Two Kinston High School graduates appear in rare Super Bowl trip with the New England Patriots in 1986.
One shot. One chance. That�s all you get.
If you�re lucky.
Being a football player and making a team in the National Football League is accomplishment enough. Being a member of a group of players who reach the Super Bowl is rarer still. Dan Marino, one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game, made it to and lost the Super Bowl in his second pro season. Surely, he�d be there again.
He wasn�t.
Two Kinston High School graduates were good enough and lucky enough to make it to Super Bowl XX, both playing for the New England Patriots. The game was a high-point of their careers, and for the 1980s Patriots. It was also about much more than what happened between the goal lines of the Louisiana Superdome on Jan. 26, 1986.
The Patriots drafted tight end Lin Dawson out of N.C. State with the 212nd pick of the 1981 NFL Draft. They took offensive guard Ron Wooten out of UNC two rounds earlier, at No. 157. By the 1985 season, they were seasoned veterans in the prime of their careers.
To get to New Orleans that year, the Pats had to do it the hard way. They got in the playoffs as a wild card team and had to go on the road to beat the New York Jets, the Los Angeles Raiders and then the Miami Dolphins in the AFC Championship Game.
The hype
After the last win, the rhythm and routine that served the team well was interrupted. How players and organizations respond to the build-up to the Super Bowl can impact what happens on the field.
�There are more distractions, many more requests for interviews,� Wooten said. �You�re in a town with tons of fans, and family traveling, and they expect and deserve more of your time, so there are more distractions than usual. But, with the professionalism of the coaching staff and players, I don�t think many teams get lost in that hype and take their eye of the ball.�
But if it�s the first time in the big game for a particular set of coaches and players, adjustments have to be made on the fly.
�Of course, it�s a euphoric time, because most of the world is watching,� Dawson said. �You get phone calls from not only your relatives, but people you haven�t talked to for years that find a way to contact you through the football organization. You find out very quickly that the marketing giants of the NFL kind of take over. And, for eight or nine days, you kind of lose sight of the fact that it is another football game.�
Dawson reflected that part of the problem was dealing with logistical necessities � training, practicing and sleeping in strange places. Bedouins in cleats and pads.
It can start to mess with a player�s focus.
�You start thinking about the Super Bowl versus the game, and there�s a difference,� Dawson said. �There�s a marked difference in thinking about a football game versus the Super Bowl.�
Wooten said the proliferation in sports media and player availability through social media brings an added pressure to athletes like this season�s Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, but pressure and an amount of outsized ballyhoo have been part and parcel of what makes the Super Bowl.
�In Super Bowl XX when we played, every interested sports fan in the world watches it � it�s the most expensive advertising of the year, it has the best ratings,� Wooten said. �Certainly, we were playing in a Super Bowl that had a very unique team � the Bears � with a national following and a lot of hype. So, there was an extra-special amount of hype and coverage.�
The game
The New England offense depended heavily on the run and time of possession, making both players key.
�We were strictly a running team,� Wooten said. �We didn�t have a lot of skill, or at least production, in the passing game, and coming from behind was a very difficult thing to do. We were beating teams with aggressive special teams play, a defense that got turnovers and an offense that possessed the ball and ran it.�
Dawson caught 39 balls for 427 yards and four touchdowns in 1984, and though passing production was down, he was expected to be an integral part of disrupting the Chicago Bears defense. A defense, coached by defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan and running his signature �46� scheme, considered to be one of the all-time best in the NFL.
�That defense was what you call the �46� defense � it�s different because they put a defensive back over the tight end and put a rushing linebacker on the outside,� Dawson said. �Our game plan was to use two tight ends to neutralize that 46 defense, which we believed was going to work.�
On the second play of the game, Bears running back Walter Payton fumbled at Chicago�s 19-yard line and the Patriots recovered. On New England�s first offensive play of the game, quarterback Tony Eason threw the ball to Dawson for what most accounts considered to be a would-be touchdown.
Dawson dropped the ball as his left patellar tendon ruptured.
