TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Bobby Bowden will coach his final game at Florida State in the Gator Bowl on New Year's Day. Bowl officials said Sunday that Florida State will play 18th-ranked West Virginia, the school Bowden left in 1976 to come to Florida State.

`Christian Science Monitor' `Dan Murphy' A poll released last Friday found a sharp divide between majority Muslim states and other nations on the limits of free speech. When it comes to criticizing religion, Muslim states favor allowing legal sanctions on such “hate speech.” The poll, conducted by World Public Opinion.org, comes as the UN General Assembly prepares [...]

One of our more frequent complaints around here about the Everyday Rewards scheme offered by Woolworths is that it doesn’t include liquor chain Dan Murphy’s, even though Woolworths owns it. That’s about to change, albeit only for the month of December and only for wine. (more…)

Glen Ridge artist Lori Loebelsohn, who designed this year's event logo , was running around Glen Ridge with a camera during the Ashenfelter 8K. Yesterday's race had a great turnout - over 2,000 runners, she says. The annual run, organized by Dan Murphy, raises beaucoup bucks for the Glen Ridge Educational fund. Last year, the race brought in over $25,000! Lori writes: I didn't run, but it was fun...

This is another cool climate ripper. The Austins Geelong Shiraz 2005 has had a presence here in Brunswick now for the past six months and as long as Uncle Dan’s keep stocking it, will feature for some time yet. In the glass this wine has a very deep garnet colour with no real distinction in the hue. The nose throws off plenty of complexity with licorice and rum raisin being predominant. The palate...

I made a case for bringing in Garrett Atkins as the platoon partner for Dan Murphy. The biggest problem most people had was that if the Mets traded for Atkins, they would have to give the Rockies something and then pay him around 7MM through arbitration. After the year Atkins had many weren't willing to give him that much money and it appears the Rockies can't find anyone to deal with. If Colorado...

The regular readers of this blog are well aware of my constant avoision of anything starting with Shiraz and ending with Barossa on the label. Yes, I am a lush when it comes to Pinot Noir, aren’t we all? And then there is Champagne; am I not human, do I not bleed when cut? It is true that I have been called a lot of things over the journey, but Shylock is not one of them. It was a conversation...

Last week I recommended Garrett Atkins for a spot on our team , a possible upgrade over Fernando Tatis as the back-up corner infielder who might end up beating out Dan Murphy at 1B. Most of the people I spoke to about the idea either liked it or weren't against but were leery of his cost. That appears to be the same issue the Rockies are running into, apparently Atkins is to expensive going into arbitration...
