By his own calculation, UConn associate coach George Blaney had been to 36 Final Fours before 2004. He sat on the board of the National Association of Basketball Coaches. That meant Blaney always had good seats.
That does not mean he didn't want to be standing.
"I'd be there, just looking down, trying to imagine what it was like to be on that floor," Blaney said. "I was jealous, to be honest with you. I wanted to feel it."
He would feel every bit of it that Saturday night in San Antonio. Seven years have passed and Blaney remembers it like it was seven minutes ago. He walked onto the Alamodome floor with coach Jim Calhoun before the semifinal against Duke and whoa …
"The crowd, everything, it got to me, there were tears in my eyes," Blaney said. "It was such an emotional feeling to reach the point every coach wants to reach."
He thanked Calhoun.
In 2009 when UConn got to the Final Four in Detroit, he thanked Calhoun again.
On Saturday, before UConn defeated Kentucky, George Blaney thanked Calhoun a third time.
"I felt it necessary to thank Jim for bringing me along for the ride," Blaney said. "And, lately, I've got to tell you, we've taken to calling it the magic carpet ride."
In the hours before and after UConn suffocated Butler 53-41 for its third national title in 13 years, much was made of Jim Calhoun, 68, becoming the oldest head coach to win an NCAA championship. Calhoun isn't the oldest coach on his staff. Make no mistake, George Blaney, born Nov. 12, 1939, in Jersey City, N.J., has seen plenty.
Starring at Holy Cross, playing briefly for the Knicks and 76ers, Blaney was a head coach for more than 30 years, 22 at Holy Cross before three at Seton Hall. To Blaney, Bob Cousy isn't an award Kemba Walker won. He's a compatriot. Among a select few, he is New England basketball.
At 71, he also is tranquil, unembroidered, not given to exaggeration. If you went to trial, you'd want Blaney as your witness. So accept the next few paragraphs as a voice of sobriety.
"I don't think you can overestimate what has taken place," Blaney said of this UConn season and its 28-day tournament run from Manhattan to Houston. "It's so far beyond belief in my mind."
And on Calhoun becoming only the fifth coach in history to win three national titles?
"Even before Connecticut got into the Big East, we — I'm talking the New England mafia basketball guys — always thought Connecticut was a sleeping giant."
Blaney chuckled.
"None of us ever envisioned it was this kind of a sleeping giant," he said. "No one but Jim Calhoun thought he could take it to this kind of heights."
Blaney talks about how good Calhoun is for him. Over a decade, he has been just as good for Calhoun. He has given Calhoun a confidante, a man of the same generation he can trust in the business of X's and O's and in the business of life. Blaney weathers storms. He rides the rough seas. An eruption by Calhoun? Blaney will wait for the lava to cool and ashes to clear.
It is one of the remarkable sights in UConn basketball, always telling, sometimes shocking, and occasionally a little comical. Something will go wrong during a game. Maybe somebody got lazy and didn't box out. Calhoun's temper will flare. He'll wheel around, turn to Blaney and yell about the indiscretion.
Blaney will sit there silently and nod.
More often than not, they both see the same thing. They know what the other is thinking. The difference is in the reaction. What makes a head coach a piercing needle can make the assistant a pin cushion.
"The biggest thing and the only thing I saw that was a change this year in Jim is that he really, really enjoyed this team," Blaney said. "I think it was a direct result of Kemba and Donnell Beverly taking a hold of the team like no one else since Caron Butler. It was a joyful team to coach."
Individually, Walker's season has to be the best in UConn history. In New England college history?
"From the guard position, he dominated games in all facets," Blaney said. "He dominated in scoring, passing. He dominated in stealing the ball and defense. He dominated in rebounding as a guard. On top of that, he dominated in leadership and attitude. He kept guys in the game, knew when to bark a little, when to nurture.
"I cannot think of anybody who has had a better season."
Blaney said the hardest task Calhoun faced was figuring out how and when to use seven freshmen.
"Five would play a ton and he had to intermingle them over a season and in the course of the game itself," Blaney said. "I marvel the way he handled Shabazz Napier. Jim's understanding of the pulse of the team, when to plug those young guys, was remarkable."
Not getting picked among 68 teams for the NCAA Tournament by Sports Illustrated in the preseason would be a source of motivation, a source Calhoun has invoked a number of times.
"That was the start of saying, 'OK, let's show somebody we're not that bad,'" Blaney said. "Every tournament we were in, we won. Maui was a great field. The Big East, five wins in five nights, we've gotten notes from two people we respect a great deal who called it the single greatest achievement in basketball history."
One was Howard Garfinkel, the Godfather of Five Star basketball. The other was Bob Knight.
Many in the national media would find superlatives for UConn's victory over Butler, too. Worst title game ever, etc. Still, you don't hold a team to 18.8 percent shooting, breaking a record set in 1941 — Blaney was 2, Calhoun wasn't born — without stellar defense.
"Looking at the tape, we pretty much contested every shot," Blaney said. "That's not something done very often. I think Butler was surprised by our length."
Blaney said the coaches always write things like he's 6-3, but he has 6-7 arms on scouting reports. It is a warning.
"If you have that kind of player, you have to be careful how you pass and shoot. Jeremy Lamb blocking [Shelvin] Mack's first shot was really important. I thought Alex Oriakhi had one of his great games. He competed like crazy. Roscoe [Smith] was all over the place, contesting …"
Blaney called Lamb's ability to cover Mack one-on-one "critical. And I thought Shabazz turned the game around by his pressure to start the second half. At halftime Jim said if we play faster and harder defensively, our offense will pick up. It did."
Like Calhoun, Blaney said he'll take a little time before he knows if he'll be back, then adds, "I hope to do it again."
"Jim is such a good friend to me. It's his show. It's not my show. We are somewhat two of a kind. We love to be in the gym, immersed in basketball. That's what he has allowed me to do. More than anything, he trusts me. That's the thing that has made it easy here. I can say things to him without being afraid he's going to get mad or whatever. Truth is, most of the time we agree on what we're trying to do."
And they can agree this ride was magic. And for that gift, Blaney has nothing to say but thank you.

