Puzzle by Tim Wescott, edited by Will Shortz

The internet address letters HTTP, NET, COM, EDU and GOV are found within the 15-letter entries of:

HAVEABONETOPICK (17A. Feel like quarreling about something);

TOTALCOMMITMENT (23A. No halfway effort);

TRUMPEDUPCHARGE (49A. Basis of a false arrest, perhaps);

PLAYINGOVERTIME (61A. Going past the fourth quarter, say).

WWW (40A. Letters after two slashes) is in the dead center of this final crossword puzzle of the year of 2008, which is reviewed in cartoons, along with 2009 -- click HERE.

All the internet address letters are in circles in the electronic version, while in the newspaper, HTTP is in shaded squares, the WWW in unshaded, and the remainder contained in circled squares within the four 15-letter entries. The newspaper version, with the aforementioned variation in squares, gives the interrelated entries clarity and looks great.

Happy New Year!
