Rocky Long spent 11 seasons (1998-2008) as the head coach at his alma mater, stepping down on Nov. 17, 2008. Under Long, the University of New Mexico experienced unparalleled success. The Lobos' winningest head coach, Long's 65-69 career record did little to explain the dramatic improvement made under his watch. The facts and figures below clearly illustrate the tremendous progress New Mexico football enjoyed under Rocky Long:
Academics The program's top-15 semester grade-point-averages have been achieved in the past 17 semesters
UNM had a program best 2.79 GPA in the spring of 2008, plus a 2.98 in the summer of `08
UNM produced 73 academic all-conference performers since 2001
In 2007, seniors Cody Kase and Vince Natali were named Academic All-America...they were the only two players from the Mountain West Conference to make this prestigious team...senior Zach Arnett was a first team selection in 2008
Competition UNM was the only school in the Mountain West Conference to be bowl eligible every year from 2001-07, including three straight bowl appearances (2002-04) for the first time in school history, and five postseason showings in a six-year span (2002-07)
New Mexico was the only school in the MWC that won at least 6 games every season from 2001-07...that's also a first in the history of the Lobo program
A total of 49 victories from 2001-07 - an average of 7 a season - for the most prosperous 7-year span in school history
A 34-26 conference record from 2001-08, the 3rd-most wins in the league over that period behind BYU and Utah
From 2001-07, UNM was the only team in the MWC that did not have a losing record in conference play
Recognition 10 All-Americans from 2001-08
10 NFL Draft picks from 1999-2008
34 first team all-MWC honorees from 2003-08, more than any other school in the league over that span
Attendance New Mexico fans were responsible for three straight school records (2003-04-05) for season tickets sold and annual average attendance
More than 13,200 season tickets have been sold every year since 2001, including a school-record 17,466 in 2008
After winning three games in Long's inaugural season of 1998, New Mexico increased its victory total each of the next five years, reaching eight wins and a second straight bowl in 2003. No other coach in the history of Lobo football could make that claim. In fact, no other school in NCAA Div. I-A football duplicated UNM's stair-stepping feat from 1999-2003.
Gridiron pundits annually underestimated UNM's finish in the conference race. The Lobos were picked seventh in 1999 and finished in a tie for fifth. A consensus last-place selection in 2000, UNM again tied for fifth. In 2001, the experts said seventh and the Lobos tied for third. The crystal ball remained cloudy in `02 as New Mexico finished alone in second place after a sixth-place prediction. Only in 2003 did UNM finally gather a smidge of preseason respect. The Lobos were picked to finish second, and did. The experts said fourth place in 2004. Incorrect again as UNM placed second. They predicted fourth in 2007, but the Lobos tied for third.
Although he starred for UNM at quarterback, Long's coaching trademark is because of his defensive prowess. His team's indecipherable alignments - since emulated by numerous collegiate programs - have provided success with undersized and possibly less-talented players.
Remarkably, New Mexico was one of only three schools to have its defense rank in the top-30 nationally every season between 2000-04, the others being perennial national powers Oklahoma and Texas.
In 2007, the Lobos finished 13th in the nation in total defense, allowing just 319.9 yards, the highest ranking in Long's tenure as head coach. UNM allowed just six points in the final two games of the season, the fewest in consecutive games since 1963.
Long's teams proved to be nothing if not resilient especially after some slow starts. New Mexico had a 5-1 stretch midway through the 2000 season. It won four of its last five games to close out 2001. Five wins in the last seven games in 2002 pushed the Lobos into a bowl for the second time in more than 40 years. A 7-1 mark the final two months of 2003 earned a repeat bowl appearance, a feat last accomplished after the 1945-46 seasons. In 2004, a five-game winning streak to end the regular season produced another bowl. In 2006, New Mexico closed the regular season 4-2 to clinch another bowl appearance. And, in 2007, it was a 5-2 finish for a fifth bowl game in the past six seasons.
A three-time academic all-conference recipient when he attended UNM, Long also places an emphasis on the term "student-athlete." The Lobos compiled a program record 2.79 grade-point-average for the 2008 spring semester, the highest average since the school began tracking grades in 1988. In fact, 15 of the team's top-17 semester GPAs occurred during Long's tenure at UNM, all from 2000-08.
1998: Upon taking over the Lobo football program prior to the 1998 season, the unassuming Long understood that the team was coming off its best campaign in 36 years - 9-4 in `97 - and that the strength of a deep 1997 senior class was punctuated with a division title and the school's first bowl game since John F. Kennedy was in the White House.
Getting a late jump on recruiting, it was predictable that Long's first Lobo team would be young and inexperienced and the 3-9 record showed exactly that. Just two starters returned on defense and five on offense; in essence two-thirds of the starting lineup from the previous season's championship team was gone. Long realized that he and his staff would experience growing pains, especially being a first-year head coach. However, Long also had enough confidence in his ability that any struggles would be temporary.
1999: Long's second team improved to 4-7 overall and a solid 3-4 in league play to tie for fifth place. After winning two of its first three conference games, including its second straight victory at San Diego State, UNM was just a game out of first. However, three losses followed to eliminate New Mexico from bowl contention and the conference race. It would have been easy for the team to play out the season, but that didn't happen. UNM pulled up its bootstraps and closed the year with a dramatic 33-28 triumph over Air Force, a win that infused a lot more energy into the off-season.
Brian Urlacher, whom Long moved to free safety before the 1998 season, became the most decorated player in school history, earning consensus All-America honors. A finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back, Urlacher's skills were not confined to playing free safety either. He caught six touchdown passes as a receiver and returned punts and kickoffs to the amazement of all who saw him play.
Urlacher was a first-round selection of the Chicago Bears in 2000, and was almost immediately inducted into the Monsters-of-the-Midway pantheon alongside names like Butkus and Singletary. Shifting to middle linebacker early in the season, Urlacher was named NFC Defensive Rookie of the Year and earned a spot on the Pro Bowl roster.
2000: Picked to finish seventh or eighth in the MWC, the Lobos were 5-7 and ended in a fifth-place tie at 3-4. The squad came within an eyelash of being something really special.