Manchester school technology officials look to expand Bring Your Own Device programBy PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
September 22. 2013 9:58PM
MANCHESTER — The city's BYOD pilot program is ready to G-R-O-W.
School technology officials are expected to share with Board of School Committee members the results of the Webster Elementary School's Bring Your Own Device program for fourth- and fifth-grade students, and request that the program be expanded to include third-graders as well.
Tonight's meeting gets underway at 7 p.m. in City Hall, 1 City Hall Plaza.
The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) pilot program integrates technology with classroom instruction. Students can bring their devices from home to use at school. Devices include laptops, tablets, iPads, smartphones and other devices with Internet access. Throughout the program, students and teachers have tracked how the technology is used as an aid in the classroom, and will share that feedback with the school board tonight.
According to the district's BYOD policy, access to the SAU's wireless network is filtered in compliance with the Children's Internet Protection Act. Use of personal devices during the school day is at the discretion of teachers and staff. The primary use of the devices should be for educational purposes, and not disrupt classes.
The program was in place during the final four months of the 2012-2013 school year for fourth- and fifth-graders.
"I could not be more pleased with the results of our BYOD pilot," writes Christine Martin, Webster School principal, in a memo to Manchester School IT Director Jeff DeLangie. "Students would bring their personal computing devices to school and use them as a tool, a resource like any other resource in the classroom."
According to Martin, when students in the program arrived in their classrooms each morning, they placed their electronic devices in a central location, where a teacher could monitor their usage. During independent learning time, or as instructed by their teacher, students could access their devices as needed. Students who did not have these devices were invited to share with others, or use a device provided by the school.
Martin reports that 60 percent of fourth- and fifth- graders at Webster took part in the BYOD program. Students used their Internet devices to provide background information for topics in their reading or other content areas.
"Google Translator was a big hit in the EL classrooms, bridging the language gap between our English dominant students and newcomers," writes Martin.
Martin said no students in the program were referred to the main office for discipline associated with use of the devices.
"We believe we are ready and able to bring another grade of students into this tremendous project," writes Martin.
Members of the city's Information Technology Committee voted unanimously on Sept. 10 to approve the continuation of the fourth- and fifth-grade pilot BYOD program, and expanding it to include third-grade classrooms this school year.

MANTECA - The Sierra boys basketball team extended its winning streak to 12 games and remained atop the Valley Oak League with a win over Kimball on Wednesday.
MANTECA - The Sierra boys basketball team extended its winning streak to 12 games and remained atop the Valley Oak League with a win over Kimball on Wednesday.
The Timberwolves were led by Guillermo Nunez, who scored a game-high 23 points, and Eric Melgar, who had 14 points and three steals, in their 62-44 win.
Devante Baisa had 14 points for Kimball (10-11, 2-6 VOL).
Sierra (18-3, 8-0) has won 22 consecutive league games dating to last season. On Wednesday, the Timberwolves shut down the only league team to score more than 47 points against them this season.
"We wanted to hold them to under 47 points, but we didn't do a very good job in the first half," said Sierra coach Scott Thomason, whose team led 31-27 at halftime. "Our pressure in the second half was better, and that freed us up in transition."
Sierra converted six Kimball turnovers in the third quarter into several layups and open 3-point shots. A rare four-point play by Melgar was part of a 17-6 run to start the quarter, breaking the game open.
"Before the game I was shooting good, so I had a lot of confidence," Melgar said. "I felt that four-point play got the team going on a streak."
Kimball coach Joe Lawrence said his team did its best to rotate on the perimeter to limit the damage by Nunez and Melgar.
"We tried to shut them down," Lawrence said, "but (Sierra) did a good job of getting them open shots."
The Jaguars shot 46 percent from the field but misfired on 12 of their 14 3-point attempts. Sierra shot 48 percent from the floor and was 5 of 15 from beyond the arc.

DALLAS (AP) — An exhibit featuring presidential photographs is set to open at Dallas' Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza.
The exhibit opening Sunday showcases the work of photographers from The Associated Press.

KEEP THE NEW ATTITUDE - Defend universities against stingy Legislature
Source: Palm Beach Post
The Board of Governors that oversees Florida's public university system has been going along to get along but faces no more significant challenge than now. Gov. Bush and the Legislature were contemptuous of the board even when Tallahassee wasn't financially strapped.
Comes now a major state budget shortage, on top of the university system's $120 million enrollment financing shortfall since 2004, plus new Gov. Crist's recent veto of a 5 percent tuition increase.
That explains the correct stand the board has taken: suing to establish tuition at a level at least above subsistence. Florida has the nation's lowest resident tuition because no one has challenged lawmakers' authority to set it. Not surprisingly, the university system also has the nation's next-to-worst student-to-faculty ratios. Yet Gov. Crist vetoed an increase that would have cost students $55 per semester while providing more of the teachers and classes they need to graduate.
A big question when the board meets today and Thursday in Tallahassee is whether it moves forward on its own tuition plans or again defers to lawmakers. After all, the pending lawsuit that the board joined was initiated by former Gov. Bob Graham and other citizens. It took a similar lawsuit led by Gov. Graham and a 2002 constitutional amendment to create the board, after Gov. Bush and the Legislature abolished the Board of Regents.
Dean Colson's appointment as the governor's special adviser on higher education might be spun as giving Gov. Crist time to formulate a realistic policy. In the meantime, the 4-percent-to-10-percent statewide budget cuts proposed for the upcoming special session would translate to an additional $100 million to $232 million lost from the university system's $2.3-billion operating budget.
Board of Governors Chairwoman Carolyn Roberts was right to question how $80 million in taxpayer money for a new institute at private University of Miami can be exempt from cuts while public universities are freezing hiring, courses and enrollment. The board was right to affirm its constitutional authority to ensure adequate financing of the university system. UM, where Mr. Colson is chairman of the board of trustees, is in House Speaker Marco Rubio's district.
Ms. Roberts' colleagues might join her in asking them and Gov. Crist to be part of the solution students deserve.

Topeka, KS – The controversy surrounding the potential state record deer and its entry into the Monster Buck Contest has officially come to an end on the heels of the KDWPT's announcement of the filing of criminal charges against the person who killed the animal.
Brian D. Smith the founder and President of the Monster Buck Classic We Are Kansas event that recently held its inaugural event in Topeka announced today that the potential state record typical deer that was entered in the Monster Buck Contest as the King of Kansas Typical has been disqualified from the contest and a new King of Kansas Typical has been named.
"KDWPT has in fact charged David Kent with 8 crimes in connection with the illegal harvest of the 198 7/8 inch potential state record deer that he brought and entered in the contest," Smith said. "Due to the criminal charges being filed, we are disqualifying Mr. Kent from the Monster Buck Contest and officially naming Rachelle Karl and her 182 1/8 inch net whitetail as the new King of Kansas Typical.
"It's a real shame this world class animal was taken illegally. It saddens us as an organization. As an event that promotes and supports the great sport of Kansas deer hunting and its conservation we do not condone this kind of illegal activity. We are proud to have been a big part of bringing this crime to light. I would like to commend the KDWPT for their swift movement in this case and the cordial way they handled the situation at our event. Hats off to the officers involved and their investigative work."

