The Tribune Media Company, also known as Tribune Media, formerly known as the Tribune Company, is an American multimedia corporation headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Tribune is publicly traded but tightly held by three former senior debt holders: Oaktree Capital Management (which owns a 23% interest), Angelo, Gordon & Co. and JPMorgan Chase (which both own 9%).[1][2]
Tribune Media is one of the largest television broadcasting companies, with 42 stations across the United States. Before it spun off the papers to Tribune Publishing in 2014, it was the nation's second-largest newspaper publisher (behind the Gannett Company), with ten daily newspapers and several commuter tabloids including the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Orlando Sentinel, Sun-Sentinel and The Baltimore Sun. Through Tribune Broadcasting, the company owns 23 television stations, national cable superstation WGN America, regional cable news channel Chicagoland Television (CLTV) and Chicago's WGN radio. Investment interests include Food Network (which the company maintains a 31% ownership interest).
Tribune Technology LLC, another subsidiary, manages the interactive operations of major daily newspapers such as the Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times and their associated websites. Its national network sites owned with partners include CareerBuilder, Cars.com, Apartments.com and Topix.net. Its Tribune Media Services division provides syndicated content to print and electronic media. Key company investment interests include CareerBuilder (30.8% owned), Classified Ventures (28%) and Topix.com (34%).[citation needed]
Print pioneer[edit]
The Tribune Company was founded in 1847; that year, on June 10, the Chicago Daily Tribune (after which the company is named) published its first edition[3] in a one-room plant located at LaSalle and Lake Streets. The original press run consisted of 400 copies printed on a hand press. The Tribune constructed its first building, a four-story structure at Dearborn and Madison Streets, in 1869.[citation needed] In October 1871, the Great Chicago Fire destroyed the building, along with most of the city. The Tribune printed its first edition since the disaster two days later with an editorial declaring "Chicago Shall Rise Again." A native Ohioan who first acquired an interest in the Tribune in 1855, Joseph Medill gained full control of the newspaper in 1874 and ran it until his death in 1899.[3]
Medill's two grandsons, cousins Robert R. McCormick and Joseph Medill Patterson, assumed leadership of the company in 1911.[3] That same year, the Chicago Tribune's first newsprint mill opened[3] in Thorold, Ontario, Canada. The mill marked the beginnings of the Canadian newsprint producer later known as QUNO, in which Tribune held an investment interest until 1995.
Patterson's establishment of the company's second newspaper, the New York News in 1919.[3] Tribune's ownership of the New York City tabloid[3] was considered "interlocking" due to an agreement between McCormick and Patterson.
The paper launched a European edition during World War I.[3] To compete with the Saturday Evening Post and Collier's in 1924, the Tribune Company launched a weekly national magazine, Liberty, run by a subsidiary, McCormick-Patterson.[3]
Move into broadcasting[edit]
The company entered broadcasting in 1924 by leasing WDAP, one of Chicago's first radio stations. Tribune later changed the station's call letters to WGN, reflecting the Tribune's nickname, "World's Greatest Newspaper." WGN was purchased in 1926 and went on to be first in the radio industry.[3]
In 1925, the company completed its new headquarters and one of Chicago's first "skyscrapers", the Tribune Tower. Also that year, the company decided to fund the future Joseph Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University.[3]
Liberty magazine eventually exceeded Collier's circulation, but lacked enough advertising and was sold in 1931. The Tribune's European edition was also cut. However, Tribune launched the Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate in 1933.[3]
With the death of Joe Patterson's sister and owner of the Washington Times-Herald, Eleanor (Cissy) Patterson, in 1948, the Tribune Company purchased the paper and operated it until 1954, when The Washington Post absorbed the Times-Herald. The Tribune expecting a printer's strike in 1948 printed their paper early, incorrectly proclaiming "Dewey Defeats Truman" in the 1948 presidential election. Tribune moved into the television industry, then in its infancy, in 1948, with the establishments of WGN-TV in Chicago in April and WPIX in New York City in June of that year. In 1956, Tribune Company purchased William Randolph Hearst's Chicago American.[3]
In the 1960s, the company entered the fast-growing Florida market, acquiring the Fort Lauderdale-based Gore Newspapers Company, owner of the Pompano Sun-Sentinel and Fort Lauderdale News in 1963 and the Sentinel-Star Company, owners of the Orlando Sentinel, in 1965. Also in 1963, some of part of the folded New York Mirror were purchased. The company increased its broadcast station holdings with the acquisition of radio station WQCD-FM in New York City in 1964 and independent television station KWGN-TV in Denver in 1965. While in 1967, a Chicago suburban tabloid, The Suburban Trib, began printing.[3]
The corporation was reorganized in 1968 by reincorporating in Delaware, ending its Illinois incorporation, splitting its stock by four for one and formign a separate Chicago Tribune subsidiary.[3]
The 1970s was another decade of acquisitions including a Los Angeles shopper in 1973 which became the Los Angeles Daily News.[3] In 1973, the company began sharing stories among 25 subscribers via the newly formed news service, the Knight News Wire. By 1990, this service was known as KRT (Knight-Ridder/Tribune) and provided graphics, photo and news content to its member newspapers. When The McClatchy Company purchased Knight-Ridder Inc. in 2006,[4] KRT became MCT (McClatchy-Tribune Information Services), which is jointly owned by the Tribune Company and McClatchy.
The company stopped publishing the tabloid Chicago Today in 1974 with the Tribune going to all-day editions. With an approved changes to the Tribune bylaws in 1974 triggered a lawsuit by shareholders seeing this as moving the company towards taking it public. The lawsuit by Josephine Albright – Joseph Patterson's daughter – and her son, Joseph Albright, was dismissed in 1979.[3]
The Tribune Company entered first-run television syndication in 1975 with the debut of the U.S. Farm Report. The Times-Advocate in Escondido, California was purchased in 1977. In 1978, WGN-TV became a "superstation" on cable. The New York Daily News saw multiple strikes in 1978.[3]
In 1980, the Daily News added an afternoon edition to go head-to-head with the New York Post, but failed, with the discontinuance of the new edition in 1981. Also that year, the Independent Network News (an evening newscast intended for independent stations) was launched as the company's second syndicated television program, originating from WPIX. The New York Daily News was put up for sale in 1981, but a proposed deal fell through by 1982. While in August, Tribune purchased the Chicago Cubs baseball team from William Wrigley III.[3]
All of Tribune's television stations were placed under the company's umbrella subsidiary, Tribune Broadcasting Company (TBC), in 1981. The next year had all Tribune's broadcast syndication properties, including the U.S. Farm Report, placed under the Tribune Entertainment Company (TEC).[3]
As a public corporation[edit]
In 1983, The Suburban Trib was replaced by zone editions of the main paper. That October, the Tribune Company went public with the sale of 7.7 million shares at $26.75 a share. With addition of Los Angeles's KTLA to the Tribune Broadcasting television station roster for a record $510 million in 1985, due to FCC cross-media rules Tribune was forced to sell the Los Angeles Daily News. With the purchase of KTLA, Tribune became the fourth largest television station owner, behind the three major broadcast networks. The Daily Press in Newport News, Virginia, joined Tribune's newspaper group in 1986 but sold off the Daily Press's cable television operations. To counteract a possible hostile corporate takeover in 1987, the Tribune Company developed a plan that allowed shareholders rights to purchase additional preferred shares from a new series of stock in the event of a buyer buying 10 percent of the company's common stock or a tender offer for the company. Shareholders also ratified a two-for-one stock split. Tribune Entertainment had a success with the 1987 launch of the syndicated daytime talk show Geraldo. Five weekly papers in Santa Clara County, California were purchased by Tribune in 1988.[3]
In the wake of a dispute with some of its labor unions, the Daily News was sold to British businessman Robert Maxwell in 1991.[3]
With the changes that came about in the media industry with the greater public access to the internet in the 1990s, Tribune Publishing, Tribune's publishing unit, began to trim back the number of newspapers it owned. Tribune Broadcasting grew and Tribune Company launched two new divisions, Tribune Ventures and Tribune Education. In 1993, Tribune Broadcasting launched Chicagoland Television (CLTV), the first 24-hour, local cable news channel to serve the Chicago area. Online editions of Tribune's newspapers were being developed starting in 1995 with the Chicago Tribune's digital edition launching in 1996. Tribune (which held a 20% interest), also in 1996, created a joint venture with American Online (which held an 80% interest) called Digital City, Inc. to set up a series of Digital City websites to provide interactive local news and information services. By 1997, Tribune Publishing had only four remaining daily newspapers: Chicago Tribune, the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, the Orlando Sentinel, and Virginia-based Daily Press. Tribune also set up its Tribune Ventures division to take stakes in newer media businesses. The ventures unit purchased in the middle of that year included interests in AOL (4 percent), electronic payment specialist CheckFree Corporation (5 percent), search engine company Excite, Inc. (7 percent), Mercury Mail, Inc. (13 percent), Open Market, Inc. (6 percent), and Peapod LP (13 percent). Also that year, the Orlando Sentinel and Time Warner Cable joined together to create another local news cable channel. Tribune also purchased a 31% stake in the Food Network.[3]
The company began the 1990s with six television stations, however changes in federal radio and television ownership regulations allowed Tribune to expand its television station holdings over the next decade. Tribune Broadcasting purchased ten additional stations by 1997, six of them were through that year's purchase of Renaissance Broadcasting for $1.1 billion in cash. Tribune purchased a 12.5% stake in Warner Bros. Television Network in August 1995; the company had ten of its 16 stations affiliated with the network (including five that were signed as charter affiliates through The WB's initial 1993 affiliation deal with Tribune). Tribune invested $21 million in The WB in March 1997, which increased its equity interest in the network to 21.9 percent.[3]
