ALAN ROBINSON, AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) — No one needs to tell Sidney Crosby about the enormous expectations building in his homeland for Canada's Olympic hockey team. The Vancouver Games don't begin for another two months, yet it's almost as if they start tomorrow.
Canada's TV listings offer a clue: Nine networks and cable channels, including CTV, Rogers Sportsnet and TSN, the country's version of ESPN, recently aired Part 1 of a special titled "Sid the Kid V. Alexander The Great," exploring the rivalry between Crosby and Russia's Alexander Ovechkin. Part 2 airs closer to the games.
Canada realistically expects Crosby and Ovechkin, arguably the sport's two biggest stars, to meet on the ice in Vancouver. Canada expects it might be for the gold medal. Canada also expects to win. There can be no silver medal, not in these games, not on home ice.
Not with Sidney Crosby wearing the maple leaf in the Olympics for the first time.
"Oh, yes," Pittsburgh Penguins teammate Marc-Andre Fleury, himself a possible Canadian goalie, said Monday when asked if the burden on Team Canada is huge. "My parents told me people have been talking about it for a year. Hockey in Canada is like football in the U.S. Everybody expects Canada to do well and to win — and nothing else."
Especially now that Crosby, who led the Penguins to the Stanley Cup at age 21 in June, is likely to be centering Canada's top line for the first time.
Crosby, then 18 and an NHL rookie, was passed over in 2006 as executive director Wayne Gretzky stayed loyal to many of the players who helped win Canada's first gold in 50 years at Salt Lake City in 2002. Publicly, Crosby downplayed the snub, but he was disappointed and motivated by it.
Four years later, he is as close to a lock as it gets, although Canada's team — to make certain the key players are healthy, productive and ready to go — won't be chosen until Dec. 31.
Once the team is selected, the message will be clear: There can be no repeat of Turin in 2006. Then, an entire country gathered around TV sets to watch these games in near disbelief: Switzerland 2, Canada 0. Finland 2, Canada 0. Russia 2, Canada 0.
Crosby's young, fresh legs and impossible-to-quantify desire might have helped prevent such an embarrassment, despite his youth and relative inexperience on the international stage. He couldn't do anything about the lack of a medal then, but Canada is asking him to rectify it now.
Guess what? If Crosby weren't a player but merely a spectator watching in his hometown of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, he'd have huge expectations for a team that is expected to include Martin Brodeur, Rick Nash, Dany Heatley, Jonathan Toews, Scott Niedermayer and Chris Pronger.
"You know what?" he said Monday. "That's something as Canadians that we've grown up around. We've all watched it, and we've probably been the fan expecting good results. I think that's typical and that's to be expected. There's nothing wrong with that. It's always been that way."
Canada's would-be Olympians won't say so, but most are watching NHL boxscores, speculating about who they might play alongside — if only because there won't be much time to prepare once the Olympics arrive. Crosby is among those who will play NHL games on Sunday, Feb. 14, leave for Vancouver immediately afterward, practice on Feb. 15 and play Norway on Feb. 16.
It's taken Canada four years to get over Turin, yet its next hockey team won't have 48 hours together to bond, become comfortable, become a team.
"I think Hockey Canada's done a great job. They had the orientation camp (in August), they've let everyone know what's to be expected of the guys who make the team," Crosby said. "I think they've covered everything and it's up to the decision-making process to decide what's going to happen."
As the Olympics draw closer, Crosby is certain it won't become a distraction as the Penguins try to repeat as Stanley Cup champions. To him, playing well for your NHL team is the best possible way to prepare for Vancouver.
"Use it as your motivation and make sure your game is as good as it can be," he said. "The closer it comes, the more motivation you should have to be at your best."
After all, maybe the next Sidney Crosby will be eagerly watching, waiting and anticipating an Olympic gold medal, just as Crosby did as a 10-year-old during the 1998 Olympics in Nagano.
"There's a lot of people following it, and with good reason," he said. "(In Canada), we think about hockey."

RacerX - COME ON.
You seriously have Zach Bell, Jeremy Martain, Justin Hill, and Gavin Faith on this poll but you left out Darryn Durham??? You have to be insane.
Yeah, he missed the nationals so people might forget that he got his first win last year and multiple podium's and top 5's before getting injured..
I posted that before reading the SX East notes. Whoops... anyways, go Deano
You hit "submit," changed articles, read a page, returned here, composed the above, and hit submit again.
In 2 minutes.
Pretty good.
This week's edition of COM'ON MAN belongs to the writer of Racer X polls! Good Grief.......Spagina is right on.
Guys, please read the East Region Preview before commenting. Durham, Bogle, Izzi, A. Martin are all out with injuries. That is why they are not listed on the poll.
I repeat Chase just for the sake of pounding the point home: Durham, Bogle and Izzi aren't racing, they're out injured. We didn't forget them--they're just not going to be able to win the title this year so we're not putting them in this poll. We knew this would happen!
Not much competetion here as compared to the West, in my opinion, but on 2 guys have wins in the West, so maybe they are about the same.. Wilson should walk away with this, maybe Musquin..
Actually, I hit submit, went to the other page to read the East preview, noticed immediately that Durham is out.. you know, since they listed his team at the top of the page, and then came back here to claim my mistake. So, dont give me all the credit... i didn't read the whole article before correcting my mistake.. didnt want one of the Supercross Keyboard Specialists on here to chew me out, ya know

