Jordan Stewart's a star of the future
While Northern Ireland are facing Turkey in the little known city of Adana this evening Jordan Stewart will be relaxing at home in south Belfast.
His mind will be dominated by thoughts of wearing a different green shirt tomorrow afternoon, rather than events a couple of thousand miles away.
Making an impact in the Glentoran first team is all that the 18-year-old is thinking about at present.
Small in stature, Stewart has a big reputation at the east Belfast club and if Glens manager Eddie Patterson's expectations come true that will all change in the future.
It will be at Windsor Park rather than the Oval that the teenage protege will be doing his stuff, but before Glentoran fans start to worry that one of their most talented youngsters is about to head off to Linfield, Patterson is boldly predicting that an international career awaits for Stewart – provided he maintains his early potential.
"Jordan is such a talent and if he continues to improve he will be one for the future for Michael O'Neill – without a doubt," said Patterson.
Not prone to making such bold statements, when Patterson says somethings like that you know that it's not just cheap talk, especially as he sees Stewart at close quarters in training every week.
And the impression he made on the manager led to the teenagers being fast-tracked into the Glens first team even before Patterson anticipated he would.
Stewart didn't figure in the Europa League matches against KR of Iceland in July – in fact he wasn't even registered with Uefa to play in the games.
He was on Patterson's radar though and just days after scoring a dramatic late equaliser for Stephen Craigan's Northern Ireland under-19s against Scotland in August he was quickly brought into the first team for his debut against Glenavon just days later in the third league match of the season.
The next game was a Big Two match against Linfield. With the game locked at 0-0 Patterson turned to his bench and although the more experienced Jordan Hughes was there, it was Stewart that he threw on. Although the game finished deadlocked that was a decision which showed a degree of faith in the promising youngster.
"He was with the reserves all last season and we brought him up to the first team at the start of the season," said Patterson (pictured).
"The idea was to get him used to the tempo of first team football and get used to the first team players around him and what we would do.
"He has adapted to that brilliantly."
Stewart really announced his arrival on the big stage last month when he score two goals in the Glens 4-3 win over Ballymena United at the Showgrounds.
"He is an exciting wee player," said Patterson after that game.
Before he could leave that day Stewart was quickly handed a pen to sign a new two-and-a-half year contract with the Glens.
That chain of events is not quite as romantic as it might sound though.
The player's parents had been brought to the game by Patterson with the intention of tying up the deal anyway, such had been his contribution before then.
It just so happened that he picked the perfect day to justify the manager's faith and belief in him.
Patterson has put plenty of faith in young players during his career. It's the way the Glens have to go, but saying that budget cuts are only reason that youth is getting it's chance would be doing a disservice to the manager's own record.
He has previous in that area.
It was Patterson who brought Liam Boyce into the Cliftonville first team when he was only 17, before he headed to Werder Bremen and made four senior international appearances for Northern Ireland.
He was also responsible for the early development of Rory Donnelly, handing the striker his debut for the Reds a full year before he was snapped up by Swansea City – who were under the management of Brendan Rodgers at the time.
Glentoran's record of preparing players for international football isn't too bad either.
Andy Smith actually won most of his caps while still at the Oval, but before him Andy Kirk and Stuart Elliott made international debuts shortly after leaving the east Belfast club for full-time football in Scotland.
There are hopes that Stewart could be the next one, but as a tricky customer, Patterson fears that he could be targeted by defenders
"The way he played against Dungannon Swifts last week, if you were playing against him you'd have wanted to just kick him into the stand," said Patterson.
"He has a good stature about him, people bounce off him and he's a very strong wee boy.
"He's just a talent and we're delighted to have him at the club."

Should Pete Rose Be Forgiven?News at Home
So Pete Rose has finally admitted that he bet on baseball while he was managing the Cincinnati Reds. His confession and latest autobiography My Prison Without Bars are part of a well orchestrated campaign to convince Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig to reinstate baseball's all-time hits leader, paving the way for his induction into the Hall of Fame. Public opinion polls support Rose, and Commissioner Selig, a former used car dealer never known for his strong principled stands, appears posed to grant the wishes of Rose and his fans.
Before we rush to embrace Rose, however, there remain unanswered questions regarding Rose's gambling, and his actions need to be placed within the larger historical context of wagering by baseball players. For example, what do we make of the fact that Rose has publicly lied to us for fourteen years about his gambling practices. His earlier autobiography now has to be thrown on the trash heap, but we are expected to believe him this time. Many observers believe that dealing with the Rose scandal drove Baseball Commissioner Bart Giamatti to an early grave; while former Baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent insists that Rose has not come clean. According to Vincent, Rose bet on baseball games during his playing career, an admission which is not forthcoming in Rose's new book. Perhaps we will have to wait another fourteen years and Rose's next autobiography to get the full story.
Those unacquainted with baseball history may wonder what the Rose controversy is all about; after all, no one is accusing Rose of betting against his own team and throwing games. Of course, the fear is that a manager or player might fall deeply into debt with gamblers and be tempted to influence games in order to pay off obligations. And baseball in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries had a reputation for athletes conspiring with gamblers to fix games. These allegations ranged from the notorious Hal Chase to future Hall of Famers such as Tris Speaker and Ty Cobb.
Speculation regarding baseball and gambling culminated in the 1919 World Series in which eight players from the highly-favored Chicago White Sox were accused of making arrangements with gamblers to throw the games and allow the Cincinnati Reds to capture the championship. The White Sox players were never convicted of these actions in a court of law, for the confessions given before a grand jury disappeared and were not used in the public trial. The acquitted players, however, were banned from baseball for life by newly appointed Baseball Commissioner Kennesaw Mountain Landis, a federal judge who had earned a reputation for being tough with radicals such as the IWW and wanted to make an example of the so-called Black Sox. The banned players included Shoeless Joe Jackson, a semiliterate South Carolina mill hand whom many insist was the greatest hitter in the history of the game, and third baseman Buck Weaver, whose alleged crime was not reporting the conversations between gamblers and his teammates. Both Jackson and Weaver enjoyed good performances in the 1919 Series, and some of Jackson 's defenders believe that the outfielder may not have completely understood his dealings with the gamblers.
In his seminal study of the Black Sox scandal, Eight Men Out, Eliot Asinof argues that Jackson and his teammates were driven to fix the 1919 Series because they were economically exploited by White Sox owner Charles Comiskey. This interpretation was also essential to director John Sayles's fine film version of Eight Men Out . Such charges of exploitation, however, hardly extend to the career of Pete Rose, who became one of baseball's early lucrative free agents.
In defense of Pete Rose, it is true that he has an addiction. The first step in getting help for an addiction is recognition that one has a problem. Rose has been able to assume some responsibility for his gambling problems, but it is not apparent that he has been completely honest with himself and the public.
Perhaps Rose's confessions merit some forgiveness. But if Rose's qualifications for Cooperstown are going to be reevaluated, it is high time that we also reconsider Joe Jackson's credentials for the Hall of Fame and posthumously lift Buck Weaver's banishment. Rose's aggressive play and accomplishments on the field may justify his enshrinement in the Baseball Hall of Fame, but his personal life and addictions do not bode well for his return to the sport. Could we really trust Pete Rose to manage another team? I wouldn't bet on it.