In November 1994, Tribune Broadcasting formed a partnership with several minority partners, including Quincy Jones, to form Qwest Broadcasting; Qwest operated as a technically separate company from Tribune (which owned stations in a few markets where Tribune had already owned stations, including WATL in Atlanta, which was operated alongside Tribune-owned WGNX);[5]
Tribune entered into a new business sector when it formed Tribune Education in 1993. The sector grew and provided high profit margins. From then until 1996, Tribune used $400 million to purchase several publishers of education material: Contemporary Books, Inc., The Wright Group, Everyday Learning Corporation, Jamestown Publishers, Inc., Educational Publishing Corporation, NTC Publishing Group, and Janson Publications. This group was the number one publisher in 1996 of supplemental education materials. Tribune Education took an 80.5% stake in mass market children's book publisher Landoll in 1997.[3]
Tribune traded WQCD-FM to Emmis Communications, in exchange for two television stations (WXMI in Grand Rapids, Michigan and KTZZ in Seattle, Washington) in June 1998. It later exchanged WGNX in Atlanta for KCPQ-TV in Seattle in March 1999. Later that year, the station purchased WEWB in Albany, New York and WBDC in Washington, D.C. Tribune Interactive, Inc. was incorporated to handle all the various websites for its publishing, television and radio, and newspaper properties. In 1999, Tribune racked up $1.47 billion in profits during the fiscal year on total revenues of $2.92 billion, in part from gains made on the sale of some of its internet investments. In February 2000, Tribune acquired the remaining 67% interest in Qwest Broadcasting for $107 million, effectively adding two more stations to its roster, increasing its reach 27% of the country.[3]
In June 2000, the Los Angeles-based Times Mirror Company merged with Tribune, effectively doubling the size of Tribune's newspaper holdings. The $8.3 billion transaction was the largest acquisition in the history of the newspaper industry.[6] The Times Mirror merger added seven daily newspapers to the Tribune group, including the Los Angeles Times, the Long Island-based Newsday, The Baltimore Sun and the Hartford Courant.[3]
Tribune became the only media company that owned both newspapers and television stations in the three largest media markets of New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago.[3] Among other advantages from the merger, including various economies of scale, Tribune's newspapers could now effectively compete for national advertising being the third largest newspaper group. Tribune Media Net, the national advertising sales organization of Tribune Publishing, was established in 2000 to take advantage of the company's expanded scale and scope. By 2001, revenues had grown to $5.25 billion.[3]
However, Tribune needed to pay down some of the debt that it accrued through the Times Mirror purchase; as a result, Tribune moved to sell various non-newspaper holdings operated by Times Mirror. Flight information provider Jeppesen Sanderson was sold to Boeing for $1.5 billion in October 2000. Also in October, the Institute for International Research purchased AchieveGlobal, a consulting and training firm for $100 million. Times Mirror Magazines was sold to Time, Inc. in November of that year for $475 million. Tribune divested itself of its Tribune Education division to The McGraw-Hill Companies for about $686 million in September 2000. After all these sales, Tribune still had $4 billion in long-term debt. Tribune started a joint venture with Knight-Ridder, CareerBuilder that same year.[3]
After the 2001 September 11 attacks, the media sector suffered a greater decrease in advertising revenue. This forced a 10% reduction in staff companywide and $151.9 million restructuring charge.[3]
In 2002 and 2003, Tribune Broadcasting bought four additional television stations, increasing its total television holdings to 26 stations, some of which were acquired via trades of the company's radio stations; this left its one-time radio flagship WGN (AM) in Chicago as the company's only remaining radio station. Tribune Publishing purchased the monthly lifestyle publication Chicago from Primedia, Inc. in August 2002. Hoy, a Spanish language newspaper owned by the company, expanded into with the launch of local editions in Chicago (in September 2003) and Los Angeles (in March 2004).[3]
Tribune also launched daily newspapers targeting younger urban commuters, including the Chicago Tribune's RedEye edition in 2003, followed by an investment in AM New York.[3] Also in 2003, Tribune also pushed for the FCC to loosen its regulations barring cross-ownership of newspapers, and television and/or radio outlets in a single market; Tribune would have to sell either a newspaper or television station in Los Angeles, New York City and Hartford while its combination of the Sun-Sentinel and WBZL-TV in Miami/Fort Lauderdale, Florida was given a temporary waiver. The FCC granted waivers for the other newspaper-television combinations in June 2003.[3]
In 2006, Tribune acquired the minority equity interest in AM New York, giving it full ownership of the newspaper. The company sold both Newsday and AM New York to Cablevision Systems Corporation in 2008.
Tribune's partnership in The WB ended in 2006, when it was shut down – along with CBS-owned UPN – to create The CW Television Network, which is jointly owned by CBS and Time Warner and is affiliated with several Tribune-owned stations;[7] Tribune does not maintain an ownership interest in the network.
Zell ownership[edit]
On April 2, 2007, Chicago-based investor Sam Zell announced plans to buy out the media company for $34.00 a share, totalling $8.2 billion.[8] Zell's intentions were to turn the company private. The deal was approved by 97% of the company's shareholders on August 21, 2007.[9] Privatization of the Tribune Company occurred on December 20, 2007 with termination of trading in Tribune stock at the close of the market.[10]
On December 21, 2007, Tribune and Oak Hill Capital Partners-controlled Local TV, LLC announced plans to collaborate in the formation of a "broadcast management company" (later named The Other Company).[11] On January 31, 2008, Tribune Company announced it would purchase real estate leased from TMCT, LLC, which includes properties used by the Los Angeles Times, Newsday, Baltimore Sun and Hartford Courant. The company received an option to purchase the real estate for $175 million through the 2006 restructuring of TMCT, LLC.
In addition, Tribune announced the sale of Tribune Studios and related real estate in Los Angeles to private equity firm Hudson Capital, LLC, for $125 million. The parties also agreed to a five-year lease allowing its television station in the city, KTLA, to continue operating at the location through 2012.[12]
On April 28, 2008, Tribune completed an acquisition of real estate from TMCT Partnership.[13] On July 29, 2008, Cablevision Systems Corporation completed its purchase of Newsday from Tribune.[14]
On September 8, 2008, United Airlines lost (and later the same day almost regained) $1 billion in market value when an archived Chicago Tribune article from 2002 about United filing for bankruptcy appeared in the "most viewed" category on the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's website. Google News index's next pass found the link as new news. Income Security Advisors found the Google result to be new news, which was passed along to Bloomberg News where it became a headline (Tribune, which owns both papers, noted that one click on a story in non-peak hours could flag an article as "most viewed"[15]).
Bankruptcy filing[edit]
On December 8, 2008, faced with a high debt load related to the company going private and a sharp downturn in newspaper advertising revenue, Tribune filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.[16] Company plans originally called for it to emerge from bankruptcy by May 31, 2010,[17] but the company would end up in protracted bankruptcy proceedings for another four years. With the company's overall debt totaling $13 billion, it was the largest bankruptcy in the history of the American media industry.[8]
On October 27, 2009, Thomas S. Ricketts purchased a majority ownership (95%) of the Chicago Cubs. The sale also included Wrigley Field and a 25 percent ownership stake in Comcast SportsNet Chicago, as part of a deal designed to help Tribune restructure.[18] In October 2010, Randy Michaels, who was made CEO after Zell's purchase of the company, was removed and replaced by an executive council. The New York Times had reported earlier in the month about his "outlandish, often sexual behavior" that he also exercised in his previous job at Clear Channel Communications.[19][20]
Employees ownership[edit]
On July 13, 2012, Tribune Company received approval of a reorganization plan to allow the company to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in a Delaware bankruptcy court. Oaktree Capital Management, JPMorgan Chase and Angelo, Gordon & Co., which are the company's senior debt holders, assumed control of Tribune's properties upon the company's exit from bankruptcy on December 31, 2012.[1][2]
On February 26, 2013, it was reported that Tribune hired investment firms Evercore Partners and J.P. Morgan to oversee the sale of its newspapers.[21] On July 1, 2013, Tribune announced that it would purchase the 19 stations owned by Local TV, LLC outright for $2.75 billion.[22] The FCC approved the acquisition on December 20,[23] and the sale was completed one week later on December 27.[24]
Tribune later announced its return to television production on March 19, 2013, with the relaunch of the production and distribution division as Tribune Studios (not to be confused with the former name of Los Angeles studio facility Sunset Bronson Studios).[25]
Spin-off of publishing unit[edit]
On July 10, 2013, Tribune announced that it would split into two companies, spinning off the newspapers that are part of its publishing division into the Tribune Publishing Company. Its broadcasting, digital media and other assets (including Tribune Media Services, which among others, provides news and features content for Tribune's newspapers) would remain with the Tribune Company.[26] The split came in the footsteps of similar spin-outs by News Corporation and Time Warner, who sought to improve the profitability of their properties by separating them from the struggling print industry.[27]
On November 20, 2013, Tribune announced it would cut 700 jobs in its newspaper operations, citing falling advertising revenue[28]
On August 4, 2014, the split was finalized, with the publishing arm spun-out as Tribune Publishing, and the remainder of the company renamed Tribune Media.[27][29][30]

