I was looking at these over at http://www.altbricks.com and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this manufacturer and their products?
They're $10 for a pack of 200 so well under import duty costs if I pick up a couple of packs.
Also, what would be the best way to construct the wheels and chassis using such tracks?

In this Jan. 7, 1997 photo, House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia and his wife Marianne leave their home for Capitol Hill.
Updated Thursday at 1:15 p.m. ET
In excerpts of an interview scheduled to air on Thursday night, Marianne Gingrich claims that her ex-husband, Newt Gingrich, sought an "open marriage" before their own relationship ended.
In the interview with ABC News, Marianne Gingrich claims that when the then-House speaker told her of a long-term, six-year affair he was having with a congressional staffer (Callista Bisek, now his third wife), he asked if he could remain married to Marianne and continue the affair.
"I just stared at him and he said, 'Callista doesn't care what I do,'" Marianne Gingrich told ABC News. "He wanted an open marriage and I refused."
In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Newt Gingrich's ex-wife Marianne Gingrich claimed the former speaker's asked her for an "open marriage" and to allow him to continue his affair with then-mistress Calista.
Marianne Gingrich, the former speaker's second wife, also alleged that her ex-husband conducted his affair "in my bedroom in our apartment in Washington."
She also said Gingrich moved to divorce her just months after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. "He also was advised by the doctor when I was sitting there that I was not to be under stress," she said. "He knew."
According to Marianne Gingrich, her relationship with him began while Newt Gingrich was still married, but in divorce proceedings, with his first wife, Jackie. At the time, Jackie Gingrich was being treated for cancer.
In a second interview with The Washington Post, Marianne Gingrich said her ex-husband asked for a divorce in May 1999, shortly before giving a speech on family values.
She asked in that conversation with The Washington Post, "How could he ask me for a divorce on Monday and within 48 hours give a speech on family values and talk about how people treat people?"
In an interview with NBC's TODAY on Thursday, before the ABC News excerpts were released, Newt Gingrich vowed that he won't say "anything negative" about his former wife.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich talks to TODAY's Ann Curry about his presidential candidacy, defends his comments about the poor and says he's not going to criticize his ex-wife, who has promised to give an explosive interview to ABC News.
According to The Washington Post, at a campaign stop in South Carolina on Thursday, he called the statements by Marianne Gingrich, "tawdry and inappropriate," but wouldn't go further. His third wife, Callista Gingrich, stood a few feet behind him.
As word spread Wednesday about the interview with Marianne Gingrich, the campaign responded with something of a "prebuttal."
In advance of that interview, the campaign released a statement Wednesday night from Gingrich's daughters from his first marriage, Kathy Lubbers and Jackie Cushman.
They wrote:
The failure of a marriage is a terrible and emotional experience for everyone involved. Anyone who has had that experience understands it is a personal tragedy filled with regrets, and sometimes differing memories of events.
We will not say anything negative about our father's ex-wife. He has said before, privately and publicly, that he regrets any pain he may have caused in the past to people he loves.
ABC News or other campaigns may want to talk about the past, just days before an important primary election. But Newt is going to talk to the people of South Carolina about the future– about job creation, lower taxes, and about who can defeat Barack Obama by providing the sharpest contrast to his damaging, extreme liberalism. We are confident this is the conversation the people of South Carolina are interested in having.
Our father is running for President because of his grandchildren – so they can inherit the America he loves. To do that, President Obama must be defeated. And as the only candidate in the race, including Obama, who has actually helped balance the national budget, create jobs, reform welfare, and cut taxes and spending, Newt felt compelled to run - to serve his country and safeguard his grandchildren's future.

An old tape that shows Barack Obama saying he believes in "redistribution" is hardly the big scoop that Republican opponent Mitt Romney's campaign claims. To some degree, we're all redistributionists now, even Romney.
Romney's campaign and conservative media have been touting the 1998 video clip of then-state Sen. Barack Obama at Chicago's Loyola University, in which he says, "I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody's got a shot."
That R-word is a fighting word to the far right, especially the wingnuts who view Obama as a quasi-Marxist, secret Muslim and secret Kenyan who can't wait to hand your nest egg over to welfare cheats.
However, as more sensible conservatives point out, the "redistribution" sound-bite is hardly hot news. We chewed over the redistributionist rap quite well after candidate Obama told Sam "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher four years ago that he wanted to "spread the wealth around."
Besides, in an uncut version of the Loyola tape unearthed by NBC, Obama goes on to argue for competition and free market capitalism, coupled with a need to help the least fortunate. That's a thoroughly mainstream argument.
In fact, whether we Americans face up to it or not, we're all redistributionists now, including Romney.
Take, for example, Social Security and Medicare. They remain two of the government's most popular, fiercely protected programs, despite their long-term funding woes. Mend them, don't end them, voters say. Yet each program is redistristributive in its own way.
So is our progressive tax structure, with its complicated array of income brackets and exemptions. Even flat-tax proponents tend to be redistributionists. They merely want to redistribute the taxing-and-spending burdens and benefits in a different way from the existing system.
That's where Romney rolled off the rails, in my view, in his far more damaging, secretly videotaped remarks at a Boca Raton fundraiser -- a video clip from which his camp has tried in vain to divert attention with the Obama video.
Responding to a question about his campaign, Romney declared that he was not going to worry about the "47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what" because they "pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn't connect." They were "dependent upon government," Romney said, and they believe that they are "victims" and "are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it."
But the 47 percent who didn't pay federal income taxes in 2011 didn't pay because they did not owe any taxes. More than half of them did work and paid payroll taxes and state and local taxes, but did not earn enough to pay federal income taxes, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. The rest were mostly elderly. Fewer than one in 10 were classified as nonworking.
And the taxes they paid amounted to a higher percentage of their income than they did for upper-income earners, the center reports.
Although Romney allowed in a Fox News interview that he could have been more "elegant" with his remarks, he didn't back away from them. Rather, he believed we should have enough well-paying jobs that "people have the privilege of higher incomes" that would enable them to pay taxes.
"I think people would like to be paying taxes," he said in what may be the nicest thing that a major Republican candidate has said about taxes since the era before Ronald Reagan.
In fact, Romney used to like redistributive programs more back in the days when he was a moderate governor of Massachusetts. It appears that he has since put that former self into a blind trust held by the tea party.
That's politics. The political issue is not whether government redistributes but who pays and who benefits.
Besides, Romney should know better than to conflate the non-paying 47 percent with committed Obama voters. Only about two-thirds of people in families earning less than $30,000 voted for Obama in 2008, according to exit polls. The rest voted for Obama's Republican opponent, Sen. John McCain. If Romney really wants to give those low-income voters away, I'm sure Obama would be delighted to take them.

