A big bundle of joy for one Missouri couple, meet Karsyn Raleigh Helmers.
She was born on Friday and her birth weight was more than 13 pounds! That's about twice the weight of an average new born baby.
The parents were a bit shocked, but they were happy to see a healthy baby girl.
According to father Wesley Helmers, "My step-dad, these were his exact words, 'are you joking? You're kidding, right? You're playing a joke on us?' 'No, can't joke about this one!"
Because Karsyn was so big, she was delivered by c-section. Her mom says she's looking forward to future arm workouts.
According to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, only about 1.1 percent of babies born in Missouri weigh more than 9.9 ponds.
According to the family, Karsyn's sister Abigail was also above average. She weighed 11 pounds when she was born 13 months ago. However, their 5-year-old Mackenzie weighed less than eight pounds at birth.
When asked by the Southeast Missourian if he wanted any more children, "Three is plenty," said Helmers.

Gives every 1 loss team life now.
I'm happy about this. Go **** yourself Les Miles.
And Cal is about ready to follow them. Once Michigan beats Ohio State we can all watch South Florida in the national championship game.
Yes I'm very happy that LSU lost and that whiny bitch Miles can now STFU about the Pac 10
Cal lost, big bummer for the Pac 10 what a huge error by the frosh QB. I guess the Cal kids where thinking ahead.
Now we get THE Ohio State as #1 UGH. I wouldn't mind watching S. Florida in the NC game something different would be good.
USC is going to make a comeback and go to the national championship. Mark my words!!
With Cal losing, doesn't that make UCLA #1 in the Pac-10? Weird...
Yes they are tied with a certain somebody (unless they lose tonight )

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Natural gas companies say about half of their lease holdings in the lucrative Marcellus Shale region in New York state will be off-limits or inaccessible thanks to all the restrictions in proposed state regulations and local bans.
A coalition of environmental groups is pushing for a ban on shale gas drilling, but the industry and landowners hoping to lease to drillers are working to lift some restrictions and halt the movement toward local bans.
The Marcellus is a gas-rich shale deposit thousands of feet underground in parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia.
It's impossible to say how much gas would be off-limits to production under bans and restrictions in New York because the amount of gas that can be extracted won't be known until wells are drilled.

you see once upon a time us females used to look something like that at some point.
Then we met neanderthal male and then they reduced us to being barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.
20 years later we might not look like that anymore but at least we are not quite as delusional as you males.
You see we know we have wobbly bits and certain things go south but Males still look in the mirror with rose coloured glasss and still think they are wonderful

In the Katzenellenbogen lab, we are studying Human Papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection, affecting more than 75% of the adult population. HPV is categorized as high-risk or low-risk, based on its association with cancer. Through dysregulation of normal cellular function, high-risk HPV blocks signals for DNA damage, programmed cell death and cellular arrest, all as a part of its viral life cycle. I am studying the mechanism by which high-risk HPV activates telomerase, an enzyme found normally in stem cells and is almost categorically activated in cancers, in order to understand how HPV drives cells to become malignant.
We are studying how the E6 oncoprotein of high-risk HPV 16 affects telomerase activity in cells, and specifically the catalytic subunit of telomerase, hTERT. HPV 16E6 can increase telomerase expression through transcriptional activation of hTERT, but we have found that HPV 16E6 also increases hTERT post-transcriptionally through its interaction with NFX1-123. NFX1-123 is an endogenous protein, found in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells, and this protein can bind to and increase the stability of the hTERT mRNA. We are working to determine the way in which NFX1-123 binds to and affects hTERT mRNA, why it is required for full telomerase activity in HPV 16E6 expressing cells and what other RNAs are regulated by NFX1-123.
We also are studying the role of NFX1-123, HPV 16E6 and other RNA processing proteins in cervical cancer, tumorigenesis and the tumor virus life cycle.
We hope to better understand how high-risk HPV infections lead to cancer, use HPV as a model of oncogenic progression and use HPV as a model for the life cycles of other DNA tumor viruses.

So a few minutes ago, making plans for the weekend, a friend suggested we try somewhere new for dinner Friday night, either Rayuela or their little sister Macondo. Sounded good.
