To mark IDC Herzliya's 20th anniversary, we spent a day following Prof. Uriel Reichman, IDC's founder and president, and Jonathan Davis, VP for External Relations, around its delightful campus.
Stevie Wonder is set to pull out of a performance at a fundraiser for the Israel Defense Forces, a source told JTA.
Wonder's representatives will claim that he did not know the nature of the group, the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, and that he believes such a performance would be incongruent with his status as a U.N. "Messenger of Peace," according to a source who has read email exchanges between Wonder's representatives and organizers of the event.
Wonder was scheduled to headline the Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces annual gala in Los Angeles on Dec. 6. The event raises millions of dollars annually to support the Israeli military.
An official of Friends of the IDF, reached at its Los Angeles office, had no comment. Wonder's agent at Creative Artists Agency did not return a request for comment.
The spokesman for the U.N. Secretary General also had no comment on the matter.
The United Nations does not impose restrictions on its goodwill representatives. Wonder most recently performed at a U.N. concert commemoratiing its 67th anniversary. Elie Wiesel, the Nobele Peace Laureate and Holocaust memoirist who is also a staunch defender of Israel is also a U.N. Messenger of Peace.
Wonder had come under intense social media pressure to pull out of the event. An online petition calling on him to cancel his performance had garnered more than 3,600 signatures.
The petition was launched more than a day ago on the change.org website.
"You were arrested in 1985 protesting South African Apartheid, now we ask you: please remember that apartheid is apartheid, whether it comes from White Afrikaaner settlers of South Africa or from Jewish Israelis in Israel," the petition reads. "Desmond Tutu has recognized that Israel's Apartheid is worse than South Africa's — will you stand with us against apartheid and cancel your performance at the IDF fundraiser."
A second petition, launched by the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, calls on Wonder to "(p)lease continue your legacy of speaking out for the oppressed. Please be a 'full-time lover' of justice by standing on the right side of history and canceling your performance for the Israeli army."
Wonder performed at a 1998 gala honoring Israel's 50th anniversary.

What a wuss.

Go figure! A leftest!
Sad that Wonder has joined the Klan.
I think someone needs to explain to him the definition of "peace." Next thing you know, he'll be doing a fundraiser to help re-arm Hamas.
He could always do a fundraiser for Shalom Achshav.
Unable to discern right from wrong. Typical.
What else is to be expected from a man who would campaign for Barack Obama–Stevie Wonder is a fool and a useful idiot!
Peace Now would be better described as genocide now.
I agree.
Stevie may have taken his orders to cancel his gig from the White House.
His loss! Canadian soldiers have actually joined the IDF, because they "are" soldiers.
I agree!!!
Me too, he might as well support them!
What a schmuck!!
Desmond Tutu is a raging Jew-hater and anti-white bigot. Following HIS advice on Israel is like following Hitler's advice on tourist destinations in Poland. Stevie Wonder is now just another testiclularly deprived tool of Jew-haters everywhere. Way to go Stevie…you just proved that not only are you blind, but you have no independent vision.

Energy East pipeline is all risk and no reward for Ottawa residents
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
News Source : Energy East pipeline is all risk and no reward for Ottawa residents
The Energy East: Our Risk – Their Reward six community tour arrives in Ottawa this Sunday with a public forum to challenge the pipeline.
The event, part of a series of forums and meetings along the Energy East pipeline route coordinated by the Council of Canadians alongside local partners, features Council of Canadians National Chairperson Maude Barlow and Eriel Deranger of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN), and takes place 7:00 p.m. Sunday at the Mayfair Theatre (1074 Bank Street). Sunday's forum will also feature Graham Saul from Ecology Ottawa and Andrea Harden-Donahue from the Council of Canadians.
Transporting 1.1 million barrels of oil per day, Energy East would be the largest oil pipeline in North America. The tour, happening during the Ontario Energy Board Consultations, brings to light a number of serious risks with this project.
"Almost all of the oil is expected to be exported, with benefits flowing to the oil industry," says Barlow. "In Ontario, TransCanada will attempt to use a converted 40-year-old natural gas pipeline to carry tar sands oil, including diluted bitumen, over some of the province's most important waterways such as Nipigon River which flows into Lake Superior."
The pipeline crosses the city's drinking water source, the Rideau River, south of Ottawa, traverses above the highly vulnerable Oxford aquifer, through a groundwater recharge area, and also includes plans for a new pumping station in Stittsville.
"The Energy East pipeline would not even be a necessary evil – it would be bad for our climate and bad for our city," says Graham Saul, Executive Director of Ecology Ottawa. "We want our elected leaders to listen to the thousands of people that have come forward already to say 'no' to this pipeline."
Filling Energy East would help spur a 40 per cent increase in tar sands production. Downstream First Nations are calling for an end to further expansion.
"ACFN members are witnessing the rapid and wide-scale industrialization of their traditional lands for rapid tar sands production – lands that have sustained our communities, culture and distinctive ways of life for countless generations," says Deranger. "Current production is large enough that 80 per cent of the traditional territories of the ACFN and Mikisew Cree First Nation are rendered inaccessible for periods of the year due to tar sands development. Not only do the tar sands put my community's culture and traditional way of life at risk for future generations, diluted bitumen shipped near Ottawa puts your land and water at risk."
Producing the crude needed to fill Energy East would generate the climate pollution equivalent to that of all the cars in Ontario, every year.

