Author Biography:
Ask Avi how you know when you're a real writer and his answer is simple: "I think you become a writer when you stop writing for yourself or your teachers and start thinking about readers." Avi made up his mind to do that when he was just a senior in high school.
Avi was born in 1937 in New York City and was raised in Brooklyn. Kids often ask him about his name. "My twin sister gave it to me when we were both about a year old. And it stuck." To this day, Avi is the only name the author uses.
As a kid, Avi says, he was "shy, not into sports, but someone who loved to read and play games of imagination." He did not consider himself a good student, though. "In elementary school I did well in science, but I was a poor writer. When I got to high school I failed all my courses. Then my folks put me in a small school that emphasized reading and writing." What made him want to become a writer? "Since writing was important to my family, friends and school, it was important to me. I wanted to prove that I could write. But it took years before I had a book published."
Avi didn't start off as an author of children's books but as a playwright. It was only when he had children of his own thathe started to write for young people.
When asked if writing is hard for him, Avi gives an unequivocal YES. "But," he goes on, "it's hard for everyone to write well. I have to rewrite over and over again, so on average it takes me a year to write a book." Where does he get his ideas? "Everybody has ideas. The vital question is: What do you do with them? My wife, a college teacher, uses her ideas to understand literature. My rock musician sons shape their ideas in to music. I take my ideas and turn them into stories."
Avi's advice for people who want to write: "I believe reading is the key to writing. the more you read, the better your writing can be." He adds, "Listen, and watch the world around you. Don't be satisfied with answers others give you. Don't assume that because everyone believes a thing, that it is right or wrong. Reason things out for yourself. Work to get answers on your own. Understand why you believe things. Finally, write what you honestly feel, then learn from the criticism that will always come your way."Avi's many award-winning books for young readers include the Newbery Honor Books Nothing But the Truth and The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, as well as more Tales from Dimwood Forest, including Poppy, winner of the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award, Poppy and Rye, and Ragweed. His many other books include tales of mystery, fantasy, and historical fiction for young readers of all ages.In His Own Words...
When I was small, I was read to continually. My grandparents were always telling stories. Our house was filled with books. I saw adults read. Hardly a wonder, then, that I becane a early reader of all sorts of things books for childern, comic books, science magazines, history books anything in which I could fing a story. There was kids' radio too, which I adored. Even so, writing didn't interest me.
It was in my junior year of high school that a great crisis took place: My English teacher informed my parents that I was the worst student he ever had. That summer I was required to spend a lot os time with a family friend, a teacher, who tutored me in writing basics. She gave me something even more important: a reason for writing.
Writing, she taught me, was not just for myself or for some teacher. It was a way of sharing ideas and stories with many. With that notion in mind, I set out after that summer to be a writer, though it wasn't until I had childern of my own that I began to write for young people.
I believe that as a writer for kids, I have three basic options. The first is to write as well as I can. The second is to be honest. The third is to create a vision of possibility. It doesn't matter if that vision is happy or tragic, funny or serious. What does matter is that I show that life is worth living, that we must at least try to fulfill the promise of ourselves. As one of my characters once said, "A good childern's book of promises. And promises are ment to be kept."
I really enjoy meeting my readers. Each year I visit schools and classrooms, and talk to young readers, teachers, and librarians all over the country. We talk about books, the writing and reading of them, how books affect even change their readers. It's a good life.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Your father has met with an accident." Schoolmaster Dortmeister, his wife by his side, spoke gravely to me in the best parlor of their house in Portland, where I was boarding at school. The only other time I had seen that room was when my father had left me there, seven months before. That was also the last time I had seen Father.
Mrs. Dortmeister put the back of her small hand to my cheek and said, "Benjamin, I understand it's not so very bad."
"But you're needed at home," the schoolmaster said. "Your sister has come to take you.
Father had brought me to Portland for Mother's sake. To soothe my upset over leaving our farm, he told two tales for every mile the mule trod on the journey. He recited his best jokes, too taking on voices, making sounds and gesturing as if he had ten tongues and fifteen hands. We were so full of our usual private mischief that I was much comforted. He promised to fetch me for a holiday in four months' time. He never came.
So of course I wanted to rush off and find Nettle; yet I would not leave the parlor without permission.- They were fair in that place but strict.
