Ubisoft acquires Driver franchise
Ubisoft has announced the acquisition of the Driver franchise as well as most of the assets and all the personnel of Reflections.
Driver has had its ups and downs since debuting on the PlayStation in 1999, and with Driver: Parallel Lines the franchise was brought back on course after the disaster that was DRIV3R. Despite recent games not living up to the PlayStation original, Ubisoft has deemed the franchise strong enough to purchase, costing the publisher 19 million Euros.
"We are thrilled with this acquisition which will allow us to add a prestigious title to our catalogue and to enter into the driving games segment, one of the most important segments in the gaming industry. With more than 14 million units sold throughout the world, Driver is one of the most successful brands in the history of video games. We look forward to leveraging the unique knowledge of the Ubisoft studios to ensure that Driver will be one of the leading brands of the next generation of consoles," said Yves Guillemot, CEO of Ubisoft.
With Reflections Interactive now a Ubisoft owned development studio, it's unclear if the franchise will be given to a new development team or not. We'll bring you the details as soon as the next game in the series is announced.

Comments On Mar 31, 2011:Purchased a pair for those many cold days we must endure up here in Canada. The first thing I really noticed is the sizing. I used the size chart and going by my normal shoe size orderd a medium. I really should have ordered the large. Although they do fit, it is a tight fit, and tight fit on socks leads to poor circulation and....cold feet. The material is very thin, so I would really like to wear a thin sock under the heated one, but no way with the size I bought. I will wear another loose fitting sock over top of them. They seem to be well made, and the fitment on the foot is quite good, as it is not a tube sock. I plugged mine in directly to the bottom of my Tourmaster Synergy heated pant liner, but wish I had ordered the seperate wiring harness for the times I dont use the pant liner (will be ordering). The nice thing is, they really do a nice job of heating, and there are no annoying wires to walk on within the sock. Would I order another pair?...yes, but keeping in mind to get a size larger than indicated.

Some of those people, I predict, won't get it done on time. But at least they had ample warning. More often than not, restaurants close abruptly, sometimes shockingly so. One day it's here, next day it's gone, and for those who always meant to visit, the opportunity is lost.
Scott Anderson, elements, Princeton, N.J.
The one to visit: "Where I want to eat the most is David Kinch's Manresa (Los Gatos, Calif.)." The one that got away: "L2O (Chicago), when Laurent Gras was there, is the one that got away."
Jim Burke, Caffe Storico, New York
The one to visit: "Being in New York certainly has an effect on what these answers are. The restaurant I'd like to visit most is Eleven Madison Park; I love the mystery and spontaneity of the tasting menu, and am very impressed with the blending of classic and modern techniques and flavor combinations." The one that got away: "Not to sound corny, but Charlie Trotter's will be the one that got away. I've always had tremendous respect for him as a chef, and found it remarkable that he was able to continue to push his menu forward after so many successful years and so many accolades."
Paula DaSilva, 1500 Degrees, Miami Beach, Fla.
The one to visit: "Currently I'm trying to get tickets to eat at Grant Achatz's Next. I really admire Grant's perseverance and passion for this industry; I also find his style of cuisine very interesting. It's very different from my style of cooking, so I would love to try it." The one that got away: "Sorry, I don't have an answer for this one; nothing comes to my mind."
Graham Elliot, Graham Elliot and Grahamwich, Chicago
The one to visit: "The one I'm anxious to try right now is Manresa. I had the chance to cook with chef (David) Kinch at an event in Bangkok, and am super-excited to experience his cuisine firsthand." The one that got away: "I wish I had had a chance to try Town House, in the middle of nowhere (Chilhowie, Va.), while chefs John and Karen Shields were still there; they departed just last week."
Stephanie Izard, Girl & the Goat, Chicago
The one to visit: "Asador Etxebarri, in Spain. Simple food cooked primarily over firewood sounds perfect." The one that got away: "I would have loved to have gone to Barney's Market Club on Randolph Street; it would have been great to get that authentic diner feel right in this neighborhood."
Edward Lee, 610 Magnolia, Louisville, Ky.
The one to visit: "Ryugin in Tokyo; chef Seiji Yamamoto is doing some incredible things with modern kaiseki." The one that got away: "I guess El Bulli (Spain), but also Lumiere in Vancouver. But mostly I regret never going to Elaine's in New York. I grew up there, probably walked past it a million times, but it never crossed my mind to go in. I figured it would always be there."
Joseph Lenn, The Barn at Blackberry Farm, Walland, Tenn.
The one to visit: "In the States, Manresa. Out of country, Asador Etxebarri." The one that got away: "In the States, Seeger's (Atlanta); out of country, El Bulli."
Andrew Little, The Dining Room at Sheppard Mansion, Hanover, Pa.
The one to visit: "I would really like to visit the French Laundry (Yountville, Calif.). There are so many reasons, but the main reason is that my parents bought me (chef/owner Thomas) Keller's cookbook early in my career, and that book and his work have had such a profound impact on American dining that I feel I need to eat there." The one that got away: "Top of my list would have to be Jean Louis at the Watergate Hotel (Washington) The stories about the food and Jean-Louis (the late Jean-Louis Palladin) are legendary."

November 6, 2012
Virginia is delaying the release of its election results until 8 p.m. at the earliest because so many people are still in line waiting to vote.
Polls in Virginia closed at 7 p.m., but those still in line at the time are still allowed to vote.
The Virginia State Board of Elections said in a news release Tuesday after the polls closed that it wanted to ensure voters aren't unduly influenced by preliminary results.
The release says the board consulted with officials from the Republican and Democratic parties on the move.