Tanduri Fusion is a small Indian restaurant hidden among the ever-changing and expanding shops of Lakeside Hills Plaza. I heard about Tanduri Fusion from friends who live in that part of Omaha.
The restaurant is in its fourth year, and Kishor Karki has been the sole owner for two years. Tanduri Fusion offers authentic Northern Indian cuisine in addition to menu items that have a special twist of flavor. If you are afraid to experiment in new flavors and cuisines, then Tanduri Fusion may very well be your connection to a superb Indian meal here in Omaha.
I left the ordering to our friends. I'm easy to dine out with because there are very few items I don't like, much less won't try. We...

The next few months mark the beginning of food hedonism. Once the gloomy rain of spring subsides and the billowing heat of summer drips sweat at our temples, we know a fruit and vegetable bounty is near. There is something wholeheartedly satisfying about gorging ourselves on berries and melon so sweet it's almost shameful to eat them, countertops of tomatoes, and more zucchini than doorsteps on which to abandon them. The devil on our shoulder says to eat and indulge with recklessness, but the angel is there to remind us that winter is never far away. While summer is the time to savor, it's also time to save.
The seasonal eater will grow and purchase food over the next few months. The...

Bryce Coulton's voice has a slow New Jersey swagger. He speaks deliberately and with precision much in the same way he maneuvers a curved boning knife across the leg of a butchered pig. The morning of our interview I watched as he sliced segments of the animal in the back kitchen of Dundee's Pitch Pizzeria where he practices charcuterie, the craft of preserving meat, traditionally pork.
"This piece," he said while pausing briefly and gently pressing his fingertips into the raw meat, "will be used to make Calabrian Salami. The recipe was passed down from the chef's aunt."
Perhaps Coulton is the perfect person to recreate a generations-old salami from southern Italy. He lived there for...

Walking into the Jackson Street Tavern, what guesses would you make about the establishment? It's in the Old Market, and has an outdoor dining area decorated with beer signs. The word "tavern" is featured in the name. You'd probably guess it's a bar emphasizing brews, burgers and chicken wings. You'd be wrong. Jackson Street Tavern does sell drinks, but it also features an ambitious food menu, with prices to match. My wife and I visited on a quiet Sunday night. We started with the Tuna Not-Chos appetizer ($12), featuring small tuna slices with wonton chips, avocado and mango salsa. The fish was well seasoned and the flavors worked well together, but there was only a tiny...

Lindsay Lohan Will Guest Star On Glee!It seems that Lilo really is making a comeback! It was just confirmed that Lindsay will guest star on the final episode of Season 3 of Glee! She's not playing any special character- no crazy student or weird teacher, instead she will play herself! That can't be too hard right? Lilo will serve as a guest judge for Nationals! Will she vote in favor of the New Directions? We can't wait to find out! This will be Lindsay second biggest TV appearance this year after guest hosting SNL, before that she hasn't appeared on TV since 2008. Guesting on Glee seems like a good choice for Lilo, it will bring her a younger fan base and help her to (slowly) start again. Not many people get this many chances, Lindsay! Don't screw it up!