US beats France 4-2 at ice hockey worlds
HELSINKI (AP) — The United States beat France 4-2 Saturday for its fourth win at the ice hockey world championships.
Finland overtook the group lead from the Americans with a 7-2 win over Austria, but has a game more played, meaning the U.S. can clinch the top seed for the quarterfinals if it wins its last two round-robin matches against Germany and Slovakia.
"It would be great to finish No. 1, it would show we have accomplished something, but we have two tough games left," U.S. head coach Joe Sacco said.
Stephen Gionta and Bobby Butler gave the Americans a 2-0 lead in the first period, and captain Paul Stastny and David Moss added goals in the third.
"I try to be consistent with the lines, not shuffle around much," Sacco said. "I'd like to count on guys to take pressure off other lines. Like when Bobby Butler scored a big goal at the end of the first period on a nice play by Drew (LeBlanc)."
Kevin Hecquefeuille made it 2-1 for France in the second period and Yorick Treille added a late goal.
American goaltender Ben Bishop had 15 saves, including a couple of key stops to keep his team ahead early in the third. Cristobal Huet had 32 saves for France.
In Stockholm, group leader Switzerland beat Denmark 4-1, and Sweden shut out last-place Slovenia 2-0.
Finland took a 3-0 lead against Austria over the first two periods. The Austrians scored two quick goals at the start of the third before Finland responded with four unanswered goals. Veli-Matti Savinainen had two goals for Finland while Petri Kontiola scored his sixth of the tournament.
In Stockholm, Switzerland got goals from Luca Cunti, Ryan Gardner, Reto Suri and Nino Niederreiter.
The Swiss haveo 14 points from five games, one ahead of Canada.
Sweden outshot Slovenia 40-21 but had to be content with goals by Gabriel Landeskog in the first period and Fredrik Pettersson on a power play in the third. Twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin have yet to join up with the team after the Vancouver Canucks were knocked out of the NHL playoffs.

Abigail's disappearance nears one-month markBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
November 07. 2013 8:03PM
CONWAY — It has now been a month since Abigail Hernandez sent her last text message, a heart symbol, to her boyfriend as she walked home from school.
The 15-year-old Kennett High School freshman, known for her cheery personality, love of her pink iPhone, and heavy presence on Facebook, has not been seen or heard from since just before 3 p.m. Oct. 9. Her phone has stopped working; her Facebook page is idle.
After 30 days of an intense law enforcement search, which included as many as 100 FBI agents and scores of state police and fish and game officers along with town police, there is little to report, said FBI Agent Kieran Ramsey, who has been leading the FBI's side of the investigation.
There have been more than 1,000 tips, and investigators are asking for more because there are no hard leads, and no suspects.
"Nothing new," Ramsey said. "Believe me, we'd come right out and tell everyone if we had something to report." Investigators and volunteers are not giving up.
"We still have a very active investigation ongoing, even today," Ramsey said late Thursday afternoon.
"Our biggest hope is that she surfaces somewhere and she is reunited with her family. That is our goal, to bring her home to her family," he said.
Last Sunday night, more than 3,200 Facebook users joined an online vigil for Abigail, posting her photo and information on their profile pages. The organizer of that event, Paul Kirsch, will use the Abigail search website, www.bringabbyhome.com, to ask those who participated to join another event.
"I'm asking people to make sure that they post once about Abby on Saturday afternoon to acknowledge the one-month anniversary of her disappearance," Kirsch said.
Family members want Abby home.
"These are difficult times, but we have faith and hope," Zenya Hernandez, Abigail's mother, said.
Anyone with information is asked to call 1-800-CALL-FBI or the Conway Police at (603) 356-5715.

Look up pictures of Arequipa, Peru and you're bound to see El Misti volcano towering somewhere in the background. Although the neighboring Chachani volcano is taller, El Misti is the most iconic. The moment clients step off the plane in Arequipa and see that single cone-shaped peak dominating the skyline, they will understand why.
While discussing which volcano would be best to climb, a fellow teacher I worked with at an English institute in Arequipa told me, "I feel like El Misti is staring at me as much as I'm staring at her." With a few weeks left in Peru and enough time to hike only one mountain, I knew it had to be El Misti.
My friends and I planned a weekend trek and shopped around at the tour agencies in Arequipa for the best package. Since we were going to be hiking in July, which is in the height of winter in Peru, we needed snow jackets and pants, sleeping bags and tents — all of which you can find at just about every tour company that offers volcano treks.
On a Saturday, we arrived at the tour office, loaded up our gear and set off in a Jeep. At about 10 a.m., our group started hiking from the base of El Misti. Aside from having to schlep our heavy packs, the first leg of the hike was easygoing. The weather was mild and the incline gradual. After an hour or so, I put on my gloves, a scarf and a chullo (an Andean beanie with earflaps made from alpaca wool). As we got higher, it got even colder, and our breaks became more frequent as we adjusted to the altitude.
We made it to base camp around 4 p.m., where we set up our tents and ate dinner before going to bed at 6 p.m. in preparation for our midnight wakeup call. Make sure your tour operator provides a high-grade sleeping bag, especially if your clients are hiking in the winter.
Our start time went from midnight to 1 a.m. as we roused ourselves out of our tents and resumed our climb. About an hour into the hike, a woman in our group succumbed to altitude sickness. As one of our guides accompanied her and her boyfriend back to base camp, I briefly considered joining them. Although I wasn't feeling sick, the altitude made every step difficult as each breath provided less and less oxygen. I am not the athletic type, but I found that this didn't really matter. My friends — the rugby player and the gym enthusiast — struggled equally to press on at such a high altitude. While clients should be fit enough for the hike and prepared for the cold weather, the altitude is certainly the most physically demanding aspect of the climb.
We continued hiking through sunrise, which provided a stunning view of Arequipa with the mountain's surreal triangular shadow stretching over the city. After trudging on for a few more hours, we stopped just short of the summit to attach crampons to our boots before crossing the snowy slope to the top.
With icy winds pounding our faces, we pushed through the last stretch and sat down on the rocks for a break. From the summit, you can hike another hour or two to the cross at the peak. The crater, on the other hand, is just over a small slope a short walk away. Exhausted from the journey, we opted to just see the crater. We took pictures at the crater's edge, where we could see and smell sulfuric steam rising from the active volcano.
The hike back down is considerably shorter and can be done by late afternoon on the second day. Having a good guide here is key, as hikers make their way down the snowy slope instead of following the rocky trail up the mountain. Tread carefully, wear crampons and listen to the guides to avoid slipping on any packed snow.
Once back at base camp, we packed our bags and headed down to the bottom of the mountain to meet our driver. We were back in town by 6 p.m., where we shed our hiking boots and warmed our toes, satisfied that we had conquered El Misti.
Fast FactsEl Misti elevation: 19,100 feet
Busy season: April to September
Hiking time to the summit:11-14 hours
Hiking time to the bottom: 4-6 hours
Other volcanos around Arequipa: Chachani (19,800 feet), Picchu Picchu (18,500 feet)
What to wear: Hiking boots, winter apparel. Tour operators will provide snow pants, jackets, boots, crampons, gloves, headlamps and hiking poles.
What to bring: Large bottles of water, snacks (such as chocolate and nuts). Tents, packs and sleeping bags/mats can be rented from the tour company.
Avoiding altitude sickness: Chew coca leaves (which can be bought at any market), drink plenty of water and pace yourself while hiking. There is also preventative medicine available at pharmacies in town.