"Benjamin," the schoolmaster went on, "you are the finest student I have ever had." He always called me Benjamin, though I preferred what my father called me: Ben. But that name, Ben, Mr. Dortmeister told me, was not dignified. He said I must put it aside since as far as he was concerned I was destined for higher things. "You may be only nine years old, but you're fit for more than farming. You
know your letters, sums, and geometry better and are wiser than all the rest ofmy students combined."
Mr. Dortmeister had round gray eyes and a nose too big for his face. Tufts of hair grew out of his ears. I had always thought him comical. But when I looked up at him that time, in his best parlor, I thought he seemed about to cry.
As for me, my head was crowded with worry about Father and thoughts of Nettie, who was outside, waiting impatiently, no doubt. At the best of times, Nettie was not a patient soul. Nothing happened fast enough for her.
Mrs. Dortmeister said, "Your sister suggests that you'll be home only a short time. So we shall look for your early return."
I replied, "I am sure I'll return," though I said it mostly because I thought that's what the schoolmaster wanted to hear.
"Do," he said. "You'll always be welcome."
I made a move to go, but Mr. Dortmeister held me by speaking again. "Benjamin,"he said, "you must tell your father that I agree with him, that your gift of learning is particular fine. He will know then how truly sorry I am to lose you."
I said, "I'll tell him, sir."
"Wish your father a sound recovery. I'll retain the school fees against your return."
"Yes, sir," I said, and once again made a motion to leave.
Still, he would not release me. "Benjamin," he said, "we want to pray with you now." He and his wife bowed their heads. So I did the same.
"Our Father," the schoolmaster began, "who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
"Amen," he ended, as did his wife.
"Amen," I echoed.
Then he sighed. "Very well, Benjamin. Your sister is waiting. We bid you farewell." Young as I was, he shook my hand, and we parted like two refined gentlemen. At last I turned and dashed away.
I found Nettle pacing up and down by our wagon. She was tall and thin with hairblack as night and a sweet face that never" could hide thoughts. The moment I saw her peering out from her poke bonnet, I knew Father's situation worse than I'd been told.

Time Warner Interested in Purchasing the Longhorn Network from ESPN?
Over the course of time, we've written plenty on ESPN's Texas Longhorns-focused 24-hour network, the Longhorn Network, which we not-so-affectionately have dubbed the FailHorn Network, due to the media giant's inability to get wide-scale distribution for it's programming from major cable carriers.
ESPN is reportedly growing more frustrated with the resistance they have received from cable companies not only in Central Texas, but around the country, and it has been rumored another media giant, Time Warner, is interested in acquiring the network from ESPN– or, at a minimum, partnering with them to share some of the cost burden.
ESPN and the University of Texas are tied into a 20-year, $300 million rights deal, which pays Texas $15 million a year in broadcasting rights. Given the relatively small market share which ESPN has been able to acquire– the network is only shown on a few regional CenTex carriers like Grande Communications, and to some Verizon customers outside of the Austin-area– the venture has been far from profitable for one of the two parties involved.
Time Warner and ESPN have not confirmed any negotiations have taken place between them in regards to the Longhorn Network, but given Time Warner's aggressive new stance towards sports media with the coming addition of several new regional networks, it's not out of the realm of possibility.
If the new business model at Time Warner is to capitalize on regional coverage, adding even a piece of the Longhorn Network, could be a boon, because the Longhorns are far from a regional team. With a national fan and alumni base, Time Warner could get plenty of new sets of eyeballs, and that's what the broadcasting game is all about.
Expect there to be plenty of noise about this in coming months as ESPN continues to fail to deliver on the promise of a wide broadcasting base, Texas fans get louder about wanting access to their team, and important folks get increasingly anxious around the Forty Acres.

Kvichak Marine Industries, Inc. of Seattle, Wash., recently delivered the P/V Bering, a 50' x 15.5' pilot vessel to the Southwest Alaska Pilots Association (SWAPA). Bering will operate in the coastal areas of South Central Alaska.
After acceptance of the Bering, the SWAPA crew and a Kvichak technician departed Seattle and began transiting north to Valdez, Alaska.