WTF what about Izzi?
Just kidding you cry babies.
Another good reason to elimanate this forums..Now we have the staff in a full on brawl !! LOL !!
Learn to read people - MX Bob Weege is AGREEING with Chase - not in conflict with him!
Musquin wins - Wilson - like tomac is going to be the fstest - slightly, but will make a big mistake and give it away I feel. That is why he has not won a supercross title yet - bad races. Musquin is going real good at the test track I hear...REAL GOOD.
East Coast should boil down to a battle between a Scotsman (Wilson) and a Frenchman (Musquin). Top American should be a battle of Texans, Wharton and Hahn. Rookie honors will be a battle between Martin and Bell...
I will be worried for Wilson if he doesnt secure the title this year with the current line up. Wharton is too inconsistent imo. Would like to see Musquin challenge to make it interesting for ktm this year. Finally, I think Gavin Faith will get in there and challenge for some podiums. Just my gut feelings, who knows.
So, how tall is Dean'o this year? 6'11, 6'12? He might be able to reach out and cross the finish line, without ever leaving the start gate.
Seems like decades since he's raced. I wonder if he still speaks Scotcheze...
He is 5'11 How about your man Dorner !! LOL !!
Glad we got out of your neck of the woods and get to some nice weather !!
Haha - posted at 12:05 in the Insight article: "Dean Wilson is the favorite for the East Region title." then, posted at 12:10 - a poll: "WHO IS THE FAVORITE IN 250 EAST?" Oops!
Anyhoo - everyone will be doing well to beat the consistency and speed of Musquin and Wilson. This is Wilson's best chance to clinch and indoor title (albeit regional) to go with his MX national championship.
Also - I reckon Gavin Faith will surprise some people. He's a big dude so starts might be an issue (see Eli Tomac) but if he nails his starts, he's coming.
Wharton all the way! @RCDirtBikeAction: Wharton is not inconsistent! I hope he takes it all and gets the recognition he deserves! HE missed 2nd last year by 1 point and topped Musquin!
Hey you lil spud ...Wharton will crash at the stadium 1st round !!
You left out Mookie....................................
Sorry had to upset you guys (laughing here.)
@MX Bob: We'll see. Just have a little faith! Wharton is awesome!
I voted for Musquin even though I think Wilson will take it. I just couldn't vote for Wilson after all the whining last year. Sorry Deano, but you tried to clean out Tomac twice, so you had it coming.
Marvin Muskquim may have somethin for the big East ...the guy can ride. Wharton needs to not put up with the pin ball action this go round and go all Denzel on em.......If they have preperated that shoulder and have it duct taped up all proper and what not DW will romp......just combine the classes run them like the big dogs and cut the crap next year.... ......
where the hells bogle
ACmx960 Bogle inured his wrist in December and is letting it heal up 100% before he races...
I wonder if rookies Bell- Martin -Hill will have as big an impact as the rookies on the west did - Nelson- Savatgy- Politelli?
lol lets try.. injured his wrist
Musquin and Wilson gonna fight for it if you ask me. In the end wilson will make more mistakes and Musquin will take it...
Hard to exactly tell but thats how I assume it^^
Darryn Durham!!
Durham just doesn't seem to have any mental ability to win a championship.
I doubt you will see Izzi just yet as he is just starting rehabbing his injury.
Amazing all the winners that don't read before they comment.......

Tornadoes and Climate Change
What causes a tornado?
Tornadoes are formed by a combination of atmospheric instability and wind shear. Instability occurs when warm, moist air is wedged under drier, cooler air aloft. This warm air rises, causing the intense updrafts and downdrafts seen in strong thunderstorms — the incubators of tornadoes. Wind shear refers to changes in wind direction and speed at different elevations in the atmosphere. The combination of instability and wind shear forms the circular air flow that generates a tornado.
Why are there so many in the U.S. Midwest?
The Central United States has an abundance of the ingredients necessary for tornado formation. During the spring, warm tropical air masses from the Gulf of Mexico collide with colder, drier air at higher altitudes to spawn intense thunderstorms. Thunderstorms also form into the summer and fall, as the region's vast plains heat up air near the surface, causing atmospheric instability. These intense thunderstorms act as incubators for tornadoes. Tornadoes occur around the world but are most common in "Tornado Alley" of the Central United States.
Is there a link between climate change and tornadoes?
It is important to keep in mind that climate change has an impact on all weather events. The effect of the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere cannot be switched off – it influences our seemingly benign "everyday" or "normal" weather as well as the extreme events.
A specific link between tornadoes and climate change, however, is unclear. It is difficult to identify and diagnose trends in long-term records of tornadoes, since the population in many areas affected by tornadoes has grown (e.g., tornadoes in the early part of the 20th century may have occurred without anyone seeing them) and the technology used to observe tornadoes has improved (e.g., radars help us "see" tornadoes in ways that were not possible many decades ago).
How could climate change affect the frequency or intensity of tornadoes?
Researchers are working to better understand how the building blocks for tornadoes -- atmospheric instability and wind shear -- will respond to global warming. It is likely that a warmer, moister world would allow for more frequent instability. However, it is also likely that a warmer world would lessen chances for wind shear. Recent trends for these quantities in the Midwest during the spring are inconclusive. It is also possible that these changes could shift the timing of tornadoes or regions that are most likely to be hit.
Adding to the difficulty, tornadoes are too geographically small to be well simulated by climate models. Models can simulate some of the conditions that contribute to forming severe thunderstorms that often spawn tornadoes. Multiple studies (e.g., here and here) find the conditions that produce the most severe thunderstorms are likely to occur more often in the in a warmer world, even if the total number of thunderstorms decreases (because of fewer weak storms). However, this work does not conclusively tell us whether tornadoes should follow the same trend as their parent thunderstorms.
Extreme Weather
Extreme Weather Event Map: Click on any icon on the map above to see details on the extent of an extreme weather event between 1990 and 2012.
Extreme Weather Events Map
The events shown above are examples of four types of extreme weather that scientists say are becoming more frequent and intense because of climate change: extreme heat, drought, wildfires, and heavy precipitation. Individual events cannot be blamed on any single cause. However, the long-term trends in these types of events demonstrate that extreme weather risk is rising as a result of climate change. Each new event is an opportunity to better understand our vulnerabilities and ways to cope with these rising risks. Examined together, these events also can help us evaluate the benefits of actions and policies aimed at reducing the emissions of heat-trapping gases that are warming the planet and "juicing up the weather".
Here are two C2ES papers taking a closer look at the trends shown in the map and how we can respond:
- Extreme Weather and Climate Change: Understanding the Link, Managing the Risk
This primer examines the link between extreme weather and climate change, presenting it in a risk management framework that can help to clarify and manage the rising risk of extreme weather and prepare for future vulnerabilities. - A Climate of Extreme Weather Events
This background paper outlines the evidence showing the increasing risk and incidence of flooding, heat waves, wildfires and drought in the United States.
Scientific American Series on Extreme Weather, Climate Change, and the Risks We Face
Published in three parts in June 2011, this series in Scientific American provides firsthand accounts of record-breaking weather events, insights into their links to climate change, and what can be done to manage the growing risks. The articles were written by science journalist John Carey with support from C2ES.