I looked at Macondo's menu, lots of nutty things but also some cheeses and arepa [which traditionally are GF]. So I did what I do, which is call ahead. A cheery woman answered the phone and this is how it went down.
"Hi. I'm thinking of coming in to dine and I'm allergic to nuts and fish and I'm wondering if the kitchen feels comfortable handling that?"
"So, you're vegan? I mean, vegetarian?"
"Uh, no. I'm *allergic* to nuts and fish. They could kill me."
"Ooooh. So you're allergic to penis?"
"Uh, excuse me?"
"I mean, peanuts?"
Hmmm. Not a great sign.
Question is: Should I judge a restaurant's allergy awareness (and command of the nut vocabulaire) solely by the person who answers the phone? Probably not.
But here in NYC, there are too many restaurants whose reservationists get it to fiddle around with those that don't.
Needless to say, I'm neither allergic to "penis" nor dining at Macondo anytime soon. But it was worth calling just for the giggle!

text: 10 High-Performance Used Cars You Can Actually Afford So you're looking for a little spice in a used-car upgrade. But the usual suspects in the used marketa Miata, a 350Z, a Honda S2000 or just about any BMW or Miniare going to eat your wallet alive. Never fear, because we've rounded up the sleepers: The best fun used cars that won't empty your bank account. Some weren't produced in great numbers and are thus hard to find (and some are sleepers because of reliability flaws). But these hot cars could be the perfect buy for someone willing to scour the market for a deal and put up with a few mechanical headaches in exchange for a great driver's car. By Michael Frank Share Back 10 of 10 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Larger View Thumbnails Saturn Sky Red Line, 2007 Price: $22,000 and Up PROS: While Kelley Blue Book says you should be able find the hotter version of the Sky convertible for $18,000, these cars hold their value. The 2007 models are going for more like $22,000, but the good news is that many are certified/preowned, so you'll come out with a warranty and a really fun car. The Sky Red Line kicked out 260 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque from a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and the rear-wheel-drive two-door clothtop could scoot to 60 mph in less than 6 secondsmaking it meaner than the MR2, not to mention any Miata. CONS: Saturn was finally hitting its stride with cars like this when GM axed the brand. And buying from a "dead" limb on the GM tree should give you pause. Yes, GM is honoring warranties and they can easily service Saturns and Pontiacs. But it's one thing if you're already a Saturn ownerquite another to be seeking out such a car.

David Mark Winfield (born October 3, 1951) is an American former Major League Baseball outfielder and is currently special assistant to the Executive Director of the Major League Baseball Players Association.[1] Over his 22-year career, he played for six teams: the San Diego Padres, New York Yankees, California Angels, Toronto Blue Jays, Minnesota Twins, and Cleveland Indians. In 2004, ESPN named him the third-best all-around athlete of all time in any sport.[2] He is a member of both the Baseball Hall of Fame and the College Baseball Hall of Fame.
Youth and collegiate career[edit]
Winfield was born the same day Bobby Thomson hit his pennant-winning home run for the New York Giants, known as "the shot heard 'round the world", and grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota. His parents divorced when he was three years old, leaving him and his older brother Stephen to be raised by their mom, Arline, and a huge extended family of aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins and mentors.[3]
The Winfield brothers honed their athletic skills in St. Paul's Oxford playground, where coach Bill Peterson was one of the first to take the young Winfield under his wing. It wasn't until his senior year in high school that Winfield became a formidable 6'6" athlete.[3]
He earned a full baseball scholarship to the University of Minnesota in 1969, where he starred in baseball and basketball for the Golden Gophers. His college baseball coach was former MLB player Dick Siebert, and his basketball coach was Bill Musselman (who went on to serve as a head coach in the American Basketball Association and National Basketball Association) who would later refer to Winfield as the best rebounder he ever coached. Winfield's 1972 Minnesota team won a Big Ten basketball championship, the school's first in 53 years. During the 1972 season, he also was involved in a brawl when Minnesota played Ohio State.[4]
Winfield also played for the Alaska Goldpanners for two seasons (1971–72) and was the MVP in 1972. In 1973, he was named All-American and voted MVP of the College World Series—as a pitcher. Following college, Winfield was drafted by four teams in three different sports. The San Diego Padres selected him as a pitcher with the fourth overall pick in the MLB draft and both the Atlanta Hawks (NBA) and the Utah Stars (ABA) drafted him.[5][6] And even though he never played college football, the Minnesota Vikings selected Winfield in the 17th round of the NFL draft. He is one of three players ever to be drafted by three professional sports (the others being Mickey McCarty and Dave Logan), and the only athlete drafted by four leagues.[7]
San Diego Padres: 1973–80[edit]
Winfield chose baseball, and gained another distinction when the San Diego Padres signed in him the first round draft and promoted him directly to the majors. Although he was a pitcher, the Padres wanted his powerful bat in the lineup and put him in right field, where he could still use his "rifle arm." He proved up to the task, batting .277 in 56 games his first season.