I think that Pete Rose has no reasonof staying out of the Hall of Fame. He is one of the greatest baseball players who ever lived. His decision of bettingon baseball was the wrong one but should nt interfere with his personal pro-baseball career.

Just a game? Just a game! Egads, man! . . .
Mike Yak - 1/14/2004
That sounds like a pretty cool idea; like a gold tier, silver tier and bronze tier or something.
Of course then we'd be debating on who deserves which tier.
Well, it is just a game afterall...
Derek Catsam - 1/14/2004
John, Mike --
On Dewey: I agree. What I loved about him is that he got steadily better as his career progressed. Throughout the 1970s he was a great field (multiple gold glove and made one of the greatest World series catches of all time) but mediocre hit type. But by the 1980s he was a legitimate hitter, a power threat, and a clear leader on that team. I absolutely would love to see him in the Hall of Fame.
I find it perplexing, in fact, that people seem to want to limit the numbers now of people getting in, even though there are similar ratios across the history of the hall. If we start seriously reducing numbers what we'll get is a pig in the python that represents the halcyon glory days that never were, sanctifying the 1920s-1960s at the expense of the much better athletes and probably better players of the 1970s to the present.
As for Ripken and longevity,look, I'll repeat it since the point seems to be lost: Ripken belongs in the Hall of Fame. But one can be a Hall of Famer, and in that context still be overrated. I love Bob Ryan's idea of a tiered hall of fame, whereby you have a pyramid with three or four levels. At the top would be your Ruth, Williams, Aaron, Mays, Bonds, Young etc. types. Next tier might be a Schmidt, Ott, Clemente, etc. level, and so on. This way you can maintain a modicum of exclusivity, can still keep on letting people who are deserving of such honors in, and maybe even adjust for inflation of past players who are now ensconsed such as Reese and Sutton and Mazeroski who may stake a claim to greatness but it is a relative one. Surely this setup, while it may have flaws, will also give the Murphy, Rice, Evans, Morris crowd their day in the sun without worrying us overly if they belong next to Robinson and Ford.
John Kipper - 1/14/2004
Mr. Catsm, on occassion, you can be an icredtably insightful poster. Still, I wish that you, as a Bosox fan, would be more vocal in support of Dewey.
Even so, you are right. The Sox might have traded Rice for Sutton and a pitcher to be named later (preferably Vanzuela or Herschisher, but never straight up.
Also kudos for remembering Dale Murphy, who had at least two seasons of incredible offensive dominance. And, he was a nice guy, too.
Mike Yak - 1/13/2004
I think you are dismissing the fact that the longevity and stamina of Ripken are, in and of itself, a great feat of athleticism. How can you compare a sprinter to a marathon runner? Because there are guys who run faster miles, does that lessen the accomplishment of a great marathoner? Most players are/were simply not physically capable of Ripken's longevity. You seem to think that he merely refused to quit and any player could have done the same. True enough, in the last couple of years, Ripken may otherwise have been sat were it not for the streak, but in my mind, that does not decrease the accomplishment.
There are a lot more folks who can claim Rice's numbers than Ripken's stamina. We don't know how long ARod, Nomar or Jeter's careers will be...but, I'd agree they are a new breed of shortstop that Ripken does not compare favorably too on any given day. And of course, baseball today is much more offensive than throughout the bulk of Ripken's career. Player's are bigger, stronger...it is nearly impossible to compare player's equally across different generations.
I am actually surprised that Ripken's and Rice's batting stats are that close. In retrospect, if you were a franchise, would you rather have Rice in the outfield for 16 years or Ripken, at shortstop, for 24?? I agree Jerry Rice was the dominant hitter of the league for a few years, 77-79 for sure. Saying he was the most feared hitting through 1986 is a definite stretch. Then again, Ripken was the MVP twice and Rice only once. Notwithstanding, there is another part of a baseball game called Defense...where Ripken not only played perhaps the most critical position at shortstop, but also won 2 gold gloves. Rice played outfield and never won a gold glove.
Jim Rice was an outstanding player, no doubt, and probably worthy of induction---but Cal Ripken he is not.
Derek Catsam - 1/12/2004
How many of us have never missed a day of work in 18 years? Well, is that at all relevant? How many of ua are paid in the millions to play baseball 3 hours a day 162 times a year? His streak is a great thing and probably warrants his inclusion in the hall, but among those in the Hall, Ripken is overrated. By the time their careers are done, ARod, Nomar and much as I hate to say it jeter will all of surpoassed Ripken -- at this moment any of those three is better than Ripen ever was at any gioven time in his career.
As for Ripken v. Rice, here is an average season for each:
Stat: Rice Ripken
Hits: 163 152
Doubles: 25 28
Triples: 5 2
Home Runs: 25 20
Hmmmmm . . . . . Shall we look at batting average? Slugging percentage? Again, Ripken's place is reasonably secure, but to say Jim Rice does not belong, well, then who from the 1970s does?
By the way -- Don Sutton pitched for 23 years and surpassed 20 wins exactly once. This is the ultimate example of a case where has at any point the Dodgers or any other of Sutton's teams called the Red Sox and said "we'll trade Sutton even up for Rice" they'd have heard a busy signal on the other end. Further, at any point would anyone have traded Dale Murphy, Jack Morris, Catfish Hunter, Bruce Sutter Steve Garvey, or Dwight Evans even up for Don Sutton? Not a chance on earth.
Derek Catsam - 1/12/2004
These other crimes are not relevant. Pete Rose broke the one that the baseball rules explicitly state warrants lifetime suspension. he did it. He's now admitted to it. Is Pete Rose above the rules of the game? Mr. Burns seems to believe that he is. If Selig or anyone else grants him exemption, that's fine, i guess. Until that moment, Pete Rose broke the most important and well known rule in all of baseball and then he proceeded to lie about it for more than a decade. Then on top of that he says his makeup doesn't allow him to be sorry or apologetic. Bah.
Stu Burns - 1/12/2004
Don Sutton won 324 games (twelfth all-time), pitched 58 shutouts (tenth all-time) and struck out 3,574 batters (seventh all-time). Jim Rice accomplished nothing comparable to this.
Stu Burns - 1/12/2004
I appreciate the concerns of folks distressed by Pete Rose's amoral behavior, and agree that he has not been true to the highest ideals of the game. However, in the context of the Baseball Hall of Fame, such behavior is not unique. For example, currently enshrined are:
*A convicted drug smuggler (Orlando Cepeda);
*Another player convicted of taking drugs across international borders (Ferguson Jenkins, who was also given a "lifetime suspension" later revoked in arbitration);
*A player who bragged about beating a man to death with a gun butt (Ty Cobb);
*Several players who played for a team owned by an illegal gambler (Stachel Paige, Josh Gibson, Cool Papa Bell, Oscar Charleston, and Judy Johnson);
*An enshrinee who urinated in the clubhouse shower after being repeatedly asked not to do so (Rogers Hornsby; this may not be against the rules of baseball per se, but it certainly is not in keeping with the highest examples of the game).
