Pena dedicated to honing his skills
Outfielder hoping to improve at the plate, in the field
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Wily Mo Pena may have finally made the breakthrough into the Reds' everyday lineup as their left fielder.
But will Pena finally have the breakout season, too?
He's working on it.
"It's the opportunity I've been waiting for," Pena said. "I just have to do my job in Spring Training the best I can and work hard and everything. Having everyday at-bats will be nice."
Seeing Pena make the most of those at-bats and reaching the potential many have expected, would be even nicer for the Reds.
"The big thing is focus and being mentally locked in every time you go up there," Reds manager Jerry Narron said. "The fewer at-bats [he] just gives away ... the easier it is to become a good hitter."
Regular spots in the outfield opened up for Pena and right fielder Austin Kearns this winter, when the Reds dealt first baseman Sean Casey to the Pirates. Adam Dunn was subsequently shifted from left field to first base. Since first baseman Scott Hatteberg signed earlier this month, there has been speculation that Pena or Kearns could be dealt and Dunn moved back to left field before the season opens. Without directly commenting on the situation, general manager Wayne Krivsky indicated no deals were imminent.
Still just 24 years old, Pena is entering his fifth big league season. The Dominican native was originally signed to a Major League contract as a 17-year-old by the Yankees in 1999. He came to Cincinnati in the 2001 Drew Henson trade. After he debuted as a September callup in 2002, he was out of Minor League options by 2003 and was kept on the Reds' big league roster even though he wasn't ready for the big leagues.
Since then, the 6-foot-3, 245-pound Pena has made observers, "Ooh and ah," with his imposing raw power and some tape-measure home runs. He has made those same people moan and groan, however, with undisciplined plate appearances and way too many strikeouts. He batted .218 in 80 games during his first full season.
Last season, while batting .254 with 19 homers and 51 RBIs in 99 games, Pena struck out 116 times while walking just 20. He belted 26 homers in 2004 but struck out 108 times and walked 22. His career on-base percentage is a low .306.
In the past, some in the organization had taken to comparing Pena to a young Sammy Sosa, who also had brute power but a high amount of strikeouts. Narron and hitting coach Chris Chambliss would prefer to see him emulate another Dominican superstar.
Albert Pujols of the Cardinals.
Pujols is a career .330 hitter and has collected over 40 homers the past three seasons. He also draws many more walks than he has strikeouts. Late last season, Chambliss sat Pena down and had him view game tapes of the All-Star hitter's approach.
"The main reason I showed him that wasn't even about copying Albert or anything," Chambliss said. "It was more the balance part of it. Albert has great balance. His body is not jumping and that means his head is not jumping. When your head is not jumping, you see the ball better."
The hope is that Pena will make better choices and lay off more pitches out of the strike zone. It should translate to more hits, not just more home runs.
"I want to get my average up and everything," Pena said. "I want to be more selective at home plate and more confident."
Chambliss didn't expect Pena to completely eradicate his high-strikeout totals.
"But if he's able to consistently wait on the ball and see it a little longer and have a shorter stroke to the ball, the strikeouts can be cut down without losing his great power," Chambliss said.
The transformation of Pena into an everyday player will also require a commitment to defense. The outfielder's poor fielding skills have been often maligned.
"I think it'll definitely help him to be in one spot and not bouncing around," Narron said. "He'll come to our ballpark every day, he'll know it out there and see the ball come off the bat."
Narron says he has seen Pena's dedication and desire to improve in the field.
"I think he's willing to work," Narron said. "I think anybody that says he's not willing to work hasn't been around him enough. I'm sure at times he would get frustrated and wonder, 'What am I working for?' It's not that he's a lazy guy."
Will all of these efforts yield a more complete ballplayer?
Again, Pena is working on it.
"I just want to do the best I can for me and the team," Pena said. "I work hard all the time. If somebody says something, I don't know why. I do the best I can."

Tim McCarver: Baseball Quotes
I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.
This is thread is correct, though. Most GMs are in the 300k neighborhood, with a few in the $2MM-ish range.
It's a safe bet that Wayne and DanO make/made about a quarter mill a year plus or minus 50k. The fact that neither side has revealed the figure tends to make me think the Red are paying on the low end of that particular spectrum.