Recapping a year of weather extremes
President Obama's forceful call for climate action in his inaugural address came after a year when climate change was barely whispered in the presidential campaign but its effects were loud and clear here in the United States and around the world.
How climate change amplified Sandy's impacts
As Hurricane Sandy moves out of the region, people in affected areas are beginning to take stock of the damage. Flooding in parts of New Jersey and New York from the storm surge hit record levels. The 13.8-foot surge measured at Battery Park in Lower Manhattan surpassed the all-time record of 11.2 feet set in 1821, flooding the New York subway system and two major commuter tunnels. Along the Eastern Seaboard, an estimated 7.5 million people lost power. Farther inland, blizzard conditions dropped as much as 2 feet of snow as Sandy crashed into arctic air over the Midwest. While early estimates indicate direct damages from the hurricane may be as much as $20 billion, the total economic losses, including losses in consumer and business spending, could be more than twice that amount.
A number of climate change-related factors may well have intensified the storm's impact: higher ocean temperatures, higher sea levels, and an atmospheric traffic jam that may be related to Arctic melting. Hurricane Sandy is also a clear reminder of how vulnerable our homes and infrastructure already are to extreme weather — and this risk is growing.
Climate Change and Hurricane Sandy
Download a PDF of this Factsheet
Hurricane Sandy is a stark reminder of the rising risks of climate change. A number of warming-related factors may well have intensified the storm's impact. Higher ocean temperatures contributed to heavier rainfall. Higher sea levels produced stronger storm surges. New research suggests that Arctic melting may be increasing the risk of the kind of atmospheric traffic jam that drove Sandy inland. While no single weather event can be said to have been directly caused by climate change, our weather now is the product of our changing climate, as increased warming raises the probability of extreme weather events. In highlighting our vulnerabilities to extreme weather, Hurricane Sandy underscores two imperatives: We need to reduce the risks of climate change by reducing our carbon emissions, and we must strengthen our defenses against future impacts that it may be too late to avoid.
Enhanced Precipitation
Warming increases the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. Globally, the resulting increases in heavy precipitation are well documented. Like Hurricane Irene last year, Sandy carried an unusual amount of moisture, which increased the risk of very heavy precipitation within its path. Much of the warming from climate change occurs in the ocean, and this year's sea surface temperatures are well above normal. September saw the second highest ocean temperatures on record globally. Sandy spent significant time over uncommonly warm sea surface temperatures – 5 degrees above normal -- boosting the amount of moisture available to rain down on the Northeast U.S.
Sea Level Rise
Recent studies have identified the Northeast U.S. as a "hotspot" of accelerated sea level rise. Over the past 30 years, sea levels in the region have risen four times faster than the global average, increasing the risk of storm surges and flooding. During a storm surge, a matter of inches can mean the difference between safety and extensive flooding. Hurricane Sandy's storm surge was exacerbated by both the warming-driven sea-level rise and the timing of the lunar cycle. Sandy occurred during the astronomical high tide, which is 2 to 3 inches above a normal high tide. Global sea level has already increased by 4 inches since 1950, creating the equivalent of a fulltime astronomical high tide. In New York, a record storm surge 13 feet above mean low water level flooded parts of lower Manhattan and poured into subway tunnels.
Atlantic Traffic Jam
Hurricane Sandy encountered a "traffic jam" in the North Atlantic, known as a "block" to meteorologists. This block did not allow Sandy to track out to sea like most northeast storms. Meanwhile, a storm associated with some very cold air over the Midwest also ran into this Atlantic traffic jam, resulting in an unusual "hybrid" storm. Recent research has shown that these blocking events and fall cold outbreaks are related to sea ice loss in the Arctic. In short, open water in the arctic helps break down the barrier between high- and mid-latitude weather, which increases the risk of cold outbreaks and blocking events. Hurricane Sandy seems to have tracked into the middle of one of these unusual meanders in the jet stream. While this is an evolving field of research and these conditions could have occurred in the absence of climate change, there is growing evidence that climate change is increasing the risk of extreme atmospheric arrangements.
Hurricane Sandy provides important lessons about our vulnerability to the kinds of extreme weather likely to become more common in a warming world. Our levees, sea walls and other infrastructure were built to cope with the extreme weather risks of the 20th century. Sandy is offering an opportunity to see where we fall short in preparations for the 21st century.
Elliot Diringer's Statement on Hurricane Sandy
Statement from Elliot Diringer
Executive Vice President, Center for Climate and Energy Solutions
Oct. 29, 2012
Hurricane Sandy is a stark reminder of the rising risks of climate change. While climate change didn't cause the hurricane, a number of warming-related factors may well be intensifying its impact.
Higher ocean temperatures, in this case 5 degrees above normal, contribute to heavier rainfall. Higher sea level means stronger storm surges. And new research suggests that Arctic melting may be increasing the risk of the kind of atmospheric traffic jam that is driving Sandy inland.
But whatever's behind it, Sandy clearly highlights our vulnerabilities to extreme weather. We've loaded the dice and events we once thought of as rare are becoming more common.
At a minimum, this is another foretaste of what we face in a warming world. It tells us two things: We'd better do all we can to reduce the risks by reducing our carbon emissions, and we'd better strengthen our defenses against future impacts that it's already too late to avoid.

