The tobacco substitutes are widely available despite a lack of conclusive evidence regarding the safety of their long-term use. Drs Oikonomou and Flouris said: "Our knowledge on the acute and long term effects of e-cigarette use is, at best, very limited." They urged the public to exercise caution, and if possible, wait for at least another year for further research regarding the prolonged use of the product. E-cigarettes, or electronic cigarettes, are battery operated items which allow users to inhale a nicotine vapour. Retailers recommend them because they lack the tar and chemicals found in traditional cigarettes.

Athletic trainer, others help save teen's life
Posted: 01/29/13 at 5:10 pm Updated: 01/29/13 at 11:32 pm
Tags: Methuen Brady Barron hockey skate
METHUEN, Mass. (WHDH) -- Doctors say a high school hockey player is lucky to be alive thanks to a group of quick-thinking people after the teen's arm was cut by another player's skate.
The skate went so deep it cut right through the artery in the teen's arm.
Brady Barron, 16, shared a hug with the athletic trainer and nurse whose quick actions may have helped save the young hockey player's life.
One minute Brady was playing -- seconds later he was down on the ice bleeding from the wrist, cut by another player's skate.
"I knew I was hurt. But I didn't know what happened, but I was bleeding a lot. I saw a lot of blood. When I looked down I saw my tendon, I saw inside of my arm and it was pretty gruesome," said Barron
"I saw blood, and then knew it wasn't just a nose bleed or like a small cut. I knew more for whatever reason and just flung the door open and ran to him," said Janielle Monbleau, an athletic trainer.
Janielle Monbleau was able to quickly stop the bleeding and along with another athletic trainer, a police officer, and even an EMT from the crowd, they were all able to give Brady the lifesaving care he needed when seconds counted.
"At first nothing calmed me down. I was screaming and they said you have to stop moving your leg. They said for the blood, that…I don't know. Everyone around me feel more comfortable," said Barron.
Brady has six to nine months of rehab ahead of him, but he's hoping to play hockey next year and get back to playing drums in his band.
"I don't know if I'd call myself a hero. I just -- I did my job," said Monbleau.
"She might look at it as a working thing but she definitely saved my life and I guess you can call her a hero now," Barron said.

Bulging Galaxies
- ‹ Previous program
- 260 of 2174
- Next program ›
Like some people, some galaxies grow "bulges" around the middle as they age. In the case of a galaxy, it appears to be a healthy step in the aging process.
Many of the big galaxies in the universe are shaped like disks -- including our own galaxy, the Milky Way. But there's a lot of structure within the disks. There are fat "bulges" of stars in the middle, often surrounded by "bars" of stars that are shaped like loaves of bread. Spiral arms spin off the bars. And rings of stars can encircle the bar and the outside of the disk itself.
Over the last three decades, Texas astronomer John Kormendy has studied how the bars are responsible for much of this structure. They act like the blades of a blender, stirring up the stars and gas around them.
The stirring process dumps a lot of gas in the center of the galaxy. The gas condenses to give birth to new stars. The new stars build up the galaxy's central bulge.
The process also builds the galaxy's spiral arms, which wrap around the bulge. The arms are "waves" that ripple through the galaxy, squeezing gas clouds to give birth to new stars. And finally, the stirring creates "rings" of new stars. In some galaxies, the rings are just outside the bar. In others, they're outside the disk.
All of these steps are a natural result of how a galaxy ages. And similar processes appear to be at work in stars, star clusters, and the planet-forming disks around stars. More about that tomorrow.

I�m going to do a blog on my Madden Ultimate Team for Madden 11. To do that, I�ll have to catch you up on where my team �ULTIMATE GOOP� stands at the moment. I called the team �Ultimate Goop� because I had pink eye on the day I made the team.
Madden Ultimate Team:
If you don�t know, Ultimate Team is a mode where you get football cards. You�re only allowed to use the players on the cards you have in your collection. You play against the CPU or other players and based on your games, you get coins. With the coins, you can buy random packs of cards to refresh and improve your team. The best players are rare and only come in expensive packs, so you have to start out with a team of scrubs and build from there.
The Story So Far:
We�re currently 4-5 having started off with the likes of Jordan Palmer and Erik Ainge as our quarterback options. The best players in the starter pack was Jacob Tamme, a fullback from the Carolina Panthers with a rating of 68 and Manny Ramirez, a Lions guard rated 65. Since then, I�ve bought a few packs and upgraded to Nate Davis (SF) at QB, Dexter McCluester (KC) at WR and Terrance Cody (BAL) for a DT. Mount Cody has a 72 rating. They�re all rookies. I have one �gold� card, which is my coach, Andy Reid.
Overall Record: 4-5
Team Value: 95,300 coins