Seagate to acquire disk drive test company
Last Updated: 16:45 December 26, 2013
Cupertino, California-based Seagate (Nasdaq: STX) will acquire all outstanding shares of Xyratex Ltd. (Nasdaq: XRTX), based in Havant, Hampshire, United Kingdom, in a transaction valued at $13.25 per share plus approximately $80 million in cash on Xyratex's balance sheet as of Aug. 31. The stock purchase represents a premium of about 27 percent per share over Xyratex's stock price at the close of trading on Friday, Dec. 20.
A Seagate press release said the company would operate Xyratex as a stand-alone entity. No one was available for comment at Seagate's operations in Longmont, where about 1,250 people are employed.
Xyratex has developed a hard disk drive capital test equipment business. The Seagate press statement said the acquisition will further strengthen Seagate's supply and manufacturing chain for disk drives and ensure uninterrupted access to capital equipment. The acquisition also expands Seagate's storage-solutions portfolio by adding Xyratex's enterprise data storage systems and computing business, the statement said.
"This is a strategically important acquisition for Seagate as we continue to focus on delivering best-in-class storage solutions for our customers," said Dave Mosley, president of operations and technology at Seagate, in the press statement. "As the average capacity per drive increases to multi-terabytes, the time to test these drives increases dramatically. Therefore, access to world-class test equipment becomes an increasingly strategic capability."
Baker Street Capital, Xyratex's largest shareholder, has agreed to vote its shares in favor of the transaction, which is expected to close in mid-2014.
Allen & Co. LLC served as financial adviser and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati served as primary legal adviser to Seagate in connection with the transaction. Credit Suisse served as financial advisor and Latham & Watkins LLP served as legal advisor to Xyratex.

VIERA -- Henderson Alvarez said he can't wait to wear the name of his country — Venezuela — on the front of his uniform when he plays in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.
Sunday, the Marlins' new pitcher stepped foot on a game mound for the first time wearing a "Miami" uniform.
And he provided some promising results in his spring debut for his new major-league team.
Alvarez held the Washington Nationals to only one hit over two innings in a game that was called by mutual agreement after the 10th inning with the score tied 2-2.
Most impressive of all?
He didn't mess around. Of his 22 pitches, 19 were for strikes.
"Sometimes, your first outing, you're amped up, a little nervous," manager Mike Redmond said. "But I thought he was, for a young guy, completely under control.
"Obviously, the numbers spoke for themselves with the number of strikes he threw."
The Marlins acquired Alvarez in their 12-player trade with Toronto, and the right-hander is expected to fill the fourth spot in the rotation.
"All my pitches fell in the strike zone," Alvarez said of Sunday's outing.
"My plan was to go out there on the field, get my pitches in the zone, and have the batters swing."
Alvarez will make one more spring start for the Marlins before joining Team Venezuela for the WBC, which takes place next month.
Search for catcher
The Marlins have "begun the process" of looking for catching help outside the organization in the aftermath of Saturday's injury to Jeff Mathis, according to a team source.
But, given that the start of the season is still five weeks off, they're in no great hurry to pull the trigger on a deal.
And the team could decide to go with Kyle Skipworth as the primary backup to Rob Brantly.
Other than Mathis and Brantly, the Marlins have no catchers with big-league experience in the organization, and Brantly has appeared in only 31 major-league games.
The Marlins could wait for other teams to trim rosters later in spring training and look for the best available catcher from the pile of discards.
The Colorado Rockies are one team with an abundance of experienced catchers, including Yorvit Torrealba, Ramon Hernandez and Wilin Rosario.
Mathis is expected to miss anywhere from six weeks to two months after his right collarbone was broken Saturday on a foul tip.
• First baseman Casey Kotchman tested his injured finger Sunday with a couple of at-bats in a simulated game in Jupiter, Redmond said.
Kotchman, who received four stitches on his left ring finger when he sliced it open during a drill last week, could be ready to play in the next couple of days.
• Redmond said reliever Jose Ceda, who had Tommy John surgery last year, pitched in the simulated game.
• Monday: Marlins LHP Wade LeBlanc (2-5, 3.67 ERA) at Atlanta Braves RHP Kris Medlen (10-1, 1.57), 1:05 p.m., Lake Buena Vista.
• Tuesday: Marlins RHP Ricky Nolasco (12-13, 4.48) vs. New York Mets RHP Jenrry Mejia (1-2, 5.63), 1:05 p.m., Jupiter.