A rough start had UNM winless after three games. Little did anyone know at the time that the Lobos' first three opponents - Texas Tech, Boise State and Oregon State - would combine for a 26-8 regular-season record and all play in bowl games. Oregon State finished No. 4 in the country with an 11-1 record after destroying Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. The Lobos led the Beavers 20-14 going into the fourth quarter before falling 28-20.
Buoyed by the confidence of playing four competitive quarters against a tough Pac-10 team, the Lobos went 5-1 in their next six games to become a legitimate contender for the MWC title. UNM ripped Wyoming at home then took eventual conference champ Colorado State down to the wire in Fort Collins before falling in the final period, 17-14. New Mexico made it two straight over Air Force with a convincing win at the Academy followed by a defensive gem against Utah, 10-3.
The Lobos were 3-1 in the league and in the hunt for the conference crown going into the final three games of the season. UNM needed two wins to clinch an unfathomable bowl berth. Narrow losses to San Diego State (17-16) and UNLV (18-14) dashed the postseason hopes.
The 2000 UNM defense was the best in 38 years, allowing just 309.4 yards a game, good for 17th nationally. The Lobos led the Mountain West in turnover margin, rushing defense, pass efficiency defensive rating and sacks, and at one point held five straight teams under 300 yards total offense - a first since the 1964 season.
2001: A 1-3 start did not deter the mission as UNM rattled off five victories in its last seven games to finish 6-5, Long's first winning season and only the Lobos' fifth since 1979. New Mexico was picked to finish seventh in the MWC, but recorded a 4-3 mark to tie Utah for third. Improvement was made on both sides of the ball and in the stands.
The offensive averages increased by more than eight points and 110 yards a game from the previous season. The stingy defense again finished in the top-20, allowing just 310.8 yards a game - 18th nationally - including a school-record-low 87.4 rushing yards a contest. UNM held its last five foes to less than 300 yards of offense.
The Lobos won at Wyoming for the first time in 20 years, beat Air Force for the third straight year, triumphed at San Diego State for an unprecedented third consecutive time and held explosive BYU to its fewest points of the season. A bowl berth all came down to a mid-November showdown with Colorado State. The battle-tested Rams won 24-17, but the defiant Lobos came back the next weekend to blast in-state rival New Mexico State 53-0 and finish with a winning record.
Arguably the biggest improvement came at the ticket counter. Thanks to a beautiful expansion in the north end of the stadium, the addition of the LoboVision videoboard and some pretty competitive football, attendance at home games soared by 32 percent. UNM set school records for total attendance (187,608) and average attendance (31,268).
2002: Long held together a team that was 2-4, had just been belted 49-0 on national television and had just lost its starting quarterback to a broken arm for possibly the rest of the season. Such was the case on Sept. 27 after Texas Tech left town. Somehow, the ship was righted and the Lobos started winning football games.
Adjustments - made for a variety of reasons - became the buzzword the last half of the season. The once-proud defense was suddenly allowing yardage in massive chunks, especially through the air. Changes were followed by improvement and the results were borderline fiction.
While most folks remained non-believers, the New Mexico team with just eight seniors participating won at UNLV for the first time ever, toppled San Diego State in Albuquerque for the first time in 19 years and defeated BYU in Provo for the first time since 1971 when Long was the Lobos' quarterback. When the dust settled, UNM was 7-6 overall and 5-2 in MWC action. Confidence had been restored, New Mexico finished as high as second in conference play for only the third time in the past 30 years and a rare bowl-game invitation was enthusiastically accepted.
Calling it "the gutsiest team he has ever been around," Long's fifth Lobo team embodied all that its head coach represents: hard work, unselfishness and humility.
2003: If Long thought his 2002 team was the gutsiest team he has ever been around, then the 2003 edition was absolutely the toughest, a mirror image of its head coach. Arguably possessing the best collection of talent in his tenure at UNM, the Lobos placed 13 players on the all-conference first or second team, at the time the highest number in school history. The result of the diligence was consecutive bowl appearances for the first time in 57 years.
An 8-4 regular-season record and another second-place finish in the MWC was highlighted by a 47-35 win at No. 23 Utah, the Lobos' first victory over a ranked team on the road in 28 years. Every attendance record was shattered and the Lobos were among the nation's leaders in offense and defense. Of course, they again led the MWC in sacks and rushing defense.
After starting 1-3, the Lobos reeled off seven wins in their last eight games, including the school's first four-game winning streak since 1997 and the first unbeaten October since 1959. New Mexico beat defending conference champ Colorado State for the first time in eight years and knocked off Air Force for the fourth time in the past five years. UNM also recorded its biggest win ever at Wyoming, despite four hours sleep due to travel complications, and snow and sub-zero temperatures at kickoff.
2004: The 2004 season heightened the stature of New Mexico football even more. After losing 14 starters - including eight first- or second-team all-conference performers plus the school's most successful quarterback - from the previous year's Las Vegas Bowl team, a middle-of-the-pack finish was predicted. As the straight shooting Long annually says, don't pay attention to the preseason prognostications.
After a 2-4 start, the Lobos closed the regular season with a five-game winning streak to claim second place outright in the Mountain West Conference for the third straight year. That translated into the aforementioned third consecutive bowl appearance for the first time in Lobo history.
2005: If there was a season that could be categorized as disappointing, it could be this one. Armed with a load of talented seniors, UNM was picked to finish second in the Mountain West. A 3-0 start, including a win at Missouri, helped to intensify the expectations. It was a bizarre season, though, as the Lobos won their final three MWC road games, but dropped their final three encounters at University Stadium.
Needing a win in the season finale to claim a fourth straight bowl trip, UNM lost at home and had to play the waiting game with a bowl-eligible 6-5 record. None of the pieces fell into place and the Lobos stayed home.
New Mexico had seven players earn first team all-conference honors, including senior DonTrell Moore for the fourth consecutive season. Moore became just the sixth player in NCAA history to rush for 1,000 yards in four seasons and was named MWC Offensive Player of the Year. Hank Baskett and his 1,071 yards gave the Lobos their first 1,000-yard rusher and receiver in the same season while center Ryan Cook was all-MWC for the third straight year.
For the third straight year, UNM set school record for season tickets (17,404), and average attendance (38,341), including a record 44,760 against New Mexico State.
2006: The story of the 2006 team was one of struggle, perseverance, promise and redemption. With stunning losses, devastating injuries, breakthrough performances and thrilling victories, New Mexico went through it all. Long admitted that this raw, young team may not have been the best squad he's had in Albuquerque, but he is certain that no group of players played with the same fortitude and tenacity.