The BMW Group's sales growth continued to be solidly in the double-digit range in February. A total of 111,720 BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce vehicles were delivered to customers (prev. yr. 91,763) – an increase of 21.7% compared to February 2010 and setting a new record high for the month. For the year to the end of February, sales volumes were 24.7% higher than in the first two months of the previous year, at 216,911 units (prev. yr. 173,913).
According to Ian Robertson of BMW, the company appears to be targetting annual i3 sales of at least 30,000 units by drawing a production target comparison to lower-volume Mini models (such as the Clubman, of which 30,000 were sold globally in 2010). Meanwhile, the i8′s pricing remains to be determined, based on future legislation (and no doubt any tax breaks for green vehicles).
The BMW i3 launches in 2013 and the i8 shortly after, with both models to be built in BMW's Leipzig plant.

Senator Ropes in Preston: We are all in this together
Fri, Jun 5th, 2009
Posted in Government
Posted in Government
State Senator Sharon Erickson-Ropes-DFL addressed the Preston City Council at their June 1 meeting. She discussed the recent legislative session and inquired as to how the city dealt with the loss of Local Government Aid (LGA) funds totaling about $45,000 this last December.
City Administrator Joe Hoffman explained the unallotment of expected funds required the city to use reserves as 95% of the budget was already spent at the time the reduction of funding was announced in December 2008. Capital purchases have been delayed. He added Preston is in the middle of the road when compared with other cities in the amount of reserves held compared to general fund expenditures.
Ropes asked about the city's bonding rating, which can be jeopardized if a city doesn't maintain adequate reserves or savings. A lower rating would result in higher interest rates on bonds. Hoffman said Preston, like many small communities, is unrated. She was not aware of that fact.
Ropes explained the state legislature presented Governor Tim Pawlenty, at the end of their session, a second fully balanced budget appropriations bill, which he later vetoed. She added that he promised to balance the last two billion himself stating, "He doesn't need the legislature." The senator made it clear that the legislature's budget protected LGA with zero cuts. The governor needs to come up with a plan by July 1, but as of now there are a lot of unknowns. There are rumors that the governor will postpone the cuts as much as possible to the second year of the biennium, supposedly giving city and county governments time to plan.
Ropes concluded the only choice may be to raise property taxes. She insisted property taxes are "the hardest way for tax payers to pay taxes," saying "income taxes are fairer." Hoffman added property taxes are especially hard on retirees.
The senator said the state is facing the largest deficit in its history due mostly to the recession of the global economy. She said the state expects 20% less revenue due to the recession. K-12 education will be held flat thanks to the federal stimulus dollars coming in. She expects cuts for colleges and universities. Pawlenty has already cut General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC), which will hurt the "poorest of the poor" according to Ropes.
Ropes was critical of Pawlenty's plan to use his unallotment authority to balance the budget. She noted it has only been used five times in the state's history, twice by Pawlenty. The senator suggested the unallotment authority used by the governor last December was an appropriate use of a fiscal tool and the way it was intended to be used near the end of a budget cycle and in an emergency. However, this is different as he is using it to balance the budget at the beginning of the biennium on his own without the input of legislators.
Senator Ropes emphasized that the Southeast part of the state has a high percentage of poor roads. She noted the area's topography adds to the construction difficulty. There are 400 bridges in Fillmore County. She suggested the additional five cent per gallon gas tax is being used in part to move up the current improvements being made to Highway 52 north of Fountain.
Health Care
Ropes insisted that the one thing that could help everyone, including school districts, cities, and counties, would be to get a handle on the health care crisis. Health care costs have seen double digit increases. She said she is one of two nurses in the state senate. She wants everyone to have access to affordable health care, insisting costs need to be contained.
Historic Forestville
Both Ropes and Rep. Greg Davids-R have promised to do everything they can to keep the Meighen Store Site open. She declared the legislative package would keep it open. She warned the governor could go back into the Department of Employment and Economic Development bill, which does have funds for it, and make additional cuts that could eliminate funding for the site.
Ropes remarked, "We'll be getting through this together." She compared the budget problems to the 2007 flood which was gotten through by working together. The senator, speaking of political party differences, said we all live together and need to respect one another and get along.

The Victorian Government has granted a licence to Carnegie Wave Energy to investigate potential wave power sites off Portland, Warrnambool and Phillip Island.
The company proposes using underwater buoys to generate electricity from the motion of waves.
The company says the three sites could meet about 20 per cent of Victoria's energy needs if full-scale plants were built.
Spokesman Tim Sawyer says the licences will help it determine whether commercial-scale operations could be set up at the sites.
"It allows Carnegie to develop those sites further from what is essentially desktop-based studies to invest more funds in developing the feasibility of those sites and to pursue state funding to support the commercial development of those sites as well," he said.