Climate silence will cost the United States
I recently replied to ta question on the National Journal blog, "How is the absence of discussion about global warming going to affect our ability to do something about it?"
You can read more on the original blog post and other responses at the National Journal.
Here is my response:
Increasing extreme weather is costly in many ways
A report released this week by two senior members of Congress notes that the unusual number of extreme weather events in 2012 has cost the country billions of dollars and that the unusual frequency of these events is consistent with what scientists have predicted from climate change.
The staff report, "Going to Extremes: Climate Change and the Increasing Risk of Weather Disasters" is from the offices of Reps. Edward Markey (D-MA) and Henry Waxman (D-CA), the prime movers behind the last attempt at significant climate legislation. It cites information from a variety of sources, including NOAA, the news media and the private sector to show how rising weather risk costs real money.
Their report comes a week after Congress headed home for the elections having accomplished very little to address climate change. Nearly half the bills introduced by the current Congress would block or hinder climate action, though none of these have been enacted into law.

According to @HAZE-Unit who got the game early, it is much faster for getting into races with GT6 than GT5, with a better menu system to boot too :) .
Thank the heavens!

Alright, I respect that, and agree. There was a lot of useless features in GT5 while some of the more useful didn't get enough attention.
Hopefully GT6 will improve on that.

Bingo, a higher res shouldn't make a game exclusive. Hell looks like 90% of the XBOX ONE titles are exclusive to the PS4 it that's the case .. bazing!
You mean the PC has acquired such exclusives since the PC supports higher resolutions than "1080p" or "900p."

Well, that's good news. It'll be awesome to see new TitanFall stuff, but I'm pulling for Fallout 4. Nothing else truly matters.
That's very good news if true regarding all standard cars. The standard cars in GT5 were sore on the eye.
No. Enhanced framerate and graphics does not warrant exclusivity.

2011 and 2012 saw a lot of high quality PSN games as well, but we're not talking about indie games and I didn't mention any in the first place. For full-featured AAA games (that is, games with huge budgets), Sony has for the last few years brought out the most unique and intriguing software. You acknowledged it and I said it. We don't disagree, so let's not try to find room to disagree just for the sake of disagreeing. I'm not in the mood for it or any other brand of intellectual dishonesty and speciousness, frankly.
Unless you have a strong inclination to play Gears of War Judgement or 3 (and not even hardcore Gears players like those games)...or Halo 4 (hardcore Halo players recognize it as the worst entry into the franchise)...or Forza Horizon (one step forward, two steps back), there was little over the last couple of years for 360 owners to get excited about. Very damn little. Instead of letting Rare develop Conker, Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark, Banjo & Kazooie, and Kameo, they pushed them towards Kinect Sports and similar. They let Bungie simply walk away. Remedy gave the 360 one game in its entire lifetime before moving onto the One for Quantum Break. A number of other studios were closed along the way like Digital Anvil.
The 360 was held together, IMO, by the strength of multi-platform franchises and brands since the launch of Kinect. You know, the Call of Dutys, Maddens, NBA2K's, Maaaahvel's, Street Fighters, and GTA's of the gaming world. That's just the truth of it coming from someone who's been an Xbox Live gamer since the month after it came out on the O.G. Xbox. So you don't need to talk to me like I'm one of these new, lost cubs on this forum. We started posting here at GS damn near the same time. Anyone saying the last few years of 360 gaming were good days for major exclusive franchises is lying to themselves. So again, here's hoping the next few years for the One look more like the first few years for the 360, and less like the last few years of the 360. More risks, more creative titles, and the revival of more dormant IPs.
Your tune is changing then to selectively omit titles that did bring creativity to the table. Are they triple A budgeted games? Of course not, but as a gamer, should we only care about games because they have high budgets? I'm afraid I don't ride that train of elitism nor do I plan on riding it anytime soon. If a game like Journey (Gamespot's 2012 Game of the Year) can beat out those "triple A" budgeted games then that should speak volumes about the route you're taking. Nevermind the fact that Toy Soldiers Cold War and Minecraft are some of the best damn games I've ever played on the Xbox 360--so much for being "small time." I'm not whining about the last couple of years for a console that's been around for eight years, I got more than my money's worth out of that machine. It took the PS3 a couple years for it being worth a damn so it all evened out in the end for me. If you think otherwise, that's gravy mate, but I don't feel the need to poo on an inanimate piece of plastic because it didn't have the triple A budgeted exclusives to cater to my tastes.

