Penalties for the Joe Paterno scandal
Well, for one who does not follow sports very much, sometimes things happen that are like watching a train wreck...for some reason, ya' just can't look away.
Metta World Peace's elbowing of an opposing player in basketball, and then acting like nothing happened...that was one thing...hence, my signature.
This whole thing with the Penn State Scandal over Joe Paterno and his compatriots....wow....interesting.
So, with this report that was handed down, and having been accepted as complete and true, Penn State's football program now suffers penalties that are almost nuclear in their fallout.
-111+ wins to be vacated from 1998 to 2011.
-$60M fine to be paid over 5 years which is to be earmarked for sex-abuse prevention and victim programs.
- Four year ban on post-season play. IOW, no championship chances.
- A cut in the number of scholarships that can be handed out. Only 15 allowed, as opposed to the standard 25 that most other schools enjoy.
-Penn State's cut of the conference's estimated shared bowl revenue – about $13 million over four years – will be donated to "established charitable organizations in Big Ten communities dedicated to the protection of children." (Directly quoted from recordonline.com)
Students at Penn State (at least those who are slavish to sports programs) reacted with shock at the bombshell of sanctions dropped on their school's athletic program. It's basically a short term death penalty for the football program. Short-term because it's only four years, but it will likely take considerable time for the program to recover from that, so the effects will likely be long-lasting.
Folks who are more detached from the following of such cults view the sanctions as anywhere from "perfectly levied" to "not stringent enough", thinking of the real victims of the scandal (not the students that were affected by the sanctions, but the children that suffered during this prolonged period of deviant enabling.)
The only real upsides for athletic students at Penn State are that they are free to transfer to other universities and colleges if they wish to continue their sports activities. Other students who wish to continue their educational endeavors (the ummm...purpose...of an institution of higher learning) are free to remain and continue, sans sports activity.
I can understand both sides of the coin on this:
On the one hand, the students feel as if THEY are the ones being punished for the illicit and criminal activities of several individuals in the campus faculty. Those who played their hearts out to secure victories for their team over the course of 14 years (obviously quite a list of alumni over that time, including current students), now feel as if everything has just been yanked out from under them, arbitrarily. One student said something to the effect of: "So those victories weren't real, huh? This steel plate I got in my head as a result of playing in one of those won games says otherwise." I'm sure that fans feel just as passionately as the students who ACTUALLY play(ed) the games.
On the other hand, I can empathize with those who feel that the penalties incurred on Penn State are necessary beyond doubt...sending (hopefully) a clear message to sex offenders, and to other campuses that might engage in such cover up activities to preserve their name and "honor".
I'm kinda ambivalent myself. I've seen plenty of music and arts programs go by the wayside to jocktivities, because, supposedly, THAT's where da' money at. So seeing this, well...all I can say is "good luck to your sports future. Maybe you can try investing in aspiring musicians so we can start getting some good stuff on the radio again...now HEY, THERE's a noble cause."

text: BOISE, Idaho (AP) - New Department of Labor statistics show Idaho has the nation's highest percentage of workers earning the minimum wage or less. The agency reported Thursday that the share of Gem State employees making $7.25 per hour jumped to 7.7 percent last year. That means an estimated 31,000 of the state's 404,000 hourly workers were paid at the minimum rate - up from 12,000 in 2011. Nationally, 4.7 percent of hourly workers made the minimum wage last year, down from 5.2 percent the year before. The Labor Department reports that three of every four jobs created in Idaho came from the service sector, where most of those lower-paying jobs are held. Idaho was also among 16 states and the District of Columbia that posted increases in workers earning the minimum or less.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

A summer writing workshop is the dreamy creative home for every aspiring writer. Lord knows I've been to many of them. I'll go to many more. But something has changed in my writing life. Now I teach them too. For the first time this year, I'll be teaching at Meredith College's summer writing workshops, June 23 – 27, 9-3, a kind of day camp for women writers. I've just visited the campus for the first time, and it's so lovely it's like living in a Mid-summer Night's Dream of a women's college, with rolling lawns, riotous gardens, and big trees. The day I went was the day before graduation and the young seniors were floating around campus dressed in dreamy white dresses – a Meredith tradition. You don't have to wear a white dress to come to my workshop, though I remember one summer writing workshop with a slim dashing poet teacher who wore a black eye-patch like a pirate. By the end of the workshop, all the women attending were wearing white flowy dresses like pirate's wenches.
Other writers teaching at Meredith this summer: Carol Henderson, Zelda Lockhart, Ruth Moose
Creative Nonfiction with Marjorie Hudson
Personal essays wrap a writer's life and voice around her enduring fascinations. In this workshop, we'll dip into the delicious work of masters of creative nonfiction, we'll write from prompts designed to reveal the deep music of women's lives, we'll explore CNF techniques such as narration, scene, and dialogue, and we'll create a warm community of support. We'll explore personal strategies for a successful writing life as well as how to generate useful critique–and how to use it once you've got it. Bring your burning questions and the first 5 pages of a personal essay or memoir for in-class comments and coaching.