The Bering's delivery encompassed 1350 nautical miles averaging 25 knots over five days (53.9 hours run time on the engines). Weather conditions were generally favorable, however Johnstone Strait in B.C. provided a good test for the handling and sea keeping characteristics of the Bering. Port calls during the five-day run were made in Port McNeil and Prince Rupert, B.C. and Hoonah and Yakutat, Alaska. Additional stops for fuel were made in Nanaimo and Klemtu, B.C. and Ketchikan and Petersburg, Alaska. The crew pulled into the pilot station at Rocky Point in Prince William Sound before proceeding on to their homeport in Valdez.
Designed by Kvichak Marine, the all-aluminum vessel is powered by twin CAT C18 ACERT tier II engines rated for 715 BHP coupled to Twin Disc MGX-5145SC marine gears. Hamilton 364 waterjets are the chosen propulsors. This combination allows for excellent maneuverability and a top speed of approximately 36 knots, the company said. The vessel has a Wing Hybrid fendering system.

The Mountain Hawk wrestlers, who had an up and down weekend, can earn a gigantic win in their next dual because they go to Iowa to face the 5th ranked Hawkeyes and several top ranked guys on the Iowa roster that includes a defending national champion. After a loss to Penn over the weekend, the young Mountain Hawk roster will certainly be amped up for the challenge come Thursday. The question is can they wrestle at a high enough level to beat a team like Iowa, especially in Iowa where the Hawkeyes have built one of the nation's best programs.

The Associated Press
BEIJING — China's leadership is hitting a rough patch with ally North Korea under its new leader Kim Jong Un, as Beijing finds itself wrong-footed in episodes including Pyongyang's rocket launch and the murky detention of Chinese fishing boats.
The testy state of China-North Korea affairs became public this week after Chinese media flashed images of the fishing crews, some of the 28 crew members stripped to their longjohns, returning home after 13 days in North Korean custody accused of illegal fishing. The reports quoted the fishermen as saying they were beaten and starved, and the coverage unleashed furious criticism in China's blogosphere.
"The North Koreans are like bandits and robbers," China's Southern Metropolis Weekly newspaper quoted one fisherman as saying Tuesday. The story, shared thousands of times on China's Sina Weibo social media website, said the hijackers ripped down the Chinese flag on one boat and used it "like a rag."
While much remains unclear about the event — including whether the fishing boats were poaching in North Korean waters — to some Chinese observers it seemed like a slap on the face from Kim Jong Un, who took power after his father died in December.
"The context of what is happening now between China and North Korea is this: Since Kim Jong Il died, the Kim Jong Un regime has been unfriendly to China," said Shi Yinhong, an international relations expert at Renmin University in Beijing.
But even to the skeptics, the recent discord is unlikely to rupture an alliance that the countries' communist leaders like to say was "sealed in blood" in the Korean War. "They can weather it," said John Delury of Yonsei University's Graduate School of International Studies in South Korea.
Pyongyang remains heavily reliant on Beijing for diplomatic protection in the United Nations and for much of the country's food, trade and oil. Chinese leaders worry that without the Kims in power, a North Korean meltdown would send a destabilizing wave of refugees into China and give U.S. troops stationed in South Korea an opportunity to move closer to the Chinese border.
But in part because of its steadfast support, Beijing finds the lack of regard from Pyongyang all the more irritating. Relations between the sides are "very strained at the moment," said Stephanie Kleine-Ahlbrandt, a Beijing-based analyst with the International Crisis Group think tank.
The strains come as Beijing would like to coax the young Kim into launching bolder economic reforms to lessen North Korea's reliance on hand-outs and into easing regional tensions so as not to drive the U.S., South Korea and Japan into closer alliance.
The fishing fleet episode comes amid other diplomatic frictions.
Shi, the Chinese analyst, said Pyongyang failed to give Beijing a heads-up about a deal concluded with Washington in February for American food aid in return for concessions on North Korean missile and nuclear programs.
Pyongyang compounded the affront by testing a rocket that stoked regional tensions and drew strenuous Chinese objections. China called in the North Korean ambassador to Beijing and urged Pyongyang publicly to desist, to no avail. Pyongyang did not give Beijing advance notification of the launch last month, said Shi and others.
"They did not inform China in advance. The Chinese government is indignant," Shi said.
The United States and other critics called the rocket launch a cover for a test of missile technology, and the U.N. Security Council — with China's backing — strongly condemned the launch. North Korea said the rocket, which broke into pieces over the Yellow Sea shortly after liftoff, was meant to send an observational satellite into orbit.
