Tinnitus...who has it and thinks it might be riding related?

Joined: Oct 2004

I've had serious tinnitus since about age 50 and I'm 64 now. As a child I raced karts. We ran open stacks. The races were a couple hours long on big tracks. WFO most of the time with the engine right behind my helmet. After every race my ears rang for about a week. Later I became an Army helicopter pilot during my war. I flew a Loach and wore a ballistic helmet with no ear plugs to interrupt hearing my radios. The new helmets had built in ear protection but I used the old Ballistic job. I am told most of my hearing loss was due to that. I started losing the mid ranges in my late 20's.
I raced MX for several years too, but we had small mufflers. Still, a pack of any kind of racing motorcycles are a big noise. I didn't wear earplugs, so that probably didn't help.
About age 50 I started riding again and I noticed the ringing of the ears lasted after each ride, then became constant. I'm so used to constant ringing now, I probably couldn't sleep if it went away. It's become an old friend.
I think the riding contributed to my tinnitus. I wear earplugs but only for about ten years. And not always.

Health Analytics and Utilization Review Services to Improve Safety and Quality of Care
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- APS Healthcare, a leading provider of specialty healthcare solutions, and Thomson Reuters, a global business information company, have been selected by the New York State Department of Health to manage the state's Medicaid clinical best practice utilization review program. The program examines how Medicaid patients utilize medical services and explores patterns of potentially unnecessary care and opportunities for improving patient safety or quality of care. The results of sophisticated analytics will be provided to physicians and clinics to enhance the opportunity to improve clinical outcomes through increased knowledge of patients' adherence to treatment or, in some cases, patients overuse of treatment services.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081105/NY44126LOGO )
The project leverages the clinical and behavior change expertise of APS Healthcare and the unique analytic and predictive modeling capabilities of the Medstat Advantage Suite(R) application from Thomson Reuters to identify patient safety issues and flag healthcare services that are duplicative or outside evidenced-based practice guidelines. It will give New York State practitioners prioritized, actionable information they can use to improve health outcomes for Medicaid members.
"This program will help us ensure that services delivered to Medicaid members are medically appropriate, effective and efficient," said James Figge, MD, medical director, Office of Health Insurance Programs (OHIP).

Pearls and Pitfalls in the Use and Abuse of Diuretics for Chronic Congestive Heart FailureConstant J.

The main purpose of using diuretics is usually lost sight of, i.e. it is for the relief of dyspnea by using the least amount of a diuretic. The production of a low output state and hypercoagulation in an attempt to achieve dry weight by lowering blood volume excessively are among the hazards of using more diuretic than is absolutely necessary to achieve the goal of relieving dyspnea. The use of jugular venous pressure measurement and the status of dyspnea should have precedence over body weight in determining diuretic dose adjustment. Often forgotten in using diuretics is that potassium without magnesium will not enter cells and that the almost universal preference for furosemide over thiazides threatens to increase the incidence of osteoporosis. Also, the tendency to ignore loss of the water-soluble vitamins thiamine and ascorbic acid may result in refractory edema and the inability to manage the stresses of congestive heart failure.