It's not an uncommon practice for governments looking to pay for big projects. Orlando's Amway Center has a $40 million deal to keep its name on the building.
Volusia County has plenty of experience naming rooms and buildings. It has its Thomas C. Kelly Administration Building in DeLand, home of the recently dubbed Frank T. Bruno Jr. County Council Chambers. It has parks named after a Realtor, an attorney, a city councilman and two lifeguards.
What it doesn't have, yet, is any revenue from naming rights.
That could be about to change — if there are corporate sponsors out there willing to pay.
Some Volusia officials are increasingly interested in selling naming rights for public facilities from trails to parks to the Ocean Center. If the idea becomes a reality, it would represent a departure from the way the county names its projects today — for free, in honor of people who were involved in the community.
"I just know that when government cuts its revenues, there are opportunities out there that maybe we should take advantage of," Councilwoman Pat Northey said recently. "We might end up deciding it's not worth it. For years, I wasn't a particularly big supporter of sponsorships, but we're looking for revenues now, and I'm kind of changing my mind."
Northey, known for her support of building and connecting public trails throughout Volusia, said she was thinking of sponsored trailheads when she warmed up to the idea. Then she went to the Amway Center for an Orlando Magic game early this week, and broadened her thinking.
Could the Ocean Center use a corporate sponsor? "While some years ago, I would not have entertained any such idea, my thinking is evolving," Northey said. "Not sure what I would do if an offer came our way, but I would not discount it out of hand. I would listen to it."
"That would be the one I would start with," Councilman Josh Wagner said of the county-built and -operated convention center in the center of Daytona Beach's tourist zone. Wagner said he's been promoting sponsorships "for years without gaining much traction" from past council members.
"I am in full support of public facility sponsors," he said. "It is a good example of government acting like a business. We owe it to the taxpayers to maximize their investments in our community."
It's not an uncommon practice for governments looking to pay for big projects. The nearby Amway Center, owned by the city of Orlando, is a prominent example: Amway has a 10-year, $40 million deal to keep its name on the building, which opened in 2010. The arena itself, including the land it sits on, cost about $480 million.
Last year, in Virginia, the legislature passed a law allowing the state to sell naming rights on its bridges and roads, according to USA Today. "Shortly thereafter," according to the newspaper, "the state signed a $2 million yearly deal granting GEICO Insurance naming rights to all 43 of its rest areas."
The Ocean Center, which underwent a roughly $82 million expansion in 2008, would attract a much smaller deal than Amway's. Smaller still would be the various county parks, ball fields and ecotourism facilities that could have sponsorships attached in the future.
For Councilman Pat Patterson, those types of deals are more attractive than the ceremonial naming-buildings-after-people practice Volusia employs today.
"If the check's big enough, and the check clears the bank, let's go for it, Bubba," Patterson said. "Even if we were rolling in the dough, I'd still go for it. It wouldn't make any difference if we had a ton of money or no money — let's do it."
The county isn't entirely new to relationships with corporate partners. Coca-Cola used to be the soft drink of Volusia County, and provided vending machines with the county logo. Volusia used the revenue to hold some small special events, but it meant no Pepsi products allowed.
The Beach Patrol has had sponsors in the past, too — Hawaiian Tropic used to have its logo on lifeguards' swimsuits.
"That was more utilitarian," though, Northey said. "I'm talking more about capital projects ... If somebody has a foundation and they want to give me $100,000 for something, I think I'd probably consider it."
The idea is still just an idea. How much the county stands to earn remains to be estimated. In Montgomery County, Md., another place where officials are proposing sponsorships, a planning board report cited research showing "other parks, county and municipal agencies nationally generate anywhere between $100,000 and $1.6 million annually."
In Volusia, $1 million a year in naming rights would cover the annual shortfall facing Votran, the county's public transportation system.
"If it's a corporate sponsorship, and it's not a permanent kind of thing — like naming rights for five years, I'm agreeable to that. That's the corporate Republican side of me," Patterson joked.

Tell Your Senator To Oppose Nominating Guy Who Hates Product Safety As Head Of Product Safety
Eight consumers groups have united to oppose the nomination of Michael Baroody for the head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Baroody is the executive vice president of the National Association of Manufacturers, which has consistently worked to undermine the very efforts of the organization Bush knighted Baroody to helm.
While Baroody worked at NAM, they:
• Opposed a CPSC proposal to improve safety standards for baby walkers. Instead, NAM blamed parents for improperly supervising their children;
• Opposed a petition from consumer organizations to improve the way the consumers find out about recalls of potentially dangerous children's products;
• Supported diluting guidelines companies used to determine whether they must report substantial product hazards; and
• Urged New York Governor George Pataki to veto legislation that mandated fire safe cigarettes
Concerned consumers should write their Senator and ask for thumbs down during Baroody's confirmation hearing, tentatively scheduled for May 3rd. — BEN POPKEN