Beijing rarely rebukes Pyongyang in public. Both governments prefer to keep their dealings out of public view, making it always difficult to assess the tenor of ties. Still, the perceived slights from Pyongyang contrast with Beijing's full-bodied embrace of Kim Jong Un. Within hours of Kim Jong Il's death, Chinese President Hu Jintao and other top leaders expressed support for the younger Kim's succession, and they have invited him to visit China.
Analysts said that there has been a marked fall-off in high-level diplomatic visits to North Korea by Chinese officials, but that could be attributed to North Korea's mourning period for Kim and a preoccupation with internal transition politics.
"Communication channels have never been broken between the two sides," said Shi Yuanhua, Director of Center for Korean Studies of Fudan University in Shanghai.
Some among China's North Korea watchers have criticized Beijing's seemingly unconditional support for North Korea as part of the problem. With little at risk, their thinking goes, Pyongyang is encouraged to engage in high-stakes policies.
South Korean intelligence reports and satellite imagery have shown new tunnel-digging at a North Korean nuclear test site in possible preparation for testing a nuclear device, its third in six years. If Pyongyang goes ahead, the test is likely to leave Beijing feeling further ignored, but without other repurcussions.
"Although Beijing would probably prefer North Korea not to conduct another rocket or nuclear test, it would not really alter the fundamental strategic calculus from the Chinese government's perspective," said Delury.

Mercurial fullback Willie le Roux had a hand in four of South Africa's five tries as they outmuscled Wales 38-16 in the first test at King's Park on Saturday (local time).
Le Roux's electric display set alight a contest that was otherwise strewn with set-piece and handling errors.
He scored one excellent individual try and created two others for wing Bryan Habana. Cornall Hendricks and Duane Vermeulen also crossed the line for the hosts.
Wales offered little in the opposing 22 until the final 15 minutes and were made to pay for a timid first half display.
Their only try came following a break in his own half by wing Alex Cuthbert. Dan Biggar landed two drop goals and a penalty for the visitors.
The home side scored 21 points in as many minutes as they dominated the opening quarter using the width of the pitch to expose frail defending from the Welsh.
Their first touchdown was finished by Habana but came after a penetrating break from Le Roux and a kick from the fullback that was chased down by the wing just before the dead-ball line.
Wales were not helped by a yellow card received by centre Jamie Roberts after 12 minutes.
South Africa's second try had a little less finesse as number eight Vermeulen barged his way over from a few metres out.
Habana extended his national record for test tries to 55 when he got his second of the game and again it was Le Roux who was the creator, his break through the Welsh line and perfectly timed pass allowing the wing to dive over in the corner.
South Africa were dominating all facets of play by now and might have had more points but for some sloppy handling.
Their dominance in the pack saw Welsh prop Adam Jones, playing in his 100th international, replaced just past the half-hour mark by Samson Lee.
Le Roux capped his evening with a brilliant individual effort for the fourth try before halftime, collecting his own chip behind the defence and diving over in front of the goal posts.
And still he had more to give. His straight running and well-timed pass allowed Hendricks a debut try and provided a fifth conversion for Morne Steyn who put in a faultless kicking display.
Wales had precious few scoring opportunities and when they did cross the line with 20 minutes to go, debutant Gareth Davies's score was disallowed under review for a forward pass by Biggar in the build-up.
Cuthbert added some cheer for Wales with a fine breakaway try from his own 22, outsprinting the retreating defence with ease and offering a mesmerising sidestep that flummoxed Le Roux.
Coach Heyneke Meyer hailed Le Roux as the best in the world after a match-winning display.
"Willie is probably the best fullback in the world at the moment," Meyer told a news conference. "He is playing with a lot of confidence and has a licence to express himself.
"I am very happy about his progress. I challenged him to improve his aerial skills and defence last season and he did that very well."
Meyer was also pleased with South Africa's attacking display and commitment especially after what he termed the toughest week in his tenure in the lead-up to the game following injuries and the withdrawal of Frans Steyn for personal reasons.
"I will take five tries to one any time, anywhere in the world," he said. "Last week we scored six against a World XV and now five against one of the top defensive teams around.
"It was a tough week with a lot of disruptions. I asked the guys to put their bodies on the line today as it was important for us to start well.
"I am very pleased with their response and effort especially in the first half. I am very proud to be coach of this team."
