Up to a certain point, it's easy to see how fantastically famous people made it to where they are. There's some unique and relatively valuable talent involved -- because these are famous people, it's more likely to be something like "big curveball" or "appearing comfortable on camera" than, like, a special skill for kidney transplants or cartography -- and there is further luck that follows on the initial good fortune of having been born with that talent. And then there is invariably a great deal of work. This all makes sense.
It's our right as non-famous people to grouse at how different all that work is from ours, and how those hours spent getting better at rapping or identifying blitzes seem more fun than our hours doing the things we have to do for our paychecks. But it's worth remembering that, sometime before they became inevitable, inexorable and vexingly permanent -- and long before they were announced as the two dominant noise-sources at this year's Home Run Derby -- Pitbull and Chris Berman earned what they got.
It's not that Pitbull was ever all that interesting a performer -- he's sort of always looked like an unusually confident cell-phone salesman who is wearing a white suit for some reason; his raps have always been fast and furiously unmemorable bilingual riffs upon his singular artistic message, which is, "Let's do sex, women." By the same token, Chris Berman's willingness to find a Moody Blues reference for any NFL name he has occasion to say is less impressive for the fact that it has been the same freaking Moody Blues reference for two decades, now. Still, each worked hard to become the weird, prominent things they are. Neither really does much to earn his present ubiquity, but that's what makes their presence at the Home Run Derby so perfect.
To be fair, there's not really a way around the Home Run Derby being overlong and dull. This is because it's repetitive by nature. The long, slack goofiness of it also reflects an institutional choice: much of the non-sports programming that ESPN televises is almost implausibly protracted -- First Take is now on for 13 hours each day, for instance, with 22 minutes of each hour consisting of either Skip Bayless' leatherette sighs or Stephen A. Smith's harumphing preambles. But the Home Run Derby is a bloated, inert and mostly terrible thing because it couldn't really be otherwise: baseball things without baseball context are mostly dull as hell. Home runs in games are great; home runs in batting practice are less great, because who could ever care; home runs hit in batting practice while Chris Berman yowls the titles of Dave Clark Five songs are even less great. (It's worth noting that the Home Run Derby will also be broadcast on ESPN Radio, and worth thinking about what the hell that might actually sound like.)
So: there's only so much that can be done with a long, charmless thing that no one really wants. No amount of Pitbull's I Really Like All Kinds Of Girls raps or Berman bellowing "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" whenever the spirit moves him can make it anything but that. If anything, having Pitbull lip-sync and fist-pump -- with that odd, half-anguished fist-pump look of his -- his way through a few songs before the Home Run Derby and Berman shout throughout serves only to highlight the strange commonalities between all three. That we keep getting the Home Run Derby in defiance of any demand for it is what makes affixing Pitbull and Chris Berman to it so perfect.
Here, all together, are three loud things that don't quite seem to have constituencies of any kind, but which grow and grow by the year and do not appear ever to be going away, or changing, or improving. Putting them all in the same broadcast is not so much an effort to update or save or rejuvenate the Home Run Derby as it is an exercise in multiply reifying it -- have the rapper who is the most like the Home Run Derby perform beforehand, and then have a broadcaster who is mostly the human personification of the Home Run Derby yell about it while the actual Home Run Derby qua Home Run Derby drags out the dingers for four or so hours.
Mostly, though, the whole bloated Homer Run Derby deal -- from the lead-in shows to the multiple on-field reporters, the whole doofy-rote zone-flooding on this little-loved non-event -- is a thing that no one quite asked for and which we nevertheless continue to get. In that sense, it's like Pitbull's Bud Light commercials or Berman just straight-up making the Violence Sounds seven-year-olds make while narrating NFL highlights. It's there because it has always been there, loud and strange and apparently permanent and happening in a sort of consequence-less gravity-free zone in which it has always been happening, the same airless, unreal liminal space in which Adam Sandler movies take place and home shopping programming unfolds, all those little clocks counting down to zero and then starting up again.
That Berman's response to his permanence is to bloat and puff and get still louder -- he's ripened into a vast, orange and somewhat predatory-seeming smugness -- is not to his credit. He seems unshakably convinced that he deserves this, and wears that belief with goofy, grandiose lordliness. That Pitbull seems to have dealt with it in a lighter and more amused way is, on the other hand, the best thing about him. There's not much to be said on behalf of Pitbull's music -- There are a lot of choruses? Synthesized horns are always good for a laugh? -- but Pitbull himself has a sort of plummy dorkiness that's weirdly appealing. His video for "Don't Stop The Party" is ridiculous, but it has more smiling in it than any hip-hop video I've ever seen. Pitbull dances around doofily in white pants and a polo shirt. He cuts a bunch of giddy "yo there are a lot of strippers in my house!" looks to camera. The video ends with him doing a can-opener -- or whatever they call the Cannonball With One Leg Out move where you grew up -- off a boat. At some level, he seems to understand the ridiculousness of his own omnipresence, and handles it with appropriate delight.
This inability to take his prominence seriously is where Pitbull parts ways with Berman and the circa-now Home Run Derby. Because he lives in pure silliness, Pitbull is actually better than the Home Run Derby, is what I'm saying. So that settles that long-running debate.
The old Home Run Derby shows that aired in 1960 were kind of great, but mostly because of their un-greatness. This was not really good television, regardless of how much you might enjoy the warmish inertia of watching Harmon Killebrew mumble and blast dingers in an empty ballpark. The episodes are paced like Ingmar Bergman movies and every word that's said is spectacularly meaningless and stilted, even by the standards of the era. The dramatic stakes are invisibly small and the same thing happens over and over, endlessly. This is what actual baseball games look like to people who don't like baseball.
ESPN used to air these episodes back in the 1980s, but of course could not do that now. They're too slow, for one thing. Mostly, though, the whole thing is way too quiet. No one's arguing, or even really pretending to care all that much about what's happening. It's just a bunch of baseball players trying to hit homers on camera because someone asked them to. It's not good, exactly, but it's nothing like Chris Berman and like Pitbull only in being goofy and boring and benign. In that way, it's an improvement over the Home Run Derby that Pitbull and Berman are supposed to enhance. It's smaller and quieter, and at least has the modesty to end.