More than $300,000 in the sale of municipal bonds for improvements to the plant's electrical system were authorized by council Sept 28. The electrical changes will enable the city to eventually install a new generator and other improvements needed to operate new filtration equipment It will be installed in the next five to seven years, according to utilities superintendent Don Woodings.

The rules can be changed within five years, the length of an agency operating permit The city faces the ammonia requirement because it discharges into a creek, a water source that has flat- head minnows and other small fish or wildlife protected by federal guidelines. Woodings said the OEPA tests usually are conducted at the discharge point, where ammonia is the highest It will not check further down stream, where the ammonia has dissipated and poses no threat "You don't see any dead minnows, but you can't argue with the OEPA," he added. "We don't have any other choice. It would mean wasting money to fight them." The new lab also hat been mandated by the OPEA, which alleges the existing one is inadequate, Woodings said the 16-year-old facility does not have the up-the-date testing facilities required by the OEPA. He said failure to comply with the OEPA would result in a fine from* the Ohio Attorney General's Office.

Both soon will join Park Avenue merchants in trying to make downtown Amherst the thriving business community it once was. A born again Christian, Pogorelc will begin selling Bibles, religious publications and gifts Oct. 26, the day her Three Crosses Bible and Gift Shop opens for business. Schmidt moved from Flint, Mich, to operate The Grapevine, a new diner that will occupy Dad's Rainbow Restaurant, which closed its doors about three weeks ago. The longtime eatery went out of business after owner John Glorioso took over as chief chef and manager of The Veranda, a new banquet hall and restaurant set to open soon in the former Eagles Club on Milan Avenue. Schmidt, who formerly operated or managed restaurants in Atlanta, Ga. and Tampa, Fla., was persuaded to take over and renovate the old restaurant by longtime friend Dave Moore, the owner of Crystal Mortgage Co. and The Veranda. A lifelong friend of Moore's, Schmidt initially asked his old buddy to help finance a restaurant in Michigan. Moore had other ideas. Regardless of The Veranda's opening, Schmidt said Moore thinks there is a need for an inexpensive eatery to serve the breakfast, lunch and supper crowd. So, he quit a manufacturing job in Michigan to take a chance on Amherst when Moore said he would finance the restaurant He sees it as meeting two needs, filling the stomachs of Amhersto- nians and a place where they can exchange gossip, jokes and stories about day to day life in the Sandstone Center of the World.

It had to be the biggest surprise of her life. Not only was it a big way for her boyfriend, Ken Keilman, to pop the question, but everyone on York Imperial Drive knew about it "It was a surprise, but then again it wasn't," Keilman explained. "We'd talked about it. but she thought I was going to wait until Christmas or around New Year's." The idea wasn't his, rather that of his future mom-in-law, Charlene Godfrey. It was a smaller substitute for a really big idea that fell through because neither he nor his future inlaws wanted to spend $200 to get tickets to the Indians' and Yankees' Saturday playoff game. Had less expensive tickets been available, he had intended to arrange for Jacobs Field officials to have the big question suddenly pop up on the Indians' huge electronic bulletin board. Thousands of people probably would have seen it, maybe even the national audience watching the game on TV. Needless to say, that would have been a bigger shock. Regardless, it probably would have suited the 22-year-old bride-to-be just fine, much to the consternation of her future husband.

But there's no need to call the police department or the mayor. In fact, the cops are in cahoots with the kids. The youngsters are members of Cub Scout Pack 427, and they are working with the police on * project as a requirement for their Crime Prevention Award. On Saturday, Oct 24, the scouts will paint over the existing graffiti along the wall, so that the wall can then be used for positive messages. Pack leader Howard Akins said the scouts are working toward the merit badge, which requires them to participate in a crime prevention project with a local law enforcement agency. He said he contacted Amherst Drug Abuse Resis tance Education (DARE) officer Les Carrender for suggestions. Carrender said he had had the idea of a positive graffiti wall for a long lime. "I'm originally from Vermilion, and in Vermilion they had a wall where everyone painted positive graffiti," Car- render said. "Like the high school cheerleaders would come out and paint things like 'Go Team', or someone else would paint 'Happy Birthday' to a friend." Carrender said he contacted mayor John Higgins to get a approval from the city for the \ project He said Higgins contacted Conrail, since the wall is Conrail property, to make . sure they had no objections. Akin said the scouts have been enthusiastic about the project, especially Michael Lock, James Englehardt, and Bradley Akin. He said the scouts are checking with the schools for permission to use a "Comet's Tale" theme for the wall. "We want to make it a place where if people wanted to paint something positive, they could do that" Akin said. "If someone paints something negative, we'U paint over that" Work will begin at 10 ajn. on Saturday, Oct 24. Akins said if the whole pack shows up there will be around 45 scouts. "We'U probably have about 25." he said. "And I hope a* many moms and dads.'* He added that anyone who would like to help out is welcome. The pack is also seeking corporate sponsorship to pay for tools and materials.