Makes all the routine posts.
think about it. There are CEO out there that just make around $150,000 year and there are CEO that make tens of millions per year. If you could get more then you would take more. I bet that John Allen make around 300-500k.

harvey weinstein is threatening to boycott the mpaa. more here and here.The National Association of Theater Owners is now threatening to give all Weinstein Company films an automatic NC-17 rating in future.
kind of ironic: bullies vs bullies over bully :) to be clear, weinstein is threatening to withdraw from the mpaa over the R rating of this film and films not rated by the mpaa are treated as NC-17 by most theaters. the film drew an R rating for language, thus won't be seen by most of its target audience. 75,000 people signed a petition seeking to get this rating overturned
any thoughts on this?
Yes! The MPAA needs to be kicked to the perpetual curb. Any moron who things something as important as this cannot be given special accordance in this case is a fucking moron.
The MPAA will hopefully resent because many, many people are angry about this.
So has there been a ruling on the appeal? Last I heard they were appealing the decision? The article doesn't mention anything about the MPAA making a ruling yet. Harvey won last time he appealed (with Blue Valentine) so I have every reason to believe there is a possibility the MPAA could overturn the R rating.
I have a lot of disdain with Weinstein but he's right on this issue and he's a good guy to have in your corner. Even if the MPAA sticks with the R rating, it could potentially be another win in making the MPAA irrelevant. Searchlight essentially gave them the finger when they released Shame and if the studios do more of this, they might put pressure on the exhibitors to disregard the MPAA (there is no law stating theaters can't screen films that are Not Rated or are rated NC-17. And I believe in the case of Shame, Cinemark was the only chain that refused to show it).
hey this might be fitting for jazz's topic on 'cinema as a force for social good' :)
apparently lost it's appeal already.
Eh, the film was rated R for language, and I'm sure that the Weinstein Company knows the MPAA rule on swearing in films. I believe it is more than two uses of 'fuck' and it's R. They shouldn't get mad that the MPAA is being consistent with their normal procedures just because it's inconvenient for the audience they are trying to reach. If they really cared they would bleep out the 'fucks'. I'm not defending the MPAA at all, just pointing out that The Weinstein Company is just doing this for publicity.
Ok, I just saw in that third article that the MPAA has upheld their intial ruling. So yeah, I think Weinstein should do whatever they need to do.
The idea that NATO will give Weinstein films an NC-17 rating is silly. NATO doesn't have anything to do with ratings. They're not the MPAA. What they're saying is that they'll boycott all Weinstein films and refuse to show them? How petty.
petty indeed. they do realize this is bullying? lol
@r&b- u could be right about that publicity angle. ironically, this will probably make kids want to see the film more
i believe schools could show the film as long as students had permission to watch from their parents in many school systems, if they were set on it?
Though this is an unfortunate film to receive this rating because in most cases kids will see R rated films if they want to. It's ridiculously easy to sneak into a film. However I don't see most kids sneaking into this but rather going with their parents or school. So I do hope this is resolved somehow.
The language "guideline" that the MPAA uses is ridiculous. Extreme violence gets a PG-13 but three fucks in context gets an R? Kirby Dick laid out the ridiculousness of the MPAA years ago so this is not news to anyone. But there needs to be a catalyst to change anything. Hopefully this will be it.
Santino: Oh yes the MPAA guidelines are really ridiculous. I'm just not quite sure of the the Weinstein's motives here.
I don't really care what their motives are. What's is wrong is wrong and this is clearly wrong. This happened two years ago with Blue Valentine and the Weinstein's won. If I'm going to question anyone, I'd question whether the MPAA is just insecure into feeling they're being pushed around the Weinsteins and are using this as an example of who really is in charge.
Like I said, petty petty petty (and not the Tom variety).
I've signed the petition, which may very well reach 150,000.
here's that petition for those who want to sign
R&B said, Eh, the film was rated R for language, and I'm sure that the Weinstein Company knows the MPAA rule on swearing in films. I believe it is more than two uses of 'fuck' and it's R.