Utah Jazz basketball: Six double-digit scorers give the Jazz a diversified attack
SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz just may be the most balanced team in the NBA this year. That is, unless it's the San Antonio Spurs, Utah's opponent Wednesday night at EnergySolutions Arena.
The Jazz have six players averaging in double figures — their five starters plus Gordon Hayward — and another player just under 10 points a game in Derrick Favors at 9.3 ppg. The Spurs also have six players averaging in double figures, one of just a handful of teams in the NBA that can claim that distinction, along with the Denver Nuggets, Charlotte Bobcats and Minnesota Timberwolves.
However, if you want to break it down further and limit it to players that have played in the majority of their team's games, the Jazz and Nuggets stand alone (the T-Wolves have two players that have played in fewer than 10 games, while the Bobcats and Spurs each have one who has played fewer than 10 games).
Over the course of the season, the Jazz have had seven different players lead the team in scoring in individual games, and no one more than Al Jefferson's six. Even reserve center Enes Kanter has led the team in scoring.
The question is whether it's a good thing to have a balanced team with so many players averaging in double figures, or if it's better to have a team with a couple of great scorers.
Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin certainly wouldn't mind having a superstar like Kobe Bryant or LeBron James to work with, but he's happy to have numerous scoring options with so many players sharing the wealth.
"It's just how we're built right now and that's what we work with," he said. "You have to go with who you are. We're a team with a lot of different guys capable of stepping up on different nights. We count on everybody and we let the game develop and see who's going good that particular game."
Earl Watson has played more than 800 games in the league for five different franchises, and he sees only a positive in the Jazz's well-balanced unit.
"I think it's an advantage because it keeps constant pressure on the court," he says. "It keeps us diverse in many ways, so (other teams) have to prepare for almost two different teams and the preparation for our opponents is more intense than usual."
Watson believes you don't have to have a big scorer to win championships, pointing to the 2003-04 Detroit Pistons, who beat the Lakers with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal. The Pistons were led by Richard Hamilton with 17.6 points per game and had seven players averaging nine or more points.
"Look at the Detroit Pistons when they won it over the Lakers — nobody expected their team to win," he said. "But the great thing about that team was that everybody came in and they had their own identity and they all believed it was for the best cause and they sacrificed."
This year's group might just be the most balanced Utah Jazz team in history. Going back to 1979-80, the first season in Utah, only five times has the team ended the season with as many as six players averaging in double figures. However, in each of those years, at least one player had played in fewer than half the games, either because of an injury or a trade, which skews the numbers.
For example, two years ago, the Jazz had six double-digit scorers, but one was Devin Harris, who played in just 17 games. The all-time record was 1983-84 when seven players averaged double figures, but that included the injured Adrian Dantley, who only played in 22 games, and John Drew (injured) and Danny Schayes (traded), who played in 44 and 50 games, respectively.
Ironically, in 1997-98, arguably the best team in Jazz history, only three players averaged double-figures scoring that year — Karl Malone (27.0 ppg), Jeff Hornacek (14.3 ppg) and John Stockton (12.0 ppg).

Or you could simplylead them to destruction. The choices are all yours. However the world will not always support you. There will be problems that your nation must face alone and some you will need help with.

Red foxes have overtaken grey wolves as the most widespread canines in the wild. Distributed throughout the northern hemisphere, red foxes are highly adaptable and occupy territories in deserts and tundra as well as urban areas. They live in family groups in dens and eat most things including small mammals, fruit, carrion and the contents of dustbins. As well as having excellent vision, smell and touch these bushy-tailed true foxes can produce 28 different calls.

There are 45 subspecies and several colour morphs of red fox.

Cameraman Shane Moore spent two months in a yurt during one of the coldest winters for 10 years. Every day he donned his snowshoes and followed fox tracks, but though he often saw foxes stalking, he never saw them pounce. Wondering whether the snow was too deep this year and the mice too far down, he was just about to give up hope when he found one last hunting fox. Zooming out in case the fox jumped he captured this leap into the deep snow that was about three times as high as anything he had seen in a lifetime spent in Yellowstone.