Wales counterpart Warren Gatland was less than satisfied with his side.
"They won the collisions in the first half but the boys got to grips with the speed of the game in the second," Gatland said.
"Some of the guys who came off the bench did very well and (flyhalf) Dan Biggar had a good game. We have to work hard on the breakdown this week and we need to be more competitive in the collision area.
"It's a big challenge to get the boys back up but if we can improve it will make things a lot easier for us."
The second and final test is in Nelspruit next Saturday (Sunday NZ time).
South Africa 38 (Bryan Habana 2, Duane Vermeulen, Willie le Roux, Cornal Hendricks tries; Morne Steyn 5 con, pen) Wales 16 (Alex Cuthbert try; James Hook con; Dan Biggar pen, 2 drop-goal). HT:28-9

KUALA LUMPUR: Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) are just one point away from lifting their maiden MHF-Milo-NSC Junior Hockey League title after beating Malacca High School 2-1 in their penultimate match at the Bukit Serendit Hockey Stadium.
The victory, however, came at a high price as two of their more experienced players – skipper Mohd Shahiram and midfielder Mohd Asraf Zulzali — will be suspended for the match against defending champions SSTMI-Thunderbolt today.
Three teams are in the running for the title. MBPJ lead the standings with 18 points after six matches, followed by Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL) on 15. Thunderbolt are third with 12 points but with a game in hand.
So, Thunderbolt must beat MBPJ to keep their title hopes alive.
Should Thunderbolt win, then their Feb 7 match against UniKL could well be the title decider.
But all that would be of academic interest if MBPJ can get a draw against Thunderbolt today.
Against Malacca High School yesterday, MBPJ had to come back from a goal down for victory.
Malacca took the lead in the eighth minute with an Amir Farhan Kamaruddin penalty corner goal.
Mohd Shairam Zali equalised for MBPJ in the 55th minute before Nazirul Mubin whipped in the winner in the 61st.
MBPJ assistant team manager Zainal Abidin Ismail expects a tough match against Thunderbolt, especially with the absence of their two key players.
"We have two players suspended for the next match. There is no doubt that this is a title decider for us. It's going to be very tough considering they are two of our more experienced players," he said.
"But the players are determined to win the match against the reigning champions. We are so close to the title ... we won't let it go without a fight."
In another match, Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) ended their campaign with a first league win after edging MSS Penang-USM 5-4 at the Education Ministry Turf.
But it may still not be enough to prevent the former champions from being relegated.
BJSS are in sixth spot with four points after seven matches – the same as seventh-placed SSTMI Juniors, who have two matches to play.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - When you think inspirational stories, think of Jeffrey Henderson. He's the epitome of how one can be successful through hard work, determination and dedication to family.
Henderson graduated from Sylvan Hills in 2007. He had played football most of his childhood, but at age 15 he decided to devote his time and efforts to track and field.
Upon graduation, Henderson left Arkansas and attended Hinds Community College in Mississippi. There he became a two-time junior college national champion in long jump. He was able to compete with the U.S. National team in the 2010 World Indoor Championship. He graduated from Hinds and attended Florida Memorial University in Miami for a year.
Man of Steel is not the Superman that I grew up with and it's not one we've seen before. This film is the story of a guy who's trying to find his place in the world. It gives a twist on Superman's origin and the planet Krypton that we haven't seen on film. Zachary Snyder (director) and David S. Goyer (writer) have created a unique Superman who reflects on his life and is searching for the way to live in ours. The story of Clark Kent becoming Superman feels as real as the destruction that is depicted when Kryptonians collide. Michael Shannon's Zod and Henry Cavill's Kal 'El are perfects fits for what is created in this film. The filmmakers have done a great job of realizing Superman's power and recreating what you'd expect from the effects of the use of those powers.
My advice is to just sit back and watch the incredible Man of Steel.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - The Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department says bridge repair work and paving will affect traffic on Interstate 40 in eastern Arkansas and I-440 in North Little Rock.
The department says paving on the west end of the White River bridge on I-40 in Prairie County will require that westbound traffic be detoured from 3 a.m. until 7 a.m. on Wednesday. Traffic is being detoured off I-40 at exit 202 to Briscoe and onto Arkansas 33, then US 70 before being allowed back onto the interstate at the Hazen exit - exit 193.