Greensburg —
For Letts Volunteer Fire Department Chief Matt Morrow, tearing down the Letts Fire Department's (LVFD) current building will be like saying goodbye to an old friend.
"This building's like an old friend who's been sleeping on your couch for months on end," Morrow laughed. "It's a friend who's near and dear in some ways, but who's been on your couch way too long, and it's time to say goodbye."
For Morrow and the LVFD — indeed, for all of Letts — saying goodbye will start sometime this spring when construction on a new departmental facility is slated to begin. It'll be a long goodbye, though, as demolition on the LFD's current multi-sectioned structure won't commence until work on the department's new home is complete.
"We're putting the new fire station north of our current building," Morrow explained. "It'll still be on our property. That was the most efficient way we could do it. The logistics to trying to store all our equipment would've been a nightmare and would've presented a real hazard to the community; in the event of an emergency, you want all your equipment in one place."
Of course, with the destruction of a building whose oldest section dates to 1895, a handful in the community don't want it torn down.
Morrow has done his homework, though. "The Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Historic Preservation has evaluated this building and its history and stated that it has no real historical significance."
Morrow pointed out, too, that the current LVFD building costs a small fortune to heat.
"This building has no insulation on the second floor," he said. "We keep the thermostat on 50 degrees, but it still runs a lot. If the temperature drops into the teens, it never shuts off."
Additionally, the building has no air conditioning, making it a miserable place during heat-waves like the one Decatur County endured last summer.
Morrow has given serious consideration to preserving and repairing the current building, too.
"We had a contractor in here (in the 1895 building) before we started thinking about a new building," he said, "and he quoted $30,000 to repair 10 feet of a single wall. He had no idea what the rest would cost. The entire building is 44 feet long, so the math is pretty easy; it just doesn't make sense from a dollars-and-cents perspective to invest in repairing this building."
To illustrate his point, Morrow demonstrated the wall in question to the Daily News, as well as sections of compromised ceiling. Significant termite damage, bowing, cracking and rot were evident.
Additionally, according to Morrow, the current building's septic system is so old and antiquated, that the LVFD couldn't even obtain the required permits to complete any remolding.
As such, the new building will also include a completely new, completely modernized septic system. The LVFD has already purchased an adjoining lot into which it will install that new system.
"We have a responsibility to the future of this township," Morrow said. "We have to think about what this building would be like in 25 or 50 years: What kind of facility would we be leaving to our kids and grandkids?"
Additionally, Letts currently has no Community Building. As a result, many town gatherings are staged in the current fire station.
"We hold a polling place here during every election," Morrow said. "But we hold auctions, too, and birthday parties, baby showers and wake dinners. And of course, we stage our fund-raisers here."
The currently facility also lacks a dedicated office and radio area, as well as training space.
The new building, Morrow explained, will be completely modernized, with dedicated office and radio space and a training area.
"We're also including an area just for community events," the fire chief added. "For a nominal fee, any community group will be able to rent the space to hold an event. It'll be the closest thing Letts has ever had to a Community Center."
Of the current fire station, only an addition from 2001 will be left standing. Morrow wishes he could also keep a 1993 addition, but the grant stipulates that the new facility can house only 10 bay doors; the 2001 addition has four, while the new facility will have six; thus, the 1993 addition and its three bay doors will be razed.
The LVFD will pay for the new station with a $400,000 grant from the Indiana State Department of Rural Affairs (ISDRA) and a $25,000 grant from the Decatur County Community Foundation.
The LFD is in the process of procuring a $300,000 loan from Napoleon State Bank to pay the remainder of the cost.
"I want to thank Napoleon," Morrow said. "They've been with us from the beginning. They wrote a letter for us to the ISDRA, which was instrumental procuring the $400,000 grant. We couldn't have done it without them."
Morrow added that he has more people to thank than he can count.
"This was not a small endeavor," he said. "The entire department has helped out. We had to conduct an income survey of the entire community, for instance, going door to door. And we had to obtain letters of support from various entities around Decatur County (14 were obtained in all). Since Letts is an unincorporated Township and since the state grant money is distributed through the county auditor's office, we had to gain approval from the County Commissioners, too. So we want to thank them, too."
When the new fire station opens sometime later this year, Morrow wants to hold an Open House event and a farewell event the new and old buildings concurrently.
"It'll be sad to see this old building torn down," he said. "But I think the community is going to get very excited over the new building very quickly."

For 37 years I have maintained a close relationship with Whitman's tennis players, and it pleases my soul to say that I have rarely seen bad or even poor sportsmanship. Thus the following remarks are general, totally lacking of any personal reference.
To me, the tennis court is not simply a place for an athletic event. It is a stage on which a large part of what is to be the theme of one's life is acted out. It is almost certain that what you are on the tennis court is what you will be as a friend, as a husband or wife, and in your professional life.
It is on the tennis court that one creates or exhibits a response to danger and defeat, to tiredness, to surprise or bad luck, and also to bad behavior as one confronts it in a cantankerous opponent. All of these experiences have their precise parallels in ordinary life. One is similarly tested as to his or her capacity to care for the welfare of the team instead of being absorbed in one's private progress. The care and self-discipline that one employs in preparation for the tennis match is likely to be the same that will be used in getting ready to face life's larger roles.
To be specific, it is my hope that anyone whom you play against would finish the match having enjoyed playing with you (regardless of the outcome), because of the way you treated him or her. There are some people whom you will not like to play against, but that feeling never relates to the score but to the manner in which the opponent is or is not sensitive to your feelings. The relational component of the match can often get a good start at the time you are introduced to your opponent, when you could take a few moments to learn about him or her (hometown, year in college, major, perhaps a little about the family). It also helps to build a relationship to be able to compliment the opponent on an exceptionally good shot with a racket clap or a quiet "Good shot." All human encounters are opportunites for relationship. One is never good with the big ones unless he or she is good with the little ones.
Obviously, there is an assumption here: that you create and are created by and for relationships. Some will disagree, but I think it is true. Your life will largely be defined by the nature and quality of the relationships you are part of and to which you contribute.
When you are on the court it is always your character that is being created and tested. If the opponent is nasty, it is wise not to get angry in return. Rather, feel sorry for that person for that person is bound to have an unhappy time with the other relationships which will constitute his or her life. If you let yourself get angry, you hand the opponent a kind of psychological victory. The victory you can win over yourself in this respect is far more important than any victory represented in the score.
I do indeed look forward to your season this year with almost unmanagable expectations which relate to considerably more than the score. But I am also capable of elation, of singing and dancing (at least internally) when the score itself comes out in your favor.

I like to train. It's been in my blood since I was a kid playing pop warner football (American) and I been at it ever since. I wake up everyday wanting to get the best out of myself Physically, Mentally and even Spiritually. Staying on the Physcial note though, I find the toughest routine to get up for when I hit the gym is core exercises. The shit kills me man, everytime! They have this new workout at this gym I go to, where u set your feet up to the point where you're dangling upside down and u have to pull yourself up. I figured new routine, I'll try it, why not. Did as many as I could until I burnt out... Bad idea! On my last count I couldn't lift back up and was left swaying back and forward like a fucking punching bag (Imagine that) until i could garner enough strength to pull up lol.
That experience led to the idea to ask people here who workout (or not), share what the toughest routine you've done or herd of doing while training?

