This one extra step will ensure a slightly weathered and comfortable appearance and will protect your other clothing from unintentional color transfer. |

Earthrace Boat Sets New Record
Filed under: Yachts & Sailing, Green
I've been a fan of the Earthrace boat since before I finally got to climb aboard back in 2006 so I'm particularly pleased that the biodiesel-powered trimaran and her crew set a record fastest circumnavigation of the globe by speedboat recently. The boat raced around the globe in just 60 days, 23 hours and 49 minutes which means they beat the old record by 13 days, 21 hours and 9 minutes. This was the second attempt by New Zealand skipper Pete Bethune who had to give up his first last year after a bunch of problems that included a pirate attack and a collision with a fishing boat. Congratulations to Bethune and his crew.

The convergence god is in the details
A comment in my article about Amazon.com's MP3 download store took me to task for picking nits about aspects of the service, especially about the quality of the usage experience. Fair enough--one man's nit is another person's show-stopper. But when it comes to convergence--hardware, software and services all coming together as they do in digital music, for example--it's taking care of those nits that are crucial to delivering satisfying music. Good enough is just not good enough unless you are happy being an also-ran.
Why? Because convergent systems are tremendously complex--both to create and potentially … Read more

When do you think a higher level of integration with different storage protocols will happen?
But there is real value when these protocols work together. I'm not talking about having a storage controller that supports a SAN [storage area network] and NAS [network attached storage], I'm talking about file-level awareness, understanding different file attributes, being able to act on the data (aka NAS) but then moving data using SAN protocols. If you think about it, that's the best of both worlds that combines intelligence and performance. This enables the platform to run any application in any environment without worrying about the latency of 'intelligence.'
We can potentially refer to this integration of SAN and NAS as unified storage, though this often means a single controller that can host a variety of separate protocols -- combining NAS, SAN and DAS [direct attached storage] support using iSCSI and Fibre Channel through CIFS and NFS. The 'unification' that I'm talking about is even deeper, actually allowing NAS and SAN protocols to interoperate, allowing file-level intelligence across a block-based infrastructure.
Check out the entire NAS FAQ guide.

EU kills GE-Honeywell
July 3, 2001: 5:26 p.m. ET
Honeywell CEO's job reported on line after takeover is rejected
NEW YORK (CNNfn) - The European Union Tuesday officially rejected General Electric Co.'s planned $42 billion acquisition of Honeywell International Inc., the first time a proposed merger between two U.S. companies has been blocked solely by European regulators. Ā
The 20-member European Commission, meeting in Strasbourg, France, fully backed Competition Commissioner Mario Monti's decision to block the takeover of Honeywell, which has been widely expected.
: up $0.99 to $35.10,
) stock rose on the news while shares of
: down $0.69 to $49.51,
) closed lower.
The move leaves Honeywell's future uncertain. The diversified manufacturer with $25 billion in annual revenue was in the process of selling some of its units when it announced a deal last fall to be purchased by
United Technologies Corp.
: up $1.87 to $72.95,
), only to have that bid trumped by the GE proposal.
The collapse of the deal left analysts who follow Honeywell expecting the board to replace Michael Bonsignore as CEO and chairman with Lawrence Bossidy, 66, the former CEO and chairman of AlliedSignal Corp., which acquired Honeywell in 1999 and adopted the company's name.
Honeywell had no comments on those rumors, which were reported in Tuesday's
Wall Street Journal
, although a spokesman said the company is disappointed with the EU's action.
EU closes the door on GE's merger with Honeywell
Windows Media
The EU's action, while expected, sparked a final round of criticism from the regulators and GE.
"The merger between GE and Honeywell, as it was notified, would have severely reduced competition in the aerospace industry and resulted ultimately in higher prices for customers, particularly airlines," Monti said in a statement.
The commission's statement said that there were ways the deal could have been structured to win approval. It quoted Monti as saying he regretted the companies did not take the necessary steps to answer the regulators' concerns.
GE, the world's biggest conglomerate, last week offered to sell assets with about $2.2 billion in annual revenue in a bid to save the deal and win approval from the European Union regulators. In a statement, GE expressed disappointment with and criticism of the EU's action.