I was so broke I couldn't afford Carson Palmer. Then I got some money and did the USC collection for 300,000. Then I spent all that money and now I'm so broke again. I've got enough coins to trade my way to a couple collections.
I was so broke, I actually had to play a game for coins, you guys. That's how broke. How did this happen?
Well, firstly, I finally bought an Asomuagh. Then I bought a Legendary Champ Bailey for 500,000. That wiped me out pretty well and then I started spending on the USC and Texas collections. The USC one started to look easier, so I went for that one. Then I accidentally bought two Sam Bakers. I had to play a game to get enough coins for Carson and, as I was getting the Elite Polamalu, a guy messaged me saying I�d won three of his auctions for 310,000. I had about 316,000. I thought abought only buying 2/3, but then I realized I might not get another chance to grab Mangold, Jahri Evans and Vernon Davis for cheap. So I bought them all. Now I�m poor again. It would actually be more profitable for me to finish the 2nd Edition rookies now than the Texas collection, which is good, because in my one and only game, my Legendary Brian Urlacher tore his groin and I might need the Mayo.
I�m a little sad that I had to turn in my 2nd edition Clay Matthews, because I still haven�t achieved my goal of having a completely interchangeable defense that looks good in 4-3, 3-4, bump coverage and speed coverage. I�ve got the coverage nailed (it takes 7 specific CBs, btw), and the 4-3, but I still don�t have an top-flight true nose tackle or a pass-rushing LOLB to complete the 3-4 look. Shaun Rogers and a re-purposed Brian Urlacher are as close as I get.

I assume that having played this game for as long as I have, I�m bound to have been scammed before now, and maybe I have been and didn�t know it. I once had a Suh get sniped, could�ve been from a janky account. At any rate, I most definitely got scammed yesterday and it sucked. I paid 99,000 for a Jay Feely Fantasy card, thinking it was part of buying an Asomuagh. It wasn�t. Joke�s on him though, because now I�m using Feely as my kicker and I can appreciate his foot speed.
I didn�t lose all faith, but I did invite a trusted trade partner to backup my next deal and I finally got an Asomuagh. It cost me 200,000and my Nick Mangold. You probably didn�t know I had a Nick Mangold, but I traded my Larry Fitzgerald for it. All-in-all, I�m happy to have Asomuagh since he is not only very good, but a better press corner than Darrelle Revis. Now, I can put out my best 3 CBs and have press ratings of 97, 80 and 88 with a 95 coming into play dime. Or if I want speed, I put in DRC to play dime.
I�ve also finished three collections and picked up a Legendary Brian Urlacher, a Legendary Larry Johnson (to be used in goal line situations? I dunno) and an extra Legendary Julian Peterson (to be sold). I also bought a Steve Hutchinson for 53,000 because the AH got flooded. I closed out the 2nd Edition #1 collection to score myself 300,000 and a Randy Moss (3rd Edition.) This is less like a blog entry and more like a list. I also won my first overtime game in Ultimate Team. I still hate the new rules.

A Moment of Silence
Amongst the mirth of loading up on Platinum weekend, a sad moment occurred when my team, Ultimate Goop, finally reached the point where it was good enough to part ways with Dunta Robinson. He had many interceptions and was the longest tenured member of the team (not including BCA Lance Briggs and Clay Matthews, who are, less face it, cheating the system). He will be missed.
Platinum Weekend is crazy. I�ve gotten about 20 alternate jersey cards and I�d never seen one before last week. I�ve got another Roddy White 2.0 that I�m trying to trade for something spiffy. I basically have turned over the entire roster, but have only improved a little. The highlights would have to be FF Greg Jennings (94 ovr), Brandon Marshall (96 ovr), FF DeAngelo Hall (88 OVR), Rashean Mathis (93 OVR), Insert Jason taylor (99 OVR) and Jay Ratliff (94 OVR). Everyone and their mom is getting the Taylor though, and I�m already over-over booked at WR, so the Marshall kinda sucks.
I also bought some goodies, including a FF Desean Jackson (93 OVR), a Greg Camarillo (for the 2nd edition collection), Jacoby Ford (for the rookies collection), and in general, I�m starting to shift towards buying the cards I need since the auction block is flooded.