Least Concern
Population trend: Stable
Year assessed: 2008
Classified by: IUCN 3.1
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is the largest of the true foxes and the most geographically spread member of the Carnivora, being distributed across the entire Northern Hemisphere from the Arctic Circle to North Africa, Central America and Asia. Its range has increased alongside human expansion, having been introduced to Australia, where it is considered harmful to native mammal and bird populations. Because of these factors, it is listed as Least Concern for extinction by the IUCN. Due to its presence in Australia, it is included among the IUCN's list of the "world's 100 worst invasive species".
The red fox originated from smaller-sized ancestors from Eurasia during the Middle Villafranchian period, and colonised North America shortly after the Wisconsin glaciation. Among the true foxes, the red fox represents a more progressive form in the direction of carnivory. Apart from its large size, the red fox is distinguished from other fox species by its ability to adapt quickly to new environments and, unlike most of its related species, is not listed as endangered anywhere. Despite its name, the species often produces individuals with abnormal colourings, including albinos and melanists. Forty-five subspecies are currently recognised, which are divided into two categories: the large northern foxes, and the small southern foxes of Asia and the Middle East.
Red foxes are usually together in pairs or small groups consisting of families, such as a mated pair and their young, or a male with several females having kinship ties. The young of the mated pair remain with their parents to assist in caring for new kits. The species primarily feeds on small rodents, though it may also target leporids, game birds, reptiles, invertebrates and young ungulates. Fruit and vegetable matter is also eaten on occasion. Although the red fox tends to displace or even kill smaller predators, it is nonetheless vulnerable to attack from larger predators, such as wolves, coyotes, golden jackals and medium- and large-sized felines.
The species has a long history of association with humans, having been extensively hunted as a pest and furbearer for centuries, as well as being prominently represented in human folklore and mythology. Because of its widespread distribution and large population, the red fox is one of the most important furbearing animals harvested for the fur trade.

So- the only thing I can say is I hope you'll check back for news now & then in case we do!
I can't believe it's come down to this- our final sketch! Thank you all for sticking with us these past several years. You mean the world to us!
Broni Holcombe: Splashes of Watercolor
I'm a mother to 2 beautiful daughters, and a Nana to 3 young grandsons and an adorable granddaughter. I live in beautiful South Carolina where I'm an accountant by day for a major beverage distributor. I spend as much of my non-working time as possible in the paper-crafting world…either creating or sharing and learning online.
I started stamping in 2005 and was honored with being chosen as a member of the Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen design team a short 2 years later. Coloring is my passion, and Copic markers are my "weapon" of choice.
When I'm not crafting (or online!), you can find me playing with the grandchildren, kayaking, swimming or planning my next trip to the beach!
And here is Broni's gorgeous take on our final sketch:
I'd like to take a minute just to thank, not only our current design team, but all of our past design team members. These ladies (and 1 man if you can remember that far back!) have provided inspiration for you week after week and that is part of what made this blog such a success. Thank you for your commitment and sacrifice and endless creativity!!
And now, let's focus on our design team one last time:
Also, just a note to our dear readers...We want to visit your blogs to see your gorgeous takes on the sketches. We would greatly appreciate it if you would consider turning off (disabling) word verification on your blog to help ensure we leave a comment for you! Thank you!

Adrian Ernest Bayley, the man accused of murdering Irish woman Jill Meagher in Melbourne, Australia last fall, is to contest the charges against him.
Bayley appeared by video link from Melbourne Assessment Prison at a committal mention at Melbourne magistrates' court on Thursday. The only time Bayley spoke during the hearing was to indicate he could hear the court.
According to the Irish Times, Deputy chief magistrate Felicity Broughton confirmed Bayley's legal team had been granted the right to cross-examine witnesses at a 1½-day committal hearing scheduled for March 12th and 13th.
Broughton also accepted an unopposed application to extend a suppression order, introduced after Bayley's arrest last year, banning potentially damaging information about him from being published on the Internet.
The suppression order will be in place until the March hearing.
Bayley, 41, allegedly accosted Jill Meagher after she was returning home from a night with friends at a pub in a Melbourne suburb last September. She was found days later, raped and strangled.
Is Jill any relation to 69th bombing command Tom Meagher or Meagher from Corcorons Legion. This is politically motivated murder. With a name like Edwards how obvious is this. He wasn't supposed to get caught! And apparently he is also one of the real Suspects in the Claremont Serial Killing. Was her man a Trinity boy because that would make sense.

Allow for shrinkage

Comments about Men's Flannel Pajamas:
I'm a large, but bought XL to have roomy PJs. After a few washes in warm water, they fit like a large which is OK for me, but I'd suggest buying one size bigger than you want to account for shrinkage.
I would buy again!

I bought this as a gift for my husband. He likes the product though this material is lighter than previous purchase.
Seems pretty good
By Kat

Since they are flannel pajamas & it is in the 90's right now, haven't worn them yet. Seem like a good quality.
I have bought this product several times