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick spoke following Friday night's victory over Carolina.
Thank you, Patriots media relations department:
August 22, 2014
BB: OK, I thought we took another step in our preparation here tonight. There were certainly some positive things out there; still a lot of things we need to work on. Hopefully we can string together another good week on the practice field and in the meetings and take advantage of our next preseason opportunity to do as much as we can to be ready for the regular season. I thought guys played with good effort tonight and we had a good week that led up to that. So, those things were all positives but we have a long way to go. We still have a lot of stuff we need to work on; left a lot of plays out there on the field that we need to clean up.
Q: When you put Ryan Mallett in in the first quarter, how important is it for a guy like that to show he's prepared to go in at any moment in the game?
BB: Well, it's a situation that a quarterback could be in. That's our opportunity to do it, so we did it.
Q: Was there any thought to playing Ryan in the second half or have you seen enough from him this preseason?
BB: We do what we think is best for the team.
Q: What did you like about this week of preparation as you guys kind of changed the pace a little bit?
BB: I thought the players adjusted to it. We've been practicing against the team that we were going to play for three days so it's pretty easy to prepare because you've just seen them out there every day, you see their plays, you see their personnel, you see their snap count, their cadence, their disguises on coverages. All those things, you get to see them. Now we've got to see those ourselves, get ourselves ready. It's just a different process. I thought the team did a pretty good job of that. Again, there's still a lot of things we could do better but I thought we made a decent transition to it.
Q: Was it good to get that challenge in just to get that practice as a coach?
BB: Yeah, it was great.
Q: Keeping Cam Newton off the scoreboard when he was in – you don't expect to throw zeroes in at this time but how important was it to keep him out of the end zone when he was out there?
BB: Well, I think what's important is to try to play good team defense. I thought there was some good examples of that when we had coverage and rush and they were tied together. We did a decent job in the running game, did a decent job of tackling. They have some real good skill players – backs, receivers that can run with the ball, returners. So, those things are all good. I don't think that – this isn't a big strategy type of game or that type of thing. It's just about fundamentals and execution. There was some good things. There are a lot of things we need to work on. I'm sure they weren't running all the plays they had either so I wouldn't make too much of it.
Q: To have the situation right before half with a 60-yard field goal attempt, what kind of value does it give you to evaluate the special teams in a long attempt like that?
BB: Steve [Gostkowski] has kicked a lot for us. We had a little wind there. We felt like if we normally get the ball around the 35, he's in range. But at the end of a half or in that situation in the end of the half with a little bit of wind, I felt like the 40-yard line or close to the 40-yard line would get it for us. It was like the 42 or something like that. It was a great kick. It was a good situation for us. I think it really visually now gives our offense as clear of a picture as they could possibly have of where we need to get to, how much a couple extra yards means in that situation and hopefully we can make those kicks when we get in the regular season.
Q: What about the play that Julian Edelman made right before the kick to catch the ball over the middle and race out of bounds?
BB: I don't know. He kind of bobbled the ball. I think if he would have gotten up field, we would have had time to go up and clock the ball. I think we were 15, 16 seconds, whatever it was. It seemed like every time there was a timeout, they put more time back up on the clock. I don't really understand all that but I think if he had gotten up field we would have had time to go clock the ball. Once he started running sideways, if he hadn't gotten out of bounds then I'm not sure we would have had time to clock the ball. I think there's a lot of good coaching that we can all learn from on that play – the way it happened and the way it could have happened and so forth. We'll learn from all aspects of it and when we watch that play, we'll be on the defensive side of it and talk about if that was us on defense, what we would want to do, how we would want to play that situation. Like a lot of things in this game, there's a lot of good learning opportunities, a lot of good coaching points that come up and that's what we'll just try to do is keep learning from it.
Q: Did Jamie Collins have more on his plate this game with the communication device?
BB: Definitely. I feel like Jamie's done a real good job of that, taking control of the huddle. High [Dont'a Hightower] has done it; Jerod [Mayo] of course has done it. Then we've had other guys do it after those players were out. It was a good opportunity. Jamie has had several opportunities in camp to do it but did a good job of it tonight. I think it's good experience for those players to different guys handle the communication and see a, how much that kind of affects the rest of their play and also gives them better – more familiarity I should say – with the calls and what Matt [Patricia] is calling into the defense so even when they're not calling it, they're probably a little more aware of what the calls are.
Q: So they at least know what the guy with the dot on is going through?
BB: Right. A lot of times, you're in the huddle, you, in a perfect world you hear every single word that's said, but sometimes you only hear part of the call and maybe you assume what the rest of it is and sometimes that's right and sometimes it could be wrong. But if you know the game plan then you would know for sure what the rest of the call is, even if you didn't hear all of it. I think it just gives them more of an awareness.
Q: Can you talk about Chandler Jones transition into more of an outside linebacker spot?
BB: Chandler's worked really hard at whatever we've asked him to do since he's been here. Last year, he also played some inside over the guard. He's played outside over the tackle or the tight end, up, down. He's a versatile player and he's very conscientious to try to do whatever we ask him to do and playing in all those different spots. He's a very athletic player with good length, good playing strength so he has a lot of versatility athletically, he has a lot of versatility mentally. He's tried to work on the techniques at those positions and that just gives our defense more flexibility. We'll see how it all goes from game to game or during the season but he's definitely shown the ability to play multiple spots and play them productively.
Q: It's a preseason game but the Panthers were a playoff team last year. Do you take that into account at all?
BB: No. No, there's no game planning, there's no formationing or game planning plays and situations and those time of things. That's not really what this game is about. I don't think that's what it was about for them; it's not what it was about for us. I think if that's the way you want to judge it, I think you're making a big mistake. I think it's a game about fundamentals. It's about basic football and it's not anything close to a regular-season game in terms of game planning and situational football and doing strategically the things that you would do. I'm not saying the players don't play hard and they don't compete at a high level. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying the strategy and the game planning and the amount of attacking your opponent is, I mean we're just playing too many people to do that. We have 90 guys out there, we can't game plan for 90 guys, we can barely get it right when we have 46. It's just not what this game is. That's not what we're trying to get out of it and I don't think that's what Carolina is trying to get out of it. What we got out of it is fundamentals, playing against a lot of good football players and playing a lot of basic football. That was great and that's what we need. I don't think this is the time to out-X and O everybody in a preseason game, third preseason game with players in some cases who have never even played in the NFL before. I just don't think that's what this game is for, for our team.
Q: What did you see from Shane Vereen tonight?
BB: Shane's had a good camp. He's been out there every day. He's getting better at all the things that he needs to do at his position: running the ball, pass patterns, catching the ball, blitz pickup, formationing. I think he made a couple real good plays today. The touchdown was a good awareness play on the goal line. Tom [Brady] got him the ball, he outflanked the coverage, he was able to turn up and make a real good play to get the ball to pylon. I thought that his blitz pickup and overall running ability throughout the course of camp has shown up repeatedly in a positive way. Shane works hard. He's a very dependable guy and he does a good job for us.