"We strongly disagree with the commission's conclusions about the competitive effects of GE's acquisition of Honeywell," the GE statement said. "The facts just don't support these assertions. We believe this acquisition would have clearly benefited consumers in terms of quality, service and prices."
The GE statement made no mention of the plans of CEO Jack Welch, who had pushed back his retirement date to the end of the year so he could oversee the completion of the now scrapped acquisition.
Assistant U.S. Attorney General Charles A. James said the EU's decision "reflects a significant point of diversion" with U.S. antitrust regulators.
"The EU ... apparently concluded that a more diversified, and thus more competitive, GE could somehow disadvantage other market participants," James said in a statement. "Consequently, we appear to have reached different results from similar assessments of competitive conditions in the affected markets."
Honeywell made an 11th-hour attempt to
save the deal
Friday, as it offered to accept a lower price if GE would make the further divestitures required by the EU. But GE rejected the offer, saying it did not make sense for shareholders.
GE's stock is up since the collapse of the deal became apparent last month, suggesting that the stock should not be hurt by the end of the deal either short-term or long-term, according to Kent Newcomb, analyst with AG Edwards.
"I think GE is going to go back to its core businesses and refocus on them," Newcomb told CNNfn's
Market Call
. "The company has been growing very strongly. We expect the growth to continue despite a very soft economy. I think at the end of the day they'll wash their hands and move on."
U.S. regulators already had approved the purchase, with minor conditions. But the EU regulators had concerns that GE's huge market power in aerospace products and engines would prove anti-competitive.
"It's a fundamental difference," said Michael Regan, analyst for Credit Suisse First Boston, on CNNfn's
Before Hours
program Tuesday immediately after the vote. "The United States cares more about the impact of a merger on customers. The European Union seems to be focusing more on the concerns of competitors. This is a very interesting precedent set by the EU today."
Questions about next move for Honeywell
Regan said that if that change is made in Honeywell's leadership, it could be a sign that the company will buck expectations and try to stay independent rather than find another suitor.
"I think the message that Honeywell's board is sending is that they believe a change in leadership is needed to get Honeywell back on the right track as an independent company going forward," Regan said. "The board is not necessarily putting Honeywell on the block or keeping it on the block. That's a very different expectation than current consensus on Wall Street."
Bonsignore's replacement was seen as a necessary step by several Honeywell analysts.
"I think if they do bring Bossidy in, that'd be a positive for the company," said Harriet Baldwin, analyst with Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown. "Bossidy is viewed as being much more focused on operating numbers, particularly margins. And Bossidy has a lot of credibility with investors for when the company begins to detail its plans."
Several analysts said they believe United Technologies is the only company that might make a bid for all of Honeywell, although one analyst who spoke on condition of anonymity said that Germany's
Siemens AG
: up $0.12 to $62.32,
) would be a possibility.
There had been several rumors that conglomerate
Tyco International Ltd.
: up $0.38 to $54.98,
) also might be interested in Honeywell, but Tyco executives have denied interest at least three times, most recently on June 20, and Honeywell analysts say they believe those denials.
More likely than a purchase of the entire company is the resumption of the sale of the company in parts, several analysts said. Nicholas Heymann, analyst with Prudential Securities, estimates that a purchase by United Technologies would bring only $40 to $42 a share for Honeywell, whereas a breakup of the company would fetch about $45 to $48 a share, net of taxes.
"Relatively speaking, that [a bid by United Technologies] is not that likely," he said, and he didn't see anyone else likely to bid for the whole company. But he also doubted that Honeywell can make the changes it needs to survive as an independent company.

"I don't believe this is a business that has the wherewithal to be restructured the way GE was likely to do," he said.
But Edward Wheeler, analyst with Buckingham Research Group, said he believes there is at least a 50-50 chance that Honeywell will continue as an independent company, even if it sells some of the units.
"It has every opportunity to succeed," he said.
Some U.S. officials, including members of Congress, have criticized Europe's actions in this case and have called for congressional hearings and possible retaliation for blocking the deal. But Regan said he thinks any retaliation by the United States would be a mistake.

It's tough being House Speaker. John Boehner has to be the standard bearer for the national party, for his caucus, yet he also has to work out comprehensive compromises in order to get anything done. This task has gone from really difficult to just plain impossible. If his party does not back his proposals, it makes him look bad and hurts his hand in negotiations. His Plan B got an F from his conference before he put it up for the vote. At least former speaker Newt Gingrich was willing to let his caucus vote for articles of reprimand against him so that the media would not be distracted. That House Speaker nearly reduced the Presidency to second-tier status.