I've heard that the MPAA has some strange rules and inconsistent application of them, and this sounds like a pretty good example of that. It makes me wonder about the whole point of the ratings. Doesn't an "R" rating signify that children under 17 can't see the movie, without a parent? If that's true, then that would seem to mean that the MPAA believes that a teenager shouldn't hear two "fucks" in a film? (Or does presence of more than one "fuck" generally indicate other inappropriate language/behavior/scenes, etc. in the film?)
I don't know if I should start another thread, but do people believe there films should be rated? Why or why not?
Here's another question/comment. My understanding is that Weinstein is fighting this ruling because the difference between an R rating and an NC-17 one comes down to money—i.e., less people will see an NC-17 film. Is that right? If the ratings actually affect profits, then that's going to make the whole ratings process very tricky. (I would think some truly indendepent entity would have to do the ratings.)
weinstein wants a PG-13 rating. kids hear these words at school every day, if not at home. no doubt, publicity is a factor. jazz, have u seen this film is not yet rated? it's streaming on netflix. the mpaa is a joke
@ Jazz – Ruby is right. The film got an R rating and Weinstein wants it lowered to PG-13 because if it's rated R, it won't be shown in schools (presumably schools don't show R rated films?) and this is a film that should be shown in schools.
It might have to do with money but they make a very compelling case that it's also about getting the movie seen to the people who need to see it the most.
I haven't seen The Film Is Not Yet Rated, but I've heard bad things about the MPAA. Just to be clear, I'm not defending the organization, as I know very little about it.
Also, I haven't read the articles or know little about the film, so I don't have any position on whether it should be shown in schools or not. But I can say that I do think there are films that have violence, profanity, etc. that would be appropriate for showing at schools. There's a lot of profanity in The Breakfast Club, for example, but I think that would be a great film to be shown and discussed for high school students.
^Jazz – You should watch This Film In Not Yet Rated ASAP. It's a bit dated but it's highly informative and actually pretty funny. Kirby Dick takes a pretty dry subject and makes it relatively entertaining.
I find the ratings system employed b the MPAA ridiculous and archaic and inconsistent. I've seen PG-13 films that had worse content than R rated films….ratings don't influence my decision to see a film one bit….but I do have some friends who get uncomfortable with certain content in a film (one of them can't stomach any rape scenes) so I would still want a way to research the content of a film.
@ Jazz:
Good point about The Breakfast Club. That would be a great film to show in school and like Ruby said above…..schools usually require parents to sign permission slips for the viewing of films at school that may have adult content…..so the parents would still have the ultimate say…..and lord knows that teenagers are watching all kinds of crap…heck…their video games are more unsettling than most of the films our there today.
The ratings are completely arbitrary. Barbershop has six "fucks" and is PG-13.
Shame was NC-17, perhaps validly, due to shots of graphic sex including Anilingus. However, "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" had anilingus and graphic sex. The only difference is that all the sex in "Shame" was consensual. Rape is more appropriate that consenting sex to them. Sounds like a moral authority to me!
I have no problem with the MPAA giving warnings as to the content of the film. If they want to list that a film has violence, graphic sex, nudity, harsh language, that's cool. In fact, making the warnings specific is probably much more effective. But ditch the arbitrary, catch-all "rating". I think just saying the film has this, this, and this is enough for a parent to decide whether they want their kid watching it.
I think a lot of parents do that anyway. "Oh it's rated R? Ok, but why? For what kind of content?"
For what kind of content?
Adult content. Heehee.
I've seen PG-13 films that had worse content than R rated films….
….but I do have some friends who get uncomfortable with certain content in a film (one of them can't stomach any rape scenes) so I would still want a way to research the content of a film.
Here's a genuine question: do we need ratings? I mean, currently you can get a little more details about the ratings (e.g., graphic violence, adult situations, etc.). Suppose took away the ratings and had these short descriptions? The most compelling reason for the ratings (at least off the top of my head) is that they quickly communicate to people making decisions about seeing a film. But I don't if this is such a strong reason for keeping ratings. If you're unsure about a film, you're probably going to read a bit about the film anyway. On the other hand, the ratings do almost instantly give you a ballpark idea of the nature of the film. I don't know, what do others thing about this?