He�d torn the tendon against the Jets and played most of the game. Dawson scored a touchdown against the Raiders before he had to come out of the contest, and even played significant minutes against the Dolphins until he had to head to the bench.
Dawson and the medical staff agreed the tendon could be repaired after the season was over. He said he regrets taking the painkiller injection and going into the game � once the tendon blew, �our game plan kind of went out the window at that point.�
After being tied at three points a piece, two scores off Patriots fumbles and two solid drives by the Bears put Chicago up 23-3 going into halftime. When New England didn�t turn the ball over, the team couldn�t complete enough passes with Eason or Steve Grogan, while the Bears bottled up running back Craig James.
The Patriots gained yards on only four of 21 plays in the first half, putting up minus-19 yards of offense. Once Chicago went 96 yards on the second possession of the second half to go up 30-3, the Pats went into a state of high anxiety.
Wooten said that element of a team�s psyche is what makes pro football different than baseball or basketball, which closes the season with a best-of-seven series.
�In football, it�s one game, and things start going badly against you, you almost have a sense of desperation setting in,� Wooten said. �And I would call it panic. Where, �Look, this is getting away from us.� Unfortunately, we know that if you react with panic to any situation, you�re not going to be happy with the outcome. I think that happened to a lot of AFC teams down in that period of time � certainly the Patriots. We were ill-equipped to come from behind against teams.�
Indeed, the 46-10 shellacking New England got was not unusual during the NFC�s 13-0 run from Super Bowl XIX to Super Bowl XXXI. AFC teams lost by an average of nearly three touchdowns � only the four-point win by the 49ers over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl XXIII and one-point classic victory by the New York Giants over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV stand as outliers.
In the days immediately following the Super Bowl, the Boston Globe ran a series of stories by sportswriter Ron Borges detailing a pattern of drug use among Patriots players, especially cocaine use. Wooten admitted that 90 percent of what went on that season never made it into the media. But, what did turned that offseason into his �worst nightmare.�
Wooten said he and other players were aware some of their teammates had serious problems and it was harming their performance. Dawson said he didn�t believe the allegations of cocaine abuse. But both credit head coach Raymond Berry with holding the team together when distrust between players and New England�s management and ownership was at its highest.
�We dealt with it mainly because of the leadership of our coach,� Wooten said. �Raymond Berry recognized the problems with recreational drug abuse. Marijuana, cocaine, other things were a distraction. And alcohol, to be honest with you. He took it upon himself to get programs and counseling for players that they had identified had this problem before it all came out.
�So, he was trying to deal with it proactively, because there was recognition that it was a problem. His sincere love and respect for these individuals and his desire to help them � it was more of that, combined with their focus as athletes.�
Dawson looked at an offseason and full regular season that he would need to rehab his knee instead of be on the field. And going into the 1986 campaign, a fortunate break was hard to find.
�After (the stories broke), there was a lack of trust on our team. It got pretty bad,� Dawson said. �There were guys who wanted to be traded, and we came back the next year. Raymond Berry, being the leader he is, pulled us back together. Then we had four of our defensive starters go down in preseason. � I know we lost four players for the season, and things kind of went into the tubes.�
Out of adversity emerged a division champion. New England went 11-5 and won the AFC East. Dawson was able to get himself healthy without being rushed back on the field. What got the Patriots through the �85 playoffs came back into effect.
�When you�re a guy like me, where at any organization I�m with, that becomes an important part of my life,� Wooten said. �We had a lot of players like that who acted the same way � �This is our team, we have a lot of respect for our coaches and the owners, we don�t need to cash this in and not stay together and achieve.� We were able to do that.�
Dawson said the bond between the players of those seasons still lasts.
�The issue is going from a high to an ultimate low. There�s no real reward for losing the Super Bowl. And, you become close to those players,� Dawson said. �By the way, when we got together for our 20th reunion, Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots � he�s won, what, three Super Bowls and been to six � said that our team, our group of guys from �85-�86, were still the closest of any team that he�s had. It really impacted us.�
Looking back, looking ahead
Tonight, Ravens linebacker and future member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Ray Lewis will play his last game. Wooten was on the same line Hall of Fame offensive guard John Hannah, who closed out his career in Super Bowl XX.
