The 2K series has always felt more arcade-like than EA Sports' NHL series. Last year's NHL 2K10 featured great stadium graphics, and realistic-looking player models, but it was an experience made for fans of fast-paced, unrealistic hockey. It was a much more arcade-centric game, so it appealed to one type of hockey fan while EA's NHL claimed the sports fan interested in a more realistic game. As a result, the Wii is really the perfect place for NHL 2K to land. The first developer diary, which can be seen above, highlights the game's Road to the Cup mode.  Is 2K moving in the right direction with this type of gameplay?

What are the differences between a mechanical clutch and a hydraulic clutch?
Mechanical clutches have a cable for actuation, and typically need adjusting throughout the life of the clutch. Hydraulically actuated clutches tend to be self-adjusting, as long as there is enough fluid in the reservoir. However, this does mean that hydraulic clutches can be susceptible to air bubbles in the lines, and water in the system which can lead to premature rusting. Consider silicone fluids for clutch applications to reduce water problems.
Having owned cars with both, I can't say I've noticed any significant performance difference between the two. I can't see any reason why a hydraulic one would be slower or more sluggish than a cable one - bear in mind they both work on the same principle, just that a hydraulic system pushes an incompressible inner medium (the fluid) through a flexible outer pipe, wheras a bowden cable typically pulls a non-stretchable steel cable through a similar flexible pipe.
I have found hydraulically operated clutches to be more reliable in the shorter term (i.e. they don't need to be constantly adjusted), but more expensive to fix when they do eventually go wrong (Typically the seals on one or other of the cylinders perishing after a decade or so) - but then it is typically easier to get at the cylinders than it is to get at the cable runs on some cars I've dealt with. I have found that cables tend to sieze or break through rust at similar intervals.
Hydraulics are better for cars where the clutch and pedal are far apart, such as rear engined cars, as a long cable would otherwise be needed. They can also go round much tighter corners than a bowden cable. A cable however is much cheaper to make in the first place, and requires less space as it doesn't need cylinders and reservoirs.
I know this is an old post but as it comes up on search engines I would like to add... It seems as though clutches last longer with mechanical linkage . Additionally, when replacing clutches on hydraulic systems- if you have the flywheel turned(resurfaced) then you need a spacer, whereas with the old mechanical linkage it would simply require adjusting prior to the first drive after reassembly of the clutch setup.
A cable clutch is pulled in and out by a cable from the pedal to the lever which operates it. A hydraulic clutch has a cylinder at the pedal like the brakes and feeds fluid to another cylinder which pushed the lever to move the clutch in and out.

Go windows/one linux and use parallels or vmware to run the rest. With that kind of space its gonna get painful do to a tri boot. with the overhead that many distros and windows has, by the time you get done installing all of them, you will probably have 7-10 GB only to use per OS.
At least that will allow you to move off the unused vm and save it on an external drive or whatnot if you dont plan to use it for a bit.
But as for an idea if I were to do it ....
Using win2K (not xp, eats up too much space) and Debian and Ubuntu:
hda1 win2K 15GB
hda2 / (etx3,deb) 10GB
hda3 / (ext3,sarge)10GB
hda4 extended
hda5 /mnt/data (ext3 or something of the sort that can be shared across all OS's. Yes windows can do reiser and ext) 24GB
hda6 swap 1GB
Give or take that would work well for the time being. Remember one os is much easier to manage. You would be best off using whatever primary OS you want and going VM for the rest. My mac and desktop are like that and its a hella lot easier to use every distro. Parallels is $50 for a dual lic, win+lin key.

When the four horsewomen of directional fashion-Erin Wasson, Vanessa Traina, Natasha Poly, and Lauren Santo Domingo-showed up at this year's Met Gala wearing Phi and looking fabulous, we knew that the label would soon be on everyone's lips. And rightfully so: such a strong collection deserves to be discussed! Designed by the talented Andreas Melbostad (an Alber Elbaz protégée with stints at Yves Saint Laurent and Calvin Klein under his belt), Phi's Fall 09 offerings combine the best of the season's biker-and-bondage trends, resulting in a darkly sophisticated and dangerously stylish look.
