The Law Bug: Herbie Cracks The Whip in Tennessee
Mar 25, 2008 11:00 AM
'Bug-erceptor' gets more attention than respect for deputy
It's hard to say how much intercepting the Blount County Sheriff's Office's 1973 Volkswagen Beetle cruiser is capable of doing, but it's got the emblem, anyway. It says "Police Interceptor," but in truth the intimidation quotient of veteran law enforcer Archie Garner's cruiser isn't very high. It has all the right markings, decals and required equipment, but it just doesn't look like the rest of the Blount County Sheriff's Office fleet. Read More...

The Round Mound Of Rebound, Sir Charles Barkley. Oh My!
Feb 18, 2007 12:24 PM
Even
people who don't care for sports seem to get a kick out of Charles
Barkley. The former NBA superstar was recently voted into the NBA
Hall of Fame, and he was also voted one of the 50 best players to
ever play the game. These days Charles hosts a sports broadcast on
the TNT network that is as much about sit-down comedy as it is
sports, and the biggest laughs this week have centered around a
challenge foot race that Sir Charles is going to run against a 67
year-old NBA referee named Dick Bavetta. Dick took umbridge at an
on-air comment Charles made about his age, and even though Charles
said "I have nothing against old people. I hope to be one someday,"
the two men have agreed to settle matters on the basketball court
by running a race. The winner gets $50K donated to the charity of
his choice. It's all in good fun, and thanks to YouTube here are
some fun clips for everyone to enjoy and join in on the
laughter.

Now That's A Lot Of Snow
Feb 11, 2007 12:52 PM
The National Weather Service said Parish — about 25 miles northeast of Syracuse — reached a milestone early Saturday with 100 inches of snow during the past seven days. That was pushed to 110 inches by early Sunday with fresh snowfall.
Unofficial reports put snowfall totals at 123 inches in Orwell and 131 in Redfield, but the weather service said those numbers included snow from a storm a couple of days before the latest run. All three towns are in Oswego County.
The region is located along the Tug Hill Plateau, the snowiest region this side of the Rocky Mountains. It's a 50-mile wedge of land that rises 2,100 feet from the eastern shore of Lake Ontario. It usually gets about 300 inches — roughly 25 feet — of snow a year.
The hamlet of Hooker, near the boundaries of Jefferson, Lewis, and Oswego counties, holds the state's one-year record with 466.9 inches, about 39 feet, in the winter of 1976-77.

United Airlines denies its workers filed reports about saucerlike object hovering at O'Hare
It sounds like a tired joke--but a group of airline employees insist they are in earnest, and they are upset that neither their bosses nor the government will take them seriously.
A flying saucerlike object hovered low over O'Hare International Airport for several minutes before bolting through thick clouds with such intense energy that it left an eerie hole in overcast skies, said some United Airlines employees who observed the phenomenon. Read More...

Professor Funded For Virtual Shakespeare World

LONDON, October 19 (Reuters Life!) - Indiana University Professor Edward Castronova has made a name for himself as an economist who studies virtual worlds. Now he's been awarded a US$240,000 grant to create one himself, based on the world of William Shakespeare.
"What we plan to do is have people encounter the texts in Shakespeare and ideas in the text at many points within a really fun, multiplayer game, so without even knowing it, they gradually are learning more about the bard's work," said Castronova, author of "Synthetic Worlds: The Business and Culture of Online Games."

Raccoon Found Atop Loop Skyscraper
The Associated Press
Published May 4, 2006
The Chicago Tribune
A wayward raccoon has been living on top of a 43-story building in Chicago's Loop.
A construction manager didn't believe it at first when a worker reported seeing the raccoon on the 36th floor of the Kluczynski Federal Building, but a cell-phone photo provided proof. The critter was climbing scaffolding at the building, where the facade is being restored.
Construction boss Tony Slavic used tuna to bait a humane trap on the roof and eventually captured the raccoon. On Tuesday, he released it into a forest preserve in suburban Chicago.