XFO 39 Results and Recap
The Xtreme Fighting Organization put on the largest mixed martial arts event since November of 2009 in the greater Chicagoland area. The night of action saw eleven professional contests headlined by Jeff Curran versus Billy Vaughan. Read on for the full recap and results.
The first fight of the night was extremely quick as Hector Garcia needed just thirteen seconds to knock Nicholas Scotti out. Both fighters went to the center of the cage and looked to throw combos. Garcia landed a right hand that sent Scotti to the canvas. Garcia pounced quickly and landed three more shots before the Scott Fischer called a halt to the action.
Lightweights Will Brooks and Bobby Reardanz were up next. In the first round Reardanz looked to throw Brooks off with spinning attacks. Brooks quickly found his range and hurt Reardanz with a straight right. Brooks controlled the rest of the round with varied strikes including knees, elbows and punches. The second round Brooks came out with a big body kick and followed it up with a one-two and a knee that sent Reardanz to the canvas. Brooks took Reardanz down again worked to secure his back. As Reardanz was standing up, Brooks landed a massive belly to back suplex. Brooks finished the round with knees to the body while on the ground. Reardanz was clearly hurt as the third round started and Brooks looked to capitalize on it with a flying knee followed with four more knees. Reardanz looked to pull guard, but did nothing from the position and the ref stood them up. Brooks dropped Reardanz again and this time passed to side control. Brooks was working for a rear naked choke and couldn't get it but transitioned to a beautiful armbar forcing Reardanz to tap.
Middleweights Kent Rexford and PJ Cajigas were up next. Cajigas looked to establish his striking skills and hurt Rexford with a hook. Rexford decided to put the fight in his realm and took Cajigas down. Once on the ground, Rexford worked short elbows and strikes. Cajigas tried to escape, but Rexford kept heavy pressure on him. Cajigas attempted to roll to break free, but Rexford was able to just take his back and lock in a rear naked choke ending the fight.
The first of two women's fights were up next as Amanda LaVoy took on Michele Gutierrez. The first half of round one Gutierrez used her boxing to keep LaVoy at bay. Gutierrez continually countered LaVoy's leg kicks with big rights that sent LaVoy to the canvas. After being knocked on her butt twice, LaVoy changed tactics and went after Gutierrez. A big knee by LaVoy in a clinch was immediately noticeable as Gutierrez's left eye started to swell. The second round started out much like the first ended with the two women clinching. LaVoy landed a big knee and when the ladies separated a huge gash was visible on Gutierrez. The ref called the doctor in who stopped the fight.
Jason Graves opened up his fight with Dan Stittgen with a good one-two combo. Stittgen just laughed it off and Graves immediately took him to the ground. Graves was looking to pass his guard when Stittgen shifted and locked in an armbar to end the fight.
Fight of the night featured Lucas Gwaltney and Jon Murphy. Murphy through out the fight press forward and score takedown after takedown. Once on the ground he would work small strikes but it was Gwaltney who would work his way back to the feet where he was landing punch after punch. The first round was clearly for Murphy and the second seemed likely for him as well after a cut was examined by the doctor. The third round was a very close round and MMA Recap scored the fight 29-28 for Murphy. When the judges' scorecards were read, it was a unanimous decision for Gwaltney.
Bantamweights were up next with Terrance Kinney and Dan Aguirre. Kinney shot for a takedown and Aguirre looked for a guillotine. Aguirre attempted to pull guard with the choke, but Kinney escaped into his guard. Aguirre used his wiry legs to lock up a triangle choke. Kinney defended well until Aguirre started to transition to an armbar. Aguirre again readjusted this time pulling down on his opponent's head and forced a tap.
Mike Stumpf returned to action after a nearly three year layoff against Dan Bolden. The three round fight saw Bolden land his powerful right hand when the fight was standing. But it was Stumpf who controlled the fight as he had takedown after takedown. Once on the ground Stumpf landed several small strikes to keep the fight on the ground. Many times it looked like the ref was going to stand it up, but Stumpf was able to keep it there. In the end the judges didn't have a difficult decision as Stumpf clearly controlled the fight.
The women were up again as Felice Herrig took on Nicdali Rivera-Calanoc. Rivera-Calanoc quickly rushed Herrig and pushed her up against the cage, but Herrig reversed and bullied her against the cage. Both fighters looked to throw knees and when they separated, it was Herrig who landed a big overhand right. Rivera-Calanoc shot for a takedown, but couldn't get it. Round two and again Rivera-Calanoc rushed but this time she landed a left hand that found it's mark. Herrig looked to throw straight punches while her opponent wanted the overhand variety. Herrig started to change levels and work shots to the body, Rivera-Calanoc against rushed her to the cage. Herrig scored a big takedown and threw a couple of elbows forcing Rivera-Calanoc to try to escape. In the ensuring scramble, Herrig was able to get her back and finished the round working for a rear naked choke. The final round Herrig was able to get her back while standing, but in the scramble out, Herrig found herself in a deep guillotine choke. Rivera-Calanoc squeezed to end the fight, however Herrig was able to pop her head out. Once again Herrig worked to get Rivera-Calanoc's back and finished the round working towards a rear naked choke.
The co-main event featured former WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner taking on Tyler Combs. Varner came out with a fast combo to set up his takedown. He then landed several strikes ranging from elbows to hammer fists. Combs tried to escape, but Varner moved to north-south and locked in a choke. Combs looked like he was defending well, and then went unconscious.
Billy Vaughan stepped up on short notice to fight Jeff Curran in the main event of the evening. Vaughan looked to have a reach advantage, but Curran used his kicks to keep Vaughan in the position he wanted. Curran landed several striking combos as he clearly wanted a knockout victory. At the end of the first round Curran showcased some of his jiu jitsu when Vaughan shot in for a takedown and Curran was able to secure a guillotine. Vaughan started to escape so Curran went for an armbar as time expired in the round. The second round both fighters wanted to finish the fight in highlight reel fashion, but both were just missing with their strikes. Vaughan at one point threw six punches in a row to just have Curran dodge and avoid them. The second round clearly for Curran like the first due to his consistent ability to land his strikes. Vaughan came into the third round like he had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Both fighters quickly clinched and Curran started to work his dangerous knees. Vaughan decided to risk his chances on the ground, but Curran immediately attacked his arm with a kimura attempt. After some readjusting, the kimura looked really deep, but Curran just used it to pass to get back control. Curran nearly had a rear naked choke though Vaughan rolled out of it into an inverted triangle choke. Vaughan tried to free himself by grabbing ahold of Curran's foot and cranked it. The fight ended with both fighters trying to finish with a flurry of strikes. In the end, the fight went to Curran and he announced it was the last time we would see him inside the XFO cage.

Random survey shows sequester not on everyone's radar in NHBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 02. 2013 10:54PM
MANCHESTER - Most people asked at random on Saturday were not aware that the deep cuts in federal spending known as the sequester went into effect Friday night due to congressional inaction.
Some of the 12 people approached by a reporter were not aware of what the sequester entails. But those willing to be interviewed Saturday were displeased when told that Congress adjourned Thursday night for a long weekend without taking action to avoid the cuts.
"I don't think it's acceptable," said Shanyn Desjardins of Manchester. "They ... have a job to do. If we didn't do our jobs, we'd probably be fired. I know my boss wouldn't let me take a day off if something had to be done and I had a deadline."
Four people declined to be interviewed because they said they didn't know what the sequester was and hadn't followed the issue. Others, including Desjardins, knew about the issue but were not aware the deadline had passed after Congress adjourned.
Susan Ramos of Auburn said: "Why can't they just deal with it like corporations do? Run this country like a corporation, and we wouldn't have this deficit or a problem."
Dave Coulon of Manchester and Louise Nicols of Lawrence, Mass., said they had followed the issue and were aware of the congressional inaction.
"If they're supposed to work for us, they're supposed to get things done," Coulon said.
"I don't think that's good," Nicols said. "I don't think that's good to take that time off at that time."