BK PR - Dr.Jeffrey Belnap - January 2, 2013
Brooklyn, N.Y. – Following an intensive nationwide search, an LIU search committee has selected international education expert Dr. Jeffrey Belnap as dean of LIU Global and university dean of International Education.
Dr. Belnap, who officially begins his post June 15, will in the interim serve as consultant for the college, working to articulate a dynamic vision for LIU Global and on internationalization efforts at both LIU Brooklyn and LIU Post.
"LIU Global's unique mission and its global footprint make it one of the most exceptional educational organizations in the world," said Dr. Belnap. "While it boasts a long tradition of excellence, LIU Global's educational enterprise and ethos meet absolutely contemporary needs. I hope to support the strong momentum already underway toward increasing international opportunities for students and faculty."
Currently, Dr. Belnap is chief academic officer at Zayed University, a Middle States-accredited university in the United Arab Emirates with campuses in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. During his 11 years there, he has worked with faculty from over 40 countries to build a new, rapidly expanding national institution aligned with both national needs and international best practices. He is deeply involved in redesigning the core curriculum, facilitating first-time accreditation processes, managing the rapid expansion of higher education and integrating mobile technology into the university's curriculum.
Before joining Zayed University, Dr. Belnap was the dean of arts and sciences at Brigham Young University-Hawaii Campus, an internationally oriented liberal arts university serving the Asia-Pacific region. He has extensive experience in foreign studies programs, both at Zayed and Brigham Young universities.
Dr. Belnap holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and Critical Theory from the University of California-Irvine, where he wrote one of the early dissertations on post-colonial cultural theory, bringing together case studies from Latin America, Africa and South Asia. He earned a master's degree in Comparative Literature and a bachelor's in International Relations from Brigham Young University. His teaching and research interests have concentrated on the relationship among the visual, literary and performing arts in the construction of cultural identity in the post-imperial nation state.
"With energy, motivation and a dedication to preparing students for an increasingly interdependent and connected world, Dr. Belnap's personal commitment aligns with LIU Global's curricular model and our internationalization efforts," said LIU Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Jeffrey Kane. "We look to his enthusiasm, strategic focus and extensive professional background to lead the college and build upon its unique character."
LIU Brooklyn is distinguished by...
dynamic curricula reflecting the great urban community it serves. Distinctive programs encompass the arts and media, the natural sciences, business, social policy, urban education, the health professions and pharmacy, and include the Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, the Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics, the D.P.T. in Physical Therapy and the Pharm.D. in Pharmacy. A vibrant urban oasis in downtown Brooklyn, this diverse and thriving campus offers academic excellence, personalized attention, small class size and flexible course schedules. In 2006, a $45-million Wellness, Recreation and Athletic Center was opened to serve the Campus and the surrounding community. In 2007, the Cyber Café was launched, providing a high-tech hot spot for students and faculty members to meet and eat.

When six quarterbacks were selected in the first 36 picks of the 2011 NFL draft, there were plenty of question marks in terms of what to expect from the crop of signalcallers in their rookie season.
Each rookie had to wait three months to see what his club did in free agency, and by the end of July — without minicamps or a chance to meet with head coaches and offensive coordinators, let alone an opportunity to start learning the playbook — it was hard to have high expectations.
Cam Newton first had to beat out Jimmy Clausen (which didn't take long) before learning a new offense. Jake Locker would sit behind Matt Hasselbeck, and Christian Ponder was second fiddle to Donovan McNabb. Blaine Gabbert began his season behind David Garrard and Luke McCown, and Andy Dalton had to beat out Bruce Gradkowski, once it was determined Carson Palmer was not coming back to Cincinnati.
Through 12 weeks, Colin Kaepernick is the only one of the highly drafted QBs not to play. Newton and Dalton have started since Day One, Gabbert and Ponder took over for the veterans who began ahead of them, and Hasselbeck's arm injury allowed Locker to see time.
This group is on pace for a record number of starts in a season by rookie quarterbacks since the merger, ignoring the 1987 season when replacement players filled in during the strike.
To put things in perspective, the famous QB class of 1983, when six passers were taken in the first round — including Pro Football Hall of Famers John Elway, Jim Kelly and Dan Marino — started only 24 games as rookies. The heralded 1999 QB class, which included five passers taken in the first 12 picks, led by Donovan McNabb and Tim Couch, started a total of 47 games.
Barring injury, Newton, Dalton, Gabbert and Ponder will start the remaining games for their respective teams this season. If they do, that would give them 60 combined starts. And that doesn't count any starts that Locker might get.
Dalton and Newton are set to start all 16 games, which would make this the second time that a pair of rookies have started 16 games. Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco did the trick in 2008.
This isn't a one-year deal for this group. Newton, Dalton, Gabbert and Ponder should be their teams' starters in 2012. Kaepernick and Ryan Mallett one day could be starters, too.
Because of the lockout, this group had to face a challenge that no previous QB class had to encounter, and their teams have to be pleased with the early returns.
To read the rest of this feature on the 2011 rookie quarterbacks, including individual assessments of each passer with analysis from league insiders, purchase a copy of the current issue of Pro Football Weekly online at PFWstore.com. In this issue, you'll also have access to a feature by Mickey Spagnola on DeMarco Murray, which will tell you what convinced the Cowboys to draft Murray; our comprehensive fantasy football coverage; and our draft-related "Audibles" and "The Way We Hear It."