A season that appeared to be an uphill climb to begin with suddenly became a mountain ascent when the Lobos fell to Division I-AA Portland State in the opener and lost third-year starting quarterback Kole McKamey on the third play of its second game. UNM started three different quarterbacks for the first time since 1991. It was an extremely young team as just five seniors started and that included the kicker. Only nine seniors saw significant playing time.
Certainly a highlight was the emergence of redshirt freshman quarterback Donovan Porterie. Sitting with a 2-4 record and down by 14 points on the road at UNLV, Porterie staged what would become a common theme in October: The comeback. Porterie and the Lobos erased a 14-point second half deficit to down the Rebels in overtime. One week later, UNM trailing Utah 24-3 late in the first half. Porterie ignited one of the greatest comebacks in school history as the Lobos rallied for a 34-31 victory. One week later, the unflappable rookie directed another rally at Colorado State. UNM trailed 19-10, but pulled out a 20-19 triumph on a last-second field goal.
The Lobos clinched their fourth bowl appearance in the past five seasons with a resounding 41-14 win over San Diego State. However, UNM fell to San Jose State in the inaugural New Mexico Bowl, suffering its first losing season (6-7) since 2000.
2007: "We knocked down some doors," said Long after the Lobos finished 9-4, becoming just the fourth New Mexico team in 109 seasons of football to win 9 games.
Calling it the best team he's had in terms of chemistry and senior leadership, UNM blanked Nevada 23-0 in the New Mexico Bowl, giving the Lobos their first bowl victory since 1961. Most impressive about the bowl win was the score. Nevada had not been shutout in 329 games - a span covering 27 years - for the longest current streak in the NCAA and the second longest all-time in college football.
A school record eight Lobos were voted to the all-Mountain West Conference first team. New Mexico's eight first team honorees led the MWC, were the most in the conference since 2001 and matched the second most by one team in league history.
A real success story was former walk-on John Sullivan, a senior kicker who was named a consensus All-American after leading the nation in field goals with 29. UNM was also just one of three Football Bowl Subdivision schools to produce a 3,000-yard passer (Donovan Porterie), a 1,000-yard rusher (Rodney Ferguson) and two 1,000-yard receivers (Marcus Smith and Travis Brown). The defense was 13th-best in the nation, allowing just 320 yards a game.
New Mexico finished 6-1 at University Stadium, the most home wins since the 1939 Lobos went 6-0 during an 8-2 season.
A huge highlight of the non-conference season was a 29-27 victory at Arizona, the Lobos' first win over a Pac-10 team on the road since 1979.
2008: Rocky Long's final season at New Mexico certainly did not go as planned. The primary cause of a 4-8 season was the abundance of injuries: starting QB Donovan Porterie went down midway through the fourth game of the season, and nearly two dozen surgeries were required for frontline players after the season ended.
There were certainly highlights, though. The Lobos took down Arizona for the second year in a row. The Wildcats finished 8-5 and beat BYU in the Las Vegas Bowl. UNM scored 19 points in the fourth quarter to rally past New Mexico State in Las Cruces, 35-24. It's the sixth straight win over the Aggies. The Lobos blanked Wyoming 24-0 for their first conference shutout since 1983 and blitzed San Diego State 70-7, tying a school and conference record with eight rushing TDs.
Senior Rodney Ferguson rushed for 1,105 yards, giving UNM a 1,000-yard ground gainer for seven consecutive seasons while senior CB Glover Quin set a school mark in just three seasons with 31 career pass breakups.
A stellar high school athlete in the mid-60s at Alta Loma High School in Cucamonga, Calif., Long was actually paid a home recruiting visit by Bob Knight, trying to lure Long to play basketball at Army.
That Long slipped under the radar in football is an understatement. Playing in a Southern California high school all-star game following his senior season in August of 1968, Long was the only prep player on the field who did not have a college scholarship. A UNM assistant coach attending the game later phoned and offered Long, which he gratefully accepted.
Originally a defensive back, Long became a standout quarterback for UNM from 1969-71. He was a three-year starter, won the Western Athletic Conference offensive player of the year award (1971) and was named the Lobos' team MVP all three seasons. Long was also a co-captain in 1969 - the first sophomore in the Modern Era to earn that distinction - and the team captain again as a senior in 1971.
With Long engineering the option attack, New Mexico recorded its two most prolific rushing seasons in school history, averaging a school-record 384.5 yards per game in 1971 and 350.1 yards in 1970. Long finished his career ranked No. 1 on the UNM all-time rushing list with 2,071 yards, and he is still among the top-10. He still ranks fourth in all-time rushing attempts (469) and is seventh in career total offense (4,461 yards).
The Lobos achieved remarkable prosperity with Long at the helm, recording back-to-back winning seasons in 1970-71, and totaling a cumulative 17-12-2 record over the three-year span. In fact, the 1970-71 Lobos were the last team to have consecutive winning seasons until the 1996-97 squads matched the feat.
Additionally, Long was a three-time academic all-conference selection, recipient of the WAC Scholar Athlete Award (1970) and an honorable mention Academic All-America in 1969. He was awarded an NCAA postgraduate scholarship in 1972, and earned his bachelor's degree in Secondary Education from UNM in 1974.
In the summer of 1971, Long joined Johnny Musso (Alabama), Lydell Mitchell (Penn State) and Stan Mauldin (Texas) as one of four NCAA players to visited U.S. servicemen in Vietnam.
In 1996, Long was named to the University of New Mexico Hall of Honor, an award given to alumni who advance the mission of intercollegiate athletics, promote pride among the Alumni Lettermen at UNM and educate future generations with regard to UNM's athletics traditions and history. Long's qualifications for the distinction were in evidence even during his playing days, when he was a two-time winner of the Chuck Cummings Memorial Award, given to the player with the best morale and spirit.
Long played professionally upon finishing his career at UNM, hooking up as a defensive back and returning punts with British Columbia of the CFL in 1972-73 and again from 1975-77. He also played with the Detroit Wheels of the World Football League in 1974.