�There was nobody more focused on winning than John,� said Wooten, who like Dawson was an inaugural selection for the Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame in 2004. �That, sort of, was infused in players who were still there and left behind. What I expect Ray Lewis will leave for the Ravens will carry through for several years. His intensity and focus and commitment will carry forward. That�s how John�s impact carried forward.�
And for some of the players in Super Bowl XLVII who never make it back, what�s special just might be who are in the stands to see them.
�The great thing was � Coach Coley Little was my mentor,� Dawson said of the 2012 Kinston/Lenoir County Sports Hall of Fame inductee and legendary Kinston youth coach. �He�s been my mentor for as long as I can remember. And being able to bring him to the Super Bowl. That was a joy to me. Those little things like that � being able to bring him to watch me play in the biggest game of the world. It wasn�t a reward, but it was a small token. That, to me, was something.
�Second, just seeing all the families together for the first time. Seeing grandmothers, and people who would never come to a regular game. My mother was able to come to New Orleans and see me play in the Super Bowl. Those were great, great stories.�

Four things to do along the Great Taste Trail
In a little seaside village in the heart of the Nelson/Tasman province is a cycle trail with something special - a ferry service dedicated to cyclists.
1 / 5
The cycle trail is called the Great Taste Trail and the ferry provides the transport across a narrow channel, departing from the old wharf in the village of Mapua and linking two sections of the trail. The Mapua Wharf is a must-visit destination, where old wharf buildings now house galleries, shops, cafes, restaurants and even a brewery. This was once the bustling heart of the apple industry and apples are still grown on the sunny slopes around the Mapua area, with the port of Nelson their point of departure.
The Gentle Cycling Company is situated 5 minutes from Nelson Airport and offers bike hire and tours on the Great Taste Trail - it is a flat 22 km (13.5 miles) ride on the off-road trail to the ferry landing. Cyclists follow the trail markers along a route that includes estuary wetlands, boardwalks, beach front and pine forest.
Here are our recommendations for places to visit when cycling this route:
Coolstore Gallery, Mapua Wharf
The Nelson/Tasman area is known for its visual art and this gallery is one of the best, having a great selection of local work. The range of work on sale here includes painting, ceramics, contemporary fibre and a big selection of contemporary jewellery.
Golden Bear Brewery, Mapua Wharf
Nelson is the Craft Brewing Capital of NZ and this brewery is one of many in the region. Not only do they brew their craft beers using local ingredients, but they serve Mexican food too. And it's a great place to chill out in the sun.
The Smokehouse, Mapua Wharf
Tucked away on the old wharf, just next to the ferry landing, is The Smokehouse. Here you can pick up some smoked fish and maybe some hot chips to have with it. There are picnic tables on the wharf, so this makes a great place to stop and chat to the locals while enjoying some delicious fresh seafood
Seifried Estate Winery
Situated approximately 2 km off the trail, Seifried Estate makes a great detour for those looking to sample some local wine and food. The Seifried family were among the first of the current generation of winemakers in the Nelson area. Their range includes Chardonnays, Rieslings, Sauvignon Blancs and Pinot Noirs as well as some delicious desert wines. And there is a café here too.