A new state law eases the way for culinary entrepreneurs to legally create and operate food-related businesses in their kitchens, producing homemade edibles for sale to businesses and to the public.
Two local workshops will be offered this Saturday to provide information about the law and how it benefits citizens interested in starting their own cottage industries to produce baked goods, preserves, dried herbs and fruits, teas and roasted coffee, granola and popcorn, honey, empanadas and more.
The first workshop of the day will be held 10-11:30 a.m. at Metabolic Studio IOU Garden, at Main and Willow streets in Lone Pine. The Bishop workshop will be from 2:30-4 p.m. at Jill Kinmont Booth School, 166 Grandview St. Metabolic StudioтАЩs Millie Macen Moore will be on hand to translate the talks into Spanish.
Assembly Bill 1616: California Homemade Food Act, or Cottage Food Law as it is also known, was written to help food purveyors with a simpler, more streamlined regulatory structure. тАЬGrandmas, abuelitas, nanas and memaws especially love the new California Cottage Food Law. Giant food manufacturing corporations do not,тАЭ states news blog www.californiality.com.
Once the law goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2013, citizens must understand it in order to use it. Although Inyo County Health Department and Eastern Sierra Certified Farmers Market have been following its progress, many people in the community may not тАЬunderstand the changes in the law,тАЭ said workshop coordinator Jane McDonald. тАЬIt is a very exciting opportunity for peopleтАЭ who may want to kick start their own businesses but who donтАЩt have capital to invest in certified kitchens, who have been hampered by zoning compliance and other regulations.
Enter workshop facilitator and Los Angeles-based baker-cum-activist Mark Stambler, who has a personal stake in the new law. In 2011, when Los Angeles County Health Department learned he was selling his bread to neighboring businesses, it doused the flames of StamblerтАЩs backyard wood-fired oven. So, he wrote an assembly bill. But more about that later.
A 30-year veteran boulanger, Stambler said he hand-grinds his flour from wheat and bakes breads in the wood-fired oven he built in his backyard, producing crusty loaves from time-honed recipes. The vested cottage entrepreneur will facilitate the Saturday, Nov. 10 workshops. Stambler plans to cover the current status of the Cottage Food Law, its impact on home-based industry, permits and zoning, dealing with the health department, food preparation and storage тАУ basically what people must do (and not do) тАЬto take advantage of this law,тАЭ he explained.
Now тАЬthousands of home-based food producersтАЭ will be able to тАЬuse their talents, their love of cooking and baking and their kitchen to earn extra income for their family.тАЭ
After the workshops, тАЬin Lone Pine, IтАЩll be baking bread on Sunday morning (Nov. 11). They have a wood-fired community oven.тАЭ Anyone may join Stambler for dough mixing at 10:30 a.m. at 117 Washington St. The oven will be lit around noon and bread will be baked тАЬin the late afternoon at the IOU Garden,тАЭ said McDonald.
When the Homemade Food Act becomes law, it will legalize the production of non-potentially hazardous food items and help entrepreneurs get county certification and permits needed to sell from their homes to the public, at farmerтАЩs markets, festivals and events and to restaurants and stores.
The law тАЬhas the potential to make substantial, positive change in the stateтАЩs food environment, broadening the focus to include a much wider array of community-sourced food,тАЭ explained Stambler, increasing тАЬself-sufficiency and decreasing our relianceтАЭ on outside food sources, explained McDonald.
The law also states, тАЬSmall businesses have played an important role in helping slow economies recover and prosper as an engine of job creation. During the 1990s, small businesses created the majority of new jobs and now account for 65 percent of United States employment.тАЭ
тАЬWe see this (law) as a step forward not the end goal,тАЭ explained Stambler. тАЬPeople who make foods at home are usually interested in healthy foods with healthy ingredientsтАЭ so thereтАЩs a great sense of accountability for quality product, he added. тАЬIтАЩm going to put it in huge letters on my label тАж тАШProudly Made at Home.тАЩ I think homemade products will be flying off the shelves.тАЭ
Stambler said he became тАЬone of the catalystsтАЭ for the billтАЩs creation when he asked Sustainable Economies Law Center, in Oakland, for help. The Law Center had never written a bill either but the тАЬgroup of progressive lawyers,тАЭ took up the challenge. Writing a bill is тАЬan eye-opening experience,тАЭ said Stambler. A few days later, Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Silver Lake) called Stambler, saying тАЬтАШI heard you had problems with the health department. YouтАЩre a constituent of mine. How can I help?тАЩтАЭ recalled Stambler. From the summer of 2011 on, he, Gatto and SELC wrote a bill designed simplify and streamline home-based food industry regulations. Gatto introduced it to the legislature and Governor Jerry Brown signed the Homemade Food Act into law on Sept. 21 тАУ the culmination of a 14-month journey.

Private Mars One Mission Contracts Lockheed For Exploratory Mission
Soulskill posted about 9 months ago | from the faster-than-taking-the-bus dept.35
coondoggie writes "Private Mars mission planners said today that Lockheed Martin is on board to build the spacecraft that would land a technology demonstration robot on the Red Planet by 2018. The Mars One group ultimately wants to establish a human outpost on Mars. The lander robot would use technology Lockheed previously built for NASA's Phoenix lander, which touched down on Mars in 2008. The Mars One lander will evaluate the use of the Phoenix design for the Mars One mission and identify any modifications that are necessary to meet future requirements. In addition, the mission would go a long way toward determining the cost and schedule of future missions."