Long came to UNM after serving two seasons (1996-97) as the defensive coordinator at UCLA. The Bruins played in the 1998 Cotton Bowl, squelching Texas A&M 29-23. Ironically, that bowl game was Long's first as a player or as a coach. Long's defense was superior the entire 1997 season, finishing second in the nation in turnover margin (+20), 15th in rushing defense (108.3 ypg), 15th in pass efficiency defense (103.84 rating) and 33rd in scoring defense (20.4 ppg). Long's 1996 Bruin defense finished third in the Pac-10 and was ranked 23rd in the nation against the run.
Prior to his days in Westwood, Long spent five years at Oregon State as defensive coordinator, where the Beavers recorded three of the school's top-10 rushing defense totals. Before that, Long spent three years as TCU's secondary coach, which was preceded by a two-year stint as linebackers coach for the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League.
From 1981-85, Long spent time in Laramie, Wyo., as defensive coordinator/secondary coach for the University of Wyoming. He actually had a previous stint with UNM before becoming a Cowboy, as a secondary coach from 1979-80, an offensive backfield coach in 1978 and as a graduate assistant in 1972-73.
Rocky Long was born on January 27, 1950, in Provo, Utah, while his father, Rod, was playing at BYU. The elder Long was a three-year letterman (end) at BYU from 1948-50, and a 33-year coaching veteran in California high schools and colleges.
Long is married to the former Debby Meerdink, who is a 1972 graduate of the UNM School of Nursing. The couple has two daughters, Roxanne and Hannah, and both are coaches. Roxanne is a 1998 graduate of the University of Oklahoma where she was a four-year letterwinner for the Sooners' basketball team. She is currently the head women's basketball coach at Texas Lutheran University. Hannah, a former volleyball and basketball player at Portland State, received her master's degree in Higher Education from Texas A&M and is currently the head women's volleyball coach at Southwestern (Texas) University.

text: Benchtop experiments were performed, in which an electric field was used to enhance separation of water from phosphatic clay suspensions from a central Florida mine. A constitutive relationship was established that relates the increase in solids content to operating time and the applied electric field. An upper limit to the degree of separation was found to be a function of electric field, and the time required to achieve this limiting value was also a function of electric field. The energy requirement for removal of water ranged from 1.25 to 175 Wh/kg water removed as a function of the electric field. A mathematical model was developed that provided good agreement to the experimental values and served to validate the constitutive relationship.

Today Microsoft is launching its Engineering Windows 7 blog, hosted by two senior engineering managers for Windows 7: Steven Sinofsky, who is in charge of the Windows and Windows Live Engineering Group; and Jon DeVaan, head of the Windows Core Operating System Division.
While neither of the only two blog entries thus far provides any useful info regarding Vistas successor, Sinofsky did at least say that the company plans to provide in-depth technical information about Windows 7 at the Professional Developers Conference (PDC) and the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) in late October. It remains to be seen how much or how deeply Sinofsky and DeVaan plan to discuss Windows 7 on the blog, but at least its a start.

MPs have voted in favour of recognising Palestine as a state alongside Israel in a symbolic vote.
MPs have a rare chance to vote on Palestinian statehood today.
Yehuda Shaul writes of how he and his friends learned to glorify power, and lost their ability to see Palestinians as people whose lives are no less valuable. Now, he and hundreds of others are working to end the occupation.
A 1955 archive profile of the founder and first prime minister of Israel, shortly after his return to power.
The inconvenient truth is that the collective punishment of the Palestinian people in Gaza is a collective endeavour in its own right – led by Israel, enforced by Egypt, endorsed by Saudi Arabia.
The assault on Gaza has been a humanitarian disaster, yet the west's staunch support for Israel continues.
Israel is preparing to retaliate for the killing of three teenagers, but an increase in violence will hurt both sides.
Israeli settlements in the West Bank cause misery for Palestinians - but, of course, one must lend equal weight to the joy that bubbly soft drinks bring to the rest of us.
"Could a common state solution more easily resolve the deadlock than the two-state solution I and many others have long-favoured?"
While the Israeli government's plans for a rail network linking Israel to the West Bank and Gaza may bring a slight improvement in living standards, it also has the potential to erase Palestinian opportunities for independent economic development and perm

Want to see a movie? What better way to spend a summer evening than floating in the big pool at Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) while watching Tom Cruise on the big screen.
After five years on hiatus, the MHCC Aquatic Center Dive-In Movie Special makes a return to the big screen this summer. At sunset, around 7:15 p.m., families and friends are welcome to spend time floating, splashing and swimming in the College's 50-meter Olympic size pool. Film classics such as "Mission: Impossible" and other crowd favorites will be played on the electric scoreboard for viewers of all ages.
"We wanted to bring back Dive-In Movies as a fun event for the community," says Steve Hula, manager of aquatics and recreation. "It provides a nice way for people to relax in the big pool on a hot day while enjoying movies for no extra charge."
Movies start Friday June 29 with Disney's "Enchanted" and continue on July 6 and 13 with "Dolphin Tale" and "TinTin." Aug. 3, 10, 17 and 31 will feature "Rango, "Madagascar," "Mission: Impossible" and end with "Kong Fu Panda 2." Prices are the same for open swim, $4.50 for adults, $3.25 for children 18 and younger and seniors. MHCC students, staff and pool members' admission is free with current ID or punch card. There is no extra charge to see the movie.
"This event is great for people of all ages — everyone loves to lounge in the big pool and float around," notes Hula.
So suit up for the summer! All movies will begin at 7:15 p.m. and don't forget your flotation toys.
Dive-In movies aren't the only activities the Aquatic Center is hosting this summer. Day camps begin June 18, Monday through Friday. Come learn about the outdoors and explore the grounds of MHCC's Campus with Camp Central, Rock Climbing, Outdoor Adventure and other camps. Online registration is now available at www.mhcc.edu/AquaticsRegistration.

Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.
By Peter Chernin, chairman and CEO of The Chernin Group; chairman of Malaria No More (www.MalariaNoMore.org) and board member of Friends of the Global Fight Against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (www.TheGlobalFight.org)
The ongoing budget negotiations in Washington will require many hard choices to be made in the coming weeks. With respect to global health programs, these decisions may mean, literally, the difference between life and death. At this unique moment in time — where we have an opportunity to truly turn the tide on diseases like AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria — having a strong advocate, such as the one we have in Secretary of State John Kerry, has never been more critical.