Remember Me
Johnny A. is widely regarded as one of America's finest contemporary guitarists. Gibson thinks so – their Custom Shop designed a Signature Edition guitar per his specific requests which, when it was marketed in 2003, placed him in an exclusive club that included legends like BB King, Wes Montgomery, Chet Atkins, Joe Perry, Pat Martino and Les Paul himself. The public thinks so too - Johnny A.'s latest works have sold many thousands of copies as well as being his personal best. The most recent CD's - 2004's Get Inside and 1999's Sometime Tuesday Morning, are the critically acclaimed solo culmination of a lifetime of learning, sharing and bonding in a long parade of bands and players.
As a bright-eyed six-year old in Malden, Massachusetts, Johnny became fascinated with the drums, a habit his father encouraged by buying him a kit. There were lessons and the Jr. High School marching band, but as fun as the skins were, he realized that their melodic capability was quite limited. Rhythm had taken a backseat to melody and since the most melodic instrument in any 60's beat group was guitar, those six-strings now began their inexorable pull on Johnny A's life. Once the four "mop-tops" from Liverpool dropped like a bomb from Ed Sullivan's studio into his living room in 1964, his course was set.
A $49 Lafayette Electronics guitar became Johnny A.'s first girlfriend. A humble beginning for sure, but his mom was no fool and wanted to be safe if this 'guitar thing' just turned out to be another passing teenage phase. It wasn't. Johnny saw the Beatles at Suffolk Downs outside of Boston in 1966 and their magical presence sent the impressionable lad into a blur of activity – sweeping up hair and doing odd jobs at his aunt's salon to save up the 88 bucks needed to buy a Vox Clubman guitar. Then, of course, he had to have a Gretsch too. No, this was no passing phase.
Fate leaned in and dealt a tough one when the active 13-year old developed a curvature in his spine and suffered massive and painful muscle spasms as a result. Doctors put Johnny in a full body cast for 14 months and eventual body brace for two years to immobilize his back and neck during treatment. As much as this terrible handicap limited the schoolboy in his activities, it didn't stop him from playing. In fact, the condition actually forced Johnny to improve his skills since he could no longer look down at his fingers while forming chords and picking.
In high school he was freed from the cast, graduated and then went on to a semester and a half at Boston's Berklee School of Music. Ironically, Johnny had no interest in attending even one of his guitar lessons at the prestigious school - they taught textbook Bebop, while he had moved onto the latest sounds: Progressive Rock and Jazz/Rock Fusion. The instructors preached Lester Young, but Johnny grooved on Mahavishnu Orchestra with John McLaughlin, King Crimson and Return to Forever featuring Bill Connors and Chick Corea. He bid adieu to Berklee and schooled himself, both at home and in Boston's hippie-era club scene at places like the Ark and Boston Tea Party.
In amongst going to see Ten Years After, Steppenwolf, Edger Winter's White Trash, Rhinoceros, Spirit and dozens more, Johnny put together his own group called Squanty Roo. They might not have blazed a trail to Budokan, but they did play the Fusion sounds that the guitarist was digging on. After that it was a short pilgrimage to San Francisco to absorb some counterculture and do a brief stint with percussionist Mingo Lewis.
By 1975 Johnny A. had worked out of his progressive phase and hungered to put together a basic rock outfit with the energy of Aerosmith and the melodic fascinations of the Beatles. It was the pre-punk period and Boston was about to become a hotbed of local talent and a leading city to support the brand new wave of bands and attitude. Johnny formed the group The Streets, a leather-clad unit on the ground floor of hard rock that embraced the sounds of 60's British Invasion pop. When Boston's punk scene finally climbed out of a handful of dingy rock and roll basements with its first wave of rock recruits for the brand new era, The Streets were there, scoring a major local radio hit with the song "What Gives."
Eventually, personnel changes killed The Streets, but the guitarist formed other bands – Johnny A.'s Hidden Secret and Hearts on Fire, a unit featuring his wife Beth on vocals. With a sound that drew from country-western twang but rocked solid, Hearts on Fire preceded Maria McKee's Lone Justice and pioneered a distinctive place within Boston's thriving mid-80's local scene. Competing in the 1986 edition of WBCN-FM's annual Rock and Roll Rumble spotlighting two dozen of the year's best up and coming bands, Hearts on Fire blazed a trail all the way into the finals, becoming recognized truly as one of New England's finest and brightest hopes.
But Johnny broke up the group instead after realizing that their direction had become "calculated" and "not honest." Disillusioned after reaching so far within the band format, he began playing with other artists like former Derek and the Dominos keyboardist Bobby Whitlock before hooking up with legendary J. Geils Band front man Peter Wolf. Johnny stayed with Wolf for seven years, playing on his albums and co-producing one of them – 1996's Long Line, as well as supporting the charismatic singer onstage around the world. During this period, in 1994, the Gibson Guitar Company first recognized Johnny's talents, announcing that the company was officially endorsing his fruitful career.
But once again Johnny A. felt he had taken a direction and pursuit as far as he could. The idea began to take hold that he should return to a solo direction – this time creating an album of melodies and music that swirled about in his head. Even though it didn't seem as if there was any commercial potential in the move, that wasn't the point – Johnny needed to bring this project to life and it wouldn't resemble anything he'd been involved in the past. Peter Wolf and Johnny A. parted ways and the guitarist began recording tracks for his new experiment – an album of music made merely to satisfy his own muse with no commercial constraints whatsoever.
The result was Sometime Tuesday Morning, a solo instrumental guitar album that Johnny A. released on his own label for his own enjoyment plus that of a few intrigued friends and family members. But the warmth of its guitar tones and allure of melody made Sometime Tuesday Morning much more – it made the album a surprise hit. After gigs Johnny began selling dozens, then hundreds, and eventually thousands of copies out of his car trunk. The attention led to a re-release and distribution deal with Steve Vai's Favored Nations label and an ever-widening circle of high-prestige gigs with the likes of B.B. King, Robert Cray, and Jeff Beck plus an appearance at Eric Clapton's "Crossroads Guitar Festival" in 2004.
That success gave Johnny A. the confidence to assemble his second instrumental tour de force called Get Inside, another critically acclaimed album that traveled even deeper into the richness of guitar texture and melody. The release once again garnered national radio airplay and inspired another round of touring commitments and personal appearances. An instructional guitar DVD has followed plus plans for his newest project – a live CD/DVD featuring special guests and new material. It has been a long way from that first $49 guitar to Gibson's Johnny A. Signature Edition (Metallica's Kirke Hammett recently bought one), but it's been a fruitful journey. Johnny A. is still doing what he loves to do the most - play guitar and create music, and he's still getting better at it all the time.