"What's it like to have lost your father?" the social worker at Mount Sinai Medical Center asked me at our second visit to the hospital's Wien Center for Alzheimer's Disease & Memory Disorders.
"What are you talking about?" I thought to myself. "I haven't lost my father. He's just outside, in the hallway, waiting for me."
She went on to tell me what would happen over the next few years — how he'd be unable to groom himself, probably lose his mobility and even his ability to speak, and need round-the-clock care.
My father? The man who never came out of the bathroom without a splash of Old Spice, who in his mid-80s still had a strong right arm that he used to toss tennis balls at the dog park, who got up an hour before dawn so he could swap stories at the golf course with the first guys to tee off.
My mother had suspected he had Alzheimer's for some time. But for many years, Mom and Dad were able to compensate for one another. My mother, whose mind was sharp, had trouble with her legs. She could walk, but needed an arm for support. My father, who couldn't formulate an answer to a question, was physically strong.
After a particularly bad fall when her ankle was shattered, Mom was in the hospital after surgery. Dad would spend the day in the room with her, just sitting in a chair, looking off vacantly and not saying a word. In those last weeks, I was with my mother nearly round-the-clock. During one of those late-night, early-hour conversations, she tried to prepare me for my future.
"I think your father has Alzheimer's," Mom said.
"Yes, I agree," I said. "Once we get you out of here, we'll take him to the doctor."
"I'm sorry to leave you with him," she said.
A few days later, she was gone, taken by pneumonia.
Mom had been Dad's everything — the one who guided him professionally, the one to fix his meals, pick out his suits and ties, keep a perfect home, put money aside for a comfortable retirement, and even let him hit as many mulligans as he liked on the golf course.
He had never in his life paid a bill, gone grocery shopping, tidied the house, done laundry, fixed a sandwich.
On his own for just three months, Dad quickly dropped from the 140 he'd been his entire life to 120 pounds. Also diagnosed with Parkinson's, he became more wobbly and frail. The man who was always smiling and whistling a tune now cried continually.
Always a stellar athlete, Dad played in the baseball minor leagues in the 1940s. He could have played any position. But a smart guy liked Joe Carr only wanted to catch — it was the catcher who really controlled the game, he said.
He was with a Yankees farm team when Lefty Gomez, the Hall of Fame pitcher and teammate to Babe Ruth, broke the news.
"Joe, you've got a really strong arm. And you're a smart guy. You're just too tiny. Some 200-pound third-baseman is going to slide into home plate and cream you."
Dad packed away his catcher's mitt for 30 years.
He only got it out when his non-athletic daughter — me — began playing softball. One day, the coach pulled me out of right field to pitch. The ump — my father — called a record 40 balls.
What Dad lacked in a formal education, he made up for with his charm and ease. He was hired in 1958 by IBM, where he worked as a contracts negotiator on the B-52, Apollo and U.S. Navy submarine projects.
Dad rarely met a stranger he couldn't charm. I remember one time when I was about 13, he took me with him to the mall. As we passed from one end to the other, he was smiling and waving to everyone.
"Dad, are you friends with all these people?"
"Nope, I don't know any of them."
While never interested in books, he would read — and still does — the newspaper until the ink fell off the page. I was a second-grader when Watergate was raging. Over breakfast, he'd read The Washington Post out loud and explain anything I didn't understand. It was then, as a 7-year-old growing up in the Virginia countryside, I decided I would work for a big city newspaper some day.
Next to my mother, the dog, and me — in that order — the biggest love of my father's life was golf.
The day I was born, he played 18 holes. That was back when men just sat in the waiting room. He figured he had a tee time that really shouldn't go to waste.
He ran the IBM golf league for years, never causing suspicion when he and his various partners won the Watson Trophy every year.
Even before Dad retired, he had started working at the golf course as a "starter" or "marshal'' — the guy who drives around the course making sure people are playing fast enough, and having a good time. The pros, Billy McBride, and later Billy Jr., hired Dad to work at whatever golf course they were running for the next 25 years.
In their retirement, Mom and Dad took annual golf trips to Myrtle Beach, S.C., or Pinehurst, N.C. He could hit them long and straight; she could putt.
When I was 16, we took one big family vacation together. We flew out to California and saw all the typical tourist sites: Disneyland, Grauman's Chinese Theater, Golden Gate Bridge.
Upon learning that Pebble Beach was just a couple hours away, Dad said he wanted to play. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," he pleaded.
"Absolutely not," Mom said. Greens fees were $60, and they had a daughter's college education to save for. (Today guest fees are $495, and that doesn't include the caddie).
Instead, we all went on a boat tour to Alcatraz.
Four years ago, Father's Day 2009, while in the early stages of Alzheimer's, he finally got that "once-in-a-lifetime" chance.
Our balcony overlooked the 18th green at Pebble Beach, with the waves from Monterey Bay crashing against the coastline, and sightseers coming out to watch the golfers.
Each afternoon, Dad and I sat on the patio, he with his Budweiser, me with my chardonnay, and we'd talk about our favorite mutual subjects: big band music and Zsa Zsa, the tri-color collie my parents had before they had me.
Each day Dad played a different course: Spyglass Hill, The Links at Spanish Bay and then, of course, Pebble.
We hired a caddie who pointed out Bing Crosby's home, lined up Dad's putts, and kept score — marking down a birdie or par on every hole, despite the bogeys and double bogeys.
"I can't believe a little guy like me is here playing Pebble Beach," Dad said, over and over.
After our trip, he spent more than a year living with me in Miami. Each weekend, we'd have an outing: spring training games, the WGC-Cadillac golf tournament at Doral, boat tours of Biscayne Bay. Hoping to ward off the Parkinson's for as long as possible, he'd go to the gym with me and work out. But no longer able to drive, he was trapped at home while I went to work.
Within months, I saw him slipping away even further than before. The man who used to wear starched white shirts, three-piece suits, skinny or fat ties depending on the decade — couldn't figure out which were swim trunks and which were golf pants.
Food left for him in the fridge would go uneaten.
He sat in front of the TV all day, watching a baseball game or golf tournament. He'd try to record some of the golf tournaments because he wanted to show me the courses in California he'd played. But no longer able to work the remote control with anything more complex than off/on, he'd get frustrated and angry.
He wasn't happy, and neither was I.
In July 2011, I took him back to his home in Virginia and hired at-home caregivers. Billy Jr., the pro at a nearby golf course, issued a standing invite to bring him over and drive around the course any time. The club manager promised to always sit Dad at the corner booth that he had shared with my mom for 20 years. He has a new collie, a tri-color named Callie, to share his morning breakfast sandwich. He joined the YMCA and began working out for 30 minutes with a personal trainer. The church paired him with a lady who sits with him during service, and offers up her arm as they walk up for Communion. A neighbor comes by regularly to clean, and more importantly, to talk to him.
I thought I could handle going home to see my father every couple of months. At first I went up every two months, then four months. But it has become something more and more I dread.
He refuses to take his pills and change his underwear. He makes sexual innuendo, or worse, pinches a woman's buttocks or grabs her breasts. His once pristine language is now laced with four-letter words.
It's been eight months since I last saw him.
Last summer, it was discovered he'd fallen and broken a few bones. I'd hired an additional caregiver to help out.
A month later, one of the caregivers took Dad's vehicle home with her and totaled it. Another had run up thousands on his credit card.
When I arrived at his home, the kitchen was bare — not a scrap of food was in the fridge or cabinets. Despite all the good people looking out for him, he'd been taken advantage of.
As I searched for new, more reliable caregivers and checked out nursing homes, it was up to me to help Dad in the shower, put on his disposable underwear, and help him in and out of his back brace.
Before all of this, I never saw my father in anything more informal than an evening robe and slippers. Now, I was cleaning up his excrement from the shower and helping him off the toilet.
One morning, as I was pulling off his Depends, Dad started chuckling.
"This is one hell of a vacation for you," he said, his pale blue eyes laughing, not crying like they usually do these days.
I began laughing, too.
I don't think I've ever loved him more.

The Lions would be interested in trading for Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth, who might or might not be available, but that interest speaks volumes about the No. 2 pick in the draft.
Eagles surprisingly deal McNabb to rival Redskins
In what is the most surprising move of the entire NFL offseason, the Eagles have traded QB Donovan McNabb to the division-rival Redskins.
Buchanon sees opportunity with Redskins
It made sense for the Redskins to move on free-agent CB Phillip Buchanon, given GM Bruce Allen's familiarity with Buchanon and that the corner could play a significant role.
Report: Redskins sign RB Parker
Multiple media outlets are reporting that the Redskins have signed veteran RB Willie Parker to a one-year deal.
Bradford clears way for blockbuster trade?
Sam Bradford's pro-day workout Monday was so stellar that it may have driven up the price for an interested suitor in the trade market. Meanwhile, Northwestern DE Corey Wootton still has questions to answer after his pro-day workout.