More than Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner has remained in the spotlight in spite of harsh circumstances and punishing difficulties with a caucus that wants to deal on spending but will not budge on taxes. Boehner had a responsibility to reach out to both sides of his own conference, to find some common ground to get something done. He has done his job, but his rebellious members on the right are making his job harder. The Chris Christie principle must apply here: Do not give on your core principles, but do not expect to get everything that you want. The primary challenges across the country against moderate and centrist Republicans are causing more problems at this point. A more federalized respect for the different caucuses in this country will help the GOP expand their tent without expelling members or expending their opportunities.
The United States government has to deal with entitlements. These programs are the biggest drivers of our country's debt. More than the military, more than earmarks, more than any other form of spending. The GOP caucus must not give an inch on this issue. The President wants to raise revenues on the $250k crowd, which includes small businesses, many of who are the biggest drivers of job growth. The GOP has signalled their willingness to raise taxes on millionaires, nothing more, along with comprehensive entitlement reforms. The Speaker of the House has a responsibility to corral his members in such a way so that they send the proper image about their conference's values.
What are the values, then? Are we going to cut spending, or not? What are they
going to do about the corporate subsidies? Every left-wing and right-wing pundit has offered support for the corporate handouts and the wealthy welfare. Enough is enough. Leading Republicans, from John Boehner on down, were willing to raise taxes, but if the Democratic Party refuses to get serious about entitlements, then off the cliff we go.
Even "The Nation"'s Katrina Vanden Heuvel has stated the obvious: "This is a media manufactured" frenzy. The nationwide press has made more out of a final decision than the long-term needs of this country. The "MySpace", "Twitter" and hyper-net culture is driving our national discourse, when our leaders need to pay attention to the needs of the country, not the rapacious, slavish desires of a hungry media mania looking for any report to report.
It's time for the Democratic Party to show its true colors: do they really want to deal with the debt or not? Do the liberal elements in this country not understand that a rising debt creates a rising burden on the government to leverage this debt? How much money will this country have to spend on interest in the next two or three years? For the Democratic elements who claim that they "want to help people", how can they justify taxing job creators and refusing to deal with the debt?
Whether John Boehner survives this fight or not, the Republican Party must
amass a strong, centrist message, not one which compromises on core values, but one which cooperates with spending cuts across the board yet refuses to push away the need for entitlement restructuring. And the GOP media machines must prepare to outline what they did, and what the oppositions refused to do should the federal government go over "the fiscal cliff".
House Speaker John Boehner in a Bind (About to be Burned?)
House Speaker John Boehner leads a divided GOP conference in the midst of a divided Congress versus an unwilling President. Cuts and taxes will avert the fiscal cliff, or Boehner should not deal.

For the engine to run, an appropriate amount of fuel must be pumped from the fuel tank. It is the job of the fuel pump to ensure that enough fuel is being supplied to the engine. An electric fuel pump is electrically powered to draw fuel from the fuel tank then sends it to the fuel injector or the carburetor. A faulty fuel pump does not only disrupt the engine but is also hazardous. Too much fuel pumped will affect fuel efficiency and cause fuel combustion to become more difficult.

By Jamie Dupree
I am still plowing through the health care bill from Democrats in the U.S. Senate, finding provisions that deserve a second look, and straining to figure out what huge chunks of this legalistic text actually mean.
On page 32, the bill would make hospitals publish a price list for basic services.
"Each hospital operating within the United States shall for each year establish (and update) and make public (in accordance with guidelines developed by the Secretary) a list of the hospital's standard charges for items and services provided by the hospital, including for diagnosis-related groups established under section 1886(d)(4) of the Social Security Act."
Of course, my first question was, "What is section 1886(d)(4) of the Social Security Act?"
Well, I went to the Social Security website to look up section 1886, which deals with payments to hospitals for inpatient hospital services, which you can find at http://bit.ly/80gr0T
It is an extensive mishmash of mumbo jumbo. I couldn't even figure out what (d)(4) was, but a subsection (d) hospital is an acute care hospital that usually gets Medicare money.