For the next several years, he was an All-Star player in San Diego, gradually increasing his power and hits totals. In 1977, he appeared in his first All-Star game at New York's Yankee Stadium and he burst into national stardom. In 1978, he was named Padres team captain and in 1979, he batted .308 with 34 home runs and 118 RBI. He played one more season with the Padres before becoming a free agent.
New York Yankees: 1981–90[edit]
In 1981, New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner made headlines by making Winfield the game's highest-paid player by signing him to a 10-year, $23 million. Steinbrenner mistakenly thought he was signing Winfield for $16 million,[8] a misunderstanding that led to an infamous public feud.[9]
Winfield was one among the highest rated players in the game throughout his Yankee contract. He was a key factor in leading the Yankees to the 1981 American League pennant, but then had a sub-par World Series, which the Yankees lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in six games. After getting his only series hit, Winfield jokingly asked for the ball.[10] Steinbrenner didn't find this humorous, and criticized Winfield at the end of the series. Many commentators have since noted that Winfield's post-season doldrums were somewhat overstated when compared to those of his teammates. In the exciting 1981 American League Division Series, Winfield batted .350 with two doubles and a triple and made some important defensive plays helping the Yankees to victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Four of his seven hits came in games won by the Yankees. The team's offense for the most part was inconsistent, and they were also set back by key injuries to Reggie Jackson and Graig Nettles.
Winfield did not let Steinbrenner's antics affect his play. He hit 37 home runs in a spectacular 1982 season. On August 4, 1983, Winfield killed a seagull by throwing a ball while warming up before the fifth inning of a game at Toronto's Exhibition Stadium.[11] Fans responded by hurling obscenities and improvised missiles. After the game, he was brought to the Ontario Provincial Police station and charged with cruelty to animals. He was released after posting a $500 bond. Yankee manager Billy Martin quipped, "It's the first time he's hit the cutoff man all season."[11] Charges were dropped the following day.[12] In the offseason, Winfield returned to Toronto and donated two paintings for an Easter Seals auction, which raised over $60,000.[3][13] For years afterward, Winfield's appearances in Toronto were greeted by fans standing and flapping their arms—until he became a fan favorite when he joined the Blue Jays in 1992.
From 1981 through 1984, Winfield was the most effective run producer in MLB.[14] In 1984, he and teammate Don Mattingly were in a memorable race for the batting title[15] in which Mattingly won out by .003 points on the last day of the season; Winfield finished with a .340 average. In the last few weeks of the race, it became obvious to most observers that the fans were partial to Mattingly.[16] Winfield took this in stride noting that a similar thing happened in 1961 when Mantle and Maris competed for the single season home run record.[17]
In 1985, Steinbrenner derided Winfield by saying to New York Times writer Murray Chass, "Where is Reggie Jackson? We need a Mr. October or a Mr. September. Winfield is Mr. May.".[18] This criticism has become somewhat of an anachronism as many cite the statement to Steinbrenner after the 1981 World Series. Winfield was struggling while the Yankees eventually lost a pennant to Toronto on the second to last day of the season.[18] The Mr. May sobriquet lived with Winfield until he won the 1992 World Series with Toronto.[19]
Throughout the late '80s, Steinbrenner regularly leaked derogatory and fictitious stories about Winfield to the press.[20] He also forced Yankee managers to move him down in the batting order and bench him. Steinbrenner frequently tried to trade him, but Winfield's status as a 10-and-5 player (10 years in the majors, five years with a single team) meant he could not be traded without his consent. Winfield continued to put up excellent numbers with the Yankees, driving in 744 runs between 1982 and 1988, and was selected to play in the All-Star Game every season. Winfield won five (of his seven) Gold Glove Awards for his stellar outfield play as a Yankee.