Nashua police, fire departments to get new equipment
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
— Police and fire crews throughout the city will be receiving new protective equipment and gear totaling nearly $140,000.
On Wednesday, the aldermanic Finance Committee approved funding for several new purchases that will benefit the Nashua Police Department and Nashua Fire Rescue.
Using U.S. Department of Justice forfeiture funds, city police will be able to acquire 22 new assault shields.
According to Mayor Donnalee Lozeau, the new shields — totaling $48,400 — weigh about 19 pounds compared to the shields currently being used by officers that carry a weight of about 50 pounds each.
"This size shield is a good combination between protection and weight, and is the shield (police) currently have in the three supervisor vehicles," according to a memo to Lozeau.
The committee also authorized spending $40,928 in Homeland Security Grant money to purchase two new bomb suits and one helmet for the police department.
"The two that they have are about 10 years old," Lozeau told the committee.
Alderman-at-Large David Deane said the city needs to make sure that local emergency workers have safe and updated gear while voting in support of the purchase from MED-ENG, LLC of New York.
Ten sets of personal protective clothing — at a cost of $17,482 — also was authorized for Nashua Fire Rescue. The fire department will be purchasing the fire gear from Bergeron Protective Clothing of Epsom.
Although the department typically waits until January to order replacement clothing, Lozeau said the costs are expected to increase by about 3 percent in January, which prompted the early purchase request.
Nashua Fire Rescue also requested that three new thermal imaging cameras be bought for the department's fleet.
"Nashua Fire Rescue has used the Bullard Thermal Imager Cameras since 2000 with great success, and seeks your approval to purchase three replacement cameras with the same features and latest technology," according to a memo to the mayor from Robert Gabriel, the city's purchasing manager.
The three cameras, totaling $31,485, will replace three older-model cameras now being utilized, according to Lozeau. Once the new cameras are in operation, all of the department's thermal imaging devices will be under 10 years old, she added.
All of the purchase requests for the fire and police departments were approved by the committee, totaling $138,295.

There are currently 3 X-mount lenses with "WR" in the product name.
XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR
XF50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR
XF18-135mmF3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR
To be able to use under severe condition, sealing has been applied in various parts of the lenses, but sealing ins't the only technology that make the lenses "WR". Air Ventilation is another technology that plays an important role.
The volume of the inner barrel changes for lenses such as XF16-55mm and XF18-135mm, which extend the overall lens length when adjusting zoom. It means that the air moves inside the lens barrel.
Smooth air movement is needed for smooth zooming operation, but as the clearance has been removed to the utmost limit to make lenses dust-resistant and water-resistant, there isn't much space for air to move freely inside the lens barrel.
In order to solve the problem, a ventilator is placed in the interior of the bottom of the lens barrel. The structure effectively prevents dust particles and moisture from getting into the lenses to allow for smooth operation. Technologies, that are not so obvious, create help making the lens "Weather Resistant" as written at the bottom of the lenses.

Beaumont Police were called about 4 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, to the 2500 block of Campbell in reference to reported shots fired. When officers arrived, they found a white male deceased and a white female mortally wounded inside a vehicle that was in the driveway of 2530 Campbell. Emergency service responders were summoned to treat the injured woman, but she died before paramedics could arrive at the scene. Both victims appeared to have suffered from multiple gunshot wounds, officials from the Beaumont Police Department report.
Officers secured the scene and searched for witnesses. K-9 Officers responded to the scene and they performed a lengthy track in the hopes of locating a possible suspect. This effort was unsuccessful.
Both victims were transported to the Jefferson County Morgue and are awaiting autopsies that were ordered by Judge Ken Dollinger.
Detectives have been able to identify the female victim, stated BPD Officer Rob Flores, but are still working to identify the male victim.
"We are working this case as a capital murder," he said. "These are the first murders to occur in the city this year."

Mount Pleasant native Nick Ciuffo is almost a lock for the first round of the Major League Baseball draft Thursday night. The Lexington High School senior is a refined catcher with a left-handed power swing.
But it's an exceptionally down year for draft-eligible college players in South Carolina. Only two Palmetto State college players are on Baseball America's updated top 500 draft prospects list, which gobbles up the first 15 rounds: Coastal Carolina outfielder Jacob May at No. 203 and Coker right-handed pitcher Zach Loraine at No. 476.
It won't be that way in 2014, when right-handed pitcher Daniel Gossett of Clemson joins a group of South Carolina players including shortstop Joey Pankake, catcher Grayson Greiner and outfielder Tanner English in the draft pool.
And the 2013 drought probably is not as bad as advertised.
- Citadel coaches have told players not to expect Joe Jackson back for the 2014 season; look for the junior catcher in the first 10 rounds.
- Surely, one MLB team will wise up and snag South Carolina senior closer Tyler Webb within the first 15 rounds.
- Gamecocks senior first baseman/DH LB Dantzler is not Christian Walker but with power a precious commodity, Dantzler is worth a risk in the early part of the middle rounds.
- Clemson coaches will have to sweat out the draft process involving junior second baseman Steve Wilkerson, one of the few Tiger bright spots on offense in the Columbia Regional (two homers vs. St. Louis).
- Tigers senior right-hander Scott Firth can touch 93 mph and is projected as a mid-round pick.

**1/2 (out of four)
After seeing these stereotypes on screen approximately 100 billion times, everyone should be tired of movies that position men as immature, commitment-phobic slackers who need to shape up and women as uptight, long-term planners exasperated with the deception of the opposite sex. Modern relationship insight? No, that's a weak stand-up routine from 25 years ago.
Extrapolated from Steve Harvey's book, "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy and Commitment," this intermittently funny comedy treats Harvey's book like a fountain of wisdom, so much so that characters frequently begin sentences with, "Steve says."
The women, including Meagan Good, Taraji P. Henson, Gabrielle Union and Regina Hall, use it as a guide to understanding their guys. The men, including Romany Malco, Michael Ealy, Terrence J and Jerry Ferrara, seek to use this leaked info against the girls.
Those are a few of many discomforting elements of "Think Like a Man." Male/female relationships unfold as a constant power struggle, and the guys instinctively choose lying over truth every time. If your girlfriend wants you to apply for that job, either do it or don't do it. Watching someone lie about that and waiting until he gets caught slows down the two-hour ensemble piece that runs at least 20 minutes too long.
As the divorced guy looking to celebrate his freedom, Kevin Hart scores some of the film's biggest laughs, in addition to a few hysterical digs at the broad comedy/sentimentality formula of Tyler Perry's films. Even if "Think Like a Man" undergoes a similarly rocky transition between homophobic jokes and lines like "This bitch is crazy" before arriving at the honest point that, when the macho bravado falls away, these guys admit that they do what they do for their women because they want to, not because they have to.
Too often, though, the movie's peddling generalized gender roles and racial behavior as universal fact, in the white-guys-are-dorky-and-powerful-women-are-too-strong-and-intimidating department. The film's one aspect no one will disagree with, however, comes from the casting of Chris Brown as a sleazy, insincere dude who women should avoid at all costs. If he thinks that's having fun with his persona, the joke's on him.