text: The yields on busted mortgage bonds are alluring, but be careful. By Jeffrey R. Kosnett, Senior Editor April 30, 2009 Ben Kyle, a retired professor of chemical engineering at Kansas State University, asks a question that you, too, may have pondered. He wants to know how he can profit from the Treasury Department's plan to transfer up to $1 trillion of "toxic" bank assets into the hands of investors, small and large. The assets represent mortgage-backed securities for both commercial and residential properties as well as other loans and derivatives that have lost an enormous amount of value, causing big losses at banks and playing a crucial role in triggering the financial crisis.Optimists think these distressed assets will recover much of their lost value if two things happen: One, the nation's financial sector stabilizes and eventually climbs out of the hole. Two, the government creates a workable, liquid market in which the public can buy and sell the assets at fair prices. The government intends to be a 50-50 partner with private investors in the plan, known as the Public-Private Investment Program, or PPIP. If all goes swimmingly, the assets could leap in value from the 15 cents on the dollar that experts estimate the worst of them are worth today to perhaps 30 cents to 60 cents on the dollar. RELATED LINKS These Funds Can Be Hazardous to Your Wealth Betting Against the Bank Rescue Plan You can deride those who want to invest in this stuff as madcap speculators, but the annals of banking and real estate are full of people who got rich by buying distressed assets and waiting and waiting. And because the U.S. Treasury will be your partner, perhaps the risks aren't as great as they seem at first glance. Having Uncle Sam as a partner is one reason Ben Kyle is tempted. His thought is to invest $10,000 (the most he's willing to risk) in a toxic-asset-owning mutual fund in the hope that he can earn 10% a year. "I would be relying on someone's judgment or expertise here," Kyle says. The practicalities. Kyle and the rest of us get our chance soon. The Obama administration wants "retail investors," or ordinary people, to be eligible for the PPIP. By the middle of May, the Treasury will appoint at least five, and possibly more, investment firms as qualified PPIP Fund Managers. We're talking about firms like BlackRock, which says it has applied; Pimco, which declines to say; and Eaton Vance, which didn't respond to a request for information. The managers will almost certainly be familiar names because the Treasury is requiring that they have at least $10 billion of assets under management and experience handling distressed assets. Advertisement The products they offer won't be ordinary mutual funds with daily pricing and the ability to get your money out the next day. Instead, the funds will allow investors to withdraw money periodically, with the specifics probably up to their sponsors. They will be long-only -- that is, the funds will not be permitted to sell the assets short in a bet that their prices will fall even further -- and they will be asked to predominantly follow a buy-and-hold strategy. You may have read about the PPIP as "government subsidized." That's not quite accurate. The Treasury intends to invest $1 for every $1 raised from private investors. It may then add some borrowed money to create a leveraged investment. The Treasury will be like every other investor in that it hopes to earn a profit when the value of the assets increases. In theory, such gains would reduce the ultimate cost to the taxpayers of the multiple bank rescue efforts. The U.S. also stands to gain if the PPIP strengthens the banks enough to boost the value of all the preferred stock the government now owns and has been unwilling to shed so far. The government's basic motivation is clear. What about yours? Is a toxic-asset fund appropriate for your IRA or 401(k) plan? Will it serve as a counter to other high-risk investments, such as emerging-markets bonds or leveraged closed-end real estate funds? Douglas Elliott, a banking scholar at the Brookings Institution, in Washington, D.C., says that if he were putting these assets on the pyramid of risk, "they would be significantly riskier than most junk-bond funds." The funds that own them will have to issue "a ton of disclosure" so that the government won't be on the defensive if ordinary investors lose money. Advertisement Given this assessment, the 10% annual return that Ben Kyle is aiming for seems too modest. After all, you can get more than 8% from triple-B-rated bonds, the lowest investment-grade category, and 15% or so from a typical junk-bond fund. In a good year, junk is capable of returning 30%. The fact is, there isn't a good precedent with which to compare the PPIP. Elliott says the PPIP differs from the government's ultimately successful plan from the 1980s to resell seized assets from insolvent savings and loan associations. The s&ls mostly held secured mortgages, land and real estate, as well as a few odd assets, such as restaurants and fruit farms. Most of their holdings were tangible and fairly easy to appraise. Busted mortgage securities and derivatives are not so simple. No one trusts Wall Street's ability to evaluate this stuff, and there's no liquid market right now anyway. Liquidity and pricing are the real risks, says Rob Arnott, president of