These kids are going to get a very brutal wake-up call someday and the results ain't gonna be pretty at all. In fact, we're already seeing the results of some of this stuff. Some of these people I see coming out of college now just can't believe it when they're told something is merely "good," because they've been told they're nothing less than fantastic all the time since birth … and heaven forbid if they hear something they do truly isn't even "good," but "not so good," to "bad" or even "horrible." .
ESPN's Berman On The Game
No costly penalties. No blown assignments in the secondary. No missed tackles in the open field. Excellent coverage by the special teams.
Hit Brady, early and often, on every passing play. Make him move his feet a lot. When the Giants took an early lead against the Patriots in the last game of the regular season,they had the star quarterback looking in both directions like a dog on a highway.
Pound Randy Moss, Wes Welker and other Patriot receivers. Make them hear footsteps so they're reluctant to go over the middle in the fourth quarter.
Employ short passes and a punishing ground attack to control the clock and keep Brady & Co. off the field.
Play a 60-minute game. The Baltimore Ravens, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Giants themselves all played tough against New England during the regular season and had images of upsets dancing in their heads.
Take food cues from Greek diet
The ingredients in Greek cuisine are described as food of the gods. When you dip into the stories of Greek mythology, the literature is rife with examples. Milk from the goat Amaltheia was said to have nourished the great god Zeus, who was born in a cave on the island of Crete. According to myth, a bee nestled in that same sacred cave was the original source of Crete's delicious velvety honey. Citrus fruit was created by Gaea, the goddess of the earth, as a wedding gift to Zeus and Hera, and then closely guarded in the Garden of Hesperides, far from the inquisitive eyes of Minoan mortals. .
Nick Clegg interview transcript...
I would want to actually quite, quite the reverse, I'd want to dramatically change the list of spending priorities. JON SOPEL: No, no, I put the total NICK CLEGG: No. No well the, the total, what I'm trying to say to you is that I think the key thing is how do you re-order the priorities within the total amounts available at the moment. I for instance have set out an ambition that I want to see the party, the Liberal Democrats, reallocate about twenty billion pounds worth of spending, government spending, on to key priorities. So not wasted on ID cards, but spend it on the poorest children. Not waste it on the Euro Fighter, defence project, but spend it on better health services. That is the debate which I think we're going to have between now and the next General Election. JON SOPEL: But why not position yourself as the tax cutting party, because it would seem that there is a wide open opportunity there.
Asia’s Hidden Arms Race: Six Countries Talk Peace While Preparing ...
Read all about it! Diplomats remain upbeat about solving the nuclear stand-off with North Korea; optimists envision a peace treaty to replace the armistice that halted, but failed to formally end, the Korean War 55 years ago. Some leaders and scholars are even urging the transformation of the Six Party Talks over the Korean nuclear issue, involving the United States, Japan, China, Russia, and the two Koreas, into a permanent peace structure in Northeast Asia. The countries in the region all seem determined to make nice right now. Yasuo Fukuda, the new Japanese prime minister, is considerably more pacific than his predecessor, the ultra-nationalist Shinzo Abe. The new South Korean president, Lee Myung-bak, despite his conservative credentials, is committed to continuing the previous president's engagement policy with North Korea and plans to reach out to Japan via his first post-inaugural state visit.
News Of The Day
The DN takes a dim view of Councilman Simcha Felder's proposal to ban feeding piegons. Three MTA board members have skipped every one of the eight public hearings on the proposed fare hike. In the race for the White House… Rudy Giuliani dismissed Judith Regan's allegation that she was forced to lie about her affair with former NYPD Commissioner Bernie Kerik to protect his ex-boss' presidential aspirations. Giuliani released his first TV ad - in New Hampshire - in which he acknowledges his imperfections. Barack Obama's body man is a former sports star, not a Washington insider. .
SNP threatens to tax supermarkets in war on booze culture
Retail organisations voiced opposition to the new proposals, which follow complaints from publicans that they were being unfairly singled out.John Drummond, the chief executive of the Scottish Grocers Federation, said the plans were "fundamentally flawed"."This should only be applied if it can be specifically proven that any individual shopkeeper or publican is seen to be responsible for causing anti-social behaviour or the like," he said. "We already have ways of dealing with anti-social behaviour, we have structures in place. The police ought to be doing that."Mr Drummond described the levy as "another tax" that could threaten the livelihoods of small shopkeepers already facing a doubling in their licence fees under a separate Holyrood shake-up of the licensing system. A spokesman for the Association of Convenience Stores said: "We would be concerned about the impact of any blanket levy.
Amazon.com is challenging French competition law
Of Amazon's $3 billion in third-quarter revenue, about $1 billion came from outside North America. Amazon does not break down sales or active users, which total 72 million globally, among seven international operations. Amazon's defiance has the potential to backfire. Amazon must pay the fine for 30 days if it continues to violate the court order, at which point the court will reconsider the fine and then extend it, lower it or raise it. Cédric Manara, a law professor and e-commerce specialist at Edhec, a French business school in Nice, said he would not be surprised if the court raised the penalty, and that Amazon "had no chance" with its appeal. The law is "really clear," Manara said. "There is no way you can read the text to find a different result.
L.T., Chargers aim to stay hot entering playoffs
They're 0-4 in the postseason dating to the Super Bowl whuppin' they took from San Francisco following the 1994 season. And it's hard to overlook last year's pratfall against the Patriots. “It has to come one day, and usually, what happens is, when you do get a win, there's a string of them," Tomlinson said. “Hopefully that's the case this year." If the Chargers are going to make the deep playoff run they've been talking about for a few seasons now, it would go through Indianapolis, provided the Chargers end up with the No. 3 seed — and win their opening game. If the Chargers can beat the defending Super Bowl champs a second time, their road to the Super Bowl would then go through New England, as long as the Patriots aren't upset in their opener. Tomlinson thinks the Chargers would match up well against any team in the playoffs.
