• 6:35 PM Sheila on 11 fans greet Colts on return to Indy

  Ray, sorry you're hurting. We Pats fans remember what that feels like. But "you people" is always a red flag. The Indy Star reporter who wrote the story probably knew about the snow even without a phone call, don't you think? If the Colts had won, do you think people would have stayed home? Pats fans wouldn't.

• 6:28 PM Ray on 11 fans greet Colts on return to Indy

  1. A spokesman for the Colts told Indy media that they were closing off the arrival to fans and that the team would not be available to fans. 2. Interstate 70 and other highways around the airport were ice-covered and hazardous with blowing and drifting snow. Multiple vehicles were off the road. The State Police issued a travel advisory and asked people to stay home. 3. Shelia, ONE phone call by any reporter could have turned up the same information. What's wrong with you people that you can't do even rudimentary reporting?

• 3:52 AM Tom on 1906 San Francisco traffic video, shot from the front of a streetcar

  For relevant assistance in getting an ACCURATE date for the so-called 1906 (San Francisco) traffic video, please refer to the web site below for a factual perspective of automobiles produced during the first two decades of the 20th century. Several vehicles in the video date from ca. 1908-1913 or later. So much for the "1906" date....... http://www.thehenryford.org/exhibits/showroom/1908/photos.html

  Now that was a good year for SB party food, brandi. No fried breading on bread that year!

  You can root for the Saints just like us Colts fans rooted for the Giants when they beat the Patriots for the Super Bowl.

  The photo was chosen because it's the copyright-free image -- and the only image -- at the Wikipedia page for this sandwich, which doesn't express an opinion about it. (Clicking the image takes you to that page, btw.)

  While it's traditional for these sandwiches to be oversized for the bun, the one pictured above is not typical, but chosen for sensation. The pork tenderloin is actually a delicious sandwich.

• 3:49 PM Joe Alfandre on Bainbridge, Ga. celebrated R.I. -- now a Cranston man remembers Bainbridge in the '40s

  Mr. Hincks may have known my dad, Jack Alfandre, stationed as an instructor at the same time. He also married a Bainbridge, Georgia peach, Laurene Powell. They married in Bainbridge in 1944 and lived a few years before returning to my dad's hometown of Washington, DC. We returned every summer for reunions with my Grandmama and cousins until mid-'60s. There is a memorial on the square to a group of high school students who died in a hotel fire in Atlanta before the war. It is a bible under glass turned to a scripture. My mother's sister, Ruth is one of those honored. Joe Alfandre

• 7:05 AM Sheila on 'Word cloud' of Obama's State of the Union speech

  Inaccurate, Contrarian. He said "we" more than twice as often as "I." Why make up facts when counting is so easy?

• 7:15 PM Contrarian View on 'Word cloud' of Obama's State of the Union speech

  The Obama word cloud leaves out the word, "I". If that were included, it would dominate the page.

• 9:35 PM sheila on Haiti editor's dilemma: Hope versus reality

  Pat, I hope that the long-term outcome will be a rebuilt Haiti. Concerned people can give more than blankets, they can give that broken place another chance. As for the image, T.S. Eliot wrote, "Human kind cannot bear much reality." I think there's value in showing that even the cruelest reality can have moments of joy.

• 8:00 PM Joe Shea on North Florida newspaper editor threatened over opinions

  I think it's a good thing when reporters are required to display personal courage; it happens less often than we might think. Yet around the world, where correspondents are risking their lives to cover wars, assassinations, official corruption and drug cartels, the murder of journalists is at the highest level ever. It's regrettable that most are so safe and secure that they can routinely work a 9-5 or 3-11 job and never once get anyone angry, never reveal anything controversial, never run afoul of an advertiser. America is more interesting and complicated than most reportng makes it, and when we find ourselves emdangered or just harassed, we know we are doing something right - and what our special protection in the Bill of Rights was intended to achieve. My reporters have been threatened by secret police, mobbed by rioters, fired, etc. for printing what they belive in; if you can say that, you can know your work and your life has been meaningful.

• 3:49 PM pat on Haiti editor's dilemma: Hope versus reality

  Sheila, I feel depressed and terribly helpless, no matter what kind of image is being presented. I kept thinking about the Tsunami and my time in Phuket and nearby areas. I did not feel a sense of despair then. There were hospitals, food, water and readily available aids of all types. I could not even fathom the amount of pain and suffering the Haitian are experiencing.. and the long term outcome of this catastrophe

• 1:37 AM Keir on Compelling read: The unmaking of the John Edwards campaign (Updated)

  I found those ten parts absolutely mesmerising, with the astonishing set-pieces accentuated by the accompanying illustrations. Elizabeth Edwards's baring herself at the aeroport was especially cringe-inducing (in paragraph after paragraph of such sensations) and one can only wonder how they can be live in the public eye and find themselves willing prisoners of their enormous, self-created bubbles.

  Sorry to hear that Majel passed away. I loved her as nurse Chapel, Troi's mom, and the computer voice in TNG/Voyager. Rest in Peace Majel:) To Chas above: I just get done reading the article above and just like any other article about some celebrity who passes away - there has to be a friggin JERK who has to get their two worthless cents in. Congrats Chas - YOU are that friggin jerk today.

• 11:04 AM Sheila Lennon on Google Wave: The next big thing looks like too much information, and too little

  The previous comment on Google Wave is from a spammer who quoted me. Since I've forgotten I'd written those exact words last year, for a minute I thought this was a spammer who was actually saying something. No such luck. Spam link deleted, the echo remains.

• 1:08 AM busted on Google Wave: The next big thing looks like too much information, and too little

  Missing for me -- as with all the closed circles of social networking -- is the thrill of discovery, the wild, wild, Web, replaced by the banal clutter of "friends' " telegrams about their whereabouts at all times.