Page 71 talks about penalties that will be levied against health care plans that do not modernize their financial and administrative transactions.
Page 158 bans people in prison from buying health insurance through the exchanges that would be set up.
I'm trying to figure out why that is needed, or what spurred it.
Page 220 starts the details of how some plans would be allowed to sell across state lines, but not until at least July 2013. Later it says that multi-state exchange compacts among states cannot take effect until 2016.
Just in case you wondered, the tax penalties levied on individuals for failing to buy health insurance, those are not deductible on your 1040 form.
Page 565 has special rules for Indians (Native Americans), which say those with income below 300% of poverty don't have to do any cost sharing with the federal government to buy health insurance. In other words, the feds pick up the whole tab.
Page 723 establishes some new offices in the Department of Health and Human Services, called the "Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation".
If you're still interested in leafing through the bill over Thanksgiving, you can download it at http://bit.ly/1e08qU
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

What if someone you know cannot handle his financial matters anymore? What if he cannot take care of himself? What can you do if you are sure he is being exploited? How can you protect a family member or friend who is having problems managing his affairs because of a physical or mental disability?
A probate court can appoint a guardian to direct the legal and financial affairs, as well as the personal care of a person who is deemed "incompetent." A guardian is accountable to the probate court. However, guardianship is not the only way to meet the needs of someone who is having difficulty handling personal or financial affairs.
Appointing a guardian takes away a person's ability to make decisions about his or her life. Independence and self-determination are important to all people, and this loss of personal rights is why guardianship is a very serious step. Because guardianship for adults is intrusive, it should be considered only after reasonable alternatives, which place fewer restrictions on a person, have been investigated.
There are alternatives that provide supports for the person or substitute decision making authority in specific areas.
The success of guardianship alternatives depends on the skill of the support people for the individual and the relationships among the individual's circle of support. Anyone in a support role should be willing to:
If you or someone close to you needs information about how to protect and help someone, call your area agency on aging at 1-866-243-5678. Also, ask friends and family members for the name of an attorney who is knowledgeable about probate matters. ProSeniors provides free legal information, advice and referral for Ohio residents age 60 and older.
Twice each month, the Ohio Department of Aging delivers Aging Issues, a column from Director Barbara E. Riley that examines topics of interest to older Ohioans, their family members and others who care for and serve them.

Every year, we see those commercials that make us cringe. You're thinking, "Is that really a product? Who would buy that!" Here are some of the worst ads for 2013, according to USA Today.
The "Poo Pourri" commercial is on the top five list. The product promises to cover the water in your toilet with a fragrant film that releases the scene every time the film is broken. You can figure out what that means.
The commercial features a model sitting on the toilet in public places while talking about the product.
"Nothing is worse than stinking up the shared toilet at work," she says in her British accent. "Or the toilet at a party, or your lovers apartment."
The video was heavily paid-promoted by the company and garnered 22 million views from YouTube.
However, what could be worse than this?! The Go Daddy Ad that aired during last year's Super Bowl!
It features super-model Bar Refaeli, representing the "sexy side" of the website and a geek, known only as "Walter," who represents the tech side.
Here's the top five.

The City Planning Commission certified a proposal to add 240,000-square-feet of office space and a 90,000-square-feet hotel to the historic Chelsea Market building on Ninth Avenue.
The certification means the seven-month-long review and approval process can begin.
Jamestown Properties, which owns the market, says the plan would generate an additional $7 million in property taxes for the city.
The proposal also calls for a $19 million donation to the city for the High Line and would create restrooms and a freight elevator in the market for use by the High Line.
Opponents of the expansion plan say the move would destroy the character of the building and neighborhood.
The first of the public hearings is set for April 16.
NY1 studios are located inside Chelsea Market.

Merlot grows beautifully in the loose, rocky soils of the Columbia Valley; by restricting irrigation, we force the plants to ripen fruit and not grow big canopies of leaves. Early ripening Merlot is carefully fermented and then aged in mostly American Oak barrels to more closely match the intense fruit aromas with the smokey barrels. The core of chalky tannins and the gorgeous fruit aromas and flavors give the wine a unique personality.

Board of Trustees
Wright Memorial Public Library is governed by a Board of Trustees consisting of seven members appointed by the Oakwood Board of Education. The bylaws of the Board of Trustees are attached below. They are also available in the Library's Administrative Offices.