In 1989, Winfield missed the entire season due to a back injury.[21] In 1990, the feud between Steinbrenner and Winfield had escalated to the point where Steinbrenner was "banned for life" from running the Yankees because of his connections to Howie Spira, a known gambler with Mafia connections, whom he had paid $40,000 for embarrassing information on Winfield.[22] However, the suspension lasted only two years. Winfield was traded mid-season to the California Angels[21] and won the 1990 MLB Comeback Player of the Year Award.[23]
Later career and retirement[edit]
1992: World Champion Toronto Blue Jays[edit]
Winfield was still a productive hitter after his 40th birthday. On December 19, 1991, he signed with the Toronto Blue Jays as their designated hitter, and also made "Winfieldian" plays when he periodically took his familiar position in right field. He batted .290 with 26 home runs and 108 RBI during the 1992 season.
Winfield proved to be a lightning rod for the Blue Jays, providing leadership and experience as well as his potent bat. Winfield was a fan favorite and also demanded fan participation. In August 1992 he made an impassioned plea to the reserved fans during an interview for more crowd noise. The phrase "Winfield Wants Noise" became a popular slogan for the rest of the season, appearing on t-shirts, dolls, buttons, and signs.
The Blue Jays won the pennant, giving Winfield a chance at redemption for his previous post-season futility. In Game 6 of the World Series, he became "Mr. Jay"[19] as he delivered the game-winning two-run double in the 11th inning off Atlanta's Charlie Leibrandt to win the World Series Championship for Toronto. At 41 years of age, Winfield became the third-oldest player to hit an extra base hit in the World Series, trailing only Pete Rose and Enos Slaughter.[24]
1993–95: Winfield for Dinner?[edit]
After the 1992 season, Winfield was granted free agency and signed with his hometown Minnesota Twins, where he continued to perform at a high level of play despite advancing age. He batted .271 with 21 home runs, appearing in 143 games for the 1993 Twins, mostly as their designated hitter. On September 16, 1993, at age 41, he collected his 3,000th career hit with a single off Oakland Athletics closer Dennis Eckersley.[25]
During the 1994 baseball strike, which began on August 12, Winfield was traded to the Cleveland Indians at the trade waiver deadline on August 31 for a player to be named later. The 1994 season had been halted two weeks earlier (it was eventually canceled a month later on September 14), so Winfield did not get to play for the Indians that year and no player was ever named in exchange. To settle the trade, Cleveland and Minnesota executives went to dinner, with the Indians picking up the tab. This makes Winfield the only player in major league history to be "traded" for a dinner (though official sources list the transaction as Winfield having been sold by the Minnesota Twins to the Cleveland Indians).[26]
Winfield, who was now the oldest MLB player, was again granted free agency in October but re-signed with the Indians as spring training began in April 1995. A rotator cuff injury kept him on the disabled list for most of the season; thus he played in only 46 games and hit .191 for Cleveland's first pennant winner in 41 years. He did not participate in the Indians' postseason.
Honors and awards[edit]
Dave Winfield's number 31 was retired by the San Diego Padres in 2001. |
Winfield retired in 1996 and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2001, in his first year of eligibility. He was the first San Diego Padre player inducted into Cooperstown[27] — a move that reportedly irked Yankees' owner George Steinbrenner. Nonetheless, when he was inducted Winfield sounded a conciliatory note toward Steinbrenner:[28]
" He's said he regrets a lot of things that happened. We're fine now. Things have changed. "
In 1998, Winfield was inducted by the San Diego Hall of Champions into the Breitbard Hall of Fame honoring San Diego's finest athletes both on and off the playing surface.[29]
In 1999, Winfield ranked number 94 on The Sporting News list of Baseball's Greatest Players,[30] and was a nominee for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team.
The Padres retired Winfield's #31 on April 14, 2001.[31]
On July 4, 2006, Winfield was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame in its inaugural class.
