| Advantage to Weir in first round
MOBILE, Ala. -- Colt Brennan has much to prove to NFL teams no matter how remarkable his college numbers. Besides the normal quarterback indicators like accuracy, arm strength and decision-making, Brennan also must show he can operate a prostyle offense and master the often overlooked task of collecting snaps under center. The record-setting Hawaii quarterback will help lead the South team in today's Senior Bowl, capping a weeklong audition for NFL coaches, scouts and executives. The high-pressure circumstances would seem likely to make Brennan jittery. Instead, he was the guy often seen in the players' hotel, chatting on a cell phone or talking with reporters. Typically with a smile on his face. "This is a great experience for me, because I'm kind of the big question mark as far as the quarterbacks in the draft," Brennan said.

A local Thanksgiving: Your feast can be harvested close to home
After all, most of the traditional dishes associated with the feast are harvest crops here in Western Pennsylvania. But how local is local? When planning this dinner, or any local meal, I make decisions based on my own preferences using the following as a model. When you toss a stone into a pool of still water, you see ripples emanate from the center. Make the innermost ring local and seasonal with perhaps a 100-mile radius. If that is not available, go the next ring, organic and seasonal. Third ring, conventional and seasonal. Fourth ring, artisanal from anywhere (although this could probably be in the first ring, too). Fifth ring, ethnic specialties. Sixth ring, pantry staples. These might include seasonings, spices, flour, sugar, extra virgin olive oil, coffee, chocolate, citrus, nuts and whatever is important to you and your family.