Secretary Kerry has heard firsthand the stories of individuals, families and communities devastated by these diseases. He recently recounted an experience he had speaking with young women of only 13 and 14 at a school in South Africa. Many of these teenagers were caring for relatives with HIV. Of this experience, he said, "…it was moving to see what [the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief] PEPFAR is doing…The difference it made to the lives of those people and their sense of possibility — young girls who, for the first time, [are] being given an opportunity. "
Like Secretary Kerry I, too, have met people on the front lines of fighting these diseases. I first became interested in global health during a trip to Botswana; my guide took his leave one afternoon by explaining to me that he needed to care for family members orphaned from HIV/AIDS. It was this experience that inspired me to join the Harvard AIDS Institute and to subsequently become a Board Member for Friends of the Global Fight Against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and Chairman of the Board for Malaria No More.
My experiences, and the knowledge I have gained from them, inform my excitement about Secretary Kerry and his record of supporting lifesaving health efforts worldwide. It is through leadership like his that remarkable progress has been made in the fights against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. In the past decade, strong political champions and increases in funding have helped to avert 1.1 million malaria deaths, reduce the number of new tuberculosis cases, and ensure AIDS treatment for more than eight million people worldwide.
All those years ago I witnessed the heartbreaking consequences of disease, but more recently I have been privileged to see real progress. For instance, I had the opportunity to travel to Tanzania where, not long before my visit to a health clinic, 1,500 cases of malaria had been diagnosed within a six-month period. When I arrived, the number of diagnosed cases in that same amount of time had been reduced to one. From1,500 to one. This is simply astonishing.
Examples like this are no longer uncommon. This kind of progress is due in large part to the support of individuals like Secretary Kerry and the efforts of organizations like the Global Fund, the world's largest global health financier. The U.S. government's endorsement of and support for the Global Fund allow the organization to work hand-in-hand with bilateral initiatives, such as the President's Malaria Initiative and PEPFAR, expanding their reach toward the common goal of saving lives.
In speaking to a foreign policy classroom recently, Secretary Kerry spoke about being on the cusp of an AIDS-free generation, saying that, through interventions like those that prevent mothers from transmitting AIDS to their children, "Americans — who have put their dollars on the line…have saved over five million lives in Africa. That's the difference we make."
I'm so pleased that Secretary Kerry has continued to uphold the legacy of U.S. support for global health programs that he worked on in the Senate. It is clear that he understands that global health is not a one-time investment. By maintaining funding today, we have the opportunity to stop these diseases in their tracks and continue building upon the successes of the past decade, rather than risk squandering the investments we've made thus far.

A report suggests that other forces should follow the example set by Merseyside Police when dealing with sex workers. The investigation by London Assembly member Andrew Boff focuses on how to make people in the sex industry safer, writes Charlotte Malone.
In response to the Ipswich murders, current Met Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe – then Merseyside Chief Constable – decided to publicly label attacks against sex workers as hate crimes.
In doing so he acknowledged sex workers as a minority who were victims of prejudice and required an 'enhanced service.' This led to support scheme Ugly Mug becoming formally linked to the police. Victims are now able to anonymously report attacks.
As a result, the service saw an increase in recorded crimes against sex workers and resulting convictions. In the first 18 months the local conviction rate for rape was 67 per cent, compared to the national average of just 6.5 per cent.
In the report, a sex worker recalled her experience of the new approach with specialist officers, saying: "You could talk to them – even if I had the littlest question I could phone them. The police have been brilliant."
As positive experiences circulated amongst victims, more crimes were reported. Indeed, the number of sex workers prepared to confide their names and addresses to police increased by 400 per cent in the first 18 months.
The Olympics have heightened media interest in trafficking and prostitution in London. The Government Office of London has set aside £600,000 specifically to target trafficking.
However, fears of an increase in activity during the Games may be unfounded. In his report, Mr Boff found that South African officials expected an increase of 40,000 people soliciting prostitutes during the 2010 World Cup. Evidence showed that this was not the case.
Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) Liaison for UK Network of Sex Work Projects (UKNSWP), Rosie Campbell said: "The Met should consider adopting the policy of treating crimes against sex workers as hate crime. Research has found the Merseyside approach has changed attitudes amongst the police."
Even with the new approach the issues can be problematic as a female sex worker may not see herself as a victim of sexual exploitation.
In 2010 the specialist trafficking unit in the Met was replaced by the Human Exploration and Organised Crime Command (SCD9). In May 2011, MP Mark Field expressed his concern that insufficient resources were being directed at policing teams.
"Other street problems, vice, kerb crawling, casino fraud and money laundering are massive problems in their own right. One wonders whether the other problems are crowding out trafficking," he warned.

Ishpeming, MI
Welcome to the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame
The U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame and Museum is located in the City of Ishpeming in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the birthplace of organized skiing in the United States.
It is home to an extensive collection of artifacts and archives relating to the history of skiing. It has 20,000 square feet of space containing displays on over 400 Honored Members, trophies, clothing and equipment. There is a gift shop, library and theater.
To support the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame, you can now donate online!
News and Events:
Enshrinement Weekend set for Ishpeming, September 18-20
The annual Enshrinement Weekend, of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame in Ishpeming has been set for this coming September 18- 20. The main feature of the event is this year's class of honorees, which is the largest since 1984. Altogether, 10 men and women are being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Among them is Jeannie Thoren who was born and raised in Marquette and last year was the celebrated alumnus for Northern Michigan University.
The Hall of Fame's Enshrinement Weekend celebrates Ishpeming's and the Upper Peninsula's special place in the world of ski sport because of its historic role in the organization of the National Ski Association of America. This organization which also founded the national ski museum in Ishpeming in 1954 is the reason this city became the "birthplace of organized skiing in America." The weekend will complete the induction of the Class of 2014 into the Hall of Fame and also introduce this great group of athletes and contributors to ski sport to our community. It is a tremendous opportunity for everyone to meet and talk to world and Olympic champions.
The weekend's events are:
· Enshrinement Ceremony and Reception at the Hall of Fame on Friday evening, preceded by the National Ski Jumpers Reunion
· Ishpeming Kiwanis Welcome Breakfast on Saturday
· Coy Hill Golf Outing - Wawonowin Golf Club on Saturday afternoon
· Enshrinement Banquet, Saturday evening
Throughout the weekend the honorees will also be touring Ishpeming, Negaunee and Marquette to meet the media and enjoying many of our community's attractions.