Latest tournament shakeup a showcase of tennis' global reach
Story Highlights
Three U.S. events added or extended sponsors; two more will relocate elsewhere
Basing an argument against equal pay on sets played is the wrong path to take
Pat Summitt once coached college tennis and shares a birthday with Steffi Graf
It seemed like you had a lot of tweets about American tennis tournaments this week. Moving and changing and getting sponsors. In a paragraph, what does it all mean big picture?
-- David M., South Africa
• Just a paragraph? It was a busy, mixed week for tennis in America. The good news: Taylor Townsend, a 16-year-old from Stockbridge, Ga., who trains full-time at the USTA Training Center Headquarters in Boca Raton, Fla., became the top-ranked junior and the first American girl to earn the No. 1 ranking since the ITF combined singles and doubles rankings in 2004. The Atlanta event got a title sponsor -- pretty much a pre-req for sustained existence, in BB&T. The Washington, D.C., event has a new sponsor in Citi and will be a mixed-gender event. The Cincinnati event announced that Western and Southern has extended its sponsorship. All good. On the other side of the ledger, the Memphis event will be moved to Brazil after next year. And San Jose will shut its doors after 2013 and move to Memphis.
Big picture -- sorry, had to go to a second paragraph -- as if more indication was needed, this is just additional evidence that tennis is truly global. Spending time lamenting how many events have moved off U.S. shores is like pining for the days when everyone went to the bookstore and the record store and worked in the manufacturing sector. At some level you have to accept change and the new reality it renders. In tennis, the world isn't merely flat; it's been pounded with a rolling pin. The players come from everywhere; fans come from everywhere; the barriers to enter are minimal; sponsor capital is spread all over the place. As such, it makes little sense for one country to host such a disproportionate number of tournaments. Is it too bad that still more American events are headed offshore? Yes. If you're American. If you're Brazilian, you're thrilled. But it's not the ineptitude of the ATP or the USTA or the local promoter so much as its global capitalism bringing its A-game.
I keep thinking I'll just let this go once and for all, but then you include another letter and respond to the question of equal prize money and I get all riled up again. You always put value, time and entertainment at the crux of your defense, but you never ever talk about the fact that it's just unfair, plain and simple, UNFAIR, to the men. Can you defend your opinion on this basis and explain to me how it's fair that the men have to play more points, more games and more sets to take home the same amount in their paychecks? It may take one golfer longer to play the course, but they all play 18 holes. Equal pay for equal work was a long, hard-fought battle. The way the WTA has interpreted this does such a grave disservice to its original intent. I would seriously like to know your answer.
-- Michele, New York
• My instincts mirror yours. Enough already. But we get a ton of mail on this, so we'll hit it once more before tabling for at least a few weeks (months?). Two preliminary points: A) If this doesn't interest you, jump ahead. We have plenty more questions further down on the page. No offense taken. B) Says here NO ONE should be playing best-of-five. Attention spans are diminishing. Broadcasters seek time certainty. Every other sports property -- from cricket to golf -- is being sped up. Players face injury at an unprecedented level. Why are we still asking athletes to compete in marathon matches?
Anyway: I have very mixed feelings about equal prize money. We all like the concept of equality. It makes tennis look progressive -- a characterization seldom used in the sport. On a crassly practical level, the bad publicity and protesting resulting from unequal purses probably outstrips any gains.
I get hung up on the fact that the WTA either can't or won't demonstrate equal value. Here comes my scrooge-like Male Chauvinistic Pig thought exercise, sure to invite rage, starting with my lovely wife: what would the WTA pioneers say today if the women could prove that by every conceivable metric the WTA product was worth more than the ATP in the marketplace, yet the men demanded an equal stake of the prize money?
But as for the sets played, I just think it is the wrong path to take. For one, it's not as though anyone is demanding a best-of-five women's match and the WTA is refusing. (If anything, the men should come down to best-of-three). You talk about "equal work," but you're defining the terms. Maybe for Agnieszka Radwanska -- who's 5-foot-6, 123 pounds and often hitting dozens of balls per rally -- her three sets are comparable work to Ivo Karlovic's five sets. She could very easily be hitting more balls and moving a greater distance per match.
Let's take this to an (il)logical extreme: if the women decided to play best-of-five tomorrow, suddenly the issue is resolved, we're all OK with equal prize money? Heck, why not volunteer to play best-of-seven and ask for more money than the men? Best of nine?
Here are two voices on opposite ends. Consider these and then let's move on:
Amelie, Amherst, Mass.: "Dude, I'm an unapologetic feminist, and the mantra is "equal pay for equal work" -- three sets do not equal five sets. If your starting point is that you're gonna play LESS than the other, then you've got a problem. Your comparisons are off -- e.g. in boxing you start off with a set number of rounds, it's not as if the rules state that these certain boxers are going to fight for seven rounds and those others will fight for nine rounds but we'll pay them the same. There is nothing wrong in acknowledging that men and women are indeed different, and the fair, logical, feminist thing to do is to accept that if you're going to play two fewer sets than men, then you should be paid less."
Joshua, Portland, Ore.: "So it appears there are actually still people deeply motivated by the grave injustice of equal prize money (sorry dudes, the battle's over, and you lost!), and your response to Mr. Singh was a very fine one. But I have to point out that he employs an extremely common and entirely ludicrous argument that we've been hearing for too many years to allow it to stand. Whenever people make an argument based on "men do more work," they like to compare an extremely long, exceptionally fine men's match to a brief and unexceptionable women's match. It's a way of cherry-picking the data to make the differences seem more extreme than they are. During Roger Federer's heyday, men's finals were routinely lackluster, while Venus Williams and Lindsay Davenport fought tooth-and-lacquered-nail for victory -- in a match that lasted longer than Federer's! Likewise, does Novak Djokovic deserve more money for this year's Australian Open final victory than for last year's demolition of Andy Murray, which was only longer than a straight-set women's match because the rules mean it HAS to be?
Arguments for the superiority of men's tennis are always designed to compare the best of men's tennis to the worst (or at least not-at-all-best) of women's tennis. They're also extremely flexible: women's tennis is boring because there's never any drama, and the top players always make the semis! No, wait, what makes men's tennis awesome is that the top four players are so dominant and always make the semis, unlike those girls who keep losing to really good competition in early rounds!
There are reasonable arguments to be made for men making more money than women. The problem is, the people who dislike women earning equal prize money aren't interested in reasonableness or fairness. They just don't like women playing tennis. And as tennis is one of the only sports to have promoted female value and athletic ability from its earliest days, this makes me very sad."
Do you or Greg Sharko know if anyone has ever won any ATP tournament eight times in a row? Or even 8 times at all? Amazing.
-- @nogall
• According to TMS (The Mighty Sharko), no ATP player in the Open Era has won an event eight times, much less eight consecutive times. Except for Rafael Nadal in Monte Carlo.
Doesn't it seem wrong that Monte Carlo is still considered a Masters Series title, even though it is no longer mandatory?
-- Anonymous (i.e. your faithful administrator can't find name and hometown)
• One can only imagine how this conversation played out:
ATP: We're thinking of dropping you as a Masters Series event! The top players are indicating that they no longer wa—
Monte Carlo: Nonsense! What if we continue to pay the Masters Series purse, yet we won't insist that the top players show up?
ATP: So, um, you're saying, you'll pay the full fare but won't require full attendance?
Monte Carlo: That's precisely what we're saying!
ATP: And you get ... what .. precisely out of this arrangement?
Monte Carlo: We keep the prestigious Masters Series designation.
ATP: Um, OK.
I think I read that she taught tennis early in her career at UT, and she shares a birthday with Steffi Graf. I think that's a strong enough tennis connection to warrant a shout out to Pat Summitt for a brilliant coaching career that's elevated women's sports, yes?
-- Talia Schank, New York
• Very good. I never knew either fact. Steffi Graf was born June 14, 1969, and Summit was born the same day in 1952. And Summitt did indeed teach tennis at the college (A tennis-y volunteer, as it were) before becoming a full-time basketball coach. I wouldn't even qualify your statement with use of the word "women." Summitt elevated sports, period.
Now that Maria Sharapova is routinely walking into the finals of almost every big event, can we expect her to win a slam? Or is she mentally too fragile to win a slam? Did you notice that during the Miami final, she was outplayed by Radwanska and desperately sought on-court coaching and subjected us to hearing her coach tell her to "focus?"
-- Susan Rafaelle, San Francisco, Calif.
• Without dramatizing this too much and throwing out phrases on the order of "crossroads" and "critical juncture," these are interesting times for Sharapova. She's back in the top five and made a fine -- and, I would suggest, underappreciated -- return from her shoulder injury. She's putting herself in a position to win big trophies. And yet time and again, under different circumstances, she's failed to close the deal. I wouldn't describe her as "fragile." But her aura of "steely competitor" is diminishing.
Thanks for your response to the "haters" of the world. I am a huge Roger Federer fan. I've always been partial to the graceful ones. I adored Stefan Edberg. I continue to mourn what Mario Ancic might have been. As a proud Canadian, I've found other things to love about Milos Raonic (physical grace not being his strong suit). Rafael Nadal makes it look so hard I get exhausted watching him. All that said, I admire Nadal's tenacity, athleticism, comportment and all-around skills and achievements. What's to hate? So, who do you think are the most graceful players on tour these days?
-- Susannah, Edmonton, Canada