Camp David (Hardback)
|Hardback 368 pages
Not available on Waterstones.com
"Raucously funny and superbly written". ("Heat"). It's time to get serious with Britain's favourite funny man - "Camp David", by David Walliams. David Walliams has been the camp aide to the Prime Minister, the rubbish transvestite and the long-suffering wheelchair pusher for an able-bodied man. He was launched to fame with the record-breaking "Little Britain", and for a while you couldn't enter a playground without hearing "eh eh eh eh" or "computer says no". But David Walliams is more than a comedian. He's a fascinating and complex person with a sharp intellect, a sensitive disposition and a refreshing honesty. Often described as 'a bundle of contradictions', he has disarmed people by being camp and a ladykiller, a hedonist and a sportsman, aloof and warm. Like many of our comedic geniuses - Frankie Howerd, John Cleese, Kenneth Williams - he has grappled with depression and remains an enigma. His autobiography "Camp David" is a roller-coaster ride of emotions. It will surprise and entertain, and allow fans and newcomers the privilege of entering David Walliams' uniquely brilliant mind. David Walliams is an actor, writer, active fundraiser and - above all - he's a world class comedian who knows how to make us laugh. He performed in and co-wrote the phenomenally successful "Little Britain" and "Come Fly with Me" with Matt Lucas, and recently appeared as a popular judge alongside Simon Cowell on "Britain's Got Talent". He has performed many feats of endurance for charity, and won over the entire country when he swam the Thames for Sports Relief. His bestselling children's books include "Mr Stink", "Gangsta Granny", "Billionaire Boy", "Boy in the Dress" and "Ratburger".

SHERMAN, TX -- Dozens cleaned out their homes and garages Saturday, and helped out a local mental health organization in the process.
Saturday was the 5th annual Recycling Fundraiser benefiting Texoma Community Center. Old vacuums, household appliances and more filled the truck. It'll all be taken to a recycling center in Dallas.
Organizer Paula Cawthon says the annual event has helped the center raise thousands of dollars, which they count on.
"It goes towards our center. And we're always needing computer equipment. We need a new telephone system right now. But always computers and fax machines and copy machines, you know just to keep us in business doing the things that we do," she said.
If you missed today's recycling event there will be another in Denison, Saturday, April 27 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m at 510 South Mirick. Businesses and school districts can schedule a pick up donation as well.

BGaS: Give Me Fiction Edition
We may be on a short hiatus, but that doesn't mean we're not scheming up new and ever more grandiose ways to bring content to our loyal Bannermen. This week we feature Ivan Hernandez's "Give Me Fiction": a selection of original short stories performed before a live audience. You can follow GMF on Twitter, check out the podcast on iTunes, RSS, Soundcloud, and Stitcher, and buy tickets for the live show which takes place the first Sunday of every month at Lost Weekend Video.
AFfC 2: Enemies with Benefits
This week we jump back into A Feast for Crows, finishing our last non-spoilery chapter, Sansa I (Hardback page 145/Paperback 226). Ivan and Red discuss the Marvel universe, free will, the SF Giants vs Kansas City Royals Game 7, the bastard Rivers Cuomo, the bastard Strom Thurmond, Sansa learning to lie, Ser Tinder, Marillionaire, and the return of the Game of King Chairs.
ASoS 40: The Hooded Dead
This week Ivan and Red called an audible and discussed the Epilogue of "A Storm of Swords". If you *only* watch the tv show and haven't read the books, we discuss an event that has not happened in the TV show. Up front they answer some listener emails and then get to the main event. Let us know your thoughts on twitter at @boarsgoreswords!
After completely whiffing on the last chapter in A Storm of Swords, Ivan and Red finish up the Brienne chapter they began last episode before looping back around to the last chapter in A Storm of Swords, Sansa VII. They discuss The Patriarchy, raw eggs, Rivers Cuomo, Fish Wife vs Salt Wife, Ivan's preferred food preparation technique, and Petyr Baelish's favorite cat.
With no more unspoiled territory in A Storm of Swords, we jump into A Feast for Crows to cover one and a half of the three chapters we're reading in A Feast for Crows, specifically we touch upon Brienne I (Hardback page 56/Paperback page 80) and Brienne II (Hardback page 130/Paperback page 184). Ivan and Red discuss Westeros's most famous male model, matching carpet and japes, the incredible crassness of peasants, the sincerity of Jaime Lannister, the Guild of Cookery's "Game of Thrones" themed dinners in San Francisco, the new crypto-currency Quailcoin, and the most fearsome of fantasy creatures, the Dire Quail.
ASoS 38: Unbowed Unbent Unspoiled
Following the reading guide provided by Michelle Victory, this is the first episode where we skip chapters so as to remain unspoiled. We start with Arya XIII (Hardback page 843/Paperback page 1027) and then skill Samwell and Jon to get to Tyrion XI (Hardback page 871/Paperback page 1062). Sansa VII will be the last chapter we read in ASoS before hopping into the few chapters from A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons that have been covered in the TV Show. This week Ivan and Red yell about chickens, the importance of not leaving your tip on the floor, thirstiness, Arya and process over results, the reunion of a girl and her weapon, the correct pronunciation of croissant, famous last words in morse code, Tysha, gold diggers, and a big lead up to a terrible pun.
ASoS 37: Adorably Atrocious
Tommen gets his stamp on and Jon Snow discovers the true nature of Wargs in Jaime IX and Jon X (Hardback page 818/ Paperback Page 996) of "A Storm of Swords". Ivan and Red discuss Star Wars Machete order and Ivan's trip to the Folsom Street Fair before moving on to Tommen being adorably atrocious, only good things happening to Ramsay Bolton, when one sword become two, Long live Jeyne, a totally legit and completely real Arya, Tommen and his ladies, Outlander being bullshit, Mammoth bread, Anomalisa, Jaffar, and tent play.
An Unkindness of Ravens Part II
WYSBW: Penny Dreadful
This week we're completely lacking in Boars, but are up to our mangled necks in Gore and Swords. Ivan and Red take a break from the realms of Westeros and Essos and head for 19th century London to re-cap Showtime and Sky's Penny Dreadful, created and written by John Logan.