Ryu represents Dodgers' latest internati
The Dodgers, who spent $25.7 million for exclusive rights to negotiate with Ryu, struck a six-year, $36 million deal with the pitcher just before a Sunday deadline that would have returned him to the Korean Baseball Organization's (KBO) Hanwha Eagles.
The 25-year-old Ryu, an All-Star in all seven of his KBO seasons, registered a 98-52 record with a 2.80 ERA for Hanwha and won the league's strikeout title five times featuring a fastball/change-up combination.
Dodgers General Manager Ned Colletti, recalling the impact that pitchers Fernando Valenzuela of Mexico, Hideo Nomo of Japan and South Korean Chan Ho Park had with the Dodgers, said the team believed Ryu could follow in that tradition before helping the stocky pitcher put on a No. 99 Dodgers jersey.
"I watched Chan Ho pitch since I was young, a lot of Dodgers games," Ryu said through an interpreter at a news conference at Dodgers Stadium. "It's my honor to play for the Dodgers. I will do my best to follow Chan Ho's record here."
Park broke in with the Dodgers as a 21-year-old in 1994 and by 1997 he was a starter in the rotation, posting a 14-8 record, the first of five successive seasons with at least 13 wins.
In 2000, Park had his best season, going 18-10 with a 3.27 ERA and the next year was named to the National League All-Star team. He went on to register a career mark of 124-98, with his total victories, accumulated with five different teams, a record for a Korean pitcher.
While striking a humble tone, Ryu was not shy about spelling out his goals.
"My first goal is having two-digit wins, the (earned run) average of 2-point ERA, and my final goal is breaking Chan Ho's winning of 124, so probably more than that."
Ryu said he was pleased to sign with the Dodgers but liked his chances of earning a bigger salary in the future.
"I'm happy with my contract," he said. "It's my first deal with Major League Baseball. I'm going to do my best to get a better deal next time."
Ryu was given some direct advice by Dodgers co-owner Magic Johnson.
When the Korean pitcher with the sinking change-up was asked about adjustments he might have to make in Major League Baseball, Johnson interrupted, "just tell him to throw strikes."

High tech meets high fashion
Another new permutation is a collaboration between New York fashion designer Alexander Wang and Samsung Electronics. For the project, Wang enrolled a group of friends and fashion influencers, including Barneys New York creative ambassador-at-large Simon Doonan and fashion photographer Hugh Lippe, to create sketches on Samsung Galaxy Note II smartphones. Wang then combined them to create a crowd-sourced digital pattern. The final print will be featured on a limited-edition leather Wallie Gym Sack backpack to be sold this summer at alexanderwang.com.

We begin our discussion of the cocoa market with an observation. On October 15 – the day before the release of European grind data – December cocoa settled at $2,354 per tonne (Chart 1). The grind results were dismal, but better than expected. Third-quarter grindings were down 16.2% year-over-year. Analysts had expected a decline of 15% to 20%. Similarly, a couple of days later, the North American figures came in down 2.19%, "better" than analysts' guesstimates of a decline between 3% and 10%. Traders actually bid the market up by $1,500 per tonne, allegedly relieved that the numbers were not worse.
The rally was lost, but the market has had four weeks to absorb the implications of falling demand implicit in the grind numbers, but prices are holding above the pre-grind level. Commodities in general – the other softs, energy, base metals, and now grains – have experienced a broad selloff, so it pays to take note of markets that might be bucking the trend.
As far as the European grind is concerned, one large German processor claims that its results were omitted completely from the survey. Although there were no hard figures accompanying this news, it does seem that the total European grind would have been considerably higher with the inclusion of the missing grinder. And this explains, at least in part, why the market had such a bullish reaction to what was ostensibly bearish news.

Struggling with Self Evaluation
Posted 27 October 2006 - 09:52 AM
As the entire department has only been in post since September much of the evidence I could use refers to the work of different teachers.
Any advice/copies of completed form etc would be useful.

Hope this helps.

If you are unsure of a particular issue or section, literally put that you are unsure - offer some suggestion / ideas as to what could be relevant but keep this to a sentence. Quite literally put that you don't know if you don't know. The SEF is meant to be a working document - "we will require some training and support to cover this issue.... etc. etc." is an ideal answer because it shows you have considered the issue but would like further clarification and ideas about it. This then helps inform your department's development and helps develop requests and justifications for backing for training and additional resources.

My stuff was much more extensive, I'm afraid.
It was based around the idea that a SEF is about evaluation, not description.
When you ask a teacher how successful - say - their Special Needs work is, their immediate reaction is to list all the things they do with the SN pupils.
That isn't evaluation - it's description.
What you ought to be doing in a self-EVALUATION document is to say HOW WELL you do things ... to EVALUATE your performance as a department. The list of what you do with the SN pupils is, in a meaningful evaluation, irrelevant - what you need is some reliable performance indicators, against which you can measure/judge ... evaluate ... your performance.
Much of the official guidance on Dept SEFs seems to me simply to miss the point. Much of it, as far as I can make out, asks HoDs to make statements of facts, not evaluations of performance - even down to repeating factual data (e.g. exam results) which are recorded elsewhere already. Alternatively, they seem to ask HoDs to include targets and plans in with their SEFs. Thus most of the guidance I have seen - it seems to me - muddles up what should be the distinct and discrete functions of three departmental documents - the departmental handbook (which should describe 'what is'), the departmental SEF (to evaluate how good it is), and the departmental devlopment plan (to catalogue what you are going to do to get better).
Thus your SEF should be about EVALUATION ONLY. Anything else is a waste of time, and we don't have time to waste.
So I started by putting out a position paper for thinking about, and for pre-discussion in departments.
Was it any use? I DO feel it was worthwhile discussing principles before we set about as departments filling in the forms, but actually, I suspect it was counter-productive.
It scared HoDs to death. I think it over-complicated things. I'm not even sure it generated positive discussion in departments.
I can send you it if you want to go through the same process with your department as I attempted in my own school but I haven't bothered to include it; everything that was felt to be of value was repeated in the later documentation.
So, about a month later, I issued HoDs with:
1. 'Step-by-step' guidance notes - http://www.greenfiel..... guidance.doc - on how to complete their Dept SEF; it included not only step-by-step instructions, but all the key principles and prompt evaluative questions (performance indicators) from the earlier document. In contrast to the previous document, this worked well and was well-received by HoDs, who found that it made their task easier, and who quickly produced their SEFs using it. IF I HAD TO RECOMMEND ONE THING TO READ BEFORE YOU WROTE YOUR DEPT SEF, this would be it.
2. A pro-forma , which followed the guidance model, into which departments could insert the text of their SEFs.
Feel free to take or reject whatever, however you want.