• I've made a mental note of this from time to time, and you've given me a reminder. Too often the term "graceful" is used only with respect to men. It's Federer and Edberg and the backhand of Richard Gasquet or the hook forehand of Pete Sampras. Take a peek at the other side of the draw. Steffi Graf had grace. Justine Henin had grace. Francesca Schiavone has it. Maria Kirilenko. Carla Suarez Navarro. We can debate the definition, but the discussion should probably be dual-gendered. That's all. Please carry on.
Grunting, commercial reviews, is Serena nice? Maestro Federer vs. humble bull Nadal, GOAT debates. ... Honestly, Jon, your Mailbag is beginning to degenerate. The Wertheim Mailbag is supposed to be an oasis in a desert of sophomoric message board posts. Please get back to tennis.
-- Fernando
• I can't tell if that's a backhanded compliment (one-handed, please) or an insult or both. But suffice to say your message is received. Three Wozniackian counterpunches: 1) Ideally some of these "sophomoric" themes -- i.e. is Serena nice? -- can mutate into broader and more substantive issues. 2) Without being a slave to traffic, I like to discuss issues of interest to you. Personally, I'm fine going months without debating the Hall of Fame credentials or the unanswerable questions of whether Bjorn Borg with a migraine would beat Nadal with knee trouble. On clay. During the vernal equinox. Using spaghetti string rackets. But I realize I'm in the minority. 3) I would argue more than most sports, part of what gives tennis its appeal is the soap opera component. Fashion and tension and shifting loyalties and character arcs and the personae of the dramatis personae. If we restrict ourselves to forehands and backhands and hitting the lefty slice into the backhand, we will soon fall into a deep sleep, a deeeeep sleeeeep, a deeeeeeeeeeeeep sllllllleeeeeeeeeep ...
Here are the ranking points No. 2 Nadal and No. 3 Federer presently have: Rafael Nadal 9,715 and Roger Federer 8,880. Do you see Federer surpassing Nadal and ending up the No. 2 French Open seed?
-- Joe Johnson, Easton, Pa.
• It's conceivable, but I don't envision it, if only because A) it's hard to see Nadal losing much on clay and B) if he's going to lose, it's likely going to be to Djokovic. And for Djokovic and Nadal to get to the finals, it will likely mean that one or the other has beaten Federer. But who knows? One tweak-y injury or one rough day at the office and Nadal could be seeded third in Paris.
Also Dani Najman, of New York wondered: "As the men began playing in Monte Carlo, Nadal has 9,215 points, and had 1000 to defend. If he won the event, which he did, how come his point total is now 9,715? Where are the extra 500 points coming from?"
Sharko to the rescue: "Last year's Barcelona points came off this week and Nadal had 500 from the title. So with MC title (1,000) he picked up a net of 500. Last year's MC pts. came off last week."
I think Nadal's slow play does benefit him in one key area. Nadal's ability to concentrate is a comparative advantage against anyone not named Deep Blue. By lengthening the match, I believe Nadal's mental focus stays close to 100 percent whereas his opponent can begin to lose some strategic and/or tactical clarity. As you pointed out regarding the Australian Open semifinal matches, a few points can make the difference. I would add that a few bad decisions by the opposition can lead to those very points going Rafa's way.
-- Dan Martin, Park Hills, Ky.
• That's interesting. And, of course, it's easy to see how an opponent's concentration could waver. It's not simply the extra time. It's the fact that those extra 10 or 15 seconds are different from conventional rhythms. You can liken this to all sorts of situations. If all of your essay tests in school are an hour, but one teacher gives a 75-minute test, you can see how this could throw off a student. If your match.com date pauses an extra few seconds before answering your questions ("How bad is your commute?" "Do you watch 'Mad Men?'" "How did people meet before the interweb?") your whole rap gets thrown off, I suspect.
Krishan of Houston also raised the point that whereas Federer is quick and decisive, Nadal uses this time to recuperate physically and also gather himself mentally for the next point: "If you take that away from him [i.e. "enforce the rules"] he loses a considerable part of his game," Krishan writes.
Again, a shot clock eliminates this complaint -- and a knock on the sport's top two players -- and I don't really see a downside. It's another fan-friendly innovation (inasmuch as a device used by other sports for the last half-century innovates.) It's not prohibitively expensive. And if there were inconsistencies with respect when the chair began the countdown, so what? The players would adjust accordingly.
For the record, Radwanska's nickname has ALWAYS been Aga. Apparently, this is news for the American tennis media, but her fans have known that her real nickname was Aga and not Aggie for a long time now. Just sayin'... I've read that this is a "new" nickname once too often. :)
-- Patrick Preston, Chicago
• Aga is less a nickname than a convenient truncating of a name that, while popular and perhaps mellifluous in Poland, confounds ugly Americans, particularly the tastemakers and the branding types. Same for Rafa, Vika, Masha, Caro et al.
Which leads me to this: where have all the cool nicknames gone? (Hanging out with drop shots and volleys, gut strings and wooden rackets at any of a dozen shuddered American events perhaps?) What happened to the Rocket and Rabbits and Muscles and Pistols and Scuds and Killers?
Maybe there's a cultural essay to be written here: when athletes weren't ubiquitous, nicknames were helpful in branding athletes and giving them identity; now it's obviated by a decent website, YouTube channel and Twitter feed? Maybe we're too cynical and would smirk ironically at athletes conferring on themselves the nom de guerre of "Splendid Splinter" or "Iron Horse" or "Sweetness." Maybe all the good nicknames have been taken, rendering so many names derivative. Maybe -- as we wish him a return to full health -- we just miss Bud Collins.
The hoopla over the possibility of an unprecedented eighth consecutive title for Rafael Nadal at Monte Carlo inspired me to peruse the list of past champions. I was surprised to find a gap for 1981. The ATP website shows the finalists that year were Jimmy Connors and Guillermo Vilas, but no champion was named. Is there an interesting story here or was it just a typo?
-- Randy Wilson, Hershey, Pa.
• Sharko gets royalties this week. The one indispensable figure in all of tennis tells us, no, it's no typo. The final was abandoned that year due to rain.
Enough about Federer's Lindt commercial. When are we going to get your thoughts on Michael Russell's epic Tennis Express beach commercial that Tennis Channel has on a continuous loop?
-- Blake, Bristol, Tenn.
• Three words, Blake: Clio short list.
Long as we're here, loyal reader Helen of Philadelphia turned us on (which is to say off) to this spot. She writes: "GIRLS, SET AND MATCH"... really?? The WTA's logo is on this site -- did they have any input into the tagline?? YIKES.
I know you are loath to criticize Nadal. But can you at least play armchair psychiatrist and offer reasons as to why he so often complains of knee pain only to run like a jackrabbit around the court the next day and demonstrate absolutely no evidence of said pain? Is he lowering his own expectations? Lowering ours? Playing possum for his opponents? Surely there are other players who experience similar levels of discomfort from whom we hear little or no complaints.
-- Danny Reichert, New York
• What can I say here? I'm not loath to criticize Nadal; I'm loath to question the severity of any athlete's injury. Does Nadal have an unfortunate habit of complaining about his knee and then appearing unencumbered? No question. Is there some psychological dimension to this? Sure. My armchair psychiatrist tells me that it's less about psyching out the opponent than it is about manufacturing a nothing-to-lose mentality in his own head.
Positive spin job: At a minimum, Nadal's ongoing injury drama and melodrama suggests he's much more psychologically complex than many may have previously thought.
You and the other Nadal haters keep talking about how disappointing he's been lately. Well, for 99.9 percent of the other players, his past year (winning the French Open and reaching the finals at Wimbledon, the U.S. and Australian Opens) would be a dream season. How about a little perspective?
-- Miguel, London
• The same day I got this love paean, Jean Durr of South Africa asked: "Why do you hate Federer and love Nadal?? It is patently obvious from your blogs. I doubt Federer gives a squat tho."
I was already confused as to whether I am "the No. 1 Serena apologist" and "radically politically correct" on All Matters Williams. Or if I am a hater and an executive officer (Mary Carillo is the president I was told) of the Anti-Williams Society.
As to Miguel's question, sure, 99.9 percent of other players would have killed for Nadal's year. But 99.9 percent of the players aren't Rafael Nadal. You win three majors in 2010, it's not surprising that when you win "only" one of the next five, there are murmurs. Them's the rules.
You started me up again by mentioning the women against the men (1,000th best and so forth). In your opinion, would 2000-2010 Serena beat Ken Rosewall 1965-75? (3 and 3 in the favor of the one with only one X chromosome ... is how I have it).
-- Patrick Kramer, Oslo, Norway
• If I remember correctly from high school biology, one X chromosome means the male. I've never been big on these inter-era comparisons. Much less inter-gender, inter-era. And it seems to me that we need to establish ground rules, surface and technology standards before we can even begin to contemplate. Rosewall was well before my time, so I spent a few minutes toying around YouTube.
I guess you can judge for yourself if you're so inclined.
In the spirit of the NHL Playoffs: Rafael Nadal has a lower-body injury. No story, no quotes.
-- J.B., Portland
• Surely you're not implying that the NHL is less than forthright about issuing injury updates.
I'm actually pretty surprised that there was much debate regarding Jennifer Capriati's inclusion into the Hall of Fame. I was in school at the University of Miami and passed by the hotel she had been arrested at all the time, but I think it speaks more to her character to have overcome these ADOLESCENT personal demons, especially after such a fall. I think it's a poor call to make judgments about her off-court antics when she was essentially still a child and focus more on her achievements as an adult. Are there other awards in which someone's teenage years come into play? Either way, congratulations to her...
-- Greg, Philadelphia
• Right on. If "regrettable teenage decisions" disqualified us from receiving awards and achievements as adults, most of us would be in big trouble.
Just to clear up any confusion: the Hall of Fame staggered their announcements to maximize the PR impact. That Capriati's announcement came late in the process doesn't mean that her admission was necessarily a close call.
I was wondering if you watched the videos of Lady Gaga that I attached to my email last week, and if so, has your view of her changed at all?
-- Evan, Albany, N.Y.
• Evan (validly) questioned our comparing Lady Gaga to Norah Jones, I think my view was changed.
Too late to change it to that wretched Ke$ha?