CATEGORIES DVDsThis week's DVD releases all stretch the imagination in one way or another -- and all take place in unusual worlds. 'The Invention of Lying' takes place in an alternate world where everyone tells the truth; 'Gamer' and 'Pandorum' take place in dystopian futures where humankind needs to be saved by heroes of one sort or another; and 'Whiteout' takes place at the end of the world (Antarctic) with a heroine who would make V.I. Warshowski proud. 'The Invention of Lying'
What It's About: This romantic comedy from writer-actor-comedian Ricky Gervais takes place in an alternate reality where lying -- even the concept of a lie -- just doesn't exist. Everyone is brutally -- too brutally -- honest with their thoughts and feelings -- until pudgy loser Mark (Gervais) suddenly develops the ability to lie and parlays his new found "power" into celebrity, wealth and romance.
It's Kinda Like: 'Liar Liar' meets 'There's Something About Mary" without the crude humor
What We Say: 'The Invention of Lying' starts out with a wonderful premise and then falls flat as the film progresses -- much like Gervais' stint hosting the Golden Globes. Much of the last half of the film revolves around Gervais' riff on religion -- he creates a Man in the Sky who controls everything -- but even that bit, which starts out with Gervais reading 10 propositions written on two pizza cartons, gets belabored and loses its steam before the finale. Thank the Man in the Sky for Jennifer Garner's great role, however; she's the film's saving grace.
What It's About: A sci-fi thriller set in a near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a terrifying new hybrid: Humans control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online games. The latest game is "Slayers," a first-person shooter game in which players use real prisoners as avatars in battles to the death. Enter one fighter named Kable (Gerard Butler,) a superstar who decides its time to break out of prison and put an end to the technology and save humankind.
It's Kinda Like: 'Rollerball' meets 'Total Recall' and 'Running Man'
What We Say: Special effects and a lot of noise can't make up for this outing's mess of a story line. We've seen the premise too many times before: big bad entrepreneur/corporation) wants to manipulate the masses with high-tech gadgets and/or games -- and one lone hero stops him/it. This ain't your daddy's 'Tron'
What It's About: Far-future sci-fi horror thriller has two astronauts awakening from hyper-sleep in what seems to be an abandoned, powerless space ship. They have no memory of where they are and how they got there, but it soon becomes apparent that they're all that remains of a crew manning a gigantic ark (with deep-frozen people and plant and animal genetic material) sent to populate a world similar to the Earth. As one of the men explores the craft, he uncovers weird secrets, horrible monsters and insanity.
It's Kinda Like: 'Silent Running' meets 'Resident Evil'
What We Say: This choppy, dark (dark as in no light in many of the scenes) claustrophobic maze of a film jumps right in with the scare tactics but despite its interesting premise (which reminds us somewhat of Brain Aldiss' classic novel 'Starship') the journey from one end of the ship to the other -- to restart a nuclear reactor -- ends up being too pat. We've seen this trip too many times before (all the 'Alien' films) and the monsters and scary situations can't make up for the lax story line and over-acting. Despite a twist ending, we're just kept in the dark too long.
What It's About: Kate Beckinsale plays the only U.S. Marshal stationed at a South Pole research base who's thrust into Antarctica's first murder investigation just days before her tour of duty is over. A body has turned up on the ice near another research outpost and the search for the killer turns up other bodies. Who's killing these men and why? If you paid attention at the beginning of the film you'll know why, so all that remains is who. And the Marshall better hurry, cause the biggest storm of the year -- a whiteout -- is bearing down on them, ushering in six months of darkness.
It's Kinda Like: 'Fargo' meets 'Heist'
What We Say: This mystery-thriller gets snowed down with a weak story line and weak pacing. There's no opportunity to get to know or like the leads (a gratuitous semi-nude shower scene with the always lovely Beckinsale is so out of place we had to laugh) and there's too many false endings to sustain any suspense. Even with the whiteout you can see the ending coming a mile away.