Schools invited to apply for CLIF grantTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | December 16,2013WATERBURY CENTER Vermont and New Hampshire elementary schools are invited to apply for a grant valued at $25,000 that provides literacy programming and new childrens books.
The Vermont-based Childrens Literacy Foundation says the grants purpose is to supplement existing literacy programs at schools that have high percentages of students who score below state standards on language arts tests and students who qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Local authors, illustrators, poets, and storytellers may visit the schools to give presentations or lead workshops. Evening seminars also will give parents strategies for reading with their children.
During the school year, students may also select and keep up to 10 new books.

|NFL 08: The story is star QBs, labor, ownership
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 22 August 2008 10:08
The 2008 NFL season starts with a tale of superstar quarterbacks - one back from retirement in new digs, the other two nursing injuries that probably won't keep them out but may hinder their effectiveness, especially early.
But there are other clouds for the NFL as it starts its 2008 season.
The league faces impending labor troubles and the possible departure of an influential owner in a family disagreement, one that accentuates the growing gap among owners between multibillionaires and multimillionaires. Meanwhile, the unexpected death of union head Gene Upshaw, who has been instrumental in labor peace for the last two decades, adds a tragic twist to the NFL story and throws uncertainty into the upcoming labor talks.
The quarterback situation will take the spotlight on the field.
Favre, who retired in April after leading Green Bay to the NFC championship game, decided in June to return for an 18th NFL season. After a protracted debate with the Packers, who had already installed Aaron Rodgers at quarterback, he was traded to the New York Jets. Putting on a different shade of green, Favre acknowledged, ``feels strange.''
Manning and Brady have physical problems, a constant in a game where big bodies collide on every play.
Manning underwent surgery to remove an infected bursa sac from behind his left knee and only rejoined the Colts on Aug. 19. ``My goal is to be back for the first game,'' said the quarterback who has started all 160 games since he entered the league in 1998, second to Favre's 253 consecutive starts, 275 if you count the postseason.
That's the goal for Brady, too, who missed the first part of exhibition season with an injury to his right foot.
It was his right ankle that hampered him late last year, including in the Super Bowl, where the Patriots' thrust for an unbeaten season ended when they were upset 17-14 by the New York Giants.
Off the field, the most pressing issue is the status of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dan Rooney, the team's chairman. Next to the commissioners, he has arguably been the most influential figure in the league for 30 years.
Rooney's father founded the Steelers in 1932, and Dan now shares 16 percent of the team with his four brothers. Because the brothers hold interest in gambling operations, they must sell their shares and have been entertaining offers that are higher than Dan Rooney can afford to make.
``Dan has done an excellent job running the Steelers and has been a great contributor to the league,'' commissioner Roger Goodell said. ``We believe he deserves the opportunity to continue, so we're working toward a resolution on that basis.''
Keeping Rooney in the league grows only more important in the wake of Upshaw's death.
For more than 30 years, Rooney has been the peacemaker in labor disputes, dispassionate enough in heated negotiations to step in late and help resolve them. One reason is the respect he gets from both sides, the players and 31 other owners - who often have 31 different opinions.
Last May, the owners opted out of the labor contract extended in March 2006 because they thought that the 60 percent of revenue going to the players is too much in hard economic times. If the contract is not redone by March 2010, the following season would go on without a salary cap - and the possibility of a work stoppage the following year.
While Upshaw had been taking a hard line, Goodell and owners like Rooney accepted that as standard rhetoric and were reasonably optimistic the problem could be resolved. Upshaw's death has made the picture murkier.
The union's chief counsel, Richard Berthelsen, was appointed his interim successor and is likely to stay on through the labor talks - he's been involved in those issues for 37 years and was Upshaw's right-hand man. But the dynamic has changed - Upshaw had a close working relationship with Goodell while Berthelsen was in the background.