Further, I doubt that lovers of the game have to worry about Rose managing again. Baseball's general managers have not earned a reputation for sublime judgement during my lifetime, but hiring Pete Rose to manage seems beyond even their capacity for error. There are, however, several capacities in which Rose may be particularly useful to the game. For example, Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt will be managing minor league ball this season and would like his young players to hear about the dangers of gambling from someone who has been there. Under the terms of his suspension, Rose is prohibited from doing this.
Finally, I would argue that Rose has been punished. He has been banned from baseball for fourteen years (correct me if I am off on the dates). Baseball should reinstate Rose like it reinstated Mantle and Mays in 1985.
John Kipper - 1/11/2004
I certainly agree with you about Rice. And I would also propose Dewey, Dwight Evans. But I would also insist upon Steve Garvey. By the way, how did Don Sutton get in? Damned if I know.
Mike Yak - 1/9/2004
I agree with all of that and then some. How many of us can say we haven't missed a day of work in 18 years? And I would venture that most of us don't have the physically demanding job of a professional athlete. Heck, even as a twice a week athlete, I've been sidelined nearly every year with minor injuries. The streak alone is just mind boggling--then to think for 18 years this guy played one of the most demanding positions in baseball and was one of the best at his position.
Jesse Lamovsky - 1/9/2004
Cal Ripken had limited range at what has always been a defensive position (which probably helped his fielding percentage). He's in the Hall of Fame because he played consistently well for a long time, got 3,000 hits, and played in the most consecutive games. With his numbers, he'd be in no matter what position he played. He's not a Hall of Fame shortstop in the sense of Ozzie Smith, who meets the criteria of dominance with his glove alone.
Rickey Henderson may be hanging around the game for a long time, but he broke his stolen base record in 1990, his twelfth season. It took Lou Brock nineteen seasons to set the record. Henderson more than worthy of induction.
Bowie Kuhn wasn't under the thumb of the owners? He was a lawyer for them!
Matt Norman - 1/8/2004
I still think it is a big stretch to call Ripken overrated. Even without the streak, his hitting and fielding numbers are very impressive. If Ripken is overrated, then what about someone like Ozzie Smith? If Jim Rice belongs in the Hall, then what about Jose Canseco? I always thought the Hall was for the best of the best. Rose and Ryan are perhaps a bit overrated but there is something to be said for longevity. They were both productive players to the end, and unlike some players (Rickey Henderson), they did not hang around just so they could set more records. I think Goose Gossage did more for the position of relief pitcher than Eck, and the save is one of the most overrated stats in the game. While I am on the soapbox, baseball needs to have a strong commissioner who is not under the thumb of the owners. The Selig business is an embarrassment. The game really could use a Bowie Kuhn or Giamatti.
Jonathan Dresner - 1/8/2004
I'm not going to argue that Cal Ripken was the most productive hitter, but his fielding instincts were extraordinary. His ability to be in the right place at the right time made his fielding look easy, but he also had a remarkable ability to reach, stop and throw out hits that other shorstops would have just watched sail by.
And he was one of the last loyal players: his committment to the Baltimore Orioles and to the Baltimore-Maryland area were unparalleled in modern sports. He was a rare sportsman, a leader, and an extraordinary player. Even if the streak hadn't happened he would have been a Hall of Famer on the first round, but he did, indeed have an unbroken string of played games so long it could have been bar mitzvahed....
But they don't play pro ball here, not even minor league. Too bad. I miss the Orioles, the Red Sox, the Cedar Rapids Kernels (there's nothing quite like A-level ball).....
Jonathan Dresner - 1/8/2004
You are conflating the historical mission of the Hall of Fame with the honors conferred through the Hall of Fame. Pete Rose's career, both fame and notoriety are unquestionably part of the historical record. But he dishonored the game and himself and does not deserve the special honor which goes to those who are elected to the Hall of Fame by writers and peers.
Count me among those who think that a "lifetime" ban should be just that: there should be no consideration of reinstatement during his lifetime. He had the chance to mitigate his guilt in 1989, but instead he's dragged this around for a decade and a half before panicking himself into confession. I'm not impressed.
Mike Yak - 1/8/2004
I think most people would agree that Pete Rose should be prohibited from actively participating in Major League baseball for the rest of his life. I am 100% in favor of that.
What is the purpose of the hall of fame though? From their own mission statement
"Through its mission, the Museum is committed to:
Collecting, through donation, baseball artifacts, works of art, literature, photographs, memorabilia and related materials which focus on the history of the game over time, its players, and those elected to the Hall of Fame.
Preserving the collections by adhering to professional museum standards with respect to conservation and maintaining a permanent record of holdings through documentation, study, research, cataloging and publication.
Exhibiting material in permanent gallery space, organizing on-site changing exhibitions on various themes, with works from the Hall of Fame collections or other sources, working with other individuals or organizations to exhibit loaned material of significance to baseball and providing related research facilities.
Interpreting artifacts through its exhibition and education programs to enhance awareness, understanding and appreciation of the game for a diverse audience.
Honoring, by enshrinement, those individuals who had exceptional careers, and recognizing others for their significant achievements."
Certainly, Pete Rose had an exceptional career. It is the duty of the Hall of Fame to honor that career. As an historical institution, it is incomplete without Pete Rose. It can be argued whether or not he was one of the all-time greats. I believe he was, but sure there may have been those with better years, or better spans. How many people can say that they are the all-time leader in anything though? So, he didn't have as many RBIs as some, or as many HRs or stolen bases, but base hits is what he did, and he did more of it than anyone else, ever.
I don't think his admission is even an issue, he should have been enshrined years ago on the merit of his playing, that is what the Hall is for.
I believed than and believe now that Pete Rose bet on baseball AND I believed then and believe now that he should be enshrined into the Hall of Fame.
Jesse Lamovsky - 1/8/2004
First off, I can't believe anybody is even discussing re-instating Rose to Organized Baseball. That should be completely out of the question.
As for Jim Rice, I might cut his period as the dominant power hitter in baseball down to between 1977 and '79. He had several great years in the '80s but wasn't quite at the same level as he was with the Zimmer-era Red Sox. Another border-line guy whom Rice compares to is Albert Belle, who was the best power hitter in the game with the Indians during the mid-90s, but has no chance at induction because of his corrosive personality (threw a ball at a fan; threw a ball at a photographer; cussed out Hannah Storm; cross body-blocked Fernando Vina; etc.). Any player who can be recognized as the best of his era, for multiple seasons, should at least merit consideration. Rice and Belle both meet this criteria.
I always thought Cal Ripken was overrated as well. Glad someone else does.
Eckersley, to be sure, was not the classic Rollie Fingers-type "fireman". He almost never entered a game before the ninth inning, and he was usually used only in save situations. But he did win nearly 200 games, and he pitched a no-hitter with the Indians, before they traded him to Boston (for Ted Cox!).
Derek Catsam - 1/8/2004
Given their overall numbers I would likely have to agree on Ripken and Rose versus Rice, but I also think that both, while clear Hall of Fame caliber, are overrated (allow me to throw Nolan Ryan into that mix as well.) But Rice was hands down, bar none, no questions asked the most feared power hitter in the league from 1975 to about 1986. His numbers are deflated because he played in an era when the numbers were less gaudy than today, but I'll put Rice's numbers in the five or even ten years of his prime against Rose's or Ripken's any time. Ripken did play a more key position, which is huge, but look at Rice's output from 1975-1981 or so, and tell me which you'd rather have. Rice was surly and difficult with the press or else he'd be in the Hall now.