Bar Crawling for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer! by ColleenKMurray - over 1 year ago
"We actually didn't get a picture of our whole group that night, everyone was coming and going throughout the evening. Our bar crawl consisted of 3 bars in Lemont, Illinois. All funds went toward the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer! Custom Ink was go great! It's so easy to design a shirt and the order came in about 5 days! They also donated to a small amount our cause :) "

Renishaw's RLP40 and OLP40 lathe inspection probes offer a choice of radio or optical signal transmission technologies to make part setup and inspection on turning centers accurate and reliable. Measuring 40 mm in diameter and 58.3 mm long, the probes provide uni-directional repeatability of 1 micron and can be used to reduce setup times, scrap and fixture costs while improving process control, the company says. Both designs are hardened and sealed to IPX8 to withstand the extreme environments typical of lathes and turning centers. An eyelid protection system prevents entry of chips and debris that could damage probe internals.
More technology – a lot more!
IMTS 2014 will be the year's largest showcase of new product technologies and new process innovations. If you're looking for machining, tooling, systems, software, solutions and more, you'll find it at IMTS 2014.

Walk into the Evelyn Burrow Museum on the campus of
Wallace at Hanceville, and you enter a world of privilege and 70 years of
collecting pottery, porcelain, and more. It's a world belonging to Evelyn and
Otis Burrow.
According to Museum Director Donny Wilson, some pieces
dated back to the Victorian era. Wilson said she didn't begin to collect things
based on any specific time or origin, but instead because she could and because
it was pretty. They just happened being very valuable at the end. "This is a
one of a kind museum. It has some of the best porcelain pieces in the Southeast,"
said Wilson.
Throughout the museum, one constant you notice is a love
of all things equine. "She collected many different types and varieties of
collectibles," Wilson continued. "One of her favorites were horses. She loved
her horses." Not only porcelain pieces, but bronze sculptures. There are many
items with horses. "She loved fine arts. She loved the porcelain from Germany.
She loved porcelain from Italy. She loved porcelain from France."
The lights seemed to dance on heavy leaded crystal. Porcelain
works of Gentry depicts another time and place. Dozens of sets of hand painted
fine china, and some works depicting faith. "Miss Evelyn's collection is really
great, but it also offers us the opportunity to bring in other artists to the
museum like right now we have John Dersham. John worked for Kodak for 30 years."
Wilson said Dersham traveled the world taking pictures for Kodak.

text: A Florida couple has a problem which just won't buzz off. A massive hornet's nest is hanging along a tree just outside of their home in Greenville.The flying insects are not bothering the Bush's, but they're not taking any chances. The couple notified Madison County Animal Control to come take a look at the situation. Officials say the nest is approximately 20-feet in circumference, about the size of a Volkswagen."As I've said, if they don't bother me I won't bother them," said Norman Bush. "Yes, it concerns me, somebody wants to come by and shoot it or something like that I'm sure they would swarm everywhere and you can imagine if a child or something was out in my yard and they all attacked that child it would be bad news."Madison County Animal Control says they plan to contact the University of Florida to help with the removal options for the nest.

CATEGORIES MoviesYo, 'Portal 2' fans: Paramount is hoping you're also fans of their upcoming summer sci-fi extravaganza, 'Super 8.' They've included an interactive movie trailer for the J.J. Abrams film as a featured extra that drops you into the top-secret government train that -- as we've all seen in the regular trailer -- houses the mysterious being that will eventually break loose and wreak all kinds of havoc.
What's 'Portal 2,' you say? It's a hotter-than-hot video game in which you must solve a series of puzzles using a portal gun to teleport. In other words, it's a geek's dream come true.
Which is pretty much what sci-fi fans are hoping of 'Super 8,' an admitted homage to all those great '70s and '80s classics like 'Close Encounters' and 'E.T.'
Watch the interactive 'Super 8' trailer after the jump.