Favre's decision to retire, unretire and then seek a new team after 16 seasons in Green Bay was a running soap opera the last few months. After unsuccessfully trying to negotiate his release, which would have allowed him to sign with the Packers' NFC North rival in Minnesota, he was traded to the Jets and has been taking a crash course in a new offense with new terminology.
His arrival in New York seemed to energize the Jets, who spent a lot of money in the offseason in an attempt to become relevant again - both in the New York area, where the spotlight was on the Super Bowl champion Giants, and in the AFC East, where New England has been the dominant team since 2001.
The Patriots enter this season seeking redemption for the loss in that Super Bowl when they were trying to become the first 19-0 team in NFL history. Instead, the Giants upset them despite being double-digit underdogs, capping a run of three playoff upsets on the road with the biggest of them all.
New England also is trying to put ``Spygate'' behind it - the turmoil in which coach Bill Belichick and the Patriots were fined a total of $750,000 and forfeited a first-round draft pick after a team employee was caught taping the Jets' defensive signals during the opening game of the season.
As usual, they say they are thinking only in the ``now.''
And, as usual, they are saying as little as possible about injuries, notably the one to Brady's foot. It's similar to their silence about his ankle injury before the Super Bowl that was revealed only when he was caught by a video camera with a walking boot. It may have hampered him in the loss to the Giants, when he was sacked five times and hit 17 times.
Manning's surgery to remove a small inflammation ``an illness, not an injury.'' He has started all 160 games since entering the league in 1998 and it's still a question whether it will become 161 in the season opener against Chicago, when the Colts will play in their new stadium.
``This has been a new process for me, and it's not been the most enjoyable process,'' Manning said. ``I can throw. I have been able to keep my arm in shape. I can certainly lift weights with my upper body, and my lower body, so I feel I've been able to stay with my strength level. As far as when, and how much time I need, we'll just have to kind of wait and see.''
Actually, Manning and the Colts have been lucky. They've been out of the media spotlight during training camp because of the Favre circus. So have the Patriots, and Dallas, the NFC favorites with its crew of attention-getting stars (owner Jerry Jones, Tony Romo and Terrell Owens) and former miscreants (Adam ``Pacman'' Jones and Tank Johnson).
And the defending champions?
Well, the Giants have been ignored and written off despite their title. And, they love it because it's the perfect incentive. In fact, despite the retirement of defensive end Michael Strahan after 15 seasons and the trade of discontented Jeremy Shockey to New Orleans, they look better this year than last.
Eli Manning appears ready to continue his sudden emergence and the Giants could unveil some surprise young stars, as they did last season with six rookies making major contributions late in the year and in the playoffs.
But this is the NFL. With a new season comes new winners, part of the legislated parity of the NFL. At this time last year, few figured the Giants to be better than a .500 team.
Maybe Jacksonville, hidden in a small market but a playoff team in two of the last three seasons, can break the Colts' string of five straight titles in the AFC South. Minnesota looks ready to leap over Green Bay in the NFC North because the Packers figure to slip with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback in Favre's stead.
And Cleveland, which jumped from 4-12 to 10-6 last season, has high hopes in the AFC North, although the Browns have a killer schedule.
Change can also help. Bill Parcells is now in overall charge of Miami, which was 1-15 last season. Tony Sparano, one of his assistants in Dallas, is the new head coach. Chad Pennington, dumped by the Jets when Favre arrived, is the most accomplished quarterback the Dolphins have had since Dan Marino retired a decade ago.
The Dolphins even have Ricky Williams, who in 1999 was the New Orleans Saints' entire draft, back at running back after being banished multiple times for marijuana use. He's been the star of training camp, mixing his personal redemption with team redemption.
``When the dust settles, hopefully people will be pleasantly surprised,'' he said.
That's what 32 teams like to think every September.