An example of poor road design along the entire road - poorly designed roundabouts (3 lanes into 2, 2 not wide enough for busses or lorries), uneven road surfaces, no cambers so when it rains the water runs across the carriageways causing additional driving hazards (the Romans designed cambers to stop this happening).

BUT, they the drivers are well aware of their loads, and on bends, roundabouts should SLOW down, they do not... just watch them on that SDR, they race each other sometimes, especially the open backed tipper trucks.
Just park up and watch them, Im compiling an in car cctv collection of their bad driving, to send to the welsh government agency in charge of Highways.

However, A good road can tolerate a bad driver as can good drivers cope with a bad road, but the combination of both bad roads and bad drivers invariably raised the likelihood of an elevated series of similar accidents such as is being observed on the SDR.
The driver will be held to account for his driving and the road authority must be held to account for the road.
It's only a matter of time before serious injury and loss of life will force action on the issue and of course by then, for someone, that will be too late.

BWW Review: 'A TENDER THING' Fizzles and Frustrates
by Catherine Kustanczy - Aug 20, 2014
Ben Power's 2009 play A Tender Thing is a creative re-imagining of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, with the two title characters as older figures in a lifelong relationship. Soulpepper Theatre Company's current production (on at the Young Centre through October 1st) features real-life couple Joseph Ziegler and Nancy Palk as the two star-crossed lovers. Though their performances are filled with warmth and knowing, they can't escape an essentially dreary production that pulls away the beauty of Shakespeare's language, even as it revels in some over-theatricalized decisions that mute the genuine emotion sitting at the heart of a less-than-perfect work.

Town Square
Anonymity allows open and diverse dialogue
Original post made by Gina Channell-Allen on Nov 15, 2007
Our policy for Letters to the Editor in our print edition requires the authors to give their name and telephone number, although we only print the names and sometimes their communities. We also call to verify the authorship. Old-school journalists (myself included) have been taught that opinions, facts and quotes must be attributed. Shouldn't people posting in our Town Square forum also be required to put their name on their statements and opinions? And doesn't anonymity open up the possibility for abuse without consequences?
On the other hand, how many opinions, questions and comments have been squelched because of the writer's fear of mockery, hostility or even retribution?
New media means new rules and a new way of thinking. To open up the lines of communication, journalists have been forced to embrace anonymity. Or at least endure it. It goes against every fiber of our journalistic beings because we equate anonymous forum posts to unnamed sources, which are taboo.
Alas, anonymous posts do have some merit as they can bring to light issues that otherwise would have remained in the dark. (Remember "Deep Throat?")
However, just as with unnamed sources, one must question the authenticity of the statements. Moreover, anonymity should be viewed as a privilege and shouldn't be a means to abuse or inflame simply because it's available.
So we will continue to allow anonymous posts to allow an open line of communication and enhance the diversity of the conversation. But we will also continue to monitor carefully based on the site's terms of use and our own journalistic guidelines.
Forum users are encouraged to assist us by alerting us to posts with which they are uncomfortable and by modeling good behavior with constructive, compassionate comments and questions.
If the Weekly staff feels a forum is becoming hostile or destructive, we will intervene and even close the thread (not allow further posts) if necessary.
Because our goal is to provide a forum to allow community members to engage in enlightening and educational discourse, we would prefer it not come to that.
Gina Channell-Allen, a 20-year journalism veteran, is the president of the East Bay division of Embarcadero Publishing Company, president of the Pleasanton Weekly and publisher of the Danville Weekly. Send questions to email@example.com.