Research Affiliates, an investment firm. He thinks fund managers will do their best to explain the assets and the risks, but he wonders about competing with and sharing earnings with the government. To attract better managers, the government has so far agreed not to limit what the investment firms can pay their people. Another issue is sure to be how you will be able to get your money out. The closest approximation to these funds, as currently described, looks like leveraged real estate limited partnerships. Rather than being able to sell your partnership units on the open market, you may be able to redeem them only through their sponsor-and only once a month or once a quarter, at that. The Treasury, in fact, wants to see whether the investment firms can come up with "innovative proposals" to accommodate individual investors. One possibility would be to establish one set of withdrawal rules for institutions and another, more-liberal set for individuals. Advertisement There's no question that PPIP investments will be risky. Will the funds be operating on a level playing field? In April, Neil Barofsky, the government's watchdog for the bank bailouts, warned in a report that the PPIP seems to be tailor-made for waste and fraud. Barofsky's report implied that because money managers have been known to engage in front-running and to favor certain customers, they might be tempted to pull similar stunts here. But the Treasury will be the biggest investor of all in the PPIP, by tens of billions. I can't imagine the government engaging in such shenanigans, and I expect Uncle Sam to keep a close eye on his private partners. The bigger issue is whether there is any reason to think mortgage bonds and defaulted loans worth one-fourth of their original value can rally enough to make the risks of these funds worth your while. There is also a chance that some banks will decide to keep most of their distressed portfolios, reducing your opportunity to make a windfall. So don't put a dime into any PPIP fund that you can't afford to lose or see locked up for at least three years. Show comments

"We will definitely use Mount Face Nepal again! If word of mouth could be captured, I can tell you that I've told everyone I know about how wonderful Mount Face Nepal is and how great my experience was."
I simply told Mount Face Nepal that I'd like a great vacation that was top notch and we got that and more. They arranged everything from transportation, hotel rooms, activities, dinner options and packages for our vacation that we didn't even know existed.
I used to be a "do it yourself" travel planner. Now I know better. Now I use Amir to make all my travel plans for business and for family getaways. The value I've received has been tremendous. Better still, the peace of mind of knowing I have his experience behind me to help anticipate those challenges that used to go along with travel. As a result, I enjoy travel so much more. In closing, if you are not traveling with Mount Face Nepal, you are traveling without a net!

Brandon Marshall's accidental naked locker room tweet
Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall had an envelope from his alma mater waiting in his locker when he arrived to practice on Wednesday morning.
"What a nice treat this morning waiting for me at my locker. What can it be?"
(Crosses fingers. Please be a pony, please be a pony.)
Notice Marshall's care in covering up the address on the package. He's clearly done this Twitter thing before and knows how to maintain privacy when sending messages to his 752,000 followers.
The treat turned out to be a t-shirt and shorts bearing the logo of his alma mater, Central Florida. Not a bad haul for a Wednesday morning, though it's no pony. (Eric Berry: "Phew!")
Minutes later, Marshall tweeted a photo of himself wearing the new gear, along with the excited message: "Like a kid in the candy store. Look what was in my package."
You can choose to blame Marshall for tweeting the photo. It's his account and what goes out is ultimately his responsibility. I, however, choose to blame whoever took the picture. Marshall is blissfully unaware of the unintentional and nude photobombing. His back is to the guy. Whoever took the photo had the full moon right in the viewfinder.
Marshall quickly took down the tweet and posted an apology.
"Sorry about my guy in the back getting dressed in that photo."
The naked Bear remains unidentified.

Wow, sad day for gamers. Gargy Gygax passed away.
He was Dungeons and Dragons daddy and spawned such classics as Tomb of Horrors and Expedition to the Barrier Peaks and of course Temple of Elemental Evil...
Here is a link to GameSpy's 30th anniversary ad&d retrospective including interviews with Gygax and lots of history.

The Mozilla Mobile project has published two new user interface prototypes: one that is designed for use on touchscreen devices and one that is intended for devices with button input. The interfaces are, unsurprisingly, quite minimalistic.
The developers used XUL to start creating the prototypes, and partially functional versions are currently available for download. I tested the interface prototype that is designed for a touch screen interface. There isn't much to it yet, but what they have so far is passable. The implementation leverages the page scaling capabilities in Gecko 1.9 to make the content fit the screen.