(Oh, I just read Santino's post, and he basically touched on similar issues—but I'm just going to leave this since I already typed it out. ;)
Re: The Breakfast Club
Most high school kids wouldn't be shocked by the language, so there's no harm at all, imo. Plus, if could lead to some really good discussions.
Well the problem with ratings is not the idea of rating so much as this is an institutionalized monopoly that is used to dictate what gets shown where. We would be much better off if the MPAA disbanded. Anybody who wanted to offer up guidance or their own "ratings" could do so and post it on the internet for free. Distributing information doesn't cost anything anymore, so the MPAA is an ugly relic. Without it, theaters, schools, and whoever else, could make up their own minds about what to screen and parents with concerns could easily find out about the content and (try) to keep their kids away from it.
I do think it is very weird that anybody thinks you can "protect" kids from language they consider normal and use all the time.
Reminds me of the flap over Larry Clark's Kids some years ago, which depicted alcohol, drugs, sex and the spread of AIDS at the junior high school level. Most parents, it seems, wanted to turn a blind eye to it. This film got served up with an NC-17 rating. It is explicit, but I thought necessarily so. Seems to me many parents and a lot of politicians simply choose to ignore these such issues. However, the controversy over Bully should draw more attention to bullying, which is a major problem that needs to be more fully addressed.
Here's my suggestion to the Weinstiens if they want their film shown in schools, but can't seem to avoid that R from the MPAA.
Release the film theatrically with the R or unrated. With a movie like this it won't matter that much. Then, when you release it on video, provide public schools with an alternate version that bleeps out any offended words. If they are so concerned for the public good, then they can find a way to circumnavigate the rating.
Hell, if you really don't want that R, and your movie is only crossing the line by one "fuck", then why not just bleep the word? Will that bleep really destroy the integrity of the movie?
Look, I know people don't like the MPAA. They're inconsistent in their rulings and irrelevant to the type of filmgoer that populates these forums (myself included). But, there are a lot of people who use the MPAA ratings as an arbitrary guideline for deciding what they will and won't watch (or what their children will watch). As silly as that may be in some cases, it is a reality that you can't avoid. So, at the end of the day, there will always be a ratings system, whether it's done through the MPAA or some other organization. And simply for the virtue of being run by human beings, the system will always look flawed to those who have no use for it. And both distributors and exhibitors, wanting to figure out how they will profit from their screenings, will always use that ratings system as a guide.
Anybody who wanted to offer up guidance or their own "ratings" could do so and post it on the internet for free. Distributing information doesn't cost anything anymore, so the MPAA is an ugly relic. Without it, theaters, schools, and whoever else, could make up their own minds about what to screen and parents with concerns could easily find out about the content and (try) to keep their kids away from it.
What Downbylaw is saying would ideally true, but it underestimates the felt need for a collective ratings system that can be followed by everyone. The MPAA standard, even if it is inconsistent, is at least the same across the board for all people. One ratings = one standard. And though I don't think the MPAA accurately rates content very often, they do settle the confusion and work for parents, teachers, boards, etc. who, without the MPAA, would have to sit through every movie that they might want to potentially screen so that they can come to terms with whether or not it should be shown. What I'm saying ought to be evident in the fact that there are actually plenty of other guidelines that one can follow from independent internet sources. And yet, the MPAA remains a force. Having the one standard puts everyone – studio, exhibitor, and audience – on the same page, and for most people that's a reassuring thing.
Anybody who hasn't watched This Film Is Not Yet Rated should do it NOW. That film tells you all you need to know about the MPAA (you can find it on youtube). I actually think a rating system is necessary but it has to be transparent and consistent and the people in charge of the ratings should be either elected officials or media/psychology experts, not producers and members of the clergy…
What gets me is NATO threatening to slap the NC-17 rating on Weinstein films. This is just pathetic, and shows that these mainstream movie houses have become increasingly conservative, much like television, radio, and newspapers are controlled by conservative syndicates like Fox, Gannett and other powerful media syndicates. For years conservatives have been lashing out at the "liberal media" and here they are now fully in control of much of what Americans read and watch in the way of news and entertainment.

The MPAA is almost as secretive as Opus Dei.