Being Sneaky
A guy offered me 70k for my Lofa Tatupu (88 ovr), but I didn't want to sell it because I wanted to finish the Seahawks collection to get Legendary Julian Peterson. Then he offered 85k and not much later, I saw that Peterson could be bought off the auction block for 33,000. So I did the whole thing. Shortcuts rock.

Getting Better
I�m getting better at winning with my 94 OVR team, and I�m having fun again, but also wondering� what�s the point of this game? Is it to build the best team? What does that mean? Best OVR? Or highest card value? Or is the point to fill up all 60+ collections? Or is it just to get the coolest cards on your team?
I ask, because it affects my strategy. If the point is to get the highest OVR, then I should never let go of my FF Phillip Rivers (97 OVR), Reggie Wayne (96 OVR), Larry Fitzgerald (97 OVR), Troy Polamalu (97 OVR), Rookie Chris Johnson (99 OVR), etc� In fact, I wouldn�t ever use up my Tom Brady� or FF Michael Vick and then I�d have 3 QBs and only ever use one. Likewise, I have four WRs rated over 90. I�ve been looking forward to getting rid of my Polamalu, because he bumps my OVR by 2 full points all by himself, but I don�t feel like my team is that much better off than they�d be with an 88 at safety.
So if the point is winning games, then my most valuable cards are Reggie Bush (83 OVR) for kick returns and pure speed routes, Vontae Davis 2.0 (86 OVR), for his press coverage, and Aaron Rogers because he�s as good as Brady, but can scramble in a pinch�
Or is the point is to complete collections? I just finished the 1st Round rookies and now I�ve got 15 completed collections, but that doesn�t even show on the leaderboards! What about spending coins? That�s a symbol of how many you�ve earned, but it has little to do with how �good� you are at Ultimate Team.
Thoughts? What makes a �good� Ultimate Team player?

Not That Fun Right Now
You'll notice when I last wrote, my record was 69-39. Now it's 69-48. Technically, that's a nine game losing streak. Why? Because I'm the only honest person who finishes a game, even when I'm losing. Since I boosted my team up to a 92, playing games has become almost uniformly not fun. Everyone at this level cheats, quits or is a Madden savant. I just finished a game where Aaron Rodgers fumbled for me 3/4 times he was tackled. Three fumbles on four tackles.
Plus, it takes 30 minutes to start a game, because everyone quits when they see my 92. The only people who want to play me are cheesers, cheaters and people with 98 OVR.
Now the losing streak isn't really as bad as it seems. I've had 4 definite wins or so where I was quit on. I've also had some straight up cheaters beat me. I've been playing pretty poorly though, because I'm completely demoralized, not only about playing Madden, but about the human condition. Such rampant cheating and quitting is just dispiriting. The one position I haven't improved in is CB and it's killing me. Everyone else has 90+ CBs that close massive gaps instantaneously. I'm looking forward to using up all my studs so I can go back to an 85 or so, but stupidly, I extended all their contracts.

Still Ultimating
With ultimate Weekend still rolling, I am racking up the Gold cards. I still haven't grabbed any inserts, but I've got some more highlights to report:
Troy Polamalu 97 OVR
Ray Lewis 95 OVR
Kris Jenkins 94 OVR
Sergio Kindle (Very rare rookie)
Tony Romo 90 OVR
Bears 1947 Throwback Jersey
I read that you get the best cards if you buy at 16 and 46 past the hour, which is actually panning out, but it's slowing me down. I had 588,000 coins at the start of the weekend, and I've still got 399,887 to burn. I'm going to start buying 4-5 packs an hour. When the money runs out, all I need is Sam Bradford to get 500,000 more which I'll spend on completing the core collections. Lions might be first since I've already banked Calving Johnson.