• Press releasing: "College tennis powerhouses and intracity rivals USC and UCLA may meet for the third time this season as the first Pac-12 Men's Championships dual-match format event kicks off at the 112th annual Ojai Valley Tennis Tournament starting Wednesday.

USC won the doubles point Friday and got wins in singles from No. 1 Steve Johnson and No. 3 Daniel Nguyen, both Southern California natives and USC's lone seniors who were playing in their final regular-season match at Marks Stadium."
• We haven't done "Random Tennis Player Encounters" in a while. I'm getting a backlog again, so will throw in a few periodically:
Martin of Santa Monica, Calif.: "My encounter with a 14 Grand Slam title winner: Pete Sampras was on the Third Street Promenade today. When he noticed that I recognized him, he was nice enough to turn to me and say 'Hi.' After telling him that I was lucky enough to see him play in person and what a treat that was, I mentioned that I wish Roger Federer had his serve. He smiled and very graciously replied 'He has other weapons.' Now I see why they are such good friends, they seem to be two extremely decent people."
• Raj of Bridgewater, N.J.: "Aaron White and Gaurav Kumar about teaching his daughter to ride a bike. Totally agree with Aaron! When I was kid in India, scooters came with only three wheels. However, I was able to find one that had two wheels. I learned to balance for a week and lo behold, I knew how to bike. Last year, I did the same for my 5-year-old son, and he can now ride a bike very well! Hey, nothing beats the backbreaking job of holding/chasing your kid and hoping they don't crash into a tree."
• Murphy and Luke Jensen are spearheading Sea Island's tennis program, with Murphy serving as tennis ambassador and Luke as a year-round touring pro.
• Michael Friend of Dunwoody, Ga.: "If Isner and Querrey are Quisner, are Blake and Querrey Quake?"
• Arti P. of New York asks: "Have they started scripting a movie on Boris Becker's life yet? They need to look no further than Daniel Craig to play him."
Have a good week everyone!