Eck redefined the modern relief pitcher AND he was a pretty effective starter. That combo makes for a pretty powerful argument. It goes against the Bill James school of relievers, but I'd encourage you to look at Tom Boswell's washington Post piece from yesterday on relievers in the Hall.
Matt Norman - 1/8/2004
Rose was a great all-around baseball player who never had a true position in the field and whose style was much more akin to the dead ball era. That said, on the basis of his playing career he is a first ballot hall of famer, but his banishment from the major leagues should not be lifted just because he is peddling a new book and is now finally willing to admit what everyone has known since 1989. I have no team allegiance but I will say that Cal Ripken and Pete Rose were better ballplayers than Jim Rice. I think the hall's standards have lowered somewhat in recent years because they want to induct at least one person picked by the writers each year. There is no way Eck is a first ballot hofer. He was an above average starter and a great relief pitcher for five years.
Derek Catsam - 1/8/2004
Jessie --
I love your final assertion, which many would believe to be apostasy but which I think has more than an essence of truth. It alomost makes me sick to say it, but Rose is a lot more like Yaz than Cobb. great numbers accumulated as a result of endurance as much as greatness. (But Yaz had 1967, a year which came several years before my birth but is part of my Sox fan DNA.) And as long as we are pissing people off, he is also remarkably akin to Ripken, another overrated fellow. But Ripken at least had those MVP years and he helped save baseball in 1995. So he's got that going for him.
Mitch Glassell - 1/8/2004
It is fine with me to put Pete in the Hall. The day after he dies.
Jesse Lamovsky - 1/8/2004
Mr. Catsam pretty much nailed it.
After all, Buck Weaver still hasn't been reinstated, and never was involved in the Series plot (the details of which are still pretty vague to this day), didn't take a dime, and played his butt off, better than most of the White Sox who weren't involved at all. Joe Jackson hit .375 in the Series he was supposed to be "throwing", was twenty times the player Rose was, and he's still out. Shufflin' Phil Douglas was thrown out of baseball for simply approaching another player about throwing a game. Pete Rose placed bets on the team he was managing, in his own clubhouse. For years! And just because he says in 2003 what everyone already knew in 1989, this means something?
What it means is that, whether Pete Rose is still gambling or not, there's no doubt he's still an incorrigible glory-whore. It's too bad. Eckersley (pitched a no-hitter with the Indians) and Molitor are two deserving entrants, but they're playing second fiddle, and that's a shame. And to a guy who committed what, since 1920, has been the recognized Cardinal Sin of baseball.
Not to dump on him too much, but Pete Rose is not one of the all-time greats, despite his record. He hit singles, lots and lots of singles, for a very long time. He's got the 4,256, yeah, and that's impressive and all, but he played 24 seasons and:
- never had over 82 RBIs in a season
- never hit more than 16 home runs in a season
- never stole more than 20 bases in a season
Hall-of-Famer career? Yes. All-time great hitter? Not hardly. Rose isn't in Tony Gwynn's class, let alone Cobb's.
Oscar Chamberlain - 1/8/2004
Forgive the tangent, but I am more and more leary of the word "forgiveness," particularly when it comes in a headline.
Does foregiveness=forgetting? Never, despite the old bromide, "forgive and forget." However, if that is rephrased as "forgive and let go," it has some wisdom, particularly when it comes to relatives or friends.
Does forgiveness in the case of a felony mean letting the felon out of jail? Sometimes it seems to be the case, but it does not have to be. I can imagine someone forgiving the person who murdered a loved one, and yet not wanting the felon let out to commit a crime again.
In the more banal case of Pete Rose, the question seems to be, has he confessed enough (or grovelled enough) to let him into the Hall of Fame?
That's really not forgiveness in the Christian sense, which is not predicated upon reciprocation but upon a human grace modeled upon God's.
With that in mind, let's drop the "forgiveness" stuff and ask this pair of questions instead:
1. Has Pete Rose reformed?
2. Is that reformation enough?
Derek Catsam - 1/7/2004
I agree that those who try to parallel Rose's indiscretions with those of Ruth, Cobb, and the long list of drinking, wife beating, drug using scofflaws miss the point. Gambling is the big no no. Rule 21 is posted in every major league clubhouse going in and coming out, in English and Spanish, and with translators for speakers of other tongues.
Further, admitting to the issue is not enough. First off, it is and has been clear to anyone who cared about ths issue that the Dowd report was damning, that Giammatti was right, and that they had Rose by the short hairs. He signed the agreement after all. So that he confessed to what all but the blindest already knew to be true is of little moment. What matters should now be how Rose conducts himself. That this happened now when he has a book to peddle is of no surprise to anyone who has watched just how shameless Charlie Hustle (much double meaning, that, huh?) has become. It is baseball's equivalent of the Paris Hilton tape. Were Rose to show contrition, were he to try to take positive steps to rectify his wrongs, that might mean something.
I also think that the writers will not give Rose a free pass -- witness articles by Dan Shaughnessy in the Boston Globe and Thomas Boswell in the Washington Post as just two examples. And the way Rose has acted not only in Cooperstown in past years, but in overshadowing the announcements about Molitor's and Eckersley's election to the Hall does not sit well. In any case, if Rose is exonerated and not Joe Jackson as well, I'd be horrified.
Finally, since this is my only place to vent and we are talking about the Hall of Fame: growing up, Jim Rice was my favorite player, and I am a diehard Red Sox fan, so I am biased as all getout. But he belongs in the Hall of Fame. If Tony Perez belongs, if Don Sutton belongs, if Paul Molitor belongs, Jim Rice belongs. Had any GM in the game called and proposed a trade one on one of Rice for any of those three (and many others in the Hall) during their respecive ten year peaks, the other team would have been laughed off the line. It looks like it may never happen, but put Jim Rice in the Hall!
Harvey Green - 1/7/2004
Unlike the examples cited by John Miller, Rose's actions were directly related to the game itself. Even if he did not bet against his team, the games on which he did not bet could have been clues to other gamblers. Gambling may be an addiction, but there are many other outlets for it than the sport in which one has a real or potential impact on the results of a game. A bet to win on a game can very well have influenced a manager's decision on which pitcher to use in a situation. He knew the rules and he broke them willingly. Baseball writers and other journalists will undoubtedly not quite understand this and will vote to allow him to enter the Hall of Fame regardless of this evidence. The veterans committee knows better than to do this, with the exception of the otherwise admirable Joe Morgan and John Bench.
John Miller - 1/7/2004
Baseball is so hypocritical about the Pete Rose issue.
Dozens of baseball players over the years have been involved in a host of outright criminal activities, from rape, wife-beating, innumerable robberies, wholesale drug abuse, and yet MLB welcomes them back and even gets them into rehab.
The Pete Rose issue is not just about the Hall of Fame.
Maybe all the other past and present criminals who populate MLB should all be barred from the sport completely, not just the Hall of Fame.

Gay candidate is top vote-getter in general election field of 6
FORT WORTH Tarrant County is one step closer to having its first openly gay elected official.