Ultimate Awesome
Ultimate Weekend has already irritated my girlfriend. If you don't know, Ultimate Weekend means better cards come out of Ultimate Packs. I've saved up 500,000 coins for this. Highlights include Brett Favre (92 OVR), Roddy White (97 OVR), and Antoine Bethea (95 OVR).
My team is up to 88 OVR and I want it known that in my first match-up with a 90, I won 35-7 and got 1750 coins.

Holding Pattern
Since my last update, not much has changed on my roster. Sure, we've had some QB roulette from Carson Palmer to Vince Young to Kevin Kolb with a dash of Tebow and Demaryius Thomas has turned out to be a nasty deep threat. Mostly, I'm grinding auctions and saving coins for the next Ultimate Weekend. I'm patching up contracts here and there to keep the gold team together but my OVR has slipped as low as 82.
I'm desperately trying to find a Gerald McCoy card without having to resort to the EA boards. Blech. I missed a buyout lst night by 1 minute. One minute sooner and I could've had a McCoy for the minimum buyout and been on my way to 500,000 more coins. 'Till then, i'm grinding through Gold packs to get more coins and unwrap the occasionally 1st Round rookie for that collection. It's slow going though.

If It Kept on Raining, The Levy Was Gonna Break
It finally happened. I got so many coins, I was able to start buying out the last of the 2nd round rookies. When I was able to steal a Jimmy Clausen card for the minimum buyout price, it was all over. I also managed to score a Tony Moeaki, and the last couple of playbooks and uniforms I needed. Finishing those collections brought me about 700,000 coins. Since my balance had just broken 100,000, this was a big deal. There was an Ultimate Weekend and a Give Back Weekend, so I've been able to spend big money on packs and get a rash of gold cards and even, I kid you not, one Fantasy card (a Hakeen Nicks, 88 ovr!).
I've still got 558,965 coins. The last 50,000 were spent on an Eric berry auction. Now I just need Gerald McCoy and the 1st round collection will start to come together. I've already got Demaryius Thomas.
Now, I'll vainly list some the gold cards I've pulled lately. Unfortunately, they've been mostly offense:
Kris Dielman, LG, 95 OVR
Calvin Johnson (THE MEGATRON), WR, 91 OVR
Michael Griffin, FS, 91 OVR
D'Brickshaw Ferguson, LT, 90 OVR
Alan Faneca, LG, 89 OVR
Ahmad Bradshaw, HB, 88 OVR
Gary Brackett, MLB, 87 OVR
Brent Celek, TE, 87 OVR
Vonta Davis, CB, 82 OVR (but 95 at press coverage!)
Devin Hester, WR, 78 OVR (but 98 speed for running corner routes. I was finally able to drop Ted Ginn the way Ted Ginn drops passes!)

Madden Ultimate Team doesn't really keep stats. It would be a mess anyway, since I've probably had about 300 different players in my starting lineup. But I love stats , so I'm going to makeup a leader board for my team in this update.
Mark Sanchez (BCA) has been my quarterback on and off, so I have to think he is the leading passer in terms of both touchdowns and yardage. I haven't extended the contracts off any other QBs and am still using Tebow and Joe Webb for specialty plays.
Ahmad Bradshaw (BCA) has been my stud running back since I got him. I keep extending his contract, but next time he runs out, I may give Cadillac Willams a turn. It should be noted that when I go into the wildcat, Dexter McCluster � racks up yards and TDs on reverses. Possibly more than any other RB I've had.
McCluster � takes the cake here too, because I had his first edition card and soon after it expired, I pulled his 2nd edition card which is even better. Mardy Gillyard � probably had the 2nd most catches and yards, but in the red zone I used to rely on Juagin Iglesias. Right now, I'm rocking the gold Jericho Cotchery card .
My longest tenured blocker was probably Rodger Saffold � but he has expired. He was my LT until I pulled two Bryan Bulaga cards. I got my center, Maurkice Pouncey, with 50+ games on his contract, so he may be around forever.
My top tackler is probably a close race between my two breast cancer awareness linebackers, Lance Briggs and Clay Matthews. I'm going to give it to Matthews, because I'll be mentioning Briggs again soon.
I'm pretty sure that Ndamukong Suh � is my leading sacker, even though most of my sacks come on edge rushes to catch scramble-spammers. My ends have been constantly changing, though I remember Darrell Reid and Brandon Graham � getting to the QB fairly consistently.
Lance Briggs is always lurking in the middle, but people love to try to beat my 2nd corner. First, I hid Chris Cook � there and he racked up the most interceptions, but I've since upgraded to Joe Haden � who is gaining fast.
My favorite kicker is Rhys Lloyd because he gets touchbacks and can bomb field goals. I've had David Buehler.
Brett Kern punts the most.
Kick/Punt returns:
Far and away, Stephan Logan is my leading returner. I've tried McCluster and Terry Ginn back there, but Logan is the touchdown maker. I've probably had 10 KR for TD and 2 PR for TD with Logan back there.
I have no idea what coach has been best, but I'm rocking the Wisenhunt currently.