Pair of pleas and a trial date set in Kane County Court
By Dan Campana For The Beacon-News February 8, 2013 11:20AM
Updated: March 11, 2013 6:40AM
ST. CHARLES - A March bench trial has been scheduled for a man charged with drunken driving that raised questions about an Aurora police officer's handling of the arrest.
John Holdren, 68, is accused of driving under the influence near Galena Boulevard and West Park Place in May. The officer wrote in the DUI complaint that Holdren, 67, had glassy, bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and smelled of alcohol. Holdren registered a .147 blood-alcohol content level — the legal limit in Illinois is .08 — and told the officer he had had two or three glasses of wine, according to court records.
The case became complicated when the officer backdated and refiled a document with the Illinois Secretary of State's Office to suspend Holdren's license. After learning what the officer had done, Kathleen Colton, Holdren's attorney, successfully sought to have the suspension rescinded. The officer reportedly made derogatory remarks toward Holdren after the hearing where the suspension was dropped. Colton tried to have the officer sanctioned by the court, but a judge did not agree to that request.
Holdren's trial is scheduled for March 4.
Sentencing set in St. Charles assault
A 67-year-old St. Charles man, who at one time was a registered sex offender, is scheduled to be sentenced on April 3 after recently pleading guilty to one count of criminal sexual assault.
Gary Kluber was arrested in June after an Aurora woman, the girlfriend of Kluber's nephew, reported Kluber forcibly fondled her and performed a sex act on her without consent while the pair was at a St. Charles residence. The woman is 35, but has developmental disabilities that cause her to function at a pre-adolescent level, prosecutors said,
Kluber faces between four and 15 years in prison at sentencing. Prosecutors dropped other related charges, but did not agree to a sentence, as part of the plea. Kluber has previous sex abuse arrests, which landed him on the sex offender registry, and was arrested in 2010 for illegally being in a school zone, records show. Kluber is being held without bond in the Kane County Jail.
Drug plea for
Aurora man
An Aurora man is back in prison after recently pleading guilty to drug delivery charges stemming from a large-scale federal sweep last year.
David Stewart, 29, was sentenced to three years in prison after a deal with prosecutors. He was charged with selling heroin within 1,000 feet of Gregory Island Park in September 2012.
Stewart was one of 19 people arrested as part of a federal and state investigation, which began in 2011, into drug and weapons trafficking in Kane County, officials said at the time. Stewart received credit for 115 days spent in Kane County Jail and is scheduled to be paroled in April 2014, according to the Illinois Department of Correction.
He has been in prison at least three times since 2003 for drug, weapons and obstruction of justice convictions.

Last week we wrote about Comcast developing a video streaming service that some people likened to Netflix. That Comcast and other cable companies may want to do that is pretty obvious—streaming video is killing cable.
Well, killing may be a strong word. In fact, it sounds like major cable companies might just be flirting with Netflix. Some people are naturally drawn to those who are bad for them. Or is this a case of keeping your enemies close.
Anyway, Reuters is reporting the major cable company execs have been in talks with Netflix about adding the video company's streaming service onto their set-top-boxes. Is that madness? Maybe, maybe not.
Would NetFlix on a cable STB work the same way as it does on a Blu-ray player, smart TV or Roku (or Apple TV)—essentially an app that needs to be verified through a code that proves you pay for the service? Or would this be a deeper integration, something like a VOD option within the cable company's own menu?
According to the Reuters story, it may be offered as a feature that the cable company would charge for (and then share the revenue with NetFlix).
On one hand, it sounds like madness. Why would a cable company encourage users to try out a service that could replace much of their video watching? But what if the cable company uses Netflix as its VOD arm? Then the cable company wouldn't have to spend so much time developing and managing is VOD platform. And what if that cable company also controlled a major TV network and a movie studio… hmm.
The report also suggested that Netflix sees itself as a rival to cable TV channels like HBO. Netflix does now offer some of its own original programming. If a complete integration of Netflix offerings isn't possible (due to many complicated content licenses) perhaps Netflix original programming could come to cable VOD without the need to actually be a Netflix customer.
A few weeks ago Verizon announced that it will be working on a streaming service with DVD rental company Redbox.
Streaming video over broadband has created a whole new world for content providers, so I expect many tentative moves and trial programs before all the player figure out where they stand in this new territory.
Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.
Update: Looks like Comcast doesn't want any part of Netflix, but what about the other big cable companies?

British Sign LanguagePrint
40,000 L1 users (Deuchar 1984) out of 909,000 deaf; majority probably have some degree of sign language competence (Deuchar 1977).
England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland.
5 (Developing).
Not inherently intelligible to users of American Sign Language [ase]. Deaf community is cohesive so communication good despite regional differences. Signing varies along a continuum from something usually called Signed English (which draws on BSL vocabulary but uses grammatical structure like spoken English) to natural BSL. Different styles of signing used in different situations, and signers vary in terms of how much of the range of signing styles they control. Many structural similarities between British Sign Language (BSL), Australian Sign Language (Auslan) [asf], and New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) [nzs] and a high degree of mutual intelligibility (Johnston 2003).