Selfies and Silhouettes: at Düden Falls in Antalya
Part of the tour package on Wednesday was a visit to Düden Falls, which I'd heard were pretty spectacular – and as it was more or less on the way back from Termessos (see yesterday's post), I was fine with that. Have to say that I was decidedly underwhelmed on arrival – as it's situated in a rather built up Antalya residential area (surrounded by tower blocks and shacks offering roadside cuisine). Read more

Friday Fun 48: Monopods vs Monobracchs Cricket
Well, the book's first draft is done and sent off – the initial editors' comments are awaited with trepidation. But the good news (I hear you ALL cry) is that I can get back to some serious blogging. And what better way to mark this momentous event than by offering some Friday Fun.
One of my recent excitements is the quirky Cox's Fragmenta. This is edited by Simon Murphy from a really bizarre tome in the British Library – essentially a scrap-book of news clippings kept by one Francis Cox (1752-1834) on every subject under the sun. In fact, it takes up 20 feet of shelving. So I thought it might be fun to pick out a few choice morsels.
5-a-Day I: Detested & Loved words
Hate is a strong word. In fact, one of my favourite aphorisms of Graham Greene (taken from his astonishing The Power and the Glory) is that "Hate was just a failure of the imagination." It is precisely because we are all such conflicted and complex people that the hatred of individuals is such a blight – there are always extenuating circumstances (even if they are not sufficient to justify actions). Read more
The humiliation of incarnation… Iain Banks somehow, surprisingly, gets it… sort of
Iain Banks (known as Iain M Banks when he's writing science fiction) had the most extraordinarily fertile imagination. It was one of the reasons his books have been so loved and respected. His last SF book before he died of cancer in June at only 59 was The Hydrogen Sonata, in his Culture series. I'd not read any of his books before but was very struck by the way people talked about him over the summer, and so decided to make amends. Well, I certainly dived into the deep end.
Double-entendres: the problem with symbolic shortcuts
This is not a particularly profound post (which, incidentally, is not to claim that regular posts on Q are either), but having just finished Sarah Lyall's rather delightful (if affectionately acerbic) The Anglo-Files: A Field Guide to the British, I came across this amusing story from the Blair landslide of 1997 at which a record number of women (very patronisingly described at the time as Blair's babes) were elected to Parliament.

The perils of drink – but it's not quite what you think
It's Friday, and so that would normally call for some Friday fun. Well, this post more or less qualifies as a bit of fun, but it's also a bit of seriousness too. So I'll let it stand on its own merits. Here is a very helpful and salutary public health warning from the great nineteenth century social reformer and polemicist William Cobbett. It has much to teach us. As I'm sure you'll agree… Read more
Douglas Adams eats biscuits on Cambridge station
This is one of my favourite short, and true, stories. It comes from the pen of the wondrous Douglas Adams, he of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fame. It needs little explanation or introduction. But it is the perfect illustration of all kinds of self-delusions and self-righteousness. Read more
Friday Fun 47: Skomer Puffins
Trying to write in the wonderfully balmy sun of Pembrokeshire this week has been a struggle! But I'm not complaining. it's been a joy to be down here, heatwave and all. But I'm particularly thankful to have got out for half a day yesterday to visit Skomer Island at last (been coming to Dale for years, but this was a first). So here is some jollity from the delightful puffins of Skomer. What fun they are… Read more
Friday Fun 46: Memories of running away from school
It seems that my prep school, where I boarded from aged 8-13 (yes I know, I'm still trying to catalogue the subsequent privileged hangups), is 150 years old next year. They appealed for memories from old boys to be included in the anniversary book. So feeling in a slightly frivolous and provocative mood that day, I wrote this. Thought some at least might enjoy it.