It's Been Awhile
I had a massive losing streak right after my last post, but I seem to have righted the ship. I had my Team OVR as high as 79, but it's floated back to 75 with Tebow at QB and my two pink linebacker cards riding the pine. I've been buying up rookie cards on the auction block, since they're cheaper to extend and I've actually got 79,000 coins in my bank right now. Now that I'm able to auction off spare cards and finish collections, my finances are much better.
How Bad I beat People
My last two games were quitters, but let me describe. The first one got a 14-0 lead on me and I came thundering back. He quit when it was 42-14 after a fumbled KO return turned into a TD for me. I tried to let up. The next one, Chriss Cook had INT returns for TD on the first two opening drives. It�s time to let you know about the rest of my defense.

Finally, A Breakthrough
I got two Colt McCoy cards and sold one for 18,000. (A steal, I know, but I didn't get how cutthroat the auction block can be.) Then, I used the Auction Block to finish off the AFC coaches collection for 25,000 coins. Then I used that money to finish the NFC coaches and that money to finish AFC stadiums. I now have 44,000 coins and am two stadiums away from 25,000 more. I've bought a bunch of silver packs to load up on contract cards and I'm finally getting past the curve. I even splurged on a Brian Price card with 28 games on it. Now I have an actually DT. I bought a premium pack and got 2 gold players. I bid on a Maurkice Pouncey.
Instead of ranting about my successes any longer, I'll just throw out my starting offensive lineup. Defense to come later.

I Lost All My Studs
My 5 games with my pink card guys are up. I still have Richard Marshall, because he's been hurt and 2 games left with Clay Matthews. I'm downgrading from from Mark Sanchez to Colt McCoy. I have no idea, who I'll use as a halfback and I can't pass rush the way I used to. I've only got two legit DTs, and they're both lvl60. I have a pink contract extension that will get me 24 games for my pink players, but I can't decide if I want to spend it on Marshall or Ahmad Bradshaw. I guess the CB is probably more important.
Pissin' Me Off
Quitters are still pissing me off. I was beating a guy 58-14 and he quit with 30 seconds left. I wrote and called him a jerk. I can think of other things to call him. Since it's double coins weekend, I figure that cost me an hour and about 4,500 coins. I'm only 4 coaches away from getting a 25,000 coin bonus though, so I'll try to move on.

Boobs to the Rescue
Wild changes have occurred with my Madden Ultimate Team. I broke down and spent 400MSP a Breast Cancer Awareness pack, because I love boobies. I got Mark Sanchez, Ahmad Bradshaw, Lance Briggs, Clay Matthews and Richard Marshall. It translated into my first user sack and 4 straight wins. I'm a little worried, because my overall skill shot up to 75, but I still have bronze cards playing on both sides of the line and receivers with the dropsies.
Double coin weekend is also awesome. I've gotten 4 games in and earned about 11,000 coins in them. That's allowed me to buy better packs and get some more rookies.
What Would I do With 25,000 Coins? I'm also 5 cards away from completing the AFC coach collection. That would get me 25,000 coins and a unique card which is the point where I'll allow myself to buy a platinum pack. I think the 5 coaches I need would cost me a little over 3,500. I'd be even closer if I hadn't accidentally discarded a Gary Kubiak card.