Wages of Gold. Job of Sulfur.
And there, unto hell, shall be the sinner cast! Sin,
Duke Nukem 3D's bastard child, was a disappointment to most people. It
had some good level design and great concepts, but was bogged down severely
by boring weapons, a host of bugs, and a somewhat boring look and feel. It looked
especially disappointing when compared to its contender at the time, Half-Life.
Even before Sin was released, Activision had announced that it would
publish Sin Mission Pack: Wages of Sin. While it's a consistent continuation
of Sin, it's not an angel that would carry it up to gaming heaven.
Created by 2015 Studios, Wages of Sin picks up right where Sin left off. Just a few days later, a mean 'n nasty mobster is intent on causing some serious mal-pleasantness and has kidnapped a Sin Tek scientist to help him do just that. There is now a new source of U4 production . . . bad, very bad. John R. Blade, the dreadlocks sporting badass from Sin's Hardcorps, must, naturally, kick ass and take names over the course of 17 missions. All this to preserve the public health and give you all a way to waste your afternoons when you could be working.
To help you obliterate your enemies, there are now a few new weapons: a concussion cannon, dual pistols, a flame thrower, a plasma bow, a guided rocket, a stinger pack, and the IP36 Nuclear Explosive Device. On the whole, the new weapons are very satisfying, adding a lot more variety and punch to the fairly placid, boring weapons that bogged down Sin.
You get to use these wonderfully expressive toys against a host of new enemies. From chest exploding mutants, to attack dogs, to Mafia hoods . . . they're all here. The monsters are well varied near the beginning, with Blade having to face mutants and humans of all colors and shades. As the levels progress, though, the enemies tend to degenerate from those possessing recombinant DNA to only those possessing Italian DNA, which is a bit of a let down. To spice things up, there are a few mini bosses at certain levels, but that's to be expected.
As far as the levels go, they are at least as good, if not better, than those found in the original Sin. The architecture is varied, the puzzles are creative (a few computer puzzles are too creative), and the environments differ greatly from one level to another. Near the beginning, the levels tend to feel very urban, subterranean, and similar to one another in terms of graphics. Fortunately, they do get much more interesting as the game goes on. On the whole, the levels fit very well with the original Sin; stalwarts of the game will not be disappointed.
Aside from the weapons, plot, new monsters, and levels, 2015 also created the Hoverbike. The Hoverbike is similar to the vehicles in the original Sin except that this one moves much faster, corners better, and comes with built-in lethal toys. It's great fun, especially in its own special deathmatch mode.
One thing that can be said about Wages of Sin is that it is perhaps much closer to the original intended release of Sin than Sin ever was. It is polished, virtually bug free, sparkling of genius, and, at its core, supplies some satisfying hard core projectile flying action. As an add-on, Wages of Sin is great. Unfortunately, was Sin ever that good to begin with? I found it to get stale quickly and almost tediously repetitive as time went on, lacking both the sharpness and polish of games like Half-Life, which took the Quake 2 engine to new untold highs. Wages of Sin is still good, but it expands on that flawed base, like a rose growing from soil that was not blessed with Miracle Grow (Ed note: We hope Johnny was financially compensated for this obvious plug.). If you liked Sin, buy this. If not . . . well, you probably aren't reading this anyway and should take up bowling or something while you wait around for Half-Life 2.

The last time we featured the art of Nick Carver was in 2008, when the dude was looking for a job. Today, he seems to be doin' OK, as he's a senior artist at Blizzard.
Having spent over five years at Free Radical, later Crytek UK, Carver has been at Blizzard since 2009, where he's been working on the company's top secret successor to World of Warcraft, the MMO known only as Project Titan.
While that project obviously remains locked behind closed doors, Nick's other works are just wonderful.
If you're wondering where all these post-steampunk (note: not a real term) images come from, the majority of images below are from a personal project of his set in the alternate early 20th-century city of Dustrum, which is being made into a book and which looks amazing. (Update: Ah, it's called dieselpunk, thanks!)
You can see more of Nick's work at his personal site (thanks CAW!).
To see the larger pics in all their glory (or so you can save them as wallpaper), right-click on them below and select "open in new tab".
Fine Art is a celebration of the work of video game artists, showcasing the best of both their professional and personal portfolios. If you're in the business and have some concept, environment or character art you'd like to share, drop us a line!

Wilmington firefighters run ads for better pay
Wilmington firefighters run ads for better pay
Firefighters in Wilmington are going to the public as they seek better pay and benefits.
The StarNews of Wilmington reports the Wilmington Professional Firefighters Association is running ads on several electronic billboards around the city.
One of the ads has picture of a firefighter with the legend: "Risking our lives for $9.63 an hr."
Another, with a firefighter climbing a ladder, asks "Why are we at the bottom of the pay ladder?"
Wilmington human resources director Jeanne Sexton told a budget meeting last week about the low pay for public safety workers.
Sexton said city salaried and hourly employees are paid about 9 percent below comparable markets overall. But she says starting firefighters earn 21 percent below the market rate.

The Los Angeles City Council agreed to place a half-cent sales tax hike on the March 5 ballot to avert new cuts in city services, drawing immediate opposition from critics in and outside city government.
Voters would decide the measure, which will boost collections by an estimated $215 million a year, on the same day they choose a new mayor. And there were signs the proposal already is influencing the race, which is expected to focus heavily on resolving the city's chronic budget crisis.
Mayoral candidates Jan Perry and Eric Garcetti, both council members, voted against the tax plan Tuesday. City Controller Wendy Greuel, another top mayoral contender, said she also opposed the tax hike, which would apply to millions of everyday transactions, as well as major purchases such as electronics and appliances.
The proposal also came under attack from former Mayor Richard Riordan, a Republican multimillionaire who is promoting his own ballot measure to roll back pension benefits. He accused City Hall leaders of foisting bloated employee retirement costs on consumers.

SEC Chief's Exit Opens Void
Banks, Investors Fear Regulatory Limbo; For Schapiro, Victories and Controversy
When Mary Schapiro took over as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2009, the agency was reeling from its failure to spot Bernard Madoff's yearslong fraud and the collapse of some of the investment banks it oversaw.
Ms. Schapiro, who said Monday that she would step down after four turbulent years, helped restore the agency's reputation and ensure its survival. But she also leaves behind a string of pressing regulatory issues—such as the so-called Volcker rule restricting proprietary trading at banks—that...

In adults, the most common foods to cause allergic reactions include: shellfish such as shrimp, lobster, and crab; peanuts, a legume that is one of the chief foods to cause severe anaphylaxis, a sudden drop in blood pressure that can be fatal if not treated quickly; tree nuts such as walnuts; and fish.
In children, the pattern is somewhat different. The most common food allergens that cause problems in children are eggs, milk, peanuts, soy, and wheat. Adults usually do not lose their allergies, but children can sometimes outgrow them. Children are more likely to outgrow allergies to milk, egg, or soy allergies to peanuts, fish, or shrimp.
The foods that adults or children react to are those foods they eat often. In Japan, for example, rice allergy is more frequent. In Scandinavia, codfish allergy is more common.
If someone has a life-threatening reaction to a certain food, the doctor will counsel the patient to avoid similar foods that might trigger this reaction. For example, if someone has a history of allergy to shrimp, testing may show that the person is not only allergic to shrimp but also to crab, and lobster. This is called cross-reactivity.
Another interesting example of cross-reactivity occurs in people who are highly sensitive to ragweed. During ragweed pollination season, these people sometimes find that when they try to eat melons, particularly cantaloupe, they have itching in their mouth and they simply cannot eat the melon. Similarly, people who have severe birch pollen allergy also may react to apples. This is called the "oral allergy syndrome."
At least one situation may require more than the simple ingestion of a food allergen to provoke a reaction: exercise-induced food allergy. People who experience this reaction eat a specific food before exercising. As they exercise and their body temperature goes up, they begin to itch, get light-headed, and soon have allergic reactions such as hives or even anaphylaxis. The cure for exercised-induced food allergy is to neat for a couple of hours before exercising, and to avoid exercising alone in case you need medical attention.