Juventus forward Alessandro Del Piero has told Italy boss Marcello Lippi he would love to be part of next year's FIFA World Cup™ squad.
Del Piero has missed almost the entire season with various injuries and, though he is now nearing full fitness, is not part of the Italy squad which will face Holland and Sweden over the next five days.
Nevertheless, Del Piero still fancies a trip to South Africa next summer.
"Me, in South Africa? I have already been there, but I would like to go back there. Having been a part of the Italy squad at the beginning, I still feel like I'm part of it."
Del Piero must hope that Lippi also considers him part of the squad as the coach said earlier this week it would be "difficult" for anyone from the outside to force their way in.
There have been repeated calls for Antonio Cassano to be handed another chance with the national team, while Francesco Totti and Alessandro Nesta - who both announced their international retirement after the Azzurri won the tournament in Germany three years ago - also have their champions.
Del Piero has not been a part of the Italy squad since last September's qualifier against Georgia. Meanwhile, Juve goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was back in training today with the current Azzurri squad after overcoming the illness which kept him in the team hotel yesterday.
Giuseppe Rossi also joined up with the squad today after playing for Villarreal in the Copa del Rey last night.
Another man in camp today was Daniele De Rossi, the Roma midfielder who fractured his cheekbone at the weekend in a challenge with Inter Milan's Patrick Vieira.
De Rossi underwent surgery yesterday and is expected to be out of action for around three weeks, but today had lunch with his international team-mates.

"Overall, a poor destination to visit"
- Posted 2 months ago
I should suggest one to go there only if one wants to visit Mahalaxmi temple. Otherwise, for the young generation, it is a very gusty place. No good facilities, not even 1 10th good of Mumbai. Very polluted city. No good hotels, only dhabas ( for pure veg ). Overall, a poor destination to visit.More » « Less

Nice place to live with family for few weeks. Good hotels and spicy foods. Lots of places to visit. But a bit expensive if you travel in private vehicles. Mahalaxmi temple is one of the best holy place out there. Panhala ghat is also a good place to learn something about history of shahu maharaj and his folks.More » « Less

"Visit this place for a lovely experience on the Panhala fort"
- Posted Jan 5, 2015
I had recently been to Kolhapur and a friend of mine suggested that I visit this fort located about 30 kms from the city. The Panhala fort holds importance as the Famous Maratha warrior Bajiprabhu Deshpande sacrificed his life on this fort so that H.H.Shivaji Maharaj could safely reach the other fort. Currently, a tourist place you can find lots of food stalls on the fort. Do not miss having the Pani-puri and Bhel here as they are one of the specialties.More » « Less

"Wild life, adventure and devotional all in one trip"
- Posted Dec 1, 2014
Kolhapur, Panhala and Dajipur Forest Reserve. It was a wonderful weekend trip, which started with our visit to Kolhapur Mahalaxmi Temple. It is really divine and one of the very old temples with all its rustic charm. The devotion with which people throng this place is really amazing. The Kirontsav which happens twice in a year is worth a mention when the sun's rays fall on the feet of the Goddess.More » « Less
From Kolhapur we proceeded to Panhala where we put up in a bungalow with my office colleagues. The food ordered from a local household consisting of the famous Kolhapuri "Tambda","Pandhra" rasa with mutton which was succulent. The chapattis were soft and tasty. The hospitality of the locals is worth a mention. The Kolhapur�s are large hearted people.
We had an early morning walk around the Panhala fortress the fresh air and breath-taking view from atop the fortress will linger in our hearts for a long long time. In the short time we had, we could not take up the wonderful trek from Panhala to Vishalgad. The heroics of Baji Prabhu who battled the enemy and waited for the signal of Maharaj Chattrapati Shivaji reaching the fort before giving up his life cannot be put here in limited words. The true patriotism and valour shown by the people then is hard to find in the present day world. Shall definitely take time to go for the trek. Can't believe that the army of Shivaji Maharaj did it in the dark night, crossing the Pavan Khind in treacherous conditions. Even with the modern day facilities we find it tough to undertake such treks.
After the walk and siteseeing on the fort we proceeded down back to Kolhapur enrooted to Dajipur Forest Reserve. We had the famous Phadtare Misal which was mouth-watering and nutritious with the sprouted pulses and bread. After the hearty breakfast we proceeded to Dajipur Forest Reserve.
On the way we halted at a very beautiful and scenic spot on the backwaters of the Radhanagri Dam. My colleague from Kolhapur had organized wonderful picnic bench with tables, umbrella, barbecue which was cooked from the stags and wood collected from the shrubs around. The meal cooked was just wonderful and melted in our mouths what with the use of natural wood. We swam to our hearts content and were famished even after having had a hearty breakfast. We devoured all the barbecue fish, chicken, sheek kababs, panner tikkis, and veg patties. The rumali rotis, biryani, mutton curry all were devoured in no time. However the quantity of food got by my friend was quite a lot and sufficed till dinner.
After the heavy meal and small power nap we proceeded to Dajipur Resort where our friend had booked tents for us. The tents are well-equipped and accommodate four people. We had a camp fire in the evening with rounds of "Antakshari" and music. The dinner again went well with Amarkhand as a dessert and accompaniment with rumali rotis.
The next day we left in very early at 5.30AM in two jeeps by the locals deep in the forest for about 17 km till the watering point. On the way we got to see the Bison. The best time for sighting animals is in summer. Thought we reached the watering point quite early we were not lucky to see any more animals. However we saw different species of birds. On our way back we visited the Gagangiri Ashram. Where they are constructing a temple and have plenty of cows/calves. It seems Gagangiri Maharaj a saint had attained siddhi on meditating at a place nearby. They make and sell hair oils, shampoos, medicines for stomach ailments all from the herbs grown by them or from the fauna around.
We left back home after a meal cooked by the caretakers at the place. We had a very refreshing and enjoyable stay and a wonderful weekend. Our group of 12 colleagues all enjoyed immensely each other�s company. We sincerely wish we should have more such outings.