Though it's difficult to duplicate the luxury and quality of Phi's pieces completely, the runway collection is so inspiring that we couldn't resist giving it a Who What Wear-reinterpretation. Though Melbostad refrained from using all but the soberest colors (it's all blacks, blues, and grays, save for two cabernet-hued pieces), each look has texture galore. For example, the Paneled Silk Miniskirt ($1195) might seem simple from afar, but when it's worn with a Shearling Cropped Leather Jacket ($3195) and accessorized with Long Quilted Leather Gloves ($595), a Three-Buckle Leather Belt ($650), and some stompy Buckled Leather Ankle Boots ($995), the details really sing. Accordingly, we sought out a few select pieces that could easily combine to elevate a basic black outfit into something Phi-like and aggressively gorgeous. Not to boast, but we just might have created our best Inspired By yet. Read on for all our favorite finds and, if you're so inclined, let us know what fall collection you'd like us to recreate next.
1. French Connection Deconstructed Dress ($138)
These Inspired By stories usually start with a single piece, an item that so perfectly recalls a runway's vibe, we're forced to create a story to showcase it. In today's case, that item is a killer knit dress from French Connection. We think the black, charcoal, and gray paneling is simply so Phi-like (it's almost scary). Plus, consider the modestly cut frock's snug silhouette: doesn't it echo the collection's dominatrix chic perfectly? Indeed.
2. Topshop Agressa Ankle Boots ($190)
Okay: so we know that we've discussed buckled booties for ages and swoon over many a pair, but these are particularly noteworthy, we swear! Brought to you by the brilliant British minds behind Topshop, the Agressa Ankle Boot is just as strong and stern as the footwear shown at Phi, but available at a much more covetable price. While we like the faux-croc bootie shown above, you can also go for a simpler black leather version if you prefer. Just strap these wicked little warriors on over a matte pair of opaque tights, throw on your favorite black body-con items, and you'll be channeling Phi ASAP.
3. Arden B. Crinkle Skirt ($48)
Leather is particularly key to Phi's fall collection, as numerous runway looks involved zipper-embellished black leather skirts and pants. While there are lots of similar (but pricey) styles out there right now, we like Arden B.'s faux-leather skirt in black. The simple design is tough and stylish, just like our Inspired By collection.
4. Charlotte Russe Wide Strip Belt ($13)
As we mentioned earlier in this story, one of the major accessories in Phil's fall collection is the multi-buckle black leather belt. Whether it's corseting a sweater dress or cinching up a leather mini, it's a must-have for correctly interpreting the runway look. You can buy the designer version-which is lovely-now, or you can pick up a thrifty thrill like Charlotte Russe's Wide Strip Belt.
5. Diane von Furstenberg Clovis Gloves ($185)
The collection's biker-bondage vibe was definitely reinforced with accessories like above-the-elbow quilted leather gloves. Very Mad Max future apocalypse, for sure. While we civilians might find these ultra-long moto gloves a bit difficult to wear (hello bulky arms!), a leather-and-knit version is definitely doable. Accordingly, we flipped when we found this stylish pair of gorgeous gloves from Diane von Furstenberg. The medium gray leather is lovely and the black knit arms are much easier to wear than an all-leather version.
6. Topshop Knitted Gilet ($100)
As Melbostad so deftly demonstrated with this collection, when you're working with a limited color palette, it's nice to use lots of different fabrics. The final outfits are just more interesting, engaging, and nuanced. As such, you should definitely seek and source a faux-fur bolero or gilet, like this black version from Topshop. Throw it on over anything to give your outfit a touch of luxury and drama.
7. Bumble and bumble Shine ($35)
The beauty look at Phi was a study in understatement. Faces were basically bare and the hair was almost as minimal. Think: simple, straight, and semi-long. Of course, the models' locks were also wonderfully shiny and enviably sleek, just the sort of hair we often yearn for. While we're still fighting the frizz, one fussy day at a time, we're feeling that our hair dreams just might be achievable, thanks to Bumble and bumble's Shine. It's lightweight enough for even the finest strands yet robust enough for coarser locks-basically it's the best. Try it and see for yourself, you'll be glad you did!