Video of me dictating an audio file to Google:
Heelys Launch Skate Shoe Toddler/Little Kid/Big Kid Black Multi Hearts lHXBxiyp
I use Dragon Naturally Speaking voice recognition software a lot (Actually Dragon for Mac, but have used the PC version too). Dragonwas a game changer for my workflow, and I did not expect that. Check amazon for up-to-date pricing. Home version on Amazon, Professional version on Amazon , and Mac professional version I have not used the home edition so I cannot say why it costs less.
There are four ways I have used Dragon software.How to transcribe with Dragon, Method #1 – Train it to your own voice:
Dictate your own story, emails or other documents using your voice. This is the software's real strength since it is set up for you to "train the Dragon." You read stories and it gets smarter by adapting to your own speech patterns and accent.Another amazing feature is running documents you have written and sent emails through it. This teaches the software phrases and acronyms you commonly use. Once I took the time to configure Dragon and learn the voice commands ("Go to sleep" or "Scratch that"), I have found Dragon Dictate to be very accurate in dictating my speech faster than I can type (85 words-per-minute type test speed). It becomes more efficient if you combinereal-time keyboard and mouse alongwith voice commands. I did not believeI would like it as much as I do, but now I use Dragon to dictate emails and other documents.
One note is that I like using a headset or my podcast grade Blue Yetti microphone that sits closer to my mouth. Although the internal mic on my Mac is pretty good, it still strains my voice after a while if I try to speak loud enough.
There is some learning curve in setup and becoming good at dictation through use of commands, but the payoff for me has been real.Howto transcribe with Dragon, Method #2 Dictate on the fly:
The second way to use Dragon is to dictate into a digital recorder or the app. Then you can upload files to be processed by the software. The principle is the same as real-time dictation except there is no ability to make corrections and combine keystrokes. This means it is not as accurate, but portability is essential sometime.
It is possible to create a profile for different speakers and to upload an audio file into the software for processing. This method is a lot less accurate and there will be no punctuation. Because of these limitations, if I need a clean transcription it takes more time to clean up Dragon's work as to just transcribe it in the first place, especially if the interviewee has an accent or the audio sounds far away.
However, if I am doing a large number of interviews and only need the basic gist, I run all the audio filesthrough Dragon as I go. This gives me enough reference to be of use later. (I have found that if I spend just a few minutes editing major words, it improves the ability to search keywords later.) So when I am working on writing a full life history or memoir, with many details from interviews I may want to revisit later, Dragon's rough-cut accomplishes that. After I return from an interview, I run the audio file through Dragon, usually starting before I go to bed since it takes a while to process. In the morning, I paste thenew transcription into a master Word document. Later, when I am in the thick of writing, I can search by keyword and find related conversations and refresh my memory on details. Here are Dragon's settings:
In 1962 New Mexico State Records Center and Archives administrator Joseph F. Halpin initiated new inquiries about acquiring the land grant records still being held by BLM in Santa Fe. In a devastating letter reminiscent of Putman's harangue a half century earlier, Wayne G. Grove, Archivist of the United States, rejected New Mexico's request. Grove concluded that although these records had been created during the Spanish and Mexican periods of New Mexico's history, they had been acquired by the federal government and organized for the purpose of dealing with international obligations imposed by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. The records therefore had "little or no organic relationship" to New Mexico's extant Spanish and Mexican archives. Grove suggested that instead of trying to acquire the documents themselves, the Commission should acquire a copy of the University of New Mexico microfilm. [53]
Fortunately for New Mexico, the mechanism needed to accomplish the transfer of the land grant records from the BLM office in Santa Fe to the Federal Records Center in Denver moved very slowly, and the records remained in Santa Fe. In 1971 BLM once again announced its intention to transfer the records to Denver, and officials of the New Mexico State Commission of Public Records again protested the impending transfer. They demanded that records of such "historical importance to the people of New Mexico" not be allowed to leave the state. [54]
This time, with the energetic assistance and cooperation of its Congressional delegation, New Mexico's request fell on more sympathetic ears. Citing a federal statute which allowed the National Archives to deposit accessioned records with public or educational institutions when it was in "the public interest" to do so, United States Archivist James B. Rhoads proposed to place the land grant records in the New Mexico State Records Center and Archives on permanent loan. [55]
On 5 January 1972, the commission concurred with Rhoads' proposal and unanimously agreed to accept custody of the land grant records.
Angelina Womens All Weather Outdoor Urban LaceUp Ankle Bootie Nude i8R913nDW
On 18 February 1972, the BLM officially transferred custody of the documents to the National Archives. Less than a month later, at 10:00 A.M., 10 April 1972, BLM Director Burton W. Silcock, handed New Mexico Governor Bruce King the 1704 last will and testament of New Mexico Spanish Colonial Governor don Diego de Vargas. It was a symbolic gesture which completed the return of a significant portion of New Mexico's documentary patrimony and cultural legacy.

In addition to the documents removed from the Palace of the Governors by the surveyor general in 1855, this remarkable transfer included the records of the Office of the Surveyor General and the Court of Private Land Claims, which contain journals, correspondence, and the case files for specific land grant adjudications.Dr. Gary Peiffer
Through Holocaust education, I learned the value of tolerance and diversity... I learned that hope can be found in the darkest places, hope can be found even when all humanity seems to be lost. I also learnedthe importance of forgiveness and the power of education.

The contrast between the extermination camps and present-day Polish cities was quite thought-provoking...The opportunity to travel to Poland and visit sites that I have been studying for the greater part of my adult life was simply priceless. Walking the grounds of the Warsaw Ghetto, the Plaszow Labor Camp, and the death camps of Treblinka, Majdanek and Auschwitz-Birkenau brought home the brutality, despair and overwhelming sadness that permeated central and eastern Europe during the first half of the twentieth century. The juxtaposition of the architectural and cultural jewel of Krakow with Birkenau, the most murderous of the extermination camps, also forced me to grapple with how easily civilization can slide into barbarism.

Having Howard there, telling his story, allowed for us to more easily relate to the information. Howard made it real. Howard provided a look at the Holocaust that you can't get from books, pictures, video and primary sources. The personal connection is something that cannot be learned in the classroom.

When I went on this trip, I had been teaching about the Holocaust for 20 years. I had already visited Dachau and Mauthausen, so I assumed that this would be a seminar that would give me a few more facts to add to my lesson and some photos to put into my presentations. I had no idea how wrong I was – so many parts of the trip had a profound impact on me.