Men's Cross Country Team Runs Well at Disney Classic
FORT MYERS, FL – The Florida Gulf Coast University men's cross country team put together one of their best efforts of the fall at the 8K Disney Classic in Orlando on Saturday.
Sophomore Edison Vasquez, who set a school record in September at the Gator Invitational, was pushed by a talented field, including numerous Division I athletes, to finish 147th overall in 28:34. His time was the second fastest in school history.
"Edison continues to run stronger and stronger each week," said coach Chris Highfield. "He has figured out how to put together a complete race and is running the best he has in the past two years."
Freshman Ronald Jean-Giles (Naples/Lely) was second for FGCU, finishing 203rd in 30:54. Classmates Bryan Spiewak of Coral Springs (213th in 31:38), Rob Clendening (225th in 32:03), Lyle Edixon (235th in 33:39) and senior Chris Hernandez of Fort Myers (249th in 35:44) rounded out the times for the Eagles. Both Spiewak and Edixon posted personal records for the 8-K event.
The Eagles finished with 777 points, edging Saint Leo (790) for 26th. The University of Florida, led by individual champion Ryder Leary in a time of 24:46, won the team event.

Firsthand: A Look at Yoga and Religious Belief
Raised as a Presbyterian, Douglas, 60, began pulling away from her family religion at the age of 8. "I asked the minister 'Who wrote the Bible?' and I could tell it upset him," she recalls. "I began to wonder about the whole deal." She started doing yoga in 1973 in Berkeley, California, after moving from New York a few years before. A doctoral intern in psychology at the time, she was counseling high-risk clients who were pushing her own stress to risky levels. When a friend suggested yoga for some relief, she tried a class in her neighborhood, got what she came for, and has been doing it ever since. She got her toes wet in Buddhism after meeting a Tibetan Buddhist monk whose fathomless presence made her profoundly curious. After a rigorous tour through Zen, she attended a vipassana retreat led by American teachers Jack Kornfield and Joseph Goldstein. Hearing the Dharma from people of her own culture and age group made all the difference. Mindfulness meditation became her spiritual practice. Now, it's her career.
So, Buddha-like, Douglas waves off supposed clashes like the Hindu chanting in yoga class. "I just allow the experience to be felt and don't worry about the rest," she smiles.
John Monastra
John Monastra, who converted to Islam in 1984, prays to Allah five times a day as commanded in the Koran. He also fasts for the 30 days of Ramadan and, with his family, has already made his Hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca, required of all Muslims once in their lifetime. Clearly Monastra does not do things halfway. So when he says that Islam and his yoga practice complement each other beautifully, you know he's considered the matter with great care.
"The essence of all religions is to devote your whole being to God, even in the midst of worldly life," notes Monastra, 41, a library science data analyst in Herndon, Virginia. "Islam gets us to do that by having us pray five times a day and otherwise remind ourselves of the presence of God. As Patanjali says, yoga is the stilling of fluctuations in consciousness to concentrate on the object of concentration. For a religious person, that's God."
A Sicilian-American, Monastra drifted away from his family's Catholicism when he started college and tried on a succession of spiritual traditions for size, including yoga. While in graduate school in international studies, he befriended a number of Muslim students from other countries. Impressed by their "refined courtesy," he suspected that their gracious demeanor was based in their religion. Recently divorced and ready for a new life, he began reading the Koran and it called out to his heart. Before long, he found himself formally converting at a mosque.
In 1998 Monastra also resumed serious yoga practice. To his mind, yoga is not an outside interest; it serves his faith completely. "You become a better person by having your body in good shape, your breathing and your mind all integrated together," Monastra observes. And he applies the mantra meditation techniques he learned in yoga after every daily prayer. In the Sufi tradition that Monastra follows, one sits for a while after praying, feeling oneself in the sacred presence and invoking the name of God. Monastra does this semi-yogically by substituting "Allah" for a Sanskrit mantra and doing yogic breathing. "I don't think of yoga as a religion," he says. "I think of it as a technique that helps anybody do their own religion better."