In 2010, Winfield was voted All-Time Left Fielder in the National Sports Review poll[32] and selected as one of 28 members of the NCAA Men's College World Series Legends Team.[33]
The Big Ten Network named Winfield its #15 ranked Big Ten Conference "Icon" in 2010.[34]
Life since retirement[edit]
In 1996, Winfield joined the new Major League Baseball on Fox program as studio analyst for their Saturday MLB coverage.
From 2001-2013, Winfield served as Executive Vice President/Senior Advisor of the San Diego Padres.
In 2006, Winfield teamed up with conductor Bob Thompson to create The Baseball Music Project, a series of concerts that celebrate the history of baseball, with Winfield serving as host and narrator.[35]
In 2008, Winfield participated in both the final Old Timer's Day ceremony and Final Game ceremony at Yankee Stadium.[36]
On June 5, 2008, Major League Baseball held a special draft of the surviving Negro League players to acknowledge and rectify their exclusion from the major leagues on the basis of race. The idea of the special draft was conceived by Winfield. Each major league team drafted one player from the Negro Leagues.[37]
On March 31, 2009, Winfield joined ESPN as an analyst on their Baseball Tonight program.[38]
On December 5, 2013, Winfield was named special assistant to Executive Director Tony Clark at the Major League Baseball Players Association.
Winfield resides in California with his wife Tonya, and three children, Shanel and twins David II and Arielle.
The David M. Winfield Foundation[edit]
Well known for his philanthropic work, Winfield began giving back to the communities in which he played from the beginning of his professional athletic career. In 1973, his first year with the Padres, he began buying blocks of tickets to Padres games for families who couldn't afford to go to games, in a program known as "pavilions." Winfield then added health clinics to the equation, by partnering with San Diego's Scripps Clinic who had a mobile clinic which was brought into the stadium parking lot.[39] When Winfield joined the Toronto Blue Jays, he learned teammate David Wells was one of the "Winfield kids" who attended Padres games.[40]
In his hometown of St. Paul, he began a scholarship program (which continues to this day). In 1977, he organized his efforts into an official 501(c)(3) charitable organization, known as the David M. Winfield Foundation for Underprivileged Youth, the first active athlete to do so.[39]
As his salary increased, Foundation programs expanded to include holiday dinner giveaways and national scholarships. In 1978, San Diego hosted the All-Star game, and Winfield bought his usual block of pavilion tickets. Winfield then went on a local radio station and inadvertently invited "all the kids of San Diego" to attend. To accommodate the unexpected crowd, the Foundation brought the kids into batting practice. The All-Star open-practice has since been adopted by Major League Baseball and continues to this day.[3]
When Winfield joined the New York Yankees, he set aside $3 million of his contract for the Winfield Foundation. He funded The Dave Winfield Nutrition Center at Hackensack University Medical Center near his Teaneck, New Jersey home. The Foundation also partnered with Merck Pharmaceuticals and created an internationally acclaimed bilingual substance abuse prevention program called "Turn it Around".[40]
The Winfield Foundation also became a bone of contention in Steinbrenner's public feud with Winfield. Steinbrenner alleged the Foundation was mishandling funds and often held back payments to the organization, which resulted in long, costly court battles. It also created the appearance that Steinbrenner was contributing to the Foundation, when in actuality, Steinbrenner was holding back a portion of Winfield's salary. Ultimately, the Foundation received all its funding and the alleged improprieties proved unfounded.
Winfield's philanthropic endeavors had as much influence on many of MLB's players as his on-field play. Yankee Derek Jeter, who grew up idolizing Winfield for both his athleticism and humanitarianism, credits Winfield as the inspiration for his own Turn 2 Foundation.[41] In turn, Winfield continues to help raise funds and awareness for Jeter's Foundation and for many other groups and causes throughout the country.

Rockwood superintendent quits; leaving for Tennessee district
Wednesday, 17 April 2013 04:46 Published in Local NewsRockwood school district Superintendent Bruce Borchers is taking a salary cut to leave the district for a school district in Tennessee. The Rockwood School Board will formally accept his resignation at its Thursday meeting.
Rockwoods officials announced Tuesday that Borchers' last day will be June 7th.
Borchers was hired by Rockwood in 2010. Since then he's faced controversy over the hiring of consultants, the district's relationship with a construction management firm, a failed bond measure last year and a scathing state audit of the district in February.