Additional information about the prototypes has been published on the Mozilla wiki. Some features planned for development include a tab switching system that displays page thumbnails, and a URL completion system that works like the Firefox 3 AwesomeBar. In a blog entry, Mozilla mobile developer Doug Turner discusses the new prototypes, and encourages users to get involved and share their ideas. Turner also mentions that the Mozilla Mobile developers aim to leverage the Firefox Places system and the experimental Weave framework.
When Mozilla first announced its new mobile initiative last year, I pointed out that Firefox will have to compete with slimmer mobile browsing options like Opera and WebKit. The flexibility of XUL could provide Firefox with an advantage in the mobile space if the developers can lower the overhead and make it less resource-intensive. Much work remains to be done under the hood, but these early user interface prototypes are a nice start.

Sridevi feels honoured and humbled by Padma Shri award
Actress Sridevi, who has been chosen for Padma Shri award this year, says she feels humbled to receive the honour.
"I am honoured and humbled by the recognition. I would like to thank my fans for all the love and support they have given me," she said in a statement today.
Sridevi made her comeback after a gap of 15 years with 'English Vinglish', which released in October last year. The film, directed by debutante Gauri Shinde, saw the versatile actor playing the role of a simple housewife and her aspiration and struggle to learn English.
The 49-year-old has worked in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi cinema.
Sridevi entered cinema as a child artiste in Tamil film 'Kandan Karunai' in 1967. She came to Bollywood first as a child artiste in 1975 with 'Julie' and her first adult role was in 'Solva Sawan'.
Thereafter, there was no looking back for Sridevi. She gave memorable performances in films like 'Sadma', 'Mr India', 'Chandni', 'Chaalbaaz', 'Lamhe', 'Khuda Gawah' and 'Judaai', among others.

LONDON (AP) ― She wore everything from a crystal-studded lobster to a tall ship made of feathers on her head, and chose a purple medieval robe for her wedding dress. Long before Lady Gaga rose to fame, British fashion editor and stylist Isabella Blow made theatrical clothes and outlandish headgear her personal trademark.
A major exhibition opens in London Wednesday to celebrate the life and style of Blow, who is best known for discovering British designers Alexander McQueen and Philip Treacy when they were young students and promoting them as they rose to international acclaim.
Eccentric, flamboyant and witty, Blow was editor at Tatler and other magazines, muse to designers and one of the most influential personalities in fashion before she committed suicide by drinking weed-killer in 2007. She was 48.
"Isabella Blow was a champion of creative talent. So much that we know today would never have happened without her vision, and her support of British fashion and creativity was unique," said Louise Wilson, a professor at Central Saint Martins college who taught McQueen and many other designers.
The show at Somerset House features Blow's personal collection of more than 100 rare designer items, including many of Treacy's most dramatic hats and some of McQueen's earliest designs.
Blow met McQueen at his graduate fashion show in 1992, and famously bought up his entire collection. She commissioned headdresses for her wedding from Treacy when he was still a student. She wore their designs everywhere, and used her network to promote both men.
Four years later McQueen dedicated a collection ― his first to receive international acclaim ― in tribute to her. In the same year, she also styled a successful show for Treacy.
Treacy went on to work for Chanel and became Britain's best-known milliner, while McQueen achieved further fame and success ― until he, like Blow, lost his battle with depression and took his own life in 2010.
The exhibition traced Blow's early life and her aristocratic background, which curator Alistair O'Neill said was key to her appeal and success.
"She traded on her family history and her Britishness," he said. "She was this attractive, artistic figure. She had no money, but lots of stories and lots of style."
Blow's life was full of glamorous anecdotes ― she was said to have cleaned Vogue editor Anna Wintour's desk with Perrier and Chanel No. 5 perfume when she worked as her assistant ― but for years she struggled with depression and other personal problems.
Blow used to say that her bizarre headgear was used as armor to protect herself and hide her face from the world, and indeed many of the hats featured at the show obscure most of the wearer's face.