AHTD crews will also be working on an I-440 overpass at Faulkner Lake Road in North Little Rock. The eastbound outside lane of I-440 will be closed Thursday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - One in five seniors in Arkansas faces the threat of going hungry every day, and the aging population continues to grow. One organization is hoping to stop the trend of hunger by expanding its services.
CareLink is a non-profit group that delivers 1,200 meals-on-wheels to older people in central Arkansas every day; they also provide adult daycare to dozens. As baby boomers age, the demand for CareLink's services increases.
The group hopes a new facility unveiled Tuesday will help them meet demand. It's a massive and much needed undertaking.
"We're a non-profit. We're about 35 years old, and we serve older people and their families," CareLink CEO Elaine Eubank said of providing meals to seniors.
That accounts for 19,000 people a year, and Eubank knows the need is getting larger.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Two of the guns reportedly stolen from a North Little Rock man's truck Sunday night have been recovered.
Little Rock Police Dept. Sgt. Cassandra Davis said they were found in Boyle Park on Tuesday. It is not known how the guns ended up in the park or where the other guns may be.
The gun owner said about $10,000 worth of guns were stolen out of his unlocked truck between Sunday night and Monday morning.
LITTLE ROCK (AHTD) - Bridge soffit repairs will require a lane closure on Interstate 440 in North Little Rock, according to Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department officials.
The work will be performed on the Interstate 440 overpass at Faulkner Lake Road in North Little Rock. The lane closure will affect the eastbound outside lane on Thursday, June 13th between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., weather permitting.
Traffic will be controlled using warning signs and cones. Motorists should exercise caution when approaching and traveling through all highway work zones. Additional travel related information can be found at ArkansasHighways.com. You can also follow us on Twitter @AHTD.
NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- This Friday is THV 11 Night at Dickey Stephens Park! Join us as we cheer on the Arkansas Travelers!
Gates open at 6:10 p.m. and the game starts at 7:10 p.m. The first 1,000 adults in the gate receive a purple Travs camo cap courtesy of the University of Central Arkansas and THV 11!

Former Vanderbilt forward Sheldon Jeter has a new school
Aug 23, 2013, 7:17 PM EDT
Former Vanderbilt forward Sheldon Jeter received a lot of attention in the aftermath of his decision to leave the SEC school after one season. Jeter's hope was to transfer to a school closer to his Beaver Falls, Pa. home, with many expected him to wind up at Pittsburgh. One problem: Vanderbilt head coach Kevin Stallings refused to release Jeter to Pitt, meaning that in order to attend the ACC school Jeter would have to pay his own way for a year.
On Friday it was reported by Mike DeCourcy of the Sporting News that Jeter will attend Polk State College in Florida this year, deciding not to play for the basketball team in order to preserve a year of eligibility.
And no, Polk State is not closer to Beaver Falls than Vanderbilt, but this was the best option for Jeter and his family given the hand they were dealt.
Like other college coaches, Stallings has the ability to change jobs more or less at will, something he did in leaving Illinois State for Vanderbilt back in 1999. Like other college coaches, Stallings also has the authority to deny the ability of his players to transfer to any particular college for whatever whim suits him.
Precisely why Stallings refused to allow Jeter a release to Pitt is difficult to establish, because Stallings consistently has declined opportunities to discuss his position – through a spokesman, he presented a no-comment to Sporting News on Friday – and the Jeter family has declined to go public with details of what they've been through.
When news first broke in the spring that Stallings refused to grant Jeter a release to Pittsburgh there was the thought that some tampering may have occurred, thus prompting the head coach to make that decision. But according to DeCourcy both schools discussed things and acknowledged that there was no tampering.
So what gives?
Jeter will practice with the team at Polk State, and the fact that two cousins are members of the program should help him from a familiarity standpoint. But in a system in which scholarships are one-year renewable (and the player, in most instances, has to sit out a year after transferring) but coaches are allowed to leave for another job whenever they choose, should Jeter's situation really come down to this?
Unfortunately for Jeter and others, the players don't exactly hold all of the cards when it comes to the transfer process.