New Arch grounds renderings released by CityArchRiver
Wednesday, 17 April 2013 04:32 Published in Local NewsThe organization spearheading the effort to revamp the grounds around the Gateway Arch say the project is progressing well.
In it's third "report to the community," presented Tuesday night, CityArchRiver detailed MoDOT's construction time line for the planned "lid" over the I-70 depressed section. The agency says construction will begin this summer.

The voice of football. The NFL's narrator for generations. A master of restraint.
Pat Summerall soothed American television audiences over four decades — his deep, resonant voice and simple, understated style served as the perfect complement to the boisterous enthusiasm of John Madden, his partner in a celebrated pairing that lasted half of the NFL player-turned-announcer's career.
Summerall died Tuesday at age 82 of cardiac arrest, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center spokesman Jeff Carlton said, speaking on behalf of Summerall's wife, Cheri.
Summerall called 16 Super Bowls and became such a large part of the NFL that it was easy to forget he was the leading voice of the Masters and the U.S. Open tennis tournament, as well.
"He was royalty in the broadcast booth," Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said.
His final play-by-play words beside Madden were succinct, of course, as he called the game-ending field goal of the Super Bowl for Fox on Feb. 3, 2002, when New England beat St. Louis 20-17.
"It's right down the pipe. Adam Vinatieri. No time on the clock. And the Patriots have won Super Bowl XXXVI. Unbelievable," Summerall said.
Sparse, exciting, perfect. A flawless summation without distracting from the reaction viewers could see on the screen.
At the end of their final broadcast together, Madden described Summerall as "a treasure" and the "spirit of the National Football League" in a tribute to the partner that the former Oakland Raiders coach badly wanted to keep — and did — when he had to switch networks 20 years ago.
"Pat was my broadcasting partner for a long time, but more than that he was my friend for all of these years," Madden said in a statement Tuesday. "Pat Summerall is the voice of football and always will be."
Summerall played 10 NFL seasons from 1952 to 1961 with the Chicago Cardinals and New York Giants, but it was in his second career that he became a voice familiar to generations of sports fans, not only those of the NFL.
"Pat was a friend of nearly 40 years," CBS Sports broadcaster Verne Lundquist said. "He was a master of restraint in his commentary, an example for all of us. He was also one of the great storytellers who ever spoke into a microphone."
Summerall started doing NFL games for CBS in 1964, and became a play-by-play guy 10 years later. He was also part of coverage of the PGA Tour, including the Masters from 1968-94, and U.S. Open tennis.
When CBS lost its NFL deal after the 1993 season, Summerall switched to Fox to keep calling NFL games with Madden. Summerall had hoped to keep working with CBS for other events like the Masters, but network executives saw it otherwise. At the time, CBS Sports anchor Jim Nantz said he was "very saddened" that Summerall didn't get to leave CBS under his own terms.
"Pat Summerall was a hero to me," Nantz said Tuesday. "I treasured the gift of friendship that I had with him. I was his understudy for 10 years. He could not have been more generous or kind to a young broadcaster."
A recovering alcoholic, Summerall had a liver transplant in April 2004. The lifesaving surgery was necessary even after 12 years of sobriety.
After an intervention involving, among others, former NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle, former CBS Sports President Peter Lund and former PGA Tour Commissioner Deane Beaman, Summerall checked into the Betty Ford Clinic in April 1992.
"I had no intention of quitting, I was having too good a time," Summerall said in a 2000 Associated Press story. "The prescribed stay at Betty Ford is 28 days. They kept me 33 because I was so angry at the people who did the intervention, the first five days didn't do me any good."
Summerall received the liver of a 13-year-old junior high football player from Arkansas who died unexpectedly from an aneurysm. Summerall had an emotional meeting with the teenager's family the following year.
"He always had a joke," Madden said. "Pat never complained and we never had an unhappy moment. He was something very special."
Summerall often shared his testimony with Christian groups and told his story when speaking before other organizations. In his 2006 book, "Summerall: On and Off The Air," he frankly discussed his personal struggles and professional successes.
Long before broadcasting Super Bowl games, 16 for television and 10 more for radio — in fact, before there was even a Super Bowl — Summerall played a role in what is known in football circles as "The Greatest Game Ever Played," the 1958 NFL championship. The Giants lost to the Baltimore Colts 23-17 in the NFL's first-ever overtime game.