Press Release 2012, Airport services
LONDON, England- March 1st, 2012
LONDON, England - March 1st, 2012 - Star Alliance, the world's longest serving airline alliance, has welcomed the development of the new Terminal 2 at Heathrow which will become its new home at the airport when the terminal opens in 2014.
UK Secretary of State for Transport, the Rt Hon Justine Greening joined industry guests at BAA's 'topping out' ceremony on February 29th, 2012, to mark the end of major structural work.
Lee Hock Lye, Vice President Products & Services, Star Alliance said: "The Star Alliance member carriers are looking forward to moving into our new home here at Terminal 2, Heathrow. Being located under one roof will enable our airlines to deliver seamless alliance travel to our passengers, further enhancing the current airport customer experience."
The Terminal 2 programme comprises four elements: the new terminal, a satellite pier, a new multi-storey car park and the redevelopment of the associated road system. The design of the terminal provides a modern, technologically progressive and environmentally friendly space for travellers and employees alike.
"The redevelopment of Terminal 2 will reinforce Heathrow's position as one of the leading global aviation hubs. From our new home at Heathrow, Star Alliance will be able to compete on an equal footing in the alliance arena, something we have been waiting for ever since the opening of Terminal 5," added Hock Lye.
Star Alliance has more daily flights and serves more destinations than any other. The Alliance's 27 airlines operate over 4,000 aircraft, offering more than 21,000 daily flights to 1,290 destinations and carrying over 600 million passengers a year. At Heathrow, the alliance has 25 airlines offering 185 flights per day serving 73 destinations in 38 countries.

Kirwan Rockefeller, Human Science
Kirwan RockefellerHuman Science Alumni 1994
"For centuries," says Kirwan Rockefeller, "educational institutions have been the keepers of knowledge: ' You come to us when you need us, and we ' ll teach you what you need to know. ' But that has changed drastically in the past 15 years because of the Internet. Knowledge is everywhere now, and that has revolutionized the delivery system of education."
As director of arts and humanities for the University of California / Irvine's extension program, Rockefeller has witnessed that revolution first-hand. He sums it up this way: "The Internet provides knowledge, but it doesn't always provide learning."
And learning is more important than ever in the information age, he suggests. As the world becomes more interconnected and more complex, knowledge only goes so far. It's the ability to think critically --- to draw knowledge from different sources, apply it across disciplines, navigate webs of connections --- that distinguishes the well-educated person from the merely well-informed one.
"I'm pretty typical of a Saybrook student," says Rockefeller. "I've always been iconoclastic and have had a variety of things that interest me. Saybrook gave me the opportunity to tie everything together, to create bridges where a link might not be apparent. It allowed me to create my own path."
Rockefeller's path was already long and winding when he arrived at Saybrook in the early 1990s. A great-great-grandnephew of oil magnate John D. Rockefeller, he initially worked as a dancer and choreographer, later as an actor. At age 31 he abruptly switched gears and went into the corporate world, joining Bank of America's philanthropy division. Then he returned to the entertainment industry, working seven years for Universal Studios and later carving out a niche as an independent script consultant.
"I had experience in the public, corporate, and nonprofit worlds, and I saw them converging," says Rockefeller. "But I needed more training to be competitive in that world, and I needed more of an interdisciplinary background." He also needed the flexibility to pursue his education while maintaining a full-time career and without relocating. In that regard, Saybrook's distance-learning model was a perfect fit for Rockefeller: He could do most of the work remotely and on a flexible schedule. To attend Saybrook's residential colloquia, he simply planned his vacation time around them --- a week here, a four-day weekend there.
Rockefeller also greatly appreciated Saybrook's emphasis on mentoring. "There's no artificial distinction between faculty and student," he says. "It really is an adult relationship. They realize you're a working professional with a whole lifetime of experience, and that you may bring as much expertise to that relationship as the faculty member. The faculty become your mentors, coaches, friends, and colleagues."