Gina, you bring an interesting perspective on anonymity from the media's point of view. I agree wholeheartedly and can only hope participants recognize it as the privilege you so accurately describe it to be. I suppose graffiti, too, can be an artistic expression - analogous to opinions - so long as it doesn't incite hatred, violence or venture into the realm of vandalism... I sometimes sense anonymous forum posts are simply an extension of this notion. Maintain your vigilence and keep up the good work!
on Jan 5, 2008 at 4:46 pm
As much as I agree with the time-tested value of signed opinions, I can suggest at least one other reason for allowing anonymous contributions. These allow citizens who are also public employees a means of sharing their insights and concerns -- often better informed than those not on the "inside" -- with the community they serve.
It can be very frustrating to have to work in silence while caring greatly about, and wanting to contribute to, consideration of matters that significantly affect the City and its agencies. In this regard anonymity provides a voice to the otherwise voiceless.

There are 100 U.S. Senators. It's a unique job, one that few will ever hold in their lives, but turns out there are even fewer Senate pages -- just 30.
An Arizona student just got accepted to serve in that role. She will be a Senate page for Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Thursday, we caught up with this amazing student at Higley High.
The Quinlan family is familiar with Washington, D.C. and the corridors of power. Their son Riley spent time as a page in Congress, and now younger daughter Keeley will do the same in the Senate.
Her acceptance letter was signed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. It's being saved, along with mementos of Keeley's other accomplishments.
"I'm hoping to gain exposure since I'll be around prominent leaders and I'll get to see history happen, and just to experience a lot," she says.
The 30 pages will have a lot of busy work to do, and they will meet some of the most powerful people in the country.
"We carry legislation and bills. We deliver them and we carry messages and we answer phones and we prepare the Senate chamber as well," says Keeley.
"Every child in the United States has this opportunity. I think the exposure that they gain and learning to work with others that may be completely different from who you are, just makes you a more well-rounded individual," says mom Wendy Quinlan.
Keeley's brother was the reason she applied to be a Senate page. He knows his little sis will do well.
"It's very real world. You have to live on your own. Do your own laundry, set your own bedtime. You do school pretty much for your own. It's all on your own," says Riley Quinlan.
She's been to Washington before -- now she's ready to go to do some work there.
Keeley will leave the Arizona sunshine after the New Year and spend 5 months working in D.C. She's excited.

E\T\C UK supplied widescreen projection for the RBI Achievement Awards event at Grosvenor House, London for producer Tom Perkins and his client, Reed Business International, one of the UK's largest business communications specialists.
After delivering a highly successful circular 'in-the-round' projection for Perkins earlier in the year at the same venue, E\T\C was asked to come up with a new video solution for the RBI event.
E\T\C UK supplied two of their new Christie 25K HD projectors, two Barco R18 projectors, and an OnlyView control system for the show. The projectors were positioned side by side on the balcony of the main room at Grosvenor House, their images soft-edged together to form one large super-bright 70' wide by 18' deep image in 16:9 format.
The event started with speeches followed by a dinner and then the awards.
Using OnlyView, E\T\C UK created 'windows' in the main screen for playback and IMAG video footage (projected via the R18s) to appear during the speech section of the evening and again for some of the Awards presentations.
The 'Window' playback footage and VT play-in material was supplied from the client's own PPU, overseen by Perkins. A live 4-camera IMAG mix supplied by StageRight was also fed into the OnlyView system, and woven into the show by E\T\C's programmer and operator Philip Pieridis. He comments, "Creating this effect in OnlyView is extremely quick and easy—one of the great advantages and flexibility of this system, especially when you have limited onsite programming time."
Perkins also supplied the E\T\C team with a series of digital backgrounds—consisting of both stills and video clips—which were loaded into OnlyView and projected across the whole screen and the entire surface area of the stage and set, using moving images highly effectively as projected scenery.
Later on in the evening, "picture-in-picture" effects were created using OnlyView and the Christie 25s. The projectors were fed live camera footage that was projected onto the screen and over the stage and set, making live, quirky, and funky backdrops out of real time audience footage and action.
The show backgrounds, sponsors logos, and general branding messages for the night were also all programmed by Pieridis from within OnlyView.
The entire event, including creation and sourcing of all the footage and video clips, was compiled by E\T\C UK working closely with Perkins in less than a week, and programmed in four days at E\T\C's HQ in Barking, East London. With no heavy rendering time required in OnlyView—the software works in real time—this process is extremely fast.
Also on the E\T\C crew were technician Briony Margets, and head of video Andy Joyes, who comments, "Creating the set projection using the two Christie K25s gave the client the kind of animated set wash and image brightness that would previously have been impossible. OnlyView allows us to create exciting effects very easily, and also to install and run the show under the time pressures that are the norm for these kinds of events."