Hello. I am a degree holder in Bachelor of Science in Biology and very much into teaching ESL, recruitment, and customer service . I am also interested in positions that require creative writing, voice over, and transcription. I was an English tutor for 4 years with an impressive Performance Evaluation from my students, colleagues, and administrators. As a result, I was promoted to work with a team of Curriculum Developers for 1 year before I decided to leave and become a full time mom. The bulk of my career was focused on coaching and mentoring students to be confident in speaking the English language. I also have had the opportunity to work with a dynamic team of recruiters that hires for a financial company. Apart from outsourcing and headhunting for potential candidates, my main responsibilities were to select, screen, interview and shortlist qualified applicants for specific posts in Information Technology, Banking and Finance and Merchant Relationship. On top of the innate knowledge and skills that I possess, my flexibility and willingness to learn and explore new work assignments and my high regard for achieving excellent results would be a plus to my qualifications. I am looking for Work-At-Home jobs where I can have a balance between family and work. I am available to work for both full time and part time jobs.

Noam Chomsky, world-renowned political dissident, linguist, and author. He is Institute Professor Emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he has taught for more than 50 years.
World-renowned political dissident, linguist, author and MIT Professor Noam Chomsky traveled to Japan last week ahead of the three-year anniversary of the Fukushima crisis. Chomsky, now 85 years old, met with Fukushima survivors, including families who evacuated the area after the meltdown. "[It's] particularly horrifying that this is happening in Japan with its unique, horrendous experiences with the impact of nuclear explosions, which we don't have to discuss," Chomsky says. "And it's particularly horrifying when happening to children — but unfortunately, this is what happens all the time."
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: We end our Fukushima anniversary special with the words of world-renowned political dissident, linguist, author, MIT Professor Noam Chomsky, who also traveled to Tokyo last week. Noam Chomsky is now 85 years old. He met with survivors from Fukushima, including families who evacuated the area. Their meeting was filmed by the independent online media channel, OurPlanet-TV. This is Professor Chomsky speaking in Japan.
NOAM CHOMSKY: Particularly horrifying that this is happening in Japan, with its unique, horrendous experiences with the effect of the nuclear explosions, which we don't have to discuss. And, of course, it's particularly horrifying when it's happening to children, who are defenseless and innocent. But, unfortunately, this is what happens all the time. I mean, I had two daughters about—when they were about the age of your daughter, they would come home from school telling us how in school they were taught to hide under desks in case there was a nuclear war. This was right after the Cuban Missile Crisis, when the world came very close to nuclear war. And children were very upset. I mean, I knew children who were friends of families who were sure they were never going to survive because the world was going to be destroyed by a nuclear war. But the official line was: "Don't worry; everything is under control." The same was true—again, my daughters, when they were about her age, we stopped feeding them milk, because the scientists, who were concerned, recognized that there was a very high level of strontium-90 in the milk that was coming from atomic explosions the U.S. was carrying out, many open-air explosions. And the government assured everyone that there was no problem, but we just—a lot of people, like us, just stopped feeding the children, gave them only powdered milk, which came from before the explosions.
It happens all the time. So, right now, for example, in Iraq, there is a city, Fallujah, which was attacked by U.S. forces using weapons that no one understands, but they leave a high level of radiation. And there's studies by Iraqi and American doctors showing a very high level of cancer among children, far higher than before, in the whole neighborhood of Fallujah. But the government denies it. The U.S. government denies it. The Iraqi government doesn't function. The international organizations refuse to look. So it's all being carried out by independent organizations and citizens' groups.
And this is simply everywhere. I mean, in 1961, the United States began chemical warfare in Vietnam, South Vietnam, chemical warfare to destroy crops and livestock. That went on for seven years. The level of poison—they used the most extreme carcinogen known: dioxin. And this went on for years. There's enormous effects in South Vietnam. There are children today being born in Saigon hospitals, deformed children, and horrible deformations. Government refuses to investigate. They've investigated effects on American soldiers, but not on the South Vietnamese. And there's almost no study of it, except for independent citizens' groups.
It's—can add case after case, but it's a horrifying story, and particularly horrifying for you because you're suffering from it. But that's the way governments operate: They protect themselves from their own citizens. Governments regard their own citizens as their main enemy, and they have to be—protect themselves. That's why you have state secret laws. Citizens are not supposed to know what their government is doing to them. Just to give one final example, when Edward Snowden's revelations appeared, the head of U.S. intelligence, James Clapper, testified before Congress that no telephone communications of Americans are being monitored. It was an outlandish lie. Lying to Congress is a felony; should go to jail for years. Not a word. Governments are supposed to lie to their citizens.