Sawsbuck is a decent offensive threat that can become very successful when used with a combination of Sunny Day and Tailwind. It lives up to its reputation as one of the best Chlorophyll users in the metagame which, combined with base 100 Attack, makes Sawsbuck a solid choice for any Sunny Day or Tailwind VGC team.
Sawsbuck is a potent threat under the sun. When Chlorophyll is activated, this deer has a Speed of 294 with Adamant and a whopping 332 Speed with Jolly, allowing Sawsbuck to outspeed every unboosted Pokemon in the metagame. Horn Leech is a good STAB move that can hit popular VGC Pokemon hard while regaining health; for instance, it OHKOes Terrakion and 2HKOes maximum HP Jellicent. Return is a great secondary STAB as it dents common Pokemon that resist Horn Leech, such as Tornadus, Thundurus, Whimsicott, and maximum HP Amoonguss. Double-Edge is stronger, but Return is preferred as it OHKOes Thundurus and Tornadus, two major threats to Sawsbuck, without the recoil damage of Double-Edge.
There are two good moves worth considering for the third moveslot. Jump Kick OHKOes Bisharp and Zoroark and 2HKOes Vanilluxe; however, it only 3HKOes Chople Berry Scrafty and damages Sawsbuck if the attack misses or the opposing Pokemon uses Protect. Megahorn 2HKOes Musharna and OHKOes Hydreigon; the latter is a huge threat to any sun teams due to its resistances to Fire-, Grass-, and Ghost-type moves. Protect is a very useful move to have in the VGC metagame, as it provides Sawsbuck with a guarantee of safety while its partner sets up Sunny Day or Tailwind. This can save Sawsbuck from faster threats and priority moves, such as Conkeldurr's Mach Punch, an attack that can OHKO with a Guts boost or 2HKO without one. It is also very useful for scouting out opposing moves, giving you time to react accordingly.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Sawsbuck has access to Sap Sipper, which increases Sawsbuck's Attack when hit by a Grass-type move. With this in mind, Sawsbuck can switch into and effectively hard counter Amoonguss, one of the most popular and effective VGC Pokemon. Horn Leech is a good STAB move that keeps Sawsbuck's health full. Return is a good secondary STAB move, 2HKOing Thundurus, Tornadus, and Whimsicott, while 3HKOing Amoonguss. Jump Kick can OHKO Bisharp and Zoroark, 2HKO Hydreigon, and 3HKO Chople Berry Scrafty. Nature Power turns into Earthquake when used in Wi-Fi battles, which can 2HKO Chandelure, one of Sawsbuck's biggest threats. Protect is always a good to have to scout for priority moves; Fake Out can break Sawsbuck's Focus Sash while Conkeldurr's Guts boosted Mach Punch gets a clean OHKO. Protect also allows Sawsbuck's teammate to set up Tailwind, and lets it scout an opponent's moves. Sawsbuck shines with a Focus Sash, especially with Horn Leech to keep its health full.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Protect can be replaced with Swords Dance to raise Sawsbuck's Attack. Although Jump Kick or Megahorn is preferred on Sawsbuck, remember that Wild Charge is an option to easily OHKO Tornadus and Archeops. Nature Power becomes Earthquake in Wi-Fi battles, giving Sawsbuck an option to easily 2HKO Chandelure. If Item Clause is an issue, you can switch out Life Orb for a Focus Sash or vice versa, as they are both good items.
Checks and Counters
Chandelure is probably the best counter to Sawsbuck. It can easily OHKO Sawsbuck with Heat Wave and is immune to Jump Kick and Return, while also resisting Horn Leech and Megahorn. Conkeldurr is another great counter, as it can OHKO Sawsbuck with a priority Mach Punch once Guts activates. Opposing Tornadus can easily set up Tailwind, which makes its teammates faster than Sawsbuck; it can also OHKO Sawsbuck with Acrobatics.

I've been able to display in my app, using DirectX 9.0 and c#, the model exported from 3D studio max in .X file format. But now I'm trying to get the whole animation thing going and I know the .X file has animation cause I've actually just used the .X file that has come with the …\DX90SDK\Samples\C++\Direct3D\MultiAnimation app. I've tried to follow what they've done in the example…but it's a bit too hectic…surely there must be a simpler, easier example to follow to get my model to animate. Please, if any one could direct me to a more simpler example related to animation and .X files uisng DirectX, I'd really appreciate it. I've looked on flipcode, gamedev.net, and a quite a few other game programming sites but with no success in finding what I'm looking for.

"Our recovery plan will invest in electronic health records and new technology that will reduce errors, bring down costs, ensure privacy and save lives."
- President Obama, Address to Joint Session of Congress, February 2009
As promised by the President, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 included under which, according to current estimates, as much as $27 billion over ten years will be expended to support adoption of electronic health records (EHRs). While there has been bipartisan support for EHR adoption for at least half a decade, this is the first substantial commitment of federal resources to support adoption and help providers identify the key functions that will support improved care delivery.
Under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), federal incentive payments will be available to doctors and hospitals when they adopt EHRs and demonstrate use in ways that can improve quality, safety and effectiveness of care. Eligible professionals can receive as much as $44,000 over a five-year period through Medicare. For Medicaid, eligible professionals can receive as much as $63,750 over six years. Medicaid providers can receive their first year's incentive payment for adopting, implementing and upgrading certified EHR technology but must demonstrate meaningful use in subsequent years in order to qualify for additional payments.
Since enactment of HITECH in February 2009, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and other HHS agencies have been laying the groundwork for the massive national investment in EHRs:
Why EHRs?
Electronic health records improve care by enabling functions that paper records cannot deliver:
Why "meaningful use" requirements?
EHRs do not achieve these benefits merely by transferring information from paper form into digital form. EHRs can only deliver their benefits when the information and the EHR are standardized and "structured" in uniform ways, just as ATMs depend on uniformly structured data. Therefore, the "meaningful use" approach requires identification of standards for EHR systems. These are contained in the ONC Standards and Certification regulation announced on July 13, 2010.
Similarly, EHRs cannot achieve their full potential if providers don't use the functions that deliver the most benefit – for example, exchanging information, and entering orders through the computer so that the "decision support" functions and other automated processes are activated. Therefore, the "meaningful use" approach requires that providers meet specified objectives in the use of EHRs, in order to qualify for the incentive payments. For example: basic information needs to be entered into the qualified EHR so that it exists in the "structured" format; information exchange needs to begin; security checks need to be routinely made; and medical orders need to be made using Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE). These requirements begin at lower levels in the first stage of meaningful use, and are expected to be phased in over five years. Some requirements are "core" needs, but providers are also given some choice in meeting additional criteria from a "menu set."
Identification of the "meaningful use" goals and standards is the keystone to successful national adoption of EHRs. The announcement of final "meaningful use" regulations on July 13, 2010, marks the launch of the Nation's push for EHR adoption and use.
Looking ahead
What is the timetable for approving the organizations that will certify EHR systems as qualifying for "meaningful use?"
How soon can we expect certified EHR systems to be available?
How will be the CMS EHR incentive program registration process work?
How will providers demonstrate that they have achieved the "meaningful use" objectives required by the regulation?
How and when will incentive payments be made?

I am 6 weeks pregnant and have no appetite, is this normal?
I can face fruit and that is about it. The thought of cooking, more the smell makes me feel really sick. I have nausea almost all day but it is worse in the evening. Has anyone else experienced this?