Already, attempts are being made to incorporate the tubercle design into commercial products. Fish is president of a venture based in Toronto, Ontario, called WhalePower, which has begun demonstrating the advantages of tubercles when they're integrated into the leading edges of wind-turbine and fan blades.
Prototypes of wind-turbine blades (see image below) have shown that the delayed stall doubles the performance of the turbines at wind speeds of about 17 miles per hour and allows the turbine to capture more energy out of lower-speed winds. For example, the turbines generate the same amount of power at 10 miles per hour that conventional turbines generate at 17 miles per hour. The tubercles effectively channel the air flow across the blades and create swirling vortices that enhance lift.
Stephen Dewar, director of research and development at WhalePower, says that ongoing tests at the Wind Energy Institute of Canada, in the province of Prince Edward Island, have shown the tubercle-lined blades to be more stable, quiet, and durable than conventional blades. "The turbine has survived being hit by the edge of a hurricane, and it survived wind-driven snow and ice," he says.
WhalePower has also shown in demonstrations that tubercle-lined blades on industrial ceiling fans can operate 20 percent more efficiently than conventional blades can, and they do a better job at circulating air flow in a building. The results were dramatic enough to convince Canada's largest maker of ventilation fans to license the design, which will appear in a new line of products scheduled for release at the end of April.
"This licensing agreement with the fan company is great," says Fish. "It basically shows one of the many potential applications for this technology. The union of biology and engineering through biomimetics will make future innovations possible."
The Harvard study reaches the same conclusion. "It is possible that the lessons learned from humpback-whale flippers will soon find their way into the design of special-purpose wings, hydrofoils, as well as wind turbine and helicopter blades."

NBA Pick: Houston Rockets @ Chicago Bulls Preview
- Updated: April 2, 2012
The Chicago Bulls and the Houston Rockets are going to duke it out on Monday night in NBA betting action in the Windy City.
The Rockets are still in the midst of a fight for the playoffs in the Western Conference. They are having a solid year, sitting three-games above .500, but they have to be considered one of the favorites to miss out on the postseason with so many teams playing so well in the conference. Kevin Martin and Kyle Lowry are both still out of the lineup, and this starting five of Chandler Parsons, Luis Scola, Marcus Camby, Courtney Lee, and Goran Dragic just doesn't feel like it is going to be able to get the job done when push comes to shove. This is a nice matchup in terms of size for Houston though, as it is one of the few teams that can probably board with the Bulls when push comes to shove, especially if Camby is able to stay out of foul trouble. Houston has alternated wins and losses for the last six games, and if that trend keeps up in this one, it is in line for the upset, coming off of a 104-102 loss to the Indiana Pacers from Sunday.
Richard Hamilton was announced to be back in the lineup a few days ago, but we are still waiting his return for the Bulls. He has been dealing with a ton of injuries this year, and those injuries are going to probably keep him out of the fold in this one as well. Derrick Rose is likely to miss an 11th straight game with a groin injury, but as we have seen all year long with his various ailments, as long as the Bulls keep winning, there is going to be no rush to put their star back on the court before the playoffs, especially with this condensed schedule. Chicago is going to be eager to get back on the court in this one after getting rocked by the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday on the road. The team isn't the most offensive minded in the world, but the 78 points scored against the Thunder was inexcusable, and we know that Head Coach Tom Thibodeau is going to be spending a lot of time today talking to his team about how to get back to better offensive numbers in this one against the Rockets.

The Final Word: In the end, this is a lot of points to be giving the Rockets. We think that they are as suited to take down the Bulls as most other teams, as they have a lot of size to deal with the bigs. We would feel a heck of a lot better if Martin and Lowry were in the fold, but in the end, we think that Houston has enough to stick inside of a touchdown in this game.