I never considered how much MORE of an experience this would be – educationally, spiritually, personally...I did not realize that I would form incredible friendships and bonds with people from different cities, backgrounds, cultures, faiths, etc. Being able to participate in the memorials was something of a healing process, but it was also wonderful to be included in certain Jewish traditions. Everything came full circle.

The River Cut in Bracknell is a tributary of the mighty River Thames and is, typically for a heavily urbanised catchment, challenged in many ways. At least 3 sewage treatment works discharge along its course, and historically the channel was dredged and straightened at a time when this was considered necessary to avert flooding.
Add to this several large weirs which block fish migration, together with year-round run-off from roads and industrial estates, and the result is a river under pressure. But amazingly, wildlife still finds a way, and with a few simple improvements we can start to see it flourish, even in and around an urban centre like this.
The River Cut project site is adjacent to a public recreation centre run by Bracknell Town Council, which already hosts a range of amenities including tennis, mini-golf and basketball. Working with a public land owner is really advantageous, especially when they're as supportive and insightful as our hosts here. The council have long recognised the value of angling and nature as both an amenity and a therapy to the rigours of urban life, for adults and children alike.
One of the reasons the council was able to attract funding from a diverse range of sources is the high percentage of junior anglers registered with the recently formed Braybrooke Community Nature and Fishing Club. The club started out on a local pond and has juniors sitting alongside adults on the committee. Now the aim is to introduce members to the challenge of fishing on a flowing river. A successful application to the Angling Trust resulted in a grant from its Angling Improvement Fund which has allowed 10 fishing platforms to be built, 2 of which will soon have wheelchair access.
But the club didn't want to stop there. What if they could improve the river for fish and wildlife? Better habitat would bring more aquatic plants, insects, birds and of course fish. So next they applied to the Environment Agency's Fisheries Improvement Programme, which was set up for exactly this purpose. By matching the cash grant with labour, and keeping down costs by sourcing wood and brush locally, the partnership has started to transform this once neglected stream into a productive and accessible fishery for all.
As we thin out the tree canopy, light streams into the river and encourages aquatic plants to grow. Much of the river is over-wide and choked with silt, so by creating marginal berms (literally new bits of bank) with the harvested trees, we can make the river meander and increase the flow velocity in the channel. This in turn forces silt downstream, revealing clean gravel below.
Being sited on the edge of an urban centre brings inevitable challenges and this year the river has unfortunately been polluted on several occasions. But rather than being deterred, the partnership has taken this as a cue to engage the local public and business communities in an awareness campaign that is steadily gathering strength. Thames Water, which oversees the drainage network below Bracknell, has joined forces with the Environment Agency to investigate and send out a strong message to deter dumping of oil and chemicals into roadside drains.
As the threat of pollution now looks to be receding, l decided it was safe to boost the river's native stock of fish from our national fish-rearing facility in Calverton. So on Thursday 14 December 2017, we introduced around 2,000 juvenile chub, roach and dace to help ensure a brighter future for this remarkable little river.

The most successful wineries in this agricultural Italian state are working hard at home and abroad to make its reputation as a bulk wine producer ancient history.
Back in 2006, I was invited by the Italian Trade Commission to cover MiWine, a wine and spirits convention in Milan that included an "eno-tour" component to a specific wine production areas in Italy. I was originally signed up to tour the Lombardia region, and then was convinced to visit Calabria instead. However, as there were too many American journalists signed up to Calabria, I was switched out to Puglia.
Finding the Future in the Past
Beyond technical and environmental innovation, the representatives from the wineries and consortiums shared the view that the way to move Puglia's wines into the 21st century and higher worldwide esteem was to get back to its roots-but express those roots more effectively in and out of the bottle.
In marketing their wines in Italy, the U.S. and elsewhere, the wineries along with their importers and distributors have taken measures to get industry buyers on and off premise excited about trying their expressions of Negromaro, Primitivo, Nero de Troia and other varietals that help tell the story of a wine area whose production history dates back to the 6th century BCE.

At this year's Tokyo Game Show, there will be around 40 PS Vita games. Forty. And the machine isn't even out! Some of the games have already been revealed. Some haven't.
Leaks from this week's forthcoming issue of Japanese game magazine Famitsu shed light on some of the new titles. Here's a list of what's in the publication:
• Lumines: Electronic Symphony • Raymon Origins • Michael Jackson The Experience HD • Dark Quest • Sumioni • Dream Club Zero Portable • Moe Moe Daisensou • Ragnorak Odyssey
Lumines is one of my favourite PSP titles and a logical Vita title. Ubisoft is bringing both Rayman Origins and Michael Jackson The Experience to PS Vita. Dream Club Zero Portable looks to be a port of Xbox 360 hostess game Dream Club Zero, while Moe Moe Daisensou is this.
There's a Gameloft app called Dark Quest, but Ubisoft is publishing this title, so it could be a different Dark Quest.
Ragnorak, a hugely popular online title, is getting a PS Vita version, enabling gamers to hunt down big monsters with various character classes.
2D action title Sumioni from Tokyo-based studio Acquire looks to be one of the more interesting titles, like it was drawn with digital ink. The art style is one of the most arresting I've seen in a while, very Japanese, very beautiful. The game uses "brush touch action", so it could stir up fond Okami memories for players.

(AP) — Gov. Pat Quinn is naming a new chief of staff to replace Jack Lavin, who is resigning.
Quinn said Friday that Ryan Croke will be his top aide. Croke has been deputy chief of staff since November 2009.
Lavin has been Quinn's chief of staff since late 2010. Quinn's office says he is leaving for a job in the private sector.
Lavin led an agency under Quinn's predecessor — ousted ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
Lavin has known Quinn for 20 years and become chief operating officer when Quinn took office from Blagojevich.
Croke worked on public safety, economic development and government modernization projects.
The Wheeling native has a master's degree in communications and serves as co-chairman of the Employment for People with Disabilities Task Force.

It gives schools a kick-start in the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It also provides students with a strong basis in communication skills and valuable insights into other cultures.
Finally, it livens up the teaching process as teachers incorporate new ideas and methods into their classes and allow students to take a higher level of ownership in learning.
Although the Global Teenager Project initially started as a project designed just for high school students, the project has now been expanded and includes children of all abilities including Gifted & Talented and SEN.
Professional Development
The Global Teenager Project offers an online Learning Circle Methodology Course that addresses teachers and future teachers interested in developing solid understanding of the Learning Circle methodology in order to participate successfully with their students in Learning Circles. Once mastered the full depth of the Learning Circles, GTP offers a rich and dynamic international learning environment network where your students work and learn together with more than 20.000 students in 40+ countries. GTP brings the world in your classroom.