I will happily send anyone who wants one a completed copy of my SEF - not willing to put it up for general scrutiny at the moment as it has very detailed statistics etc on it - as so many people helped me out with examples of their own over the last few months.
The Head emphasised to us that this is a working document and as such it was ok to not get it 100% right the first time.
I know that I will be making additions as I go.
What I will say is that I did schedule a meeting with my dept and sat down with the list of 74 questions I was given and literally brainstorm the answers and then I went and typed it up - don't shoulder all the responsibility yourself.

I have removed the SEF, but I am more than willing to send it to all and sundry who PM me.

Has anybody been OFSTEDED and had to hand a SEF in yet on the forum?
Posted 31 October 2006 - 08:17 AM
Joel what your document certainly highlights is the huge variances in workload and demand that SMT put on departments when it comes to completing the SEF. If this is a document that OFSTED is supposed to judge us on - does my 10 page over the top one with 74 questions fit the description or your 2 page one more fit what they want?
Has anybody been OFSTEDED and had to hand a SEF in yet on the forum?
I know what you mean, when I asked if I could write more and really qualify what I had put I was told a firm "NO" and that meant that (as you can see) the SEF actually tells you very little about the department. When I pushed further the SMT here had very much the attitude that if you can't say what you want in a page then it's not really worth saying. They also made it clear that if I was not prepared to cut the document down then they would do it for me, a situation that I was far from happy with. Perhaps they just wanted to curtail their own workload.
I really feel that there needs to be some guide from the OFSTED bods to let us know the length that we should go to on the form. I realise that the blind copying out of tables is not really what is wanted, but as a new (reasonably, since Christmas last) HOD this is my first attempt at this and some more support from the school or OFSTED would have been nice. Although I must point out that all the other HOD's in the school are far from happy too!

How well does the department contribute to community cohesion?
From the Inspecting maintained schools duty to promote community cohesion: guidance for inspectors I found this:
What is community cohesion?
By community cohesion, we mean working towards a society in which there is a common vision and sense of belonging by all communities; a society in which the diversity of peoples backgrounds and circumstances is appreciated and valued; a society in which similar life opportunities are available to all; and a society in which strong and positive relationships exist and continue to be developed in the workplace, in schools and in the wider community .
Community from a schools perspective
- For schools, the term community has a number of dimensions including:
- the school community the children and young people it serves, their parents, carers and families, the schools staff and governing body, and community users of the schools facilities and services
- the community within which the school is located the school in its geographical community and the people who live or work in that area. This applies not just to the immediate neighbourhood but also to the city or local authority area within which a school is located
- the UK community all schools are by definition part of this community
- the global community formed by EU and international links.
I've started the blurb for the section:
How well does the department contribute to community cohesion?
One of the key concepts that underpin the study of history includes 1.2 Cultural, ethnic and religious diversity. In order for students to deepen and broaden their knowledge, skills and understanding the Key stage 3 History programme of study addresses the diverse experiences and ideas, beliefs and attitudes of men, women and children in past societies and how these have shaped the world. Through the concept of diversity the students explore cultural, ethnic and religious diversity and racial equality. Diversity exists within and between groups due to cultural, ethnic, regional, linguistic, social, economic, technological, political and religious differences. Cultural understanding is developed in history through the range of groups and individuals investigated, for example minorities and majorities, European and non-European. People and societies involved in the same historical event may have different experiences and views and may develop a variety of stories, versions, opinions and interpretations of that event.
Looking at this as the definition should I just reference the new KS3 PoS on diversity, local, national and world history links?
Anyone else updating SEF...any pointers?

The advice I have been given from SMT (for what it's worth)is that the SEF is an 'ongoing' document and should only contain information that draws the inspector towards the evidence. You should make brief statements on the document but be prepared to hand over the evidence if asked for it. It is in that spirit that we have written ours. The document is brief but informative.
I do have the sections available at school if anybody is struggling. Also - the guide quoted by JDC above is very useful in helping you to fill it in.
Posted 26 September 2009 - 07:41 PM
Also link it in with local diversity - for me its about ensuring that the History content reflects the local need to make the reasons for migration clear, both recent and historical... so BHM stuff and anything I do to illustrate the reasons for migration from Poland, Czech Republic etc.... is linked in.
The stuff I'm doing for the HA is in its VERY early stages.... will link to it once its finished and online.

Ahead of Saturday evening's Disney Pro Soccer Classic clash with USL-Pro side Orlando City (6:00 p.m. ET/Stream), the Black & Gold played a scrimmage on Saturday morning against MLS rival Sporting Kansas City. The technical staff wanted an extra match to get their players additional minutes, and the Crew delivered, downing Sporting by a final score of 5-2. The Black & Gold had five different goal-scorers, with Shawn Sloan, Ethan Finlay, Justin Meram, Konrad Warzycha and Ben Speas all finding the net.
"It was great for everybody. We got our guys more playing time that we were looking for - some guys got 90 minutes and some got 60 - but it was a good exercise," said Crew Assitant Coach Ricardo Iribarren. "It wasn't the start we were looking for, but we found the way we needed to play and got the result. We're happy with everybody and it was a good win."
Full match details are below.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tempers and frustrations are flaring in Congress on the eve of its August recess.
"Have senators sit down and shut up, OK," Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday, addressing freshman Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin, who was presiding over the Senate, but in an uncharacteristic loud voice aimed at chatting colleagues.
"It's unfair ... it's just not polite," the Nevada Democrat added, referring to Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who had been recognized to speak on a highways and housing bill about to be blocked.
House Speaker John Boehner (BAY'-nur) told reporters earlier, quoting: "I'm sure the August recess will have our members in a better mood when they come back."
The Ohio Republican's comment followed a question about postponement of a vote on the House version of the highways bill.