Houston Rockets @ Chicago Bulls Free Pick: Houston Rockets +8.5

Well, I'm due in mid December; so with the upcoming Holidays and my full time schedule as a college student, we decided to have my showers in October. My family is kicking off the shower brigade with a family/extended family sports themed tailgating barbeque shower. I'm having a boy and its Saints football time in our area and we want something that the mail members of our family (including my dad and father of baby) can be involved in. My friends from high school are also throwing one for me sometime in Oct. too and my boyfriends family/local college friends are having one that month also. HAving them in October gives us enough time to see what we got from the showers and evaluate what we still need. It is also before black Friday (nov.)-and we could get alot of things on sale that we need then and its still two months from Christmas; which helps family in friends not to be burdened to close to the holidays. Hope this helps:)posted 08/11/2011 by kwestbaby1

Set in the heart of the countryside but within easy distance of the small town of Apecchio, Casa Giacomo is the ideal place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the green wooded hills and majestic mountains. The house itself is thought to have been built by Benedictine monks from the nearby abbey at Scalocchio and was certainly intended to stand the test of time. It was built entirely from local sandstone and inside has spacious rooms with grand fireplaces and thick stone walls, that take you back in time.
Surrounded by a 60 hectare organic farm managed by the owner means that local organic produce is always available.
To taste the local delights you need look no further than the family run restaurant on the site in the converted barn.
And immediately surrounding the property is a large garden furnished with garden chairs, tables and benches, and complete with a superbly positioned swimming pool.

The Marche region
Even today Marche remains a largely undiscovered gem in the heart of Italy, sandwiched between the stunning Apennine mountains on its western fringes and the beautiful Adriatic coast to the east.
Perhaps because Marche has historically been an isolated region, sheltered as it is from intrusion by its natural mountain borders to the north, south and west and by the Adriatic Sea, it is only slowly gaining rightful recognition.
The region gets comparatively little mention in the travel media, deferring to the wider fame of neighbouring Tuscany and Umbria. Yet it can justifiably claim to be Italy's very own Garden of Eden.
It boasts lush greenery (often a surprise to visitors) and an enchanting mixture of sunflower fields, abundant woodland, many rivers which wind their way down to a beautiful coastline, and stunning mountain scenery.
Bordering both Umbria and Tuscany, as well as Abruzzo, Lazio and Emilia-Romagna, the region has an identity all of its own.
Walkers, trekkers and nature lovers can also find their feet here, with regional and national parks offering an abundance of outdoor activities, including trekking, mountain biking, paragliding, nature trails, hunting and fishing and ski-ing.
Marche has two national parks, the Monti Sibillini National Park and the Gran Sasso Monti Della Laga National Park.
The Monti Sibillini National Park actively promotes and protects wildlife habitats and has played a key role in building a stable population of wolves and other creatures such as the golden eagle. Wild boar abound and with the help of active re-introduction programmes there are also now signs of the return of the Marsicana brown bear from its stronghold in neighbouring Abruzzo. There are even signs of the return of the secretive and shy lynx.
Rising 572m from the sea near Ancona, Monte Conero is one of Marche's best known landmarks. It is home to a regional park and is an excellent place to see birds such as the marsh harrier and long-legged buzzard, while its coastal waters offer beautiful coved beaches and are ideal for organised boat trips.
The other regional park by the sea is the Colle San Bartolo Regional Park near Gabicce, home to wetlands of national importance.
A myriad of fascinating caves form the central attraction of the inland park, Gola della Rossa Frasassi Regional Park, recognised as the most interesting limestone caves in Italy. Special tours lead you through a series of caves complete with small lakes, stalactites, huge stalagmites and onto the truly cavernous Abisso Ancona, a cave from ground to ceiling fully 240m high.
The local town of Apecchio 3.5km away is home to a fossil museum and the town centre is defined by the impressive Palazzo Ubaldini and other historical buildings, seemingly untouched by the passing of time. The town is also known for its mineral springs and is popular with tourists in the summer months.
Even closer to Casa Giacomo is Il Guiso restaurant, an easy stroll away at 1km and well worth a visit especially as guests of Casa Giacomo can expect a very warm welcome and perhaps even a discount.
The famous university Renaissance town of Urbino is within half an hour's drive and offers fine museums and architecture, including the famous Palazzo Ducale which houses one of Marche's most outstanding art collections.
The local area is ideal for trekking and mountain biking and the fresh waters of the Biscubio River offer the possibility of fishing.
With the help of his trained dogs, the owner of Casa Giacomo also offers guided excursions in search of prized white truffles, as well as mushrooms and wild berries.