"A historic and a religious city"
- Posted Nov 22, 2014
Kolhapur is a historic city. The main attraction is the Mahalaxmi Temple, one of main Shakti Peethas. We visited the temple and other city attractions. Jyotiba temple was very memorable. Temple visit was very well managed and smooth keeping in mind we had senior citizen and a young kid. Vegetarian food options were quite good. We will definitely plan another trip and follow the same options.More » « Less

Reese Witherspoon and Chelsea Handler are besties. They are one of those Hollywood girlmances like Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift or Busy Philipps and Michelle Williams.
Well, that is, until you watch THIS video where Reese throws some serious shade at Chelsea for buying expensive wall-rugs and being "childless."
In this scripted clip from the new season of "Chelsea Lately," Reese is trying to get Chelsea to admit that she makes a lot of money, based on how nice her office is.
"This must have cost a lot of money," Reese says pointing to the wall art, "You must be making a lot of money now, right? But then again, you are childless, so that saves a lot of money, right?"
The best part is when Reese basically says Chelsea is ONLY famous because of her.
"You know, you didn't have this life before you met me. It's kind of like you could break your life into two parts: Before Reese, B.R., After Reese, A.R. And this office is definitely, like, After Reese, A.R. okay? Not Like I'm comparing myself to Jesus or anything!"
The video is really cute and not as snarky as we're making it seem. You must watch it. Besides, it's the most we're getting from Reese lately especially since she hasn't done a rom-com in YEARSSS!!