Indeed, Rockefeller included work from number of his former Saybrook instructors in Psychology, Spirituality, and Healthcare, a volume of essays and articles about the "whole person" approach to medicine. Rockefeller served as general editor for the volume, published in 2007 by Praeger Perspectives.
That same year Rockefeller also authored his first book, Visualize Confidence: How to Use Guided Imagery to Overcome Self-Doubt. The book describes how people in various walks of life --- including well-known figures such as Jack Nicklaus --- steady themselves in moments of crisis by mentally envisioning a positive outcome. The book drew upon his work at UC Irvine Extension and his Saybrook degree in human science.
Ironically enough, his first Saybrook assignment caused Rockefeller to have his own crisis of confidence.
"It was just a five-page paper," he laughs, "and it came back with red marks all over it. I thought, 'How in god's name am I going to write a dissertation?'"
That experience helps him empathize with his students at UCI Extension. "I work with people who are looking to better their lives and develop their careers in new areas," he says. "I have untold people say to me, 'I want to change my career, I want to do something different,' but it seems overwhelming. People have so much on their plate: family, jobs, work, responsibilities. They don't believe they can get a degree on top of all that; they lack confidence, and it stops a lot of them cold."
It could have stopped Rockefeller too, but he made the task of pursuing his doctorate seem more manageable by mentally breaking it up into segments --- "baby steps," he laughs. He also adopted a "failure is not an option" mentality; he would get the doctorate, because without it he'd never achieve the goals he had set for himself.
Rockefeller continues to have a broad range of interests and pursuits. In addition to his writing and academic careers, he edits California Psychologist and remains active in the arts, chairing the Newport Beach Arts Commission and sitting on the board of the Newport Beach Film Festival.
"Getting a Ph.D. is as much about personal development as about professional achievement. It helped me become the person I wanted to be --- the person I knew I could be. But I didn't know how to get there. Saybrook helped me find the way, and it expanded my mind. That's ultimately what education is about --- expanding your world and becoming the person you want to be."

TAMPA, Fla.- From strip clubs, to golf courses and everywhere in between, if they served food in 2012, we were there.
From a bandage in the soup at an Italian Restaurant in Pinellas to a French tip finger nail in the ice cream at a Pinellas Park family buffet, we saw everything you could imagine and more.
Restaurant employees were often unhappy to see our camera. Some invited us in, then changed their minds later.
"Delete the video!" one employee said as we were leaving.
Others pulled us outside, as soon as we walked in the door.
Not everyone was angry. Some owners had a sense of humor, like the owner of Frank's Family Restaurant in Citrus County, who joked about why rodents might have been in the kitchen.
"I even like to get out of the cold," said owner Bill Wineski. "Plus its kinda attractive to something that's hungry, it's called a restaurant."
We heard lots of excuses and explanations for the problems found in 2012.
Like the ice cream shop that said chocolate sprinkles were mistaken for rodent droppings.
"You won't find a cleaner restaurant," shouted the owner.
But we discovered inspection reports rarely lie. In fact, time after time, we found restaurants that said they were cleaned up but still had roaches weeks later.
"One, two, three, four... yeah this restaurant is filled with roaches,' we said during an inspection of the Steak Escape inside the Citrus Park Mall.
In January of last year, CiCi's Pizza in Kenneth City that told us their kitchen was clean. Later that night we showed roaches running around the dining room on live TV.
After our report, the restaurant closed down for weeks to complete a renovation. CiCi's eventually invited us back and we were so impressed we even tried out the pizza.
"For guests that haven't been here in a couple months they're going to see a completely new restaurant," said Kyle Smith, CiCi's Senior Vice President of Operations back in April.
We were happy to find lots of restaurants like the Columbia on Clearwater Beach that quickly addressed any problems found.
But a few instead, tried covering up issues, unable or unwilling to get their kitchen clean.

To Protect and Serve the CSU
Nov. 15, 2012
By Elizabeth Chapin
California State University campuses are among the safest in the state. Their high safety ratings demonstrate the commitment university police have in promoting and maintaining a safe campus environment—as well as their dedication to serving the CSU.