Private Italian lessons for individuals or groups can be arranged at Casa Giacomo and a free cookery course is on offer each week.
For the intrepid it is also possible to employ expert guides and explore the underground caves of nearby Monte Nerone, complete with underground lakes. And in the winter ski-ing is popular, weather permitting.

District judge retires after 23 years
Towery steps down
District Judge Roger Towery served the 97th Judicial District for 23 years, and upon retirement, he says that is "more than a generation, it's long enough."
Towery concluded his career as an elected official at the end of his fifth full term. The judge, 68, said he decided he wanted "some choice in my life," where he was not dictated by work of the court. He and wife Ann moved to Nocona from Henrietta this past year and recently completed a new home near the golf course.
Looking back on his career, the judge says his choice of the law and the ensuing career were never planned, but were opportunities.
Born in Kentucky, the Towerys moved around a lot because his father was an Air Force pilot. First grade was in Austin, junior high in Seguin and high school in Burkburnett, followed by college at Midwestern State University.
Towery also spent time on active duty with the Naval Reserve as a radio man in Southeast Asia during 1968, before returning home to finish college. He recalled wanting to be a pilot, but his eyesight was not good enough. Considering several "fallback plans," he eventually chose law school.
"I really have no idea what drew me to it. Like being a judge, I had no lifelong ambition for that. It was an opportunity that came at the right time in my life," he said.
Towery laughingly said he liked being a lawyer much better than law school and he liked being a judge more than practicing law because he had more control over his life without having clients and judges pulling at him at the same time.
After graduating from the University of Texas Law School in 1973, Towery went to work for the Wichita County District Attorney's Office. In 1977, he moved to Henrietta to set up private practice. During this time he also prosecuted felonies on a contract basis before the district attorney position was created.
In January 1990, Towery became 97th District Judge, appointed by Gov. Bill Clements. Those interested had to apply for the post, which Towery did. He had previously been asked by people to run, but he had declined.
"Back then it was a Republican governor. No one who applied was willing to run as a Republican. Then you had to be a Democrat to get elected in the district," recalls Towery.
In March 1990, he faced two opponents in the primary, followed by a runoff in April when he won the unexpired term. He won his first full four-year term in 1992, unchallenged and has run unopposed ever since.
As the new judge took to the bench in 1990, he recalls being "scared as anything starting out."
"I don't know anyone who feels they are prepared to be a judge. As a lawyer you are advocating a side or doing non-litigation work. As a judge, you listen to both sides and make a decision on the law and evidence. As a judge you don't have a dog in the hunt," Towery said.
Towery says the most challenging thing for a judge is to remember how important each case is to the respective parties.
"While it may be the 10th divorce you have heard that day, it is the only divorce for the two people, so it is extremely important to them. It also is important to any children involved," he said.
In the past few months, Towery has been assisting his longtime friend and colleague, Jack McGaughey, in preparations to take over the bench as district judge. He laughs and says "he is a step up, because they have gotten someone who is smarter than I am. His ethics and integrity are above reproach, and he will probably hold his temper better than I have in the past. The district is very lucky."
As for retirement, Towery won't be idle for long as he has already submitted his paperwork to serve as a visiting judge. He anticipates presiding in cases where McGaughey may have a conflict, which will be an issue for a time.

It was a good and bad day for immigration overhaul. On the good side, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office Tuesday singlehandedly undercut fiscal objections from conservatives by reporting in its analysis of the "Gang of 8" Senate bill that reform would cut the national deficit and improve the U.S. economy.
But on the political side of the equation, a big blow to comprehensive immigration overhaul came from the very top of Capitol Hill. House Speaker John Boehner said he wouldn't bring a bill to the floor for a vote without a majority of Republican votes behind it.
"Any immigration reform bill that is going to go into law ought to have a majority of both parties' support if we're really serious about making that happen," the Ohio Republican said. "And, so, I don't see any way of bringing an immigration bill to the floor that doesn't have a majority support of Republicans."
Boehner: No Immigration Bill Without GOP Majority
Ouch! So is that the end of seven months work in the House and Senate to fix a broken system that robs the U.S. Treasury of tax dollars while forcing an estimated 11 million undocumented people to live in the shadows?