New US ambassador to Lebanon David Hale presents credentials to Lebanese President Michel Sleiman in Baabda, Friday, Sept. 6, 2013. (The Daily Star/Dalati Nohra)
BEIRUT: The U.S. ramped up its diplomatic efforts in Lebanon Friday ahead of a potential military strike in Syria, withdrawing embassy staff while reassuring the Lebanese government that it would protect it from fallout across the border.
The measures come amid fears that U.S. interests may be under threat if planned strikes against the regime of President Bashar Assad go ahead.
The U.S. State Department asked its nonemergency staff and their family members to leave Lebanon, citing security concerns.
"The Department of State drew down nonemergency personnel and family members from Embassy Beirut due to threats to U.S. Mission facilities and personnel," a statement on the Embassy website said.
It also urged U.S. citizens to avoid all travel to Lebanon due to current safety and security concerns and for those in the country to prepare to depart at short notice.
"U.S. citizens living and working in Lebanon should understand that they accept risks in remaining and should carefully consider those risks," the State Department said.
In a separate statement, the State Department said it approved the drawdown of nonemergency personnel and family members who wish to leave Turkey's Adana.
"Given the current tensions in the region, as well as potential threats to U.S. Government facilities and personnel, we are taking these steps out of an abundance of caution to protect our employees and their families, and local employees and visitors to our facilities," the State Department said.
President Barack Obama is seeking the authorization of Congress to launch a military strike against Syria in a bid to weaken Assad's capabilities and punish the regime over its alleged use of chemical weapons.
Washington has accused Damascus of using poisonous gas against citizens on several occasions this year including the Aug. 21 attack in the Eastern Ghouta suburb of Damascus. Syria has denied the allegations.
But Obama is facing pressure from the international community to refrain from any such attack as Russia and Iran warn of a regional crisis in the event of a military strike against their Arab ally.
In the July-August 2006 war between Lebanon and Israel, the U.S. Embassy evacuated its citizens by sea.
According to a Wall Street Journal report Friday, unidentified U.S. officials said they were on alert for Iran's fleet of small, fast boats in the Gulf amid fears Hezbollah could attack the American Embassy in Beirut in retaliation for any U.S. strike against Assad's regime.
The report added that the State Department had begun preparing for potential reprisals against American missions in the Middle East and North Africa a week ago.
In addition to the American measures, Italy dispatched a warship to the eastern Mediterranean that could evacuate Italian troops from Lebanon if the conflict in Syria spills over the border, the country's navy said Friday.
The Andrea Doria, a 153-meter destroyer, "will monitor the situation," a navy spokesman told AFP.
Italy has 1,100 soldiers deployed in Lebanon, where it heads up the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon on the southern border with Israel.
UNIFIL is comprised of a total of around 10,000 soldiers.
Quoted in Italian media Friday, UNIFIL chief Paolo Serra said there was "tense calm" in southern Lebanon.
The Italian navy said the warship was already in the area, which has seen a major concentration of international naval assets in the last few days.
The navy said it had also sent a frigate, the Maestrale, to patrol off the coast of Lebanon.
In a fresh challenge to official U.S. rhetoric, Hezbollah MP Hussein Musawi said the U.S. was gearing for significant military action against Syria and warned that such an attack would result in a "global disaster" with severe consequences.
"They are preparing for the war against Syria under the pretext of a humane strike but the president is seeking authorization from Congress, which means he is heading toward a bigger war than a punitive operation," he said, according to a Hezbollah statement.
"The region faces an international disaster, the repercussions of which no one will be spared from if the lunatics in the U.S. administration remain on their [path] of transgression and tyranny," Musawi said. He also called on the "free people of the world" to fend off a possible strike on Syria.
But the Obama administration's new envoy to Beirut reassured Lebanon that the U.S. would work on insulating it from any military strike.
"We are also very focused on insulating Lebanon from any aftermath of any response to Syria's chemical attack and preserving Lebanon's policy of disassociation," U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon David Hale told reporters at the Grand Serail, in his first comments since taking his post.
Hale, who spoke following a meeting with caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati, said his talks with officials centered on the challenges facing Lebanon as a result of the crisis in Syria.
Earlier Friday, Hale presented his credentials to President Michel Sleiman at Baabda Palace.
Hale said Assad needed to be held accountable for the "outrageous" use of chemical weapons. Describing Beirut's policy of disassociation as a right for Lebanon, he said: "We believe the interests of the Lebanese people would be best served if all Lebanese adhere to the policy of disassociation."
Hale, who arrived in Lebanon last week to replace former Ambassador Maura Connelly, also said Hezbollah's involvement in Syria's crisis represented further challenges for the country.
"Hezbollah continues to blatantly violate the disassociation policy through direct participation in the Syrian conflict, exacerbating the challenges facing Lebanon today," he said.
During the talks, Mikati said dialogue was the "only way to resolve the crisis in Syria," calling on distancing Lebanon from regional repercussions."
According to a statement from his office, Mikati said "using force and violence cannot resolve the issues at hand."

That's a pretty awesome drop rate. I spent basically all day Monday doing STF runs (ran several with Daizen), and didn't get squat. 1 or two Prototype Salvages, but no new parts. Up to like 95 EDCs, so almost ready to buy a full ground set (Mk XI). Figure buying the ground set is smarter, never going to run enough ground to get a set there. Then again, the Mk XI space set would probably be of more use, even though I've got a Mk XII shield. Annoying that you can't incorporate higher-Mk gear towards a set.
i.e. if you have two Mk XI parts and a Mk XII, should count as a set at the Mk XI level. Should be a full set at whatever the lowest-ranked piece of gear in the set is...
Perhaps, if I am very lucky, the feeble efforts of my lifetime will someday be noticed and maybe, in some small way, they will be acknowledged as the greatest works of genius ever created by man. ~Jack Handey

Ce commentaire est de: Punch One Night, Two Lives, and the Fight That Changed Basketball Forever (Hardcover)
In the introduction, Feinstein tells us how compelling he found this subject and how he pursued Tomjanovich and Washington rather than writing a book on golf. Then he inexplicably rushes through the book without apparent editing or proofreading. As many of the other reviewers point out, the repetition is extremely distracting. Of course, Feinstein's work never really qualifies as fine literature, but he's usually a very good sports journalist. This plainly is not his best work, which is too bad because he was right -- there was an interesting story here.
Regarding that story, the author's presentation was reasonable but could have been more comprehensive. In particular, he presents the punch and it's aftermath as an unfortunate incident -- almost an accident. Although he mentions in passing that Tomjanovich came close to dying, he never explores just what that would have meant, both to Washington and to professional sports. Instead, he recounts both players' careers and alternates between sympathetic and pathetic portrayals of Washington. He seems to want us to choose sides and then tells us that there are no sides.
As for Washington, it's unfortunate that this one event has overshadowed all of the good things that he has done inside and outside of basketball. But I have to agree with John Lucas that Washington has never owned up and taken responsibility for his actions. He refers to events using the passive voice. He childishly blames someone else for starting the fight. Heck, Tomjanovich takes more responsibility for what happened than Washington does. And if we use the measure that bad people are people who do bad things, for one moment at least Kermit Washington was a bad person.