According to the Ohio Revised Code [1], legal responsibility is vested in the Board, which is the policy-making body of the Library. The Board's responsibilities include selection and appointment of the Director; election of the Fiscal Officer; promotion of Library interests; securing of funds adequate for a progressive program; and control of Library funds, property, and equipment. Subject to existing statutes and ordinances, it has power to determine the rules and regulations governing Library service and personnel.
Regular meetings of the Board are held the third Monday of the month as scheduled.
Note: Library policies are created in the Portable Document Format (.pdf). You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to view or print the brochure. Click here [2] to get Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Strategic Plan 2013-2014.pdf [4] | 14.45 KB |
Minutes are posted after being approved at the following month's Board meeting.
An Oakwood School Library was mentioned in 1913 in the Oakwood Village Record. In 1916, the Board of Education passed a resolution to organize the Oakwood Library. It was housed in a Harman School classroom, included books for both adults and children, and was open only a few hours a week.
At the end of 1923, John R. Fletcher, president of the Board of Trustees, deeded the Library a building at 45 Park Avenue. That building, called the "Library House" or the "Park Avenue Library" was a big improvement over the school room, but by 1928 it was already overcrowded.
Orville Wright was appointed to the Board in 1934, serving for the next twelve years.
In 1937, the Library Board of Trustees placed a $40,000 bond issue on the ballot for a library building to be built in a park named for Katharine Wright, Orville and Wilbur Wright's sister. The land was leased from the city for $1.00 per year for 99 years, renewable. Orville Wright offered $100 to underwrite the cost of the campaign to pass the bond issue. The Oakwood Garden Club suggested the name Wright Memorial Library in honor of the three Wrights, and the Board of Trustees approved. The building opened February 14, 1939.
Many people are curious about the Egyptian hieroglyphics above the front door. Peter Dorman of the Egyptian Department of The Metropolitan Museum of Art advised in 1980 that "The inscription seems to make no sense in Egyptian or English transcription, although it is a fascinating bit of wood carving."
A new wing was added in 1964 to house an additional 8,000 volumes and air conditioning was installed. Staff facilities completed that project. In 1972, floor space was doubled to 13,800 square feet. The project enlarged the Children's Department and areas of publicly accessible shelving, and added a meeting room, magazine storage area, book processing department, and staff lounge.
Overflowing book shelves, deterioration of the building itself, and increased demand for audiovisual materials led in 1983 to an addition of 9,850 more square feet and a complete remodeling. An Audiovisual Room, a new Children's Room, and a meeting room with a capacity of 75 were the major additions.
Library use continued to increase. In 1991, the audiovisual department converted to open shelving and Wright Library introduced the computerized catalog. Automation increased the speed and efficiency of repetitive tasks, including many behind-the-scenes library jobs, freeing more staff time for individualized service to patrons.
In 1997, the Library introduced OPLIN – the Ohio Public Library Information Network – which provides Internet resources for public libraries throughout the state. Also new in 1997 was the Electronic Notification System, which electronically calls to notify patrons when they have items on hold or overdue. The Library's web site was launched in 1999. In 2002, Wright Library became the first library in the area to offer a virtual reference service. EBooks were added in 2003. The Library joined the Ohio eBooks project in 2005 and began offering downloadable audio books. Wireless Internet access and e-mailed Library notices via the LibraryElf web site were provided for patrons in 2007. Today Wright Library continues its tradition of friendly, personal service while providing convenient technological advances for library users.
Wright Memorial Public Library has a distinctive role in the community as an institution that fuels the intellect and imagination of people of all ages. Wright Library recognizes that libraries are no longer just physical places containing inventories of books, but have become channels through which knowledge flows to patrons from many sources. The Library strives to serve all patrons, whether on-site or virtual, by providing the resources they seek promptly, completely, accurately, and in a comfortable environment. The Library partners with other organizations to project its reach in the community and strives to expand physical and virtual access to its resources. Wright Library seeks to play an active role in preparing preschoolers to learn, helping students succeed in school, and supporting lifelong learners by providing a broad range of viewpoints, formats, and programs. Wright Memorial Public Library actively works to connect patrons with resources that will enrich their lives.