Joel Burns was the leading vote-getter with 37.5 percent on Tuesday, Nov. 6, in the six-candidate race for the District 9 seat on the Fort Worth City Council.
Burns, a 38-year-old openly gay real estate agent and city zoning commissioner, advanced to a runoff against Juan Rangel, who finished second with 23.4 percent of the vote. Burns captured 1,608 votes to Rangel's 1,006.
The runoff is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 11.
"It was a great result," Burns told Dallas Voice on Wednesday. "I was very excited to come in not only first but so far ahead of all the other people."
Candidate Chris Turner, whose name had been used in an anti-gay attack on Burns during the race, finished third with 18 percent of the vote.
The attack came in the form of comments by District 3 City Councilman Chuck Silcox during a meeting of the Fort Worth Women's Club that also was a forum for Republican state House candidates on Oct. 24.
"This is an excellent time to have Republicans get out and support a Republican," Silcox told the crowd. "We have two people of opposite partisan politics, opposite philosophical persuasions and opposite sexual orientations."
"I didn't tell you which one was homosexual," Silcox added, pointing to Turner. "He's married to a female, and the other's married to a male. You make your own mind up."
Neither Turner nor Silcox returned phone calls from Dallas Voice seeking comment about the matter. But Turner's business partner, Craig Murphy, denied Turner was behind the comments.
Regardless, Burns said he believes the incident cost Turner votes.
"What was said by Mr. Silcox hurt Mr. Turner, and Mr. Turner's failure to respond to it hurt Mr. Turner," Burns said.
Burns said he is extremely confident about his chances in the runoff against the 60-year-old Rangel, who is currently a member of the Fort Worth school board. Rangel also did not return a phone call.
"I feel very, very good going forward," Burns said. "I think I'll finish in as strong a first place in the runoff as I did in the first election."
Burns acknowledged that if he wins, he'll make history for the growing LGBT community in Tarrant County. But he said it's not something he thinks about too much. Instead, he said the focus of his campaign is building safe neighborhoods, economic development and transportation planning.
"I think about it only when people bring it up to me," Burns said.
"I'm running to represent everyone. In all honesty, I literally forget that."

The event even being staged at Palmer Coolum Resort was still under a cloud until meetings over the weekend eased the tension somewhat and resolved many of the issues.
The following is a transcript of the Media conference provided in full because of the signficance of the content and the situation.
h3. Q. Where will the Aus PGA be played next year
BT The easiest way to answer that is that it will definitely be played in Qld, it won't be here, we haven't been able to reach terms with Palmer Coolum Resort besides the best efforts of both parties. We haven't been sitting on our hands we have been negotiating for many months and during that period we have had a look at other alternatives, we certainly haven't reached agreement yet, we haven't worked too hard because we were very hopeful that we would be able to close agreement here. It will be held in Qld, most likely in South East Qld alot of speculation about the Gold Coast and that is well and truly a serious possibility and Brisbane is there as well. Both are big population bases but we don't rule anything out and we are very confident we will find an appropriate venue on appropriate terms.
h3. Q- What was the uncommon ground?
BT These arrangements, like any are common to other sports as well when you try and secure a facility to play an event in, commerce is always a big part of it but it also matters around the game itself and in this case dates and scheduling is another factor. There are a number of factors but particularly commerce, the Palmer Coolum Resort has certainly publicly said that they didn't want to continue with the level of sponsorship that they have previously had, so that was certainly a factor. They are quite entitled and we completely understand the fact that the resort makes its own commercial decisions as we do. So under that heading commerce was certainly a big factor in it.
h3. Q - How much is it to do with Palmer himself?
BT I haven't been negotiating with Mr Palmer I have been negotiating with the General Manager and others in the company. I look at it as the Palmer Coolum Resort Company and the body of that has the contract with us, I actually say very little. Clearly the company has a board and an owner and his opinion is I'm sure is considerably important to them, but we haven't been hooked up with Mr Palmer at all.
h3. Q- How rocky did it get?
BT I'm not going to go into a cut and thrust of the negotiations, these things can have ups and downs and peaks and troughs, the depth of that trough isn't important compared to the fact that we resolved the issues. We came out with a successful outcome and we have a great tournament which is kicking off on Thursday.
h3. Q - Will there be any local rules?
BT There will and let me give you a bit of information. Before I do, this is the Rules of Golf Handbook, many of you have got it and on the very first page there is a quote and it says this "Play the ball as it lies, play the course as you find it and if you cannot do either do what is fair but to do what is fair you need to know the rules of golf." We have introduced a local rule which I will read to you and we have Andrew Langford-Jones here who is the tournament director that can answer any specific follow on questions. The local rule is "Abnormal Ground Conditions "" all grass painted advertising signs located through the green are deemed to be Ground Under Repair, with relief available under Rule 25-1 for lie, stance or area of intended swing. The extremities of the painted advertising sign are deemed to define the margin of the condition. Distance lines painted lateral to the fairways are not advertising signs". So what that basically means is that if the ball lands within say the rectangular area of a grass advertising sign, the players are entitled to take relief, no closer to the hole but to drop it in the same way as he would for any other Ground Under Repair circumstance.
h3. Q - How many holes will this be an issue for?
BT I went out yesterday on the cart and had a look at each of the holes, it is hard to judge how many are in what you might call a landing zone, but I don't get the sense that there are more than maybe half a dozen or so, it's completely hard to say. Many of them I believe are painted on slopes as well if you have a close look so they don't roll off so there is some consideration there but I don't know the sites. I believe that there are 61 grass signs painted on the course and I think a relatively small number, I'm not sure if 6 to 10 will be in landing zones and will be likely to have balls.
h3. Q - 11 Years history "" how do you feel?
BT I think it is very sad, we have had a great run on the Sunshine Coast, it has been fantastic, but nothing stays forever. We have a tournament with an operating budget of $5 million dollars and we don't have the facilities to run the thing at a loss. So commerce plays a part in these things you have to make the book balance and that is the same philosophy that I am sure this resort has it has different revenues and different expenses so it's judged that it can't make that work. Emotionally it will be sad, the PGA has had a great run here and we are sorry to be leaving.
h3. Q - Did stakeholders discuss their want to have it stay here?
BT We've been talking with all of the stakeholders for quite awhile and Sunshine Coast Regional Council has been a very big supporter of this tournament for a long period of time so we have kept them briefed about where we were and this didn't come as a surprise to those stakeholders.
h3. Q - What will the Sunshine Coast lose financially?
BT Look I don't have those numbers, I can't talk with authority to that question. Clearly the community would like it to stay in terms of hotel rooms and taxi activity. What we will be doing we will be talking to the Sunshine Coast about another tournament, perhaps a Tier 2 tournament, which might again grow, so it is not as if we are casting aside. We have been talking to the Coast about the Holden Scramble continuing here and that has been also a big driver of activity, perhaps not as big as the PGA I am sure, but we will do what we can to keep the legacy of golf on the Sunshine Coast.
h3. Q- Did you think there'd ever be a dinosaur on the course?