Turris signs with Finnish league
Another one has bitten the dust.
The number of locked-out Senators skaters in Kanata is going to be even smaller next week after centre Kyle Turris agreed to a deal with Oulun Karpat in the Finnish Elite League on Saturday.
The 23-year-old Turris, who had been waiting to see what happened with negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement before heading overseas, will leave next week and is expected to make his debut Friday against IFK Helsinki.
"I'm excited to play," Turris said in a press release announcing his signing on Oulun Karpat's website. "We're glad that things (worked out) quickly."
Turris was signed after Carolina's Jussi Jokinen, who was under contract, left Karpat and elected to return to North America. Oulun also has San Jose defenceman Jason Demers under contract.
While Senators teammate Erik Karlsson signed a monthly contract with Jokerit, Turris' deal is different. He is committed to play with Karpat for the rest of the season unless the NHL and the NHLPA agree to a new CBA.
"The timing is good," said Karpat GM Harri Aho, who had Demers sign a similar deal with the club.

UPDATE: The Strypes' March 24 show at Subterranean has been postponed. Stay tuned for a rescheduled date.
Ross Farrelly is 16 years old. He lives with his parents. And right now, Dave Grohl, Elton John and The Who's Roger Daltrey can't get enough of him.
As singer for rising Irish rockers The Strypes, Farrelly has toured with Arctic Monkeys, appeared on "Conan" and scored a Top 5 album in the U.K. with the band's debut, "Snapshot" (out March 18 in the States). The record takes inspiration from American blues and its English R&B;/rock adapters, delivering straightforward rock 'n' roll that, depending on where you're sitting, is either shamelessly nostalgic or, more likely, a fitting, exciting tribute. Asked by phone whether he takes it as a compliment or insult that an online commenter snarkily noted, "I love historical re-enactments," Farrelly chooses the former.
"Everything was going by really fast and you don't really think about it till afterwards. It was just like going to another person's house and meeting. He was just down-to-Earth; we just talked about music. I never really thought, 'Holy [bleep], this is Elton John' until afterwards." –What was going through his head when the band was invited to lunch at Elton John's
"After the song, he comes on and shakes hands to the band who plays. And he came backstage and started talking to us about Ireland and rock 'n' roll. He was just telling us where his family were from in Ireland, and we were just chatting about music and he said he was just complimenting us and saying that he never really comes back and says hello to the bands, but he came back and had to say hello to us." – What Conan O'Brien said to them on his show
"Not really. I wouldn't say so." – If Conan's popular in Ireland
"You kinda go, 'Yeah, don't be silly; it's only me.' But whenever people say nice things you just take the compliment and get on with it and stuff. You can't really let anything throw your mind off balance or anything." – On praise they've received
"Thanks very much. I hope to think so." – On some writers seeming to think the band will save rock and roll (in a more serious way than Fall Out Boy's tongue-in-cheek album title, "Save Rock and Roll.")
"I think it's equal. Our whole interest in music started off with Stones and the Animals and the Yardbirds and stuff, and we found out that a lot of the songs were covers. And then we're like, 'Oh, who did them first?' And then we researched into the older blues stuff, and then that influenced all of us as well. We're also influenced by '70s punk and loads of different kinds of music." – If they're more influenced by the Stones and Yardbirds or American blues artists
"Ripping off something is completely just copying something, and then a throwback as you've explained it is just a nod to your influences, which is what every band does. You can't not do it." – The difference between a throwback (which I define to him as something that affectionately nods to influences) and a rip-off
"That's a hard question. Not really. Everything is from something. Everything has its own influences. No one can do anything new anymore. " –If he's heard a band that was doing something new
"I don't really care about them. They can do whatever they want. If they want to say hello to us, then we'll say hello to them. But I don't think anyone's going to arrange a meeting … It's just not what we're about. I'm sure they're lovely people."– On One Direction
"People say 'the next One Direction,' and we're not at all. It is really annoying. Whatever age you are, you should just be [thought of] as another person. In the music business it's your talent [that matters]; that's what it should be. If you're good at something, that's all that should matter. You're representing something good instead of being a pin-up that's just manufactured to make money." – More on 1D
"I wouldn't call them music fans because people that listen to all that sort of stuff are just told to listen to it. Whatever is pumping out of the shops or restaurants or whatever people to go nowadays. It's just blasting out; they don't really have a choice. They're kind of forced to like it. So I wouldn't really call them music fans. I think music fans tend to listen to more actual music, searching for stuff that is real. You know, actual instruments and has a meaning or has a purpose." – If it's hard to appeal to young music fans who aren't used to bands like the Strypes
"Providing an alternative to all that poppy [bleep]." – How they offer an opportunity to those who haven't had a chance to hear rock
"The Arctic Monkeys; they're very British. All their lyrics are very British, and the way he pronounces words, are like English slang words. So I can see how they wouldn't take off [in America]. But I think Irish bands connect better over here because of the whole American/Irish thing. ... A lot of [Americans] claim that they're Irish, so they kind of have a soft spot for Irish people I think." – On crossover appeal
"We haven't really had that huge level of success. I mean, I'm 16 years old; I should be living with my parents." – If it's been weird to have success and still live at home
The Strypes, 8 p.m. March 24 at Subterranean. $12.
Who he's listening to now: The Specials
Someone new he's discovered: Gary Clark Jr.
Favorite movie: "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"
Guilty pleasure TV: "I like 'The Big Bang Theory.' That's probably my guilty pleasure. I know it's not that funny, but I laugh at it. A lot of the jokes are just geek jokes, but I like it."
A joke: "I haven't heard a silly word in yonks." ("Yonks" means a long time.)

Two Clarkson University Students Win Society of Women Engineers Scholarships
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/swe-scholarships-2008.jpg]
Emily A. Stefano and Elsbeth D. Adams, both mechanical engineering students at Clarkson University, were recently selected as recipients of $2,500 scholarships from the Society of Women Engineers (SWE).
Stefano is a sophomore from East Amherst, N.Y.; Adams is a junior from Evans Mills, N.Y.
The two students are members of the Clarkson chapter of SWE, a national not-for-profit educational and service organization that empowers women to succeed and advance in engineering.
"It's great to be rewarded by SWE," says Stefano. "I joined SWE because I knew they planned a lot of activities for younger girls to help them learn more about science and engineering; and I wish there were more events like that for me when I was younger."
Clarkson's chapter of SWE has done numerous projects, including hosting an event for local 8th grade girls to learn about science and engineering through a day of engaging activities such as making lotion and balsa wood gliders. The group also helps local Girl Scout troops earn science badges by hosting a science experiments clinic.
"It is my goal to raise awareness about the possibilities of engineering for women," says Adams. "As a woman in engineering I represent the future. I have a passion for problem solving, and engineering is the most advantageous avenue for helping solve the problems of the world today."
For more about SWE, go to http://www.swe.org.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in six alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