The members of what is called the Class of 2014 are: Curt Chase (one of the founders of the Professional Ski Instructors of America), Joe Cushing (a pioneer designer of ski resorts), Chris Davenport (a leader in ski mountaineering), Kristina Koznick (a former U.S. Ski Team alpine racer), John McMurtry (the leader of US Ski Team championship development), Ralph Miller (former skiing world speed record holder), Ross Powers (Olympic snowboarding champion), Erik Schlopy (professional world champion racer), Dr. Robert Smith (developer of the first double lens goggle and founder of Smith Optics), Jeannie Thoren (the "Johnny Appleseed of Women's Skiing").
The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame is the only national museum dedicated to the history of skiing and snowboarding in the United States. Its facility has made it the largest ski museum in the world. Its vision: To promote, honor, celebrate and preserve the records of the athletes and builders of skiing and snowboarding as a sport and industry. With the last class of honorees, 404 men and women are now national hall of famers in skiing and snowboarding.
For more information or to reserve tickets to the events call: 906-485-6323.
Ishpeming's Gateway Opportunity
The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame is excited about the construction of two roundabouts on the north and south side of its property that will take place in the spring of 2016. It sees these projects as its Community Gateway Opportunity and it is working with MDOT and our own design firm, UPEA of Ishpeming, to plan and redesign its landscaping and parking areas to make its campus more attractive from the highway.
The current Hall of Fame building was built in 1991 and with 25 years in its current location the time has come to improve and upgrade many aspects of this facility. When these changes are completed visitors travelling through Ishpeming on U.S. 41 will really feel that they have entered the gateway to this community and will have a greater appreciation of it. The roundabout on U.S 41 will slow traffic and have it pass closer to the Hall of Fame. They will be very aware that the National Hall of Fame for skiing and snowboarding is located in Ishpeming. Among the plans are improved signage including a sculpture of a ski jumper at the front of the Hall of Fame.
The community has been very supportive of the Hall of Fame's plans that it is developing in response to the efforts to improve traffic flow and safety with the roundabouts. Letters and motions of support have been received from the City of Ishpeming, the Downtown Development Authority, the Greater Ishpeming Chamber of Commerce, the Ishpeming Business Association and the Marquette County Board of Commissioners. These improvements will enhance the ability of all potential guests to experience the art and culture of the museum.
The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame announced ten athletes and sport builders as inductees elected to the Hall of Fame who will make up the Class of 2014. Among the inductees are Olympic champion snowboarder Ross Powers, World Alpine Championship medalist Erik Schlopy, noted big mountain skier Chris Davenport, ski instruction pioneer Curt Chase, and goggle innovator Bob Smith. Others include resort designer Joe Cushing, World Cup race winner Kristina Koznik, alpine development leader John McMurtry, women's innovator Jeannie Thoren and Ralph Miller, one of the great American ski racers from the 1950's. Their induction will take place in Steamboat Springs, CO on April 11, 2015. There will also be a special enshrinement ceremony weekend for Honored Members at the home of the Hall of Fame in Ishpeming, Michigan on September 18-20, 2015.
Curt Chase (Colorado) was an innovator and motivating force in the field of ski instruction for over 40 years. He served as a survival training instructor of the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division and later held the same positon for the Strategic Air Command. He contributed to what is now known as the American Ski Technique and was one of the eight founders of the Professional Ski Instructors of America. He passed away in June of this year.
Joe Cushing (New Hampshire) was a pioneer in ski area planning and design. Working with the legendary Sel Hannah, Hall of Fame Class of 1968, he worked on over 400 projects; of which, over 150 include some or all of his design influence. Among those areas where his impact can be seen are Loon Mountain and Bretton Woods in New Hampshire, Sugarbush and Stratton in Vermont, Copper Mountain and Keystone in Colorado and Deer Valley in Utah.
Chris Davenport (Colorado) is widely regarded as one of the world's premier big mountain skiers. In 1996 he was recognized as the World Extreme Skiing Champion and four years later was the International Freeskier's Association's World Freeskiing champion. In 2007 he became the first person to ski all 54 of Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks in one year. He has been featured in 30 ski films.
Kristina Koznick (Colorado) was an outstanding slalom racer from the mid-west who began her career under the coaching direction of Erich Sailer, Hall of Fame Class of 2005. With six national titles and six World Cup victories she finished second twice in the season-long fis World Cup. She was named to three Olympic teams and competed at six World Championships.
John McMurtry (Colorado) was a US Ski Team coach during the 1980's, which saw several of its members win World Cup titles, Olympic medals and the only Nation's Cup Award for the U.S. Alpine Team. In 1987 he became the U.S. team's development and later alpine director establishing a regional development program that continues to bring thousands of young athletes into the sport including Picabo Street, Bode Miller, Lindsay Vonn and Julia Mancuso.
Ralph Miller (Kentucky) was one of America's top skiing competitors in the 1950's where he excelled in four event competitions (downhill, slalom, jumping, cross country). He won or placed in the top three of many of the top competitions held during this time and frequently was able to beat Olympians like Stein Eriksen, Hall of Fame Class of 1982, and Othmar Schneider. In 1955 he set a world speed record of 109 mph which stood for 15 years.
Ross Powers (Vermont) is the fourth person from snowboarding to be elected to the Hall of Fame. He won the first U.S Olympic medal in snowboarding, a bronze, at the 1998 Nagano Games and was the Olympic halfpipe champion in 2002, leading an American podium sweep. Two years earlier he had won a World Championship. During his career he held every title in halfpipe snowboarding.
Erik Schlopy (Utah) was a three time Olympian and seven time national champion who had one of the longest and most successful careers in U.S. ski racing history. He was a World Pro super G champion and a bronze medal winner in the giant slalom at the World Championships in 2003. Throughout his career he demonstrated not only his great ability but also his perseverance and tenacity coming back from many serious injuries to compete with the best in this sport.
Dr. Robert Smith (Idaho) was a dentist turned goggle inventor who changed skiing, which was his passion, when he founded his eyewear company in the 1960's. Smith Optics was founded literally from his kitchen table where he developed a thermal lens goggle that did not fog up when it was being used on the ski slopes. It was an invention that was enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of skiers initially and continues to have an impact on the experience of skiers and snowboarders today. He passed away in 2012.