da Campo Osteria
Online Reservations
We enjoyed our meal again at de Campo. The table side mozzarella is a great treat. Service was a bit slow, but the environment is nice...so we didn't mind. The cocktails were very good. Overall, a pleasant meal...just expensive. We'll go back again, but not on a regular basis.
Very interesting food choices not found at most other restaurants. Excellent service including chef walks restaurant to discuss food, handmade cheese made at table, etc.
Lovely place, wonderful food, amazing dessert. Mozzarella chesse is a must. Tiramisu suffle is also a must. Only thing, come with a big wallet. Without drinks expect 60$ per person bill. Wine list is affordable thought. Enjoy
You would never know this great find exists if it weren't for Open Table.
They just started am early dinner special. Lots of choices and good amount of food. Wine list has good choices for all tastes and budgets.
We were greeted by Chef Acosta personally upon arrival and escorted to our table. We had a beautiful view of the Intracoastal waterway. The buffet was set up in another room nearby and there were waiters and servers who were able to give detailed explanations about what was being prepared. Everything was delicious and above all, very fresh. I will return for lunch and/or dinner for a more traditional experience. I recommend this restaurant highly.
This restaurant, in the Il Lugano Hotel, brought out freshly baked breads with three selections of roasted garlic spread, warm pesto and tomato to start on the table. The pastas were freshly made in house and delicious. The ravioli with short rib was especially good, as well as the linguini with lobster. For dessert, the hot zepoles filled with Nutella was delectable. While on the more expensive side, foodies will appreciate the gourmet touches at this restaurant.
DaCampo is one of our "go to" restaurants to celebrate a special occasion. It is cozy and comfortable inside, the service is always fabulous and the food is out of this world. You will not regret your visit!
An amazing experience. From the beginning... The hostess greeted us in a professional and in a timely manner. The server staff was attentive but not to aggressive....The menu and specials were explained in detail and the quality of the food was outstanding. This restaurant should be on the top five in Fort Lauderdale. Best, Paul Meek CEO/Founder Spa Team International
Although a little pricey, the food and service are always top notch. The Roasted Tomato Soup was delicious . I didn't care for the green olives in the salad but I think that was just a matter of taste.. The Calamari was light and crispy and the lemon aioli was a different twist. Really good. Their pastas are homemade and are excellent. The meatball was absolutely one of the best in town and I consider myself an expert and the Scampi was a little light on shrimp and clams for the price but was absolutely wonderful. The Caprese Torte was the best dessert I've had in months. I would go back just for that. My friends are tired of me talking about it. It was THAT good.
Celebrated my 46th birthday here. The tableside made mozzarella was delicious! We had the Terra which was figs and prosciutto and it was outstanding! The rib ravioli was delicious as was the veal saltumbucca. The portions are not huge but enough if you add an appetizer or salad. And leave room for dessert. The ricotta zeppole and cicccolato were too die for! Yummy! I would highly recommend this restaurant!
We had a wonderful, relaxing anniversary dinner. We started with the mozzarella (seeing it being prepared was a first) and carpaccio. Then we split a pasta course (lobster) and main course (veal). Both were excellent. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, but not overbearing, letting us enjoy each course. Two bottles of wine later we relaxed outside for to watch to boat traffic on the intercoastal. We'll be back!
This was my first time at this restaurant and I was not sure what to try so I left it up to the chef to wow me with his creations. After the mozzarella was prepared for us table side, the chef sent over sampler dishes for us and we were in fact very impressed. We kept commenting on how delicious it all was. We tried the king crab tortellini, the goat cheese croquette, the rib meat ravioli, among other delectable dishes and ended it with the white chicolate bread pudding that almost had us licking the plate. Overall, we were extremely happy with the meal and how full we were by the end of the night. The chef executed his menu with class and absolute superb taste in every dish. I am telling all my friends about this hidden gem!
My 3rd time here in da campo osteria. Amazing like the first one. Service very friendly. . The guy who does the mozzarella cheese does a great job. Bread is delicious. With 3 dipping choices. The pastas home made will send you to a paradise. You will enjoy it so much. That you will go back the sooner you think. Great choices for the wine. . In general everything was wonderful. It was my birthday. I love it. And you. Yes you..... Will love it too......
I live in Wellington, the drive is always worth the fantastic dinner. My go to favorite restaurant when I want to impress my friends.
This restaurant has great food and the table side mozzarella making is a great touch. There are multiple choices and all are great. The food portions are really nice - actually more on the smaller side than huge which is a nice touch. But there's enough that you don't leave hungry. Great intercoastal water view on the bottom floor of a boutique type hotel. 2nd chef since we started going but still great food.
Great food. Seeing Mozzarella being prepared tableside is lots of fun Would def return
Excellent Food And All. New Favorite Place Out East
We are regulars at da Campo Osteria, but this trip was particularly notable. We brought a visiting friend to dinner and our server, Walter, was fantastic. He was attentive and excellent in everything during this visit.
Great food,excellent service! Never a dissapointment
This is a beautiful restaurant with a great view. It's dimly lit which is perfect for a romantic dinner. The service was great. The pulled mozzarella appetizer was phenomenal! They make it fresh right at your table. The overall experience was great!
We started off the evening with the fresh mozarella prepared tableside, and it was outstanding! We shared a tasting from each of the 4 entrees, and they were all delicious. Our favorite was the Rib Ravioli, which barely topped the Cananoli, the Pescatore and the Penne Pizzaiola. We topped the evening off with bread pudding and gelati from the dessert menu. The service couldn't have been better and we were twice visited by the chef to explain and then inquire about our enjoyment of his wonderfulk offerings. If you have never been, you need to make da Campo Ristorante a priority for your next fine dining excursion.
From the valet to the end of the meal the service was amazing. Food was really good. Homemade mozzarella was made at table side, nice show and delicious.