Wilson's fourth-inning solo shot, his second homer of Colorado's 13-8 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, gave him 100 RBIs for the season and made him the fastest player in club history to reach that mark. He did it in the Rockies' 107th game, one game faster than Andres Galarraga in 1997. Wilson also leads the National League in RBIs.
But almost as eye-catching as the number was the style. Wilson didn't move far from home plate, just a couple of walking steps, as he watched the record-setting RBI sail on its 427-foot arc over the center-field fence. The first homer, a two-run shot off Brewers starter Matt Kinney in the third, he punctuated by looking to his teammates in the Rockies dugout before gazing skyward at the flight.
However much he seemed to admire his work on the field, he spoke humbly in the dressing room afterward.
"It's definitely an honor when you think about some of the great names that have played here and had great careers on this team," said Wilson, now with a team-leading 27 home runs this season. "It's something to look at, and it's kind of unbelievable."
And so what if he has a great time doing it?
Wilson, whose season-high for RBIs is 121 with Florida in 2000, points out he is not directing any of his home run celebrations at his opponent, and he doesn't yell or point at the opposition. He has not been victim of many retaliation pitches this season. His first home run pitch was inside, so he had to "stay back," and on the second he had to reach for an outside breaking ball.
"It's like when the pitcher strikes you out and they get excited and pump their fist," Wilson said. "Hey, they've got the right to be excited. When you start playing this game without emotion ... Everybody doesn't play the game the same way.
"Who wrote the rule that says you're not allowed to have a personality on the field? As long as it's not malicious, as long as it's not directed at any one particular person, you're allowed to have a personality on this field."
Wilson, acquired by the Rockies in a trade with Florida during the offseason, has been a huge part of the Rockies' personality this season.
Since 2000, the Rockies' batting order has had Todd Helton and Larry Walker batting interchangeably in the third and fourth spots, depending on injuries and hot streaks. This year, manager Clint Hurdle decided to break up Helton and Walker, left-handed hitters, with the right-handed slugging Wilson. During Spring Training, Wilson struggled while adjusting his stroke and Hurdle briefly considered reuniting Helton and Walker. He's glad he didn't now.
Walker's 91 RBIs at the All-Star Break were the most in NL history at that point of the season, and fifth-most at the break all-time. The Rockies once featured a lineup known as the Blake Street Bombers, with Walker, Galarraga, Dante Bichette and Vinny Castilla, and have had 24 players reach 100 RBIs in a season. Now that Wilson has won the race to 100, the next club milestone is Galarraga's club-record 150 RBIs in 1996.
"It's just very impressive," Hurdle said. "He's reached that milestone quicker than anybody else that has worn the Rockie uniform, and there have been some darn good hitters that have come through."
Walker realizes that batting behind Wilson takes RBI chances from him, but he is enjoying the view of Wilson from the on-deck circle.
"That's fine," Walker said. "He drives in runs -- somebody's got to drive them in. Who cares who it is? He's done an awesome job of it."
Wilson is happy the RBIs matter, which is often the case during high-scoring games at Coors.
On Saturday night, the Rockies still trailed, 8-6, after his two homers. But his work helped the Rockies stay close until the bullpen entered and pitched 5 1/3 shutout innings. Wilson finished the night 3-for-5.
"The thing that anybody in the lineup hopes is that they drive in the meaningful runs," said Wilson. "They want to drive in the runs that tie it, put you ahead or help you come from behind.
"You take all of them, no matter when they come, but the ones that mean the most to you put something on the other team. They kind of take some momentum from them."

Return to SSBR Home
In 2005, some 4 percent of students ages 12–18 reported being victimized at school during the previous 6 months. About 3 percent reported theft, 1 percent reported violent victimization and less than half of a percent of students reported serious violent victimization. Overall, the percentage of students ages 12–18 who were victimized at school during the previous 6 months decreased between 1995 and 2005 from 10 to 4 percent, and the percentage of students reporting victimization for all categories decreased between 1995 and 2005 overall (figure1).
School violence can make students fearful and affect their readiness and ability to learn, and concerns about vulnerability to attacks detract from a positive school environment.1 In the School Crime Supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey, students ages 12–18 were asked how often they had been afraid of attack at school or on the way to and from school and away from school during the previous 6 months. Consistent with findings from 1999 and 2001, students in 2005 were more likely to report being afraid of an attack at school than away from school. In 2005, approximately 6 percent of students ages 12–18 reported that they were afraid of attack or harm at school, and 5 percent reported that they were afraid of attack or harm away from school (figure2).
Black and Hispanic students were more likely than White students to fear for their safety regardless of location in 2005. Nine percent of Black students and 10 percent of Hispanic students reported that they were afraid of being attacked at school (including on the way to and from school), compared with 4 percent of White students (figure 3).
Both bullying and being bullied at school are associated with key violence-related behaviors, including carrying weapons, fighting, and sustaining injuries from fighting.2 In 2005, about 28 percent of students reported having been bullied at school during the last 6 months (figure 4). Nineteen percent of students said that they had experienced bullying that consisted of being made fun of; 15 percent reported being the subject of rumors; and 9 percent said that they were pushed, shoved, tripped, or spit on. Of those students who had been bullied, 79 percent said that they were bullied inside the school, and 28 percent said that they were bullied outside on school grounds.

