Calling all superstitious Giants fans
We're at the stadium for home games, and we've determined which tailgate foods are lucky and unlucky. Stuffed peppers (or shooters, as some call them) have been banned from the tailgate after too many losses. And even though we've got four, my old man and I have also been sitting in the same exact seats at Giants stadium for the past 25 years. We never switch it up, ever. .
German company to open new plant in Syracuse suburb
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Gov. Eliot Spitzer says a German company that makes compressors for industrial air conditioning and refrigeration equipment will open a new manufacturing facility in suburban Syracuse.
The governor says the Bitzer Scroll plant will employ nearly 300 people in high-end engineering and manufacturing jobs. The plant will open in a former General Motors factory in the town of Salina.
Bitzer officials promise to invest $30 million into the new facility over the next five years.

Bulls banish memories of Saltergate horror show
We have to look at what we do at home with the way that teams come to us. "Now we feel that, with the pace we have up front, we can afford to sit a little deeper and keep a better shape and play on the counter-attack a little more. "It seems to suit us away from home so we just tried to tinker with it a little bit for the home games. Fortunately, we have had a great result today, scored two, kept a clean sheet which always pleases me, and it is a great result for us." Hereford, with their regular central midfield pairing of Ben Smith and Toumani Diagouraga both sidelined due to injury and replaced by Kris Taylor and Sam Gwynne, took the lead from their first real attack. Taylor's cross was flicked on by Clint Easton and Sherjill MacDonald worked the ball past goalkeeper Michael Jordan from close range.
DAVID LAVOIE: Don't take the amenities for granted
HOW easily the lives of those who live in the developed parts of the world can be disrupted. We rely on our amenities and utilities to such an extent that being without them, however briefly, becomes a huge hardship. We have water with which to wash, cook and flush away waste, we have electricity for lights and air-conditioning, we have food on demand, we have shelter. We want for little except, maybe more. But every once in a while a wake-up call comes knocking.
I live in a pleasant set of condominium buildings. Recently, everyone in my building received a notice saying simply: We would like to inform all residents that due to unforeseen repair work to the suction tank, there will be a disruption of water supply from Wednesday until Friday this week.
Three days without running water! No water for cooking! No showers or baths, no hand-washing, no laundry, no way to wash dishes, no way to flush ever-smellier toilets! Catastrophe!
Yet, how many people in our world live this way each and every day of their lives? I had immediate images of women in Africas Sahel walking kilometres a day while balancing huge pots of precious water drawn from a communal well on their heads.
Complainers trying to halt new opportunity
Opportunities come and opportunities go. For years it seemed that more of the opportunities that came to Yuma turned right around and left because something or someone in the mix of it all made it an impossibility for these opportunities to even put a shovel in the ground. Yet the people complained that there was nothing to do in Yuma. They complained they had to go out of town to get what they needed. Then came the Yuma Palms mall. Alas, our problems were solved. We had a choice to shop locally or ... go out of town. Perfect. Yet the people complained. "It's not an indoor mall." "It's too far to walk between stores." "El Centro mall has air conditioning." And the city took the heat for essentially encouraging new business in this growth opportunity. By the amount of traffic at Yuma Palms, it does not appear that people are staying away.