Ce commentaire est de: The Punch: One Night, Two Lives, and the Fight That Changed Basketball Forever (Paperback)
I hadn't read a sports book since junior high school, and if John Feinstein truly is one of the best authors in the genre, this stinker may well be my last. I expected so much more, and Feinstein promised a gripping tale: One split-second mistake overshadowing a lifetime of good works, forever altering two lives and changing how basketball operates.
That's a great premise, but Feinstein never comes anywhere close to proving his point. He's not even in the same zip code. What he does prove is this: Kermit Washington (the puncher) grew up poor, had a so-so basketball career, almost killed a guy, got numerous second chances, but continues to blame everyone else -- racism, other players -- for something that most have forgotten. The punchee, Rudy Tomjanovich, got his face mangled by Washington, missed a year, then had a nifty comeback and became a rich and successful NBA head coach who for some crazy reason doesn't like talking about a dark period of his life. As for the league: It added another referee. Whoop de doo.
Feinstein relies heavily on cliches and writes like a freelancer for "Basketball Digest." Chapters drone on and on recapping NBA seasons from the late '70s that could be summarized in a paragraph or two.
"The Punch" could have been a fairly interesting 4-page magazine article. Too bad it stretches for more than 300 pages.

Ce commentaire est de: The Punch: One Night, Two Lives, and the Fight That Changed Basketball Forever (Paperback)
I was extremely disappointed by this book. I have listened to interviews with John Feinstein on several radio programs and always admire his vast knowledge of sports, including its influence on popular culture, and in addition have heard nothing but positives about his books (in hindsight, mainly by radio program hosts who were no doubt sucking up to him during the interviews...). I picked up this book because of this and due to the fact that the only thing I know about this incident (like many others, I presume) I have seen over and over in a 10 second video clip: Kermit Washington knocking Rudy Tomjanovich out with a devastating blow. Sounded like a fascinating incident with which to revolve a story around. This book, however, told me very little, and I was pained in turning the pages. Kermit grew up poor, worked hard, still denies he did it intentionally, blah, blah, blah. Rudy doesn't want to talk about it that much, etc. These points were repeated dozens of times. The only interesting things I found about the book were those ancillary to The Punch and how they were affected. And "the fight that changed basketball forever?" How? A third referee was added and fines and suspensions were increased? Oh boy. Gripping. Racism was mentioned a couple of times as a reason for Kermit's troubles after the incident, both by the author and by Kermit, but nothing more was mentioned (or explored?). Confusing. The author noted that he was originally scheduled to work on another novel, and wrote this book against the wishes of his editors. Next time, John, listen to them.
2.0 out of 5 stars A broken record of a book,
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: Punch One Night, Two Lives, and the Fight That Changed Basketball Forever (Hardcover)
This was the first Feinstein sports book I've read, and I was mostly disappointed when I finished the last page.
This book is so REPETITIVE, it totally took away my connection to the author. I felt like I had been ripped off, like I was reading something put out by people who didn't care about me, the reader.
Two of the first three chapters are essentially the same. They tell and retell in shockingly similar words the events of the punch itself.
I remember at least three instances in the book where Feinstein writes that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar didn't like physical play against him. I remember at least four instances where he writes that Calvin Murphy was one of the NBA's toughest fighters, and that you didn't want to miss with him.
I remember several instances where Feinstein wrote the same thing twice, such as when Washington said he feared making a mistake in front of Jerry West, how it was hot in Houston in August, how Tomjanovich started drinking at age 15, how his hometown was a blue-collar town and how Murphy felt "devastated" after the punch.
The only good parts of the book are Tomjanovich's recalling of his battle with alcohol and his overall evolution as a person. And, some of the stuff about Washington and his Portland days were decent.
But at the end, aside from the incredibly sloppy repetition, I still didn't feel like I knew the real Kermit Washington, not nearly as much as I knew Rudy T. I don't think Feinstein got him to open up as much as he should have or could have.
Other reviewers were right, too: This should have been a nice long magazine piece. It wasn't worthy of a book, as Feinstein made so painfully obvious with his repetition. He had to fill the pages somehow, he must have resigned himself to thinking.

Rudy Tomjanovich ran toward Kermit Wasington to break-up a scuffle between Kermit Washington and Kevin Kunnert when Kermit, whose back was facing Rudy, turned quickly and landed the punch. It was no ordinary punch. Rudy felt as though the scoreboard had fallen on him; he could taste spinal fluid leaking from his brain. In all Rudy would undergo surgery five times -- plastic surgery, surgery resetting shattered bones, restoring tear ducts. Feinstein's book traces the lives of both men prior to and after the punch. Even more, he chronicles the extent to which the NBA evolved around the punch, how it changed the image of the NBA and the rules governing player fights.
The punch was an unrepresentative incident for both men. Kermit Washington at 6 foot, 8 inch and 222 pounds was enormously powerful. Rudy was not on-guard when he approached. Yet, neither player had reputations for violently aggressive play; many other players were "better candidates" to have been involved in such an incident. Fate saved the moment for Rudy and Kermit. John Feinstein has done a superb job of showing the extent to which both men continued to live under the shadow of the punch throughout their careers. (Also instructive is the ongoing argument between Washington and Kunnert over who started what what between the two of them.) Rudy Tomjanovich is, I think, the better known of the two players, and justifiably commands an honorable reputation in the league. Kermit was less known to me. Perhaps other readers will, as I did, come to have a renewed respect for him as a player and a citizen. The Punch is a quick, absorbing read. As an "incident" in NBA history, it deserved a writer who would bring careful research and lucid prose to that singular event. Feinstein brings both.