Once again the food was amazing! Service was top-notch! My only complaint was the cost for a bottle of wine. Santa Margarita which I buy for $18.00 a bottle, this restaurant charged $63.00 for the same exact thing. And Murphy Goode was $41.00, Target sells for $12.00. Next time, I would have a cocktail or an iced tea. Overall, we had a wonderful night!
The chef made us table side mozzarella, and walked us through the process. He recommended his favorite plates and came by twice to make sure we were loving dinner. Excellent food!
The eggplant appetizer was superb as well as the mussels. The crab tortellini was great as well as the Bread pudding. Superb service.
This is a rare find for a hotel on the Intracoastal - it has great food and a very friendly wait staff! All is housemade, fresh and made the way YOU want it! They make Mozzarella at your table and it is very interesting to watch & tastes soooooooooooo good! You won't be disappointed here - FREE Valet, too!
The highlight is the freshly pulled mozzarella done table side. Fantastic! Nice variety in the entree items. The roasted tomato soup is outstanding! Nice ambience and great service completed a wonderful night!
The food was excellent. Made at table side fresh mozzarella (pardon my spelling!) and tomato salad was phenomenal! We had the summer special dinner and alll of us enjoyed it greatly. But.....the noise level makes it almost impossible to carry on a conversation and the restaurant was very warm.
Excellent food, beautiful view, very attentive, quite, very good!
Great service, food and ambiance. We'll definitely be back again! The table side prepared mozzarella is both educational and fun.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary dinner celebration. Excellent service and great food. We selected the Dining Out menu option which was great!! That was our first visit and we would definitely return.
We were pleased to find Da Campo Osteria through the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. After reviewing the menu online, we decided to give it a try. The restaurant was not busy at all when we arrived; but then we were very early so that we would have time to get to our show. Service was very good; attentive without being overbearing. And the food was wonderful. We tried a special of pork belly and scallops that was amazing. They were testing the recipe to see about adding it to the menu; definitely think they should. The tableside mozz was fun, and delicious. The restaurant is in a sort of "out of the way" location, in a hotel along the intercoastal. I hope they have plenty of followers, and continue serving great food.
We tried this restaurant last year. The experience was so so... I decided to give it a 2nd try. This time, the experience is much better. Although there are some rough edges in various fronts; but I would recommend this place. I can walk to this restaurant. I can have wine & good food and not have to worry about DWI. The food is delicious. The staff is very accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable of the menu. The chef is very passionate in making this restaurant a success. The wine list is very diverse. Price ranges from $30 to over $100. I highly recommend the Tiramisu Souffle, the Meatball, the crispy eggplant. Try to sit away from the open kitchen because IMHO this restaurant needs a stronger ventilation system.
Everything was delicious, if we had a complaint it would be the length of time it took. We did not receive our entree until more than an hour and a half into service. We like to dine, but it was a bit long.
Great food and service! Walter at the bar is super.
The fabulous food was only surpassed by the excellent service we received!
My husband and I dined here for the first time and we will definitely be back when we are in the area! The whole experience was wonderful! Be sure to order something off of the fresh mozzarella menu. We had the caprese and it was the best I have ever had. My husband had the pasta with jumbo meatball and I had there fish special with Brussel Sprouts. Yummy!! The service was just as good as the food!!
love dining at this restaurant. the table side mozzarella is such a fun and enjoyable experience! short ribs ravioli was okay, not amazing. the pork belly special is spectacular ..hopefully they will add it to the main menu. the best part is the tiramisu souffle with expresso gelato!! it's perfectly cooked, very light and airy and by the far one of the best i have had.
I enjoyed this restaurant during the "Dine out Ft. Lauderdale" special. Delicious and good value.
Our server, the food and the wine were all AMAZING! A great value and experience. My only complaint for this visit was the hostess. She was nice but obviously "green" in her level of experience. She could have much better handled seating us and then my request to move our table (horrible table given for people that had a reservation for over two weeks) . Seeing a couple that walked in directly before us (no reservation) given a very nice romantic booth and then us squueezed in to this tiny tiny table between two others, quite baffled me.
This is one of the best "hotel" restaurants you will find in South Florida! It is on the Intracoastal where you can watch the yachts go by and it has wonderful fresh house-made food! Always a very friendly knowledgeable staff, too!
We have lived two blocks from this restaurant for over five years and this is our first time here. Wow, we can't believe what we've been missing. Outstanding food and service.
Located on the inter-coastal gives this restaurant a great setting for a lovely evening of dinning out. My only complaint was the noise level. Situated between two tables of loud customers, it was difficult to talk with my son that was visiting.
Surprisingly good food, tucked away off the beaten path. Lovely decor, excellent service. Fresh mozzarella made at the table....great presentation but disappointing taste to the finished cheese. Definitely will be going back and taking friends,
Our waiter Walter was very attentive and helpful, he immediately came over to greet us. We ordered two glasses of wine and he was serving us immediately. The table side mozzarella was both fun to watch being prepared and also delicious. The standard bread spread they brought us with three different types of sauces was also very good and different from standard fare.. We ordered two pasta dishes, the ravioli and the spaghetti. The spaghetti comes w/a large meatball that had no raw spots and was yummy. My bf seemed to enjoy his ravioli, said they had a nice kick to them. The one negative is that we ordered the bread pudding, and it took over 20 min, we had to cancel the order because we were going to be late to the theater. Overall, yum.
Fresh mozzarella and risotto are must haves; server was great and provided recommendations.
Went for Thanksgiving dinner. One of the best dinners I have had. Food and service were marvelous. The menu choices were fantastic.
This is a keeper for Intracoastal restaurants! Yes it's in a hotel; but, it has delicious food and very friendly staff! Prices are wonderful, too! Watch them make fresh Mozzarella at your table and then eat it (can't get any fresher)! Yummy!
Greeat mozzarella made table side. Good food, creative entrees and homemade pasta. Top it off with good service for a wonderful dining experience.