You Deserve Every AdvantageAdvantage bars and shakes are the perfect snack to help you eat right, follow your plan and get you closer to your goal. And with plenty of protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and only a few net carbs, you can enjoy these delicious snacks anytime of the day. Get the Atkins Advantage. Start today.
Choosing foods wisely is essential to a healthy, active lifestyle. Atkins is all about proactive nutrition - providing you the information and inspiration you need to take charge of your health and enjoy your active life to the fullest. The Atkins Nutritional Approach is made up of seven nutrition principles that are designed to help you make the right food choices, so you can reach your goals.
What Is The Atkins Diet?Atkins is the original leading low-carb weight loss plan that provides quick, effective, satisfying and balanced weight loss based on an extensive body of scientific research. The Atkins Diet is designed to "flip the body's metabolic switch" from burning carbs to burning fat. Graduated carb introduction limits blood sugar and insulin spikes, which cause hunger and cravings, and result in overeating and weight gain.
Atkins has the additional application of being the weight loss plan of choice for the millions of people who have a reduced ability to process carbohydrates - those who have varying levels of "carbohydrate intolerance."
The Atkins plan consists of four phases, with gradual increased carb intake for each phase. The plan allows an individual to find his or her perfect carbohydrate balance that is ideal for their personal weight loss or maintenance. Atkins dieters are motivated to change and maintain their eating patterns with delicious and healthy food options.
In addition to weight loss, what are some of the health benefits associated with Atkins?Independent third-party clinical research has found that Atkins reduces risk factors for heart-disease, insulin resistance and diabetes.
Additionally, the average American consumes 156 pounds of added sugar each year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Imagine it: 31 five-pound bags per person per year. By eating carbohydrates in moderation, the Atkins Diet helps individuals (even those without diabetes) maintain stable blood sugar levels, leading to fewer carb cravings and more energy, among other health benefits. Scientific research has consistently found that subjects at a high risk for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) that were following the low-carb approach had improvements in their cholesterol profiles, decreasing their risk of developing CAD.
There are also many digestive benefits that come with following Atkins. Fiber requirements can be easily met because the Atkins Diet replaces highly refined, low-fiber carbohydrates with salad greens, fresh vegetables, low sugar fruit, nuts, seeds and whole grains. The diet includes lots of vegetables to replace processed foods, which increases fiber intake. A high-fiber diet is the best way to lower risk factors associated with the colon. Additionally, numerous scientific studies have confirmed that those eating a high-fiber diet have lower cholesterol levels and fewer incidences of heart disease than those on a low-fiber diet.
Can vegetarians follow the Atkins Diet? Vegans?The Atkins Diet allows individuals to consume a wide variety of foods, all framed within a context of eating fewer carbohydrates and sugars. The diet can be followed as a vegetarian or vegan. Vegetarians can start in Ongoing Weight Loss at 30 grams of Net Carbs and introduce seeds and nuts before berries. Vegetarians will can get their protein from eggs, cheese and soy products. Vegans can get sufficient protein from seeds, nuts, soy products, soy and rice cheeses, seitan, legumes and high protein grains like quinoa. Vegans can start in Ongoing Weight Loss at 50 grams of Net Carbs so they can have nuts, seeds and legumes from the start.
It is common knowledge that Atkins limits carb intake, but does the diet allow for individuals to eat any carbs?The Atkins Diet is a low-carb, not a no carb plan. People frequently mistake the first phase, Induction, for the entire Atkins plan. During Induction, the plan allows dieters to eat 20 grams of net carbohydrates (total grams of carbs minus fiber and the only carbohydrates that impact one's blood sugar level) daily, with 12 - 15g net carbohydrates coming from a full array of colorful, nutrient-dense vegetables. After the Induction phase is complete, the carbohydrate count is gradually increased until each individual reaches his or her perfect carb balance and goal weight. Additionally, dieters can start during

Elkhart County Sheriff Brad Rogers got a warm reception Monday evening as he spoke to the Tea Party Group, "Elkhart County Patriots."
The Sheriff gave a speech about the 2nd Amendment.
He says gun rights are a Constitutional issue not a partisan issue.
Rogers says Americans would not accept legislation limiting freedom of religion or freedom of the press, and the same should be true for gun legislation.
Sheriff Brad Rogers says, "I say hands off. I am not going to be a part of any Federal Legislation and I continue to persist that I will not enforce any new anti-gun laws, clapping."
The Sheriff also talked about his opposition to any federal legislation calling for universal background checks.
He says quote, "They should keep their noses out of it."

POSE Running ClinicI'll be using everything I ever learned from you coaches (especially BMack & DK) to teach a POSE Running Clinic at CrossFit Lincoln tomorrow. I'm using this as a fundraiser to support my trip to the Austin CFE Training Camp. Tomorrow should a blast!
Also, I'll be tossing the ole "100m on 1:00 for 10:00" WOD at them at the end. They'll have to pace within 2-3s of each ;)

Best WishesJake...best of luck with the clinic man. I, too, have been soaking up all of BMack & DK's knowledge and drills to help my own clients w/ their running experience. The clients' responses have been awesome! Even more motivation for me to attend the CFE seminar in Scottsdale, AZ.

SS Bike + 10MI am trying to get ready for Ironman Galveston, so I did the Tri-OKC club ride this morning. In good triathlon fashion, we head out of the parking lot and lose each other as fast as possible. There is no such thing as training with triathletes. I am guilty of it as much as everyone else there.
30M - 1:41 (it's hard to only do 20M when two laps around the lake is 30M)
BTW- I was so sore this morning from 12.4. I felt fine after I finished the WOD and coaching last night that I was proud of myself thinking I dodged the bullet. I so much did not.
on Saturday, March 17, 2012 at 10:37 am
WODI wanted to get some extra strength work so I maxed on Clean&Jerk and hit 195. This is 5 lbs lighter than my 1RM but my balance and form was good. I didn't want to push my max so I stopped there. I then did 5 rounds of 2 clean and jerk at 165 (85% of todays max). Short break followed by:
S&C: 6 rounds but I used an 80# kettle bell for my swings.
Shoulders felt it but still glad I got the C&J's done.

RE: POSE Running ClinicTOTAL SUCCESS!!!
I discovered one of our athletes in particular is a MONSTER when it comes to running! And watching him in slow-motion was super beneficial. He picked up pretty quickly, and we saw him get more efficient after the two hours that we worked together. We'll be getting him on our Endurance Team for sure ;)
The clinic was great for those in attendance. Everyone said they're looking forward to practicing the drills I taught them and warming up w/ the drills before running WODs. It's gonna be fun to watch these athletes start "getting it" and start destroying the competition at distance runs.
on Saturday, March 17, 2012 at 05:00 pm
re: Ironman trainingI support starting right away, but you may want to start with 1 wod/sport/week, so you don't double your training volume overnight. Remember that if you're too tired to keep form, your training isn't worth the effort. Work up to full Rx.
Read the FAQ section to make sure you're following the RX properly. Then check the message board. There have been topics about people using CFE for IM training with some great info.
Good Luck!