The CSU's 23 campuses are home to more than 460 sworn peace officers who undergo the same rigorous academy as county and city officers, as well as an additional 16 weeks of specialized campus training. And although CSU police have authority throughout the state, the campus and its nearby vicinity is their primary focus.
Each campus has its own police department with a chief who is in charge of the officers and administrative duties. The chief reports to the campus president and works with the CSU's systemwide police chief.
"At the systemwide level, we maintain a wider view with respect to policy and law enforcement strategies," said Nathan Johnson CSU systemwide police chief. "We are looking into technology, dispatch systems and equipment that may create cost savings and consistency throughout the system."
For CSU officers the top priority is safety. And on campus, it starts with students.
In addition to law and parking enforcement, CSU police provide programs and services ranging from bicycle registration and fingerprinting to self defense classes, alcohol awareness, safety escorts and special event security. They also offer information sessions and workshops to make sure students are aware of them.
University police also collaborate with other campus departments such as athletics and housing. For example, each semester, Chico State police and University Housing host "freshman safe start," which is aimed to provide support and safety training to all incoming freshman students living in the dorms.
In addition, nearly every CSU also has community service officers (CSOs), student employees that help provide support services to the police department and build a stronger relationship between police and students.
Police regularly reach out to campus neighbors, too. Many campuses such as CSU Northridge hold annual community events to give families that live near campus the opportunity to learn about resources, emergency operations and vehicle and personal safety.
"The campus is not an island. Many of the CSU campuses are in small communities that depend on the officers," said Johnson. "It's important to build those ties."
Visit the systemwide risk management and public safety website for more information about CSU's law enforcement.

Whenever an operating system upgrade lands on the market, cell phone manufacturers have to decide whether or not to deliver a version that is compatible for every device still in use. In some instances the equipment isn't capable of handling the software. In others, it's a decision solely driven by economics.
Most of us understand that if we're still using a phone with an antenna, we shouldn't expect to get an Ice Cream Sandwich update. However, if we have a smartphone that is capable of handling an update, has a significant problem that will be fixed with an impending OS revision or was bought before an update was released and we were told the phone would get the update, can't we expect equipment makers to provide an update for that device?
Recent decisions by equipment manufacturers like Motorola and Apple to not provide an OS upgrade for some of their older devices has left many consumers going "What the...?!".
In the case of Motorola, they were a member of the Android Upgrade Alliance, promising customers they would upgrade specific phones for 18 months after they came out – commitments that probably drove sales of a few devices.
Recently, Motorola quietly abandoned its update pledge, killing off plans to ever update some of their recent releases like the Photon 4G, The Electrify and the Atrix 4G, a flagship phone that debuted on AT&T. The result is that thousands of people in the middle of two-year carrier contracts will never get Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and will have to keep using Android 2.3, or Gingerbread. Since ICS was a major OS update, Motorola customers with lose out on lots of new features like visual voice mail, app folders and resizeable widgets, not to mention security updates.
If you'll recall, Apple did the same thing to its older device-holders back in June. Apple released system requirements for machines eligible OS X Mountain Lion upgrades and later revealed that pre-2007 iMacs, pre-2008 Mac Pros, MacBook Airs released in the first half of 2008 and MacBook Pros released before mid-2007 wouldn't be getting iOS 6.
We spend way too much money on our smartphones and tablets in the first place. If equipment manufacturers aren't willing to keep investing in products for as long as we, their customers, are under contract they aren't keeping their part of the bargain.

Seminar sessions involve discussions of assigned readings and "rounds" discussions of fieldwork projects. Topics include the historical and institutional context of the Tenderloin and nearby neighborhoods, the history and politics of San Francisco development, key local and state legislation shaping community economic development, and the role of lawyers in CED work. Students write an analytical paper comparing the transformation of a low-income Boston neighborhood to historic and current efforts in San Francisco to protect and revitalize the Tenderloin, Mid-Market, and other low-income neighborhoods. Students interview a local Tenderloin resident, business, service provider, or other stakeholder and add the interview to the Clinic's ongoing "Tenderloin Chronicles." Students also closely monitor local political and economic developments, attending community meetings and sharing information on the Clinic's internal blog.
