Movie sequels are rarely as good as the originals. So don’t think of these openings as sequels, but second acts.

Culture bracket is a ‘wonder’
We figured out why you love March so much. It’s not the basketball, it’s the brackets. We’ve come up with the ultimate sports and pop culture bracket. Sure, it’s a bit random, but it’s also a bit awesome. Here’s a breakdown of some key matchups:
New York
City gives eateries a lesson in ABCs
From Papaya King to Per Se, the city’s 25,000-plus restaurants will have to prominently display large report cards on their cleanliness starting in July.
My Travel

Kyoto’s temples and Geisha culture are legendary, but this city is no slouch when it comes to mixing in a large slice of contemporary, too.

UConn a possibility again for Temple
The irony was not lost on Temple women’s basketball coach Tonya Cardoza.

Jets Lose more than a coin toss
It’s tempting to say only the Jets could sign a future Hall of Fame running back and leave everyone talking about the coin toss they lost. This isn’t the time, though, for a same joke about the Jets.
Devils bust out early, beat Bruins
Devils 3, Bruins 2
Clarkson's two points lead Devils to 3-0 first-period lead. Devils have chance at Atlantic division lead when they host Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

No Dance, but they’re playing
Tommy Amaker was surely something just south of exhausted yesterday afternoon, but the Harvard men’s basketball coach was still smiling.

Holiday makes minutes count
Jrue Holiday knows he is the youngest player in the NBA. The rapidly improving Sixers point guard doesn’t need everyone reminding him about that fact daily.
Philly Sports
Villanova’s new class making huge impact
Villanova started 9-0 in the Big East and the five heralded freshmen were beginning to wonder if the team would ever lose.

Start me up: Nice numbers for Kyle
Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee may have declared Jamie Moyer the front-runner for the fifth slot in the starting rotation, but that won’t deter Kyle Kendrick. His improved arsenal, command and demeanor have all been equally impressive.