Japanese reporter killed in Syria's Aleppo, 3 missing: NGO
A female Japanese journalist was killed yesterday while covering clashes in Syria's Aleppo, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, adding that three other reporters were missing.
The Japanese reporter was killed at Suleiman al-Halabi, a district in the east of Syria's second city where troops and rebels were locked in clashes.
The NGO added that one of two missing Arab reporters is a Lebanese woman and the other is a man working for a US media outlet. The third missing reporter is Turkish.
A video posted by militants on YouTube showed a female body lying in a room. It was presented as the corpse of the Japanese journalist, and said she was killed by militia allied to President Bashar al-Assad's troops.
A prominent injury could be seen on her right arm. Next to her, an Asian-looking man appeared to be asking for medical assistance.
AFP was unable to independently confirm the authenticity of the video, or the information presented in it.

Eight advertisers run banners on Yahoo home pages around the world.
Yahoo has introduced display advertising on its mobile-specific Web sites in 19 countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia. The move, which follows a year of aggressive expansion in the wireless space, marks Yahoo's first formal rollout of graphical ads on its sites around the world.
Separately, the company released a new version of its downloadable mobile client, Yahoo! Go 2.0. Dubbed "Gamma," the platform upgrade includes integration with Pepsi's FreeRide sweepstakes campaign.
"Overall our goal is to be the #1 mobile Internet player globally, and the #1 in mobile monetization globally," said Elizabeth Harz, VP of category strategy for Yahoo. "Both of these are very important steps in that goal."
The ads on Yahoo's mobile sites are part of a new publishing platform built to better deliver both content and marketing messages to the company's mobile users. According to Yahoo, the system can fluidly target ad sizes and creative according to the screen size and other capabilities of a given device.
Banners appear near the top of the home pages for the nations where the platform is being offered, which include the U.S., U.K., France, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, India, Thailand and Australia, among others. The ads include click-through and click-to-call features.
Eight global advertisers have run ads using the new system, including Infiniti, Intel, Nissan, Procter & Gamble Asia Pacific and Singapore Airlines.
Yahoo's Harz said the company has been in talks with these and other global accounts well in advance of releasing the platform, and that their mobile media buys can be placed through the same Yahoo sales channels their online display advertising. "It's a very easy way to add a global mobile campaign to their desktop initiatives," she said.
She added the decision to sell ads only on the home page reflected a desire to "get to market as quickly as possible." She said ad placements on other Yahoo mobile pages will be offered in the near future.
One of the launch advertisers, Hilton's Embassy Suites, is a longtime Yahoo advertiser. According to John Lee, VP of brand marketing and communications, the company is bullish on the potential of wireless advertising in the travel and hospitality category; but he said previous mobile advertising had generated limited bookings. To drive more leads, Embassy is offering extra "Hilton Honor Points" loyalty incentives and has set up a dedicated 800 number to better attribute the portion of its bookings that from the Yahoo mobile flight.
"With our category in particular... this is a very relevant, a very timely medium," he said. "We can provide a service to business travelers if they get in a jam. There are a myriad of scenarios where this kind of technology goes beyond pure advertising."
According to Telephia, Yahoo's mobile services reach six percent of the U.S. mobile audience. Mobile measurement firm M:Metrics meanwhile estimates Yahoo's U.S. reach for all mobile services is 14.5 million U.S. wireless subscribers, outpacing nearest competitors Google, MSN and AOL. Yahoo does not share self-reported reach statistics for its global mobile audience.
Yahoo introduced a beta test of mobile search ads in October, one month after Google began trialing mobile ads in the U.S. and Europe. It introduced the Go client for mobile devices in January 2006.

Pervert who bombarded Jodie Marsh with obscene pictures is found guilty of stalking
5:02pm Friday 28th March 2014 in News By Carri-Ann Taylor, Reporter
A PERVERT who bombarded glamour model Jodie Marsh with bizarre letters and naked pictures of himself, has been found guilty of stalking.
Joseph Mafwenke, 38, left the celebrity fearing she could be raped or murdered after sending a "vast" number of letters to her Brentwood home.
During a two day trial, Basildon Crown Court heard Mafwenke's bizarre campaign included sending Miss Marsh, 35, doctored pictures of the couple having sex and of them strolling hand in hand She eventually moved from the house in Weald Road, Brentwood to avoid the letters.
Mafwenke was eventually arrested when Miss Marsh spotted him outside her old house.
The court heard Mafwenke, of Crawley, West Sussex, started his persuit of Miss Marsh after he read an article in lads' mag, Zoo.
Miss Marsh broke down in tears as the court was shown letters sent to her house.
She said: "Straight away, I knew it was not normal fan mail, the letters would say things like 'you will be my wife', 'we will be together', 'you will have four children', 'we are meant to be together'.
"The way it was said, it was like it was a given that it would happen."
The letters, which included pictures of a naked Mafwenke on top of her, left her "really scared".
Miss Marsh told the court, she had initially asked police not to take any action in case it tipped Mafwenke over the edge.
She added: "I thought it might be rape, murder, kidnap.
"In my line of work, you don't think anything is too far-fetched."
One letter said: "I love you and the way you are alone..
"I plan to have four babies with you in married life. Thank you for I make it happen.
"Our time is now to have our childrens".
In his defence Mafwenke told the court he continued to send the letters because Miss Marsh did not reply to tell him to stop.
He claimed he visited her home to check she had received them.
Miss Marsh said she did not reply to the letters which were sometimes sent recorded delivery, because she did not think it was right.
A jury took just under an hour to find Mafwenke guilty of one count of stalking.
His sentencing was adjourned for five weeks while the probation service prepare reports.
He was remanded in custody.

'Glamour model - Can't see it myself!' - great contribution. You'll go far in life...
'Not to be seen condoning this man's behaviour' - but you'll still have a pop at her.
I don't particularly like the woman but it's not her fault, due to her 'job', that she has to put up with intimidating/scary behaviour from weirdos.
If you were in her position you'd just sit back and say, 'oh well, I deserve it' - get a grip or don't make ridiculous comments.

I'm sure Jodie Marsh is a little more worldly wise, than this, what with her raucous parties and life styles, still it's good for her reputation, to be seen not condoning this man's behaviour.
My money is on Chucky of Pitsea.
Nice try but pathetic attempt to try and emanate me dear. You simply don't possess my skills. And your rampant jealousy of me seriously needs medical attention.
However, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But in your case however, I'd prefer not to be flattered.
I'm sure you have another botox appointment very soon or another body to sell to the local undertakers.
And if it's not Chicky/Chucky, it's one of her moronic pals in the Basildon Labour group.
My username doesn't have any other characters in it and I'm still here so the little plan failed eh?

