NFL to review train station mess after SB

By Jane McManus | ESPNNewYork.com

NEW YORK -- After all the anticipation of a mass transit Super Bowl, thousands of Super Bowl attendees were stuck waiting for New Jersey Transit trains for hours after Sunday's game ended.

The New York/New Jersey Host Committee underestimated by half the number of riders who would use the train to get to the game, and those 28,000 strained capacity and set a new record for single-day traffic on the line.

"We've got a couple of things that we will Amazon Deal and obviously try to improve on," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said before he introduced Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll at Monday morning's press conference, alluding to the challenges.

NFL executive vice president Eric Grubman addressed specific questions after the press conference.

"When something is done for the first time, you don't really know what's going to happen," he said.

Grubman provided the same kind of postgame comments after the blackout in New Orleans and a construction fiasco that meant seats weren't installed in Dallas.

"For the people who were inconvenienced and delayed, it was no doubt very frustrating," Grubman said. "Probably there was anxiety because people's dreams are to get to the Super Bowl when they want to get to the Super Bowl and how they want to get to the Super Bowl.

"But if you look at the big picture of the NY/NJ presentation, I think it is one part among a very big picture that was terrific."

Early last week, the host committee was asked about the Secaucus Junction. It has faced crowding before and after regular-season games, but double-decker buses were brought to accommodate the extra capacity needed.

It turns out the NFL expected many more people to arrive by charter buses. The league had 11,000 parking passes for cars and had another 12,000 arrive via pre-sold Fan Express shuttles. With 1,100 bus permits sold, Grubman said the numbers added up to the 80,000 fans expected on Sunday.

"When I do the math, with the number of permits and passes that were sold to vehicles that could accommodate multiple people -- really rough numbers 1,100 buses, those buses are of different sizes -- if they hold between 40 and 50 people and they're fully occupied, do the math," Grubman said. "So 50,000-plus in a bus expected."

Not all the train riders bought tickets ahead of time, but with no other way of getting to the stadium -- cabs were not permitted and no one could access the stadium on foot -- the train was the only way for remaining fans to arrive and, more importantly, leave.

After the game, NJT spokesperson William Smith said extra buses were dispatched from Secaucus to MetLife, which then transported fans to the Port Authority bus station in Manhattan. Grubman said there had been 100 such buses stationed in Secaucus in the eventuality they were needed to get people to the game, but they ended up being used instead for the return trip.

The last train left MetLife station at 12:45 a.m. ET, Grubman said.

There was a brief but intense delay that kept early riders from getting to trains right away, and a few patrons passed out waiting in a hot Secaucaus corridor. Grubman explained that more people arrived for the early train than they anticipated.

"There was no service until that first train and people left Penn Station much earlier than they needed to," Grubman said. "So you had a queue forming that filled up the lobby of Seacaucus. That's my understanding. Then when people who were on the trains from Penn Station and other places in New Jersey arrived in New Jersey anticipating that they'd get that first train, they ran into a wall of people so that created the first unpleasant anxiety-filled wait."

Grubman said they would evaluate the situation in order to prevent similar incidents at future Super Bowls.

As snow fell outside the building Monday, Goodell alluded to the fact that the last part of Super Bowl travel could be more difficult for the fans who came to New York and New Jersey.

"Obviously our work continues today as we work to get our fans back out of town and back home," Goodell said.

The MLB offseason's best signings and trades don't always include the biggest names.

So, apologies to Clayton Kershaw and Robinson Cano, who are both undeniably among the best players in all of baseball. However, Kershaw's $215 million haul and Cano's $240 million payday are simply too exorbitant to be described as the Amazon Deal Online of the offseason.

The list does include some top-tier free agents who scored payouts well above $100 million. There's also room in the rankings for an array of lower-profile players who could prove to be absolute bargains.

With those considerations in mind, here's a power ranking of the MLB offseason's 25 best signings and trades.