Ce commentaire est de: Punch One Night, Two Lives, and the Fight That Changed Basketball Forever (Hardcover)
I don't want to re-hash what the other reviewers have written, but rather explain what I found to be a fascinating aspect of this tragic story. The book goes into the details of both Washington and Tomjanovich's childhoods and college careers and it is absolutely uncanny how similar they were. Each man had it very rough early in life. Tomjonavich's family would somtimes go on welfare and his father was an alcoholic. Washington's mother was mentally ill and unable to care for him and his brother. As a result, they were raised by relatives and a cold stepmother.
These early struggles would haunt both men and provide them with a strong motivation to succeed in life. Basketball and education became the vehicle for that success. There were other similarities, but I don't want to spoil anything for potential readers.
What helps to make Feinstein's writing so effective is that he doesn't belabor the point, but rather lets the reader come to this realization.
A great read.
4.0 out of 5 stars The Punch: A Good Book For Sports Fans,
Shaun Maloney (Middlesex, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Punch One Night, Two Lives, and the Fight That Changed Basketball Forever (Hardcover)
This book is the story of two men, Kermit Washington and Rudy Tomjanovich. These two were both exceptional basketball players in the 1970s but neither would be remembered for their skills. On December 9,1977 the L.A. Lakers faced the Houston Rockets. Washington played for the Lakers and Tomjanovich for the Rockets. During the game Washington got into an argument with a Rocket player. Tomjanovich ran over to separate the two but was met with a punch to the face. The hit damaged his skull and brain. Feintein then goes on to describe how each man lived after that, the criticism Washington met, and the road to recovery. Since the huge accident both men have traveled far. Washington is still haunted while Tomjanovich seems to be okay now as the head coach of the Houston Rockets. For one punch to change sports so much is amazing and how the two men have thought about this fist to face meeting everyday of their life is unbelievable. This book was pretty interesting for sports fans but is a little long. I would recommend this book to people who have time to read and enjoy sports books.