Fieldwork Component:
Students will work an average of 16-20 hours per week on legal work for Clinic clients. Students work in pairs or threesomes, write weekly field notes describing and analyzing their fieldwork, and meet weekly with Prof. Piomelli to discuss their work. Fieldwork activities typically include interviewing clients, carrying out extensive factual and legal research, attending community meetings, and counseling group representatives. Depending upon the project, students may also draft proposed legislation or regulations, position papers, community education materials, requests for public records, or comment letters, and may make public presentations and/or brief public officials and their aides.
Open to: 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th semester students.
8 units: The Clinic a one-semester, 8-unit clinic. 4-unit non-GPA class and 4-unit fieldwork must be taken concurrently. Students receive a letter grade for the class (based on all aspects of their work in the seminar and fieldwork), as well as credit/no-credit for the fieldwork units. Fieldwork units count against the maximum of 18 non-classroom units that a student can earn. There is an option for some students to continue fieldwork in the spring semester for 3 or 4 additional units of fieldwork.
Prerequisite: Consent of the instructor.

WEST WARWICK --- They will try this again today.
Tuesday's start to the American Legion Senior Division "Elite Eight" double-elimination tournament only reached a few innings before inclement weather rained on most of the state and suspended both opening-round doubleheaders at McCarthy Field in West Warwick and Pierce Field in East Providence.
No. 5 seed Collette Vacations Post 79, which was taking on No. 4 seed Hurd Auto Mall of Johnston in the first game of a twinbill at McCarthy, managed to take a 1-0 lead before a bolt of thunder, followed by rain, delayed the game in the top of the fourth inning.
After a delay that lasted a little more than an hour and a couple of meetings in the middle of the diamond with Collette manager Ray Ventura, Hurd manager Mike Cantone, and the four-man umpiring crew, the game was suspended and the nightcap of the doubleheader pitting top-seeded Cumberland Post 14 and No. 8 seed Shoreline of North Kingstown was postponed.
"We wanted to play, and you know I wanted to play," added Ventura. "I think if they waited another half hour, we'd be able to play, and I'm telling you, the sun's going to come out by the time we get back (home)."
Collette's contest with Hurd Auto will resume this afternoon at 5 p.m. back at McCarthy, and the Cumberland-Shoreline game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m.
As for the rest of the playoff schedule, everything has been pushed ahead one day. The winners from today's games will head to Pierce tomorrow for the 7 p.m. game of another twinbill, while the losers will look to keep their seasons alive by battling in the 4 p.m. opener.
The tourney's other four teams who tried to play last night at Pierce will also return to action today. No. 3 seed Gershkoff/Auburn Post 20 will continue its game with No. 6 seed New England Frozen Lemonade/Shields Post 43 at 4 p.m., and No. 2 seed R&R Construction of Portsmouth will play No. 7 seed West Warwick Post Two at 6 p.m.
Tourney action will continue everyday until Sunday at Rhode Island College, when the championship games are scheduled for noon and (if an extra one is necessary) 3:30 p.m.
In Collette's game with Hurd, Post 79 had scored its without the benefit of a hit off Hurd pitcher Brendan Cabral.
With one out, Nathan Patch worked a walk, and after he advanced to third on consecutive passed balls, Max Perry walked and C.J. Lapierre followed with a grounder to second.
Hurd was able to get Perry out at second for the second out, but unable to get off a strong throw to first to complete the double play, allowing Patch to cross the plate.
The first three innings featured some excellent pitching by Perry and Cabral, who each didn't allow a runner to reach third. Perry scattered three hits and struck out two, and Cesino only surrendered a pair of one-out singles to Zach Mitsmenn and Dom DiSano in the first inning.
"I was very happy with the way Max was pitching," said Ventura. "I'm going to see how Max feels tomorrow, but he threw about 70 pitches, so it's tough. I might come back with Joe Brooks, which was my intention anyway, so we'll see what happens."

Robert D. Gorman, managing editor of the Watertown Daily Times, has announced his retirement, effective June 14.