The Minnesota Golden Gophers thought they may have lost quarterback MarQueis Gray to a serious leg injury on Saturday, but according to Phil Miller of the Star Tribune, it's likely just a high ankle sprain. An MRI on his left leg found no broken bones, and no structural damage to the actual knee, when many were suggesting it could be a broken leg initially.
High ankle sprains typically require two to four weeks of recovery time, which is significantly less than the time it would take for a player to come back from a broken leg.
But Gray told [Minnesota head coach Jerry] Kill after the game that the injury wasn't serious, and athletic trainer Ed Lochrie tentatively confirmed the diagnosis after consulting with physicians about Gray's MRI. Lochrie plans additional consultations, Kill said, but for now, the Gophers are proceeding as though Gray will return within a few weeks.
It will all come down to how serious the injury is, as an ankle sprain can differ in severity drastically from one case to another. Players have missed months over them, while others have been able to suit back up after missing just a week. The piece also notes Kill's confidence in Gray to make a speedy recovery, calling him a "tough, tough kid."
Minnesota (3-0) was able to secure a 28-23 victory over Western Michigan thanks to backup quarterback Max Shortell. He led the Gophers on three consecutive touchdown drives, and gave the team a lot of confidence in his abilities going forward, which is always a positive when a team is without its starting quarterback.

A North Carolina House debate Wednesday on a resolution backing constitutional gun rights prompted concerns from Democrats who argued that it criticized national leaders for proposing rules the resolution says would infringe on those rights.
The resolution backed by a 73-35 party-line vote doesn't have much force of law and will be sent to members of North Carolina's congressional delegation.
Resolution sponsor Rep. Michael Speciale, R-Craven, said the resolution's message is simple - the right to bear arms should not be infringed upon and any gun restrictions coming from Washington are unconstitutional.
"This resolution does not advocate anything," Speciale said during the 30-minute debate. "This says, 'don't infringe on our rights.'"
Democrats said they also supported the Second Amendment but took issue with language in the resolution, including words saying the president and vice president and members of Congress "have proposed adopting laws, regulations, or actions that would have the effect of infringing on the right of Americans to keep and bear arms."
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have pushed unsuccessfully to date for stronger firearms laws in the wake of recent mass shootings, including one at a Connecticut school. The U.S. Senate voted against legislation that would have expanded background checks for firearm purchases to gun shows and online sales.
Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland, called the references to the leaders "gratuitous" and said legal precedent and other case law doesn't support the resolution that Washington isn't permitted to legislate about aspects of gun regulation.
"To pass a resolution that the federal government has no right to legislation in these areas at all I think would be a shock to all," he said.
Democrats also questioned Speciale about whether he believed banning "assault weapons" or automatic weapons was justified. Some Republican allies came to Speciale's defense.
"If you can't support this resolution, what can you support?" asked Rep. Dana Bumgardner, R-Gaston.

Amarillo, TX - A man and a woman from Bushland are killed in a rollover accident just south of Hereford.
According to DPS officials, the two were driving a pickup and towing a horse trailer Saturday morning.
The couple was headed south on FM 809, when the driver crossed into the other lane and over-corrected, causing the vehicle to roll.
They were identified as Juan Vasquez-Chavez and Feliciana Vasquez. Juan, who was driving the car during the accident, was trapped inside the vehicle and was pronounced dead on the scene.
Feliciana was ejected, and was flown to Northwest Texas Hospital. She later died at the hospital.
Neither were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident. Juan was 89 years old. Feliciana was 88 years old.

Partners in saving
Surrey and East County Councils say they want to join forces to save millions of pounds.
The two local authorities are finalising plans to work together to drive harder bargains with suppliers they both use.
They claim collective buying power will cut shared costs by millions of pounds each year.
The partnership will be considered by East Sussex's cabinet on 24th July. Peter Jones, the leader of East Sussex County Council, said it was a ground breaking partnership which would lead to better deals.
– David Hodge, Surrey County Council leader.
The public sector should be seen as a single team co-operating to save money wherever possible while continuing to provide excellent services."

An article on physicians using iPhones and iPads during daily clinical work appeared today in Crain's New York, written by Judy Messina. I am mentioned in the middle part.
At the end is a quick quote on the long-running move to use cell phones as the primary mode of physician communication instead of one-way pagers. This is how my daily practice works today.
"In the old days, if you had to get in touch with house staff, the only way was to page them," said Dr. Austrian, who is part of an NYU Langone pilot that is testing the use of cellphones as a replacement for pagers. "You had to stop what you were doing and find the nearest phone and respond to the page. That was completely distracting."
Check out my prior post on how I use the iPad in anesthesiology.