PRE EMBARKATION: We left JFK by Delta on a 8 ½ h non-stop flight on May 15, 2012 to Venice. After we cleared immigration, and picked up our luggage we got a taxi for $29 Euros to the Hilton Garden Inn located in Mestre just outside the Venice causeway. Our room on the 6th floor facing the pool was very spacious. We also opted for the breakfast. The hotel was in a quiet location only 6 Kilometers from Venice Piazza del Roma bus terminal, and far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The bus stop was right in front of the hotel. We bought a bus and public boat (valporetto) combo tickets for 2 days to see Venice. No cars are allowed in Venice, so we travelled by valporetto or walked. We finally got to see St. Mark's Square, the famous Basilica, Doges Palace, Rialto Bridge and churches galore. We did a 2 hour walking tour of Venice streets, and saw Marco Polo's home. On Friday, May 18 we booked a car service from the hotel to the Venice port; it took us 15 minutes to reach the port. Venice Port was busy with 6 cruise ship docked that day.
Embarkation: After dropping off our luggage we took the elevator to check in. Although there was a long line with a very swift embarkation we got on the ship in 30 minutes. We took the elevator to Deck 6 Room 6264 half way between mid-ship and AFT. After dropping off the the carry on, we went to the Ocean View Cafe to a have a bite to eat.
SILHOUETTE FIRST IMPRESSION. "It's a big ship, but you won't notice it." This ship is over a thousand feet long, making it one of the largest ships afloat. The dining room was at the back of the ship or AFT. Far away from our stateroom! No question that the ship is elegant and extremely well decorated. Speaking of elevators, the Celebrity claims a new high technology. Not only are they fast, smooth and clean but when they arrive, a light above them changes from blue to pink with arrows pointing up or down. Many time we ended up going in the wrong direction for not paying attention to the direction of the arrow.
There are two pool areas. One is for the masses with kids and games and noisy, and the other one is for adults only. The Spa pool is quiet, and shaded with some chairs available. The deck lounge chairs on the deck 14 are always occupied. One has to get there before 9 AM to get a lounge chair. There is a jogging track on this area which is a distraction.
The Sky Observation Lounge high on Deck 14 is special with a great look and view forward. Here, they conduct dances classes during the day, have the Captain's Club reception and a live music band played at night for dancing. During the day it was not crowded and an ideal place to sit and read.
This Solstice class of ships features a half acre of well-maintained lawn on Deck 15 where the passengers can play bocce ball, mini golf, or walk barefoot. The ship also has a large theater and a mini theater where they show movies, various demonstrations or talks.
STATE ROOM: Forward section Room 6264, a Verandah State room. The room size is the same as other cruise lines. Due to the layout of our cabin it was very roomy, with lots of closet spaces to store our clothes, and supplies for 12 nights. We had a 32 "flat screen TV with numerous channels ie. CNN, MSNBC, Fox, BBC, ESPN, etc. The saving grace is the number of free movies you can get. The bathroom is large. The shower had a clear enclosure that is curved and full length and was easy to use with no fancy dials. All the expected amenities and lots of fresh soft towels were provided. We could not find fault or ask for more. Most of the light switches under the bed are hidden away, after a search we realized it was conveniently located to reach from the head of the bed. The bath room lights had a high and low beam and at night it served as night light, a convenient feature. The ice bucket was small but our room attendant filled it up 2 times a day. The balcony was spacious. We had our breakfast there every morning and in the afternoon quiet and a great place to read.
An announcement was made that we had to attend an emergency drill at 4:00 PM in the mid-ship bar. This emergency drill was a video presentation and very quick. Purell dispensers were placed everywhere and crew members also dispensed the hand sanitizers at the entrance to the dining rooms and Ocean View Cafe. The ship left the port promptly at 6 PM cruising through the Venice Canal to Adriatic sea. We were assigned first seating in the Grand Cuvee dining room Deck 3 with a table for eight. Our table mates were a couple from England, one couple from Germany and an American couple from Las Vegas Nevada. Our table mates were all very friendly and amicable people. After dinner we went to Cruise Critic Meet and Greet on Deck 14 and met a few people, and some of the Celebrity staff. Then we went to the theater on Deck 3 to watch the preview of upcoming events.
The collection of specialty restaurants are all located at the stern (AFT) of Deck 5 with the main dining room directly below on decks 4 and 3. An easy way to remember where to go is "dining-aft, casino-middle, and entertainment-forward".
The passageways and rooms are decorated with large black and white photographs by various European artists-photographers, and some statues. Deck 4 and5 is where the ship's shopping arcade is located. Deck 3 housed, Customers relations, Port tours. There is a Grand foyer on this deck where a live band played every evening while people were dancing. Deck 7 had a unique "Hideaway" which was a great area to read. A hanging live tree was located between 2 banks of elevators on Star board and Port side of the ship which could be viewed from Deck-3 to Deck 14. On Deck 10 and 11 the Library was located and contained a very nice collection of books.
THE STAFF : The Captain ship officers were mostly Greek. The Professional staffs were very courteous at all times and they made us feel safe. The room attendants and dining room staffs were from Croatia, Italy, India, Hungary, Philippines, Indonesia and just about every other European and Asian country. The diversity was good. We met some of the staff who were working on the ship when we cruised in February from Bayonne, New Jersey to the Caribbean. Our Cruise Director also sang well.
DINING: The Grand Cuvee dining room is impressive with large 3 story high ornately hidden wine cellar in the back. There were over 1000 passengers eating for 1st seating at 6 PM. The noise level was deafening and was difficult for conversations at our large oval dining table.
THE FOOD: The choice of vegetarian food in the Grand Cuvee(Main) Dining Room is excellent. My wife who eats all foods said the menu choices were superb. Our assistant waiter Sergio is from Honduras, and our waiter Sanjaya was from Bali, Indonesia. The Assistant t Matre` D from Croatia took care of my daily needs during the dinner time, and made the dining experience pleasurable.
The Ocean view Cafe on Deck 14 is a winner. It offers a huge buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Just like NCL they have station for different foods, and desserts. They had an Italian station, Salad and Cheese station, bread station, Chinese Thai food station, India food station. Some are not well marked and often one has to look for them. The ice cream station had many flavors of ice cream, frozen yogurt and sorbet, and soft ice cream every day. The pizza station was open for long hours (noon to past midnights) and the pizza was excellent! It was a great place for a mid-afternoon or a late-night snack.
DRESS CODE . On 13 night cruise voyages there are 3 formal nights. Most ladies dressed elegantly in short or long dresses or pant suits. Most men either wore a suit or Tuxedo, and some defied the rule .
ENTERTAINMENT: There is a mixed assortment of entertainment. The Silhouette Singers Dancers and acrobats were on for 3 different nights. The comedian- juggler from San Francisco was funny, but many people walked out when he shoved 6 Ping-Pong balls into his mouth. Lindsey Hamilton from England singing was excellent, Donoghue an English performer played multiple instruments and was also excellent.
Disembarkation was 8:30 AM on May 30, 2012 was swift. We were at the Venice airport by 9:20 AM by Taxi.
SHORTCOMING: Main Dining room was noisy.
SHORE EXCURSIONS . We took a half day ship sponsored excursion at each port: Ravenna, Italy, Split, Croatia, Valetta, Malta, Catania, Sicily, Naples, Italy, Kotor, Montenegro, and Dubrovnik, Croatia. We did not take a Rome shore excursion

The rule as you understand it applies in most cases, but context can allow differences. I might say 'Cambridge is THE University for studying modern languages'; in this case the pronunciation would be /ði: ju:.../.

I feel I must point out something a little bizarre about the name of your app (or the name of the spelling system it contains), especially given that the app is about pronunciation.
"SaypU", regardless of where the capital letters appear, reads (to me) as "Say Poo". I'm fairly childish so it just makes me titter. However, some people might have a somewhat less puerile sense of humour and be rather more perturbed by the name.

Now that the 2012-13 Ivy slate is history, it's time for the honors to start rolling in.
Penn was represented by two players in the All-Ivy teams that the Ivy League announced today - Miles Cartwright and Tony Hicks.
Cartwright finished the season ranked fifth among Ivy players with 13.5 points per game. His 4.1 assists per game were good for second in Ivy play as well. The junior guard also ranked ninth in minutes per game in Ivy play at 34.0. Cartwright was one of six players to earn a second-team All-Ivy selection.
Hicks, meanwhile, earned one of five honorable mentions. The freshman guard averaged 15.3 points per contest in Ivy play - good for third in the conference. Hicks also ranked in the top 10 in Ivy games in free throw percentage and three-point field goal percentage.
Meanwhile, Princeton's senior forward Ian Hummer was the coaches' selection as the Ivy League Player of the Year, and Harvard freshman guard Siyani Chambers was a unanimous selection as the Ivy League Rookie of the Year.
This season marks the first time since 2008-09 that no Penn player was named first-team All-Ivy after Zack Rosen earned that honor for 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12.