Jeannie Thoren (Minnesota) is regarded by many as the "Johnny Appleseed" of women's skiing. She was a pioneer in developing women's specific ski equipment, which helped women ski better because they were using equipment better suited to their physique. For nearly 20 years, beginning in 1988, she conducted an estimated 70 women's ski equipment seminars annually around the country in her effort to improve the sport for all women.

Gail Sheehy: Code Red on the American Dream
The toll on emotional health for women in their mid-forties to mid-fifties has a significant impact on our economy — and the health of our nation
Why do Americans in midlife rank lowest in well-being and highest in depression? They eat more, smoke more, and are developing serious chronic diseases earlier than in the past, according to the latest findings of the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index.
Here's a good guess: Most of them can't afford to keep up their payments on the American dream. Our economic success formula is still bold as a double shot of espresso for top earners, who get tax breaks to fly corporate jets. But for middle class women in particular, that formula is being watered down to decaf tea.
Almost 70% of boomers are providing some financial support to their adult children and grandchildren. They are picking up the pieces as their sons and daughters lose jobs and bail out of over-mortgaged homes. Layer on top of that the cost of long-term health care for their parents, who are living into their 80s and 90s with multiple chronic illnesses. The average family caregiver is a woman in her late 40s who still has at least one child at home and works outside the home while providing an average of 20 hours a week of hands-on care for a loved one. There you have the recipe for the Club Sandwich Caregiver.
The toll and stress on emotional health for women in the core group of baby boomers —now mid-40s to mid-50s — has a significant impact on our economy and the health of our nation. Startling data gathered by Healthways since 2008 reveals that even women who still have jobs are feeling increasingly dissatisfied with their work environment. These women are reporting increases in sadness, stress, worry, and lost sleep. "If you're sad, stressed, worried, and tired, you won't have enough energy to exercise and you're not going to make healthy eating choices," says Janet Calhoun, Director of Innovation at Healthways.
Midlife women's low well-being is taking a toll on this country. And it will be felt not just in continued spiraling healthcare costs. Calhoun reports "very compelling data that shows individuals with low well-being have much lower productivity and performance, and that is a huge economic drain."
No wonder the psychic anxiety is driving up depression. There is no time for women in the Club Sandwich generation to get fit with exercise and slow food. So what can we do about it?
We now face the very real prospect that the game of chicken between Congress and the President over the deficit will not avert an economic calamity. Big Foots in finance and political pundits agreed with one another at the recent Aspen Ideas Festival: The sky is falling, and most of the American public didn't get the memo. Author and columnist Thomas L. Friedman warned that we will not pull out of our slow, gradual decline unless the public gets the message: "This is Code Red … if we don't raise taxes and invest in the rebuilding of the pillars of our success, the American dream will die."
It looks like President Obama is now willing to accept the Simpson-Bowles Commission's proposal to make major cuts in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. "It's reviving the Cat Food Commission," groans Trudy L. Mason, New York State Democratic Committeewoman, referring to Simpson's neglect of the elderly and women of all ages. Simpson has written that Social Security is "like a milk cow with 310 million tits." The President did not admonish the head of his deficit-reduction commission. Far from eating cake, 64 percent of Social Security beneficiaries depend on their benefit for 50 to 90 percent of their income.
There comes a point where we have to stand our ground. The last best hope is for citizens working through collective action. But the only kinds of grassroots activism you can find on the internet comes from Tea Party conservatives or anti-capitalist liberals — the same divide that strangles realistic solutions in Washington.
So, send a memo to your friends: Let's organize citizen action and get radical about saving the American dream.
Journalist and lecturer Gail Sheehy is the author of 16 books about adult life stages, including Passages in Caregiving: Turning Chaos into Confidence.

Kennesaw State University's Nursing program encourages you to declare Nursing as your major and begin taking the general education component of the program at your earliest convenience. Keep in mind, however, the Nursing program is highly competitive, with many more applicants than the number of students that can be accommodated. Students earning the greatest number of A's and B's in the prerequisite courses are the most likely for admission.
It is most advantageous to discuss your goals, timeline and outside commitments with the nursing advisement center staff to determine your course load. The two of you can then effectively plan your smooth progression into the Nursing Program.

(June Edition)
submitted highly positive feedback about the wind energy program I recommended last month,
month I'm
going to introduce
you to
an incredibly easy, step-by-step guide for making your own solar panels
for a fraction of what it would cost your for similar quality retail units.
Not only did
build my very first solar panel for under $100,
(after trying and
2 other, relatively incomplete, "do-it-yourself" guides), but I was so impressed with how easy it was I went ahead and built and installed 7 more of them and since then my utility bill has been cut in half.
In fact, the step-by-step guide was so easy that my son built one for a school project.
If you
short of
time you
can see
where I got these step-by-step plans below,
I highly
you take
a couple
to read
the rest
of the story
as I'm certain
it will
you and
in building your first panel and cutting your utility bill to a fraction of what it is now.
Here's What Happened...
As most of you know I'm just an average guy living a normal life with the wife and 2 kids, and up until the end of last year, I didn't give a second thought to my $230 average electric bill (it gets to about $420 in the winter, and $100 in the summer). That is, until I talked to a buddy of mine down the street about his electric bill...
I won't go into everything because
that would take all day and
I realize that your time is
precious. However, as I'm
sure you can guess, the
inevitable happened... my buddy had just recieved his first check from the electric company.
To cut a
very long
story short, after talking with a few different companies about having solar panels built for me, and realizing there's now way I could afford paying what they were asking (which was between $20,000-25,000), I began looking for
ways to build my own solar panels. However, I was having almost no success,
and was on the verge of giving up...
But Then I Found Earth4Energy.com ...
After going through two other sets of plans that I bought from the internet, only to give up because they were either incomplete or didn't actually work (at the time I thought it was me, but now that I actually understand how solar panels work, I know it was the plans that were wrong), I stumbled onto the website
'Earth4Energy.com'. They had plenty of testimonials of people who had successfully used their plans, and the website assured me that it would be easy, and straight forward.
