CHARLOTTE: Paul Finebaum: Can talk, will travel | Sports | The State - Bob Gillespie - “There’s a softer touch to Paul when he’s away from the microphone,” Hallman said. “But even with two personalities – Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde – at the core is truth. He’s very much a ‘truth will prevail’ guy. “He still doesn’t care if anyone he covers likes him personally because, at the end of the day, it’s about the truth.” Hallman paused, and added: “That, and making it entertaining.” How will he do that? “No one knows yet how it will work,” Finebaum said, “other than I’ve been encouraged, by both sides (SEC and ESPN) to be myself. They say, ‘We hired you because of what you’ve done. We don’t want to change that.’ ”
Shutdown delays U.S.-China Symposium - Dothan Eagle - The lingering federal government shutdown has forced a delay in the U.S.-China Manufacturing Symposium which was to be held in Dothan. Dothan Mayor Mike Schmitz said Wednesday that officials plan to reschedule the symposium – originally set for Nov. 10-12 -- until a date in March. Schmitz said no specific date has been set, but said firm dates could be announced as soon as Thursday. - The delay is due to a halt in the often-lengthy process of validating visas for hundreds of Chinese manufacturers and businessmen who were expected to travel to the United States for the symposium. Schmitz said that even if the government resumed normal operations in just a couple of days, it would not be enough time to process all of the visas.
Condoleezza Rice is ridiculously overqualified to serve on the college football playoff committee. - Slate.com - Amanda Hess - Guys. Guys. Let us remove our feet from our mouths, and also our heads from our asses, and take a good, long look at what’s actually transpiring on the turf. Two teams of rivals are competing to outsmart, outmaneuver, and overpower the other, invade their territory, and gain access to a preciously guarded zone. The committee will be responsible for reviewing each squad's battle history, assessing their strengths and weaknesses, predicting the outcomes of potential conflicts, and ranking them according to their relative power on a national scale. It’s pretend war. Who could possibly be up for such a task? Maybe a person who has served as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State?