Kyle Clark is very appreciative of the "talented young journalists" hired by 9News in recent years. At 29, he speaks from a vantage point of an old-timer, taking the long view of TV news, changes in the industry and the ongoing need for solid journalism.
When he's not being a sage on the subject of broadcast news, Clark is an enthusiastic craft-beer maker and consumer, a dedicated genealogist and a very funny Tweeter. (A recent one: "So @9NEWS, you want me to cover pot in the workplace AND you like interactive reporter live shots? See you at 5.")
Ostrow's Off the Record Blog
Read more inside scoop and behind-the-scene news on television.
Clark grew up in the gray of upstate New York, in the small town of Lyons, and graduated from Ithaca College in 2005. A conventional path from local agricultural radio to TV stations in Rochester and Binghamton led to statewide awards and a leap to a much sunnier top-20 market. Since joining KUSA in 2007, he has distinguished himself with investigative pieces, feature writing and anchor duties. His graceful prose was evident in an essay about a Colorado snowstorm, his authoritative calm under pressure apparent during the coverage of the July theater shootings. Also this year, tough questions to President Barack Obama and to Rep. Mike Coffman earned him both respect and the wrath of partisans on both sides.
He and his wife, Vanessa, who does PR for Goodwill Industries, married two years ago. They bought a house in Denver's Park Hill neighborhood which they share with their 5-year-old mutt Porter, named for the beer.
Pursuing genealogy, he's traced one side of the family back to 1600, mostly English-Dutch roots; the other side is stuck somewhere around 1900.
Clark is an avid reader, mostly history, but his real passion is craft beers. He brews 5 gallons at a time in his basement. His results, he allows, are "inconsistent." He recently produced a basil wit, a light Belgian style beer using the last of the garden's basil. He keeps a beer journal and an Excel spreadsheet.
Beer lovers are "the greatest group of people I've ever encountered," he said. And looking at the crowd at Denver Beer Company on a recent afternoon, he observed there was nowhere else to find such a variety of humans with a single thing in common, except maybe at the DMV.
The Denver Beer Co. front deck, at 1695 Platte St. in LoDo, is arrayed with picnic tables, behind which garage doors open to give the former auto-body shop an indoor-outdoor feel.
A long bar stretches the length of the room, with barrels of "sleeping" beer arrayed near sitting and standing tables. The malting, mashing, milling, fermenting and so forth occupies the west end of the brewery. Tours are offered daily at 4 p.m.
Open just over a year, the brewery was born in the garages of dedicated brewmasters Charlie Berger and Patrick Crawford. Their goal is to serve only premium artisan ales and lagers, made in small batches in both innovative and old-world styles. The selections change with the seasons. Recently, Graham Cracker Porter, Hey Pumpkin and Pueblo Chili beer were on tap.
"These guys are doing it right," Clark says, sipping an aged chile stout with a hint of chocolate. "They rotate through stuff quickly so there's always something new."
Question: Will local TV news be around in 10 years, and what will it look like?
Answer: News and information will be around. I don't think in terms of working for a TV station, I think in terms of working for a news outfit. The technology will change. I have absolutely no idea what the distribution will look like in the future when I'm getting ready to retire, you know, and I'm the anchor on the story about alien space invaders come to take over our planet... But there will always be a need for sensible aggregation and the need to add context.
Q: With fewer people watching, why should we hold out hope that TV news will get better instead of worse?
A: If people demand better TV news, they'll get better TV news. It's a market-based system. The smaller group demands better of us, in TV news as in craft beer. You will gain a following if you present a quality product.
Q: Does the irresponsible and sometimes incorrect information on social media bother you?
A: Twitter is the answer to what's wrong with Twitter. You saw that during Superstorm Sandy. It's that real-time cleansing.
Q: What are you reading?
A: David McCullough's "The Path Between the Seas: The Creation of the Panama Canal," which I'm reading for the second time, and a Stephen Ambrose history.
Q: What was your first job?
A: Ag radio, Wayne County, N.Y."WACK 1420."
Q: You still have the radio voice.
A: No, I never really had the voice because I never smoked. Never smoked a day in my life.
Q: How did you vote on 64, Colorado's pot amendment?
A: I'm not going to tell you that.
Q: Do you agree with those who say journalists shouldn't vote?
A: I disagree with those who say journalists shouldn't vote, but I am registered unaffiliated.
Q: How do you respond when people accuse you of being biased one way or the other?
A: Sometimes I'll e-mail back, along with the opposite e-mail from someone else, one saying I leaned left, the other saying I leaned right, and suggest they talk about it between them. I think it's funny.
Q: Who are your favorite comic essayists?
A: I'll tell you but you have to include both: David Sedaris and P.J. O'Rourke.
Q: Are you religious?
A: I'm not going to talk about religion but, yes, my wife and I attend church. The only days off I take are for the Great American Beer Festival (in October), my High Holy Days.
Q: How much of what you say as an anchor is your own writing?
A: Every script is a collaboration, but I write or rewrite every word. It's always my own words and context.
Q: What TV shows do you watch?
A: I love "Homeland," "The Walking Dead," "Boardwalk Empire." Post-apocalyptic storylines have always fascinated me. "The Stand" is a favorite book. The "what if" question is fascinating.
Q: What is your best natural talent?
A: Skepticism, in a curious way, not a cynical skepticism.
Q: What is your worst failing?
A. I wish I had more patience, with other people and myself.
Q: Are you an athlete?
A: I was a tennis player but developed tendinitis in my elbow. I skied once in my life. It seems to be an awfully expensive hobby unless you love it dearly.
Q: Who is your TV hero?
A: Charles Kuralt. He had a way of writing that brought illumination to a situation, a person, a place. He told important stories about people you didn't know.
Q: Do you aspire to a network job? Or is your goal to sit in the anchor chair beside Adele Arakawa? And how much time is left on your contract?
A: Years. I have no plans to leave. I don't want to be myopic about it. I would consider anything but I have no real yearning to leave. I don't long to travel. I stay because they allow me to do both investigative and essay reporting in addition to anchoring. There's no such thing as a fulltime anchor anymore. Besides, that wouldn't be fulfilling.
Q: I understand you've had offers. Why do you stay at Channel 9?
A: (Pointing to art on the wall depicting hops and mountains.) That's why I stay.