Book News: Amazon Wants To Ship Products Before You Even Buy Them

• amazon books has patented "anticipatory package shipping," a system that ships products before customers have actually bought them - based on what it predicts they will buy. The Verge explains: "Amazon plans to box and ship products it expects customers to buy preemptively, based on previous searches and purchases, wish lists, and how long the user's cursor hovers over an item online. The company may even go so far as to load products onto trucks and have them 'speculatively shipped to a physical address' without having a full addressee."
• E. L. Doctorow tells The New York Timesabout his reading habits: "Sometimes I put books down that are good but that I see too well what the author is up to. As you practice your craft, you lose your innocence as a reader. That's the one sad thing about this work."
• Biologist and author Lewis Wolpert has admitted using other writers' work without attribution in two of his books. In a statement quoted in The Observer, Wolpert said: "I acknowledge that I have been guilty of including some unattributed material in my last book to be published, You're Looking Very Well (2011) and in the initial version of my yet unpublished book Why Can't a Woman Be More Like a Man?. This lack of attribution was totally inadvertent and due to carelessness on my part. It in no way reflects on my publishers, Faber and Faber, and I take full responsibility. When downloading material from the internet as part of my research, and coming back to it after a gap of maybe weeks or sometimes months, I simply did not recall that I had not written these passages myself." Wolpert added that he "would never ever knowingly claim someone else's material as my own."

The Best Books Coming Out This Week:

• Richard Powers' Orfeo holds some of the most beautiful music writing you'll ever encounter. In the book, Peter Elds, a composer who spends his evenings playing with DNA in his home lab, is suspected of bioterrorism and goes on the run. He wants "only one thing before he dies: to break free of time and hear the future." Powers is the king of the elegantly unexpected adjective: a stillborn smile, a curt ratatouille, stark raving mod. The finale of Mozart's Jupiter "spills out into the world like one of those African antelopes that fall from the womb, still wet with afterbirth but already running." Powers spoke to NPR's Audie Cornish last week: "The great beauty of being a novelist is that you can spend three or four or five years vicariously pursuing those imaginary Walter Mitty-like lives that you never got to pursue in the real world. I do have a stack of youthful compositions sitting on the bottom of my closet, so it was a great pleasure to spend these years working on this book - not just rediscovering the 20th century and this avant-garde tradition, but also to imagine myself into the life of somebody who sees and hears and feels the world through sound."
• The Poetry of Derek Walcott 1948-2013 spans the Nobel laureate's long career, from 25 Poems, which he published as a teenager, to his latest collection, White Egrets. The collection is edited by the poet Glyn Maxwell, who once wrote of Walcott's poetry: "The verse is constantly trembling with a sense of the body in time, the self slung across metre, whether metre is steps, or nights, or breath, whether lines are days, or years, or tides." Walcott is at his greatest when he writes about the sea - which he does constantly - as in a section from The Prodigal:

"When we were boys coming home from the beach,

it used to be such a thing! The body would be singing

with salt, the sunlight hummed through the skin

and a fierce thirst made iced water

a gasping benediction, and in the plated heat,

stones scorched the soles, and the cored dove hid

in the heat-limp leaves, and we left the sand

to its mutterings, and the long, cool canoes."

5 Cheap Ways to Buy Global Growth in 2014

Jeff Reeves, Editor of InvestorPlace.com

There's a lot of talk about how U.S. stocks have run up a lot in 2013, and that valuations are getting a bit stretched.

Right now the S&P 500 trades for a current P/E of about 19.9 and a forward P/E of 16.3 based on data from Finviz.com. And investors should easily be able to name a few stocks that trade for tremendous earnings multiples - Amazon ( AMZN), Twitter ( TWTR) and Tesla ( TSLA) being the prime examples.

So will the run continue for these stocks? Maybe. After all, multiple expansion is the hallmark of a bull market and its not necessarily a sign of disaster to see high-growth companies trading at big valuations. I mean, AMZN stock is up 44% in the last year and 600% since 2009 with barely a downtick despite trading at a steep premium to earnings.

But if you're an investor who wants to look for some value investments as well as some growth investments, you may have to look overseas for companies trading at deep discounts to earnings, sales or book value.