I am 6 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I have zero appetite. I'm not sick or anything, just have no desire to eat. I don't remember this happening the first time.posted 09/26/2008 by brianne131
Brianne131 - so glad you wrote that! I too am 6 almost 7 weeks pregnant and I do not have an appetite at all. I do not have any sickness or aversions to certain foods. I simply don't want to eat. I force myself to eat breakfast lunch and dinner. I'm glad there is someone else out there experiencing the same!posted 09/22/2011 by Jaylene75
I am 7 weeks and am going through the same thing. Fruit is about the only food that doesn't make me feel on the verge of vomiting. I told my doctor and he said to eat as well as I can, take the prenatal vitamins and make up for it in the second trimester when it is more important to eat nutritionally and my appetite should be back on track. The ironic thing is that the nausea is worse on an empty stomach but I feel sick if I eat more than a few bites of anything. Let me know if you come up with any tricks.posted 01/01/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
im going through the same thing to the point food, cooking, and any smell makes me sick. Im getting no support from my boyfriend he says just eat what ever we have and deal with the rest. i've been reading a lot on here and it seems to normal to feel this way. The most advice i got was to eat crackers and peanut butter. fruit and if you veggies. I was told it would go away after a few wks. lets see. best of luck to you.posted 01/30/2010 by kelly149
I am feeling the same thing but I'm over exhausted and very nauseous I have found that I can stomach food better in the evening .posted 08/05/2013 by Ayoabob
OMG! I am not CRAZY! I am on my second pregnancy, just about 4-5 weeks. I have not have any appetite late since a day before I found out I was pregnant. Ive always had stomach problems, but I got it under control. But boy, now I have no appetite. I do force myself. I take advantage of the times that I do get hungry and just eat. But then I have nausea after. My OBGYN prescribed me Zofran and OMG IT HELPS! You guys should look into that. However, some insurances only cover a certain amount of pills. Just an FYI! Good luck with everyone! :)posted 04/12/2013 by x0x0hs0kiilay
I am around 6 weeks pregnant and I have no appetite, whatsoever. The normal food that I used to eat, I can't eat it anymore. I have tried to eat fruit and although I can stomach it, I have to force myself to eat. I tried to eat Porridge this morning with sliced Bananas, but I have no desire to eat it. I ate maybe 4 or 5 spoonfuls and pushed it to the side.posted 01/14/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

My mission is to teach the essential components of 'movement that facilitates learning' to children with neurological challenges and the adults in their lives. Through these lessons, families learn new ways for their child to access movement potentials that enhance intellect, creativity, and pleasure.
As a certified practitioner of Feldenkrais® and the Anat Baniel Method for ChildrenSM I guide children verbally and with my hands to help them feel directions of movement that are currently easy for them. Children combine these movement potentials with their intention as they follow their own curiosity and reach to learn.
Video Link: Healing Quest – From 'global brain damage' to 2 Master's degrees
Parents – Elders – Professionals
One of the necessities of youth is continued learning. Using a variety of specific movement sequences, I teach movement options that help to keep the body and the brain supple and responsive. These lessons are structured to enhance the learning processes in the areas that are essential to health, vitality and sensuality. Parents learn, by experiencing movement lessons themselves, how to help further their child's learning in gentle, playful and productive ways.
My Philosophy
". . . The body reflects attitudes of the mind, improve the body and you must improve the mind."
Moshe Feldenkrais
In my work over the past 25 years, I have found that two primary abilities are present for physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Just Being
To let go of unnecessary muscular tension and to rest –
awake and present – supported by the floor.
Awareness in Motion
To apply present attention to all forms of movement –
thought, emotion, the breath or intention.
"When we know what we do, we do what we want." M. Feldenkrais
I work with the body, mind and spirit as an interrelated, interconnected whole. When I use Gestalt listening skills with Feldenkrais® or Anat Baniel Methodsm lessons, I am working with the dynamic relationship of the skills of Just Being and Awareness in Motion, contacting, supporting and empowering the myriad possibilities for growth and health in each person.
Move With Power and Grace
Artists, Musicians, Dancers
Explore and reconnect with your own elegance.
Regain the fluid and powerful movement that is your birthright.
These lessons are designed to change your self image by applying focused attention and precision to unique movement sequences.
This method makes "the impossible possible, the possible easy and the easy elegant"
Moshe Feldenkrais

Galloway residents bracing for Hurricane Sandy Monday morning were expecting the worst in certain areas, and recalled memories of storms that devastated the region in 1944 and 1963.
Resident Richard Price recalled the Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1944, and he and Anna Jezycki both remembered Hurricane Dora in 1964.
"In 1944, the whole boardwalk went (in Atlantic City)," Price said. "I was only six years old, but I remember telephone polls floating down Atlantic Avenue right into the bay. That was when the eye of the storm was right over Atlantic City."
Portions of the boardwalk on the northern end of Atlantic City have already been unofficially reported to have suffered major damage.
"I think this storm is going to be the equivalent of the 1944 storm," Price said.
He added he expected it to be bad in Atlantic City and the barrier islands, but that he expected Hurricane Sandy wouldn't have the same impact on Galloway.
"I'm taking it seriously, but I don't expect to lose trees like we did with the last storm," Price said, referring to the summer derecho.
Jezycki said the residents in her neighborhood are all keeping an eye on each other, particularly those who are unable to move or have sick relatives.
"There are about a dozen of us who are in constant contact," Jezycki said. "We taped our windows, we have pots of water all around, the patio is covered, we have oil lamps, the oil, the radio has batteries and we have a generator."
She added that many residents of Brigantine, which was given mandatory evacuation orders over the weekend, came to stay with family and friends in Galloway. Some residents from Pleasantville have also migrated into the township.
One of her friends sent her children to stay with family outside the township.
"Mostly everyone is set and we're ready to weather the storm," Jezycki said. "You never know what the storm will bring."
Jezycki spoke about the storm of 1964.
"I weathered a bad storm 40 years ago, and that was bad way back then," Jezycki said. "This sounds like it's going to be worse. … (In 1964), the windows were shaking. We had old windows back then, we had flooding. Our lawn looked like a pond, but fortunately, the water didn't get into the house."
That storm lasted one day. Hurricane Sandy is projected to last for a few days.
"It's not as slow moving as they're saying this one is going to be," Jezycki said. "This one will linger a little longer."
Jezycki weathered both storms in her house. The storm of 1964 knocked over a number of trees in her front yard, and they still have some very close to their Gail Lane home.
"Nobody is fooling around," Jezycki said, acknowledging that with the size of the storm, relocating was not an option.
"Where can we go?" she said. "Even if we go to a motel, if the power goes out, it's going to go out there, too. Everybody's in the same boat.
"We've done everything humanly possible. We're in God's hands now."