BT No, but having said that let's put it into perspective, it has generated some tremendous publicity for this tournament and we don't have a big marketing budget so in that regard everybody knows that the PGA is on at Coolum at the moment. From a golf perspective the guys who are playing the 9th hole don't see it as they chip in, it might be in the background when they are putting from the opposite direction. The 10th tee it's not in their sights when they are teeing it up, so it is not going to interfere in the golf in any way.
h3. Q - As long as it's turned off
BT We were concerned if it made a noise or if it moved that that might have been, particularly the noise, would affect the golf and we sought assurances about that and they were given very quickly without debate. So we have got an agreement from the resort that it will be turned off during tournament days, I haven't personally seen it working and how loud it is. It might be on during the Pro-Am but we have been assured that it will not be on from Thursday through to Sunday.
h3. Q - Are you bracing yourself for any surprises, Clive has a history of occasionally pulling something out of the hat?
BT I don't believe so, we can't rule it out. We reached an agreement on Sunday that the tournament would proceed, we have an agreement about access to the course and the way the tournament operates. We have a long legacy of history in terms of how it is run, so I am not expecting any surprises, I certainly hope there aren't any.
h3. Q - Was Clive upset his son couldn't play?
BT Never heard a word about that and we never asked. Earlier this year I can tell you that, and this is public again, we were asked to approve a sponsors invitation to the winner of a play-off of the club pro's at the three golf courses owned by Clive at that stage and one of those club pro's from Gold Coast Colonnial (formerly known as Robina) and Palmer Coolum Resort did receive an invitation and as recently as ten days ago we were asked by the resort for another sponsor invitation for a particular PGA member and we agreed to that. We have never been asked about anybody else and in my book he is not a Pro so he is ineligible to play because he is an amateur. He is fine to play in the Pro-Am obviously but I don't know whether he is but we have never been asked if he could play in the tournament itself.
h3. Q - Expectations of impact of different venue.
BT We've plans to upgrade the PGA, we think it can be bigger and better than it is. We've got plans to grow the PGA we've got some very big plans for the way in which we can do that, I am not at libity to go into that at the moment but of course, this is the PGA's premier event. The PGA tour is obviously a sanction by professional golf across Australia so we have got involvement in all the tournaments but this one we aren't so it is important to us and we have got plans to make it bigger and better.
h3. Q - Is there a relationship with Clive carry forward?
BT There could be we are not ruling out dealing with Clive in the future or Clive's resorts at all, it's just that we haven't been able to reach agreement for a renewal of the arrangements here. Our business model currently relies on securing a diverse range of revenues from broadcasting, corporate sponsors, hospitality, ticketing, merchandising and catering and so on. There are very few cases and I am not aware of any in Australia where a wealthy person just comes in and writes a cheque and puts on a big tournament. That is fraught with danger in our view and whilst we welcome investment from anybody we wouldn't want to be reliant upon a tournament in a single persons hand.
h3. Q - Have you ever had to change rules before to the extent it has been here?
BT There have been tournaments in Australia in the past where the odd grass sign has been in place, there are grass signs in tournaments overseas and in those cases a similar rule is applied, GUR by the body in control of those events. What has been applied here in terms of the local rule is no different to what happens internationally.
h3. Q - At some point it wasn't going ahead?
BT I said we resolved our differences, there is no doubt that we expressed concern but the signs caught us by surprise we didn't agree to them.
h3. Q - How close was it to not going ahead?
BT I also said I wasn't going to go to the cut and thrust of the peaks and troughs, I always had confidence that we would resolve our differences and we did.
h3. Q - Reaction from players "" moving and signs
BT I haven't spoken to a lot of players I have had a few other things to be doing but those that I have have said that it is not as bad as they expected. When you go out and drive the course many of them are in an area where a ball is never going to go, they are on downslopes. The concern of the players are if it is going to effect the game so it only the ones in the landing zones that would be a concern to players from a playing the game perspective and we have addressed them through the local rule and the GUR. Our concerns were also about the effect on some of the sponsors but we have been in regular dialogue with them, they understand the circumstances that it wasn't the PGA's making and life goes on. The strength in our relationship with the sponsors will carry us through any of those concerns.
h3. Q - Reaction to moving course?
BT We are in dialogue with our stakeholders on the issue regularly, this is not something that has come up in the last 7 days we have been working on this since much earlier in the year and we have had a fair idea for awhile that it looked unlikely that we will be able to reach agreement so as we go through that process we consult with our partners so it is not a surprise. When we look at any venue and I mentioned commerce and scheduling and so forth the needs of our sponsors and other partners are paramount as well, you have to have a broadcast compound, capable of getting a satellite signal out and marquee facilities and areas a sponsor can activate for the fans, you have to have security "" so there are a whole range of different issues that come to bear when selecting and negotiating a course to play a big event like this. Our sponsors and our partners are fully aware and I believe supporting of us.
h3. Q -Volunteers working under Palmer "" will they be well looked after?
BT Yes absolutely, the volunteers that support us through the tournament we will look after them in the sense of catering, drinks, facilities and uniforms and so on throughout the tournament. Again this was publicly reported that there were some changes to the arrangements where they can play golf on the course after the event and those arrangements were determined by the resort. In the great scheme of things volunteers as I interpret it come along more for the experience and the giving back to the tournament, we look after them during the tournament so the golf was just a slight benefit not a massive issue.
h3. Q - Tier 2 tournament how far down the line?
BT It is a bit early to say, we have only just initiated those discussions but I would like to think that we would be able to resolve that in the next three months or so. I don't rule it out being here but equally the logistics associated with that next layer of tournament aren't as intense so there are other golf courses in the region that could quite readily host the Tier 2 event.
h3. Q - Any Sunshine Coast courses still in contention for PGA?
BT We exhausted all other opportunity on the Sunshine Coast as we were simultaneously discussing with Palmer Coolum Resort.

Dawson County
Montana, USA
Jun. 2, 2008
Broadwater County
Montana, USA
Grace Margaret Berberet, a 70-year resident of the Toston area, died after an illness of several months on June 2, 2008 at age 92.
She was born in Glendive to pioneering parents, Patrick and Jane McGovern, who moved to Montana from Minnesota to claim a homestead farm in 1910. Grace was the third child in a family of six sisters and one brother. She attended grade school and high school in Glendive and went on to receive her lifetime teaching certificate at Western Montana College in 1936. After graduation, she returned to Glendive, where she was employed as a teacher until 1938.
The lure of a better paying teaching position in 1938, led her back to western Montana to teach in a one-room school, in the small railroad junction town of Lombard, five miles up the Missouri River from Toston. There she met and fell in love with a dashing young Toston rancher named Bill Berberet, who acted as chauffer to drive a priest up the treacherous road between Toston and Lombard for Sunday Mass. Grace and Bill were married at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Glendive on Dec. 28, 1940, then took up residency on the Berberet ranch where they raised a family of nine children.
In addition to her family, this woman of quiet resolve and strong commitments devoted her life to servant leadership in the Catholic Church, Farm Bureau, the Republican Party, 4-H, Toston Bridge Club, garden club and square dancing. Her remarkable energy and selfless goodwill in assisting others benefited countless youth, the vitality of her church and community, and the civic, religious, educational and political life of Broadwater County, the dioceses of Helena, and the state of Montana.