Summer 2008
Hats, like first husbands in my experience, are usually a mistake. But the invitation was specific. And demanding. A GATSBY party. Wear white. And below that, in imploring cursive: "Hats for the Ladies." It's still unclear to me how hats were involved in Fitzgerald's story—only a few are mentioned in the novel—or, frankly, why any adult above the age of twenty would care to attend this sort of theme party. I'm also still not sure that this part of the story—how Miles Noble's first party at the house it took five years to design and build came to be themed around this book he'd once given my sister—was ever fully explained, but as Peck kept pointing out, I was a foreigner, so what the hell did I know? Like many of her observations, this one wasn't entirely accurate. Peck, short for Pecksland—that's the sort of mother she has—is my half sister. We shared the same father, although he died when I was three and she was seven, after he'd left her mother for mine. I'm as American as she is, with the same navy blue passport. It's just that I never lived in the States and, according to her, I don't know anybody, or any of the sorts of people she would have liked me to know: American celebrities, fashion designers, New York socialites, people who could get a table at a place called the Waverly Inn, those sorts. I didn't own any hats of the kind I imagined Daisy Buchanan might have worn, but on this, as on so many things, Peck was adamant. She not only insisted (read: begged, pleaded, and threatened to kick me out of the house) that I accompany her to Miles Noble's party, but also that I follow the oddly specific sartorial directions. She was often adamant, often about absurd things, but particularly about hats. On this, there'd been no room for argument. She hadn't seen Miles in seven years and she needed someone—me—by her side for this encounter. I'd only been in Southampton for three days and I was in no mood for a party. Even one hosted, as Peck kept dramatically exclaiming, by the first and only man she'd ever loved. It was the Fourth of July, a holiday about which I'd always been reverent, but at that point in the summer I was still jaundiced and cynical, a divorced twenty-eight-year-old aspiring writer whose creative ambitions had led only to a dead-end job as a translator at a lifestyle magazine for tourists in Switzerland. And my only blood relative, aside from the half sister I hardly knew, had only been gone a couple of months. I was far more saddened by Lydia's death than I might have expected, especially as I hadn't seen my aunt in a few years. I was a weepy, confused mess and was finding it hard to be there, in her house, without her. So at first I politely declined Peck's invitation to join her. But being polite and declining invitations do not agree with my glamorously eccentric half sister, and since I was at the very beginning of what was supposed to be a month of sisterly togetherness at the house we'd jointly inherited from Aunt Lydia, I reluctantly agreed to go with her. In the interest of getting along, I pulled the only dress I'd brought with me from my suitcase of jeans and T-shirts and borrowed a hat from the strange assortment Aunt Lydia had left in the house, unwisely choosing a drooing off-white bowler that made my head itch and kept falling over my eyes as Peck inexpertly maneuvered our aunt's ancient station wagon down the driveway. "There's a situation," she announced as she pulled into the sun-dappled street, spraying gravel like she was commandeering a getaway car. This is a standard expression from Peck, who tends to speak in proclamations and for whom life is one long series of situations. A situation could be anything from the mysteriously locked safe in Aunt Lydia's closet that we had not been able to open to the guy wearing nothing but wet tighty-whitey BVDs we'd witnessed just that morning slowly pedaling his bicycle home from the beach. (Or the situation could be me.) From the July 2010 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Mike Klingaman talks to former Baltimore sports stars.
2:11 PM PST, December 27, 2013
Catching Up With ... Former Colts tackle George Kunz
George Kunz should have slowed by now. At 66, the former All-Pro tackle should be golfing or fishing or appearing at autograph shows, a battle-scarred old Colt telling tales about his time in the NFL trenches.
3:58 PM PST, December 19, 2013
Catching Up With ... Former Colt Sam Havrilak
He used to do work that rattled one's teeth. Now, Sam Havrilak's job is to care for them.
11:44 AM PST, December 12, 2013
Catching Up With . . . former NFL defensive lineman Roger Brown
That one of the largest pro football players of his era now owns three restaurants isn't surprising. But how did Roger Brown shed 50 pounds doing it?
3:37 PM PST, December 5, 2013
Catching Up With ... Former Vikings RB Chuck Foreman
Chuck Foreman, meet Earl "The Pearl" Monroe.