I was doubtful because I'd already been burned with the other plans that I'd bought ...
but after reading some very
positive reviews, and being reassured by their "love it or it's free" guarantee, I decided
to give it a go (I also really wanted the free wind turbine plans that they offer as a bonus ... check to see if they're still offered, the wind turbine is just as easy to make and it's a great backup for those dark and stormy days).
The whole idea for building solar panels is that you
buy your own solar cells, wire them together, connect them to a battery, then into your homes power suppy. Even though it
sounds a
difficult ... as I soon
found out, it's really easy.
ordered the plans (you'll get a cd of the plans in the mail, but you can download everything immediately after you pay for it), watched each of the step-by-step videos and got started right away gathering the materials. After about a week I finally had all the supplies (I had to order the solar cells from the internet) and I had my first fully functional solar panel the very next day! It was pretty astonishing to me how easy it was, especially compared to how complicated the other sets of plans that I bought were.
The End Result... (8 Solar Panels And Electricity Bill Cut In Half)
After I had my very first working solar panel in front of me, my mind was thinking about the possibilities and I ran into the house to get some paper to sketch some designs. Before I knew it I had ordered the solar cells for 7 more panels. While the cells were in the mail I got the first panel wired into the house, and in just three weeks from when I first got the guide I had 8 solar panels wired into my house.
On average our electric bill has been cut in half, and every once in a while during a bright summer day I'll catch our meter going backwards (I just can't help myself from watching the meter on sunny days). Even though we aren't fully off the grid, we are working on cutting down our energy usage before we build any more solar panels. But I am planning on building that wind turbine ... and when I update the blog next month I'm sure I'll have another report for you!
Of course discovering this incredibly easy, step-by-step plan on how to build a solar panel has been pure luck considering how much garbage is on the internet, and if you need to cut down on your electric bills, or just want your house to be a little more "green", then I recommend you try this too, especially if (like me) you've tried everything else, have run out of ideas and don't want to spend hours trying to figure it out yourself.

Good Afternoon Addicts!
|Carey Price drops his tooth off at the bench during last night's
29 save win against the Ottawa Senators
With Eller, Max Pacioretty and captain Brian Gionta out of the line-up things were looking pretty grim heading into game two of the best of seven series. The Habs however played the way they needed to in order to tie the series up before heading to the nation's capital.
Carey Price played excellent, hopefully putting to rest the doubt that too many Montreal fans have in the team's number one goalie. Price made 29 saves and lost a tooth en route to leading the Canadiens past the Senators.
Ryan White played what was probably his best game in a Habs uniform scoring the team's first goal, throwing three hits and getting under the skin of the Senators. Rene Bourque threw three hits of his own and added an assist giving him two points in two games.
Brendan Gallagher and Alex Galchenyuk showed no signs of playoff nerves as they teamed up for the game winning goal after being reunited on a line with Brandon Prust. The Gally's each have two points in as many games and are looking very promising in their first post season at the NHL level.
With the series tied at one, the series will resume at Scotiabank Place in Kanata tomorrow night. If the Habs show the energy they displayed last night they should have no problem banking at least one win in Ottawa.
Habs And Hockey News
- Coach k (@HabsCoachK) shares his view on last night's game in Tony's Take over at montrealhockeytalk.com
- I have to say, I half expected the Penguins to beat the Islanders in three but after last night's comeback by the Islanders I can't help but wonder if Marc-Andre Fleury will blow it for the Pens for the second straight years. Justin Glock (@JTGlock) of thehockeywriters.com takes a look at last night's collapse by the Penguins.
- Michel Therrien is focused on the task at hand rather than showing a willingness to lose his cool as he might have ten years ago.

Field Practicum (also referred to as field placement, field work, or field education) is the central form of instruction and learning in social work education. Social work field practicum is learning by doing. The field practicum is a required part of the curriculum for all Master of Social Work programs that are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. The intent of field education is to connect the theoretical and conceptual contribution of the classroom with the practical world of the practice sites (CSWE EPAS, 2008). Field provides the student with opportunities to attain professional social work knowledge, values and skills and to develop and demonstrate competency behaviors. A total of 952 hours of field practicum is required to complete the WCU MSW program. No academic credit can be awarded for life or work experience or for internships in other than an accredited graduate social work program.
Characteristics of field education in WCU Graduate Social Work include:
The two 9-month placements are sequential, providing a progression in the application and integration of increasingly more sophisticated knowledge, resulting in increasing competency behaviors required for independent, advanced social work practice.

Phillips on Collins coming out: 'More power to him'
APR 29, 2013 7:40p ET
"More power to him," Brandon Phillips said after he turned his chair away from the table. "I don't judge anybody for anything. I'm happy for him for coming out and wanting to live his life like that. I wish him all the best. I have no problem with anything like that. That doesn't bother me. Hopefully, he gets a job and gets to keep on playing in his career."
The news that NBA veteran Jason Collins is gay — announced in an essay he penned for Sports Illustrated that featured a gripping first line of "I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay." — rippled through the country Monday. Collins, a free agent with hopes of playing next season, now joins a small community of active professional athletes who have come out publicly.
"I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport," Collins wrote. "But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation."
That conversation includes a question: Will this encourage other gay professional athletes to follow in Collins' footsteps? Yes, there are gay players in professional sports, whether it be the National Basketball Association, the National Football League or, as Phillips confirmed without a moment of hesitation, Major League Baseball.
"Hell yeah," he said. "Hell yeah. To tell you the truth, man, I feel like there might be one on every team. You never know."
There's a thought that Collins coming out might help blow apart the cone of silence, that his announcement can make him a pioneer for those who want to play their sport at its highest level without feeling they need to hide who they are in order to do so.
"It just depends on the person," Phillips said. "Some people have enough guts to come out and say it. Some people just want to live in the shadows and wait until their career is over … People are going to do what they want to do. He wanted to do it, and all the power to him. How they treat him, and how everything is going to go, it might encourage other people to come out."
It's too early to determine how Collins will be treated, but the discussion he wanted to create has started. It's taking place across the country, and it's present in MLB clubhouses.
"If somebody came out and said he was gay, we would still respect him as a player and as a man," Phillips said. "I don't care about that stuff. It doesn't bother me. As long as he goes out there and does his job, that's the only thing I really care about, man."
So, a player — gay or straight — should be judged only on his ability to do his job?
Sounds like a pretty good idea to me.