"Gaga also identified with that," O'Neill said. "But Detmar Blow (Isabella's husband) said that while Lady Gaga wore her stage costumes, Isabella never took hers off."
"Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore!" runs until March 2.

Just wanted to post a minor correction to the Winter 2012 CA Modern article "Decor at the core". A photo caption is incorrect, though the article text about my house is accurate.
On page 14 there are 3 photos of the interior of my house. The caption reads "Barry and Rosemary Brisco found original 1960s Hans Wenger chairs for their living room and a 1949 Wenger table and chairs for the dining room."
First, the furniture designers name is spelled "Wegner" (the "w" is pronounced like a "v", by the way).
Of the two styles of chairs shown in the photo, only the one on the left is "original" or "vintage". It is a 1960 "Papa Bear" chair, designed by Wegner, and purchased new by my parents. The other style of chair in the photo, the pair on the right, is a "Shell" chair that Wegner designed in 1963 but was never put into mass production. In 1997 Hansen & Sons began producing it.
My dining table is not a Wegner design. While Wegner primarily designed chairs, he did design a few tables (though none in 1949 as far as I know) but I do not own any.
My dining room chairs, which are known as the "Wishbone chair" style, were designed by Wegner in 1949 but mine are modern reproductions, they are not vintage.
Minor inaccuracies that in no way detract from an otherwise excellent article, and yet another excellent issue!

Fresh from five days in Barbados earlier this year, tight end Vernon Davis dominated Wednesday's practice catching at least six passes from a combination of Shaun Hill and Alex Smith during last week's OTA practices. Now entering his fourth season and with an offensive coordinator who likes to highlight the tight end, Davis has the best opportunity yet to realize his sixth overall selection potential.
"He (new offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye) told me the tight end is the focal point," Davis said Wednesday. "I'm looking forward it. He said he wants to get his playmakers involved."
Davis has a year of frustration to unleash after his minimized role last season in Mike Martz's offense. He went from 52 passes in 2007 to 31 last year, despite Martz's declaration in training camp that he was making a special play list just for Davis. Either Martz couldn't break his habit of having a receiver-dominated offense, or Davis never caught onto Martz's system. Either way, Davis said he spent some time in Mike Singletary's office pining for more opportunities.
"It was real frustrating," Davis said. "I thought when you pick a guy with the sixth pick (in the 2006 draft) that you pick him to make plays. So my thing, was I was just trying to be patient."
Raye's development of Kansas City tight end and former Cal star Tony Gonzalez is a highlight in Raye's resume.
"I talked to Tony all the time," Davis said. "He said Jimmy would take of me and make sure I would get the ball and stuff like that. I'm just looking forward to the opportunity."
If Davis is going to be an elite tight end, this will have to be his year, not only because of Raye but because he's showing the maturity to handle the responsibility of becoming a major piece of the offense. On Wednesday for example, linebacker Mark Washington ran down Davis from behind and tried to deck him during the non-contact team drills. The Davis of early days would have tried to punch Washington in the throat. Instead, Davis calmly walked back to the huddle while coaches admonished Washington.
"I don't have time for fighting," Davis said. "If it's during a game, that might be different. But out here, I got to concentrate on what I'm doing."
Despite learning a new offense, Davis said he's comfortable with Raye's scheme and it looked like it in the week of practices. In fact, the 49ers gave him the day off Thursday after he dominated on Wednesday.
Davis also said he tried to get the higher ups to take a hard look at his little brother Vontae, one of the top cornerbacks to come out of this year's draft. In light of Walt Harris's season-ending and perhaps career-ending knee injury, it would have been a good idea.
"He's going to be great," Davis beamed with brotherly pride. "Press coverage? Forget it. He'll kill it." Davis said he has trouble getting off of his younger bro's press coverage. Vontae was selected 25th overall by Bill Parcells' Dolphins, despite his prima donna rep. The younger Davis was demoted by Illinois coach Ron Zook for goofing off in practice.
On second thought, maybe two Davises on one one team is one too many.

Your library account information is confidential.