Her church activities included teaching religious education, participating in Bible study, serving on the Townsend Holy Cross church council and presiding over the Helena Deanery of the diocese. Grace served on the board that undertook the renovation of Montana's third oldest Catholic Church, Saint Joseph of Canton near Townsend, relocated to high ground on the east side of Canyon Ferry Lake following construction of the Canyon Ferry Dam. She worked for many years with several likewise dedicated local community members to preserve this historic church in its original character.
After her marriage and the end of her career as a full-time school teacher, Grace served as the leader of a Toston 4-H Club for a number of years before the needs of her growing family forced her to turn the 4-H leader reins over to Bill. Then, in the 1980s, Grace and Bill joined the board of the Montana 4-H Foundation, where Grace served for seven years before retiring in 1996. She was inducted along with Bill into the Montana 4-H Hall of Fame in 1995. During these years the foundation experienced highly successful fund raising drives; Grace and Bill played leadership roles in establishing the 4-H Director's Endowment Fund. All of the Berberet children were active 4-H members.
Bill and Grace were long time members of the Montana Friendship Force citizen exchange program and traveled extensively, including visits to France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Philippines, England, Ireland and the state of Alaska. They were also lay missionaries at an isolated Indian mission in Guatemala established by the Diocese of Helena, under the leadership of Rev. James Hazelton, originally from Townsend. They made five trips to Guatemala, spending several weeks each visit. Each time they brought hundreds of pounds of clothing with them for needy children and their families and returned home with large quantities of native weavings and crafts to sell to benefit the mission. In Guatemala, Grace assisted with cooking, sewing and teaching young mothers sanitary procedures with infant children. Until her death, she continued to donate funds for scholarships for students in Guatemala.
Grace Berberet was engaged in Republican Party politics throughout her married life. Although she never ran for elected office, she actively supported party candidates in local, state and national elections. For many years she was chair of the Broadwater County Republican party central committee and participated for a final time earlier this year in the Montana Republican party primary presidential caucus in Broadwater County.
Grace was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Gerald; sister, Lucille; son, Steve; and grandson, Luke DeMartin. Survivors include her husband, Bill, of Toston; sons Jerry (Cheryl) of Carroll College and San Diego, Dick (Pat) of Stillwater, Okla., and Bert of Belgrade; and daughters Jane (Bill) Peacock of Cove, Ore., Jeanni (Jerry) Balint of Jackson, Wyo., Barb (Rick) DeMartin of Toston, Meri (Bill) Bond of Newman Lake, Wash., and Trish (Ken) Vazanko of Spokane, Wash.
Her commitment to education was reflected in all nine children continuing their education beyond high school, seven earning college degrees, and three earning doctorates. Five of her children attended Carroll College in Helena. She is survived by nineteen grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, as well as her sisters, Elaine, Ruth, Helen and Mary all of the Glendive area.
Graveside rites will be held immediately after at Holy Cross Cemetery

Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote has been reinstated as head of the country's stock exchange, more than two years after he was removed from the position amid allegations of share market manipulation.
Dangote presided over a meeting of the Nigerian Stock Exchange council today "to discuss ways of reinvigorating the capital market," Agence France-Presse reported, citing an official statement.
"Capital (market) operators at the bourse expect him to focus on steps to restore investor confidence which the market currently lacks," the statement said.
Dangote was elected head of the NSE in August 2009, Reuters said.
But a group of shareholders, who had accused Dangote of manipulating the share price of a fuel importer, obtained a High Court order preventing him from taking up his position in March 2010.
Dangote won an appeal against that decision on Friday.
Forbes ranks Dangote as the richest man in Africa with a fortune of $11.2 billion.
He has three companies listed on the NSE – Dangote Cement, Dangote Flour and Dangote Sugar – and his investments stretch across the African continent.
The Daily Times of Nigeria quoted Dangote as saying he plans to set up a new council for the stock exchange this week and increase the number of seats for stockbrokers from four to six.

We similarly believe that excluding costs related to the pending acquisition by Agilent and restructuring and other related costs (principally related to facility closures and employee terminations to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency) provides supplemental information and an alternative presentation useful to investors' understanding of the company's core operating results and trends, especially when comparing those results on a consistent basis to results for previous periods and anticipated results for future periods. Investors have indicated that they consider financial measures of our results of operations excluding restructuring and other related costs as important supplemental information useful to their understanding of our historical results and estimating of our future results.
We believe that our non-GAAP financial measures should only be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, our financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Top notch football players sustain identical injuries following season
Previous injury as a risk factor for injury in elite football: a prospective study over two consecutive seasons Online First Br J Sports Med 2006 doi: 10.1136/bjsm.2006.026609
The research does not specify metatarsal injury, which jeopardised England player Wayne Rooney's chances of competing in the recent World Cup, but ankle sprains, at least, do not pose a recurring problem, it seems.
The research indicates that the rate of injuries sustained during training and competitive matches was similar, but the frequency of injury type varied considerably.
A previous injury to the hamstring, groin, or knee joint almost tripled a player's chances of an identical injury the following season, compared with players who had not been injured before.
The researchers base their findings on injury reports filed by doctors and physiotherapists working with 12 elite Swedish football teams, involving 197 players, over two consecutive seasons in 2001 and 2002.
Although older players tended to sustain hamstring injuries more than once, there was no overall association between the age of the player and the likelihood of repeating the injury.
The authors suggest that risk taking behaviour and psychological factors probably have a role in repeat injuries, as do inadequate rehabilitation and premature return to play before an injury has had time to heal properly.
But they also suggest that certain injuries may simply weaken the muscle or joint over the long term, leaving that player more liable to injury in the same spot, they say.

A school has issued warnings to parents after a "freaky" man allegedly watched and followed a group of children after school.
Honywood Community Science School, in Westfield Drive, Coggeshall, sent out alerts to parents last Wednesday morning after a pupil had said she felt like she and her friends were being "watched" in Church Street last Tuesday afternoon.
The Year 7 pupil, aged 11 or 12, had ran home after she saw a man, aged about 30, watching and following her as she went into Martin McColl newsagents, in Church Street, and Co-op in Doubleday Corner, it is believed.
The alert, which was sent to all parents and primary schools in the area, read: "One of our learners has reported a man behaving oddly outside Martins in Coggeshall after school yesterday.
"He was described as approx 30, 5 '7", wearing black jeans, a hoody and a red top."
See this week's Braintree and Witham Times for the full story.

First Degree AV Block
From Ask Dr Wiki
First degree AV block is a misnomer in that every P wave is conducted to the ventricles, however, with a PR interval exceeding 200 msec. Prolonged PR conduction, a more appropriate classification for this conduction disturbance, may be the result of conduction delay within the atrium, AV node, bundle of His or bundle branches. Prolongation of the PR interval most often indicates AV nodal conduction delay.

Location: Palo Alto, Calif.
Cost: $7 million
Bedrooms: 5
Bathrooms: 5 full, 2 half
Square footage: 5,617
Mark Zuckerberg's new digs are a long way from the Harvard dorm where he and his classmates founded the popular social networking site Facebook.