Ce commentaire est de: Punch One Night, Two Lives, and the Fight That Changed Basketball Forever (Hardcover)
I read this book concurrently with "You Cannot Be Serious" by John McEnroe.
One of these books is about a star who admits his foibles and, without attempting to justify them, explains why he acted the way he did, and the consequences of same. Put more simply
1. He did it
2. He accepts reponsibility for it.
The other is a hagiographic account of how one young basketball player almost killed another player with a single blow. The victim eventually recovered and went on to moderately great heights in the NBA. The other carped and whined his way through life, and despite all the spin this well-regarded sports journalist put on the story, two inescapable facts come out in the book.
1. He did it.
2. He doesn't accept responsibility for it.
It's certainly disappointing what happened, not least for Rudy Tomjanovich, the victim. But get a life already. There was only one victim that night, but Kermit Washington has spent the rest of his life attempting to pursuade anyone who will listen that there were two.
4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad book, though overly long,
m_noland "m_noland" (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Punch One Night, Two Lives, and the Fight That Changed Basketball Forever (Hardcover)
This is not a bad book, though it is overly long. Some of the repetition is due to Feinstein's need to describe "the punch" to establish the need to delve into the lives of the protagonists, Kermit Washington (the punch thrower) and Rudy Tomjanovich (the punch recipient). Feinstein then begins telling each of their stories through alternating chapters. By the time he gets to their meeting on 9 December 1977 the confrontation is anticlimactic, in light of the detailed analysis that opens the book.
From a normative perspective, the punch and its aftermath can be summed up in three quotes from former NBA players. On Washington's culpability, as Calvin Murphy points out "Your first instinct is to protect yourself. You hear someone coming from behind, you turn and get your hands up. Then, if you need to throw a punch, you throw it. Kermit, turned, saw Rudy clearly, and threw the punch. He was angry. He wanted to hurt somebody. Not in the way he did, I know that. But this wasn't an act of self-defense. If it had been, he would have just been covering up" (page 52).
On Tomjanovich's contribution, according to Wes Unseld "There is no one I respect more in the game than Rudy Tomjanovich, but he got himself into something that he was not prepared for. He made a mistake running in the way he did. That doesn't mean he deserved to the pay the price he paid - no one deserves anything like that. He was certainly the victim of something horrible. But regardless of his intentions - and I assume that they were good and peaceful - he is not blameless in what happened" (page 252).
And on Washington's problematic quest for redemption, John Lucas observes, "You know what I wish? I wish [Washington] could just say, 'I'm sorry. I screwed up.' All the years, all I've heard over and over again is, 'I'm sorry but...' Sometimes in life, you make a mistake and there's no buts and no explanations....There's no peace in 'I'm sorry, but.' You can't find peace until you truly understand that the only thing to say is, 'I'm sorry,' period" (pages 343-4).
Fascinating material, impressive reporting, but 300+ pages are not required to tell this story.
3.0 out of 5 stars Feinstein Doesn't Make His Case,
mwreview "mwreview" (Northern California, USA) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Punch One Night, Two Lives, and the Fight That Changed Basketball Forever (Hardcover)
I first heard about the punch incident between L.A. Laker power forward Kermit Washington and Houston Rocket All-Star Rudy Tomjanovich on a 25th anniversary television clip. I was intrigued by the story. This book was mentioned in the program so I sought it out. The title of the book piqued my interest even more: "...The Fight That Changed Basketball Forever." I had never heard of the punch until that 25th anniversary story. I was 3 years old in 1977 when the event occurred and had not been very interested in basketball until the last three years. I was definitely opening this book ignorant on the subject. Feinstein's words and the current state of the NBA as I see it are the only pieces of evidence I have as to whether this event "changed basketball forever."
First, the good points: Feinstein offers some description on the game in 1977 (background I needed). I had no idea that there was enough fighting to put the NBA in almost the same league as the NHL. I learned that only two referees oversaw the game until the following year, and it was difficult for only two to control the game. A thorough account of the event and the aftermath is given, including some insight into the struggles of Tomjanovich's life that, I assume, have not been written in such detail before this book. Feinstein also gives a thorough background on the lives of Washington and Tomjanovich. In the case of Washington: what's a good way for a PR guy to catapult the career of an otherwise unknown player? Make up a reachable milestone like an average of 20 rebounds and 20 points per game for the season. Washington's rise to fame was very interesting. The book also shows that most of the animosity is between Washington and Kevin Kunnert (the player Washington blames for starting the fight that led to the punch).
Problems I find: Like many other reviewers noted, Feinstein repeats a lot of information. The first several chapters are a reiteration of the event and immediate aftermath. Similar quotes are used throughout the book (I lost count of how many times Tomjanovich is quoted as saying he doesn't want to be remembered as the guy who "got nailed"). The repetitive nature of the book doesn't bother me as much as the overall style, which doesn't seem very professional to me, especially from an author of so many sports books and receiver of so much praise. Some of the quotes he chose to use seem almost silly. My favorite example is on page 149: "For some reason we always had trouble in the Palestra," Washington said. "I think it may have something to do with the fact that those teams were always good." How does he get quotes like that!
In sum, I bet this story has been written as an article in sports magazines with glossy color photos many times. I think I'd enjoy it in article form more and probably not miss much information. The story seemed to be stretched to fill the pages of a book. What's more, I don't think Feinstein made his case that the event changed basketball. The league already decided to lower the boom on violent acts before the 1977 regular season and violent behavior is still seen a lot in the NBA today with the usual fines and suspensions. Repeat offenders like Ron Artest are praised for their intensity and "playing the game the way it should be played." Is there another punch waiting to happen somewhere? I hope not, but I don't think 1977 has changed much beyond the lives of those who were involved.

"The body of Amena Atiyyeh Qdeih, 57, was found near the border in the Khazaa area" close to the southern city of Khan Yunis, a health ministry spokesman said.
"She had been hit by several bullets," the spokesman said, adding that her body could not immediately be retrieved because of continuing Israeli fire.
The Israeli military said troops had fired warning shots when several people failed to heed instructions to keep back from the security fence.
"The suspects continued to move forward, so the soldiers fired at their legs, hitting one of them," a spokesman said.
Both neighbours and the Gaza health ministry said the dead woman suffered from mental health problems.
The shooting came after an Israeli aircraft hit a suspected rocket launch site in the north of the Gaza Strip late on Friday.
Tensions have risen in and around Gaza after a year of relative calm.
An increase in Israeli raids and Palestinian rocket attacks as well as border incidents have stoked fears of a new confrontation between Israel and the territory's Hamas rulers.

The Family Under the Bridge (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
This is the delightfully warm and enjoyable story of an old Parisian named Armand, who relished his solitary life. Children, he said, were like starlings, and one was better off without them.
But the children who lived under the bridge recognized a true friend when they met one, even if the friend seemed a trifle unwilling at the start. And it did not take Armand very long to realize that he had gotten himself ready-made family; one that he loved with all his heart, and one for whom he would have to find a better home than the bridge.
Armand and the children's adventures around Paris -- complete with gypsies and a Santa Claus -- make a story which children will treasure.
