36 Hours in Houston
4. Breakfast Por Favor, 9 a.m.Come with a newspaper and be prepared to stand in line at Laredo Taqueria, where the breakfast tacos ($2.25) run from egg and potato to chicharrón (pork skin). Start to burn some of those calories with a stroll through Buffalo Bayou Park, which has just emerged from a five-year overhaul and has running paths, bike trails and playgrounds. 5. A Fine Display, 10:30 a.m.With a vast art collection and roster of special exhibitions that vividly reflect the city’s cu..>> view originalHall of Fame voters definitely blocked T.O. for being “so disruptive”
APIt was widely believed that the Hall of Fame voters passed over receiver Terrell Owens ostensibly because of his reputation for divisiveness, even if the truth is that they were merely respecting a de facto waiting line that called for Marvin Harrison making it before Owens. On Thursday, one of the Hall of Fame voters admitted that the reason for T.O.’s omission was his inability to work and play well with others. “I’ll take you inside the room on this, and it was the second longest discussi..>> view originalReport: No decision on LeSean McCoy charges expected Thursday
APBills running back LeSean McCoy is waiting to find out what, if any, criminal charges he’ll be facing as a result of a fight at a Philadelphia nightclub over the weekend. According to a report from Mark Schwartz of ESPN, those charges aren’t likely to come on Thursday. Schwartz, quoting a “high-ranking Philadelphia police official,” reports that prosecutors want to be thorough in their evaluation of the police report and other evidence before making a decision about how to proceed. Reports o..>> view originalOn Java, a Creative Explosion in an Ancient City

Credit Justin Mott for The New York Times After the tropical thunder rolls across south Java comes the rain, and each drop has a character. Some sweep across the bamboo roof in high-pitched volleys, and some plop into the puddles one by one, luminous, like silver. Others hit the dried banana leaves with a solid, resonant thunk. In early Java, they heard music in these sounds and..>> view originalThe Blitz Is Back! (Maybe)
Bringing the Heat Over the past couple seasons, the championship belt for League’s Best Defense belonged to the Seahawks, a unit defined by a relatively conservative approach. Seattle thrived on a steady diet of Cover 3 and the standard front four rushing the passer. The thought was that if the Seahawks could bother the quarterback with only their down linemen—they led the league in pressure rate in 2013 despite blitzing at the 25th-highest clip—that meant more bodies flooding the secondary and..>> view originalHenrik Lundqvist and Rangers Stifle Penguins
Henrik Lundqvist stopped 34 shots for his third shutout of the season and the 58th of his career, leading the Rangers past the host Pittsburgh Penguins, 3-0, on Wednesday night. Lundqvist, who recorded his 27th win of the season, passed Martin Brodeur as the goaltender with the most victories in his first 11 N.H.L. seasons. Lundqvist has won nine of his last 12 starts and has allowed two goals or fewer in 13 of his last 18 appearances.Kevin Hayes, Dominic Moore and Jesper Fast scored for the R..>> view originalReport: Detroit interested in Columbus d-man Tyutin
Bruce Boudreau has one of those “problems you like to have” in Anaheim. Much of his club’s recent surge is due to excellent play from both netminders — John Gibson and Frederik Andersen — but after alternating starts for the last five games, Boudreau will give Andersen his second straight nod when the Ducks take on the Jackets in Columbus. The Danish netminder is full value for consecutive starts. Andersen made 28 saves and allowed just one goal in a win over Philadelphia last time out and has ..>> view originalThe 5 Best Whitney Houston Live Performances

Martin Mayhew - Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports It's not exactly a shakeup, but it is a move. Former Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew has been added to the New York Giants front office. Mayhew takes the place of Matt Harriss, who was hired by the Lions, and will carry the title of director of football operations/special projects. Mayhew was general manager of the Lions from 2008 until he was fired last November with the Lions a disappointing 1-7. He had been part of the Detroi..>> view originalCelebrating the Least Influential Element of the Very Influential ...
The Silence of the Lambs, which hit theaters 25 years ago Sunday, was one of the most influential films in recent memory – you can see its bloody fingerprints on pretty much every serial killer thriller that followed, on film and television, good (Seven, Zodiac), bad (Jennifer 8, Hannibal Rising), and indifferent (Copycat, The Bone Collector). But much of its success was unpredicted, and unprecedented; it’s one of only three films to win the “Big Five” Academy Awards of Best Picture, Best Direc..>> view original