Mr. Gorman, 62, a native of Detroit, Mich., began his professional career at the Georgetown (S.C.) Times in 1974. After 20 years as a reporter and editor at South Carolina newspapers, he was named assistant managing editor-news for the Watertown Daily Times in 1994 and managing editor in 2001.
Mr. Gorman has won several journalism awards and was named Journalist of the Year in South Carolina in 1979, in part for a series of stories he wrote on welfare fraud. Since Mr. Gorman arrived in 1994, the Times has won numerous state Associated Press awards and recently was named a finalist for the national Mirror Awards, which will be announced June 5 in New York City.
He was on the board of directors of the New York chapters of the Associated Press and was elected president in 2001.
On July 1, Mr. Gorman will become chief executive officer of the United Way of Northern New York, replacing Jayn M. Graves, who is retiring in June.
I wasnt ready to retire as a journalist, but I have had some changes in my personal life that require me to have a more fixed work schedule, Mr. Gorman said. I appreciate the faith the board of United Way is placing in me. The name Jayn Graves has been synonymous with United Way for decades, so replacing her will be a challenge. Fortunately, we will have some transition time and she has graciously offered to continue helping the organization with advice.
Mr. Gorman said he became a supporter of United Way more than 30 years ago.
I made my first donation to United Way in 1982 when I created a fundraising video for a chapter in South Carolina. So it is an agency I have supported for a long time.
United Way Board President Jane V. Schmitt said Mr. Gorman was the unanimous choice of the board.
He has some new and innovative ideas for development as well as an understanding of the importance and value of our current donor base, she said in a news release. We couldnt ask for a better fit. His business acumen and commitment to the community are important assets.
Mr. Gorman has served on a number of nonprofit boards in Jefferson County and is the president of the Thompson Park Conservancy. He also was a founding board member of the Center for Community Studies at Jefferson Community College, and led the effort to create the Hall of Achievement in the Watertown City School District. He also was on the formation committee for the website Drumcountry.com, and coined the phrase The warmest place youll ever live.
He recently was honored by the American Red Cross for donating more than 11 gallons of blood since the early 1970s. As a member of First Presbyterian Church, 403 Washington St., he has been involved in the development of church and school projects in Mzuzu, Malawi.
Mr. Gormans wife, Patricia Bunny, is a teacher at Indian River High School in Philadelphia. They have two sons; Sean M. is a teacher at Carthage High School, and Matthew W. is employed by the Childrens Home of Jefferson County.
The following statement is from John B. Johnson, Jr., editor and publisher of the Times:
Bob Gorman came to the Watertown Daily Times in the spring of 1994. The newspaper has not been the same since.
Bob brought his family to Watertown from South Carolina and from the first days of their time here they have made a difference in the community.
Professionally Bob spent many hours hiring the best people he could find to become reporters for The Times. His hires have gone on to distinguish themselves in journalism a profession of very competitive people. Some of his former reporters now work at Reuters and Time magazine, in Washington and Albany and New York City.
Bob worked hard to find the right combination of factors to disseminate news on the internet. The current very successful website is the culmination of Bobs efforts and its community acceptance is a great tribute to Bobs perseverance.
Bobs columns were widely read and anticipated.
We will miss Bobs energy, enthusiasm and his absolute dedication to telling stories which impact readers. He understands news and the challenges of publishing accurate and fair stories. He has withstood pressure to compromise his values.
He has been very active in the community and helped create the Hall of Achievement at Case Middle school. The Hall was a community effort he led to remind todays students of the success of people who attended Watertown Public Schools in the past. He has overseen recent development of the Thompson Park Conservancy. He brought nationally renowned speakers to JCC and the city.
His wife, a teacher at Indian River, has excelled in barbershop singing, helping bring distinction to voices from the north country. Their sons, Sean and Matt, made Watertown High School a basketball powerhouse.
We will miss Bob in his retirement but we are heartened to know that he will devote his energy to the United Way, have the time to help his father who recently moved to Watertown and that he will consult with us as we continue to tell the North Country story.
A reception to introduce Mr. Gorman to United Way stakeholders is being planned for early June.
Thousands of readers like you have made Northern New York Newspapers the number one ranked website* for local news and sports coverage in the north country.