"Pat Summerall was one of the best friends and greatest contributors that the NFL has known," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. "His majestic voice was treasured by millions of NFL fans for more than four decades. It is a sad day in the NFL."
Born George Allen Summerall on May 10, 1930, in Lake City, Fla., he was an all-state prep football and basketball player there, and lettered in baseball and tennis. He played college football at Arkansas before going to the NFL.
After breaking his arm in the preseason as a rookie for Detroit, Summerall played five years for the Chicago Cardinals before four seasons with the Giants. While he was also a defensive back, Summerall was primarily a kicker, making 100 field goals and 256 of 265 extra points in his career.
The most famous was a 49-yarder through the wind and snow at Yankee Stadium that gave the Giants a 13-10 victory against the Cleveland Browns. The win gave the Giants the home field for a rematch with Cleveland in the playoffs, and a win in that game put New York in the famous title game against Baltimore.
"Pat will always be a great Giant," team president John Mara said Tuesday. "He was one of my father's favorites, and his game-winning kick in the snow against the Browns in 1958 is one of the most memorable plays in our franchise's history."
In a story distributed by the Giants, former teammate Frank Gifford — a longtime broadcaster himself — said Summerall was an underrated player because coach Jim Lee Howell and offensive assistant Vince Lombardi wanted to preserve him for kicking.
"Lombardi didn't want him to get hurt," Gifford said. "But we didn't need him as a football player, we needed him as a kicker. I was going both ways and doing the kicking, too. We picked him up from the Cardinals and that was the end of my kicking career."
When asked about his fondest NFL memories during a May 2009 interview with the AP, Summerall said there were things that stood out as a player and broadcaster.
"You always remember the days as a player. I was in four championship games before there was a Super Bowl, so I remember those very well," he said. "Broadcasting, I remember the last (Super Bowl) I did. Of course, I remember that. I remember the first one most vividly than any of the rest."
Summerall was part of the CBS broadcast of the inaugural Super Bowl in Los Angeles on Jan. 15, 1967. After working the first half in the broadcast booth, he switched places with Gifford at halftime and was a sideline reporter during the second half.
"To look at the Coliseum that day and see that there were like 40,000 empty seats and the most expensive ticket was $12, it's incredible to realize what was going on and what it's grown to over the years," he said during the 2009 AP interview. "It's sort of staggering to me."
Summerall, who spent his final years in the Dallas area, living in Southlake, was a member of the North Texas Super Bowl host committee for the game played there in February 2011 in the $1.1 billion Cowboys Stadium that opened in 2009.
"His presence at an NFL game elevated that event to a higher level," Jones said. "There is no question that Pat broadcast more Dallas games on CBS and FOX than any other man, and this is a great loss for thousands of Cowboys fans who spent their Sunday afternoons in the living room with Pat."
Summerall became a play-by-play announcer in 1974, and it was strictly by accident. He was working with Jack Buck, and CBS boss Bob Wussler thought the two commentators sounded too much alike. Summerall told Wussler that if a change was going to be made that he'd like to do play-by-play, and the following Sunday that's what Summerall was doing.
After his final game with Madden, Summerall remained a full-time broadcaster for Fox one more season, doing primarily Dallas Cowboys games during the 2002 season. He decided to step down the following year when he realized he would spend most of the season away from home.
Summerall did a handful of NFL games for Fox and ESPN the next few seasons. He did play-by-play for Fox's broadcast of the Cotton Bowl's games from 2007-10, then for the bowl's 75th anniversary in January 2011 conducted interviews as part of the pregame show and game broadcast. He also had voiceovers that were part of Masters broadcasts for CBS and game broadcasts on NFL Network.
Funeral arrangements were incomplete.

in a way it seems the industry is again doing the same mistake as it's been happening with the race for MPIXs in the past. the price to pay then was lower IQ. these days the race is for the size and again the price to pay seems to be lower IQ.
of course I won't speculate on others needs but from the point of my needs this camera simply seems way out of balance. it looks nice and fun, it's small but very well built, got all the right buttons and fetures and got all these lenses but if the image quality in the end remains on the same level of a decent enough compact camera costing much less then I don't see the point in having one.