NEW YORK (AP) — A teen novel at the heart of a plagiarism dispute has been pulled from stores. Author Kaavya Viswanathan, a Harvard University sophomore, had acknowledged that several passages in How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild and Got a Life were borrowed from the works of another writer.
Publisher Little, Brown and Company, which had signed the author to a reported six-figure deal, said in a statement Thursday that it had notified retail and wholesale outlets to stop selling copies of the book, and to return unsold copies to the publisher.
Visnawanathan has apologized repeatedly for lifting material from Megan McCafferty, whose books include Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings, saying she had read McCafferty's books voraciously in high school and unintentionally mimicked them. Read More...

Four-time champ Martin Buser of Big Lake had what he thought was a perfectly matched team of huskies -- similar sizes, similar ages, similar gaits -- that would power him to a fifth victory like some sort of turbo-charged V-16 engine in front of the sled. Read More...

Radical Move Rockets King To The Front
Cripple, Alaska, Mar. 9, 2006, 3:00 p.m. – Jeff King made a bold move to not only make up time on Iditarod leader Doug Swingley, but pass him, running some 85 miles - more than 10 hours - from Takotna to this remote tent camp in the middle of nowhere.
King's team loped past the inflatable palm tree set up as a joke by checkpoint volunteers at 2:45 p.m., just under 11 hours since he was allowed to leave Takotna, where he took his mandatory 24-hour layover. That is simply flying. It's also unheard of. Read More...

Lots of Dogs, Lots of Strategy As Mushers Take Their 24 Hour Rest
Stop
by Jon Little
McGrath,
Alaska, Mar. 8, 2006, 9:00 p.m. – If there's any pattern
emerging a little before midway through the 2006 Iditarod, it's
that there are still lots of very talented mushers piloting large
teams that are all capable of making a move. One reason for the
strong showing may be the soft trail with more snow than usual. It
takes a hair off the speed, and the trail has been less jarring -
both of which are good for the health of the dogs.

1112
miles from Anchorage to Nome, each musher and his/her dogs against
the elements and each other. They started yesterday (Sunday, 03/05)
and the winner will probably cross the finish line maybe sometime
late next Tuesday or maybe Wednesday. Current standings change
faster than the weather, so you have to stay on top of it. The
mushers run pretty much 24/7 so you never know who's going to blow

A Flood of Crimson Ink
Sick of hearing about Harvard? So is everyone else -- except Harvard-educated journalists.
Another academic year is drawing to a close, another year in which Harvard has generated vastly more headlines than any other American university. Most of these, of late, have concerned Lawrence Summers, Harvard's president, who famously suggested that there may be a biological explanation for the paucity of female scholars in the hard sciences. (He hasn't stopped apologizing since.) But a single controversy doesn't account for all the interest. Read More...

A Few Tips on How and When to Lie Effectively

It's good to know how to lie, and lie effectively, so you can go backstage after the high school production of "The Crucible" in which your friend's daughter mumbled her lines and stood like a fence post, trying to look horrified and looking drugged instead, and now here she is, fluttery, ashen-faced, perspiring, and you say, "It was fascinating to watch. You were so in the moment, Lindsey. So believable. It really resonated with that audience, there was so much intensity." The truth is that she has no more talent than the average cocker spaniel--but so what? There's no need to face the truth all at once. Read More...
January 23rd Is National Pie Day
Jan 23, 2006 01:25 AM
Abby's Famous Pecan Pie
9-inch unbaked pie crust
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 heaping cup pecan halves
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine corn syrup, sugar, eggs,
butter, salt and vanilla; mix well. Pour into unbaked pie
crust; sprinkle with pecan halves.
The American Pie Council says "Even Bill Gates loves pie."
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until centeris set. Toothpick inserted in center will come out clean when pie is done. Cool. If crust or pie appears to be getting too brown, cover with foil for the remaining baking time.
You can top it with a bit of whipped cream, but even plain, nothing tops this!
Tip: The original recipe stated that the pie should be baked 45 to 50 minutes in a preheated 350-degree gas oven. If an electric oven is used, it may be necessary to add 15 to 20 minutes to the baking time. Begin testing the pie with a toothpick after 45 minutes.