The staff of Cary Memorial Library respects every patron's right to privacy and supports patron confidentiality as stated in the Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 78, Section 7. As free and democratic institutions, libraries must protect the individual's right to have his or her reading patterns or reference questions remain a private matter. The practical ramifications of such a policy often mean that a staff member responding to an inquiry concerning a family member's or another person's reserves or circulation records is prohibited from sharing those records.
How does this affect your library visit? Please read on for frequently-asked questions concerning privacy and confidentiality issues.
Q: Can my spouse/friend/neighbor/family member pick up my reserve materials for me?
A: Yes, if you have given your library card to them.
Q: Can you tell me what items are out or overdue on the card of my child (aged 10 years or younger)?
A: Yes, if you have the child's library card.
Q: Can you tell me what items are out or overdue on the card of my child (aged 11 or older)?
A: No, but we will be happy to mail a list of those items to the card holder.
Q: If I forget my library card, can I still pick up my reserved book?
A: Yes, if you bring in some other form of identification.
Q: If my dad gives me his card and asks me to call the library to find out if there is a book on hold for him, would the library staff tell me?
A: If you have his card, we can tell you only that the book is here.
Q: If my neighbor gives me her library card and asks me to find out what books she has that are overdue, would the library staff do that for her and tell me?
A: No, but we can renew those books for her, unless one of them is on reserve for another patron, or we can mail a copy of her library record to her. We can also accept payment from you on her behalf and then mail her a receipt.
Q: Last week I requested three books for my son. We used his card, I think, but I stopped by today and all I have is my card. Can I pick up his books?
A: The books must be picked up using the card under which they were reserved.
Q: The email address in my library card record is not right, but I can't remember what our email address is. Could you check my husband's card and tell me what it is?
A: We are sorry, but the information in his patron record is confidential, but we can send out a test email to verify that the address you have given us is correct.

If you can't handle the heat...
After my day at Per Se, Berg texted me: "If you can't handle the heat you can come back to the farm." Ah, Berg. Always good at handing me a dose of reality. Honestly, I was ready to get back. Our trip to NY had left me with stars in my eyes - we'd eaten at Craft, visited the Food & Wine offices to chat with Kate Krader and Kristin Donnelly, who wrote a great blog post about it, and spent the day (and night) at Per Se. An oyster farmer can only handle so much. My first day back, we were on the move once again. The float came back to land (if you can remember waaaay back, it's been on the water since April.).
Now we're anchored next to the dock by the Maritime School which means we're hooked up to electricity and running water and we're within spitting distance of the bathroom. (Hooray!) We like our new little nook. When the tide's high, we can see over the wall that shields the dock from most high winds and waves and during low tide, like the epic drainer we had last night, it feels like we're hidden away from the rest of the world. Nice little place to be for the winter.
We celebrated our first week with a few swigs of Harpoon from a growler Skip brought down. We used our sustainable ice bucket just for the occasion.
We've been lucky to have a mild fall and early winter so far. There are rumblings that this might be a "less-than average" year for snowfall - here's hoping that's true (though, Skip admitted that the oysters do like the cold for a little while).
And believe it or not, we're nearly done with seed! I'm sure I sound like a broken record - we wanted to have it all planted by the end of October. But we depend on good weather and the tides to get access to the lease and neither have been on our side this fall. But Skip and Berg planted more of it yesterday and we're hoping to get the final cages emptied and planted by next week. Once that's done, we can get our cages up to storage and call it a year. Just in time for Christmas.
As for me, my time on the farm is winding down - incredibly hard to believe. The plan is for me to come off the farm and start working in the office on January 1st. I know, I know - Erin, you're turning into a suit! (And conveniently, right in time for whatever cold snap we might get.) But that was my plan from the beginning and I'm sticking to it. I need to see how the company runs things from the other side. It's a missing piece on my farm-to-table path so I'm looking forward to learning a new aspect of it all.
Yes, the guys are giving me a hard time about it. They've even come up with a new name for when I call it quits on the farm: Part-Time Pain.