The baby-faced CEO plunked down a cool $7 million for the Palo Alto pad last year, which includes a salt water pool and spa. Still, to some, it's considered modest, given that Facebook may be going public this year in what some say could make the social networking website worth more than $100 billion.
Built in 1903, Zuckerberg's homestill holds its turn-of-the-century charm, but with modern luxuries. Zuckerberg can entertain friends with its outdoor fireplace and built-in barbecue. The master bathroom has an old-fashioned marble soaking tub as well as heated floors. There's also a sun room that opens up to the yard.
The best part for the well-known workaholic? It's just a stone's throw away from Facebook's new Menlo Park headquarters.

Home > Sport > Horseracing > Article
Zac Purton's first trip to Hawkesbury has proved lucrative, the jockey landing a double that included victory in the Rooty Hill RSL Club Guineas on Thursday.
The Coffs Harbour 21-year-old, whose spectacular riding throughout a recently completed apprenticeship earned him the tag "whiz kid", is being talked about in racing circles as Gai Waterhouse's next No.1 rider.
"There has been a lot of paper talk but nothing has been confirmed," Purton said.
The move to Sydney may come as early as the New Year, with Purton admitting the past six months of "have saddle will travel" have left him looking to ease up as the festive season gains momentum.
Purton was lured to Hawkesbury by Rosehill trainer Tim Martin with a booking to ride last Saturday's Rosehill winner This Manshood in the Gold Cup, but the gelding was scratched on the morning of the race.
It added to a day of mixed fortune for Purton,who arrived at Hawkesbury late after striking two accidents on the way to Brisbane airport.
But Purton remained calm on horseback and his first ride at the track resulted in a win aboard Pardon Dancer in a maiden plate. He later won on the Gary Portelli-trained second-stringer Sweet Marmalade in the Guineas.
Purton completed the day with a treble when guiding Sports King to a win in the final race.
Sweet Marmalade ($11) wore down the well-tried second favourite Lunasong ($6.50 into $4.80), with Happy Ways ($9) third.
The $4 favourite and last-start Canterbury winner Primal Motion could finish only fourth after racing on the speed, while the winner's stablemate Mimzical ($4.40) was fifth.

NASCAR driver Danica Patrick is the queen of the Super Bowl commercials. Since she signed with Go Daddy back in 2007, a privately owned business that is used primarily as an internet domain registrar, Patrick has appeared in a celebrity record 10 Super Bowl ads. However, their has been quiet speculation recently that her total might not go beyond the 10 she's already done.
The reports of her commercial demise are a little bit premature as Go Daddy has made it official that the two spots they purchased for the big game are going to feature NASCAR's most sultry driver.
"It was always fairly understood that Danica (would be in the commercials)," Go Daddy executive chairman and founder Bob Parsons said on Thursday. "She's been our spokesperson, has been in our successful Super Bowl advertising for the past eight years, so it only follows that if something works eight years in a row, there's a good chance of it working maybe a ninth year."
The rumors of her Super Bowl commercial dismissal came in the wake of the company hiring out the making of the commercials to New York agency Deutsch Inc. as opposed to producing them themselves, as they have every time before. Also, the two commercials featuring Patrick in the last Super Bowl earlier this year were rated the lowest of the 55 commercials that aired.
For Danica's part, she remains ever excited to appear in the commercials and is looking forward to doing the next pair.
"I've always felt so honored to appear in the commercials," Patrick said. "I feel we've made a lot of people laugh, we've made a lot of people smile, we've had a lot of fun with them. I'm excited to do them and I'm going to start doing sit-ups right now."
Since signing with Go Daddy, Patrick has appeared in 22 commercials for the company, helping to propel them to a recognizable brand by people across the world. By the statement released by the company, this partnership isn't going to end anytime soon.
"Go Daddy and Danica are a team, and we've been a team for a long time," Parsons said. "I would think it would be very difficult to figure who has benefited more. It's a true partnership, and I don't see it ending anytime soon."

"Highly recommended"
Yes I would. The story is very entertaining and captive. Definitely something that has that "IT" factor. The story is so well written, complex yet easy to follow. I would say if I were asked to recommend a book this would be the first one that comes to mind. I can't really put into words how good it is. It's something you definitely have to read or hear for yourself to understand how good it is.
I can't really compare it to many books. It's a fantasy novel with suspense and mystery with a thriller element and it crosses many genres especially if you have read the first two novels.
I don't want to give away any spoilers so I will just say Nathan and you read the book you'll understand.
I don't want to give anything away, but there is an amazing conversation between Luke and Nathan that is very profound.
Buy it read it or listen to it either way you will be entertained and be blessed with a refreshing new story that can captivate you.
We only heard the audio version and did not read the book so I am not sure. However we did like the audio version.
Luke, he is the hero and dragonman.
Billy Bob the hill billy. I also liked the voices of the sisters. I could always tell them apart.
There were too many adventures. I would have liked to make a whole book out of a few of his chapters.
"The many tales of the dragon"
Yes, because the narrator brings the characters to life in a way the print book could not hope to do.
When they found out that there had been life on Mars
The two sisters. One he gave a sexy voice to and the other a plan Jane voice. You could always tell them apart.
It was over whelming at the end and there was just so much going on!
The book is large and each chapter could almost be a book in it self. I can see how this could be made into a TV series.
"Dragonman Will Keep You Awake!"
Dragonman is definitely at the top of my list for all books I have listened to. I thought I would listen as I was falling off to sleep one night. At 3 am I was still wide awake and lost inside a really exciting story unfolding. It was so so so much more than I thought it would be. WONDERFUL.
I think Josh provides a masculine tone to the story enhancing the "superhuman" tone of the main character.
Luke Starr of course. I think the author did a great job of bridging today's instability with the challenges faced by Luke. Unintentional or a mistake-there are these terrible challenges he must face...uncertainty reigns supreme. Really a great read.
"Painful Narration"
I'm not sure. I know there are certain disabilities that affect hearing tone and inflection and I suppose they might tolerate his reading/
Different narrator. His reading was so distracting and annoying that I'm not even sure what was going on in the story.
"Wish I Could Say Different"
Having listened to hundreds of audio books I feel qualified enough to declare the audio editing and narration effort of this audio book to be of a quality that is embarrassingly substandard. I really wish it wasn't so bad, and i hate to speak badly of peoples work, but i almost feel insulted that this book is presented for purchase as a finished product.
My 3 issues relate to the quality of narration.
1. It sounds as though the narrator is reading the book for the first time as he narrates the book to us. The pauses in his speech confuse the listener as they come at points where it seems like the narrator has anticipated the end of a sentence then realizes the sentence or paragraph continue and resumes reading.
2. Background noise. You can literally hear the pages of the book being turned at some points. This also leads to more fractured narration as there is a mid-sentence pause as the page is turned.
3. This opinion is more subjective and may not apply to other listeners... While the narrator could have a good voice i found the way he narrated reminiscent of grade school when a child would have to read aloud to the class and would use a clownish, sarcastic tone in an attempt to avoid speaking in monotone and to also avoid giving classmates the impression that they were dedicated to giving their best performance. I hope that makes sense to some of you.
Bottom line... I found this book to be unlistenable. I cannot comment on the quality of the story as i found it impossible get very far through it due to reasons mentioned above.