3:59 PM PST, November 27, 2013
Catching Up With ... Former Terps QB Dick Shiner
To Maryland football fans he was "The Rifleman," a blond quarterback with a slingshot arm who broke school passing records and led the Terps to signature wins in the 1960s. How hard did Dick Shiner throw? Once, in practice, his peg struck a teammate in the helmet and knocked him out. Another time, in the pros, he broke a receiver's two fingers.
2:58 PM PST, November 21, 2013
Catching Up With . . . Former Colts linebacker Dennis Gaubatz
The letters keep coming, sometimes 20 a month asking for Dennis Gaubatz's autograph. Sometimes it's a football card that the old Colt receives. More often, it's the cover of one of the three national magazines on which Gaubatz appeared in his five years as the rugged middle linebacker on Baltimore's ballyhooed defense of the 1960s.
4:08 PM PST, November 14, 2013
Catching Up With ... Former Colts offensive lineman Elmer Collett
There's a boogie board in his basement, a mountain bike in the garage and a black lab named Jake at the back door, begging for a five-mile walk. At 69, Elmer Collett doesn't want for things to do.
2:27 PM PST, November 7, 2013
Catching Up With . . . Former Colt Roy Jefferson
One year, that's all he spent in Baltimore. But looking back, Roy Jefferson wouldn't trade that time with the Colts for anything in his football career.
1:43 PM PDT, October 31, 2013
Catching Up With ... Ed Modzelewski
Big Mo moves a little slow these days. But then, he's almost 85.
1:12 PM PDT, October 24, 2013
Catching Up With ... Don Buford
His manager, Earl Weaver, called him "the best leadoff man in the game," and who's to argue? In five years with the Orioles, Don Buford batted .270, ran the bases with ferocity and helped the club reach three World Series.
2:08 PM PDT, October 17, 2013
Catching Up With . . . Baltimore native and former Pittsburgh Steeler Mike Collier
Stop by the Martin's Food Store in Hagerstown and you'll find him at his post. Mike Collier is a night manager, his job for 18 years.
2:22 PM PDT, October 10, 2013
Catching Up With . . . former Terp/Packers safety Tom Brown
For five years, he played football for the Green Bay Packers and Vince Lombardi, the quintessential tough coach. So how can Tom Brown now run a youth sports camp in Salisbury that's so relaxed the kids fill out the lineups, everyone gets to play and winning doesn't matter?
3:02 PM PDT, October 3, 2013
Catching Up With . . . Colts center Ken Mendenhall
Remember Ken Mendenhall? Maybe not. The onetime Colts' center toiled in the trenches, seldom screwed up and never pouted or popped off. In truth, Mendenhall was so anonymous that when he retired in 1981, few realized that he had started 118 consecutive games — a franchise mark that stood for a quarter of a century until passed in 2005 by Peyton Manning, then Indianapolis' quarterback.
3:03 PM PDT, September 26, 2013
Catching Up With ... former Baltimore Colts LB Ray May
Ray May doesn't go out much. It's hard to get around when both of your hips are shot, and your legs go numb, and you need a cane, maybe two, to walk.
2:39 PM PDT, September 19, 2013
Catching Up With . . . former Colts quarterback Mike Pagel
It was an everyday throw, as touchdowns go — a 12-yard pass in a meaningless game between two hapless teams in a deserted ballpark. Thirty years later, Mike Pagel can't recall the toss he made in the final two minutes of a 20-10 season-ending victory over the Houston Oilers.
11:57 AM PDT, September 13, 2013
Catching Up With former Baltimore Colts lineman Dan Sullivan
Forty-five years later, Dan Sullivan can still hear his Colts teammate's declaration prior to the 1968 NFL championship game in Cleveland.
12:28 PM PDT, July 19, 2013
Catching Up With... former Orioles outfielder Russ Snyder
He's the forgotten Oriole, one who helped the club soar in 1966 and then fell off the radar. Brooks, Frank and Boog were stars in that championship season. But who remembers Russ Snyder?
3:07 PM PDT, June 9, 2013
Catching Up With ... Linda Warehime
It has been 45 years since she first ran onto the field at Memorial Stadium, an 11-year-old blonde with a big smile and a straw broom that would win her fame. There, during the fifth-inning break in Orioles games, Linda Warehime would sweep off the bases, the mound and the infielders' shoes. Sometimes, she'd also dust off the shoes of the visitors' third-base coach and give him a peck on the cheek — or a playful swat on the fanny — as the fans whooped it up.