For most viewers, Olympic figure skating can be a subjective and murky sport, the difference between medals and also-ran status found in small gradations not visible to the naked eye.
But in Wednesday night's prime-time short skate from Sochi, Russia, NBC viewers were treated to a more direct view of the haves and have-nots. The top three skaters — South Korea's Yuna Kim, Russia's Adelina Sotnikova and Italy's Carolina Kostner — had the kind of performances that makes even skating duffers take notice, finishing within a point of one another. At the same time, the falls of Sotnikova's 15-year-old countrywoman Yulia Lipnitskaya and Japan's Mao Asada immediately made clear they would end up in the middle of the pack, if not further behind.
Lipnitskaya's ready-for-her-close-up moment, set up by her team performance earlier in the week, didn't quite come off as planned. But Sotnikova nicely slid in to take her place, continuing the home-team narrative with her acrobatic contortions. And just two years Lipnitskaya's senior, the youth-has-been-served story line stayed in place too. The Russian-skating spectacles have been good fun for viewers (even and especially Plushenko's non-skate), and will no doubt be good for ratings. (You may well know the results already when you're reading this; we'll do the tape-delay thing and avoid the spoiler
eanwhile, the Americans were clearly, if not unambiguously, on the right side of the ledger. Teenager Gracie Gold had a medal-in-sight top-five position, which is what matters most — for the network at least and for those of us who like a good rising-star story line. That fellow Yanks Ashley Wagner, shining on like a crazy diamond, and endearingly gawky teenager Polina Edmunds (who got a nice pre-skate feature complete with Type A Russian mom) finished right behind her was just a bonus and ensured plenty of drama Thursday night, when the medals will of be determined after the free skate.)
Equally important to Gold's top-five finish, the athlete showed the kind of openness and exuberance that makes her the star-in-waiting Madison Avenue and networks hope for. "I was definitely very nervous," she beamed in her post-skate interview. "Never in my life did I step out and wish I was doing a long skate instead of a free skate."
Alas, that kind of clear expression was not found in the broadcast booth, where perhaps the most challenged announcing team at the Games was in full effect, alternating between opaque descriptions of the scoring ("She reached the highest level, four, on all jumps, but her footwork was level three," as viewers were told Wednesday) and the kind of platitudes that seem to have little to do with any sport, even one that involves jumping over ice in glittery costumes. "She feels the music in her heart" sounded great when I read it on an oatmeal box this morning, but what it tells me about the complicated choreography of an Olympic athlete I have no idea.
OK, so Scott Hamilton can have the occasional insight, when he's not vaguely talking about how someone "fought for" a jump. But Tom Hammond and Sandra Bezic offered as much analysis as you'd expect from a docile Notre Damer football commentator and a woman who can hear cardiac melodies. NBC, can we get Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski already? Heck, I'd settle for Johnny Depp and Tara Reid.
Of course, all of the drama they were calling is merely prelude. The short program is a setup event, the first half of a close football game that can change with a good locker-room speech or suddenly hot quarterback. But at least the next act is poised to play nicely. Kim and Sotnikova looked ready for gold and silver, but some compelling personalities were waiting in the wings to strike, or at least go on a run that will make for good viewing Thursday night.
Speaking of good viewing, Ted Ligety. His skiing skills, needless to say, continue to amaze. In Torino eight years ago I was actually present at the combined event where he came out of nowhere and won gold. And he redeemed his Vancouver demons — and validated his last few years on the World Cup circuit — with a monster first run on the giant slalom course Wednesday that took him all the way to a gold medal.
But is there a less compelling ski champion around now? I know he's up against the Shakespearean appeal of Bode Miller and the endless charm that is Lindsey Vonn, not to mention all those ADHD freestyle snow athletes. But come on, even Aksel Svindal gives you some juice with that Julie Mancuso romance. Ligety seems like a nice guy, but on TV he reads like just a tall glass of vanilla. In his in-studio interview with Bob Costas he dutifully described his technique, smiled a few times and told a long-winded and not especially entertaining story about how his dad initially wanted him to go to college before a few wins convinced Ligety Sr. he should let his son play on the slopes.
That Ted had forgone some higher education was clear, as he seemed to miss Costas' question about whether his next and last event of these Games would be his "swan song" (he answered it as though Costas was asking if he thought he could win). He had to be asked again by Costas, ever the slick pro, about where he'd be heading to South Korea for the '18 Games. I'm just not buying him as an A-list Olympic star, no matter how much Citibank and other sponsors try to convince us otherwise, and no matter how many Ligety-split puns my headline-writing colleagues come up with.
And speaking of Miller — who fittingly at that fateful Torino event was at the top of the standings halfway through but then DQ-ed and stormed off in his infamous Olympic-sized meltdown — was also present at the mountain Wednesday, finishing well out of the medal running. In his slopeside interview, Christin Cooper, she of Cry-gate a few days ago, seemed to purposefully tread lightly this time around, asking him about his daughter's birthday, to whom he dedicated his runs. Miller, uncharacteristically, seemed to get choked up at that too. It may well be his last-ever Olympic appearance, as he's pulling out of the final event this weekend. You always start to show emotion right before you leave.
Finally, outside the NCAA men's hoops tourney, is there a better concurrent TV sports extravaganza than Olympic quarterfinal hockey day? Starting at midnight Tuesday here in Los Angeles and continuing until noon Wednesday, viewers were treated to four different games. "The headline was undeniable," Costas said of Russia's ignoble loss to Finland, an event that gave Vladimir Putin fits and broadcasters a chance to put that Wikipedia research on the Russo-Finnish wars to good use.
But Sweden's victory with only one Sedin brother, the U.S.' quick (and Quick) work of the Czech Republic, and Canada's near-national catastrophe to Latvia and its octogenarian captain Sandos Ozolins provided equally potent drama. And thanks to NBC snapping out of its tape-delay funk, all the games were shown live across its many cable networks. God bless International Hockey Day, and the NBC Universal-Comcast acquisition.

SC ex-governor Sanford seeks comeback from scandal
MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (AP) — Former Gov. Mark Sanford campaigned with prominent Republicans while businesswoman Elizabeth Colbert Busch appealed for votes as her campaign bus crossed South Carolina's 1st Congressional District ahead of Tuesday's special election.
Sanford, a Republican, and Colbert Busch, a Democrat and sister of political satirist Stephen Colbert, are to face off for the seat vacated when Tim Scott was appointed to the U.S. Senate. Green Party candidate Eugene Platt also is on the ballot.
Sanford is seeking a political comeback after a scandal erupted in 2009 in his second term as governor over disclosure that the then-married governor had an Argentine mistress.
He campaigned Monday with Jim Edwards, South Carolina's first Republican governor since Reconstruction.
Colbert Busch spent a fourth day Monday riding a blue-and-white campaign bus seeking last-minute votes.