Which Is Worse? Your Little Health Dilemmas, Solved
Skip the sunnies. Surprising, right? A shoddy pair of cheap lenses can end up causing more damage than squinting through the rays does. Most poorly made sun specs have little ultraviolet protection—just darkened shades, which can trick your pupils into dilating and letting in more damaging rays. "Ideally, you want a pair that touts 400 nanometers—meaning 100 percent—of UV protection, which keeps harmful rays from hitting the lens and retina," says Lauren Yeager, M.D., an ophthalmologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center in New York City. So if those cute cat's-eye sunnies don't have a sticker clearly touting that 400 number, pick up a cheap straw or cotton wide-brimmed hat.

Bottle poured into a Stone taster, a dark ruddy brown pour, a small off-white head sank to a ringlet, and left a few streaks of lacing behind. In the nose, crushed cherries, oak, red wine, hints of funk and mild acetic acid. On the palate, tartness was pretty soft and mild, bready malts, cherry pie sweetness, oak, and a mild but ever-present funkiness, and some vinegar to get the salival glands flowing. Medium body, a bit chewy, quite a good drinker overall.

Thickest wax job I've ever come across. A slow gusher too. 750ml bottle poured into a Cantillon tulip. Shared with schen9303.
Pours a 2 finger frothy light pinkish brown head with moderate retention. Beer is slightly cloudy deep red. Lacing is stringy and thick with good stick. Oily, thick legs. Quite the looker.
Nose is tart and ascetic. Vinegar, cherry and a slight note of plastic. Other crushed red fruit flavors swim in and out. Mellow and funky oak in the back. Aromatic and tart but I could do without the vinegar notes.
Opens tart and slightly sweet cherry. Vinegar and red fruit tartness at the middle. Puckering in the mouth. Oak and more crushed red fruit sour notes at the end. Vinous. Fruity finish with a tart cherry aftertaste. Solid.
Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Oily and slick in the mouth and puckering going down. Messy finish with a lingering, sticky aftertaste. I usually prefer a lighter body on wild ales but this fits the style and flavor profile nicely.
Much, much better than Barrel Select Cherry (which is a DIFFERENT beer). I'm not a big fan of darker, vinegary sours for the most part but this is pretty enjoyable. Flavor is rich and full and the body is a great complement. One of the better beers in the Barrel Select series.

a - Pours a deep reddish brown color with one inch of off white head and moderate carbonation evident.

t - Tastes of vinegar, sour cherries, funk, tart dark fruits, hay, earthy notes. Much tarter than the nose and more vinegar vs. fruits, and a little more funk. Very nice but I preferred the nose to the taste.
m - Medium body and moderate carbonation, with some acedic bite to it.
o - Overall a really nice sour from CL; didn't like it as much as Barrel Select Gold, but a good sour cherry wild none the less. Awesome nose, would like to have it again.

Longview High School students learned firsthand what it's like to drive drunk…without actually drinking anything, or driving an actual car.
The Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service made a stop at the school during their "Watch UR BAC" campaign, teaching the dangers of alcohol misuse.
We were there as the students tried the simulator.
Alex Edwards and Maria Martinez can't legally drink alcohol, but they can "drive drunk," or pretty close to it. The Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service is equipped with a pedal car and a driving simulator, and the most important part: fatal vision goggles. The goggles skew one's vision, making doing anything more difficult.
"Like tunnel vision. Everything was curved and discolored," Alex observed.
"I tried to keep normal vision. It's a little easy, but it's hard at the same time, trying to protect your sister or your mom," Maria said.
The cones on the pedal car course represent people, further driving the point home.
"I shouldn't drink and drive because I'm going to hit my sister with the car," Maria revealed.
"I just didn't want to hit anybody. I wanted to go home," Alex said.
Next they headed toward town in the simulator, wearing the goggles. It didn't take long for police to spot a swerving vehicle, and the chase was on. If you run long enough SWAT gets involved. The goggles make the whole thing look hazy.
"Yes, and so did the hood," Alex admitted.
"Now you guys both had hood issues," I pointed out.
"Yes. Yes, we did, but we still managed. I got busted, he evaded. That's not fair. You ain't evading in real life, okay?" Maria said to Alex.
"Drinking and driving is bad, kids. Don't do it. You'll hit your sister or your mom," Maria said.
The program definitely holds the students' attention, and teaches a valuable lesson.
The Watch UR BAC program will continue to tour Texas schools and community groups. In fact, tonight from 7-8pm they will be set up at Maude Cobb Convention Center, where anyone can give it a try for free.

The first part of that headline is a fact. The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed free agent catcher Rod Barajas, and they'll give him $4 million in 2012. A $3.5 million club option for 2013 also exists. The second part of that headline is a guess. Rod Barajas isn't guaranteed to be the Pirates' starting catcher next season. But he's probably going to be the Pirates' starting catcher next season, at least for the first while until or unless somebody younger emerges.
The Pirates were left with a void behind the plate once Ryan Doumit and Chris Snyder became free agents. They had Michael McKenry and Jason Jaramillo in-house, along with Matt Pagnozzi and Eric Fryer on the 40-man roster, but none of those guys are presently capable starting candidates. So they turned their attention to the 36-year-old Barajas, who they got locked up on a one-year contract.
Here's what Barajas will bring:
- Some power
That's it, really. Barajas will bring some power, and the ability to play catcher a lot. His arm isn't great, his pitch blocking isn't great, he doesn't hit for a good average, and he doesn't walk, but he can hit the occasional ball off the wall or over it. He has a career batting line of .238/.284/.414, and that tells you exactly what you need to know about Rod Barajas.
One issue is that Barajas will be moving to Pittsburgh's home ballpark, which reduces home runs hit by right-handed hitters. That's a concern. But Barajas will be coming from Los Angeles, and Dodger Stadium isn't particularly friendly to righties, either. It's doubtful that the park is going to matter that much, and - let's be perfectly honest, here - it's doubtful that Barajas is going to matter that much. He's an aging catcher who signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Where do the Dodgers go from here? They have A.J. Ellis and Tim Federowicz as backstops on the roster. Each is moderately interesting, but neither is considered much of a starter right now, so my answer is, I don't know. I don't know how much the Dodgers can spend, and I don't know if the Dodgers will spend it at catcher. But they could. Baseball Nation: come for the .gifs, stay for the insight!