Here are 5 cheap countries to consider, and the ETFs and stocks that will let you play them - without making a single trade on foreign stock exchanges:

Uncle; The Great Sport Relief Bake Off - TV review

<Deal Nowimg src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2014/1/13/1389616164853/Uncle-011.jpg">

Nephews. I've got a few of them myself, as it happens. When are their birthdays? You've got me there. I know one's is exactly one week after mine. Or exactly one week before, one week away from mine ... Basically I know when my own birthday is. As for their middle names? Hmm ... Sam maybe? After me?

Am I as hopeless as hopeless Andy here in Uncle (BBC3), who's picking up his sister's dweeby son Errol from school for the first time? (I've never done that, I'm afraid). Neither Andy nor Errol is over the moon about the arrangement, but they turn out to be quite good for each other. Well, to start with, Errol saves Andy from killing himself. (Indirectly, and to be honest, Andy's chosen method - battery-operated radio dropped into the bath - would have ended in failure, like everything Andy does. The radio would have died, that's all.) And Andy shows Errol a few things about the world. Like how to drink and drive, and crash a car, and bunk off football to go to a strip club. Plus what love means. Basically it - love - is like walking on water, until you realise you're not walking on water, you're drowning, and then a shark bites your foot, and another bites your testicles ... and it goes on like that until somehow you eventually end up being pooed out by a hyena, love is just a steaming pile of hyena droppings. Ha!

The idea - two unlikely people thrown together against their will - may not be an especially surprising one. Nor is it hard to see where it's going (I'm thinking Andy and Errol might start to get on less badly, perhaps even feel some sort of reluctant affection). The situations they find themselves in aren't always the most original either. Like competitive dads at football practice, abusive to the ref and to other kids - again, not a seam untouched by the comedy writer's pick. But here Andy, not a dad but an uncle of course, is so ashamed by Errol's puniness he disowns him ("What's this, ask-a-stranger-for-water day, get your own water"). He claims another kid, the best footballer, as his, before taking the dad he's trying to impress off to the car to get stoned.

Ha! Again. Uncle doesn't hold back. It's written - by Oliver Refson (who also directs) - with big cojones and imagination. There are loads of good lines. Like: "My dad says that 'musician' is just another word for unemployed." And: "Mummy, Uncle Andy touched my special equipment." As well as lines that make you wince and cross your legs: "I will cut your dick off with a spoon" (Ouch! #DickSpoon).

The two protagonists are great characters, both over the top and a little familiar. We all know Andys and Errols, no? Fabulous, believable performances from comedian/singer/songwriter Nick Helm and young Elliot Spencer-Gillot. Also from Daisy Haggard as Andy and Errol's shambolic sister/mum (love her "shush" to the other people in the library where she's trying to make a phone call). Oh, and Helm breaks into song from time to time, adding a lovely musical madness to proceedings.

Uncle manages to be warm as well as dark and rude. And hilarious. It could well be the thing to fill the (good) comedy void since Him & Her and Toast of London ended. Actually the pilot was on Channel 4, but the former Channel 4 head of comedy took it with him when he moved to the BBC. Better than nicking the stapler.

And it's got me thinking about my own role, as uncle. I need to be more active. So maybe not birthdays and middle names, but at least I can do the odd school pick-up, football practice and maybe an ice-cream. By which I obviously mean "football practice" and "maybe an ice-cream".

Only one of the contestants - former cricketer Michael Vaughan - in The Great Sport Relief Bake Off (BBC2) has anything to do with sport. The others are a couple of actors (Bonnie Wright and Samantha Bond) and a radio DJ (Johnny Vaughan). It doesn't really matter, it's about charity of course. Self-raising money, for Africa.

Vaughan is on lol duty. He has the oven on the wrong setting, the grill setting, for most of the competition. He grills his biscuits and his tarte tatin, and only realises for the final task, his showstopper Stamford Bridge cake.

"This is called Bake Off rather than Grill Off," says Paul Hollywood, getting into the comedy spirit. I don't know, I'm all baked out. Maybe The Great Sport Relief Grill Off isn't such a bad idea. Get Foreman involved - George - he's a sportsman.