2:00 PM PDT, May 24, 2013
Catching Up With ... Tom Marechek
He brought a swagger to lacrosse with his flashy play and endless array of acrobatic shots which, decades later, still rack up views on YouTube. How many different ways could Tom Marechek, onetime star of the Baltimore Bayhawks, score goals? Behind his back. Between his legs. Off the alley-oop pass.
3:18 PM PDT, April 19, 2013
Catching Up With ... Joe Aitcheson
"Gone Ridin' " reads the sign on Joe Aitcheson's door, beneath a wooden silhouette of a horse's head. "Be Back. Maybe."
4:51 PM PST, March 9, 2013
Catching Up With ... Aldo Guidolin
He sits quietly in a wheelchair at a long-term care facility in his native Guelph, Ontario. Aldo Guidolin doesn't talk — multiple strokes have robbed him of his speech — but his brown eyes follow ice hockey games on TV and the movements of those who call on the aging defenseman.
11:12 PM PST, February 14, 2013
Catching Up With ... Fred Carter
The player who scored the biggest basket in Baltimore Bullets history turned 68 Thursday.
2:21 PM PST, January 31, 2013
Catching Up With former Baltimore Colts QB Y.A. Tittle
He was Baltimore's first football star, an oddly named quarterback on a motley Colts team that boasted his strong arm but little else. For three years, Yelberton Abraham (Y.A.) Tittle led the club, won fans' hearts and even got his face plastered on the wrappers of Koester's Bread.
10:08 AM PST, January 17, 2013
Catching Up With ... Kim Herring
There's a whiff of the past in the Ravens' current playoff run. So said Kim Herring, strong safety on the Super Bowl XXXV championship team.
3:19 PM PST, January 10, 2013
Catching Up With ... Jeff Mitchell
Twelve years later, the play sticks in Jeff Mitchell's mind. The one-time Ravens center can still hear the collision, see the Denver player fold and sense the game turning on one bone-jarring hit.
3:14 PM PST, January 3, 2013
Catching Up With ... Barry Krauss
Don't misunderstand. Barry Krauss loved Baltimore — from the crabcakes to the Inner Harbor to the rich provenance of the NFL team that picked him sixth overall in the 1979 draft. But five years later, the Colts' move to Indianapolis proved a godsend for the players, said Krauss, a tough linebacker who played 10 seasons with a horseshoe on his helmet.
1:56 PM PST, December 27, 2012
Catching Up With ... Raul Allegre
The chant began the instant the Colts' placekicker set foot on the field. From deep within Memorial Stadium, football fans growled his name in near-ritualistic delight.
1:31 PM PST, December 20, 2012
Catching Up With ... Andy Nelson
The black-and-white photo hangs unobtrusively on a back wall in Andy Nelson's barbeque joint in Cockeysville. But the picture, taken 53 years ago, captures a pivotal play in the Colts' second world championship, a 31-16 victory over the Giants at a packed Memorial Stadium in 1959.
2:31 PM PST, December 13, 2012
Catching Up With ... Mike Barnes
Baltimore's football teams haven't always lost on last-ditch field goals, as per the past two weeks. Sometimes, they've blocked those kicks.
5:48 PM PST, December 6, 2012
Catching Up With ... Jerry Hill
He lined up at fullback, but from the moment he set foot in training camp in 1961, Jerry Hill understood his role with the Colts.
3:31 PM PST, November 29, 2012
Catching Up With ... Willie Richardson
It was, Willie Richardson said, the perfect send-off.
4:36 PM PST, November 15, 2012
Catching Up With ... Charlie Stukes
Years ago, around town, any mention of the Pittsburgh Steelers would have been met with a shrug. Between 1958, when the Colts won their first NFL championship, and 1968, when they won their third, Baltimore played the Steelers just once.
3:53 PM PST, November 8, 2012
Catching up with ... Ray Perkins
The Colts were struggling. Everyone in Memorial Stadium knew it, from the juiced-up Oakland Raiders to the hushed crowd of 56,368 who'd come to watch the first-ever AFC title game in 1971.