Advocates are not panicking and here is why. November may have faded from the minds of some conservative GOPers, but the national party knows that in order to be viable, it cannot be on the wrong side of immigration again and expect to win the presidency or even majorities in the House and Senate again.
That is why just a week ago, on "Good Morning America," the speaker of the House had a different story to tell George Stephanopolous. When asked "if that means putting on the floor a bill that will get more Democrats than Republicans":
BOEHNER: I don't believe that will be the case.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But you're open to it?
BOEHNER: We're going to let the House work its will.
The speaker went on to say that he expected a bill the president could sign to be passed by the end of the year.
Senate Rejects Double-Layer Border Fence Plan
That unleashed a conservative firestorm.
"I would consider that a betrayal of the Republican members of the House and a betrayal of the Republicans throughout the country," Rep. Dana Rohrabacher. R-Calif., said on World Net Daily radio Tuesday. "If Boehner moves forward ... and permits this to come to a vote even though the majority of Republicans in the House -- and that's if they do --oppose what's coming to a vote, he should be removed as speaker."
Then the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee passed a bill declaring any undocumented person in the United States a criminal, further isolating the GOP from Latinos.
But there is a way out for Boehner, a way to save his party from the fringes and it was outlined in an odd place, not by a liberal Democrat but by a leading tea partier herself on a conservative radio program.

This is a great tutorial. Thank you so much! I am going to practice with a couple of squares before I use it on a project, but I think it's awesome!
Thanks for the tutorial. Can you use one of the working yarns to do the stitching?
this was very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you so much for such wonderful instructions. I already used your technique for casting on and now that the knitting is complete, I'm off to try this stitch.
excellent! The first time it actually made sense, even after watching many other explanations of the kitchener stitch. Thank you!
Thanks for the really clear video. I'm using it on the Vite Cowl (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/vite-cowl). For purl stitches do we just reverse the stitches (stitch knitwise where the directions say to stitch purlwise, and vice versa)?
Thank you for this video tutorial! I just successfully used the kitchener stitch to finish a project (that is going to be a gift) by following this video. Thank you so much!

Unser said the secret to his success was his determination to be the best race car driver.
"I knew that for sure," he said. "I didn't know how I was going to get where I wanted to go, but something kept telling me to keep going forward."
Meeting some influential people helped Unser, too. He got his break at the Indianapolis 500 through Parnelli Jones, whom he met at the Pike's Peak climb in the early 1960s.
"He thought I was good enough [for Indy]," said Unser. "I didn't think I was good enough, but I gave it a shot."
Away from the track, Unser worked with several automakers including Ford and General Motors on designing engines for race cars, as well as everyday cars. Unser's "Toronado" engine was used in Oldsmobiles. He also designed tires for Goodyear that were used on both race cars and regular vehicles.
"I can design pretty much anything you see here [in the museum], and I'm all self-taught," said Unser. "I learned a long time ago that if you hang around really, really smart people, you can learn a little something from each of them."
That concept played into the Sam's Garage project. With help from the Adirondack A's Club " a group dedicated to the restoration of Ford Model "A" cars " the 14 area students learned the ins and outs of building a car. One of the few things they didn't get to do was apply the varnish to the Huckster's wooden body.
"It was tough, but it was a fun challenge because we got to learn a lot from our instructors," said Corinth High School student Laura Earls, the lone girl on the Sam's Garage team. "It was a relief, and we felt great that we accomplished such a big task [when the car was finished in May]."

Featured film presentation will be The International Fly Fishing Film Festival (IF4), 13 short and feature length films – about two hours – produced by professional and amateur filmmakers from all corners of the globe, showcasing the passion, lifestyle and culture of fly-fishing.
Fly-fishing film topics scheduled range from steelhead in Northern British Columbia to chasing multiple species in Costa Rica. Many of the best fly-tiers in California will conduct hands-on workshops demonstrating productive Eastern Sierra patterns. Among the vendors will be fly-fishing shops expected to have end-of-the-year specials on close-out 2012 merchandise.
There will also be various other product give-aways from event sponsors and exhibitors.
